UNIQUE Hebrew Lonu Association

Undue HEBREW LOuu
To the Editor of the Evening Star;
There is in this city an institution
the like of which, as far as l nave
heard. does not exist anywhere else. 1t
is called the Hebrew Free Loan Asso-
citation, and its purpose is to furnish
money, without interest, to anyone who
needs 1t.
No pledge is required, and the only
condition required for the loan is thai
two persons shall youch for the recip-
lent. And the only obligation imposed
upon the latter is that he repay
promptly. in weekly instruments the
sum loaned to him.
There are, l am told, scores of pros
| porous merchants In Newark who owe
their start to this remarkable associa-
ton, which is supported by
donations by the well-to-do Jews mere.
Nor is the beneficence of the associa-
ton confined TO people of the Jewish
race. Any person, of whatever race
color or denomination, may take ad-
vantage of its generosity; and l, as a
member of another denomination, deem
1t a duty of gratitude to TESTIFY to the
wonderful good done In the community
by this wholly disinterested associa-
ton.
1 had Just arrived in this city, and,
except for the few persons who were
my co-workers in an Office, / was a
stranger here. l needed $50 and applied
to a number of money-lenders, but wal
invariably turned away, with the state
ment that q years residence in the
| state and at least half a years employ
ment in one place We're indispensable
prerequisites for q loan. And even if ]
had been able to measure up to these
and other requirements, the interest ]
should have had to pay would haVt
eaten up the lions part Of my salary
for many a/week.
One Of my fellow workers, a Jew, told
me about the Hebrew Free Loan Asso.
citation, and said that If l was not BILE tt
obtain a loan there because of my belong
Ing to a different religious persuasion, M
would secure the loan in his own nams
and give 1t to me. Accompanied b5
this noble-hearted young man. l Wen
to 62 Morton street, the association
office, and applied for the $50 loan. Al
my references, I gave the young MAJ
who accompanied me and a friend o
his. who conducts a cheap but very ex
cellent restaurant nea by.
Abraham Ravitz, the secretary of tn
association, told me to return in tw'
days with my two references. l die
so, and you may imagine how grateful
1 felt when Mr.. Ravitz handed me
check for $50, signed by President J
Okin.
The association was organized in 1870
by the Rev. Rabbi H.. Brodsky. TIL
amount of business it now does can b
judged from the fact that in Novembe
it loaned 1885 to sixty-four persons
In the preceding month there wer
sixty-one loans, a~ggregating 1918
The star month of 1910 was August
when 1856 was loaned to seventy-tw
persons. Next month the associatio
will move to POI West Kinney street.
GRATEFUL.

allowed during certain hours. We have
no law by which this can be done In
our city, but l am in hopes that the
Playground Commission will be given
power to act in this matter by legisla-
ton at the coming session Of the Leg
~islature. In the meantime l think our
chief Of police might make some tenn
porary regulations to safeguard the
boys and girls who will use bod-sleds.
A few streets might be set aside for
them and police detailed to see that all
vehicles keep off during the hours al
lowed for shedding.
I hardly, think 1t is necessary at this
late day to go into any details ex-
planning why this privilege should be
given the young folks. Conditions
have changed since the boys of other
days were free to use the inclined
streets for bob-sledding. The great in
crease in our population and the cor
responding growth of street traffic are
sufficient arguments without going into
the recreation features of the ques-
ton. I think that if the press will
take up the matter and advocate the
reservation Of certain streets for sled
ding the thing can be accomplished.

Not Probe, But Elizabeth Board a Joke
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
The Mayor of Elizabeth has stated
that the school probe, in his opinion. Is
a joke. 1t seems to be q case of Soul
grapes on the Mayors part. The In.
~vestigation in Elizabeth disclosed 6
state Of affairs that any city ought tt
be ashamed of. Hardly one OF this
members knew anything about schoo
affairs, and the president of the board
although he made bribery charges, re
fused to give the James of the mer
who attempted to bride him. Thu
Mayor should first consider whether !
is not the Board of Education In hi
own city that is the joke, instead o
the Investigating committee, befor'
making a statement.

