 WILL SUCCEED MIR. INCOMES

St Louis. June 5.-The proposed se- lection of Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo as chairman of the new demo cratic national committee to suc- ceed William F. McCombs may be met with slight opposition on the part of certain members of the committee, but it was stated authoritatively to- night that if President Wilson desires that MT. McAdoo direct his presiden- tial campaign the national committee will name the secretary as chairman when the new committee meets i'm mediately after the national conven- tion.
 The desire of President Wilson to have MT. McAdoo lead his fight for reelection has been known to sev- eral committeeman for two months, but as some members were opposed to go ing outside of the committee for a chairman, it was thought advisable to wait until convention time before bringing MT. McAdoo's name forward
 J. Bruce Kremer, secretary of the committee, announced this afternoon that business reasons would prevent his being a candidate for reelection. No names have been suggested for MT. Kremers successor.

FEAST OF WEEKS WILL BE OBSERVED
 BY JEWISH PEOPLE
Exercises to Begin Tonight at the Temple Emanu-El. Class of Boys and Girls
 Will Be Confirmed

The Jewish Pentecost or Feast of Weeks (Shebuoth) will commence this evening at 6 o'clock at the Temple Emanu-El when a short service will be conducted by Rabbi Morris New field. The principal celebration of the feast will be held tomorrow morning at the temple commencing at 10 o'clock. During the exercises the rite of con- firmation will be given the following class of boys and girls: Pauline Gold stein, Beatrice Read, Seymon Newfield, Allison Loventhal, Fred Guggenheimer, Milton Coplan, Charles Gross and Max Rosenfeld. In the afternoon at 4 o'clock a public reception will be held at the temple.
 The Jewish Pentecost will be cele- brated throughout the world by the Jewish people tomorrow with appro- priate exercises. Its name is derived from the fact that it is celebrated seven weeks after the second day of Pass over. All the biblical injunctions as to the manner in which the feast was to be observed indicate that it was orig inally agricultural in character It was in reality a season of thanksgiving for the harvests that had been reaped.
 In post-biblical times this feast was observed as the anniversary of the birth of Judaism with the promulga- . tion of the divine law at Sinai. On this day of the giving of the law" as it was called by the rabbis, the Ten Com mandments constitute part of the scripture readings in the synagog.
 When the reform synagog introduced the rite of confirmation for the Jewish youth, the Pentecost. by virtue of it's traditional association with the an- cient revelation, was the day most naturally selected for charging the young boys and girls through an i'm preSsive public ceremony, with the meaning of the Jewish faith and with the duty of leading high and religious and moral life.
