PLAN FOR AMERICAN JEWISH CONFERENCE NOT CARRY

New Orleans: Jacob Furth Cleveland:
Josiah Cohen, Pittsburg. The above gen
tlemen explained their absence in the
following communications:
Chicago, ILL.,, May IA, 1906.
''Louis Marshall, Esq, New York City.
Dear SIR The undersigned have con-
cluded to absent themselves from the
conference called to meet at New York
to explain the reasons for their refusal
to further participate in the delibera
tions begun in February last. The plan
adopted by the committee clearly ex-
ceeds the authority vested in the commit
tee. At the meeting in New York in
February the consensus of the ma jority
of the participants was that it was in
advisable to organize a new body, for this
would lead to duplication and, there
fore, also to waste of energy. The field
was believed to be thoroughly covered
by the existing organization. The neces-
sity was perhaps recognized of calling
into being sort of clearing committee,
which should be an instrument to facili-
tate the cooperation among existing or
CARNATIONS, especially in eases of urgent
emergency. We notice that the Brussels
conference held on January 29th came
virtually to the same conclusion. The
delegates there were also Of the opinion
that it was merely wise to take steps with
a view to supply a ready instrument for
consultation and cooperation among ex-
listing organizations. They did not pro-
pose to supplant the agencies that up to
the present time had undertaken to do
the work in the field Of philanthropy, di-
plomacy, or in any other direction.
''The scheme drafted by the commit
tee proposes to ignore all existing organ
izations and in their stead to call into
being new body. It will be remem-

The plan to hold an American Jewish
conference was voted down by the rep
resentative Jews called from all sections
Of the country to meet in the United He
brew Charities Building, New York City,
May 10Th. The committee of eight APP
pointed at the first gathering of the del
egates, February 4th, submitted its re-
port, which was published in the Jewish
Outlook, May 18th. The second meet
ing Of the delegates Saturday night,
May 10Th, was attended by twenty five
of the ffty-eight invited. Those pres

bered that in the debate held in Feb
rliary, the point was raised that to con-
Vene a Jewish congress would only be
lnadvisable, but also dangerous to the
best interests of the Jews of America.
IL is true, the committee has abandoned
the name congress- it substitutes the
word conference but under the new
name it is proposed now to launch the
very organization which met with gen
eral condemnation at the meeting in Feb
ruary. The object for which this confer
ence is to be organized is not clearly
stated, the term used, the cause of Ju-
daism, is extremely vague. 1t may in
the future open the door to all sorts of
attempts on the religious liberty Of the
Jews and the autonomy Of existing con-
gregations and fraternities. It smacks
somewhat of ecclesiastical pretension
Certainly the communities among whom
we live believe that they have been loyal
to the cause of Judaism and do not pro-
pose to delegate the special stewardship
OF this cause to any conference or SINH
lar body, even if the right is given them
to select the delegates Nor is it true
that the new agency is required to do
whatever the American Jew can and may
do to secure the civil rights of co-relig-
ionists in other countries Both the Union
OF American Hebrew Congregations and
the Order of B mai B 'rith have, when
ever occasion arose, acted in behalf of
our prosecuted brothers abroad, and al
most invariably with effective success,
therefore, even with this end in view,
the necessity of duplicating existing
agencies is not apparent. The plan of
election proposed is exceedingly compli-
Gated, and as we know the temper of our
communities and as experience teaches
us. will not work in practice The dan
ger must be clear to any unbiased OBJ

Hot air has always flowed freely
from the Portland press anent the

their recent chinook zephyrs have

greater Hug to play with the

them for the great game with the

that the great Chandler and the

CHANGE OF TIME.
On Corvallis & Eastern-New Train to
PortIand-Better Service for
Corvallis.

Changes in train schedules to
take place next Sunday, will give
Corvallis better train service than
ever. By it, three trains for Port
land will be available daily, ami
with close connections, via ALBANY.
The $50 morning train will put the
passenger into Portland at II:45 as
usual The afternoon overland for
Portland is changed so as to leave
Albany at 2:o5, and a train from
Corvallis to connect with it will put
the passenger into Portland at FIVE
o'clock p. M. A completely new
convenience is that new overland
train is to be put on the Southern
Pacific and it will pass Albany
nolthbound just in time for the six
o'clock c. & E. to connect with it.,
laying the passenger down in Port
land at 1880 in the evening. It is
an array of train conveniences such
as Corvallis has never enjoyed be-
fore, and for which the town owes
general gratitude to the c. & E.
and its stub train.
The new time card will involve
several changes of time. Though
not yet announced, it is expected
that the Westside will arrive on its
former schedule of 11:45. 1t Is al
so asserted that its departing time
will be changed to 1910, but the
announcement is not authoritative,
and may not be true. The va
quina train will 60 back to its old
schedule and leave for Albany at
1890, and leave for the Bay at 1:42.
The train that now leaves tor Al
bany at go, will start at 12:45 and
make close connections with a
northboHnd overland leaving Al
bany at 2:o5. The train that now
arrives from Albany at Ago will
reach here at sos, making close
connections with the train from the
south on the Eastside. The new
arrangement will give Corvallis by
far the best train service she ever
had. 1t will in fact give her as
good service as is enjoyed by the
most favored Eastside town.

