CHARITY ORGANIZATION SOCIETY HAS NEED OF
 VOLUNTEER VISITORS

..The great need of the Charity Or ganIzation Society is volunteers who will do friendly visiting, said the sec- retary, MT. Myers and his assistant, Miss BoyIan, today. These friendly visitors should give about one after noon of each week in visiting one or tv4o families regularly and in helping it win up to better conditions.
 This friendly visitor is just to act as a friend to the family visited and should not under any conditions carry relief or give financial assistance to the family as this would interfere with the friendly attitude that must be maintained. Relief if needed will be provided from other sources.
 The C. o. s. has just completed it's first full month and has demonstrated beyond question the crying need for careful investi tigation of applicants for relief and of a. constructive social plan for the poor families of the city. many of which have been pauperized by long continued indiscriminate relief.
 One hundred and sixty families have been reported to the society for Investigation and assistance. About one-half of these have been found not to be in need of financial help. In several cases that have been help ed for a long time it was found that the relief given was far too little to keep the family from suffering hunger and other ills. In one case the relief given by several societies was just enough to encourage the father ir id1eness, but not enough to properly Efeed and clothe the family. The ques- ! ttau here is whether more help snaI

HEBREWS STIRRED
 AT CHILD'S BURIAL INUNORTHODOX PLOT
misunderstanding of Poor Fam fly and Burial Committee Leads to Unusual Condition of Affairs.

 To prevent such occurrences a spe- eia1 burial committee is appointed in every community where there IS Jewish population Bodies brought from afar by members of the faith, or strangers, are buried at the ex- pense of the Hebrew community, ana fhe orthodox even go SO far as to have none but orthodox of their faith touch a dead body. The committee here to whom the Jewish people LOOK includes Harris Rahn, the special po- 1iceman, and well known grocer or the the South End who is chairman, J- 11ang, a local pawnbroker and J. Furer, a. grocer,
 According to the relation made 70 Superintendent. Gordon of the local Charities Department by Meyer Wade. of S5 State street, his child wno nau been i'll for some time died at St. Vincent's hospital on March 27. Wade has a wife and another child, is ennT ufoyed by the New Haven road as a Iongshoreman at an average wage of s6 per week, and owing to the z,avnaents made to the physician att tending the child before death had no money with which to bury it.
 He said that he had applied to the burial society of the synagogue through Chairman Kahn, who de- demanded s18.50 for expenses, and later referred him to the Charities Depart ment Wade asked that the Chari- ties Department pay for the burial in Jewish consecrated ground which necessarily had to be denied. The child was ultimately relinquished to walker & Banks who inferred the body without special ceremony at I.akeviewg home
 It is said by well informed Jewish persons today that this is the first happening of the kind here and that it should never have been permitted as special funds are kept for the pur- pose of burying such bodies.
 x@1gArris Rahn when interviewed by the Farmer yesterday said that $ mis- take had been made by Wade, who should have told him that he was destitute According to Kahn the father merely called to see him and was told that the expense of hearse and coffin would amount to about SIS. Wade, he said, wanted to have the child buried under Jewish, auspices but believed the Charities DepaTtm was sent to that department and upon I teIephonfng Kahn that they would not pay the expenses was told to come hack and see Rahn- This Kahn de- nfes that Wade did. The matter was lost track Of, he says, until 1t was called to his attention by the cry o1 protest
 It Is known that Investigations into the affair have been begun by many local Jewish societies.
