SUFFERING AND HUMILIA-
TON OF SPANISH JEWS RE-
SUIT IN WHOLESALE
APOSTASY.

GULL LIN w I1OAGOAAE
APOSTASY.
The new oppressive and degrad-
ing measures devised against the
Jews of CASTLE by Paul de Burgos
and Vincent Ferrer, and enacted by
the court, had a twofold effect. 1t
reduced thousands of faithful Jews
who had previously lived in comfort,
nay, enjoyed opulence, and occupied
positions of honor and distinction, to
misery and starvation, and drove all
others who were worldly-minded,
unprincipled, and INSCRIPTIONS into
the bosom of the church, which was
the real object of their prosecutors.
A contemporary writer thus de-
scribes the misery caused by the new
oppression: Inmates of palaces
were driven into wretched hooks,
and dark, low huts. Instead Of rust
ling apparel we were obliged to wear
miserable clothes, which drew con-
tempt upon us. Prohibited from
shaving the beard, we had to appear
like mourners. The rich taxfarmers
sank into want, for they knew no
trade by which they could gain a
livelihood, and the handicraftsmen
found no custom. Starvation faced
every one in the face. Children died
on their mothers knees from hunger
and exposure"
The worst blow to the Jewish
cause, however, was the ever in
creasing number of converts to the
church. Sometimes entire cOmmun-
tiles found a refuge from their perse-
cutors in apostasy. It is said that
in Toledo Ferrer baptized more than
1000 Jews. He succeeded equally
we'll in Murcia, Lorca, Ocana, Ill
escas, Valladolid, Tordesillas, Sala-
manca and Zamora And as Ferrer
did not confine his vicious and ia
natical activity to CASTLE but spread
it over Aragon also, the Jews Of that
country went thru the same mourn
full experiences. 1t SO happened that
the infante Fernando of CASTLE had
been elected king of Aragon, partly
thru the instrumentality Of Ferrer,
SO that the latter exercised consider
able influence over him, and obtain
ed from him all the assistance he
needed in his nefarious work. And
the Jews of Aragon, too, could seek
escape only in baptism, especially
those of Saragossa, Daroco, and
Ca1atayud. In addition to the places
thus far mentioned Ferrer made
manv converts in Albacete, AStOrga,

PROFESSIONALS HAD
HARD TIME I'M 1915
Inv Associated Presg1

NEW YORK. That professional
sport suffers periodical setbacks, no
matter in what part of the world it is
stages, is shown by recent events both
in this country and England. Baseball
is just emerging from season OF
depression, financial and otherwise,
in this country while in, England SOC
Ger, which corresponds to baseball
in the United States, is being sub
jected to an investigation and house
cleaning. Public interest in profes-
sional soccer has been seriously af-
fected throughout the British Isles by
disclosures which involved the hon.
esty of some of the players. The facts
were brought out at an inquiry con-
Quoted by the football league and the
football association with the result
that eight men were permanently
barred from playing Four of these
professionals were members Of the
Liverpool Club, three belonged to the
Manchester United Club and the 9th
er one played on the team of the
Chester Club No suspicion was at
tached to any officials of these or
SdAALdBAOAo Ble IL vas. BAONSo -NAAoS
certain players, conspiring TO throw
the game, placed bets on the match
last season.
In England professional football
the association or soccer game takes
the place of professional baseball in
the United States. Rugby is confined
to colleges, and cricket corresponds
to tennis so far as public interest is
concerned But the big association
matches draw crowds of from $4,000
to 100000 while there is no field large
enough to accommodate the people
at the final match for the English cup
in times of peace. Like professional
baseball. professional football has
managed to keep an untainted repu.
tation as general thing But in
spite of heavy gate receipts, the Brit
ish professionals are poorly paid and
their small pay may have tempted the
accused men to make bit on the side
by dishonest playing.
