pei the attention Of every Jew through
out the world Out Of grim necessity
cries the appeal for organization not
every one is prepared to grapple with
Jewish world problems. Time and need
demand safe leadership. Therefore, the
appeal for representative committee
who shall, with authority, speak and act
in the name Of the Jews on this land.
"Have we not now an American Jew
ish committee? 1t is self-created, self
appointed; it has no right to exist. The
Jewish spirit is essentially democratic.
AS Americans and as Jews we shall not
accept the false doctrine that selection
is better than election" Absolutism to
some students of government may seem
a better form Of government than re-
public, but we want no despotism, how
ever benevolent. We believe in democ-
racy. With Webster, we still believe in
the peoples government, made for the
people, made by the people and answer
able to the people, We need more great
men with the great Lincoln's faith in
the plain people.
GA committee self-created, and, for
the time being, self-perpetuatlng, IS un-
American. We are advised to wait to
discover what it will do, hoping that it
will do little. The time to challenge the
authority of the committee is in the be-
ginning at this first opportunity. The
time is now, when no emergency exists
do challenge the authority of the Amer
lean Jewish committee. Now is the time
to establish principle. 1t is confessed
it was not and is not right in principle.
If it be not right in principle, then it is
wrong in practice.
cit matters little who leads, we are
told, none cares for glory. There be
those who were not always thus minded.
Others have had upon them the duty
of leadership and have led in the past,
and have we forgotten that these very
ones now called to self-created leader
ship would not follow?
Has Been No Union.
"'It exists, let it lead, is the false
plea. False especially from the lips OF
those who for years have stood aloof. Ii
in the past twenty-five years there has
been no real union, the cause is clear to
those who know the history of Amerl-
can Israel.
It matters much who leads. The
right to leadership belongs to those who
in years past have led and served in the
great Jewish movements Of America-a
right which the officials Of our national
Jewish organizations are not empowered
either to surrender or to compromise

the paper be printed in the annual re-
port, and that the writer be given
rising vote Of thanks, as is customary.
1t was finally decided to extend a
rising vote Of thanks, as an apprecla-
ton of the intentions Of the author, as
well as admiration for the splendid
manner in which his views were pre-
sented, but not as an Endorsement OF his
opinions expressed therein.
Wolf On immigration.
In the morning, at the initial busi-
ness session, the point Of heated discus
sion was resolution proposed by Hon.
Simon Wolf, Of Washington, setting
forth the views Of the union on the ques
ton of the restriction Of immigration,
of the bills passed and pending in the
national house on this question.
The resolution provided that these
views be wired to Speaker Cannon, of
the House. 1t was finally decided to
refer it to a special committee of five.
The committee reported in the afternoon,
and the report was adopted. The fol-
lowing telegram was sent to the speaker
by the union:
Telegram to Cannon.
1.-The Union OF American Hebrew
Congregations, in biennial convention
assembled, has by a unanimous vote
directed us to convey to you and to the
House Of Representatives our hearty and
sincere thanks for the patriotic Amer
lean action taken at the first session of
the present Congress, in the amend
ments to the Senate immigration bill,
and we earnestly urge the retention of
all the House amendments if said bill
should be reported back from the con-
ference committee. We particularly call
attention to the clause, recognizing the
traditional policy Of our glorious re-
public, which opens wide our gates to
the politically, racially and religiously
oppressed of all lands.
"In supporting these House amend
ments, we do so not only as Jews in
faith but as American citizens, having
at heart in common with all our fellow
citizens, the welfare and prosperity Of
our country"
The speech Of DR.. Cries at the even
ing session precipitated by far, the
warmest and most exciting debate of
the session thus far, but throughout it
all none of the members allowed their
earnestness and enthusiasm to embittcr
them against the equally warm adj
herents of the opposing side.

BROOKLYN BRIEFS.

