GERMAN ANTI-JESUIT LAW
Forty Millions Want it, but
24.O0O,O0O Object to It.

Berlin, Dec. 4-Thc Jesuit question was
raised In the Reichstag to-day by the
Clerical leader, DR.. Peter SPAIN, who
declared that the Bundesrath's recent in
depreciation Of the anti-Jesuit law of 1872
had made more severe the provisions Of
the law. thereby afrronting "a. 900 Cath
olics in the empire. He read formal
declaration of the Clerical Centre party,
to the effect that German Catholics. so
far as they are represented by the Cleri-
cal party in the Reichstag, have no con-
fidence that the needs OF the Catholics
in the German Empire will receive Just
consideration from the Imperial Chancel-
lor and the Bundesrath, and will order
their conduct accordingly"
The Imperial Chancellor. DR.. Won Beth
-Hollweg, in reply. defended the
Bundesrath's decision as only an inter-
probation of law forty years old. This
decision in effect holds that Bavaria's re-
cent course in modifying the severity OF
the enforcement OF the imperial legisla-
ton against the Jesuit Order in Germany
was illegal
The Chancellor declared that the Prot
estants have always bitterly opposed the
Jesuits, who also in the past have not
been tolerated even in certain Catholic
countries on account Of their militant
activity In politics, the Church and the
schools. their international character and
their opposition to the growth Of the
modern conception Of the state"
While 24ooo,Ooo Catholics wanted the
anti-Jesuit law repealed. continued the
Chancellor, 100000 Protestants wanted
1t retained. and he warned the Centrists
against a renewal Of the religious conflict
of the 7os.
A Socialist speaker assured the Cleri-
calls that his party would support any at
tempt made to repeal the Law. The two
parties together have a big majority in
the Reichstag.

with their names to assume new ones
more in conformity with their ideas OF
what their names ought to be. One OF
the petitioners was FROM Abraham Fried

peculiarly Russian and was contemptu-
ously applied by Russian officials to
person of the Hebrew race in order to
give the name a specific distinction be-
tween that of Hebrew and Christian
Biblical name. Friedman said FROM
was slang for the Biblical name Ephri-
am. Besides, it was difficult to remember
and to pronounce.
Another Of the petitioners was Marcus
Cohen, who got permission TO call him.

there were so many other Cohens that
there was much confusion because of the
similarity. often he would receive mail
addressed to M. Cohen, which was intend
ed for some other person CT the same
name. and other times his mail went
astray in the same way. Coh,in said that
the last edition of the city diIectory con-
tained 200 Cohens, of whom 800 had first
names that began with the letter M"
He said that because of the many persons
of his name he was charged with miscon-
duct while employed In the postoffice. and
IL was not discovered until some time
later that he was the wrong Cohen.
The other person who induced the court
to consent to a change was William OPP
penheirner, who objected to being called

barrassed him. He will be known here
after as William Gilmore.
