This answer to Carranza, it is be-

consequences may follow a refusal on
his part to heed the call for congress

ignored with little fear.

Moses Alexander, Governor Of Idaho,
and first of Jewish origin in the United
States, voiced the hope last night at
Temple Shaari Zedek, Reid and Put
nam Avenues, Brooklyn. The vast
crowd that came to hear him overfowed
into the street and applauded him as
he entered the synagogue and left.
"Do not be ashamed of the name OF
Jew" he said. "You have cause to be
proud. They have elected me, Jew,
Governor of Idaho. They have deigned
to nominate a member of the prosecuted
race to the highest position that state
can confer. trust that the great
Empire STATE, this state of yours, will
sometimes have a son of my race in the
Gubernatorial chair. | want TO see him
there before die"
This is just the beginning of the
Jewish race" he said. THE time will
come when the world will recognize
that they are worthy, and when that
occasion comes they will be honored,
lust as have been honored."
In honor of Governor Alexander's
visit the temple was decorated from
pulpit to gallery with the Stars and

Bimson and Mayor Robert Fordyce de-

When s Bowling Green
Building Cars Fall.

Eight heavy passenger elevators in
the Bowling Green Building, which in
cludes and 9 Broadway, were stimuli
taneously put out of commission y,s-
terday when they dropped from various
heights to the bumpers below the level
of the main entrance.
Several passengers were bruised, but
no one was seriously injured.
The cars, which are operated by n.y.
draulic mechanism, were not in use
throughout the rest of the day, but a
gang of expert workmen from the Otis
Elevator Company thought they would
be able to restore service to-day. Apart
from stating that the trouble was due
to a break in a main, workmen refused
to further explain the cause.
About thirty persons were in me

were it not for the jolts they received
when the cars hit the basement bump

were not under control. Several womer

and their cries brought a large GROVE
into the lobby.
One Of the elevators used as re-
serve, which was resting on the ground
suddenly shot upward as the others
dropped down, and the imprisoned pas
sengers thought their cars would be
shunted again to the roof.
One of the elevator runners, whose
car was at rest on the ninth floor, saw
il was descending slowly without the
use of his controller. He slammed the
gate quickly, and borrowing stout
cane from one of the passengers thrust
it into the clutch. This stopped the car

of the building arranged for the ten
ants to ascend in the elevators of an