A chicken supper will be given
 tomorrow evening at the Third
 church.
 Napoleon Bernier, with his sis l ter. Miss Ida Bernier, left yester-
 uay for an extended trip through Canada.
 -lnvitations are out for the Hal loWeen party which will be given at
 the rooms of the Brooklyn Athletic club a week from Friday night.
 Anna Jaberani, a young girl re. siding on Greene street, fell off her veranda yesterday afternoon and sustained fracture of the right leg. She with few companions had been playing tag and while climbing on the railing of the veranda lost her balance and fell to the ground. The fracture was reduced by Dr J. I. Gancher.
 The attendance at the night school sessions at the Duggan school promises to exceed expectations. On Monday evening seventy-five young men and women were on hand to be. come members of the classes, while last night the number reached IF. Because of lack of room some had to be turned away last night. As there are only two rooms opened and the seating capacity of each room is only forty-nine, it can easily be seen that the two rooms were overcrowded last night. A number of chairs and benches were pressed into service and in this way many who would otherwise have left were accommodated. Mir Devine is as- sisted by Miss Ennis and Miss Mar garet Fitzpatrick. Principal Devine when asked to-day if another room would be opened tomorrow even- ing (there is no school on Wednes- day nigh), replied that as yet it had not been decided. Of course it looks as though it would be neces- sary to open another room, judging from the attendance of last evening, but it may hegin to drop off soon. It is impossible to make much head way with two rooms crowded as they were last night and if the attend. snce continues another room will in all probability be opened. The gram mar grade subjects are taught but no high school matter is tOuched upon.

ENJOYABLE CONCERT
Large Audience Pleasantly Fin.
 teriaiued al Music Hall.

The musical season was formally
 opened in this city last evening when
 concert was given at the Bucking-
 ham Music hall by the Euterpean
 quartette of this city. The stellar
 attraction of the evening was the ap-
 pearance of David Bispham, one of
 the greatest baritone singers of this
 country. The event was a fitting
 start for successful season, as a large audience was present and thor
 oughly enjoyed the program ar
 ranged by Isaac Beecher Clark. AS
 to the impression made by MT
 Bispham, it suffices to say that. he
 was in fine voice, consequently 1t is
 only natural that his efforts should
 have proved highly entertaining to
 the representative audience that
 heard him. He sang several classic
 songs, some ballads and other selec-
 tions of a lighter nature. Although the ballads were at times delightful, and some perhaps enjoyed them bet ter than any other selections during the evening, it is almost safe to say that MT Bispham was more pleasing in his other numbers. Undoubtedly 1t was because his audience was more familiar with the selections that they so enjoyed his Danny Deever," "The Mad Dog" and "The Suffering Lovers." Another num- Der which caught the ear of the au- dience was Bruhn's Lady Moon," and the ease with which the baritone sent forth the notes and the softness of his voice made most favorable impression. Bispham after years of study knows the art of how to pro- duce everything that his voice is ca pable of and without exerting him. self apparently he reaches the effect wished for. Harold o. Smith, who the baritone, is also de- of praise. The Euterpean quartette vied with the singer for the honors of the evening. As stated before, Waterbury has in this four singers of whom she may feel proud. On their first ap- pearance in the Buckingham the wo- men created big surprise by their well nigh remarkable singing and l, since then the music lovers have been eager to hear them. Last even- ing Mrs Calvert, Mrs Gretter, Mrs May and Mrs Clark sang in a most manner. In harmony | they have improved much since last | heard and they sing together in a manner that reflects credit upon each | individual One of their numbers in which the audience was much in- .erested was Springs Invitation," by H. H. Romer of this ,ity.
 Ludwig H. Hoffman was the "cel- ist soloist of the evening and at lines showed that he has much abil- ty. Inc accompaniment of Hans 'aro was, as usual, of the best.

WILL BRING TEST CASE.

