Zangwill's Message to the Jews in
"The Children of the Ghetto"


Israel Zangwill's thesis, basical, in
his great work The Children of the
Ghetto" as produced by the William
Fox Company under the direction Of
Frank Powell with Wilton Lackaye
in the leading role. is the much in
volyed religious rite Of the Jews
which tends to ALLEVIATE the young
from the fold. He supports this thes-
is by the following example:
Hannah, Reb Shemuel's daughter,
while visiting some friends meets a
newly engaged couple. In his exuber-
ance. the young fiance of her friend
chides her for not having taken the
leap into matrimony and in a spirit Of
fun takes the ring off the finger Of
his fiancee and places 1t on hers at
the same time repeating the Jewish
marriage ceremony. AS this was done
in the presence of witnesses Gas the
poet Pincus pointed OUT they were
man and wife. And in order to sever
the bonds OF matrimony thus tied in
Jest a regular divorce had to be Sc
cured Later when Hannah is at the
altar about TO be married to Brandon
this same poet Pincus, who has
wooed unnecessarily for Hannah's
hand announces in the synagogue
that as Hannah is a divorced woman
she cannot marry Brandon des-

"The Children
Of The Ghetto
THE STORY

The story of The Children of The
Ghetto as conveyed by the William
Fox production of the great Zangwill
masterpiece produced by Frank Pow
ell vibrates with human emotion.
Reb Shemuel. the old rabbi, played by
Wilton Lackaye who created the or
iginal role on the speaking stage
makes an appeal that grips the heart,
throttles the throat and brings tears
Of sympathy even TO the most sophis
ticated eyes. At the very outset
lump begins to form in your throat
when the good old God fearing Is
raelite takes the coat off his back to
cover the cold chilled frame of one
of his flock. Throughout the play
Reb Shemuel bears the burdens OF
Israel with a heart full of love toward
all and malice toward none. Even
when his head is bowed in sorrow, his
belief in the wisdom Of righteousness
Of the Lord is unshaken. He bears
his grief with a melting fortitude.
His story is emblematical of the
story of Israel and his sons. Reb
Shemuers children are weaned from
him by the heterogeneous mixture of
cosmopolitan life. His son is taken
from him-and then his wife--and his
only daughter almost breaks his
steeled heart by eloping with a man
an involved rabinical law made 1t
impossible for her to marry. Only
his belief that God is just and his will
be done sustains the old man in his
trouble and saves him from a death
of ennui The atmosphere Of the jew
ish home. the touching comedy dra-
ma of Jewish life and the sacred and
serious purpose OF the right-living
Jew has been defined and dehcately
visualized on the screen with rugged
fidelity and a strength Of character
ization almost startling in dramatic
realism and intensity.

MOB TAKES FRANK FROM PRISON
FARM In GEOGIA, LYNCHING HIN

Marietta, Ca, Aug. II. - Leo NJ
Frank, serving life term for the mur'
der of Mary Phagan, an Atlanta fac.
tory girl and who was taken from the
state prison farm at Milledgeville last
night, was lynched two miles east of
Marietta by the armed automobile
crowd which took him.
Frank was brought 100 miles from
the prison farm to point almost
within sight of the former home of
Mary Phagan. He was then hanged
to tree. No shots were fired. His
body was found this morning at $3.50,
clad only in prison shirt and trousers.
1t is believed that he was lynched
about daylight. "
Several automobiles, we'll loaded,
left here in the direction of Milledge-
vile last night. After the return of
the machines today, officers started
out on the road which they believed
the automobiles had travelled. They
had gone only two miles when they
found the body of Frank hanging to a
tree not more than $50 yards from the
roadside
News that the body had been found
spread rapidly and within a short
time hundreds of people were crowd
ing the scene. No immediate effort
was made to cut the body down, as
Sheriff Hicks was not in town and the
coroner took no action. N
It is believed that the stop at the

loudly and fired shots, was a ruse to
delay the pursuers. At the time the
vicinity of the bridge was being

had already met death.

