Financier Warns Kehillah
His Future Efforts for
Race Will Be Private.

Jacob II. Schif pronounced his vale
dictory to his fellow Jews yesterday
morning.
The Vhite-hsired philanthropist
mounted the platform Of the Hebrew
Trade School for Girls. at Second Ave
nue. and Fifteenth Street, at II o'clock.
He faced 1000 delegates to the Kehil-
lah convcntion-the intellectuals of the
East Side, the fnanciers Of Wall Street
and the merchants Of Fifth Avenue. the
laborers. professional men and small
shopkeepers of every part OF the me-
tropois Some cheered him. some
hssed him.
At times crying. at times huskily
shouting, Mr.. Sehiff recounted what he
had done 10 save them from the bar
barsm OF Russia. recalled his efforts
financially TO succor the penniless Jew
ish immigrant in this country, remind
ed the "rebels" who wished TO pull him
of the platform and hustle him out Of
the hall that ne forgave them but
would not forget them. And then,
while the delegates TO the Kehillah
convention cheered or hissed, Mr.
Schif closed With:
Fellow Jews. am through forever
with Jewish politics. Hereafter shall
work for my race as a private individ-
ual, as
Fists Thrust at Sehih.
The statement was never finished.
Shaking his head sadly, Mr.. Schff
slowly walked down the platform steps.
For a moment his audience was silent.
Women in the gallery. many OF whom
Mr.. Schiff had aided. began to cry. 4

A hundred men rushed 10 grasp his
hand. Others attempted 10 lift him on
their shoulders. few thrust their
fists at him. Then. wiping his eyes.
Mr.. Schif passed out OF the building
into his automobile.
Mr.. Schiff's appearance at the meet
ing was a surprise. Scattered through
the auditorium were grim-faced men;
they were playing waiting game,
waiting for the opportunity TO striko
at the man who has been devoting his
TO Jewish orphans. Jewish i'm
migrants, poor Jewish and Gentle col
lege students. The Kehillsh. or Jew
ish Community, represents the 1900
900 Jews Of New York City, and as its
chairman Dr. Magnes knew well the
temper of the convention. Probably
one-third would support the resolution
Mr. Schiff to the world and
responsibility for any
statements he might make hereafter.
Gentlemen" DR.. Magnes pleaded
with the delegates Saturday night,
remember the fate OF the Jews of the
world depends on your wise thinking
tomorrow"
Arrival a Surprise.
But the intellectuals of the East Side
smiled. For weeks they had been at
tacking Mr. Schiff IN the Yiddish press
because they said he had uttered SEN
timents regarding the Jews in Russia
which they thought wrong. They voted
on other resolutions perfunctorlly.
They were waiting.

The latter demand has been

no part in the hyphen fight.
The German platform de-
mands are two:
Firsl-That there shall be

Second-That there shall

OLD GUARD EARS
CLOSE TO GROUND
Leaders Feel Need of Cau-
ton as Roosevelt Senti-
ment Grows.


Chicago, June 4.-The plain, unvsr-
nished threat Of a third party ticket
made by Progressive leaders to-day
has had a SOLDERING effect on the polit-
ical situation. II was a direct challenge
to the cold guard" that unless Roose
Welt were taken-or Hughes. If he made
a statement-as far as the Progress
sives were concerned the Republicans
could 20 ahead and repeat the suicide
of 1912.
And the "old guard" heard. Despite
protestations OF indifference TO popular
opinion, the "old guard" has its ear
TO the ground, and the lessons of four
years ago have not been entirely for
gotten. Even the Bourbons learn.
There is no question that the sta
tegic position Of the Progressives has
been improved by to-day's threat.
There was too much of a disposition
among certain sections Of the "old
guard" 70 believe that the followers
Of Colonel Roosevelt were anxious"
10 get back into the party. The ultima
tum to-day dsposes Of that. 1t shows
that principles rather than men divide
the two parties.
As a part of the Progressives PLAN
their leaders practically agreed to-
night TO Ferkins's suggestion Of post
poning nominations until after the Re
publioans had selected their ticket.
There also is a possibility that the
question of the party's course may be
left TO a steering committee, or 10

ton is 10 be determined later by the
attitude Of the Republicans.

alton in a week, and yet know that
I had to prepare some of the story
ahead so that Pat would not lose any
of his daily contributions.
DOggedly l set myself to work; alb
sOlutely put everything out of my
brain except the story that Paula
told me and today l was made happy
with a phone from Pat saying that
he thought the batch of pieces I had
just sent in were the best l had writ
ten.
You are writing with a surer
pen" he said, with more distinction.
Your stuff is losing any hint of anna
teurishness."
Now, isn't that nice, little book?
And as remarked at the beginning
it shows that a persons mind is a
queT thing. l had first to weed out
Of mine the tumble Of fears about my
operation but, to tell the truth, that
was not so awfully hard. It has al
ways seemed to me that most Of us
were very childish about taking the
advice Of our doctors. We will take
any kind Of poison into our stomach
that is ordered, because we cannot
really tell the effect it has on US, but
let one of them mention the knife
and we turn sick and cold, and yet
we do know or should know that sur
gerry is an exact science and medi-
cine is not.
Here go wandering off into the
realm Of my beliefs and theories, lit
tie book, when l started out to tell
you about the things I had to weed
out of my brain before I could get
back to a working basis for my writ
ing Of PaUla's story.
All the while the word "tubercuIar''
haunted me, and I think l almost
prayed-'Tf it is tuberculosis of the
spine, please-please let me die. ]

BETTER CAR SERVICE PLANNED
TO MUNICIPAL PIER

Responding to the demand for bet
ter service to the municipal pier, the
Chicago Surface Lines is contemplate
ing a reTOuing of car lines so that
cars from all sections of the city will
run to the foot of the pier.
The suggested plan is to have cars
of such lines as 18th St., Blue Island
av., Division St, Clark st., North Hal
sted St, North and Cottage Grove
avs. rerouted so as to run by or have
their terminals at the foot of the
pier, especially on Sundays and hQl-
days

cannot stand a lingering death in
life"
But these thoughts, too, had to go
into the discard. At last my vagrant
mind turned to Malcolm Stuart and
all at once l became somewhat sur
prised, not because l was thinking Of
him, but because I was in this crisis
thinking of someone else besides
Dick.
Little book, I am not at all in love
with Malcolm Stuart. know it is
just the feminine in me that rises to
the call of man.
I expect, little book, if I we're to
let Pat publish you, that some very
COnventionally virtUOUs woman as
she read this would simply rise on
her pedestal and shout, "Avaunt!
horrible woman" And yet why
should she? Is it not true that from
the time a girl begins to go to school
she dimples and preens herself at the
call Of the boy across the aisle-the
boy across the street and all the 9TH
ers? Why should we women go
through life denying natural laws? It
is only when they are broken that
we poor mortals suffer.
When the sexes cease to be in
terested in each other then the whole
race is doomed.
