EUREKA SOCIETY
ELECTS OFFICERS
Jewish Benevolent Organiza-
ton in Healthy Condition
at Years Close
President Reports New Building
Under Construction and
Donations Received

At the annual meeting of the Eureka
benevolent society. held yesterday morn
ing. Henry Sinsheimer was elected pres
ident; S. w. Heller. vice president; Al

secretary, and Simon Newman, Herman
Levy Simon Anspacher, Isaac Strass-

ance with the authorization given to
the president by the trustees he instf-
tuted canvass among the wealthier
members of the society TO secure suffi-
cient funds for the re-erection of the
society building, which had been de-
stroyed in the fire of 1906. The appeal
met with a generous response, the sum
of $16.250 having already been raised
and the new building being under con-
struction.
Another matter of more than or
binary Importance was the report of the
president on the progress that has been
made toward the federating of the va
rious charitable Jewish organizations
A number of public meetings were held
and a tentative canvass is now being
made to ascertain how large sum can
be secured before organizing such
federation.
The report of the secretary shows the
income for the year to have been $780,
S56.35, which includes special bequests
from Levi Shilling, from Mrs. Regina
Seligman in memory of her husband,
from the children of Matthias Meyer.

Unique among the Christmas cele-

at 2:3O o'clock a. m. yesterday in a
downtown cafe, when band of print

world enjoyed itself, gathered and pro-
ceeded to celebrate in their own pc
culiar way.
The healths of William Randolph
Hearst and Charles W. Hornick were
proposed and drunk with cheers and
then, TO show that there was no favor
itism in the matter, they drank the
health of the crowned heads of Europe,
Battling Nelson, President Taft and the
memory of Caxton.
The health of Senator Aldrieh was
proposed. but as the punch had run out
it was decided TO put him over until
next year. Speeches were made by
Harry Darr, Jack Adams, Willie

FOREIGN INVESTORS
REAP DIVIDENDS
Heavy Remittances Made to
Europe; Wall Street Is
Optimistic

NEW YORK, Dec. Appropriations
We're in progress last week to meet
heavy obligations incident to the Janu-
ary disbursements. which, in New York.
are estimated to be 1925, 900. O0o.
There were heavy remittances to for
eign markets to meet payments of divi-
dends and interest to holders of Ameri-
until the middle of the week whether
gold shipments to London would not
have to be made.
sharp relapse in exchange rates
occurred after the sailing of the last
steamer which would make deliveries
In London in time for New Years.
Volatile rises occurred in individual
stocks. most from vaguely rumored
| causes. but there was enough dividend
increases to keep up a hopeful spirit
among the stock holders.
The census bureaus cotton ginning
estimate was regarded as confrma
tory of the agricultural department s
view of the cotton crop shortage, and
the rise in cotton to above g cents
pointed to the causes responsible for
the high cost of living and the disad-
vantages this involved.
This question was given added in
| terest by steps taken by railroad en-
ployes to formulate demands for an in
crease in wages early next year. Sen
timent is not free from apprehension
that labor troubles may have to be
reckoned with in reaching settlements.
The disposition in financial circles,
however. is to take a hopeful view of
this question. The same is true of the
subject of legislative and executive
activities in the direction of corpora
tion regulation, which promises to be
brought forward early through special
messages from the president.