The contract was let on the modi

on the splendid arrangements and fin

Buffalo when five shots were fired in
quick secession at William Covert, a

One of the bullets struck Covert in

At Buffalo, the North Coast Limited

taken on board and his wound dressed
by DR.. Dillon, Fargo physician, who
was returning to this city. At an
early hour Covert was under the care
of DR.. Dillon and DR.. Sorkness in the

The only particulars which could be

the three negroes who at once opened
fire, and knowing that Covert was

WOULD Be EMPEROR
OF CHINESE NATION

Pekin, Aug. 16.-The project of pro-
claiming himself emperor is being
discussed by Yuan Shi Kai, president
of the Chinese republic, with his i'm
mediate supporters and Professor
Frank Johnson Goodnow of Johns
Hopkins university, legal adviser to
the Chinese government, who is
spending the summer in Pekin.
Professor Goodnow who secured the
confidence OF Yuan Shi Kai by advice
given during former critical times, has
been consulted on this question since
his arrival here a month ago, and it
is learned that he has approved the
project.
The news becomes public by the de-
liberate publication in this mornings
newspapers of the account of the
formation by several prominent men
Of an association for the purpose of
discussing whether monarchy is not
the better form of government for
China. The article telling of the for
nation of the society quotes Professor
Goodnow as saying that monarchy
is better form for China than a re.
public, and that conditions are diff.
ferent in China and America and it
is impossible to transplant a system
from one country to another
1t was learned from one of Yuan
Shi Kai's immediate supporters that
if the project proved feasible the plan
is to establish a monarchy within two
years.
The news has created a sensation
in Pekin and is being telegraphed
throughout the country. China became
republic Feb II, 1912, upon the
abdication of Emperor Kuang Su, after
the revolution of the previous year.

The crowd about Franks body in
creased rapidly as the day wore on.
BY 10 o'clock many women and chill
dren were mingling with the crowd in
the woods at the edge of which the
body hung. Up to that hour on ef-
fort had been made to dispose of the
body, although Coroner Booth had
been summoned.
Franks body was cut down at 10:15
o'clock, but not until Robert Howell
had spoken to the crowd advocating
mutilation of the body. Newton
Morris pleaded with the throng to al
low the inquest to take it's course.
A vote was suggested and taken.
1t was overwhelmingly in favor of al
lowing the coroner to take charge of
the body. 1t was then cut down and
the two-mile trip to Marietta was
started.
At the suggestion of Newton A..
Morris, former superior court judge
here, the body was taken from the un-
dertaker's wagon in which it was
placed at the lynching scene, and put
into an automobile on the outskirts
Of the town. The automobile then
started toward Atlanta. 49,. .

AMERICAS Make APPEAL
TO FACTIONS OF MEXICO

Washington, Aug. 16.-The follow

been transmitted to the warning fac
tions of Mexico, having been sent out
under date of Aug. II:
The secretary of state Of the United
States, the ambassadors extraordinary
and plenipotentiary of Brazil, Chile
and Argentina, and the ENJOYS extra
ordinary and plenipotentiary of Boliv-
ia, Uruguay and Guatemala, accredited
to the government of the United States
of America, acting severally and inde-
pendently, unanimously send to you
the following communications:
Inspired by the most sincere spirit
of American fraternity and convinced
that they rightly interpret the earnest
wish of the entire continent, they have
met informally at the suggestion of the
secretary of state of the United States
to consider the Mexican situation and
to ascertain whether their friendly and
disinterested help could be successful
ly employed to re-establish peace and

DUCKS LEGAL PREY FOR
OPENING DAY OF SEASON.

The papers of the state have been
running an article stating that the
federal and state game laws conflict in
regard to the opening of the fall shoot
! ing season, stating that the federal
law fixes Sept. Z as the date, while
the state law fixes Sept. Is. The
article further states that the state
law will govern.
Somebody evidently slipped a cog
and the rest of the boys used the
article because it was handy copy,
without stopping to verify the dates.
On page 106 of Secretary Halls pop,
ular edition of the session laws OF
1915, the only edition that has so far
been issued, the law says "any wild
duck or goose or brant may be
killed and had in possession between
the seventh day of September and the
first day of December of each year,
both inclusive"
There is nothing indefinite about
that nor anything that sounds like
Sept. Is, and the hunters of North
Dakota may therefore shoot ducks,
geese or brant as we'll as chicken on
the opening day. ~.
Hon. c. F. Mudgett and Hon. F. E..
Ployhar had considerable to do with
fixing the date for aquatic birds at
Sept. 7. When work was begun on
the game laws it was proposed to
make Sept. Is the date for these birds,
but they argued that with the hunters
restricted to chickens for the opening
week the unfortunate birds would
practically be exterminated. Their
logis evidently touched a responsive
chord, for the rest of the legisla-
tors agreed with them and the law
reads as above quoted.
