LOST TRIBES OF ISRAEL.
Descendants of the Jews Reported
Found in Abyssinia.

(From the New York American)
What are believed TO be lineal de-
scendants of the Jews that were
driven from Jerusalem $500 years
ago have been discovered in Abys-
sinia by DR.. Jacob Faitlovitch. The
doctor arrived in America last week
for the purpose Of raising a fund
whereby these Falashas, as they are
called, can be educated and brought
into modern ways of living.
Six hundred years before Christ,
when the first temple in Jerusalem
was destroyed and there was an exc
dus of Jews, one part went to Babylon
and the other crossed over into ETH
opia. The latter, the descendants of
whom DR.. ~Faitlovitch believes he has
found, were lost track of as the ages
passed and were believed to have all
died out.
In 1903 and 1905, the doctor, ex-
plOring in Abyssinia, came across
these people. His Investigations led
him to believe he q found what he
was looking for. In 1908 and 1909
convinced he had found the remnants
of the ancient tribe which crossed into
Ethiopia (Abyssinia).
The facial characteristics he found
to be strongly Hebraic, and the Gus
toms unmistakable. Orthodox Jewish
rites were strictly adhered to. There
| was no cooking on the Sabbath, no
work, and no lighting Of fires Of any
kind. In the crude temples (some-
times only matched tents) We're erect
| ed affairs of the orthodox sort. Some
fifty Of these places of worship, a few
Of stone or baked clay, were found
intact.
DR.. FaitIovitch learned hat under
the reign of Emperors Theodore and
Johannes the Falashas were badly
treated, and sometimes persecured
because of their religious beliefs. The
present emperor, Menelik. is liberal
but to offset future rulers who may
be unfriendly, the doctor is now aim
ing.
Baron Edward Rothschi1d was in
terested in this work of restoring thu
race in Abyssinia, and financed DR.
Faitlovitch's first trip. according tt
the doctor. Other English and Italian
Jews have taken interest Of late, anC
the doctor hopes to raise at least {
s1,O0O,0G fund to begin his work
with.

No Decision Announced.

The executive committee of the

Members Of the committee did not
care to discuss for publication any
matters pertaining to the proposed

terday had for consideration the Ques-
ton of sites.
Among the aveGable sites are said
to be the one on the west side Of the
capitol grounds adjoining the Capital
Hose place and Rainey Library-the
State owns a portion of this proposed
location. Another is the Grimes prop
erty, where the Insurance Department
is now located. Still another is the
| grounds now occupied by the ASricul-
tural building. In fact, about every
available inch of ground facing the
Capitol Square is being investigated
before a decision is reached. The
selection is made by the entire COM
