JEWS CELEBRATE .
 PASSOVER FEAST
Begins Today and Lasts Until Sun down Next Tuesday, Most Im-
 pOrtant of Jewish Holidays.

Commencing this afternoon at sun down and terminating next Tuesday afternoon at sundOWn, the Jewish res idents of this city will celebrate one of their most jubilant holidays, the Feast of Passover. Special ser vices will be held this evening and tomorrow at the synagogue and at the Talmud Torah Institute on Elm street in observance of it.
 'Pesach," the annual Feast of Pass over, dates back nearly 3,3O0 years ago. It commentaries the enamel patton of Israel from Egyptian bond age. The first two nights of the Passover Feast are the most char acteristic. On these nights the fam lilies and their guests gather about a feast. The head of the family re- counts the well-known story of the deliverance of the Jews, which al though retold every year never loses any of it's interest to the listeners. Appropriate symbolism of the Pass over are given at these feasts or Sedars." The main symbols of these services are the roasted lamb bone, reminding the Jewish people of the lamb offered as sacrifice of
 
 leaVened bread to be eaten during the entire week, recalling the hasty preparation with which the Israelites hurried out of Egypt; the bitter herbs, suggesting the bitter life of their torefathers in Egypt, and the cup of wine meant for the prophet Elijah, who, always present in spirit, brought the message of undying hope.
 ;% religion to eat 1eavened bread called "Hometz' during this holiday, no fhardships are undergone by them in doing so. Many goodies are pre- pared from the flour of the crackers which are eaten during the week. This is one of the few holidays that is joyful one and is one that is much anticipated by the Jews all over the world.

DOLAN SEEKS PLUM
 IN HEALTH DEPT.?
Councilman Who Voted Against Raise for Assistant Inspector Said to

for Assistant Inspector Said to
 Want the Job Now aI S9OO.
 Councilman John A. Dolan of the first ward, whose term expires this spring, is said to be casting covetous eyes at the job of assistant sanitary inspector in the health department now occupied by John T. O'Brien.
 The attitude of Councilman Dolan is considered peculiar in City hall circles as he was one of the members of the council who voted continually against any increase in the salary connected with the position. De- spite the opposition the salary was in creased from $7SO to $500 and is now considered a plum of no little juice.
 Mr. O'Brien's service has been eminently satisfactory both to the board of health and to the public He is highly endorsed by Dr. T. r. Reeks, superintendent Of health, who has frequently appeared before the council and the committee on salaries to laad his Dlishments. Mayor George A. Quigley has also expressed himself as being highly pleased with Mir. O'Brien's enthusiasm and the re- suits his work shows.
 The assistant sanitary inspector is chosen by the health commission for an indefinite period.

GIVE UP HOPE THAT ANY OF
 F,4'S CREW IS STILL ALIVE
Navy Department Orders Re port on Exact Location of
 Submerged Submarine.

Washington, March 29!-The last remote hope that any of the subma- fine E'-4's crew might be alive has been abandoned by the nevy depart ment and today Acting Secretary Blue ordered Rear Admiral Moore, com manding the Honolulu naval station, to report the exact location of the sunken boat and the depth at which she lies, that the department may estimate the probability of salvaging the hull and recovering the bodies Of her commander and crew.
 No advices on the disaster have come to the departm ent since Friday night, when Admiral Moore reported that the boat was in fifty. fathoms Of water.
 Honolulu, March 29.-Hope of raising the United States submarine F-4, submerged outside the harbor since Thursday morning, still inspired those engaged in the rescue work to- day in the belief that they had locat- ed the craft in, which twenty-one per sons are believed to have perished.
 Attempts of the last forty eight hours to bring to the surface from a great depth an object that appeared to be the submarine, resulted in the discovery that it was only an old anchor, probably lost by the battle ship Oregon. The divers went to q depth of 215 feet but failed to find any trace of the F-4.
 Wearied as they were by their lonS work without sleep, the wreckors re- doubled their efforts last night when another body believed to be the F-4 was located.
 Portions of a vessels upper struc- ture have been brought to the sur face by the grappling apparatus of the various boats, renewing the con- fidence Of the rescuers that they are near the F-4.
 The dredge California, whose chains are thought to be securely fixed on the body of the submarine, will be moored in a position directly above it and tug boats will cross-cross in all directions with their drag chains in an effort to wind them into a net around the hulk.
 A big naval crane having a lifting capacity of 1o0 tons dead weight, will then attempt a direct lift on the sub- marine, assisted by the dredge.
 W. c. Parks, a civil engineer, has started construction of an immense diving-bell, fitted with heavy plate glass ports, which is expected to be ready for use by noon tomorrow.

Returns to Budapest.

Geneva, Via. Paris, March 29, 5:05 8. m.-Count Stephen T1sza, the pre- mier of Hungary, has returned to Budapest from Vienna, where he conferred with cabinet ministers re- garding the future course of the dual monarchy. According to despatches received by Swiss newspapers, the leaders of different political parties are trying to induce Count Tisza to make an effort to persuade Emperor Francis Joseph that Austria should conclude a separate peace. The premier, how ever, is said to have refused the counsel.
 Advices received here from Austria are to the effect that we'll informed public men in that country profess to believe that the intervention of Italy on the side of the allies is imminent. Count 'Andrassy former Hungarian premier, is said to be one of those who no longer attempts to conceal his concern.
 Sacrifice Is Necessary.
 Chancellor Won Bethmann- -Hollweg of Germany, the Swiss papers declare, remains infexible in his determination that Austria shall sacrifice some of her territory to preserve the neutrality of Italy. The Austrian emperor is re- ported to be equally determined not to cede to Italy any material portion of the monarchy.
 Reports from Bucharest regarding the attitude of Rumania, it Is said, have increased the alarm in Austro- Hungarian political circles.

Features suggested by the federal
commission had been included in the
Rockefeller Industrial plan, said Mr..
Welborn, as well as the substantial
acceptance of three findings Of the
anthracite strike commission, which
had been suggested by the president,
as applicable to the Colorado situa-
tion.- These provided board of con-
ciliation, containing representatives of
miners and operators; the right of
employers to employ check weighmen,
and the guarantee against discrimina-
ton on account of membership or non
membership in labor organizations.
Mr.. Welborn referred to a confer
ence with the federal commission in
New York early in 1915, and assert
ed that suggestions then made had
been embodied in the company's plan
for a representation of employees in
handling industrial matters. Time

born, ito enable the spirit which un-
derlies the industrial plan to permeate
all phases of the company's relations
with its employees, but the company
believes that careful consideration by
the commission of its efforts to demon.

should govern each and everyone iden.

corporation, will disclose that real
progress has been made In this direc-
tion, and that in thus seeking to
maintain and further harmonious and
friendly relations In its own indus
try, the company has developed plan
of cooperation which will be not only
of advantage to itself, but also prove
a substantial contribution towards in
dustrial peace within the state"
THE political policy of the Colorado
Fuel and Iron company is non-inter
ference" said Mr. Welborn. Where
officers or employees OF the company
participate in political matters, II
must be as citizens only, and not as
a means OF bringing company infu
ence or pressure to bear. No officer
or official Of the company has right
to speak In its name In regard to such
matters"
