The Jewish outlook., 1907-03-29

Many a forlorn wanderer from the
far corners of the earth has come to the
hospitable Hebrew Sheltering House for
Immigrants in East Broadway, New
York. to rest. Rarely, however, has one
come further or with so strange and pitt
full a tale as Rosa Kramer, who was
found fainting on the steps Of the house
by Samuel Lamport, the director.
Only twenty years old, a fugitive
since eight days after her marriage
seven months ago, hunted by Cossacks
through the swamps and woods of Little
Russia, now penniless and friendless in
the land of refuge where she is about
to become mother while her husband
is in a Russian fortress for shooting a.
bureaucrat- that in brief is the story
Rosa Kramer has to tell.
Il was graduated,' she said, about
Il year ago from the Normal school at
Ihtomir, the capital of the province of
Violin, Little Russia. This is eight miles
from Eva. my home, a town of 5000,
where 1 have always lived with my
father. lawyer. Naturally l became
IA teacher and thought myself fortunate
at securing d place in the school of my
home town. No one could have been
happier than | when about seven months
ago | was married to Aaron Kramer,
who had been my playfellow from child
hood and was also a teacher in our
school.
''Of course we were both Social
Democrats. We had learned to be at
the Normal school in Zhitomir, especially
when the two campaigns against the
Jewish people were raging, in which
hundreds of old men and children were
killed. My husband was more active
than I. In the Bund he was called
Mischlle, a nickname to conceal his real
identity. But | did what [ could ad-

Jews and Prohibition
Rabbi Alfred G.. Moses.

SO far as the Jewish people are con-
cerned the world over there is no liquor
problem. The reason is not far to seek.
Men are veXed by Il question only when
there is a bad social condition to be
remedied. If the evil does not exist,
then the problem does not exist. The
most familiar signs Of the possible bad
results OF liquor are drunkenness and
the crimes that are frequently committed
in the condition Of intoXication. If to-
day every man, woman and child in the
nation would use alcoholic beverages in
such way that no harm would arise
from their so doing. there would be no
effort to pass laws touching the use and
sale of liquor In other words, if there
were no drunkenness there would be no
anti-liQuOr laws or movement.
Now, among the Jewish people the
world over, drunkenness as an evil is
practically unknown: there have been
and still are Jews addicted to drunken
ness, but they are so few in number thai
they only prove the general rule. In
fact. Jewish statistics the world over re-
veal an almost insignificant extent of the
fact is the records of the United Jewish

show that less than . per cent of those
who apply for relief trace their destitu-
ton to drunkenness. This is certainly
a noteworthy fact, and it speaks volumes
for the sobriety Of the Russian Jew, who
is the chief burden at present on Jewish
charitable Institutions
If drunkenness is practically nil
among the Jews of the world, | am per-
fectlv correct in my opening statement,
and there is no liquor problem among
my co-religiOnists. Yet the Jewish are
far from being prohibitionists. On the
other hand, from time immemorial, al

Providence. Feb. 17.-Harris Feldman.
a survivor of the L2rchmont. had only
words of praise for Capt. George w.

Feldman and his wife were on their
way from 80 Douglass avenue. this city.
where they had been making a visit.
to their home i'm New York They are
both in the Rhode Island hospital at
present. and are doing well. Mr. Field
man said:
81 don't believe that these charges of
co"ardicc against Capt. McVcy are
justified and I will explain my reason
for arriving at this conclusion.
"YCu remember that three Of the
survivors were taken from the raft on
which myself and wife were. while this
16-vear-Old boy. who was the first ia
accuse Capt. McEcy. was one of the oc-
cupants of Il lifeboat. The remainder Of
the survivors We're occupants of the
captains lfeboat.
Now. as | have stated before, those
at the stern of the Larchmont could
not possibly see what was going on at
the boats bow. for clouds of steam en-
veiOped the vessel and the darkness in
addition rendered extended vision AN
absolute impossib;lity. The boy who
charges the captain with coWardice
was in one of the lifeboats at the stern
of the boat and | don't believe that his
oversight was any better than that of
in" rest of US. and accordingly when
ne says he saw the captains boat leave
the LarChmont first. l say that his
statements are unfounded. and cle-
dence should not be given them.
The occupants Of the captains life
boat would not of course state that
their boat was the first to leave the
side of the vessel. II would he con-

was not room for him she jumped OUT

she would die with him.
No attempt was made 10 lower the
boat from the davits. for no one seemed
to krow how. Moreover. the ropes
were frozen. and those in the boat
seemed content 20 wait until the life

her from he Larchmont by loosening
the hooks.
