have the co.religionists of Samuel
Gompers been forced to form unions
of their own? If Mr.. Gompers really
has the welfare of the competent
foreign working man at heart, as he
states, why not exert his great in
fluence against the evident hostility
towards these people? There is GER
tainly no foundation in reason for the
exclusion of Jews from the trades
unions of the United States.
The American Ambassador to Tur-
key, Hon. Oscar S. Straus, while on
a visit to London last fall, was in
terviewed by a representative of the
Jewish Chronicle. One of his state
ments is exceedingly significant. He
was asked: what is the attitude
of the Turkish government to the
Jewish population?" Mr.. Straus re-
Piled: "Tne attitude of the govern
ment towards the Jewish population
seen anywhere evidence of prejudice
or heard of any restriction except in
regard to immigration into Palestine.
Thus, according to Mr. Gompers and
Hon. Straus, prejudice towards the
Jew, here and abroad, must exist only
as Pigment of the Imagination.
There are, of course, other countries
to be heard from. These Jews who
have reached exalted stations in life
should not allow their elevated posi-
ton to blind them to the hardships
and indignities heaped on their less
fortunate Co-religionists at the lower
rung Of the ladder. The antagonism
that can not affect the president of
labor organization or an ambassador
is nevertheless bitter reality In the
lives of those who would be content
and thankful for passive attitude OF
neutrality on the part of the people
in whose midst they are thrown. The
picture of conditions as affecting tht
Jew, is far from being as roseate as
it is paintedasR

BETH ISRAEL LITERARY MEET

ING.
That the Temple Beth Israel Liter
airy Society is gaining every day was
evidenced by the large crowd which
attended the meeting Sunday night at
the temple vestry rooms. The hall was
crowded with those who had gathered
with the expectation of an enjoyable
evening, and their expectations were
more than realized when first on the
program came Miss Perl Colman with
delightful piano solo, most ably rem
dered and heartily enjoyed. Mrs. j.
Ehrenfeldt was next on the program
with an excellently prepared paper on
current topics This paper was thor
oughly enjoyed. Miss Abel Levy was
She was accompanied by Miss Henri
eta Upper Miss Levy's solo was
most heartily enjoyed, and in response
to persistent calls she rendered as an
encore "Three Little Chestnuts." An
intermission of ten minutes for social
intercourse was then declared. After
the meeting was again called to order
the debate for that evening: Resolved,
That unrestricted immigration is ben
eficial to the United States, was called,
with Messrs. Meyer Wagner and Sey-
mour Brandes on the affirmative side
and Messrs. Abe Levy and M Weyman
on the negative. Both sides were SO
ably defended that the judges were un-
able to reach decision as to the win
ner, and consequently the debate was
called a draw. On the whole, the
meeting was great success, and the
next meeting, which takes place the
first Sunday in January, is being Gag
erly anticipated.

1t is not Sufficient that the spiritual
leader of a congregation be just as
good as the people he attempts to in

pieces they will do So He ought not
to give them a chance. He ought to

TIGER ATTACKS
 ANIMAL TRAINER
AUDIENCE IN WILD PANIC AS BIG BRUTE CLAWS AND
 BITES THE MAN.
, Special from United Press.)

St. Petersburg, Feb. 4.-Herndrich- sen, the well known animal trainer, formerly one of the faVorites in the European music halls, is in a local hos pital today badly injured and may die IS the result of an attack by a tiger last night. The trainer is appearing this season as the star of CinicellO Circus and the climax of his act has been to ente~ the arena with wild tiger featured as untamable. Hernd- richsen would fight off the infuriated animal with a steel prong and by fir ing blank cartridges into his face fin ally, when the animal became too dan gerous, slipping through a convenient door to safety. Last night as he start ed to swing the door his foot slipped and he fell. The wild animal was on him in jiffy and before the assistants outside of the cage could come to the rescue the massive animal was claw ing and biting him.
 The audience was thrown into a wild panic Horror stricken women scream ed and fainted and men fought with each other to reach the exits. Finally the big brute was beaten off and the trainer taken out of the cage in an unconscious condition. At the hospi- tai today it is, stated that his condi- tion is very serious.
 While many of the terror stricken spectators are slightly injured none were seriously hurt in the scramble for safety.

New York. Feb. 4.-Effofts of the federal officials to go higher up" in the case of the sugar trust, accused of defrauding the government by the use of tempered scales in the weigh ing of imported sugar. have led to the indictment of Charles R. Heil1e. secretary of the American Sugar Re- fning company, and five other men high in the employ of the company. Counsel for MT. Heike has asked for immunity on the ground that Heike and others of the defendants ap- peared before the grand jury and pro- duced books and documents in one or another of the sugar trust cases. The governments reply was to the effect that the evidence produced had nothing to do with the present case, but was connected with the investiga- tion of the Segal-Kissel loan deal, which resulted in the closing of the plant of the Pennsylvania Sugar Re- fining company, built to compete with the trust.

One of Most Successful Ever Real Bohemian Night Prize Winners.

Last night The D. M. Read Com pany gave the twenty-third annual store dance to all their employees, and this year it happened to be a mas querade. The Farmer man was in vited to be one of three judges to award four handsome prizes present. ed by the company, one each to the lady and gentleman who wore the most becoming and attractive cos turnes, and one each to the lady and gentleman with the most comical at tire.
 At S30 the spacious floor of the carpet room was thronged with crowd that reminded one more than anything else of a. congress of nations, or a kirmesS in some foreign coun- try. Chinamen and wild Indians
 mingled with innocent little school
 girls attired in gingham aprons and
 sunbonnets. Geisha girls wandered
 amicably up and down with clowns
 and cowboys. A prominent alderman
 of the city was not present, but his
 double was about with a rosy colored
 wig and a genial smile. A dark fig
 walked appropriately with a ghost in
 white. An awkward Dutch maiden
 with long blond curls could speak no
 English but wore g. conspicuous sign
