The Jewish outlook., 1907-05-31

No wonder the little there was of
synagogue music during the Middle
Ages was not original, but drawn from
alien sources. The most soulful hymns
of the synagogue were adapted to frlvl-
lous airs Today, even, in orthodox syn
agogues the Chazanim or Percentors do
not scruple to use airs of some popular
opera-boutfe for their songs on Sabbath
and holidays. 1t is only ten years ago
that here in Pueblo on the Day of Atone
ment at a service in the Chamber OF
Commerce building an orthodox Chazan
sang the most important prayer OF the
day according to the then popular mel
ody, "Ta-ra-ra Boom De-ay,' and, of
course the young people Justify re-
sponded to the inspiring refrain and en-
joyed the fun immensely.
But suddenly a new era dawned for
Israel Reform of Judaism was born
in Germany seventy years ago. 1t be-
came the prophet which called down
again from heaven the divine spark of
music, restored it to its honorable place
in synagogue and temple, and brought
back to us the old songs in a new guise.
The great musical genius of band of
gifted men like Sulzer (Vienna) Levan-
dowslSy (Berlin), and other pioneers OF
modern music in the synagogue olsen
gagged the old harps from the once
mourning willows and once more hired
the ancient melodies from their quaver-
ing strings. Higros, the Levite has
been resurrected. No more does Israel
sing the ''song of Zion on strange soil. -
For every land, where justice and
freedom reigns, is our Zion. Through
the long silence of the dark night Of the
Middle Ages is breaking forth the joy
Gus Hallel song, "My Strength My
Song Is God" 1t is better to trust in
God than the great of the earth. God
has sorely tried me, but he hath not
given me over to death. 1 shall not die,
but live and proclaim God s work. The
stone which the builders rejected hath
become the chief cornerstone. This was
Gods doing; it may seem marvellous to
our eyes. We seem to hear the rustic
of the young leaves Of a new spring. the
resurrection foretold thousands Of years
ago by our poets, prophets, singers and
sages. We see slowly dawning that
great day on which mankind awakened
from the fitful sleep Of error and delu-
sion, injustice, oppression, will unite in
the profession Of Israel s creed of hui
manity and righteousness of brotherly
love and justice, when the "tear will be
wiped away from every face :" when

Orthodox Jews object to it's introduction

After the destruction of the temple in
Jerusalem and the downfall Of the jew
ish nation, the sound of music was no
longer heard among the Jews. The Tai
mud relates the following legend:
Higros, the Levite, living at the time
of the decadence of the Jewish nation,
was the last skilled musician, and he re-
fused to teach his art. When he sang
his stirring melodies, touching his mouth
with his thumb and striking the strings
with his fingers, so the story goes, his
priestly mates transported by the magic
power Of his art fell PROSTATE and wept.
Under the Oriental trappings of this
tale is concealed the deep anguish and
sorrow over the decay of old Hebrew
music. When the altar at Jerusalem
was demolished, the beautiful songs Of
Zion sung by the Levitical choirs under
the leadership of the Kora chides were
no longer. Upon the rivers Of Babylon
they sat and wept and hung their harps
on the willows This silence was un-
broken for almost eighteen hundred
years. For how could they sing the
tunes Of Zion on strange soil as the
Psalmist puts it
Higros, the Levite, was the last of
Jewish tone-artists.
The Jews set out on his fatefu wan
derings along an endless thorny path
drenched with blood, watered with
tears lonely, sublime with the stern pa
thos of tragic scenes. They are not
sights to inspire joyous songs. Only la
mentation finds voice an oppressive, sad,

MR.. DE NEDREY DISCIPLINED.
Good Templar Lodge Objects to Anti
Prohibition Speech.

