PASSOVER FEAST
BEGINS TONIGHT
Jews to Open Eight Days Cele-
bration Marking Liberation
From Egyptian Bondage.

"Pesach," the Hebrew Feast Of Pass
over, will begin at sunset today and
continue for eight days. 1t is also known
as the Feast of the Matzoth," or unleav-
ened bread. During the entire holiday,
ordinary or leavened bread containing
yeast and ealt is forbidden, and the
"matzoth" or unleavened cakes are sub
stituted. These are reminder of the
lsraeltes' hasty departure from Egypt
when the dough, carried in troughs, was
baked by the hot desert sun before 1t
could ferment.
The word "Pesach" means to pass over
and applies to the last Of the ten plaques
visited on Pharoah and all the Egyptians:
The Angel of Death was commanded TO
slay all the flrst-born sons of the Egyp-
talns. That the Angel of Death might dis
tnguish the dwellings OF the 1sraelites
from the others, God commanded Moses
to tell his followers to mark their portals
with the blood of a sacrifclal lamb.
The death OF his son caused Pharoah to
liberate the slaves. The entire history
of the Tsraeltes from the time they en-
tered Egypt to their arrival in canaan
will be narrated tonight and tomorrow
night at the seder or home service.
Upon his return from the synagogue,
where brief services will be held late this
afternoon, the master of the house VIII
begin the "seder." He will seat himself
in a chair upholstered with down pill
low. for he is king of his little domain.
Then all his subjects, the wife, children
and domestics will seat themselves about
the table, reclining freely in their chairs
as become those who have only Divine
Master.
The door will be opened and an invita-
tlon will be issued to any wanderer to
enter and Join in the celebration For
him there will be an extra goblet of wine
called Elijah's cup. On the table Will pc
articles symboizing some epoch In the
history of their ancestors. Beside the
will rest a roasted egg and
burned shank bone of lamb, substitutes
for the sacrifice, a custom which ended
with the destruction of the Temple in
Jerusalem. There will also be dishes con-
tanning bitter herbs, commemorating the
trials of the slaves in Egypt, and mix
ture of apples, nuts and wine, the color
of which resembles that OF the mortar
and clay used in the making of bricks for
the naughty Pharaoh. The "matzoth'
will be eaten tonight for the first time.
All bread, cereals, candy and other leaven
artices will be cleared away before 10
o clock this morning. Brand new dishes,
linens and tableware will be used to In
sure against contamination with anything
eaven.
After the herbs and other articles have
been partaken of, the youngest boy pres
ent will ask four stereotyped questions
the reasons for the Passover
observance The master will answer his
,on, grandson and often great t-grandson,
with a detailed history of the Jews taken
from the Book of Exodus. During the
service, no less than four cups of wine
will be emptied, to signify freedom and
but debauch is forbidden.
All will recline in their chairs and cat,
rink and sing merrily. This ceremony
will be repeated tomorrow night.

PEARL OF GREAT PRICE
RESCUED FROM GARBAGE
Mr.. Hamilton's Birthday Surprise for
Wife Has Unexpected Climax.

william Hamilton, of Cleveland, who Is
guest of the Bellevue-stratford Hotel
devised a novel method Of giving his wife
a $1,000 pearl as birthday gift, but his
originality cost them several hours of
trepidatlon and half an hour of poklng
about barrel of oyster shells In the cell
lar Of the hotel.
Mr.. Hamilton arranged with Rudolph
I,azar, a head waiter in the hotel, to
have the gift hidden under one of the
oysters of a cocktail served to Mrs. Ham
ilton at dinner last night When her hus-
band was called to telephone Mrs. Ham
ilton sent away her plate without having
eaten the blue point under which the
birthday gift was concealed. The shells
were tossed away when the dish went
back to the pantry, and by the Hme the
husband had returned and told his wife
of the undiscovered present the debris
was in barrel in the cellar.
Thoughts of dinner were forgotten as
the husband, dressed in evening clothes,
and his wife, In n dinner gown, rummaged
through the oyster shells until the pearl
came to light.

JAPANESE ELECTIONS
UPHOLD CHINA POLICY
Triumph of Militarists May
Cause Complications-Deter-
mined to Force Chinese De-
mands.
WASHINGTON, March %

