The Jewish outlook., 1906-01-19


of Naxos, for assistance European
monarchs addressed the Jewish minister
as "Illustris Principe, amice noster
dilecte" During his lifetime and prob
ably through his influence, fellow-.Jew,
one Emanuel, was appointed Vaivoide,
or Prince Regent Of Moldavia. Beyond
this fact, nothing however, is known of
this latter parsonage.
The Jewish monarch, however, who is
best known for his royal fame is, with
out doubt, Saul Whal, the ephermeral
King of Poland. Saul was the son Of the
Chief Rabbi of Padua, and emigrated
during his early manhood to Poland. The
foundation of his fortunes was due to
Prince Radziwill, a colleague of his at
the university, who, finding himself at
Padua in temporary difficulties was be-
friended by the Chief Rabbi and in re-
turn promised to be of service to his son.
In his adopted country Saul prospered
to such an extent that on the death of the
king, Stephen Battori, he presided over
the Council of Mobiles that was called to-
gether to elect successor The council
was fercely divided and could not agree
uPoI Il CttH>tlodIC. ny CIC Collo'lCuCioii,
however, an immediate choice was i'm
perative, and in order to gain time the
council determined to elect their presi-
dent king for the space Of one day. On
the following day they came to decis-
ion, and Saul s successor loaded him
with honor and gave him the most i'm
portant post at the coronation. At the
same time the surname of Wahl was con-
ferred upon him in memory of his
choice He used his influence for the
benefit Of his co-religionists and devoted
much property to the fllrtherance Of
Jewish ideas. History furnishes no con-
frmation Of the story Of his election, but
the other details of his career are based
on reliable evidence, and there is no
doubt that he died, after long and pros
porous life, in 1922, at the age Of eighty.
The story of his kingship may, per-
haps, be due to an earlier legend. 1t
runs that on the death of King Popiel,
the Diet determined that the first man to
enter the town of Kruszwica on a given
day should be temporarily king The
fortunate one happened to be Jew,
Abraham Prochovnik. Most Of the lead
ing Anglo-Jewish families claim descent
from Saul Wahl. Among others, the
family of the late Chief Rabbi Herschell,
Lord Pirbright, and the other members
Of the De Worms family, Lord Rose
bery's children, Lord Herschell and his
relatives, the family Of Sir George Fau-
del-Phillips, Mrs. F. D. Mocatta, Mrs.

BRYAN IS SLATED AS
DEMOCRATIC LEADER

Washington, June 11-William J.
Bryan is slated for Democratic can di.
date for the Presidency in 1908. Moth
ing but death will prevent the carry
ing out of the program. AS matters
now stand it is said only one man can
defeat Bryan at the polls two years
from this coming fall. His name is
Roosevelt. Washington is settled in
its convictions as to the situation and
the statements given report its views
the Bryan movement which has
been held in leash these many weeks.
at last has been launched with great
gusto. The action of the Indiana state
convent in endorsing Bryan in the
resolutions is regarded here as of the
greatest significance. Previously the
Bryan propaganda had been given a
prodigious shove by the Democratic
organs in Arkansas ana South Dakota.
But tnat is not all. Former Cover
nor David R Francis. of Missouri, has
sounded the battle cry Oh behalf of
che consel vatives. Francis was with
the gold Democrats in 1896 and 1900
He is back in li.e. So are the
rest of the old Cleveland Democracy.
Byran is to be the choice of the con.
servative Democrats and he also will
have behind him all of his former fol-
lowing. When Bryan returns home
in August he will receive an ovation
suoh as has been accorded to no
American since General Grants time.
He will be acclaimed nn bis arrival in
New York as the undisputed leader of
one Of the great parties of the nation
and wherever he goes from then un-
til he holding the next national con-
vention he will appear as a popular
hero.

