SCRAPS ABOUT SCRAPPERS
IxyILL1E JACKSON has been in normal
BY LOUIS II. JAFFE-

yLyILIIE JACKSON has been in normal
w health for more than week. after a
recent attack of pleurlsy. and he Is putting
himself In frst-rate shape before appearing
in the ring again. He Will box In this
city In the near future. and when he docs
answer the bell Billiam will have no alibi
If he happens 10 get the worst OF It. Mon
day night In New York Jackson Is
scheduled to pair off with Tommy Tuohey,
the Paterson, y. j. redhead. Willie was
forced to cancel several dates with Tuohey
because of Illness after they had put on a
sensational tit about two months ago. How
ever Jackson's health will not interfere with
Monday nights scrap, and he is primed for
grueling go. as Tuohey makes the road
tough for any one. Since Jackson scored
oneround knockout oyer Johnny Dundee
and placed himself near the top Of the light
weight class. fight fans, especially in this
city, whore the feat was accomplished, have
been skeptical about Willie's chances In an
other Dundee setto. OF course, Dundee
wanted a return bout with jackson right
away, but the latter was not anxious for
another match. H!s intention was to reap
as much of the fruits Of popularity as pos
siblo, for which nobody could hate him.
Now Jackson says he is ready to accommo-
date Dundee, but lie must get a reasonable
guarantee for the bout. Again, Jackson
cannot be hated for holding out for as
much of the filthy stuff as he can grab
Off.

Grief and Shock Cause Death.

Clovis-As a sad sequel to the death
of Mrs. R. " Duke, due to gasoline
burning, came the death of Mr.. Duke,
who also received severe burns at the
same time. Mr. Dukes condition had
not at first been considered serious,
but his physical condition was not
such as to withstand the injuries, the
shock of the accident and the grief
caused by the tragic death of his wife.
The accident, which occurred on the
Duke farm about twenty miles north
west of Clovis, followed midnight
call from a passing auto party for
more gasoline. Mr.. and Mrs. Duke,
to oblige the people, went out and
drew the gas for them from a supply
tank. After the car had left, Mr.
Duke is supposed to have used Ian
tern in seing how much gasoline was
left in the tank. The explosion fol-
lowed, the wife dying within twelve
hours.

Washington, Sept. 24.-How Ger
many 'shamefully abused and ex-
plotted" the protection of the United
States by secreting in the German
legation at Bucharest, after the Amer.
ican government had taken charge
of Germany's affairs at the Rumanian
capital, quantities Of powerful explo-
sives for bomb plots and deadly mic
robes, with instructions for their use
in destroying horses and cattle, was
revealed by Secretary Lansing.
1t was another of the series of Mr..
Lansing's disclosures of German in
trigue, made public without comment
in the same manner as the Won Lux
burg kilograms, which have brought
Argentina to the verge of war with
Germany; the Won Eckhardt letter
from Mexico City and the Won Bern
storff telegram asking the German
foreign office for authorization to
spend $4,000 to influence Congress.
The latest story is told in report
to the State Department from Will
liam Whiting Andrews, secretary of
the legation at Bucharest, and let
ter from Foreign Minister Porumbaru
of Rumania.
Parcels and boxes taken into the
German consulate at Bucharest with
display of great precaution aroused
the suspicious of the Rumanian gov
ernment. On Aug. 81, 1916, the even
ing prior to the date of Rumania's
declaration of war, some Of the cases
were taken to the German legation,
located in a different building from
the consulate.
Convinced that the boxes were not
taken away from the legation by the
German diplomatic mission on its de-
parture from Bucharest, the Ru-
manian authorities later ordered the
police to find and examine their CON
tents. The police communicated with
American Minister Vopicka, then in
charge of German interests, who re-
luctantly assigned Secretary Andrews
to observe the search. g.
Fifty-one boxes were taken from
the ground in the garden. Fifty of
them contained each cartridge filled
with trinitrotoluene saturated with
mononitrotoluene, among the most
powerful explosives known, one-fifth
of each one being sufficient to tear
up railroad track.
In the other box were bottles of
liquid found to be civilizations of the
microbes Of anthrax and glanders
1t bore a seal showing 1t came from
the German consulate at Kronstadt,
Hungary, and inside was found
typewriter note in Germany saying:
"In closed (4) phials for horses and
for cattle. To be employed as for
merly arranged. Each phial is suffi-
cient for 200 head. To be introduced,
If possible, directly into the animals
throats; if not, into their fodder.
Please make little report on the sue
cess obtained there; in case of good
results the presence of Mr.. Kostoff
for one day here would be desirable"
Foreign Minister Porumbaru accom-
panied his letter with documents tc
prove the origin of the boxes and their
contents.

FREEDOM NECESSARY
 ID LIFE OF MORALITY
Rabbi Goldenstein Says Light and
 Liberty are Gods Gifts to Israel,
 and Israers to World"
(By Sarita Strauss)

"Every Jewish Holiday has it's par ticular message. Pentecost recalls the delivery of the decalogue at Sinai; New Year accentuates the flight of time; the Feast of the Tabernacles remind us of Gods manifold gifts; Atonement day announces the failure of man. Passiver, however, com memorating the birth of our nation, is like a leader pointing out our mission which stands for freedom, light and justice"
 Thus spoke Rabbi Raphel Golden stein in opening a masterly sermon at Temple Anche Emeth on Passover, April 13, 1917 Continuing, he said, in part:
 "Freedom is the indispensable con- dition of goodness, virtue and holl- ness. No slave can be good, virtuous or holy. Take away freedom from hu- man nature and you have taken away all that there is to moral life and re- ligious existence.
 "Light and liberty are Gods gifts to Israel and Israels contribution to the world. When the lsraelities saw distinctly the darkness of the Egyp- tian idalatry, superstition and folly are in their souls gleamed the light of truth and reason, they could be re-
