Directors of United Cam

Lag; Appeal by Rabbis;
Untermyer Sends $4,000

Those who are directing the Jewish
United Building Fund Campaign for
$10,O0O,000 yesterday sent wireless
message to Felix NJ Warburg, presi-
dent of the Federated Jewish lnstitu-
tions, who sailed for Europe yester-
day morning, assuring him the cam
paign would not lag.
Mile. Muri Silba gave a piano con-
cert at the Biltmore yesterday for the
benefit of the fund Fifty thousand
dollars were pledged by the audience.
The leaf tobacco and the leather trades
already have subscribed their quotas.
A committee of rabbis, consisting Of
Nathan Stern, Rudolph Grossman,
Maurice II. Harris, Moses Hyamson and
III. Z. Mendes, yesterday issued the fol-
lowing appeal:
"The building campaign makes di-
rect appeal to the conscience and the
generosity of every Jew in our city.
The House of Israel has always cared
for its own poor and needy.
Let the New York Jews be true to
our finest traditions. Thirty-o one insti-
tutions beg for enlarged and necessary
opportunities for service. Shall that
urgent need be unanswered? Let US
prove that the care Of the sick and the
destitute is a Jewish virtue. AS rabbis
we ask the unstinted cooperation for
all our coreligionists in this great WORK
for the upDullding and rebuilding of
hospitals, asylums, refugees, recrea-
tional and educational centres"
Samuel Untermycr, who is IL at his
home in Hastings, sent contribution
OF $40, 900 to the found yesterday, with
the following letter:
"When we consider the raising OF
funds in the method now pursued un-
der the Federation plan, as against the
old system Of having each institution
raise it's own funds, the tremendous ad-
vantage Of the Federated plan is il
Illuminated.
"The result will be to substantially
decrease the burden upon the contribu-
ton because of the greater economy
and consistency with which the work
is done. | desire, therefore, to ten
der my congratulations to the far
lighted, publc-spirited men of our
race who carried through the Fedora
lion plan and to express the hope
and expectation that this appeal for
unds will be largely oversubscribcd,
as it deserves to be-"

Antis Begin New
Crusade Against
Woman Suffrage
Joining Forces With South
ern Democrats i'll Fight to
Influence Legislatures to
Reject the Amendment

Hopes that the next President of the
United States would be an anti-suf-
fragist, as we'll as several other rosy
tinted visions for the future, were held
out to a little group of anti-suffragists
who gathered at 26S Madison Avenue
yesterday to plan the new crusade
against woman suffrage.
The snti-suffragists are far from ad-
mitting they were defeated by trifle
like the passage of tho woman suffrage
amendment by Congress. Mrs. James
w. Wadsworth, former president of the
anti-sutfrage association, and Senator
Wadsworth, who was recognized as one
of their chief advisers, have ceased
their activities for the movement since
June a. with the explanation that suf-
frage never can be permanently re-
jected once it is put before the state
Legislatures for ratification, and it was
useless to fight it further.
THAT is where we disagreed with
Senator Wadsworth," said Miss Mary
q. Kilbreath, newly elected national
president of the antisuffrage forces.
I'VE believe, and in this we are ad-
vised by some very wise statesmen,
that if the suffrage amendment is re-
Jected by thirteen states 1T IS thereby
killed.
Expects South's Aid
Meanwhile, the suFrsgists are
joining forces with the Southern Dem
ocr;ts, making states lights their chief
argument and the Southern Lcgisla-
lures the centre of their :.git against
the Federal amendment. There is talk
of impeaching the Representatives
from Texas who voted for the ratifica-
tion of the amendment in the face Of
ar adverse referendum vote of Texas
citizens Immediately preceding the leg
islative action. The next Texas cleo
ticn, according to Miss Kilbreath, will
hinge entirely upon the suffrage uues-
ton.
"The men Of this country are waking
up at last" she said. "'rhey do net
intend to have another Federal amend
ment forced upon them by controlled
Legislatures.
"The people Of this country do not
want woman suffrage, but the men on
top are either blackmailed or contro'.ed
i don't know which. They give the
orders to the men be'ow them, and the
states ratify. Every strong Presidcn-
tial candidate is an anti suffragist.

an unnamed woman maintained for the
last three years an organized system
of graft in which the victims were in
jured workmen, according to several
witnes sec who te tilted yesterday be-
fore Jeremiah T. Connor, special COM

mission, who confessed that he and two
other men, one of them an cmploye of
the commission. heeced injured workers
out of sums ranging from 500 to 1892
Five of the victims corroboratcd
HeYmans testimony and identified a
photograph purporting to that of Bar
ney Wayneck, formerly employed as a
clerk in the comm sion, as the man to
whom they paid the money.
Money Split Three Ways

collecting the money, split it into three
parts al the Office of the commission,
giving ono share to him and another
to Harry Jacobson, claim agent of

A tran cript of the testimony which
was taken in the Aldermanlc Chamber
at the City Hall yesterday, was for
warded last night to District Attorney
Swami by Commissioner Connor.
Herman swore he and jacobson,
knowing what would be awarded to in
iured workers under the provisions of
the wcrfmen's compensation law, would
inform Wayneck. Wayneck, he swow
would then interview either the in
jured workers or their relatives and
make an agreement with them to
split tifty-ffty" with him over what
they received above certain amount
The victims swore that when a man
whom they identified from photographs
as Wayneck called on them he repre-
scented that he could obtain more for
their injuries than they could. and on
these representations they made the
agreement to share with him.

Herman testified that he saw Jacob

Herman said Wayneck was always on
hand when the injured workmen ap~
peared at the Offices of the commission
for their checks and that he had always
sufficient money in his pockets to cash
the checks and see that he was paid on
the spot.
"Is it generally known around the
commission that he (Wa. neck) has
