when elected shall appoint committee
of three to confer with like committee
of the Order Of B mai B rith, for the
purpose of having this joint committee
confer upon measures for the. common
interests of both organizations hereby
respectfully begs leave to report that we
met the committee of the l. O. B. B. at
the Savoy hotel in the city Of New York
on April 19, 1907, our thoroughly har-
monious discussions with same resulting
in strengthening the bonds Of sympathy
and mutual respect existing between
both organizations; furthermore that on
April Goth at the same place we at
tended joint conference with the rep
resentatives of the American Jewish
committee, as arranged by Mr.. Adolf
kraus, the president of the l. O. B. B.
After most courteous and friendly in
terchange Of opinions, lasting several
hours, final adjournment took place,
no understanding with the representa-
tives of the American Jewish committee
having been arrived at. The reasons for
this may be summed up as follows For
more than a generation the Union of
American Hebrew congregations through
it's board of delegates of civil and re-
ligious rights has championed the rights
of native as well as alien Jews, of Jews
in enlightened America as well as in
darkest Russia. and Eastern Europe,
and your committee, knowing how faith
fully and whenever it was possible, sue
cessfully this important work had been
performed by that board which of late
has been considerably enlarged there

may be, but who claim the privilege of
'acting solely upon their own Judgment

gencies likely to arise every day." and
who by their proposed method of Sc
'"ctin" a still larger body (6OO) would
be likely to create friction in what have
hitherto been harmonious councils of
our people.

Convention Of American Zion
lists at Tannersville, N. Y.

The largest number of delegates Of
the Federation of American Zionists
were present at roll call of the meet
ing. Convention was opened by prayer,
after which DR.. Friedewald read his
annual message. He mentioned the many
changes that have taken place in Juda-
ism since a national movement has been
organized. That many sacrifices should
be brought and will be brought, which
will insure future home for our breth-
ren.
The Zionist professors who have re-
signed from the Union Hebrew College
criticised the directors of that insttu-
ton for their partiality shown and in
tolerance in that the professors should
not be permitted to lecture in their
courses at school as they see fit.
The speeches by these professors were
greatly applauded
A committee composed of Messrs Lip
sey, Abel and Fromenson was APP
pointed to settle all questions, between
the Federation and Order Knights of
Zion They have conferred with the
delegate of the order Mr. Leon Zolot-
koff of Chicago, where they presented
many practical plans which will surely
be passed.

memorial day for the death Of Doctor
Theodore He'll, founder of the Zionists
movement. The convention yesterday
appropriately spent the day with
speeches and prayers in recognition Of

Wanted a Continuance

A WESTERN Senator, generally esteemed
"A as one of the ablest lawyers at the
north end of the Capitol, enjoys telling of an
experience of his early days at the bar in
Chicago which showed that he did not then
enjoy the reputation he now holds
Il was retained by an old Irishwoman, u

the beginning of legal proceedings against

lady to meet her on pressing business. When
we met, she rushed up to me, and in an excited
voice exclaimed:
81 want We to git continuance for me by

His Dates We're Confused

A PROMINENT Southern planter, during
"A the troubles in the South, was called be-
fore the United States court for being i'm
plicated in certain outrages committed against
colored people. The United States district
attorney was shrewd man and knew just what
kind of person he had to deal with. The de-
PENDANT, whose name was Jones, went on the
stand and told plausible yarn, and then:
Mr.. Jones'" said the district attorney,
where were you on the night the six negroes
were slain at Unionville?"
WELL suh that night reckon was over
in Pope County buyin' CATTLE"
And then where were you the night the
colored women were whipped in Killville?"
Well, was on the aidge of Georgia sellin'
cattle, subj
Very good. Mr.. Jones; but where were
you the night the two colored men were
hanged at Batesburg?"
That night, sub, was up in the north of
the State visitin' my uncle
Where were you the night Cain killed
Abel?" asked the lawyer quickly.
That night, suh,' said the planter, with a
puzzled expression" WELL let me see-wasn't
that about the year 1901" The lawyer
nodded gravely. "Well, suh that night was
on a fishin' trip on the Brick River"
That will do" said the attorney, and the
court adjourned for dinner.
The defendants son pushed up to his father.
"Say, dad" said he, cit hurts me to say it,
bat you are the biggest jay ever see Hyeh
you Just swore that Cain killed Abel in 1870,
when any common fool knows it was the first
year o the war;"

