WILSON DENIES SLIGHT
TO JEWS IN SPEECH
Says Phrase That Aroused Feel
ing Was Not Intended
as a Thrust.

wAsHiNGToN. June 17.--Correspon'
dence made public at the White House
to-day disclosed that President Wilson'S
speech at the dedication of the American
University here last week aroused soms
feeling among Americans OF Jewish faith
The following letter was received at the
White House from Herman Bernstein OF
Hollis. y. j.:
DEAR Mn. PRESIDENT have read
with deep interest your addr' 50 at the
dedication OF the American University
last week. I take the liberty OF in
curing whether you were correctly
quoted in the following lines which
were published in New York news
paper:
THAT IL the reason why schola rship
has usually been fruitful when asso-
ciated with religion, and scholarship
has never. so far as I can at the mo-
ment recall. been associated with any
religion except the religion of Jesus
Christ"
feel quite certain that you know
that true scholarship has ever been
and Is now the very essence and
foundation OF Judaism, tho religion
that gave birth to Christianity. IL
seems to me that II would therefore
be unfair to exclude Judaism from the
religions with which scholarship has
been intimately associated.
You know OF my profound admira-
tion for you as great resident,
great thinker and a great man. feel
that you would not make a statement
that Ia unfair.
This letter was the Presidents reply:
My DEAR Mr. BERNsrEiN-I am
sorry that there should have been any
unfair implication in what I said last
week. You may be sure that there
was nothing OF the kind in my mind
for there Is certainly nothing in my
thought that would discriminate in
the important matter you speak of
against Judaism.
| find that one Of the risks and
penalties OF extemporaneous speaking
is that you do not stop to consider
the whole field. but address yourself
merely to the matter In hand.

WAS OFF COURSE TO AVOID ICE.
Onpt. Roberts of New York Tells of
warning lie Received.

Capt. w. J. Roberts of the American
liner New York. which was in collision
on Saturday morning In fog with the
Hamburg American liner Pretoria about
400 miles east OF Sandy Hook, testified
yesterday before the board OF inspector,
OF steam vessels. investigating the &C.
cident, that the reason he was slightly
out of the prescribed course was because
he had received a wireless from the White
Star liner Adriatic that icebergs were In
his way.
To avoid possible danger he changed
his course In the berg region, off the
Banks, to. about ten miles south of the
regular track and continued on this course
until he reached port.
The chief engineer and other officers Of
the New York corroborated Capt. Roberts
The New York therefore was about ten
miles of the course when she met the
Pretoria, which, according to the chart.
was nearly twice that distance out OF her
course. The hearing was not public and
the result may not be known for several
days,

GLYNN NOT TO ABANDON
THE MOHANSIC HOSPITAL
VetOes Bill to Select New Site
Governor Points to
100000 Loss.

ALBANY, June 17-Gov. Glynn has
vetoed the bill providing for the abandon
ment OF the State hospital at Mohanslc
and companion bill sppropriating
100000 to begin new state hospital
for the insane Mt another point
Before vetoing these bills the Governor
requested committee headed by William
Church Osborn. who was at one time a
member of the State Hospital Commits
sion. TO examine the property at Mohansic
and report upon Its availability. This
committee informed thu Governor that
there was no reason why construction al
Mohansic should not be continued.
In the memorandum accompanying his
veto Gov. Glynn said:
ITO abandon Mohansic State Hospital
after the State has already invested nearly
half million dollars at this point erecting
buildings. providing water pipes and
drainage and building a railway spur
to the nearest trunk line seems TO me
unwtse and extravaganza.
THE Mohansio state hospital was
planned TO relieve the congestion and
crowdng In the metropolitan hospitals
for the insane. Located forty miles from
New York city. II was designed to take
care OF the dependent insane OF the metro
politan district who could not be accom-
modated in the hospitals already In exist
ence.
"Mohansic Is only valuable at the
present moment in its adaptability for a
State hospital. To sell II. according 20
experts, would entail "a public loss OF more
than $4,000. This loss would have been
unavoidable II the public authorities OF
New York city, who objected TO the loca-
ton OF the hospital at Mohansic. had not
been overcome.
CONSTRUCTION has been halted and
progress delayed because the health
authorities of New York city refused TO
permit a large public institution TO be
located In the watershed OF the greater
city. These objections, however, have
now been overcome. New York city has
now expressed itself as entirely satisfied
with the system of sewage disposal which
Is planned for Mohansic"

JUROR ARRESTED ON
BRIDE TAKING CHARGE
Young Electrician Also Locked
Up in Alleged Supreme
Court Plot.

