Wise Tells Rabbis
They Are Afraid Of
Rich Parishioners

DETROIT. July 6.-"what you want us
to do is to cater to the wealthy employ
ers Of labor. who so largely support the
synagogue. You are afraid OF what the
rich may say II we take a stand for So
cial and economic Justice You quote the
scriptures that Justice, justice shalt thou
preach, but you are afraid TO practice
what you preach"
With these words. Rabbi Stephen 8.
Wise OF New York attacked what he
called the 'reactionary' members Of the
Central Conference OF American Rabbls
at last nights session Of the conven-
ton. being held in Detroit. and demanded
the adoption OF the report OF the commit
tee on the synagogue and Industrial re-
lations," which was submitted by Rabbi
Solomon Foster OF ewark, N. ].
The committee recommended that the
conference endorse heartily" the prlncl.
pies OF the minimum wage industrial In.
surance. workmen's compensation, old
age pensions. prohibition OF child labor
and the right OF workmen TO organize.
Rabbi II. @. Enelow of New York de-
clared the conference was not ready "a
approve this economic creed and moved
that consideration OF the report be put
over until next year
When the test came the 'conserva-
tives' won. II was voted to have copies
of the report printed and sent to all
members OF the conference to be acted on
at next years convention.
Rabbi Louis Bernstein, in telling OF
the work of the synagogue for defective
delinquent and dependent Jews. declared
that in twenty-one penal institutions In
the middle west, including penitentiaries
reformatories and industrial schools
there are only l25 Jews in a total OF more
than 1900 prisoners.
The figures we have collected" he
said, ARE proof that the statement that
Jewish criminals are on the increase Il
false"

From Hospital to
the County Prison

YANKTON, S. D., July 6-(SpeciaI.)-
Charles Bowman, the quarter-breed
Yankton Sioux who shot and killed Nellie
Brewer the night of July 2, is now safe in
the county Jail, an unusually substantial
concrete building. Repeated threats had
been made by a few TO take Bowman by
force from the care Of the Benedictine
sisters of Sacred Heart hospital and
lynch him. Rumor, was busy that the at
tempt would be made, and Bowman, al
though still suffering from the injuries
received the night of the tragedy, was re-
moved to the county Jail. He stiil main
tains he did not want to hurt the girl he
was fond OF and that his mind Is a
blank as to what happened after he took
Miss Brewer away from her accepted
lover. Ralph Ford. 10 whom she was to
be married With ntwo weekg.
The funeral of Nellie Brewer took place
Sunday afternoon from the Methodist
church, with many hundreds present.
Further light on the tragedy show that
tho murderer was a frequent and ac-
ceptable visitor at the Brewer home; he
was related by marriage, and in good
financial position, with property. He had
long been a suitor for the hand of Nellie
Brewer, and when he found she had ac-
cepted Ralph Ford he determined she
should not marry him.
