RABBI HIRSCH TALKS
ABOUT INTERMARRIAGE
Prefers Joining of Jew and
Gentle to Wedding of Re-
formed and Orthodox

CHICAGO, Nov. 23.-A week ago. when
Rabbi Emil. G. Hirsch unexpectedly
launched forth or a dissertation on in
termarriage between Jews and nom
Jews, the bolt he shot from q clear
sky caught a congregation unprepared
for the happening.
Today a crowd of young women of
all nationalities packed the pews and
galleries OF Sinai temple. prepared and
eager TO hear further the opinions of
the rabbi on the intermarriage OF races.
DR.. Hirsch said several startling
things. one moment inveighing bitterly
against the orthodox Jewish form of
religion, then declaring that the mar
riage Of a Jew TO a Gentle was prefer
able to the marriage of a reformed Jew
to an orthodox Jew. and adding as an
afterthought that he was not urging
intermarriage. but merely attempting
in some degree to remove the blight
that several classes had put on it.
Early in his sermon Dir. Hirsch at
tackled the SO called nationalist Jew,
commonly known as the Zionist. THE
American Jew is not a nationalist" he
declared.

JAPAN lMPRESSES
YANKEE VISITORS
Coast Chamber of Commerce Del
egates Surprised and Pleased
at Brown Mems Enterprise
Commissioners Welcomed and
Entertained Everywhere by
MikadO's Subjects

The first authentic -sport OF the re-
commission to Japan. which repre-
sented the Pacific coast chambers OF
commerce. was received bv the local
chamber yesterday. That the business
men of the coast received an ovation
there is no.doubt. IN every city visited
thousands turned out to greet them.
The limited time that the party was
in Japan prevented them from inspect
ing as much of the country as they
hoped to. Considerable time was taken
up with entertainments. The party
found that many things in Japan were
crude. The Japanese pointed them out
to the visitors and asked for sugges-
tions that would lead TO improvements.
The report states that the commerce.
manufacturing and education Of the
mikado's realm are on the upward trend.
The people are awake and are fast
building up their country. The COM
merce has had an unparalleled growth
Their manufacturing plants, several Of
which were inspected. We're found to
be as modern as any in the world.
The possibility OF immense power
plants, the power to be developed BY
the party and many plans for large
plants were inspected. The banking
system of the little brown men is de-
clared TO be perfect.
We were impressed" the report
reads, with the idea that Japan has
great future. The people OF the United
States ought to be proud Of the friends
which they have in the far east. The
cooperation of Japan and America is
essential to the uplifting OF Asia. Our
visit to Japan, while important can
be made doubly so if at no distant date
a similar visit is paid to the United
States by body OF representative men
Of that country
Before leaving the empire the follow
ing resolution. signed by the entire
membership OF the commission. was
presented 10 the FIVE chambers OF COM
merce, through whom the invitation TO
visit Japan was received:
The honorary commercial commissioners repre-
senting the chambers OF commerce OF the Pacific
coast OF the United States OF America appreciet-
ing the sentiments which actuated the chambers
OF commerce OF Japan In extending an invitation
TO Us TO visit Japan, and realizing that we have
met with a reception in this empire from the
highest official TO the humbIest person which has
touched us so keenly that We are without words
10 express the sentiments within Us. do resDecf-
fully request the high officers OF state who have
received us. the commercial bodies which have
IN instructed us. the clubs which have entertained
US. ana the ladies' and gentlemen who have
opened their homes for our pleasure 20 accept
resolution passed at meeting OF cur commission
November 4. 1905 follows
That the friendship aud good will OF the peo-
pie or the empire OF Japan toward the citizens OF
the United States OF America is unquestioRed.
Ihat the trade relations between the two
countries can be and ought 20 be strengthened
That plan should be adopted by which the

When the Eflers piano stores present
the busy scene OF the past few days
it is always certain that there are rare
opportunities for piano buyers.
A week ago we announced our Pros
perity Sale At first only comparative
~ few attended. but each day has seen
larger attendance until last Satur-
day. when we sold IS pianos. the buy
ers OF which were enumerated in sun
days papers. Yesterday the results
were practically as big. and we antici-
pate even larger crowds during the
week to come.
Scarcely one of the persons who
bought pianos from US during the past
few days has failed to express aston
ishment that such high grade pianos
as ours could be sold at such low
prices There can be no question about
what we are doing. for practically
every agency we now control has with
in recent years been handled by other
houses and was given to US on account
of our ability TO handle II more salts
factorily to its makers. Careful price
comparisons are significant.
The Pease, the Lester. the Hobart NJ
Cable the Smith & Barnes. the Marshall
& Wendell. the Schumann. the Kimball.
the Sohmer. the Hazeiton and the
Decker, every one OF these pianos have
been sold in other stores in San Fran
cisco. and the extremely low prices we
have now established show conclusively
what can be accomplished by selling
instruments In large numbers.
Many people believe that a $500
plano is one for which the usual dealer
asks that price. We can show pianos
that Within a year and a half have
been sold by other houses at $3.50. and
they are now quoted by US at $317.

