ORTHODOX JEWS HERE
TO ESTABLISH SCHOOL
subscriptions Raised to Bring Rabbi
to- South Bend for Temple
Sons OF Israel.

Initial steps toward establishing a
school for Temple Sons Of Israel chill
dres and securing a pastor for the syn
agOgue, were taken at a meeting Sun
day when a special committee of four
raised $92S.65 by subscription toward
fund of $4,000 TO be used for secur-
ing a modern orthodox rabbi from New
York to officiate in the pulpit here and
have charge of maintaining a school
for children.
Twenty-Five members of the Jewish
society subscribed sums between $40
and 500 and a general collection was
taken up and it is believed that in the
next few weeks enough money will be
secured to meet the required fund for
getting the rabbi for this city The
school will probably be called the
South Bend Hebrew Progress school
and the rabbi will be the teacher.
At present some building may be
used for the school, however. it is
planned to erect a special school. A
committee OF ten was named Sunday
to have charge OF securing the re-
mainder OF the required fund. d. Hor-
vicz has been elected president of the
committee and F. Rosenfield secre-
tary. These two men with ID. Kaplan
and H Gross began the plans last
week and the money was raised Sun
day largely through their efforts.

HUERTA IS PLEASED
At ELECTION RESULTS
Declares Choosing of His Sup
p0rterS for Governors in Two
Provinces Supports His
Stand Against U. S.

MEXICO CITY, Feb. 16.-Showing
more jubilation than he has at any
time since the revolutionists tried to
wrest his power from him. Pres. Huer-
ia Monday declared that the election
of his supporters as governors in the
states of Campeche and Yucatan
proved that the people were back of
him and supported the stand he has
taken against the efforts of the u. S.
government TO drive him out OF the
presidential chair.
Despite the optimistic attitude of
the president his opponents declare
that the gubernatorial elections prove
nothing. They state that Huerta Off
cials were in charge Of the polls, that
anti-Huertistas were afraid to cast bal
lots and that the iron hand rule of
the president could be plainly seen in
the result.
