PALESTINELANDS
ZI0NISTS PURCHASE LARGE
TRACTS IN JORDAN
JERUSALEM FAST BECOMING
CITY OF HEBREWS
Constitution of Turkey Induces Many
of the lsraelitish Faith to
Seek Homes in the
Holy Land

JERUSALEM, Feb. 6.-The procla-
nation of the constitution in Turkey
has opened the doors of Palestine to
the incoming of Jews from all parts
of the world. In Jerusalem alone four
fifths of the population 100000 now
belong to the Jewish faith, while at
Jaffa, Tiberias, Safed and Haifa
Mount CARMEL Jews are reckoned by
tens of thousands.
Almost the whole of the extensive
plain of Esdraelon has been bought by
them. Their prosperous colonies spread
from Dan to BeerSheba, and even far
ther south to the outskirts of Egypt.
Thousands are escaping from Persia
to find shelter and protection in the
Holy Land while every ship from
odessa carries hundreds of them.
The Jordan valley, once the property
of ex-Sultan Abdul Hamid. is being
eagerly sought after by Jewish capi-
talists and syndicates. The Zionists,
whose agents are distributed all over
the land. are buying up the rich prop
critics of the Mohammedan effendis,
whose incomes since the revolution
have considerably lessened.
Monopolize Everything
The whole city is essentially a Jew
ish town. Banking, as well as trade
and commerce, is monopolized by
Jews. The government has found 1t
necessary to organize a company of
Jewish gendarmes, Hundreds of thou
sands of dollars are annually sent from
Europe and America to enable the
colonists to build homes, hospitals,
schools and invalid homes. Over one
hundred Jewish schools already exist
in Jerusalem alone. Synagogues are
rising up everywhere.
The value of land has risen fourfold.
The ignorant and poverty stricken
peasants are being ousted from their
homes and villages by the sharp Eu-
ropean Jew settler, whose modern
agricultural implements and methods
have made the land produce harvests
never before dreamed of by the ma
tives. The Anglo-Palestine company,
a Zionist banking and commercial en-
terprise, is pushing the cause of Israel
with splendid determination.
The racial exclusiveness of the
Jews and their clannish proclivities
are arousing the opposition of Otto

regime has in this question one of the
greatest problems that ever faced a
new and patriotic government.

INDEPENDENTS WAGE
FIGHT ON OIL TRUST
Thomas |. Hlsgen Throws Down
Def to Rockefeller Inter-
ests-NeW York Is
Amazed

NEW YORK, Feb. 6-The an
" nounced intention of Thomas l..
~ Hisgen, president of the Indepen-
dent Petroleum Marketers' association
of the United States, foe of the Stand
ard Oil company, to compete for the
wholesale oil and gasoline trade of
Greater New York is notable for its
boldnesS.
New York is the nerve center of the
great Rockefeller corporation. Some
of it's biggest refineries are situated
near this city, it's main offices are
housed in it's own building at rs Broad
way, and many of its leaders have their
residences in and near New York. The
active head of the big corporation is
now John d. Archbold.
The presidency of John d. Rockefeller
is considered merely nominal, as he
visits the company's offices only about
once a year.
Speaking Of the new move, Mr. His
gen said: while our policy may seem
like pure ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, it is really
purely one of self-preservation, the first
law of man. The minute we stand still,
so to speak, Mr.. Rockefeller's cohorts
proceed to hem us in, and only by
branching out into new territory are
we saved from being moved down.
The Standard Oil people declare that
the existence of Mr.. Hisgen and MS
associates as active competitors of the
octopus" is in itself refutaton of the
charge that the Rockefeller company
has monopoly of the oil business.

MARKET CRASH is
HARD TO EXPLAIN
High Prices of 1909 in Measure Held
Responsible for the Violent
Contraction of
Stocks

NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-The violent
contraction in the market status of
stocks last week and the heavy liqui-
dation that caused it proved difficult
to explain. The fact of the stock
market crash gave anxiety over the
general situation and to fears that un-
favorable facts existed, although they
were not disclosed.
The excess of the preceding specula-
ton which had pushed prices to un-
warranted heights in 1909 was assumed
and the measure of that excess was
held responsible for the violence of
last weeks reaction.
The letting out of the speculative in
flation not only has brought a modified
view of the actual conditions that
prompted it, but also a realization of
the lull in the progress of such pros
porous increase as had set in.
With the recognition of the check to
progress in business and industry
comes the question how far the reac-
ton may run. The unsettled specula-
tive sentiment was reflected in the
stock market. Confidence is impaired
in the substantial nature of the i'm
provement that has occurred and its
permanent character.
A potent factor in this view is the
dying down of demand for iron, espe-
cially for the longer deliveries, and the
resultant decline in the price.
The report of cancellation of orders
for equipment by some railroads makes
an impression of distrust over main
tenance of traffic. The raising of cap
ital for extension Of enterprise only
presents difficulties
The public agitation on the high cost
of living also had an unfavorable ef-
feet on the market.
A less abtruse but effective influence
on stocks is the pushing of the move
ment by the banks to clear out of
their collateral for loans such stocks
as are under suspicion of manipulation
by pools.

