Advocate Of Colonization Of Pales-
tine, But Give No Material Aid
Speaker Roasts Them For 1t.

New York, May 4.-Joseph Cowen
of London was the principal speaker
at the meeting of the federal conven-
ton Of American Zionists at Clinton
hall last night. He was cheered for
fully five minutes when he was in
troduced and repeatedly applauded as
he painted a glowing picture of q
Jewish world power" In Palestine.
When Mr.. Cowan called upon his
hearers for contributions in dollars
and cents there was an ominous sill.
ence. Then he said:
II notice that the cheering has
ceased. Z notice that your enthusiasm
has died down, but I tell you we have
got to have material aid. Your con
gress voted for a Jewish fund and
called on every Zionist to contribute
not less than five francs to it. Yet
up to the 9th of last month, only 81, 000
had been contributed by the Zionists
in the United States and $500 Of that
came from st. Louis. Now, you must
do better than that. You must meet
this demand. Let us show our enthu'
siasm by material Deeds"
MI. Cowan spoke against the marri
age Of Jews with persons Of other re
ligions. He said the Zionist move
ment was greater than a religious
one, for it was a national movement.
woman suffrage will never divide
u.s., he said, "for we will give them
suffrage" This was greeted with ap'
plause from the women. The speaker
was introduced as a second Moses.

New York Stocks.
New York, May "A period Of
weakness during the morning in the
stock market while the London mar
,ket was In operation was attributed to
sympathy with that market, and the
fact that q recovery set in soon after
business had ceased in London was
pointed out as confirmation Of this
view. The recovery, however, did not
hold. The disturbance in London was
due to the bad influence of news OF
tribal disturbances among the Afghans
on the Indian frontier.

LARGE PARTIES LEAVING THE
EAST FOR MONTANA.
ALL INTEND TO STAY
More Than 20 Families Of Austrlanls,
or 14s People, Leave Cleveland,
Ohio, Bound for BiIIInss-Adapted
to Beet Cultivation.

Hundreds of foreigners are leaving
their homes in the east and coming to
this section of the state to work in
the beet fields this year. Already
there are scores Of the best workers
who make their homes in the valley,
but heretofore the greater part OF
them have returned to the east after
working here during the beet growing
and harvesting season. Indications are
that hundreds Of those bound for Mon
tana this year intend making their
homes here and are bringing all Of
their household effects with them.
That not only the farming states
along the Mississippi river are fur
nishing these beet workers, but states
as far east as the Pennsylvania state
line as well, is shown in the following
press dispatch, with q. Cleveland date
line, in an eastern paper,
Party Of Austrians.
"The sugar industry is coaxing for
eigners from Cleveland. An exodus
began yesterday in two directions.
Over 40 families of Austrians, 146
people, left for Billings, Mont. Thirty.
five families, 1856 people, left for vari.
GUS points in western Michigan.
Both parties were made up princi-
pally Of Austrians. They believe they
are specially adapted to beat cultiva-
tion and sugar making and take to it
more readily because Of some train
ing in their fatherland.
"The first party got up here was
that for the northwest. 1t came
about through the efforts Of G. A.
Browne, passenger agent Of the Bur-
lington railroad in this city. Last
December Browne sent two Of these
people to Big Horn basin, Montana,
on h~omeseekers' tickets. He gave
them all encouragement possible and
framed everything up for the lei to
meet immigration agents Of the Bur.
lington. They did. They met sugar
beet contractors and wrote back to
their Cleveland friends all about 1t.
All Have Contracts.
"It is no venture these foreign PEG.
pie are making. They already have
contracts in their pockets under
which they are paid $40 an acre for
developing this sugar beet land. EN-
ployment will be necessary in order to
make profit at this figure, but 1t can
be done, the immigrants figure. They
are taking entire families to help pile
up the fortunes. Z
"The Burlington party left Cleve.
land over the Nickel Plate and re-
quired two freight cars, besides three
passenger coaches. They took their
household effects and babe this part
of the country goodby for good. The
trip cost the Montana bound folks
about $4,000 and they were not long
getting the money together.
"The party Is the largest out Of
Cleveland into far western country
for a long time"

Chicago Grain and Provisions.
Chicago, May 4.-The wheat market
opened strong on an advance Of one
pence at Liverpool and a decrease Of
4,379,000 bushels in the amount on
passage. Later those influences were
aided BY decrease Of 5,547,O0O bush
els in the visible supply IN America
and the smallness Of primary receipts,
which were $685. 900 bushels. against
1,02l,000 bushels on the corresponds

and then advanced to 81. The close

since 1902. The advance was caused
by the operations of a prominent
