DEFENSE Of TAFT
Local Attorney Denies Having Made
Charges Against President
to Jews.
SHOWN GREAT FRIENDSHIP"

Simon Wolf, a prominent Jewish at
torney. Of this city. and a leading off,
cial Of the United Order of B'nai Birth,
made public yesterday a letter which he
sent to Rabbi Isadore Koplowitz, of Des
Moines. Iowa. denying charges which he
was reported to have made against
President Taft.
Whatever statement is made attrib-
uting to me unfriendly comments on
President Taft. either as an individual
or as Presidents are utterly unfounded
and maliciously untrue" he wrote. His
feelings for each and every citizen. as
far as l know, are the same, and he has
time and again, when opportunity was
offered, shown his great friendship and
liberal spirit toward the people OF our
faith
Investigated Reports.
Statements attributed to the Presidents
political enemies intimated that under
the present administration Jews have had
difficulty migrating TO this country, and
that the administration has not been sur-
ficiently urgent with Russia in the mat
ter Of indiscrimnate recognition or
American passports. Mr.. Wolf says that
he has carefully investigated these re-
