The Hebrew Sheltering and Immi-
grant Aid Society Of New York last
week, held its Eleventh Annual Meet
ing. In more respects than one, this
meeting was tn emost important which
the Society has held since the outbreak
Of the War.
Government officials and member
of the Senate were represented at this
meeting. Both Assistant Secretary Of
Labor, Louis Post, in whose hands,
lies the execution Of the immigration
laws Of the country, and Senator King,
a member Of the Senate Committee on
immigration, who takes part in the
making Of these laws, gave assurances
|. that the new laws on immigration
would be made and interpreted as mild
as possible, and in favor Of desirable
immigrants.
Senator King praised the Jewish
immigrants for their good qualities,
and blamed the immigrant-baiters,
saying that they were responsible for
many undesirable things in America.
The most important features Of the
meeting was the presentation Of III,
two delegates, Mr.. Leon Komaiky and
Mr.. Massel, who are TO leave shortly
for Poland as representatives Of the
Society. The significance of their trip
lies in the fact that they will espec-
tally help those families in Pouand
whose bread-winners are in America,
so that these families may be brought
to America quickly and without red
tape and formalities which such
journey at present entails.
These Representatives Of the He
brew Sheltering and Immigrant Aid
Society will be able to supply the Am
erican Consul there with all the docu-
ments are necessary, so that he can
quickly wise the passports Of the fam
lilies, who are to come to this country.
At the present moment, such work
is Of the greatest Importance. That
from another announcement made at
the meeting, to the effect that the He
brew Sheltering and Immigrant Aid
Society has acquired new building at
a cost Of sS25,OO0. This is the former
Astor Library building, which will

to the Jewish immigrant. .
The great Jewish philanthhop,st
was too modest to mention that he had
only recently reliquished to the I'm
migrant Aid Society the heavy mort
gage which he had on its building, and
that this had made it possible for the
Society to enlarge its scope now in its
new building.
The Society's income during the
past year was over 1927, 900, while its
expenditures amounted to 100000.

TRAPPED BY FIRE IN A NINE

in the Shaft.

Darlington, Ky-Five Of sixteen
men trapped by fire in the Arnold
mine near here were taken out dead.
They were victims of suffocation.
The other eleven entombed miners
were rescued and are in a dangerous
condition.
Mine rescue teams worked desper-
ately for hours to save the lives OF
the miners who had been trapped in
the burning mine. The men were
trapped three miles back in the mine
when fire broke out the other day
and cut off their escape from the en-
trance.
After all other attempts at rescue
had failed, a tunnel was dug around
the burninc entry and a start made
for the miners. The rescue party, af-
ter forging into the mine for a good
distance, however, was forced to come
out because Of the denseness Of the
smoke and gas. Later, another rescue
party WIS organized and, Srmed with
gas masks, finally reached the en-
tombed men.

HUGE sum IN MAIL ROBBERY
Bandits Escape After Holding Up and
Lootins Car of Registered Pack
ages at Omaha.

Omaha, Neb.-What is regarded as
the biggest train robbery in history OK
the United States mail service was
pulled off between Omaha and Cou1-
ell Bluffs the other night, and the
police of Omaha and Council Bluffs,
the sheriffs Of each county, postal in
spectors, private detectives and 9th
ers, in swarms, are searching for the
robbers, who seem to have disappear
ed completely, taking their loot with
them. According to reports in Off
cial circles, but which cannot be Veri-
fled, the robbers secured sum vari-
ously estimated at near a million, in
gold, currency, bonds and Jewels.
John Shafer, a captain Of police,
said that in his opinion the amount
taken will reach I million dollars. He
indicated that he had received his IN
formation from postal authorities
Other estimates ranged much high
er and IS low as $4,000.
The train robbed was the through
fast mail from San Francisco to New
York The particular car that was
looted was the treasure car Of the
train and carried the registered mail
from the Pacific to the Atlantic.
A portion of the loot was a treasury
shipment of gold from the United
States mint in San Francisco to the
United States Treasury in Washing
ton.

partment, somebody on the inside. WIS

States" says Capt. Charles Shaffer of
Council Bluffs police.
Government officials working on the
case are making no statements. The
amount Of loot secured will not be
known for perhaps thirty days, postal
officials working on the case say. The
car WIS made up in San Francisco
last Wednesday and consisted Of ship
ments Of money, stocks and bonds
from many different California towns
and cities, addressed to banks in prac-
tically all the cities Of the Atlantic
coast, as well as in Chicago, in addi-
ton to the great gold shipment from
the shippers or the consignees begin
to arrive, the department has no way

ments.
