having bribed permanent Juror Rob-

Young allowed Franklin to go on his

No time was fixed at the arraign-

action by congress for the abroga-
ton of the Russian treaty OF 1892
was demanded in the hocse today by
Congressman Sulzer. of New York, as
a result OF Russian action in refus-
ing to honor passports of Jewish
Americans. Sulzer said in part:
For nearly half'a century Russia
has persistently refused to live up
to the treaty and 2 recognize the
passports of American citizens with
out discrimination on account of race
or color. We cannot tolerate this
Injustice. 1t Is foreign to every
thing civilization stands for. This
Is not specifically a Jewish question
1t is a question involving and af-
fecting the rights and privileges OF
all American citizens.
Russia not only refuses to recog-
nize passports issued to Hebrews,
she refuses to recognize passports In
the hands of Baptist missionaries and
Catholic priests. There can be no
arbitration settlement to this elemen-
tial principle to our government The
matter must be settled definitely
once for all A new treaty must be
arranged. And that treaty must be
one wherein Russia will find no loop
hole that will enable her to d'scrlm-
mate against any class OF Ameri-
cans"
