Senate Committee Hears
Appeal for Abrogatior

The Senate committee on foreign reIa-
lions today heard the appeal of the Jews
Of this country for the abrogation OF the
treaty of 1892 with Russia, the terms OF
| which. the Jews claim, are being violated
by Russia by. reason of determinations
against members of their race desiring to
enter the realm of the car
Louis Marshall of New York was the
principal speaker. and his argument was
along the same lines as that he made be-
fore the House committee on foreign af-
fairs a few days ago. delegation of
prominent Hebrews were also present
during the hearing.
State Department has not been idle dur
ing the last few days, when the agitation
for the abrogation OF the treaty has
reached its height, I'm endeavoring to
remedy the matter through negotiations
with the government at st. Petersburg.
within the last week, L will state, "
Senator Rayner informed the committee,
1.-THE State Department has made every
effort from day to day to come to some
agreement with Russia this subject.
with no avail Mr. Marshall had spoken
of past efforts of the Secretary of state
to remedy the matter, and Mr.. Rayners
Information was given in response to a
question whether or not the State De-
partment here had abandoned its efforts
Lively Discussion Started.
what is to be gained by the abrogatiOn
of the treaty. was a question PROFOUND
ed to Mr.. Marshall by Senator McCumber
of North Dakota, and it started lively
discussion.
The United States will gain its self
respect, maintain the dignity of its gov
eminent, the dignity of its manhood, the
integrity of American citizenship" Mr..
Marshall replied.
but do we not say to Russia, You
have not given just rights to our citizens
and We will not ask you to give just
rights - persisted Mr.. McCumber.
what other remedy is there but abro-
CATION of the treaty. interrupted SEN
ator Rayner.
''The other remedy is to continue to
truckle, to crawl. to allow the Rus
sian bear to snap on the head OF the
American eagle" Mr.. Marshall an

put in.
mo" Mr.. Marshall replied.
Under the treaty, Senator Culber-
son of Texas explained. Russia claims
the right to a discrimination. If we
abrogate the treaty we cease to be-
come a party to such discrimination
and do away with the opportunity to
discriminate"
1T is either abrogation or war, and
we don't want war" Senator Rayner
added.
Mr. Strauss Opinion.
Oscar Straus. former minister to
Turkey. maintained that the question of
abrogation of the treaty with Russia
was no more a Jewish question than a
Protestant or a Catholic question. In
supporting his contention, he stated
that he had found. when minister to
Turkey, that interior passports were
refused to Christian teachers who de-
sired to go to schools in the interior
of that country and that Turkey adj
vanced, as a reason for refusing pass
ports, the fact that Russia Disseminated
against American citizens and that Tur-
key also had the right.
Judge Mayer SulZberger of Philadel-
phia was also heard by the committee.

NEW CALLS AT WHITE HOUSE
Conference Over Indiana Matters
Engagements of the President
for This Evening.

Col. Michael Dady. one OF the old-,ina
republican leaders OF Brooklyn was AT
the White House today making a protcs,
against President Taft attending the din
ner of the Young Republican Club OF
Brooklyn the night OF December 10. on
the ground that this club has registered
itself in opposition to the reelection az
William Barnes. jr., state chairman 90
New York. and put itself on record as 10
the speakership OF the Legislature and
other fights.
President Taft accepted the invitation
some time ago. He is going TO New
York the night of December IL 10 attend
the dinner OF the Economic Club. After
that he will motor to Brooklyn and spend
a short time at the dinner of the New
England Society of that city. later going
to the Young Republican Club.
Protest Will Have No Effect.
The kick of Col. Dady will have no
effect at the White House, it is said, as
matters now stand.
The President accepted the invitation 10
go 10 the club dinner before he knew
anything of the political afiilia;i lions of its
members. He would not cancel all a.
cepted invitation unless II could be clea.-
~ shown that the club members Mere
seeking to draw him into its fights ana
use his name 10 carry on their propa-
ganda. 1t has been stated that club mem
bers have averred that the visit of the
President was recognition OF their
fight upon Mr.. Barnes but the White
House does not believe this. as no one
had any authority TO say this
The President has not expressed any
opinion inimical to Mr.. Barnes and does
not propose to be drawn into any fight
against him al this time. He proposes to
hold hands off i'm the republican politics
of New York. 1t is not believed at the
White House that the visit of the Presi-
dent will be interpreted as hostile TO Mr.
Barnes or anybody else.
Conference on Indiana Matters.
Harry 5. New. republican national COM
mitteeman for Indiana, was at the White
House today comforting with Secretary
Hiles as to Indiana matters, post offices

person to look out for il since Senator
Beverage went out Of the Senate. Repre-
sentative Crumpacker, the only republican

consulted by the President whenever any
thing important came UP. and the Presi-
dent has listened to leaders of both the
factions there.
Mr.. Lee, who came out against the
President yesterday, was urged by Sena
tor Beveridge for a good federal position.
but the President has not seen fit to give
Mr.. Lee an attachment to a government
pay roll.
Presidents Engagements Tonight
President Taft will tonight at 9:15 go
with Secretary Fisher to the American
Civic Association meeting at the New
willard Hotel. At 10 O'Clock the Presi-

Policemen More Favored.

Firemen are inclined to think them
selves sighted, inasmuch as the police
department has law which takes
complete care of policemen injured in
the line of duty. If a policeman is
shot chasing a burglar he does not
have to worry about getting well in
sixty days. That's what the firemen
want, and Commissioner Johnston is
with them.
For thirty years-Or ever since there
has been a fire department-the men
of the companies have kept a standard
of efficiency which has been commend
ed by the several Commissioners
When fireman falls sick or is hurt
the men of his company have doubled
up and have done his work. That means
that the days off have been less frequent.
and in thirty years there has been no
complaint. But recently men of the
companies where this has been done feel
that they are doubling up to little ad-
vantage. because no one gets the pay

at No. are still doing the work OF W.

who cannot report for duty even now, and

Regret at Committees Action.

Walter f. Brown. chairman of the Ohio

chiefly in party success at the polls Will

primaries under the law OF Ohio. as IL
now stands If the six delegates at large

Rules of the Department.

Briefly. the situation which confronts a
fireman today is this: If he is hurt or
falls sick from exposure in the icy air Of
a winter night while fighting to save an
other mans property he may have thirty
days sick leave. and IL his injuries are
serious enough board of surgeons may
approve a recommendation to give him
thirty days more
Beyond that he gets no pay. no matter
what his injury. and no accounting is
taken of the unselfishness and bravery
displayed against the flames
Under this condition several firemen in
the past year have been badly hurt md
have lost money by it. Their families
nave felt privation and want. and all the
Commissioners have been able to do is to
describe the situation as burning
shame.
Ever since the fire department has been
organized up until a year ago an injured
flreman was taken care of financially in
an unofficial way. A former Commits

firemen was well established used In an

ment winked at any seeming irreeularity,
assuming that equity was a greater mat
ter than technical legality. But it came
about that the officials of the auditor S
office one day had to make choice and
the decision favored the law, but hit the
firemen hard.
Auditor TweedAle asked to have
! the matter of injured and sick firemen
incorporated I'm the appropriation act:
