MEAGRE PREPARATION
FOR CITIZENSHIP.

mo people have had a more made
quate preparation, educational, and
economic for American citizenship.
''Out of the four or five million
Jews said a leading st. Petersburg
newspaper in 1898, "only from ten
to fifteen thousand have a stable
means of subsistence" What did
you do in Russia, the East Side Jew
is frequently asked today; a shrug of
the shoulders is the invariable reply"
says Burton j. Hendrick.
His article 1.-THE Great Jewish In
vasion," in the January McClure's, is
startling in it's revelation of facts re-
garding the hordes of Russian Jews
that continue to swarm to Americas
headquarters-New York. Mr., Hen
drick tells how in Russia all manner
of restrictions have been heaped up
on them: "They are kept out of all
the learned professions, the technical
institutions, and the universities
even those which they have founded
themselves-and prevented from
owning or leasing agricultural land
"They are shut up in a few cities
forbidden to live in the country or In
the Russian towns. By the state they
are treated as ~outcasts. They are moi
Russians and never can become such;
in the caste system of Russian society
they are reckoned in the same class
with the Kirghiz of Siberia, the Kal
mucks of Astrakan, and other semi
civilized tribes. Thus, when they
land at Ellis island, they are to
large extent ignorant, unable to reat
or write; personally ~uncleanly; with
out professions or skilled trades; in
evitably with a suspicious hatred o
governmental authority. Their onl.
capital stock is an intellect which hal
not been stunted by centuries Of pri
walton, and an industry that falter
at no task, however poorly paid

Philadelphia Police tSWindIer
After a Ions Most
Colossal MD Taud.

PHILADELPHIA, POI g.. r. g,
Flower, alias G. G.. Dalnky, who has
been a fugitive from New York since
1903, where he is wantedN to answer
charges of grand larceny ANN swindling
credulous Investors cut of Nabout ST.
100000 on alleged bogus mining opera
lions, was arrested in this cit& by De-
tective Sergeant McConvllle d New
York and several local officers.
Flower, who the detectives say, is the
most colossal mine swindler of the age.
was captured in a room in one of the
big Office buildings in the center of tie
city, where it developed lie has been
located for some time. Under the
name of Professor Oxford. the detec-
tlves say, he was seeking to secure
money from investors by representing
that he had n wonderful chemical proc.
ess whereby he could make diamonds
and other precious stones and a patent
brick.
The arrest of Flower ends Il chase by
the detectives and postal authorities
that carried them through Mexico, Cen
trail America, part of South America
and Canada. besides many points in
the United States. Following his OPP
erations in New York, through which.
it is said by the detectives, many So
ciety women lost money, Flower jump
ed bail after Indictment in May, 1903.
He was under a $4,000 bond.
He was traced to the City of Mexi-
co, Central America, Brazil, Montreal,
Passaic and Paterson, n. j., and final
ly to this city.
When the detectives eventually ran
him down they found that he was so
changed in appearance that they could
scarcely recognize him. As Professor
Oxford he was apparently a benevo-
lent old gentleman who wore a long
white beard, and, though the detectives
had photographs Of him, they were
afraid they had made a mistake and
kept him under surveillance for several
days before they were willing to make
the arrest. When he was taken into
custody he denied being the missing
Dr.. Flower, but after being placed in a
cell at the central station admitted his
identity.

PREPARING FOR ELKS.
Electric Illumination 10 be a Fea-
ture at Philadelphia Next July.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 5:-One of
the features of the Elks' convention,
which is to be held in this city during
the week of July Is, will be the cleo
trical Nominations on Broad street,
Immediately north and south of the
city hall.
A special design, somewhat similar
to a court of honor, is now being pre-
pared, and it is estimated that more
than fifty thousand incandescent
lamps will be employed in this artis-
tic creation. In addition to this, there
will be hundreds of electric decora-
tons and arches of various descrip-
tons placed in conspicuous positions
throughout the center of the city.
Hundreds of designers are busily
engaged, both in private and public
capacity, designing and planning
means for identifying the city. 1t is
expected that city councils will take
action on special illuminations for
the city hall, and the color effect on
this magnificent structure promises
to be the most effective that was ever
presented to av isiting host.