Brought before the New Haven po- lice court, on Saturday, with twelve others in a second roundup of re- publicans who violated the corrupt practices act by failing to file a re- port of their election expenses, At torney Prentice w. Chase declared his intention to fight the case to the su. preme court if necessary, to test it's constitutionality. "The law at pres ent impresses me as absurd in its conception and ridiculous in it's re- suits" he stated, when his name was called. And ask for a continuance to prepare for making my case test" Judge Tyner gave him con- tinuance until Nov. 2, and MT Chase's fight will be awaited with interest. All of the others who appeared were excused upon explanations.

LIQUOR MEMS FEES
Commissioners Notified Them of
 Increase in RateS.
The liquor dealers were given a jolt to-day when they appeared

The liquor dealers were given a jolt today when they appeared
 to be sworn regarding their applications for a renewal of their licenses. Hitherto the fees for ad- vertising and filing an application and having it recorded in the town clerk 8 office, amounted to about $6.90, where as each dealer will be taxed $10.00 this year. This is owing to an increase ill the advertising rates, voted by the state editorial association some time ago. Hitherto the rate was $3, but the newspaper men voted to double it, making it $6. Prosecuting Agent Hayes charged $1 more, making his charge $4, while the town clerks fee of ninety cents, remained the same, it being regulated by law.
 The new law which prohibits prop erty owner from signing more than one license application, will not affect the liquor business in Waterbury, for up to this morning there was the same number of applications on file as there were year ago. In other places the number of saloons will be reduced some on account of this law, but in Waterbury, while the liquor dealers did have some trouble in getting sign CTS there were citizen property own- CTS an more than enough, to go around.

THE POLICE COURT.
Dog Warden Trask Had Cases
 Brought up To-day.

The dog warden began to reap an- other harvest yesterday and in con- sequence some dog owners were in court to-day for not having their canines licensed. One of them was Michael Moynihan and another was Patrick Cunningham. Both cases were continued in order to effect a settlement.
 Alcide Montavan was committed to jail for thirty days for intoxication and will also have to work out an old fine of $12.50, which he has been owing for some time.
 Charles Hennessey, jr, charged with hunting on the property of Will liam J. Lease on the Plank road was fined the minimum, $1 and costs. His defense was that he did not know it was Leases property he was on and he would not have gone on it had he known it belonged to Lease.

Nobody has any right in the world
to accuse either city or county Of
flcials Of laxity In duty until such
time as they, have proved themselves
inefficient. II the law is being broken
In other directions It is outside Of the
knowledge of the officials and before
any accusation OF duplicity can be
brought the Times ought at least to
give the officials an opportunity to
investigate by filing specific CON-

II all this surreptious vice Is exist

Times to place full information In

In this way some little cooperation

RETURNS FROM MINING.

As was to be expected, a number
of mining companies throughout the
country have cut their regular divi-
dends or discontinued them entirely
for the time being as the result Of
lower prices for many minerals.
Many mines have closed temporarily
and almost all are running with
reduced forces. The money market
stringency aggravated the situation,
but better times are now In sight.
A careful compilation Of ia mines
and metallurgical works In the coun-
try shows that they have paid divi-
dends of $S1,601,426 for IL months
this year, making grand total ~

WHATS THE ANSWER?

The enforcement Of the Sunday
Rest Law ito the very furtherest ex-
treme" appears to be worrying that
champion of the law and order
league, the Times.
It Is not 30 very long ago that the
same paper "grilled" and roasted"
and scored" both the city and coun-
ty administration for alleged laxity
In this direction. even going SO far
as to Introduce the conditions Of az
fairs in Kootenai county for the pur-
pose OF throwing gratuitous mud at
the county oficials. The batteries of
the local press have been ared in
discriminatory into the ranks OF the
local officers on more than one &C.
casien on just such matters as this
Now there has been sudden
change Of front when it is discovered
that the law really covers just a lit
tie more ground than the illustrious
Tufts intended. After constantly de-
enforcement of all law, the
Times now calmly informs the people
Of the city that they are to blame
Tor all this and requests them not to
complain.
Nobody but the Times ever did
