SETTLEMENT WORK
THEME OF The DAY
Jewish Women From Coast
Cities Tell OF Beneficial
Results Realized

Reciprocity day for the Pacific coast
was held yesterday afternoon in the
rooms of the California club by the
local Council of Jewish Women, repre-
sentatives of the councils from Seattle,
Portland and Los Angeles being present
for their annual report.
The musical program for the after
noon consisted of several songs by Miss
Amy Seller, accompanied by Mrs. Ben
jamin M. Stitch, but the greater interest
of the day really centered in the read
ing of the papers from the various sec
tions, showing the trend of work in the
Jewish settlements along the coast.
The Jewish immigrants arriving here
are taken in charge by the various
councils in all of the cities in this
settlement work.
At yesterdays meeting Mrs. Myer
Friedman was the presiding officer, Mrs.
Charles Brown represented the Seattle
section, Mrs. l. Sweet the Portland and
Mrs. Bertha Hirsch Baruch the Los
Angeles, while the speech for the local
section was made by Mrs. d. S. Hirsh-
berg.
THE Activities and Ideals of the Los
Angeles Section was the most interest
ing of the papers read, showing, as it
did, the work and it's advantages from
broader and more comprehensive
standpoint and proving conclusively the
good to be derived from the settlement
district when properly conducted.

CONAN DOYLE'S BOOKS
UNDER BAN OF SWISS
Sale of Tales on Sherlock
Holmes Order Forbidden

A new distinction has been conferred
upon Sir Conan Doyle in the free and
enlightened republic of Switzerland,
says the Westminster Gazette. The
direction of the first reimbursement of
the Chemins de Fer Federaux has pro-
hibited the sale at the railway book
stalls of all publications of the Sher-
lock Holmes order. Several municipali-
ties have applied similar prohibition
in the case of the kiosques lttteraires.
The reason for the prohibition is the
sensational crime recently committed
in France by two young Swiss who,
having engaged themselves as laborers
on farm, murdered their employer,
his wife and their fellow servants and
endeavored to escape with the small
booty they had obtained.
The, criminals were arrested before
very long and on one of them was
found a diary. Possibly this diary
contained some reference to the writ
only extract we happen to have seen
published was a description of the
diarist's mother, written with affec-
ton, discrimination and distinct lit
erary ability.
But whatever influence sensational
stories may have had on these two
gamins degeneres, as Swiss paper
points out, in the case of Sherlock
Holmes, the celebrated detective
makes all his exploits serve the defense
of innocence and the punishment of the
suggest that the books will now have
the additional attraction of forbidden
fruit. No doubt the Swiss book sellers.
with their usual keen eye to business,
will lay N fresh stocks to meet the
increased demand.

Another Road Refuses

CLEVELAND. O.. Feb. 24.-Replles
Of southern railways TO wage demands
Of the brotherhood of railroad train
men and the order of railway conduc-
tors were opened today. The refusal
of the roads TO meet the mems terms
was unanimous
This places the southern railroad
situation in practically the same status
as that in the territory north Of the
Chesapeake and Ohio and east of the
Mississippi. 1t is now certain that
any action taken by the men to press
their demands will be simultaneous in
the east and south.
The result of the strike vote on the
Baltimore and Ohio will be known to
President W. B. Lee of the trainmen
and Grand Master Garrettson of the
conductors early next week.
If the decision is to call strike, as
it is expected to be, the executive
councils of the two organizations, which
will meet here later. are expected to
submit TO the men on all railroad lines
the question of a general strike.