With the end Of next week comes also
the end of the early shopping period.
After next Saturday shoppers who
might just as we'll have made their
purchases earlier will find difficulty in
controlling sensitive consciences as
they force their way through the over
crowded stores.
And, by the way, more vigorous
efforts have been made to arouse the
conscience of the Christmas shopper
this year than have been made for
years.
Banners in big shopping streets, edi-
torial reminders and stirring fiction
have been directed at the undoubtedly
k~ind-hearted but often thoughtless
Christmas shoppers. The result of this
campaign will not be known until after
| Christmas, but observers say it will be
the right one.
How many fin dramatic moments
there might be in the six-day bicycle
race in Madison Square Garden, If
well, let's say, as things stand. how
many there appear to be.
1t must certainly have been worth
hanging around the Garden to e :
that tremendous sprint by which the
accidental team of Rutt and Clarke
made up the two laps which separated
them from the leaders. Within a space
of five hours they spanned the three
lap abyss between them and the oppor-
tunity to win the race.
Six-day fans unconsciously cultivate
a Micawber-like attitude, but with bet
ter results than rewarded Dickens'sdroll
hero. Something usually happens If
they wait long enough, and some OF
the spectacles are almost good enough
to be true.

The action of the Common Council in
voting to petition the Interstate Com
merce Commission that the Pennsyl-
vania railroad be required to answer
to the charge of having established an
unjust, unreasonable and unjustly dis
criminatory and prejudiciaI' rate be-
tween Newark and New York, will be
greeted generally in this city with I'M
feigned pleasure and unmasked en-
thusiasm.
1t is not necessary wen to stop and
inquire how much relief is likely to be
afforded as a result of the petition. h
discrimination appeared so m~onstrously
unjust and was so tiercely resented
hereabouts that anything resembling
action to nullify it affords an outlet for
pent-up feelings.
Perhaps In time, If the action of the
Pennsylvania is set aside by the COM
mission, the use of the tunnels between
the Manhattan terminal and points in
northern Jersey will become general
enough to show a handsome profit.

Patriots of the deepest dye must
have felt that the objection raised in
this country to the extradition of
Porter Charlton was purely a technical
one. No one could hope successfully
to contradict the statement that JUS
tice would lave been defeated il the
state department had refused to grant
the requisition of the Italian govern
ment.
Italy's reading of the extradition
treaty which makes it impossible to
surrender a citizen to the United States
If the death penalty is likely to be in
iicted upon him. and to remain consis-
tent may be readily understood.
The United States could have no such
excuse In this case. Powerless to try
Charlton in this country, the authori-
ties could have nothing to fear when
the self-confessed murderer was re-
turned to Italy, as life Imprisonment
is the worst he could get If he suf-
fered the extreme penalty of the Ital-
ian law.

right in saying that the Newark shop
pers. by the absence OF concerted &C
ton. intend to disregard the appeal?
Several clergymen Of different de-
nominations have asked the members
of their congregations to make their
purchases early Saturday evening. In
all churches the practitioners should be
requested to do the same. BY this
means and a few additional mass-meet-
ings the public should become we'll a c
quainted with the nature Of the APP
peal. Every movement that will heir
to lessen the working hours in these
stores on Saturday should be encour.

The account Of the shooting OF a
burglar as he was in the act of enter
ing a private house In Passaic Will
arouse a savage sort of satisfaction in
h~ouseholders everywhere. II isn't that
the incident appeals to the primevai
craving for the blood of a marauder.
The feeling that a genuine object-les-
son has been given burglars every
where IS uppermost.
This satisfaction is the antithesis of
that feeling Of helpless rage which
every law-abiding citizen feels when
a ma is shot down in defense of his
home by q night prowler who has
found an entrance to the house.
That good old English idea that a
mans home is his castle to the extent
that agents of the law even must be
very careful about forcibly entering II
doubtless forms the basis Of these emo
tions.

