GERMAN WRITER SAYS
KAISER MAKES GRAVE
ERROR REGARDING JEWS

Amsterdam, Jan. 1s.---A sensation
has been caused In Germany by the
publication of an article written by
Herr Cohen Refs, member OF the
reichstag and an adherent of the ma
jority Socialist party. ADVISING Cor
many and Turkey to issue a deciara-
ton in favor of the establishment
of a Jewish national home land In
Palestine, along the lines OF the IA
nous British declaration. which he
endorses in the strongest terms.
Herr Cohen Refs pronounces the
British declaration as q move of the
greatest political wisdom. He de-
plores the lack Of political foresight
on the part OF Germany and Turkey
In permitting England to take the
lead in the response to tho Jewish
demand, and even II they should both
make the declaration he proposes
they will not now derive the greatest
political advantage from such a
course, as II will come too late 10
win the sympathy of the Jewish peo-
ple for the cause OF the central en-
pires. But. at least. he points out,
It will help to moderate the anfagon-
ism Of the Jews OF Russia. whole

fer with the administrative board con-
corning the important question of the
use of the First Regiment armory
during the week that had previously
been designed as the week for the
Richmond Autom obiIe Dealers show.
The committee waited upon the board
yesterday morning and the latter clear
ly indicated It's position In the matter
as being one of answering loyalty
and strict obedience TO the orders Of
the fuel administrator.
II was agreed that the automooiie
show could be held as planned. since
the armory is comfortable under all
conditions. and no discomfort lie anti
cipated on account of the curtailment

Good Roads Bill.
All of the bills pertaining 10 good
roads were called up. and. after two
OF them had been ordered to their en-
grossment. the vote was reconsidered
and all of them were made the spe-
cial order for Tuesday at 1850 o'clock.
These bills are the same that were
presented by the commission which
studied the highway system and made
recommendation Tor an elaborate
and comprehensive plan of roads for
the state. This provides for an issue
OF bonds TO the amount of sac, 100000
for this purpose and for working all
the convicts and all the jailbirds on
the highways. There is little ques-
ton that the bills will be agreed to
in the senate with slight amendment.
Treasurer Smith Clear.
Senator p. H. Drewry, Of Peters
burg, chairman of the economy and
efficiency board. received a telegram
from Treasurer Smith, OF Cumberland
county. asking the source of the infor-
nation contained In the report that he
was short in his accounts more than
$4,000. Mr.. Smith was indignant
and well he might be-until he had
read the full and complete report.
The language of the report is that
AN audit" had been made In several
counties and a shortage had been dis
covered. but the commission did not
think IL necessary to mention the
year. II so happens that the audit for
Cumberland county had been made
long before Mr.. Smith took Office.
Senator Drewrv assured him that the
report did not have him in mind, but
what had been shown In that county a
few years ago.
State Carry Insurance.
Senator Conrad offered bill which
provides for the state carrying its own
insurance on all state buildings and
providing for the creation OF fund.
from the appropriations for their sup
port, to meet possible losses that may
result from Ares. II has been known
for a long time that the matter was
under contemplation. due to the fact
that the requirements OF the inssr-