George Jamlson, a Juror in n case now
being tried before Justice Donnelly in
Part Is OF the Supreme Court. and Mil
ton Solomon, 20 years old. an electrician
OF 405 Blocker street. were arrested last
night charged with bribery in Connection
with the case In which Jamison Is sit
ting. II Is charged that they took marked
money paid to them by a detective osten-
slbly In order to have Jamison vote GER
tain way. and that when other detectives
arrested the men Immediately afterward
the marked money was found on them.
The case marks the end of several
months OF effort on the part OF the Dis
trict Attorneys office to fz crime
against Solomon. Jamison had also come
under the eye of the District Attorney
before. Jamison il janitor of an apart
ment house at rs Bank street.
Locked I'D for the Night.
The men we're arrested outside OF
Riley's saloon at Ann and Nassau streets
by Detective McGlinchey and Armstrong
and were locked up in the Greenwich
street station for the night.
II is charged that NJ. A. Houghton. a
private detective, passed S35 In marked
money to Jamison and s25 to solomon.
The other detectives Immediately ar
rested them and allege that they still
possessed the marked money.
The case dates back to a trial several
months old where Jamison also served as
a Juror. The jury disagreed in that case,
and It is said that Jamlson was the man
who hung 1t. All the other Jurors voted
one way, but Jamison's stand was enough
to cause a disagreement.
The attorney who would have won the
case but for the hung jury notified the
District Attorneys office and detectives
were put to work. 1t was learned that
Jamison frequently met Solomon, who
spent a great deal OF time around the
Supreme Court and the Criminal Courts
Building. When Jamson was called as
Juror In the present case II was decided
that this was the time to see II the two
men were working together and IL they
would accept bribes.
No Que Else Concerned.
Jsmlson was called as a Juror in the
case OF Raffray against Hazard. w. ii.
Sanford was the attorney for the plaintiff
and j. J. Fitzgerald represented the de-
PENDANT. The case is a civil suit over
mining stock. There is no suggestion that
either of the attorneys or either OF the
principals did anything wrong-the Dis
trict Attorneys office simply took adj
vantage OF Jamison's presence on jury
to see IL Solomon would accept bride
for him.
As Solomon knows many detectives and
policemen by sight through frequenting
the courts, Il was decided to call In an
outside man, so Houghton, private de-
tective, was instructed to see II Solomon
would insure a certain verdict or dis
agreement for money. Ii is charged that
Houghton saw Solomon. and after pre-
lminary arrangements were made on both
sides. solomon said that Jamison would
vote as requested. II the money was right.
Both men will be arraigned In the
/ Tombs police court in the morning.

the resolution he introduced in the Senate
Yesterday as to the Nicarasuan loan, and
also asked the Secretary number OF
questions concerning Boaz Long, one OF
Mr. Bryaxns friends. who has Just been
nominated as Minister to Salvador.

Sharp williams of Mississippi. and that
two Republican members OF the commit
tee will put up very determined and per-
sistent opposition to its ratifcation-Sen-
ators Borah and Smith.
ASKS Favorable Action.
Secretary Bryan asked the committee
to act fayorably on this treaty. saying
that II would give to Nicaragua better
class of public officers and restore order
and give stability to financial and COM
mercial conditions.
Senator William Alden Smith In Ques-
tioning. interrogated the Secretary Of
state as to the growing influence OF the
United Fruit Company in Nicaragua and
the other Cehtral American States. Sem
ator smith raised sufficient doubt In the
minds OF the committee by his question
ing to cause some OF them to say after the
committee adjourned that the nomination
of Boaz Long would not be confirmed for
some time to come.
