The opening of the convention for the
transaction of it's business took place on
Sunday morning, as above noted, with
Mr.. Max Schulman presiding. This was
the Fraternal Delegates Session attended
by representatives of various organiza-
tions in the Twin Cities, at which the
greetings of the people of the two cities,
and of their respective organizations,
were delivered to the Convention and it's
delegates by Mr.. Jonas We'll, H. Mar

A. Golden and H. Segal of st. Paul. Rab-

the government of the Convention. Com

standing as to when he would arrive, ap-
peared in the Convention Hall unescorted,
was occasion for much applause, by all
those in the hall, which was filled to it's
capacity by this time.
The sincerity of the reception given to
Dr. Schmarya Levin, every time he ap-
peared before the people, during the en-
tire Convention, undoubtedly marked him
out as true leader in Jewish life, and
as one of the most popular Jews of this
generation. DR.. Levin, not on the pro-
gram for this session, through the in
sistence of all present, was obliged to
speak at this juncture. His informal talk
relative to the Jewish situation in Amer
lea, was considered veritable gem and
showed the similarity of conditions in
America to those in Germany, and point
ing out that in this work of regeneration
of the Jewish nation, it was the youth
of the country who were doing the work.
and calling upon the older people to join
in the movement.
After the remaining of the various COM

at one-thirty, with the singing of Hatik-
yah by the audience.
Lunch was then served to the delegates
by the Ladies' Auxiliary of the Talmud
Torah in the dining room, during the re-
cess, and again during the noon recess
on Monday. During the lunch hour
shekel books were distributed by the
Shkolim Committee to the delegates
present, for sale to the Jewish communi

The report of the Credentials Commit

The twentieth annual convention OF
the Knights of Zion, which will be re-
membered as one of the most successful

ing, Minneapolis, by the president, Mr.

Zion, and visitors from all parts of the
country, began to arrive,-although many
of the delegates did not wait for the
formal opening, but had come earlier in
the week. -. :@2
On Friday, the chief scene of activity
was the headquarters at the Gymal Doled
Club, where the officers were kept busy
taking care of the registration of dele
gates, and the information bureau in ad-
vising the visitors in various matters
about the convention dOings, and OF places
of interest in the two cities.
At the vestry rooms of the Kenneseth

es, both at the morning services, and in
the afternoon, at practically all the Syn

to arouse the enthusiasm of the older

planned. Dinner, served to the delegates

Many stories are told in Virginia
of the prowess of John X Beidler, one
of the Vigilante leaders who helped
to rid Montana of banditry. He was
an understood man. about five feet six
inches in height, but was endowed
with superhuman courage. He was a
remarkably quick shot with the pis-
toll, and his reputation was as an ac-
curate and deadly gunman made the
highwaymen slow to try issues with
him.
A deputy sheriff named Dillingham;
had been murdered by Forbes, Buck
Stinson and Haze Lyons, all members
of Plummers' organization of high
waymen. This was before the organ
ization of the Vigilantes, but the min
ers got together, sent the officers OF
the miners court after the murder
ers, and arrested them. Forbes made
a plea for himself and was acquitted,
while the vote of the miners was that
Stinson and Lyons should die.
Beidler and another man were sent
out to dig the graves and arrange for
the scaffolds for the two men. When
this work was finished they went
back to the place where the prison
ers were under guard, and found a
large crowd congregated. Promin-
ent in the crowd were many friends Of
the condemned men.
Jack Gallagher, a deputy sheriff
and a member of the Plummer gang,
called for a new vote on the hanging
by a show of hands. 1t was impossi-
BILE to ascertain which side was the
strongest. Then another proposition
was made by the prisoners friends. 1t
was to the effect that all who were
in favor of executing the men were to
walk up hill, and those opposed were
to walk down hill.
Were Lazy Voters.
''They were lazy lot of loafers, "
says Beidler, in one of his priceless
narratives. Naturally most of the
crowd went down hill, and beat us.
Jack Gallagher got up and declared
with pistol in his hand) the prison
ers acquitted He was deputy sher-
if and it had it's effect on the crowd.
A great many of the miners got dis
gusted and left for their claims. The
roughs had carried the day. The MUIR
derers were acquitted and poor Dill
ingham lay dead, murdered in cold
blood, lying on a gambling table in
a willow wickiup."
But Beidler got even to an extent
At the grave of Dillingham; he COM
PEELED Judge Fl. p A. Smith, who was
attorney for the murderers, to offer
up prayer. OF this Beidler says:
Il proposed to Judge Smith that he
tackle the job, as he had been in
strumental in acquitting the muir
derers. He knelt down and offered
up as fine prayer as I ever heard,
but l have not heard many"
