After IA months in Siberia, Cap.

off in New York on his way back to
England. to acquaint leaders of Ameri-
can Jewry with conditions there. Here
is his story;
THE plight of Jewish refugees in
Siberia, who have fled from Russia.
is pitiful. Thousands of these ref
ugees, barely existing, are found thru
out Siberia. They are absolutely des-
titute,. as they We're forced to leave
everything behind when they escaped
from Russia. Many of them are to
be found in yladivostock, where their
misery is appalling.
Il naturally came in contact with
Jewish relief work in my travels thru
Siberia. As far as IL extends, it is
good but it is pitifhlly small for the
amount of work there is to he done.
Siberia is u vast country. which
renders relief work difficult, and
which makes any aid seem infinites

scholar, latest book, entitled Mini

says:
"Since the death Of tie great essay
ist, Knrl TIillebrand, who commanded
four European languages in the most
comprehensive meaning of that term
Georg Brandes is for us the most hon
ored embodiment of that holy idea,
.European.' which the last five years
have vainly endeavored to tear from
our consciousness. Europe is the real
home of the Copenhagen critic, Eu-
ropean is his culture, his conscience.
Ills book is an authentic document
proving his universal-i;uropean inter
csts and sympathies, To almost every
civilized nation of onr outraged part
6f the world study is dedicated.
.'Brandes draws the gigantic profile
of the great Napoleon. the leonine head
of Garibaldi, the pain-distorted coun-
tenance of the alleged murderer of
children, Giles de Rails, tile conquer
ing beauty of the noble-courtesan Au-

and stirring up quite a., smoke, did
not notice the additional smoke
which came from the burning waste.

was not even scorehed. Had the

S. P. Employe
Fatally Injured

j. j. Hobart, an employe at the
Southern Pacific roundhouse. met a
shocking death yesterday afternoon
at about 4s30 o'clock, when he was
crushed by an engine. and injured
SO badly that death resulted few
minutes after the accident occurred.
Mr.. Hobart was employed in fir
ing the engines in the roundhouse
previous to their going out. At this
time he had stepped out from a
moving engine, but before he had
time to get off the step the engine
reached the door, which is only wide
enough to allow it to pass thru. He
was caught between the door casing
and the tender of the engine, and
was terribly crushed.
The injured man was removed
from his precarious position and
hurried to the Sanitarium, but death
resulted just as he arrived there.
Mr.. Hobart had been a resident of
Ashland for about year when his
wife, Rev. Elva Hobart, was called
to the pastorate OF the Free Metho-
dist church. For a short time he
served as extra man on the police
force, and had been employed in the
round house for the past three
months. The body will be shipped
to Moscow, Idaho, tomorrow for bur-
fal Surviving Mr.. Hobart are his
wife, Rev. Elva Hobart, and one
daughter.