Mex kannay, that he would name Deasy
to the vacant Judgeship at the expiration
or Cabaniss' term, there were some
angry politicians around town.
James D. Phelan, Gavin McNab.
Charley Fay. Tom Hickey and Super
visor Giannini had all taken turns in
conveying to the mayor their sense of
fitzpatrick's fitness for the position,
and 1t was not until his honor's inten-
ton of appointing Deasy was made
pubic that they realized how futile
had been their efforts.
Deasy's appointment is regarded as a
personal triumph for Harry McKannay,
the mayors secretary. Deasy and nc
hannay were associated in the practice
or law before the latter went to the
mayors Office. and it was known that
Whatever influence he commando
would be employed in Deasy's behalf.
That Phelan, AfcNab, Fay, Hickey
and Giannini should have failed in their
united efforts to move the mayor
against McKannay's recommended ton
made many politicians whistle with
amazement last night.
LEAVES UNPAID DEBT
incidentally, the appointment of
Deasy instead OF Fitzpatrick leaves the
democratic organization with an unpaid
When the leaders of the democratic
organizations sat down with the leaders
of the good government league during
the last campaign to agree upon a judi
ciai ticket which both parties could
support, Tim Fitzpatrick was a candi-
date for the short term nomination.
He was strong candidate for he had
been promised union labor indorse-
ment and his position in the Olympic
club augured we'll for his success.
When the claims OF Judge Cabaniss
to the nomination were put forward
Fitzpatrick agreed to step aside and to
assist in securing the union labor in
dorsement for Cabaniss provided
Phelan, McNaio and the others would
promise to use their influence with the
mayor to have him appointed TO the
vacancy which would follow Cabaniss
election.
The promise was made. Fitzpatrick
helped Cabaniss to the union labor in
dorsement and Cabaniss was elected by
the biggest plurality in this city.
MAYOR OPPOSED n'NAB
When Phelan, McNab and the others
attempted to convince the mayor that
Fitzpatrick was the logical successor
to Cabaniss, they met with sphinxlike
silence. Whenever Mayor Taylor let
fall any hint of his attitude, it indi-
Gated that he was opposed to Fitz-
patrick because McNab wanted him.
Mayor Taylor does not approve Of
the democratic boss, and the knowledge
Of this feeling caused McNab to take
only a cautious part in the boosting Of
Fitzpatrick's candidacy
Political intrigue for the position
stopped in midcareer yesterday when
the mayors intention of appointing
DeRsy was announced
"The mayor has been so bounded in
this matter" said McKannay, that he
has decided to announce that Deasy
Will get the place. The appointment
will not be made, however, until Judge
Cabaniss retires from the bench

SEARCH ARCHIVES
IN PANAMA CASE
EXAMINATION SHOWS NO STOCK.
HOLDERS EXCEPT THOSE CON-
TANNED IN MINUTES.

Washington, Dec. 17.--President
Roosevelt yesterday sent to congre IS
a letter of The secretary of war trans
hitting a memorandum prepared by
Judge Charlton, law officer of the bu-
reau of insular affairs, and Rio lard
R. Rogers, general counsel Of the
Isthmian canal commission, bearing
further upon the charges that Ameri-
cans were interested in the Panama
canal property at the time of its pur-
chase by the United States. The
memorandum states that at the time
the property was transferred 1t in
cluded the so-called archives and
they are now in the possession of this
goyt rnment.
An examination of these archives
show, however, that neither at the
time of the first examination in May,
1905. nor now. were there among the
records any lists of stockholders in
the old or new company except those
contained in the formal minutes. The
minutes of the last meeting prior 70
the transfer of the property are net
contained in the archives. 1t is be-
lieyed to be impossible, therefore, to
gather from the records in the pos
session of this government the names
of any Americans, If any there may
have been, who profited by the sale
of the property to the United States.

orous than ever in its campaign to
have the Irish language introduced in
to the Irish intermediate and second

Irish persons be appointed 10 these
positions ard that these persons shall
be able to examine students in Irish
as well as in the living languages.

REGISTERS WANT
NEW LAW KILLED
MAKE EFFORTS TO RETURN TO
OLD VITAL STATISTICS
SYSTEM.

Milwaukee, Dec. 17.-Regfsters OF
deeds of more than three-quarters OF
the counties in Wisconsin, met in Mil
'waukee yesterday to take united &C
ton for needed changes in the con.
duct of their offices. Another session
will be held today. Sixty eight of the
registers of deeds in the state have
ignified their approval of a state or.
ganization, but all of these cannot be
here for the meeting.
E. D. Galineau, register of deeds OF
Marinette county, worked out the
plans for a state meeting and ca led
it. He lays that one of the chief OBJ
jects, an object in which the officers
are united, is the repeal of the law re.
curing that vital statistics shall be
kept by the state health commission
in Madison instead of in the archives
of each county. The new proceeding
he says, causes endle trouble now
and will cause great Inconvenience
in the future. The association viii
take up this fight in the next legisla
ture
Another object of the organization
is the -ettlement up'l uniform forms
of documents used in the offices. Al
this time and in the past there has
been wide variance in forms used fol
various purpo es nd 1t is intended tc
make them uniform in all counties Of
the state.
