THE B'NAI BIRTH AND THE ROU-

By Oscar Leonard.

that such an immigration must take
place on account of the activities of
the anti-Semites who make life more
and more difficult for the Jews in that
country No, they do not make any
riots They do not make "pogroms.'
They have found different ways of
fighting against the Jews. They make
laws which rob the Jew of the right

acts. new laws, new restrictions. From
articles in the leading daily paper in
Roumania from editorials in the two
reliable Jewish Roumanian weeklies,
and from personal letters from friends
in that country | learn that things are
becoming worse than in Russia. The
laws are made not against Jews, as
the Roumanians say. They are made
against aliens Jews having no po-
litical rights in Roumania are consid-
cred aliens Birth and military SER
vice count for naught if one happens
to be a Jew.
The laws interfering with the we'll

many at the present moment. But
they are not half as harsh as those
that are being prepared by members
of the present administration and that
will probably be enacted during the
present sessions. The laws will keep
employers from employing Jewish
workingmen and laborers. They will
prohibit Jews from practicing medi-

There seems to be a general demand

But instead of furnishing the readers
of such magazines with types of real

James Oppenheim, whose Doctor Rast
stories describe the Jews well, and Err

for true pictures of Jewish life. The

Will Be Signed Up and
Money Placed.

Lovers Of the lighting game will be
able to witness good contest in John
Mikas hall, 107 One Hundred and Fif-
ty-ffth street this evening. The prin-
cipaIs will be Tim ONeil and George
Goodeiel and there will be good pre-
Iiminary between Billy Sullivan. the
coolest fighter who ever put the mits
on in West Hammond and Kid muir
ply.
The lighting of Mika's hall will be
improved. and it is expected that the
fighters will be much more readily seen
as a result. Probably the most i'm
portant think that will be done this
evening will be the signing of the ar
ticles of agreement between Jimmy
Clabby and Dick Fitzpatrick, by which
they will agree to fight in this city
in a few weeks.
The report is that there will be a
large crowd Of Chicago fight fans out
here tonight and if Clabby signs up
with Fitzpatrick it will mean that the
best fight that has ever been pulled
off in this part of the country will be
in prospect.

Miss Eichhorn will read paper con-
tanning her own impressions and ex-
periences which she gained while on a
trip through Switzerland a year ago
last summer. An admirer of this pic
turesque country with its rugged peo-
pie she naturally gained more by her
trip than the casual observer and it Is
this admiration for the country and its
people that induced her to select it
from the number that she had visited
on that trip.
Miss Eichhorn will give a charm to
study-of Switzerland, that the book stu
dent misses, and her audience this even
ing ought to be a large one ana will
surely be appreciative.
After the reading of the paper there
will be time for the discussions and

An effort will be made to place the
blame where it belongs. The conduc-
tor maintains that he ran to the
crossing as usual, but the fact that
he was standing on the rear platform
of the car at the time the accident
happened has not yet been explained.
The Wabash Railroad company al

cars standing on side-tracks in the vi

and as these obstruct the view. es-

carried to the dry grass along the
right-of-way of the railroad. Here a
fire was started and the wind carried
it from the point of ignition to the

There were six passengers in the car
at the time. but they were all in the

not even knocked off the track. al
though the freight train was going at
fair rate of speed.
The extent of the injury to the car

DIVORCE
WANTEOBY
MRS. MOORE
Gibson Lady Brings Serious
Charges Against Her Hus-
band and Seeks Separa-
tion From Him in Lake
Superior Court.

For seven years Alice Moore and
Earl, her husband, have had matrimon-
IaI difficulties. 1t was one of those
unfortunate st. Joe marriages, which
resulted in many heart aches and much
sorrow until today LeGrand L. Meyer,
Mrs. MOore's attorney, filed a suit for
divorce in the Lake superior court.
Mrs. Moore evidently regrets the
necessity of taking the step, for she
staets in her complaint that she would
live with her Husband now if she
could have some positive assurance
that he would behave himself and aban-
don his immoral companions.
The Moore couple have lived in Glib
son for some time, where the defendant
worked as a steam filter. Previous
to their residence in the Hammond
suburb Mrs. Moore says they resided
in Elkhart, Ind.
Mr.. and Mrs. Moore were married
Aug IL, 1901. On Oct. %, 1908, Mrs.
Moore alleges that her husband sepa-
rated from her and deserted her. The
Gibson couple have one child. who is
~ years old
Had Evil Companions.
The trouble in the Moore family
started some time ago when Mr.. Moore
/ alleges her husband began associating
with dissolute women and spent the
nights drinking and carousing with
them Mrs Moore says when she re-
preached and upbraided her husband
for his conduct he told her to get out
as he thought more of such women
| than he did of her
! Mrs. Moore says that Mr.. Moore de-
clared he would live with her only un-
| til the little girl was old enough tc
be taken away from her mother and
then he would take the child and kick
her out.
According to the complaint Moore
allowed himself at elast one or tive
good "souses" a week. In fact, he be-
came intoxicated so frequently and his
conduct was so reprehensible that she
finally went to her sisters house ir
| Elkhart and kept house for her.
Pleaded with Her.
He came to Elkhart and pleaded
| with her to return to her own home
and she agreed TO do so. but as soor
as they were settled in their owr
home again she says he began his as
sociation with evil companions, which
eventually resulted in the impairment
| of his health.
Finally he left his job and went tc
Danville. From there he sent her mon
| ey once in a while, while she support
ed herself and her child by taking il
roomers and doing other work.
Mrs. Moore asks that she be given al
absolute divorce. and that her maider
name be restored. She also asks tha
