HEBREW VERSION OF BIBLE.
Work on Which a Company of
Translators Is Now Engaged.
From the American Hebrew.

rom tnc American HEBREW.
A company of translators representing
the Jewish Publication Society and the
Union OF American Hebrew Congrega-
tions is now engaged upon preparing a
new translation of the Bible for the Jews
of the English-speakng world, and are
so far advanced in their work that its
end is within sight.
1t seems an appropriate occasion TO re-
fer to some previous attempts In the
same direction, which will doubtless be
superseded by the new version. but have
an interest of their own. since they have
proved, at any rate. that the need has
been felt by English-speaking Jews for u
considerable time.
Excellent as the King James version
is as a piece OF resonant and rhythmi-
cal English of the classical type, it is, in
many ways. unsatisfactory for use by
Jews Intended primarily for Christian
readers, IL naturally translates all tho
passages the Interpretation of which Is
a sense favorable to the latter. Besides
this, in the older editions each chapter
was headed with a table of the contents
Of the verses. in which physiological
exegesis ran riot.
Thus. in the Song of Songs, the Shu-
nammite is identified as type OF the
church in these headings. and all the
Messianic prophesies have. of course. u
Christian Interpretation. 1t was natural.
therefore, that English Jews should.
from an early period. desire to have a
version more especially adapted for their
own needs especially for those portions
of Holy Writ which are used In the
synagogue.
The need of such Jewish version oc
the Bible for English-speaking Jews has
long been felt, as has been proved by the
production of such versions both in Eng
land by Drs. Benisch and Friedlander and
in America by Isaac Lesser. Both YER
sions had their distinctive merits. But
they were the work of individual schol-
ars, neither OF them gifted with any great
sense Of English etyle. The new version
will be the first to come from a band OF
Jewish scholars with all the resources
of modern scholarship at their disposal
and with the experience of their pred
ecessors as guide. Their version
ought therefore to satisfy the three needs
OF such a translation and rhythmicai
English.
But quite apart from the literary ade-
quacy of the new translation, its appear
ance will have q significance of great
weight In the immediate future the re-
ligions of the English-speaking world
viii be divided roughly into three great
sections. the Catholic, Protestant and
the Jewish.
1t is only within the last twenty years
that the latter contingent has reached
proportions worthy OF being counted or
equal rank in the religious world; In the
United States and British empire there
are now probably close on to three million
Jews Now the Protestants have their
recognized version OF the Scriptures. the
revised version of the King James trans
lation; the Catholics have the Douay
version. 1t Is, therefore, signally appro-
pirate that the Jews who have the great
est proprietary rights In the Sacred Book,
should have their own version.

Democratic Protest Over Maui
Filings Leads to Unex-

SUPREME COURT ACTION
HALTED TILL TOMORROW
Attorney General Asks for and
Is Given Time to Consider
New Development

A new and unexpected phase has
developed in the controversy over
the validity OF the nominations OF the
Republican candidates on Maui; one
so serious that the argument on the
question before the Supreme Court
this morning was postponed at the
request of Attorney-G General Lindsay
until 10 O'clock tomorrow morning, to
give him time to thoroughly inyesti-
gate the subject.
The new question involves q tech
nieal error, apparently q. very plain
one. committed by each Republican
candidate on Maui, and It Is likely
that the Supreme Courts decision,
after the arguments are submitted,
will be principally as to whether the
technical error is. of greater import
than the evident intent Of the candi-
dates to comply with the law, There
seems, at first blush, to be little
doubt they have erred.
This error Is made the first point
In the contentious raised in the sub
mitted agreement Of. facts drawn by
Attorneys c. w. Ashford and r. r.
Quarles, but 1t did not catch the At,
torney Generals eye until this morn
ing. He understood the principal and
only contention was with regard to
the statement or party affiliation by
the caiid didates, on the nominatfohl
papers sent in by them t0s the Terri
torial Secretary.
The new phase hinges on the strict
Interpretation of Section al of the
Revised Statutes, wherein, among
other things it is stated that No per-
son shall be permitted to stand as q
candidate for election to the legis-
Iature unless he shall be nominated
and so requested in writing, signed
by not less than twenty-five duly
qualified electors of the district in
which the election is ordered and In
which he is requested to be candi-
date"
The, concluding words, :.in which
he is requested to be q candidate" ,"
supply the bone of contention. It ap-
pears that each application made to
the Maui candidates by twenty-five
voters contain the words sas lsenator
or representative of the Territory
of Hawaii" Attorney Ashford asserts
this wording is not as required by
the legal paragraph quoted above;
that it should read "as lsenator or
representative of the distriet,
the blank to be filled In with the
name or number of the particular dis
triet from which each nominee de-
sires to be elected.
The Attorney General Is deyoting