There was no opportunity to mis-
understand Fire Chief Ashley when he
testified at the coroner's inquest yes
terday. He said positively, without
qualifying his statements, that the fire.
men were powerless to cope with the
situation when the High street factory
building burned with awful loss of life,
and that there are perhaps a hundred
or more factory buildings in Newark
where, in case Of fire, the firemen
would be unable to render much help
to the workers trapped within.
Apparently this Is about the most i'm
portant consideration in connection
with the. holocaust. The girl victims
of private greed and official careless
ness cannot be brought back to life.
But if other girls are running similar
risks In one hundred other factories of
the city, perhaps 1t might be just as
well to endeayor to overcome the handi-
cap of red-tape for the nonce and do
something about it.. A second disaster
before the ordinary roundabout pro-
vision for its prevention would be
simply unforgivable.

FEARED RING WAS IN GARBAGE
Woman Finds Gem Just as Wagon
Was To Be Searched.

Garbage wagon No. 4-11-44 spent a
malodorous night with its load un-
touched at the garbage dump at the
foot of Twenty-fourth-st., while an
east-side young woman worried about
a 5000 diamond ring.
The young womans who lives on
Fischer-ave.. missed the ring just after
the garbage man had made his
rounds, Wednesday morning. and
after a frantic search decided that It
must have gone into the refuse can.
She called Aldrich Baxter, ID. p. w.
clerk. and friend of the family, and
asked him to trace the wagon. Bax-
ter learned that the wagon was sched-
uled to go TO the dump at p. m. and
fastened out to watch for 1t. II did
not arrive until p. m. The superfn-
tendent ordered that it be run to one
side and watched over night, intend
ing to have every piece OF It's contents
gone over In search Of the ring.
Thursday morning the young wo-
man started to clean out her carpet
sweeper. and found the missing ring
among the dust.

Bryan Won't Agree to
Nomination Of 'Bolter'

LINCOLN, Neb., Aug. 19.-wm. J.
Bryan declines to approve a recent
editorial suggestion by Col Henry
Watterson. OF Louisville, that he
Bryan should consent to the nom.
ination Of ar candidate In 1912 who
bolted In 1896. Bryan serves notice
that he will fight any such plan. In
the Commoner, Bryan says:
1T seems to be assumed upon the
part Of those for whom Mr.. Waiter
son speaks that no man is fit to be a
Democratic president unless he helped
to elect Republican president In the
critical campaign Of IA years ago. II
1t would promote harmony for the six
and half millions to announce that
they will gladly follow one who laid
down his arms and went over to the
enemy. would 1t not also promote har-
mony for those who. left to announce
that they will gladly support someone
who has an unbroken record OF regu-
larity? Generosity should not be one
sided.
"Mr. Bryan Is not at liberty TO con-
slider the matter from purely per-
sonal standpoint. He owes something
to the men who have thrice nomi-
mated him In spite OF the influences
that are now at work trying to emas-
culate our platform and substitute a
reactionary for progressive pro-
gram"

AVIATOR IS REVEALED
AS SOLDIER OF FORTUNE
Young Moissant, Who Flew Across
Enulish Channel, Was Engaged
With Estrada in NICARAGUA

WASHINGTON, Aug. Estate de-
partment officials today recognize IN
John B. Moissant, who made the aero
plane flight from Paris to England. the
daring soldier of fortune, Johnny
Moissant. OF Central America.
Moissant recently had been engag-
ed with Estrada In his effort to over
throw the Madriz regime In Nicara-
qua and explained to Estrada that an
airship could be used to great adj
vantage. Accordingly Estrada sent
Moissant with an unlimited expense
account to negotiate tor the pur-
chase of aerial craft. No news OF
his movements had reached here un-
I'll Il was realized today that the man
who has astounded all Europe Is none
other than the American adventurer.
No hero in Richard Harding Davis
most brilliant stories Of South and
Central American revolutions had
career more exciting than that or
Young Moissant. In his early youth
he tired of the quiet Of his parents
home near Chicago and induced his
three brothers-Alfred, Edward and
George-to accompany him to Central
America, where ever since they have
been engaged In the warfare OF the
various countries.

