NEW YORK, Dec. THE abroga-

sis was urged upon the government at
Washington by resolutions and
speeches at a mess-meeting held in
Carnegie Hall last night. The audience
cheered with great susto whenever the
satisfactory recognition of this coun-

1t was an audience composed largely
of Jews and their friends, There was
no doubt about their feelings in the
matterSand only one of the long list
Of speakers counseled anything but
breaking off the present treaty. lie

Senator 0'Gorman declared himself
ready. to vote for the abrogation of the
treaty with Russia. He said;
eThe time to end this intolerables
condition has arrived. For myself ]
an, prepared to vote for the abroga-
ton of the treaty and to that end !
shall support the resolution now pend
ing in the Senate of the United States.
Governor Wilson pointed out that
this was not a treaty of sentiment,
but of and navigation,
:. After forty years of mere CORE
%spondence,' said the Governor, the
Russian government naturally does not
expect the matter TO be carried beyond
protest to the action. and so continues
to act as it pleases in the matter, in
The confidence that our government
does not seriously mean to include our
Jewish fellow-citizens among those on
whose rights it will insist
Governor Wilson said that from
among the Jews of this country have
Strung men of genius in every walk of
life. but he emphasized he belief that
it was as American citizens and not as
Jews that their cause was being fought.

Governor Judson Harmon, of Ohio,
sent a letter to the meeting regretting
his inability to be present and adding:
we must put public sentiment behind
our official agents. Then we shall Sc
cure from Russia full respect forI
American passports.
President Jacob 6. Schurman, of
Cornell, reviewed the history of the
treaty from its adoption under An

violation of the rights Of our citizens.
Congressman Francis Burton Harri-
son denied that the treaty's ~abrogation

B. Fl. Kroger, at 81, is an honored,
publlc-spirited citizen, I'd one who has
aided in the revolution that finally re
suited in the overthrow of the boss.
The beginning of 1911 saw no shadow
of events to come. Every indication
was that Cox would prosper in his way
for many years to come. Then on Feb
ruary q, a grand jury returned against
him an indictment for perjury in con-
nection with large gifts of public in
terest money which county treasurers
had given the boss.
He was repudiated definitely OF cleo
ton day, November Z; the entire anti
gang ticket was elected.
And two weeks later Cox made a
graceful retirement from the stage of
financial affairs by merging his bank
with another.

CINCINNATI. Dec. 7.-Business and
politics walked hand in hand in the
days of George r. Cox. Cox controlled
Hamilton politics. He became presi-
dent of a bank that grew to be a big
financial factor. 1t was the favorite
depository for city, county and State
funds.
But now Cox has been swept out of
political power and he has had to re-
sign as president of the bank. Cox's
bank has become a branch of the Prov
ident Bank and Trust Company. B. Fl.
Kroger is now president of the com
bined institution.
Like Cox. Kroger is in his ffties.
Like Cox. he started his career as de-
livery boy for a grocery, but his rise

Their inquests Covered Wide Variety

It has been supposed and legal his
torians have told us that the Office OF
coroner was originally instituted by
King Alfred with that of the sheriff,
both being designed to aid in keeping
the peace when the earls gave up the
wardships of the county. The legal
historians are wrong. according to Dr.
F. ]. Waldo of the British Medico-
Legal society, who has traced the his
tory of the coroner and his ancient
office as far back as the year 1891
In early days the coroner had
wider and more general jurisdiction
than he now enjoys. Coroners were
wont to hold their views not only
upon deaths where an investigation
was considered necessary. but also
upon various serious crimes which
were treated as occasions for the rails
ing of revenue for the crown. The
mission of the coroner to the state
was not alone to investigate crimes
and bring felons to justice. He super
intended the forfeiture Of money and
personal property by criminals to the
crown, for the recording Of which he
was responsible These forfeitufes
were not confined in cases Of violence
and death to the property Of the per
son who could be held directly respon-
sible. but included animals and in$tru
ments to which loss of human life m
der any circumstances might be trace
able.-New York World.
