London. Oct IA few weeks ago 1t
was announced in Paris that there was
a social conspiracy to storm New York
society's citadel of conventions by intro
ducing the daring South American
Dances which those members OF the
400 were then learning from a French
dancing master. More facts came to
light this week when this dancing mas
ter came to London, preparatory TO sail
ing for America to secure more devotees
of his art.
He is known in the Cafe de Paris on
the Boulevard del Opera as Maurice,
where society, particularly American So
ciety, has fawned upon him for several
years as the highest exponent Of the
terpsichorean art, especially as clad in
the Apache costume of velveteen.
Paris and New York are likely to be
shocked to learn that this same Maurice
is none Other than one of that vast and
Brooklyn boys" As Judge Coyne said
the other day:
Real Name Is Cassidy.
L think his real name is Cassidy. but
like all Brooklyn boys. he knows his
job and you'd never guess it
Mrs. Vanderbilt's party hired a private
room in the Cafe de Paris also private
'rchC "a, to have Maurice teach them
the Tango dance, 'TArgentina" and
other wild gyrations of Montmartre So
c.ety therefore will be still more shock
ed to learn Maurice's own history OF
these dances which he intends to give
in New York.
Sure" SAYS he we did them fifteen
years ago at dance halls in New York.
Now society has got the craze, so We are
q bit IN stage.

TO his native heath, probably none OF

his old Brooklyn friends will recognize
him, for he has cultivated wild mus
tachios, and has the appearance of a
regular rAbbaye, or lie Rat Morte per-
former.
He declared he has forgotten all such
! tame dances as given by the Larry
Mulligan or Tom Sharkey associations,
or their brilliant annual endeavor, the
French ball at the Grand Central Palace.
Maurice will be accompanied by a fe-
male partner, who is as adept as him
self. He declares he is so pleased by the
progress made by his American pupils
that he has decided that his art should
no longer be hidden away in the cafe
chantants of New York's side streets
and that at last Broadway shall witness
the real thing.
Edwards Tired of Peers.
George Edwards, of the Gaiety Thea
ter, tells his friends he is getting tired
of trying TO find situations for the peer
age in his chorus. The latest recruit

the present Earl of Seafield. Her rela-
tives are curious, especially the Dowager
Countess Seafield, who owns Balmaccan

Sidney. who is small and fair. but not
a beauty, does not care in the least

to have a good time.

and the stage grows closer every year.

IMMIGRANT AND SOCIETY,".

The Hebrew Sheltering and Immi-
grant Aid Society of New York City
has recently added new department
to it's already numerous bureaus. This
is the Statistical Department This
bureau takes record of each and every
Jewish immigrant arriving at the port
Of New York; and the following de-
tails are being marked: Name, age,
sex, social state, nativity, occupation,
education, last permanent residence,
final destination, amount of money
brought, and name of address Of the
immigrants relative who received
him. If the immigrant is a minor
or girl the statistician takes note
whether or not the person came &C
companied, and if by parents or
others.
A circular letter is then sent out to
all immigrants whose point of destina-
tion is New York City or Brooklyn.
In this letter they are given a hearty
welcome, and asked to call at the Of
flee whenever they are in need of ad-
vice or help. This bureau was opened
on the 18th of May, and put under
the charge of DR.. ]. H. Rubin. The
results already achieved are very en-
couraging. A number of people have
been helped to find employment, or
locate their relatives. Others have
been advised as to the choice of a
school or a profession. The number
of letters of thanks which this bureau
has received from the immigrants
shows what longfelt want this bu-
reau satisfies.
Those immigrants whose point of
destination is other than New York
City or Brooklyn are not neglected
either. Their records of landing are
being sent out to the Jewish charity
or educational institutions of the city
to which they are destined; and in
case no Jewish society exists, the at
tention of the Jewish community of
the neighboring town is being called to
the newcomers, who, as matter of
fact always receive hearty welcome
an. are being looked after in their
first trial days.

cations of Jews who have called on
the President in regard to the matter
was that by the abrogation of that
treaty Russia's commerce with the
United States might be made to suf-
fer in such a way as to lead that coun-
try to agree to a new treaty in which
the case Of the Jews would be fully
and satisfactory covered. But the
President and Secretary Knox have
felt that in view of the internal sit
uation in Russia it would be impossi-
BILE to force that government to re-
move these restrictions by any such
method as the revocation of the eX-
listing treaty.
1t is understood here that the mod
ification of attitude now agreed to by
Russia is not all that is desired by
this government, but it is a step in
the desired direction, and it is felt
at the State Department that it is a
decided gain. The view is expressed
that within comparatively short
time now the restrictions may be
fully removed.

FIGHTS HIS WAY OUT OF
COLLEGE,

Ada, Ohio, May 24.-Isadore Roth.
of McKeesport, Pa senior in the
Ohio Northern University, is one of
nine students expelled from the college
for fighting Roth's fighting was
due to the fact that he had been nag
ged and pestered by other students
because he was a Jew, and he would
not pass the insults levelled at him
without standing up for his rights.
At band concert given several
nights ago, Roth was insulted by a
gang of hoodlum students, who derided
him for his Jewish ancestry. The
young man got his fighting blood up,
and in the presence of all the stu
dents declared that he would fight
every one of his fellow students who
had participated in the insults. The
gang was satisfied and first pitted
against him Chester Rowe of Newark.
In the fight that followed Roth pun
ished Rowe so severely that his friends
precipitated themselves upon Roth,
kicking him in the rear and prevent
ing him from defending himself.
Luckily for Roth, one of the students
would not stand for this unfairness
and took his part, which resulted in
a general scrimmage, and in the de-
feat of the hoodlum students and the
victory of Roth.
The faculty learned of the affair
and expelled the nine fighters, and
the following day 500 students went
out on strike. Later four of them
were reinstated, but Roth was not
among them.