Could Not Stop His Speech

ONE of the justices of the Supreme Court
was trying his first case before Justice Harlan.
The youthful attorney had evidently conned
his argument till he knew it by heart. Be-
fore he had proceeded ten minutes with his
oratorical effort, the Justice had decided the
case in his favor and had told him so. Despite
this. the young lawyer would not cease. 1t
seemed that he had attained such momentum
that he could not stop.
Finally Justice Harlan leaned forward, and
IN the politest of tones said, "Mr. Blank,
notwithstanding your arguments, the court has
concluded to decide this case in your favor"

Canada Full of Them

A 7 one time suit was brought against the
\ cashier of bank in Western New York
to recover an alleged deposit. This deposit
the bank officials denied ever having received.
Counsel for the defendant made an able ar
jury some idea of his clients high social and
religious standing. as well as of the confidence
entertained by the people for him. The bur-
den of the counsel's argument was that the
defendant was not the kind of man to commit
errors in the handling of other peoples money.
The lawyer for the other side, in addressing
the jury, said, 81 entirely agree, gentlemen
of the jury, with what my learned colleague
has said of the defendant; l concur in every
statement that he has made with reference to
Mr. Blanks good self; but l should like very
fact: Canada is full of just such men,

Court in Carpet Bag DAYS

CENATOR TILLMAN tells of an old Judge
~ who held sway in South Carolina during
the carpet bag regime. This Judges decisions
were sometimes much at variance with estab-
ished precedent; but he promptly silenced
all objection by remarking:
Gentlemen, am a-judging this here case,
not something that happened a hundred
years back; Anybody that don't like it can
say So an I'll fine him for contempt"
1t one day happened that two lawyers were
talking in the hall of the court house when
the Judge passed them. One was just making
a disrespectful allusion to "fool Judge"
and the old fellow overheard it.
You. sir! how dare you to speak in that
manner IN the hearing OF the court?" he de-
manded. 81 fine you fifty dollars for con-
tempt, sir"
81 But. your honor, was not referring to this
honorable court; it was Judge in Delaware
that meant" the man protested.
Don't contradict mel" the old man
shouted, waving his stick. Everybody
knows that when anybody says anything
about fool Judge in this town, he means
me!'

Looked into the Wall

A RATHER peculiar case of absent minded
n ness was that related of Peter Burrowes, an
Irish lawyer. A friend who called on Burrowes
at an early hour one morning found him shaving
with his face held close to an empty wall
What on earth are you assuming that atti-
tude for?" he asked.
ITO look in the glass;" was the reply.
"But there's no glass there" laughed the
acquaintance.
"Bless you! I didn't notice that before"
said Burrowes, and then calling his servant he
asked him what had become of the mirror.
why, SIR" said the man, it was broken
six weeks ago."

Went to Bed for Dinner

A N amusing incident is told of the absent
"A mindedness of the late Justice William G.
Keogh of Ireland. 1t was at bar dinner at his
own house, and he had excused himself from
the guests who had already assembled, to go up
stairs to dress.
Time went by, but he did not reappear. The
company sat patiently for sometime, till at
length, when their appetites were getting the
better of their manners, and they were about
to send messenger in quest of their absent
host, he appeared, and explained with many
apologies that imagining that he was retiring
for the night he had undressed and got into
bed: After an hours sleep he awoke, and it
suddenly dawned on him that his guests were
waiting to dine with him below.

His Last Retort

THE story is told of well known Chicago
criminal lawyer, whose valuable services
were retained last year by the wealthy rela-
western State.
The case was bad one, for the evidence
was overwhelmingly against the accused. De-
spite this fact, the lawyer contrived, by the
known to the profession, to secure the dis
agreement of juries. delays. appeals etc., till
at last the case was brought before the SUI
preme Court of the United States.
One day in an interview between the prisoner
and his counsel, the former asked, "1n case
the Supreme Court should decide against me,
what will be my next mover"
ITO Heaven, l hope" was the candid
response of the lawyer.

Candidate for the Bar.

From the Youths Companion.
A man from Texas adyentured into
Arkansas on a business errand. The
town was strange to him, says writer
in the Washington Post, and he was
unacquainted with the man, a lawyer,
whom he had come to see There was
no carriage at the station when he
arrived, so he asked his way to the
house of Mr. Dash and set out to walk.
The directions he received were so in
definite that he found himself at last
on the edge OF the town without having
come to the house he sought. Then he
met an old colored man and asked the
way again. Mr.. Dash's house, he
learned, lay about a quarter of a mile
down the road.
"The man want to see is a lawyer .
he said to the old negro. rs this Mr..
Dash down the road lawyer"
"He amt no lawyer that ever heard
tell Of" answered the old negro.
You're sure?"
The old negro scratched his head in
deep thought; then CLEAN of remem-
brance lighted his eyes.
Now | thinks of it, boss" he said,
"'pears like do ricollect he ran for
lawyer one time"