Beverly Says Taft Was Not
In Anti-Roosevelt Plot

HOPEDALE, Mass. Aug. 10
President Taft spent the night as the
guest of Gov. Draper, OF Massachu'
sets, at his home In this place. The
president motored down from Bev'
erly yesterday afternoon. making the
40 miles or more In little over two
hours. Mr.. Draper invited number
of his relatives and intimate friends
in to meet the president at dinner
last night.
Mr.. Taft was accompanied from
Beverly only by Secretary Norton and
Captain Butt. Today he Is visiting
Menden, where his ancestors lived
and will return by automobile to the
summer capital in the afternoon.
Mr.. Tafts visit here was purely so
cial and made as return courtesy
by the governor. There is absolutely
no political significance attached to 1t
Reports from Oyster Bay purport
ing to indicate that Theodore Roose
Welt believed his defeat at the hands
OF the New York state Republican
committee was the result of an agree
ment between Mr.. Taft and some OF
the "old guard" leaders in the state
were received In Beverly with little
short OF CONSERVATION. As the re
ports were not credited TO any respon
sible person. no attention was OH
cially paid to them.
So far as the statement that there
was an agreement to defeat Col
Roosevelt, to which Mr. Taft was a
party, Is concerned, there Is said to
be absolutely no truth In It. Mr.. Taft
from the very first has endeavored to
obtain harmony In New York state
He urged all the leaders to try to get
together; has been anxious that Col
Roosevelt's wishes should be consult
ed. end even went so far on one occa
sion as to exclaim to a very prominent
New York politician:
For Gods sake, avoid a fight"
1t was also said in Beverly that II
was believed that IL the person who
inspired the statements from oyster
Bay had been in possession of the
facts, the statements never would
have been made.
Rep. Nicholas Longworth, OF Ohio
son-in-law OF Colonel Roosevelt, has
been present at nearly all of the. re
cent conferences which Mr.. Taft has
held at Beverly. He was present
throughout all of the conference with
Vice-President Sherman. Mr.. Long
worth, ii Is believed, knows every
move the president has made. He
will see Colonel Roosevelt at Oyster
Bay Saturday.

POLICE CAPTURE
WALKING ARSENAL
Toledo Youth Found Asleep in Lum-
Der Yard Bristling With Firearms,
But Short On Courage.

Willie Juszczak VOWS he Is only is
years old. but his mustache bellies
him. It's coy piece of facial archi-
lecture, this mustache of William's
Lieut.. Breault looked at Il askance
Friday morning. when the lad insist
ed that he had seen but Is summers.
Young Juszczak has grown aweary
of civilization. That was why he leff
his home at No. AIS Hudson-aye.. To-
ledo. few days ago. turned his nosa
Detroitward and started on a blind
journey. He was not alone His pal
was with him. He was also accom-
panied by two revolvers, one shot
gun and whole arsenal of explosives.
He slept Thursday night under the
silent stars In "a lumber yard near
Brush and Fort-sts., rather unroman-
tic surroundings for a young man
whose ambition In life had been to
strew western landscapes with the
bodies of fractions Indians.
To make matters worse, Williams
slumbers were interrupted no less
than twice The first time, some rude
man kicked him roughly on the ankle.
William says this person was very
brutal
He showed a pistol right into my
nose" said William. Then he said:
Wake up, gol dern you and gimme
somthun' didn't wanta give him
one o. my good revolcers. l had the
shotgun layin' acrost my body fer per-
lection kinda. and so I thought Id
ruther give HIM that. l only CIV him
the barrel and l kept the stock.
Williams generous division OF his
n. ain firearm explains the reason why
he was equipped only with the stock
OF the shotgun when Patrolman
Raumgartner brought him into police
Headquarters later. The ofiicer was
the second person to disturb the boys
slumbers.
He woke nim up and escorted him
10 the central station. He landed
there fairly bristling with firearms,
but his courage had about deserted
hkm He wore the revolvers In belt
that quite surrounded him. In a lit
tie satchel he carried another belt,
an army belt, an empty beer bottle,
four boxes of shells and one box or
cartridges.
The young man Is having a strenu-
ons time explaining how he came by
all the weapons. He says his friend.
who deserted him, bought the wea-
pons in a store on Summitst., IN To
lodo.
Lieut.. Breault is holding William
in police headquarters until he can
communicate with his relatives IN
Toledo. where he probably will be re-
turned. The young fellow appears at
least Is years old.