1900 BLOWS CAUSE
PRISONERS COLLAPSE

SHANGHAI. Feb. 6-The consular body held
meeting some days since and decided to
depute the British, German and American
mixed court assessors to proceed to the Shang-
hal city magistrates yamen and demand to be
allowed to examine prisoner there who was
kidnapped by the magistrates runners in the
foreign settlement on August 22 in connection
with an unmportant land dispute He was
recently condemned TO receive 1000 blows with
a bamboo as punishment for invoking the in
tervention of the municipal authorities, The
relatives of the victim assert that he col
lapsed after the nfiction Of 1900 blows when
he was horribly injured and his thighbones
were exposed.
The senior consul, in the name of his col
leagues, wrote demanding the immediate re-
lease of the prisoner, who was not amenable
to Chinese justice unless for a serious crime
proved to the satisfaction Of the mixed court.
II is noteworthy that, although punishment by
the bamboo was solemnly abolished as barbar-

Finally the assessors saw the magistrate,
who declined to produce the prisoner in the
absence of orders from the taotai. The as
SCISSORS announced their intention not to leave
the yamen without seeing him. After re-
naming for seven hours the assessors saw
the prisoner and verified the brutal treatment
which had been Illegally inflicted The taotai,
evidently impressed by the energy and firm
ness Of the consular body, ordered the pris-
oner to be released security which was

MURDER DONE ON
ROAD NEAR PICO
VIM. MOSS SHOT TO DEATH
NEAR RANCH HOME
BODY FOUND IN HIGHWAY BY
PASSING FARMER
Spree at Roadhouse Has Fatal End
ing - Mystery Still Sur
rounds Facts in
the Case

Lying in a pool of blood in the road
near Old Mission. about three miles
from Pico station, near Whittier, the
body of Walter Moss, 80 years old, a
rancher living at Pico station, was
found early Yesterday morning. A
short distance away was found the
horse and also the cart belonging to
John Taylor.
Moss was the son of early settlers
in Southern California. At one time
he was possessed of considerable
wealth, but as the result of dissipation
and ill-advised investments. his for
tune was swept away. Recently he
had been drinking heavily.
Saturday afternoon he told his wife
that he was going over to what is
known as Old Mission, near the old
Temple homestead. There are several
roadhouses in that neighborhood.
These places are headquarters for a
rough element, according to the officers
who are familiar with the district.
Moss hitched his horse and cart, kissed
his wife goodby and told her he would
return early. That was the last time
she saw him alive.
He went to the roadhouse and be-
gan drinking heavily. He was known
to be quarrelsome when in his cups,
and it is said that he had alterations
with several persons.
He was seen to enter his cart and
drive away shortly after o'clock Sat
urday night. 1t is not known whether
or not he had a companion with him,
and nothing more was seen of him
until a belated rancher stumbled over
the body in the road early yesterday
morning.
THE officers were notified imme-
diately and a search was made for the
horse and cart which at first could
not be located. After further inves-
tigation the horse, drawing the cart
about in an aimless manner, was
| found near the scene of the murder
and the home of the dead man.
| The body of Moss was taken to the

day on the murder mystery, the motive
has not been found. 1t is known tha

TIGER IN FRENCH FOREST
is SLAIN BY JEWELER

PARIS, Feb. 6.-M. Bertier, Paris
jeweler, enjoys the distinction of hav-
ing shot a tiger in d French forest
and thereby ending a three weeks
hunt in which several hundred sports
men participated.
Reports that a tiger was at large in
the forest at. Moulins have been cur
rent for many weeks, and fantastic
stories have been related by terror
stricken villagers, who claimed to have
encountered the animal while walking
through the forest.
The reports were generally discred-
tied, however, until live stock began to
disappear from several farms. Then
shooting parties were organized to
hunt the tiger.
A telegram from Rheims states that
M. Bertier was the lucky person. The
tiger measured about feet in length.
II is supposed to have escaped from

JOY RIDE ENDED
BY THE POLICE
WOMEN ARE STARTLED WHEN
ARREST is MADE
J. E. ADLER ACCUSED OF PASS
ING BOGUS CHECKS
Man in Jail Refuses to Tell Where
He Came From or Where He
Lived While In Los
Angeles

An automobile joy ride was termin-
ated suddenly in South Broadway late
Saturday afternoon when, to the sur
prise and Indignation of three pretty
girls, their escort, who gave the name
of j. E. Adler, was placed under ar
rest by Detectives Jones, Boyd and
Ritch and booked at police headquar-
ters under suspicion.
The girls were dumfounded and at
a loss to account for the interruption
as Adler was taken from the auto.
Adler also. was loud in his Indignation
and termed the arrest an outrage.
Adlers arrest was kept a secret until
last night, that the detectives might
have opportunity to look up his record,
and they assert that the prisoner will
have to face a charge of passing f1cti-
tious checks.
According to the police, Adler, who is
80 years old, we'll dressed and of de-
bonair appearance, arrived in Los An
geles a week ago. Shortly after his
arrival he deposited $25 with the South
ern Trust company. He then visited
numerous jewelry and clothing stores,
and made small purchases, for which
he gave checks. At each place he in
spected goods and remarked that he
was soon to be married and would

The checks ranged in amount from
So to $5 and We're honored by the
Southern Trust company. In the mean
time Adler was creating a furore among
the gentler sex by his fluent talk and
polished manners, and he entertained
lavishly with automobile rides and dim
ner parties.
Wednesday Adler went to the jewell
ry firm of Luckenbach q Co., 141 South
Spring street, and selected $3.50 dia-
mond ring, and rendered a check for
payment. The firm refused to accept
the check until they investigated, al
though Adlers check for a small pur-
chase in the store had been honored a
few days before. With the remark
that "if a gentleman's honor was ques-
toned he would trade elsewhere" Ad-
Ter left. He then visited the wholesale
iewelry firm of Bastheim, Adams &
Abel, 701 Broadway Central building,
and went through the same transac-
tion. This firm also refused. to accept
a check.
At the clothing store of Brauer 6.
Krohn. Fifth an Spring streets, Adler
had better success, purchasing a 500
suit of clothes and his check was ac-
cepted 1t is alleged the check was
valueless.