AFTER A REDUCTION
IN PASSENGER RATES

Chicago. June 11.-Agitaion is gain
ing in the western states for d re6uc-
tion of the Scent mile passenger
rate, which has b can consi6 eied the
normal figure by railroads for many
years. The last state TO take up the
cause of lower normal basis is Ms

Walter L. Houser, secretary of state
for Wisconsin, has just given tie state
railroad comm ission an elaborate arg
ument in favor of reduction to a 2

GIGANTIC PRESSURE
TO STOP EXPOSURE
Every Ramification of Great Trust
is Being Utilized to Have Halt
Called on Government
Hostility

Washington, June l1.-Secret SER
vice men axe reported to be enroute
here with sensational information in
their possession as to the use of pres
ervatives by the beef trust Tney were
sent to Chicago by order of the pres
i6ent as soon as he had been advised
verbally OF the re.ults of the investi-
CATION of labor Commissioner Neil and
James Reynolds. It is said that they
have concluded an exhaustive inquiry,
which will not only bring the packers
to their knees, but will remove tn e
power of the influences that are being
exerted against congress and the great
cattle interests with view of forcing
the president to oapitulate.
This pressure has become gigantic.
Every business, political and financial
ramification OF the trust is being util.
lied directly and inc irectly to have a
halt called on governmental exposuI g
and, if possible, get an official declar.
alton that the portrayal of conditions
in the packing houses has been exag.
gerated. The CATTLE interest of the
great west and southwest which for
years have been clamoring in congress
and outside of it for protection against
the trusts are even being persuaded
that continuation of governmental
hostility will ruin them.
A cry of panic has been raised.
Not only the bankers handling the
trusts funds, but their employees,
FRIENDS and aoQuaintances IN the bust
ness, social and political worlds have
been enl listed to use their Efforts in a
gigantic struggle that is now in pro-
gress to stem the tide against the

EDITORS OFF FOR
 FLORIDA RESORT
COUNTY PRIMARY IN GADSDEN WILL BE HELD TODAY-THERE SEEMS TO BE LITTLE INTEREST IN THE OUTCOME.

Gadsden, July 21-(Special.)-Th mem- bers of the State Press association, their wives and daughters left for Atlantic Beach, Fla. on their annual outing, this afternoon at 12:3o over the Louisville and Nashville railroad the train being one hour late. Two Pullman sleepers were provided. The party will be joined by others at Montgomery tonight and will reach their destination tomorrow at noon.
 While the attendance was not large, the meeting of the press association which has just closed, was perhaps one of thef most important in a business way that has been held in many years. The organization of the advertising de- partment has marked an important step forward and the members expressed themselves as greatly pleased with the result. The social features were most pleasant the place of meeting being most happily adapted for this purpose.
 Outside of the candidates themselves, there is less excitement than ever known here on the eve of a primary election. Etowah county has fifteen candidates who will be voted for tomorrow. According to their own expressions each one is confident he will be elected Besides the sheriff. an appointee for the city court will be nominated. Judge J. H. Disque, the incumbent has no opposition. Two representatives for the legislature will be nominated There are three candidates for this office, with considerable inter est being shown. Two county commis- sioners will also be voted for. On account of there being so many candidates for sheriff. the final result will probably not be known before Monday, at which time the county executive committee will meet to canvas the returns.
 Col. John H. Bankhead. candidate for alternate United States senator, has an- nounced that he will address the voters of Etowah county at Hokes Bluff at 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon August l. and Gadsden the same evening at o'clock. Banlkhead has many admirers in this section and will have good audiences to hear him.

Woodlawn, July 27.-(specia1. )-The town of Woodlawn will hold an election tomorrow for the purpose of deciding whether it shall issue $l5,00O of 5 per cent twenty year bonds for the purpose of enlarging the sanitary sewer system. The officials of the municipality urge that all citizens come to the polls and vote in order that the decision reached may meet the approval of the majority of tax payers.
 It will be remembered that the town issued $15.0OO in bonds some time since for the same purpose and instructed the engineer to prepare plans and specifica- tions of a first class sanitary system for the town The report of the engineer showed that it would take about twice the amount voted to put the municipality in proper sanitary shape and the vote tomorrow is for the purpose of allowing the citizens the privilege of following out the specifications which the report of the engineer showed to be necessary for an adequate system. The movement is expected to carry with practically no opposition.
