JACOB SCHIFF BREAKS
WITH JEWISH ALLIANCE
Known as a Leader, He Says
There Is a Movement to
Down Him.

New York. June 6.--Jaeob II. Schifi
Known to Jews throughout the world
as one Of the leaders of their race, ap-
peared yesterday before thu annual
convention OF the Kehillah, or Jewish
community OF New York and pro-
nounced what he called his "valedic-
tory" He told the delegates he had
determined to break all his affiliation
with what might be termed Jewish
politics. and hereafter to do his work
for his race as private Individual. Mr..
Schiff declared he had been bitterly at
tackled in the Jewish press because OF
misquotation OF his remarks at the
central Jewish institute two weeks ago
when he deprecated the proposal that
Yiddish be spoken by Jews in all pub
lie places. He said he had been
threatened IL he did not give up his
opposition to the proposed American
Jewish congress, and he felt he de-
served better at the hands OF his CO.
religionists after the work he had done
for them.
Mr.. Schiff declared he would have
been maligned and attacked no mat
ter what he said, because IL was part
of the plan which had been very care
fully worked out" to undermine the
confidence Of the Jewish people in him
because of his opposition to the con-
gress movements.
Motions to endorse the American
Jewish congress and propose the sepa-
ration of Kehillah from the American
Jewish committee was laid on the
table.

land, a well known farmer of this vicin-
ity, has been arrested on the charge OF
running an automobile while intoxi-

that his chest was injured. Physicians
do not hold out much hope for the re-
covery Of the boy.

SIOUX CITY LETTER
ASSIGNED AS CAUSE
HILL CITY TRAGEDY
Baker Viewed Summons as
Ruse to Take Wife Away
Killed Self and Motherinlaw.

Hill City, 8. D., June 3.-The coro-
ner's Investigation of the double
tragedy in which Cliff Baker, aged 80.
of Hill City, shot and killed his moth
erinlaw, Mrs Alexander Carpenter,
and then took his own life has brought
out many details of the murder and
suicide which have not yet been pub
lished.
An alleged letter from relatives Of
Mrs. Carpenter in Sioux City, stating
they were sick and asking her to come
to them, was the direct cause or the
tragedy.
Baker married a daughter of Mrs.
Carpenter about a year ago. During
that period, 1t Is stated, Mrs. Carpen-
ter made several attempts to induce
her daughter to leave Baker. About
80 minutes before the murder and sui
eide Mrs. Carpenter went to the Ba-
ker home and stated that she had been
summoned to Sioux City because OF
sick relatives, and asked her daughter
to go to Sioux City with her.
Baker objected strenuously, declar-
ing the story Of the letter was only a
ruse to get his wife away from him
and that IL she made the Sioux City
trip he was confident she would leave
him for good. Mrs. Carpenter insisted
that she had received such a letter, and
she and Baker had a bitter quarrel,
which terminated In BAKER going INTO
an adjoining room and taking rifle
from its case. He leveled the weapon
at Mrs. Carpenter who was sitting In
a rocking chair and fired before his
wife could brush the weapon aside.
The bullet entered Mrs. Carpenters
left side, after passing through her left
arm, and then passed entirely through
her body and dropped beside a stove.
Mrs. Carpenter was killed instantly.
Mrs. Baker was kneeling, crying, be-
side the body Of her mother when
Baker entered the room, still carrying
the rifle. ,
do you want to kiss me goodby?"
asked Baker of his wife.
mot after what you have DONE" YVES
her reply.
Baker then walked out on the porch
and Placed the gun to his head, tearing
away the chin. This not proving fatal,
he threw the empty shell out of the
gun, reloaded the weapon, placed the
muzzle against the side of his head
and fired again. This killed him, the
entire top Of his head being blown off.
Mrs. Baker, who was looking through
the window, saw her husband shoot
himself.

MITCHELL PRODUCE DEALER
ATTACHES B, e. M, FREIGHT CAR

Mitchell, S. D., June 3.--The attach
ment of a freight car belonging to a
foreign road to secure action on a
claim for damages is an unusual pro-
cedure, but one that has been put into
effect by shipper of eggs and poul-
try In the city against the Boston &
Maine railroad. The box car belong
ing to this road came into Mitchell re-
Gently and was attached while stand
ing on a sidetrack of the Milwaukee
road.
The claim arose as a result of ship
ment OF poultry by w. Bauer, of the
Mitchell Produce company, when he
was in business in Missouri. The claim
is for about 5000 and was made against
the Boston e. Maine because that road
delivered the goods to a Boston COM
mission concern. A claim was filed at
the time, but has been dragging along
for years without settlement.
The case calls to mind the time when
Emil ]. Woerth, then lawyer at KIM
ball, chained a Milwaukee engine to
the tracks to secure the settlement of
a Judgment against the company. A
similar affair was performed by A. b.
Kittridge, Of Sioux Falls, for similar
cause. .t.. .
