When John J. McGraw, manager Of

would rather lose the worlds baseball
title to Charles A. Comiskey. owner OF

Of the defeated Giants gave expression

will be made for the others with their

Mr. Mason is well qualified to un-
dertake the difficult, problem which
Is confronting him. For seven years
before he started upon his present
career as newspaper publisher, he
was general manager of the Hebrew
Sheltering & Immigrant Aid Society
OF America. IL at present one of its di-
rectors and chairman OF the commit
tee on foreign relations. 1t was under
his guidance that the Hebrew Shelter
ing & Immigrant Aid Society devel
with branches at Baltimore, Boston,
Philadelphia, San Francisco and Seat
tie.
Some Aid Already.
The society decided upon sending
special representative to Japan in
response to urgent demands for help
which had come from Yokohama.
There are at least 1000 stranded
Jewish emigrants between that city
Hardin, Manchuria, and most Of them
are women and children eager to join
the heads OF their families already
settled in the United States. 1t is es-
timated that several thousand more
are stranded at different points in
Siberia. A few weeks ago the society
cabled, thru Mr. Jacob ii. Schiff,
$1,000 to Mr.. b. w. Fleisher, publisher
of the Japan Advertiser, to meet the
immediate needs of those refugees
who. according to the report of the
department of state, were in danger
of being exploited. A temporary
home has been opened for them in
Yokohama and AR. Mason Is en-
powered to take such fprthe5 steps
as will assure their safety.
