of the senate passed without an excit.
Ing incident and without the adoption
OF a single amendment to the railroad
rate bill, Notwithstanding that meas
ure was under consideration practical
ly all the time from the hour of con.
vening until adjournment. The most
characteristic feature Of the day was
the rejection Of amendments. This
was accomplished either by direct
vote or by the process OF laying on
the table, and one followed another In
rapid succession. Among the propo
sitions thus adversely disposed OF
were several intended to fE the liabil.
ity Of railroad companies for injury
to employees. The presentation Of pro
visions intended to accomplish this
purpose had the effect of bringing out
. practically authoritative statement
that the committee on interstate com.
merce will report the independent
house bill on that subject, which Is
now pending before II.
When the senate adjourned the
eighth section Of the bill regulatins

Such was the intention of President
Roosevelt when Commissioner Gar.

his report giving the results of his
investigation into the Standard Oil
monopoly. unfortunately, Mr.. Gar.
field had submitted the information he
had collected to the Standard Oil

enable the officials of the corporation
to set up a plea Of immunity.
The administration also had to con.

Appeal to Jews Unnecessary

The National Conference Of Jewish
Charities has sent out the following:
Whereas, 1t appears that the general
fund gathered for the relief OF San
Francisco is under the control Of the
finance committee of the Relief and Red
Cross fund.- and that said committee,
through two Of it's officials, has expressed
the opinion that it is their hope that
considerable part of the fund subscribed
for the relief of San Francisco will be
available for rehabilitation purposes;
and,
Whereas, The important and immedi-
ate problem to be met and solved by this
organization is that of aiding our unfor-
tunate coreligiOnists who have lost their
means of maintenance and support, and
who have urgent need of such aid as will
enable them to re-establish themselves
and,
Whereas, 1t now appears from repre-
sentations made to this committee by
Drs. Magnes and Frankel, who have been
in personal communication with the
finance committee of the Relief and Red
Cross fund that the task and problem of
rehabilitation will be satisfactorily met
and solved by said committee and,
Whereas, We feel that our charity Or
ganizations freed from the task Of reha-
bilitation, will be able to weather the
storm and by the use Of all their several
reserve funds will be able to meet the
heavy demand which will doubtless be
made upon them without the aid Of kin
dred sectarian institutions; be it
Resolved, That we, fully appreciative
of the generous offers made to aid us,
deem it unnecessary for us to accept
those liberal and kind offers at this time,
and we undertake to care for our needy,
as we have done in the past.

Zionist Bulletin


The ninth annual convention of the
Federation Of American Zionists, to be
held at Tannersville, New York, on the
days of June 29th, 3Oth, and July 1st,
I'd, Sd, 4th, inclusive, is expected to in
augurate new epoch in American Zion
ism. Practical work, looking toward i'm
mediate results for the benefit Of the
movement at large and the national or
ganization will be the keynote Of the con-
vention. "Cegenwartsarbeit, - the new
est and most promising phase in Zionism,
will be in the minds Of the delegates
throughout the proceedings, and it may
therefore be anticipated that practical
conclusions will be arrived at looking to-
ward Palestinian activities. The con-
vention committee feel confident that
all attending will enthusiastically indorse
the innovation Of holding the convention
at summer resort and the pleasantest
surroundings, instead Of, as heretofore,
in large city. Many interesting fea-
lures will mark the difference between
this convention and the preceding ones,
but more complete account Of the ar
rangements as finally decided upon will
be published later.
Delegates representing societies from
all parts Of the country, East, West,
North and South, will attend in goodly
number. In connection with this it is
desired to point out to proxy delegates
that they will be expected to lay before
the convention all matters and sugges-
tions entrusted to them by their constit-
uents, without any individual emenda-
ton. By arrangement with the West
Shore railroad the convention committee
is enabled to provide for the delegates
through tickets from New York direct
to Tannersville at one and one-third fare.
In order to obtain this one and one-third
fare one hundred delegates certificates
will have to be presented. No mileage
or reverends' tickets will be accepted.
Societies are asked to send their banners
and such other Zionist emblems as they
may possess to the convention. Dele
gates may bring these with them;
or, in the case Of societies not
sending representatives, such banners
and emblems may be sent to the office Of
the federation, 165 E. Broadway, New
York, whence they will be taken to the
convention and then promptly and prop
erly returned. Zionists will readily un-
derstand why these banners are asked
for. No other sort Of decoration for an
assembly hall could so well make a Zion
ist feel at home.

INSURANCE ELECTION FIGHT.
PoIIcyhOIderS' Committee That
IL VIII Win.

A statement was issued to p~olicyholders
by the international policyholders' COM
mittee yesterday in which some idea il given
Of how the elections for trustees in the
Mutual and New York life insurance COM
panies are going. The elections began on
October 1S.
This is the statement:
The tabulation Of the ballots cast during
the first nine days OF the election is surprisingly
encouraging for the policyholders., Thus far
about 10 per cent. OF the entire vote of each
company has been cast in the form of Official
ballots sent to the offices of the companies.
This is entirely independent OF the ballots
that have been sent TO the Hon. Richard
Olney, the chairman Of our committee. In
view Of the desperate activities OF the COM
panies and their paid employees all over the
world 1t would not be wise at this time for
ms to disclose the number of ballots held by
Mr.. Oiney a. chairman nor Of the votes held
by the various members OF the International
polIcyholders' committee in different sections
of the country, such as Judge Gray. Gen.
Tracy, Col. shook. Mr.. HigiBbotham, Mr..
Longworih and others. n the present ratio
is maintained land it should bel. a most over
whplming defeat for the administration tickets
in both companies will be recorded.

A word list, apparently, is the modern
pedagogical term for the old spelling book.
The Washington Word-B Book. by William
Estabrook Chancellor, Superintendent OF
Public Instruction, District Of Columbia,
Macmillansl, contains, we are informed,
1900 standard words" These we infer
are those thought to be essential for the
vocabulary of Washington youth. They
are spelled according to the directions
emitted by The President, but the compiler
has the grace 20 indicate by asterisks,
sometimes doubled and trebled, that such
spelling ia unusual and eccentric.