with the Okuma Government over
whelmingly indorsed by the Japanese,
the Far Eastern situation has become
the real problem for the United States
to solve.
Official figures given out by the Jap
| anese Embassy here showed today that
| Count Okuma can figure on 2l3 votes in
the new House. against 167 in opposition.
| OF the latter, 81 are independents, who
will vote with the Government on many
| vital issues.
Officials here realize that the result Is
q triumph OF militarsm. Under the
| constitution, the Emperor must call the
parliamentary session before May %, but
officials here say it probably will as
semble within a fortnight.
Despite reports that Japan has made
additional demands on China, designed
still further to interfere with the open
door, there has been no reply to Amer
ican representations made a fortnight
ago. Ambassador Guthrie has been as
sured by the Japanese Foreign Minister
that Japan's intentions toward China
were friendly but official assurances are
lacking.
1t is believed by officials here that
Japan will reopen the California land
problem, so that 1t will have something
TO trade on as negotiations progress.
PEKIN, China. March 90. - President
Yuan has consulted certain advisers re-
garding the japanese demands, which the
Japanese are again pressing The ne
gotiations have reached clauses that the
Chinese deem perilous ground
In Chinese official circles It is asserted
that the Japanese have intimated that
they will bring up two subjects not in
the 2i original demands. Japan, it is
said wants a substantial measure of par
ticipation in the Chinese customs ad-
ministratlon now controlled by Britain
under loan agreements guaranteed by the
customs.
The japanese Government contends that
because Japan's trade outside of that with
Hongkong, a British colony, is greater
than that of any other country, the Jap
anese should have a large, as we'll as in
fnential, representation on the customs

a perfectly balanced food for children.
Il supplies about five and onc-half

a just the proportion growing bodics
require.
1t is also the best possible food for

MAINE CENTRAL HELD
BLAMELESS FOR MANS
DEATH NEAR NEWPORT

Bangor. Me-, Oct. 13.-Ih the matter
of the fatal accident on the track OF
the Maine Central railroad at New
.port, Oct. /, resulting in the death OF
a man said to be John O'Conrior. the
Public Utilities Commission reports
that a man reported to be James For
rest Of Holyoke. Mass, and later re-
ported to be John O'Connor OF Hoi-
yoke, aged about TO-, was struck by
westbound passenger train No. 2, at
$50 P. NJ, on Oct. /, and died about
two hours later, death apparently due
to shock rather than directly to in-
juries received.
The train was approaching the sta
ton with bell ringing at about 20 miles
an hour. The whistle had been blown
for the crossing east OF the station.
When the engineer was reducing the
speed Of his engine for the stop at
the station and was about half WAY
across the bridge near the approach to
tho station, he saw the man walk on
to the track from the north some LIS
feet ahead Of him. He stopped the train
within about Ave car lengths and
found the man lying where he had
been thrown on the south side Of the
track The evidence shows conclusive
ly that the man was intoxicated and
that no blame is to be attached to the
railroad company OF its employees.

PARIS WONDERS
WHAT NEXT STEP
GREECE WILL TAKE

Paris, Oct. 13.-(5 A. M.)-"What will
Greece do now?" is question which is
being asked on all sides here. Her trea-
ty with Serbia expressly stipulates that
If one of the contracting parties. already
engaged in war against a third power,
is attacked by Bulgaria as well, the al
lied general STATS Of Greece and Serbia
must consult with view of immediate
action.
The next step, therefore, it is main
tanned here, would rest with the Greek
general staff whose chief is King Con-
stantine. That the King will consent to
depart from the policy of armed neutral
ity is doubted here, although Bulgaria
has launched an army of $1,000 men
against Serbia.
Considerable dissatisfaction is express
ed by French editorial writer's with the
general handling of the Balkan situation.
Stephen Pichon asks to what extent Rus
STA will help or whether France and
Great Britain must stand virtually alone
in going to the aid of Serbia although
Russia's interests in the Balkans are
greater than those of France and Italy.
He affirms also that the statement of
Premier Viviani with reference to the
Balkan situation is not sufficiently ex-
plicit to satisfy parliament. He MAIN
tains that the statement does not ex-
plain the failure Of negotiations with Ru-
mania or the triumph Of Bulgarian du-
plicity."

N. Deicasse's retirement at this par
ocular moment when the Balkan cri-
sis has become acute, caused some
surprise, though those closely identi-
fed with governmental affairs were
not entirely unprepared for the change.
One Of the main reasons assigned
Tor the retirement of the foreign min

ferng greatly from fatigue, culminat-

resulted from the burden of anxieties

FUTURES ACT
CONTRARY TO
CONSTITUTION
Lever Act Decision Rendered by
Federal District Judge
Hough Wednesday

New York, Oct. 1.-THE cotton fu-
lures act of Aug. Is, 1914, also known
as the Lever law, was today declared
unconstitutional by Federal Judge
Hough because, as a revenue measure.
it originated in the Senate instead Of
the House Of Representatives as re-
quired by the Constitution.
The decision was rendered in a test
suit brought by Samuel T. Hubbard OF
the cotton brokerage firm Of Hubbard
Bros. and others. to recover $1,000 paid
under protest to John z. Lowe. Jr..
collector Of internal revenue, under
the provisions of the law. Judgment
was rendered in favor OF the plaintiffs.
The cotton futures act became op-
erative Feb. IS, and il the higher
courts sustained Judge Hough, or II
the government does not appeal the
case all Of the money collected under
the law will have to be refunded.
The suit alleged the act was uncon-
sttutional, first, because it originated
in the Senate instead Of the lower
house, and second. because the law
taxed the manner Of performing the
transaction instead of the transa ction
itself
Judge Hough sustained the first con-
tention, but gave no finding on the
second.