There has been considerable comment
made concerning the action of Persever-
ance Lodge of Good Tempars in suspend
ing Mr.. Samuel De Nedrey from member
ship in that organization. Mr.. De Nedrey
is secretary of the Central Labor Union.
The charge against him is understood to
be that he delivered an address against the
passage of the Weber bill prohibiting the
manufacture and sale of intoxicating
liquors in the District of Columbia.
Mr. De Nedrey states that as a member Of
the legislative committee of the Central
Labor Union he delivered anti-prohi-
bition speech before a meeting called by
the Personal Liberty League at Masonic
Temple. He adds that one of the reasons
that impelled him to make the speech in
question was that the central body had de-
cided by vote to work for the defeat of the
Weber bill, and that in addition he "exer-
cised his prerogative as a free American
citizen
Mr. De Nedrey sent to the lodge of Good
Templars last evening a statement which
he requested should be read before the
members. 1t is addressed to The Officers
and Members Of Perseverance Lodge, No.
2, I. o. G. t." and is in part as follows:
II have received official notice that 1
was expelled from your lodge on the night
of March 8, 1907.
II have been informed that on March 2,
H., 1 was put upon trial after COM
mittee Of investigation had made a report
and submitted its finding and conclusion,
together with such evidence as had been
given 1t. 1 have been told that in a vote
as to whether I should should not be
expelled the ballot stood twenty-six to
twenty-six. Two-thirds not voting for my
expulsion, according to your constitution,
1 was acquitted.
Il have been further Informed that some
time during the following week a meeting
was CALLED and certain members of the
lodge invited to be present. The meeting
the members Of the committee of investi-
cation, and. If I am correctly informed,
such a meeting was actually held and a
line Of conduct was determined upon
wherein the action of the lodge on the
preceding Saturday night was to be de-
clared Illegal, the whole proceeding ex-
plunged from the minutes, and vote taken
at once upon my guilt or innocence, no
debate to be allowed.
This, he states he is informed was done,
and he was expelled. He adds:
ITO that meeting I was not invited to be
present nor my counsel, as he has since
informed me. nor was his presence de-
sired. How a proceeding such as that
could be carries on after the previous
record had been expunged without allow
ing me further hearing or allowing my
counsel. Judge ]. w. Nichol, to speak for
me, am at loss to know"
Mr.. De Nedrey then notifies the lodge
that he accepts, without a feeling of
shame or humiliation the edict of the
lodge and will not exercise his privilege of
appeal. What he did, he said, for which
he was expelled, was conscientiously
done, would be repeated under the same
circumstances, and he is willing to permit
his moral conduct and life to stand in
comparison with that of his accusers.'

COUNSEL OUTLINING PLANS
Request for Admission of Nesbit AT.
fdavit to Be Renewed.
THE DEFENSE MAY NOT OBJECT
Prisoners Confidence Seems to In
crease Daily-Delmas to Call Sew
eral Alienists in Sur-rebuttal.

NEW YORK, March 16.-Attorney Del
phin M. Delmas conferred with his asso-
ciates in the defense of Harry K. Thaw
today, mapping out plans for the sur-rebut-
tai work at the trial, which, when re-
sumed on Monday, will be entering its
ninth week. Applications were made today
to the district attorneys office for several
additional subpoenas for the defense, but
just who they were for could not be
learned.
From the plans laid today. 1t seems that
the better part of next week will be con-
sumed by the defense, and that the case
may not go to the jury until some time
during the week beginning Monday, the
25th instant.
When court convenes on Monday Mr..
Jerome will present the last bit Of evidence
he has for the prosecution. He will renew
his request Of late Friday afternoon that
Justice Fitzgerald admit in evidence the
Photographic and carbon copies of the af-
fidavit Evelyn Nesbit is said to have made
in Abraham Hummel's Office.
Called Competent Evidence by Jerome.
This affidavit, Mr.. jerome contends, Is
competent evidence to contradict the state
ment that Mrs. Thaw was drugged and
betrayed by Stanford White. In 1t the
young woman is said to have sworn that
the stories concerning White were untrue
and that Harry Thaw beat her when she
told him that there was no truth in the
statement that White had betrayed her.
Justice Fitzgerald, having permitted
Hummel and his clerk to testify as to the
| making of the affidavit, evidently intends
to allow Mr.. Jerome to put the papers IN
evidence and read whatever OF the con-
tents he desires to the jury.
Attorney Delmas said yesterday after
noon that the defense probably would offer
no objection to the affidavit going in evil
shape in which this evidence comes, and
apparently will content himself with the
attack he made upon the credibility Of
Hummel witness.
Up to the Jury to Decide.
Mr.. Delmas will PROBABLY have young
Mrs Thaw take the stand and repeat that
she did not know the contents of the paper
that will be produced against her. 1t Will
then be for the jury to decide between the
prisoners wife and the convicted lawyer.
Harry Thaws confidence, instead of di-
minshng with the closing hours of the
states case against him, seems to increase
daily His mother, his wife and the
Countess of Yarmouth, his sister, called
upon him in the Tombs today and reported
that he was in high spirits.
When the matter of the affidavit is set
tied Mr.. Jerome will announce Tat the
people rest their case, and Mr.. Demas
then will take up the work OF sur-reputtal
AS he intends TO call several alienists. and
as District Attorney jerome has committed
himself to extensive cross-eXamination OF
this class of witnesses there is no way TO
tell just how long time the defense VIII
require in putting its last evidence pe1ore
the twelve men who are to decide Thaw's
fate.
