JEWS HAVE STORMY MEETING
$5 Charge to shopkeepers Causes
Disturbance.

The question whether the League of
Orthodox Jews has been charging IS
for a card which East Side shop
keepers thought permitted them to
keep open on the Christian Sabbath
upset the carefully planned procedure
for a meeting at the McAlpin Hotel
yesterday to form citizens civic
board to fill the purpose of a social
service clearing house.
Harry Schlact of the Downtown
Business Mems Association presided
and said he understood the persons
who were collecting the S. bills were
the ones who recently complained that
some of the shopkeepers were observ-
Ing neither the Jewish nor the Chris
ian Sabbath. Those complaints caused
q police raid in the district two weeks
ago.
During the discussion a resolution
was offered "condemning the activities
of any self-constituted body in prey

fore a vote was taken the suggestion
was made that perhaps the money was
paid merely for membership in the
"Aguidas Am Israel" which is the
Hebrew name of the League of Ortho-

aside.

Russian Women Organize

Russian women OF this country are or

the project Saturday night In Brooklyn.
The sponsor OF the movement to con-
tinue the work Of Nine. Botchkarevas is
premiere danseuse at the court OF Gear
Nicholas. but now living with her hus-
band and two children at 1898 Fulton
avenue, The Bronx
Realizing that unless some effort Is
made to counteract the German in
fluence exerted on Russia that country
soon will become vassal state of the
Central Empires, Nine. Prochoroff
gathered about her a number of Russian
women living in this city for the pur-
pose OF organizing the movement. The
meeting was arranged and held at 21T3
Pacific street in the home of Mrs. Paul
inc Mucher, president OF the Russian
Ladies Slavonic Society.
John Prochoroff. owner and managing
editor OF the Russian weekly Rodnoyd
Rcch, the husband Of Mrs. Prochoroff,
opened the meeting. He spoke fervently
Of the need of rescuing Russia from the
Teutons. and told graphically of the
heroic sacrifice of the Russian women
who answered the call to arms when the
Russian democracy was crumbing be-
fore the onrush Of the Teuton hordes.
When the call for volunteers was
made all rose in eager rivalry to be
among the first to enlist.
The sponsors of the new battalion will
make an effort to enroll at least 5000
women, and they will invite Nine. Botch-
karevas. who Is in this country, to help
them organize and 10 lead them. Sec
rotary of War Baker will be asked to
assign Regular Army officers to train
them.
The battalion hopes to organize as q
militant body, its members to be uni
formed and equipped with rifles and
taught military tactics. Should circum-
stances prevent the use of the battalion
for military purposes. its organizers pro-
pose to convert IL into Red cross unit
for service on the battlefield.
The women are determined to do some
thing in the field and save Russia from
the clutches of the Central Empires. and
their efforts will not stop with recruit
ing the women. but they will endeavor
to raise an army of 100, 900 Russian men
hin this country.
Among the women who volunteered
beside Mrs. Prochoroff and Mrs, Mucher
