approximately $50 was gathered yes

This money will be sent to the head

there.
Throughout the day, members of the

Woman's Hebrew Association visited the
homes of Jews in Washington and sold
flowers to their friends. They secured
more than 800 in this way. In the even
ing there were exercises at Adas Israel
Synagogue, at which a goodly sum was
gathered by an additional sale Of Carna-
tions.
DR.. L. Glushak was one OF the principal
speakers of this meeting. He declared
that no race of people were considered
as being worthy the attention of others
which does not make at least an effort
to subsist by itself. Therefore, 1t was
meet that the Jews who found them
selves well provided for should. in turn,
aid their less fortunate brethren, he said.
He pointed to the Jews who are doing
valiant services in all the armies of
Europe, but declared that they all knew
their national land to be Palestine.
Among the other speakers were Rabbi
Benjamin l. Grossman and Julius Peyser.

DEMOCRATS FACE

Week.

House Will Take Up District Appro-
priations Today-Tax on Case
line Has Been Discarded.

Having definitely shaped the admins
tration's preparedness policy in the army
and navy bills, the Democratic leaders OF
the House during the present week will
crown their labors by drafting the final
and in many respects the most trouble
some of the bills constituting the Iegis-
lattve program, the revenue bill
1t Is estimated that $50, 900 900 OF addI-
tional revenue must be raised to pay for
the army and navy increases and to pay
the running expenses of the government
The army bill is ready for the Presidents :
signature. The naval bill will be reported
to the House this week. The Republican
members Of the House Naval Affairs
Committee will bring in a minority report
and carry the fight to the floor OF the
House. The Democratic leaders, how
ever. do not expect that the bill will be
materially modified. although the Upper
House is disposed to lay greater stress
upon the navy than the Lower.
Party Leaders Practically Agree.
Legislation has progressed to such a
point that the majority leaders of ho.n
Houses are now beginning to speculate
upon the possibility OF a comparatively
early adjournment. In these calculations
little consideration is given the Repub-
lican opposition that might arise in the
consideration of the shipping bill, the
naval bill and the revenue bill The
vigor OF the fight the majority will carry
on in the Senate is the unknown uuan-
tlty In all these calculations and to a
large extent the determining factor.
Representative itChen. the majority
leader OF the House. and Senator Sim
mons, chairman OF the Senate Finance
Committee, have practically agreed upon
the general features OF the revenue bill.
These are an increase in the surtax upon
incomes. an inheritance tax and a tax
upon war munitions. The proposed tax
upon gasoline and other articles has been
discarded. The present stamp taxes will
be repealed.
The House Will take up the District
OF Columbia appropriation bill today.

MAKES
fraud charge
Member of Returning Board
Gives Evidence to Frank
Hogan in Letter.
WILL ASK INVESTIGATION
Facts Will Be Laid Before Credentials
Committee at Chicago by
Hogan Faction.

That there was colluson in the coun-
cils OF the Republican officials Of the
district to give the certificate to the
Chicago convention TO Robert l. Miller
and w. Calvin Chase was the statement
made yesterday by Attorney George c.
Iertman' in a letter to Attorney Frank
J. Hogan.
Mr.. Gertman declared that a promi-
nent local Republican told him on the
Gay OF the primaries that although the
hogan WllliSton ticket had prevailed in
all the precincts. the Mlller-Chase candi-
dates must have the certificates Of the
returning board showing their election
and that the returns should therefore be
canVassed behind closed doors and all
evidence OF the election Immediately de-
stroyed.
Gertman complains bitterly against the
action Of the election board in refus-
Ing to accept the certificate handed to
Mr Hogan and signed with the names Of
Chairman z. C. Snyder and himself as
members of the returning board.
The name OF the man Mr.. Gertman says
told him to see to it that the Miller
Chase ticket was declared winner has
been given to Mr.. Hogan, who declares
that when he goes before the credentials
committee OF the Republican party in
Ihlcago he will bare many facts to sub
stantiate this assertion.
Mr Gertmans letter reads, in part, as
follows
Although that action by the election
board the giving OF certificates to the
Miller-Chase mem must be a surprise and
srevious disappointment to you, It evi-
dences contempt for the certificate of
the returning board showing your cleo
ton by plurality Of more than 1000 over
the Miller-Chase ticket. and which GER
uflcate, other than my signature thereto.
Is in the handwriting Of Mr Snyder, as
chairman. 1t is entirely compatible with
what occurred just before the first meet
ing of the returning board on election
day and before the ballot boxes were
brought to my office, when / was told
by that although he knew the
Hogan ticket had prevailed in all the pre-
cincts, nevertheless the Miller-Chase
ticket must have the certificate Of the
returning board, showing their election
and that therefore the returns must be
canvassed behind closed doors and the
ballots and all evidence Of the election
be Immediately destroyed"
