NOT AGAINST ANNEXATION
So Declares Attorney Ben Stewart,
Spokesman for Cemetery As
ISOLATION Brady Talks.

That the city commission aid the
Jewish residents of this city in OBJ
tanning a new site for their ceme-
terry pending a settlement OF the
controversy over the establishing
of a cemetery in the territory that
it is proposed to annex tn the city
of Rock Island at the June school
election was the result of the meet
ing Of a committee representing
the Hebrew Cemetery association
with the city commission at its
regular meeting in the city hall
yesterday afternoon.
Ben A. Stewart, attorney, speak
in behalf of the cemetery asso-
citation, put his views plainly be-
fore the commission. Mr.. Stewart
spoke in a manner that left no
doubt in the minds of the commits
sion regarding the sentiment of
the Jewish people of the city, while
at the same time he did not leave
the impression that he thought the
Jewish people were being shown
discrimination in the matter.
THE Jewish people of this city
must have a cemetery to bury their
dead" declared Mr.. Stewart.
Every time we have secured
site for the establishing of a GEM
etery we have met with opposi-
ton. What we would like done in
the present controversy is not
settlement that would gam us our
point at the cost of the general
loss of the city, but a way out in
which the Jewish people OF this
city can get a plot of their own to
bury their dead We think, and
know. we are entitled to that much
consideration
Mr.. Stewart, the Jewish people
realize that there is some sensi-
BILE opposition to the proposed
cemetery and that a burying
ground within the city limils is
reasonably Objectionable to some.
But at the present time the only
place where the Jewish people can
bury their dead is in Davenport
And we feel that we should have
burying ground of our own"

he stated that the Jewish people
did noi want to do anything that
would hurt Rock Island.
we are for the annexation of
the territory proposed and would
always vote for it, because it would
mean a better city" said Mr.
Brady. IF it is a question of a
GENE tery and no annexation, then
we are against keeping the ceme-
terry in the proposed plot But if
this controversy means that in the
end the Jewish people are denied
a cemetery to bury their dead,
shen we will oppose all objection
made in that. direction"
Mayor Harry Schriver. who was
a close listener to both Mr.. Stew
art and Mr.. Brady, voiced his opin-
ion on the matter, informing the
committee that the city wanted the
Jewish people to have a cemetery
of their own.
@They are entitled to cemetery
of their own" said Mayor Schri-
yer. The Jewish people of this
city have proven they are entitled
to anything reasonable they ask

When Chairman Campbell called

American citizen and the maltreatment
of his wife in Mexico, the ambassador
said this did not involve relations be-

in conditions in Mexico, the ambassa-

agencies by which the United States
was better able to transact business
with Mexico had been established

asked Chairman Campbell. The am
bassador replied that he would refer
the committee to the list of Americans
who had been killed.
