SAYS JEWS THEMSELVES AR
RANGED POGROMS

The latest explanation of the.
massacres of Jews in Poland is that
the Jews themselves arranged these
pogroms in order to discredit Pol
and in the eyes of the world. This
explanation was offered publicly, in
the Polish Diet, by priest named
Dixon.
The Copenhagen Zionist Bureau
which reports this statement adds
that the Polish Government pro-
poses introducing bill for the ex-
pu1sion of all Russian Jews from
Poland. Such decree would be a
catastrophe for about 10000 people
who lived in Poland for decades,
speak Polish, and who have had a
great share in the country's indus
trial evolution:
The Copenhagen bureau also adj
vises the Zionist Organization Of
America that expulsion orders have
already been served upon 900 Jews.
All the Jewish post office and tele-
graph officials, numbering 400, have
been dismissed

Jesse w. LILIENTHAL,
NOTED JEWISH LEADER
OF SAN FRANCISCO,
PASSES AWAY

Jesse w. Llllenthal, president OF
the United Railroads and one of San
Franciscos most widely known and
most useful citizens, dropped dead
Yesterday while delivering an ad-
dress at luncheon Of ST. Ignatians
in the Colonial ball room of the St.
Francis Hotel.
1t was one of the most dramatic
deaths that has fallen with the
shock of a tragedy upon an entire
city. From the pinnacle of life
Astounding in service and philanthro-
by, apparently in the full prime and
vigor, the transition came without
warning.
Active and faithful in his own re-
ligion and one of the pillars of the
Jewish church in America, he was
engaged in aiding the Roman Cath
Ole church in one of it's worthy edu-
cational institutions when his voice
and hand were suddenly stilled.
AS the soul of this great Jew
passed on it's way it was blessed by
the prayers of five Catholic priests
kneeling about him.
Last Words Unity Plea
AS fitting conclusion to life
that had known no distinctions of
race, creed or religion, LilienthaPs
last words were a plea for social
unity and ribute to the Catholic
Church. His final utterance was
this:
AT a time Of great unrest and
discord, now apparent throughout
the world, | can think of no organi-
cation better prepared to combat
these conditions than the Roman
Catholic Church. This is time for.
one country, one flag, and one God"
He paused and a faint ripple OF
applause had just started when he
was seen to turn and look unsteadl-
ly behind him as if momentarily
confused. Then he crumpled slowly
and fell to the floor.
Doctors Charles Mohun and
Lewis X. Ryan, who were attending
the luncheon hurried to his side.
When by their attitude it became
known that it was more serious than
d fainting attack, Fathers D. J. Ka-
vanagh, P. J. Foote, Richard Glea-
son, D. O. Crowley and William Be-
land knelt and repeated prayers for
the dying.

nave DeeT asked why as Jew
| should engage in work for the
Roman Catholic church" he said. 81
turn to the words of the late Arch
bishop Riordan:
There is more than one path
leading to heaven
Lilienthal was the son of a Jewish
rabbi in Cincinnati. He spoke of
lifelong friendship between his ia
Their and Archbishop Purcell. He
also referred to the liberalizing in
fuence of the war, when in the Al
lied War Camp Community Service
"Catholics, Jews and Protestants
worked shoulder to shoulder for
America and the flag"
At the conclusion of his address
Lilienthal had planned to leave i'm
mediately to attend the funeral serv-
ices for Albert Langerman, secretary
of the Anglo and London Paris Ma
tional Bank, of which he was a di-
rector From those services Mrs
Lilienthal and his son, Jesse w.
Lilienthal Jr. were summoned. They
were Frustrated.
In recognition Of the death of
Lilienthal while engaged in their be-
half the St. Ignitians will suspend
all public activities for the rest of
the week in the drive that is being
made to secure funds for the COL
lege.
Lilienthal had been unsparing of
time and energy in any enterprise
for the welfare of his fellow-men.
He had served in all of the war &C
tivities, in many philanthropies and
charities, as leader of the Boy
Scout movement, as president of the
San Francisco Association for the
Prevention of tuberculosis, mem
Der of the probation committee for
the Juvenile Court, member of the
finance committee of the Red Cross,
on the Grove of Heroes committee,
on a multitude of special commit
tees appointed from time to time in
matters of public welfare.
Was 81 Years Old
Jesse w. Lilienthal was "a years
old and native of New York City.
He came to San Francisco in 1894
and engaged in the practice of law.
He was member of the firm of
Lilienthal, McKinstry & Raymond,
and in 1913 became president of the
United Railroads. He was engaged

praise for "Tenney service the lost car

the Apollo club at about . o'clock and
still jointly and individually in loud ac-
claim commenting "Tenney service The
fact that car was off the track at the
end Of the line seemed to have been no
good reason why the regular runs could
not have been made just the same by
impressing one additional ear and crew
into service or even allowing the Wash

make the trips 1t is this lack of en-
deavor on the part Of the road officials

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Comments on nTenney Service

Editor, Times; Members Of the. Vim
citia club are unqualifedly recommend
ing above service this morning, for safe
ty, speed and comfort. Inquiry regard
ing their enthusiasm for this service
brings forth an explanation of their en-
joyabe trip TO Montpelier last evening
Tor their first intercity match with the
Apollo club. Members of the pool and
billiard teams boarded the p. m. car
from Barre (which was running about 30
minutes late, as is customary when there
is slight fall of snow on the tracks,
and rode as far as the halfway switch
on Aldrich farm. Members of the whist
team who were to take the Gao car.
after waiting till about 1880 and no car
appearing, 'phoned the carbarn and got
the information that a car was off the
track at the end Of the State street line.
After considerable urging and being told
that about so men were waiting at Barre
who were supposed TO be at the Apollo
club in Montpelier by o'clock the man
at the carbarn finally instructed the
Washington street car crew TO take the
crowd to the intercity switch, where they
were transferred TO the o'clock car out
Of Barre. This did not help matters
much, as this car crew said they could
60 no further, as they had no orders. {"
After waiting some time and remarks
being passed by the Vincitia members on
the weather, scenery and the value of
the hay in the "Tenney hay stacks" and
incidentally praising "Tenney service, ="
finally the conductor condescended to
tramp half mile to a farmhouse where
he could get phone connection with the
carbarn and ask if the car and passen-
gers were to remain on that switch all
night. He finally got consent from the
Jumper at the barn to run the car to the
carbarn switch, where there was another
stop of about half an hour. Even at
this headquarters point no information
