We ARE BEHIND IN
PURE FOOD LAWS
Law Against AduIteration is
Growing in Favor
BILL is NOW PENDING
Massachusetts, Passed a Pure Food
Law In 1888 In Response to Pop
ular Demand of Several
Years Standing.
BILL is NOW PENDING

Washington, May 2.-(Special)-In pure
food legislation the United States is very
much behind the highly civilized for
from the people who neither make nor
sell manufactured foods for a federal law
which Will protect the consumer from the
manufacturer who adulterates or mis-
brands his product. For this reason great
interest centers in the pure food bill
which passed the Senate with but few
votes recorded against it, and which is
now pending in the House
A strong fight for and against the pure
food bill has been waged. Its advocates
have, in exaggerated terms, denounced
manufacturers as prisoners, and its enc
mics have insisted that If the bill should
pass we could have no more Smithfield
hams and that our green peas would
be a duh gray.
As a matter of fact the most unscrupu-
lous manufacturers are not wilfull poison
ers, but in their effort to make good
showing with a bad product they take
risks with adulterants which are some
what dangerous to consumers, and against
which consumers have the right to be
protected. On the other hand if the bill
should pass the law will not be one
which will prevent any honest producer
of prepared food from doing business
upon reasonable margin of profit and if
green peas are gray or tomato catsup is
brown instead of crimson, it will be be-
cause the quality of the goods is inn

building will be a five-story affair, much
handsomer and larger than the one that
was destroyed by fire this morning.
The old building was three stories in

a distance of 100 feet, and back on Fifth

court that at one time during the night a

minutes to half an hour. Lawyer Innes,

had been no breach of the peace and no

that the music was part Of the Jewish

New Orleans.

Last Monday afternoon was the occa-
sion of a pleasant incident, one Of the
many that have occurred in New Or
leans, which exhibit that good fellowship
which exists here among all the people.
Recently Rev. DR.. Beverly Warner, rec
tor of Trinity Episcopal church, moved
into his new home in Chestnut street,
and the idea suggested itself to number
of our prominent citizens Of the Jewish
faith to place therein souvenir Of ap-
probation Of services rendered this city
by DR.. Warner in the late fever epidemic
as well as a reminder Of the esteem in
which they hold the distinguished Epis-
copalian clergyman. The souvenir in
question is handsome dining room set,
made to order, carved out Of red mahog-
any, and magnificent rug. Rabbi l. L.

gentlemen composing the committee, pro-
ceeded to DR.. Warmers s residence, where

DR.. Stephen S. Wise, rabbi of Temple
Beth Israel, read an open letter to his
congregation last Friday night addressed
to Temple Emanuel Of New York, the
largest Jewish congregation in the
United States, on the freedom of the pull
pit. His letter was in part:
"When majority Of the trustees OF
Emanuel came to me for the purpose Of
ascertaining whether call to occupy it's
pulpit would be accepted, and if ac
cepted, upon what terms, l made but one
stipulation: If l accept a call to Eman-
uel s pulpit l do so with the understand
ing that am to be free and that my pull
pit is not to be muzzled My stipulation
was met by the statement of the commit
tee: 'The pulpit shall always be under
the control Of the board of trustees.
GLOW can a man be vital and indepen-
dent and helpful if he be tethered and
muzzed?" asks DR.. Wise. GA free pull
pit will sometimes stumble into error. A
pulpit that is not free can never power
fully plead for truth and Righteousness. -
Louis Marshall, secretary Of Temple
Emanu-El said that DR.. S. Wise had
received no call directly or indirectly to
accept the pulpit and denied emphati-
cally that there had been any official
communication whatever with DR.. Wise
on the subject. Mr.. M. Moses, vice presi-

Indianapolis Jews who have families
in Russia who are unable to pay their
passage to this country will be aided
by their fellow-townsmen. Already a
fund has been raised for the purpose OF
paying the passage of wives and chill
dren from Russia to Indianapolis The
fund at the time only amounts to few
hundred dollars, but it is expected to
increase it to several thousand dollars.
This money will have no connection with
that donated for the relief of the suffer
ing in Russia The plan is to loan money
to poor but worthy Jews to be used for
paying passages and other expenses Incl
dent to the long journey from the do
mains of the ear to America. Notes will
be taken and the benefciaries will be ex
pected to repay the loans as they find
themselves able to do. Rabbi Messing is
much interested in the plan and is Civ
ing it all the support in his power

The thirteenth annual report of the
Educational Alliance East Broadway

public. The report explains that the IT,
tie of the institution, Educational ALI
ance," is in a measure misleading, and
that "Americanizing Immigrants" are
two words which come nearest to express
ing the reason for the society's existence.
The work in the various departments
shows encouraging results. The Legal
Aid Bureau reports an increase in the
efficiency Of the service. In the fiscal
year ended June 80, 1905, it transacted
business for 9,8O4 applicants, large in
crease over former years. The report OF
the president Of the Women Auxiliary
states that the demand for instruction in
the fine arts, music and drawing has per-
ceptibly lessened, and the committee re-
commends that they be discontinued with
the exception of an orchestral class,
which appears to be fourishing Among
those who have subscribed to the endow-
ment fund are Jacob H. Schiff, $25, 900;
$4,000; Isidor Straus, $4,000; William

PEOPLE EAT BEEF
MONTGOMERY NOT AGTTATED AT
 REGENT DISCLOSURES.
Bulk of Fresh Meats Sold in This City Is Home-Raised and Inspect
 ed At Cfty's
 Plant.

As far as the meat inspection depart ment of Montgomery knows, the beef agitation at Washington has caused no great decrease in the consumption of beef in Montgomery.
 With the entire nation aroused over the startling revelations made a few days ago in Washington. the people of Montgomery are apparently without in- terest.
 According to the statement of a Montgomery meat and milk inspector yesterday, the consumption of meat in Montgomery at the present time is about the same as 1t was last year at this time
 There is no appreciahle decrease in the consumption of meats in our city" he said. There may be a slight de- cline but it is so small as to be almost unnoticeable. There are good reasons why Montgomery is holding its own and the greatest of them is that very little Western meat is sold here at this season of the year. A great deal of 1t reaches here but 1t goes through to other places. Now is the time that country beef Is being slaughtered and 1t is sold almost exclusively in Mont gomery at this season of the year. Western beef being unable to compete with 1t. Tn the fall and winter months, when the farmers of this section are otherwise busily engaged there are large quantities of western beef sold So, you may easily see that Montgom- erians know they are getting pure meats at this season.
 Last winter more western beef was sold in Montgomery than ever before in its history"
 The people of Montgomery will be greatly relieved to know that the over whelming per cent of the meat they buy Is clean and home raised

 Distinction.

The closing exercises of the St. Pe- ters School for Boys took place yes- terday morning at 10 o'clock at the school building on Adams Street.
 There was no formal program. and no Investigations had been issued but there was a large attendance of the parents and friends of the pupils. The walls of the class room in which the exercises were given were covered with specimens of the drawing and writing of the pypils.
 A special course taken by the pupils of St. Peters School this year was the Palmer Business Method of Muscular Movement of writing, and the most interesting: feature of the closing ex- ercises was the awarding of one grad uating diploma and of three certificates of proficiency in this department, the diploma and the certificates coming di- rectly from MT. Palmer. The diploma was the first ever received In Mont gomery, and Charles Brady. Jr., was the young man to whom 1t was given.
 Certificates of proficiency were pre- sented to Thomas McDonough, Carroll Dove and Henry Kelly.
