Holm w. DAVIS WILL NOT
ENTER THE CABINET
(Rv Goe. w. Summers.)

WASHINGTON, uly 8.-The APP
nointment of ohm w. Davis of Clarks-
bur to be attorney genral Of the
limited States which was expected
will not be made.
Attorney General Gregory,Whom ne
was expected to succeed, thursday
announced that he would not accept
an anointment to succeed Charles H.
Hughes on the United States supreme
court. Mr.. Gregory is of the opinion
that his participation in litigation
which is now before the supreme
court would prevent him from consid-
ering such matters and that ne should
not accept the position when such I'M
portant litigation is now before the
court with several members already
DISQUALIFIED from consideration OF IT,
If this view should also be taken
Nv the president it might also pre-
vent the appointment of Mr.. DAVIS 70
the vacant iusticeship, for he has
had charge of all the legal business
of the attorney generals office SINCE
Mr.. Gregory's appointment to the
nosition. However, his name IS still
on the tongue of Washingtonians as
possibility for the appointment to tne
bench.

The American Jewish world. [volume] (Minneapolis ;) 1915-current, 1916-08-25

Newton, and Edwin Robert Anderson,
the two sons Of the latter. Joseph
was an intimate friend of President
Grant, by whom he was at one time
offered the post Of secretary of the
treasury, which he declined. He was
the founder Of the Hebrew Orphan
Asylum of New York and one of the
founders Of the Society for Ethical
Culture, of which he was president
until his death in 1880. He was for
many years a member Of the Board
Of Education Of New York and one
of the first presidents of the Ameri-
can Geographical Society," It was he
who in 1877, with his family, was re-
fused, by Judge Hilton, accommoda-
tons at the Grand Union Hotel of
Saratoga, Hilton objecting to the
presence of Jews at his hotel. 1t was
the first incident of this kind in the
United States, and aroused consider
able indignation on the part of the best
elements of the nation.
Jesse Selignan helped his brother
in the founding of the Hebrew
Orphan Asylum and at the time of
his death in 1894 was trustee of the
Baron de Hirsch Fund. His son,
Isaac Newton Seligman, has been con-
nected with almost all the important
social reform committees in New
York and a trustee of nineteen i'm
portant commercial, financial and
other institutions and societies, includ-
ing the St. Johns Guild, the Mckinley
Memorial Association and Temple
Emanuel, being at the same time
member of the Ethical Culture So
ciety. His second son, Edwin r., is
the distinguished professor of political
economy at Columbia University. He
has been president Of the American
Economic Association and of the
Ethical Culture Society of New York.

THE SELICMANS

The death of James Seligman,
member of the New York banking
firm of J. & w. Seligman & Co.,
which occurred last Sunday at Long
Branch, N. J., brings to mind the re-
markable career of the Seligman
family, which is almost as interesting
as that of the Rothschilds.
James Selignan, who died at the
age of 81, was one of the eight sons
of David Seligman, whose home was
in Baiersdorf, Bavaria. He was one
of the first four brothers who came to
America in the years 1874, and who
together with two younger brothers,
who joined them in 1913, carried on
a thriving clothing business in diff
ferent parts of the United States.
In 1857 they branched out into the
banking business, establishing rela
tons with German bankers, and plac-
ing U. S. bonds on the Frankfort
Stock Exchange, ever since which
time the firm has been concerned with
every issue of U. S. bonds, so that in
1879, the Seligmans, together with
Rothschilds, took over the whole of
the $15O,O00,O00 bonded loan of the
United States.
In the meantime branch firms had
been established in New York, San
Francisco, London, Paris and Frank
fort-on-t the Main. The policy of the
family has been to divide equally all
profits and losses among the eight
brothers, practice pursued by the
Rothschild family, as well. The
Selignans have been the financial
agents for the Navy and State De-
partments of the u. S. since 1876 and
the accredited agents Of the govern
ment both abroad and at home. The
New York branch of the firm is also
connected with many railway COM
panies, especially in the Southwest.
In 1905 the family established in
their old home, Baiersdorf, an lnsti-
tuition for the training and support of
children during the absence of their
parents at work, the institution being
open to all inhabitants without dis
tinction of creed.
The more distinguished members
of the New York branch of the fam
lily have been: Joseph, the oldest of
the brothers, and Jesse, and Isaac