RUSSIA TO ADMIT AMERICAN
JEWS,

Especial to the New York Times.)
Washington, May 26-President
Taft's policy of seeking recognition on
the treaty rights of American Jews in
Russia through persistent diplomatic
pressure instead of through the abro-
cation of the treaty of commerce and
navigation of 1882 has at last borne
fruit and this government has re-
ceived information to the effect that
hereafter Jews with American pass
ports travelling abroad on business
will be admitted to Russia when their
passports have been properly vised
by the Russian Embassy or Consul
ates in the United States, and that
Russian diplomatic and consular Off
Gals in this country will now wise
passports
1t has long been the attitude of the
Russian government that properly
vised passports would be recognized,
but the trouble has been that Jews
could not get the Russian Embassy or
any Russian Consulate to act. The
change that has occurred in the sit
uation consists in the new order to
the diplomatic and consular officials.
The change in Russias attitude
comes in response to the constant
effort of this government to obtain
full recognition by Russia of her obi
CATION under the rights of residence
and travel" stipulations of the old
treaty. Through the State Depart
ment President Taft has lost no OPP
portunity to press upon st. Peters
burg the view that that treaty COW
cred the case of the Jews as we'll as
other American citizens.
Russia has always refused to per-
nit Jews to travel there, even when
equipped with passports. Her con-
tention has been that under the treaty
of 1882 all foreigners coming to Rus
STA were subject to the operation OF
the local laws, and that inasmuch as
the local laws forbade the travel OF
Jews, the fact that they came as
American citizens with passports did
not alter their situation. AS mat
ter of fact, the Russian government
has on several occasions in the last
few years expressed that opinion that
the time would come when these re
strctions could be removed. But II
has been represented to this govern
ment that it required time to re
move the opposition manifested by
public sentiment in Russia.
The Russian government now has
the Douma to deal with, and it has
been represented to this government
that it was impossible to obtain any
action by the Douma favorable tc
the admission of Jews to the empire
1t has been suggested that there was
slight but growing change in senti
ment on the question in Russian, ant
that with the election of subsequent
Doumas that change would probably
be such as to make the removal O
the restrictions possible.
1t was in view of these representa-
lions that President Taft and Secre
tary Knox have been unwilling t.
adopt the course urged upon then
by various committees of American
Jews, who have sought to have this
government renounce the treaty o
1892. The position taken by the dele

New York, May ga circular let
ter issued by the Sanatorium for He
brew Children, which saves the lives
of thousands every year, was sent to
Joseph S. Frank, 81 Wall street, UNI
der the impression that he was a
Jew, and might contribute to its fnuds.
Instead Of contribution, Mr.
Hezekiah Kohn, treasurer of the Sana
forum, received the following:
81 fail to see why l am continuously
annoyed by communications of inter
est to Hebrews only. True, my name
is Joseph S. Frank but as you are
doubtless we'll aware, there is moth
ing Jewish about the name Frank it
being good old German name, though
one which the Jews appropriated in
order to deceive and masquerade
under false colors, just as so many
of your race are now in this city APP
propriating American names.
Nov, I want you to understand
that your race is one with which
wish to have nothing to do, and l take
this occasion Of expressing myself
with some vigor, on account of the
number Of circulars, similar to yours,
which l have received. In other
words, if you are good Jew, / pre-
sumo you are proud of it; on my part,
being pretty good Christian, permit
me to say that / am proud of not
being a Jew.
Joseph S. Frank"
This provoked reply from Mr.. Max
imilian Toch, president of the Sana-
forum, who wrote to Mr.. Frank in
part as follows:
There are a great many things
that you don't know, and | forgive
you for your prejudice which is due
entirely to your ignorance. The name
Frank is derived from your Saint
Francis, whose Hebrew name was
Ephraim, which is the Hebrew trans
lation of Frank, and although you
have taken the name from the Jews,
you are perfectly welcome to it, al
though it is a misnomer
The good work in which my CO.
directors and l are engaged, that OF
saving the lives and preparing for the
future bodily health of innocent little
children, should earn your commenda-
ton and your support.
81 want to tell you of little oc-
currence which l trust you will read
carefully and will show you the diff
ference between men of your type
and men of ours. Three years ago
a Christian Home for Children, along
side of ours at Rockaway Park, met
with serious accident. A fire broke
out and seven or eight poor innocent
little children were burned to death,
and panic followed. We took the
children of your faith and we housed
them and fed them, and cared for them
until the Christian institution was in
such shape to take them back. We
did not advertise this from the house
tops, but we want you to know that
we are situated between two Christian
institutions down there, and in the
words of that good Jew whom you
think you followed, "the little chill
dren suffered to come unto us"
