To the Editor Of the Evening Ledger:
Sir-Cannot something be done for the

$3.50; flour, $l2 milk. twelve cents steak
thirty-five cents lamb chops, forty cents ;

VISIT FROM NOTED RABBI
Moses Lipschiiz of Jerusalem Leader
of Jewish Sect.

KANSAS CITY. March 25.--Rabbi
Moses Lipschitz of Jerusalem, Pales-
tine, is in Kansas City for week. the
guest of friends. Altho only 27 years
old, he has won considerable distinc-
ton as a preacher, scholar and edu-
Gator. He is propagandist of the
Jewish sect of "Chasadim," or "pious
people" of whom there are about one
hundred and fifty in Kansas City. He
has no congregation, but is a rabbi
at-large, lecturing to all Jewish peo-
pie.
''It is with alarm that | see so many
of our people coming to the United
States" he said. AT best 1t Is q
hard struggle to overcome the temp
tation to think too greatly of material
wealth, and there are so many temp
tations here to lure our people away
from their religion to the worship of
wealth. The folly of yielding to such
temptation is taught in the writings
of David"

WASHINGTON, March %. - \
cluster of senators and representa-
tives who are remaining in Washing
ton waiting the convening of congress
on April met in the louge of the
Willard last night and We're discuss
ing the effect of the Russian reVOlu-
ton on the populace OF Germany, and
IT was their unanimous opinion that
unless the kaiser changes his attitude
he would be confronted with the
same contingency that caused the abb
dication of Nicholas. These men eX-
pressed the general opinion of Off
Cial Washington. In fact. some of
them went so far as to say a revolu-
ton was at this time in progress
within the Fatherland. but the news
of its magnitude was being sup
pressed by the rigid censorship.
The common people are awaken
ing. Men who are sacrificing their
all at the behest of the kaiser are
beginning to realize the futility and
stupidity of war. They are taught that
the whole world is fighting the fa-
therland, when, as a matter of fact,
this condition seems to be reversed,
especially in the light of recent events
in- submarine warfare. That the com
mon people are certain to find out
the truth sooner or later, and re-
volt will follow that will end the
reign of the HohenZollerns Is the
opinion of official Washington.

The Esmeraldas sailed from this

from her.

detail of the departure of the horse
ship from a British port. However,
it was stated that the steamer was

been sent home on another ship had
been received.
on the contrary, Veterinarian
Clark, who missed his ship and was
forced to catch one of the passenger
liners back home, arrived here some
time ago
The agents stated they had not
been advised that the Esmeraldas
had been taken out of the service
and expected her back to load an

they are satisfied the horsemen still
were aboard when the Esmeraldas

PARTIES TO FIGHT
FOR LOWER HOUSE
Congressional Leaders Gather

Plan Reorganization.
PROHIBITION is BIG ISSUE
Northern Democrats Tired of
Having Good Places Go

WASHINGTON, March 25.-With
session only a week off, congressional
leaders are here for conference with
administration officials over legisla-
tion which will be demanded by the
virtual state of war existing between
the United States and Germany.
Aside from the great business for
which congress has been called, the
question of organization is chiefly oc-
cupying the house leaders. Both
Democrats and Republicans said to-
night the election of a speaker prob
ably will follow soon after the house
was called to order, but orga ganization
of committees presented n problem,
the result of which no one could fore
cast
The attitude of the so-called wet
members and some of the northern
Democrats is giving concern to the
Democrats, while the Republicans are
troubled over their progressive wing.
Any of these elements might easily
wreck the organization plans of the
majority of either side and some OBJ
servers are predicting that abolition
of the seniority rule in filling COM
mittee chairmanships will be the first
manifestation of their strength.

declarations that the coming session
would have to see some decided
changes in committee heads If north

are in a fighting mood and will de-
