VIII Demand Recognition

FACTIONS END FRICTION

The Zionist and Socialist factions OF
the Jewish National workmen's Equal
Rights Committee decided to end all
friction in the future at the conference
yesterday In Beethoven Hall. 210 Fifth
street. They also adopted a resolution
calling for n congress OF all Jewish
leaders in the United States to plan ac-
ton for the restoration of peace in
Europe and to induce the United States
to aid in the gaining of equal rights
for Jews in every land.
The two factions have united on a
definite plan of action said Herman
Lilliput. ''They have adopted a com
promise resolution calling for "A Jewish
Congress of America to urge tina the
United States take action to restore
peace. The most prominent Hebrews
in the United States will be called upon
TO participate in the congress. They
will be asked to use influence to bring
about action by the United States in be-
half OF the Jews throughout the world
THE Jews believe that eventually the
United States will be called upon by
the European belligerents to restore
peace, and with peace they want the
Jews in all countries to hav eQuaI
rights with citizens or subjects.
The congress will represent upward
Of 100000 Jews in this country. II
will try to bring about united action
not only by wealthy and influential jew
hut by the representatives Of the wage
earning Jews.
Equal rights for Jews In Palestine
will be demanded. The Zionists are
seeking TO establish a Jewish state IN
Palestine, and TO this End they will ask
for the right Of free colonization. I'm
der the present regulations the Jews
are not accorded access TO Palestine
When that land is wrested from the
Turks by the Allies the Jews will ask
thai they be established there on a basis
which will encourage large numbers OF
Jews to go to Palestine and build up a
powerful Jewish state. where Jews may
enjoy all of the benefits Of democracy
and modern civilization"

LEONARD Nj. THOMASHAS
HIS CHILDREN RENAMED
Goes to Court in Order That
1nheritances May Not Be
Imperilled.
NAMES ARE SHORTENED

Leonard Moorhead Thomas and his
wife. Mrs. Blanche Oelrichs Thomas.
who is the daughter of Charles May
Oelrichs. have obtained permission from
supreme Court Justice Giegerich to
change the names OF their two sons,
one = years old and the other four
months old. because they have decided
mat the names originally given the two
children were too cumbersome,
The application Is a novel one. since
such changes in the case OF infant chill
dren are made by the parents without
resorting to the courts. II Is under
stood that legal permission WAS oh
tanned In this case because the two boys
VIII some day inherit fortunes and their
parents desired that there should be
no doubt as to the identity of their
children, since their original names are
entered on the Board OF Health records.
The new names are effective after
September Is.
Leonard May Oelrichs Thomas, the
Oldest boy, was born May 2. 1911. The
petition asks that his name be changed
to Leonard Moorhead Thomas. Jr. Mr..
Thomas stated that he resides at 12
East Eighty-seventh street and dur
ing a part OF the year in Newport. II. L.,
and In Philadelphia. The original name
given the child is entered on the rec
ords OF the Department of Health and
OF the rectory OF st. Patrick's Cathe-
dral.
Mr.. Thomas said that the reason he
wants the naine Of his older son
hanged Is that at the time the name
was selected he was the only child
and Mr.. Thomas desired one child to
bear his wife's family name as well
as his own, her maiden name BEN
Blanche May Oelrichs. He said that
since that time another son has been
born to whom the name May has been
given, and he desires to change the
older sons name to one less cumber-
some. He gave as a further reason
mat Moorhead is his mothers family
name and he believes the boys inter-
ests VIII be substantially promoted
by the change.
The younger son. Meredith Michael
May Thomas, was born April 20 last
and his name has also been registered
with the Department OF Health. He
viii now be called Robin May Thomas.
Mr.. Thomas gives the following reason
Tor changing this sons name:
The name Meredith Michael May
Thomas was given to the infant shortly
after his birth. at Il time when your
petitioners wife was extremely i'll and
consequently unable to discuss or give
any serious attention to the selection OF
a name for the infant. The name was
chosen at that time owing to the neces-
sity expressed by the attending physi-
clan OF giving some name for the pur-
pose or the registry OF the birth. Since
that time your petitioner and your
petitioners wife have given the matter