HAS QUIT THE NORTH.
And Will Now Stay in the States
After Many Years-PercivaI
Nash.

Percival Nash, one OF the old
graduates and a member of the
pioneer football team at OAC, was
in town yesterday for a few hours.
Ever since the discovery of gold
there, he has been in Alaska. He
went with the first rush to Dawson
and has been ope ;ating in the froz-
en- north ever since. Of late he
has been trapping and trading with
the Esquimaux andfreighting with
dog teams. In the trading busi-
ness he has exchanged supplies for
furs, business that kept him
much of the time far removed from
the frontier civilization of the Daw-
son country. At times he spent
months in the frozen fastnesses
without the sight of the face of a
human being. 1t was on such an
occasion that he Academia lily shot
himself and would have lost his
life but for his dog. The wound
was iu the leg and of such char
acter that the wounded man was
scarcely more than able to move.
1t YVES only with the greatest diff
Guilty that he managed to keep his
fire going and prepare food enough
to keep himself alive. After two
weeks of terrible hardship his
dog attracted the attention of a man
who happened to be passing
through the lonely country, and
help was at hand. The hardships
endured by Mr.. Nash in being
transported to Dawson along with
the details Of the incident formed
an interesting story in the TIMES
several months after it happened.
Mr.. Nash is now completely re-
covered from the injury, but the
terrible hours he passed through
are days that he will never forget.
He has quit the North and will not
return there. He left yesterday
for Portland. and after couple OF
days will join his brother Desboro,
at San Francisco. The latter is
understood to have amassed con-
siderable wealth.

FRIDAY EVENING, NOV. %, 1906
DIR. WILSON,.

A Portland minister approves the
act of young Murray who shot the
man who ruined his sister. He is
Rev. Clarence True Wilson and
he publicly expresses the hope that
Murray may escape punishment.
DR.. Wilson may not be strictly
orthodox but there's world of sig
nifcance in his attitude. If there
were more Wilson's there would be
fewer ruined girls. There IS a
propaganda in every country de-
voted to that enterprise. 1t has
representatives on every street cor
ner who resort to every vile to
capture dupe. There are Stan
ford Whites in every strata of life
and in every land. Temptations
are spread before innocent girls that
would shock the world if it knew
of them. There are arts resorted
to that would bring the blush to the
cheek of the devil. Men, young
and old, some who ought to be pre-
pairing for a coffin pursue, and aft
erward boast of their exploits.
While their helpless victims go in
to ostracism and suffer the torments
OF the damned, the men hob mob
in society and escape all penalty.
For purposes of punishment by
law, tits an unreachable condition
because so many men look upon it
as a matter of course. Itcannot be
remedied by law because penalties
even, if adequate, could not be COM
mensurately enforced. 1t is the
rottenest of all the rotten phases OF
society, as the Thaw case has
abundantly shown. 1t is all this
that brings out the DR.. Wilson's. It
at least compels admiration for his
ringing words. Though we hesi-
tate to advise resort to the six
shooter, how else can brothers de-
fend wronged sisters. Who would

THEN AND NOW.
Episode Of the Days of Ninety Four
Blasted Hopes and Busted Bank
Accounts

The old time Corvallisite and
perhaps the new one, will be inter
ested in brief editorial article en-
countered in file of the TINES
yesterday. 1t appeared in the days
when the Job bank assignment, the
Carriage factory assignment and
many other bankruptcies were
pending in the local courts. At one
time no less than II such assign
ments were carried on the dockets
at the court house. What makes
the article especially diverting. is
that present activities and hustle
are in strong contrast with the mel
ancholly picture presented in sthe
article. The article appeared Nov.
ember 90, 1894, and ran thus:
"God speed the assiguees of the
various Corvallis concerns that went
to the wall last year. For more
than year these shadows have
hung over the business horizon, a
reminder of blasted hopes and
busted bank accounts. The public
is tired of the familiar words,
assignments, assignees and credit
ors' and longs for the time when
the courts and the newspapers will
be burdened with them no more.
All hope that it may be long time
before another Corvallis concern
gasps for breath, turns pale and
drops by the wayside.''

of this beautiful Indian word should
not be put on the syllable 'ag,' but
on the syllable tar'-the penult-the one
before the last. Niagara means 'hark
to the thunder Its accent should fall
on the penult because the Indians them
selves accent it there, because in prac-
tically all our Indian names of places
the penult is the accented syllable.
Think of the Indian names you know.
Don't you accent nearly all Of them on
the syllable before the last? There are,
for instance, Toronto, Mississippi, ALE
ghany, Appalachicola, Narragansett,
Tuscaloosa, Saratoga, Ticonderoga, Os-
wego, Conshohocken, Wissahickon and
Hochelaga. In all these names the ac-
cent is on the penult Niagara is a
Huron word, and if you can find
Huron you will find that he accents It
as he does Saratoga or Tuscaloosa. I

the habit of accenting it wrong."-Chi.
