floor of the old National Hotel build
ing, which has recently been con-
verted into apartments. The fire orig
mated in the flat occupied by Mr.. and
Mrs. Daniel Boone, and rapidly
spread to the other apartments. Their
baby daughter and Mrs. Boone's
young sister were alone in the flat
at the time, and awakened barely in
time to escape being burned to death.
The ground floor Of the building,
which is occupied by the H. Fl. Pieper
Co., and the Lee Jones barger shop,
was slightly damaged by water. The
building is owned by Mrs. ]. W..
Barnes and the total damage amounts
it is thought, to something over
$4,000, partially covered by insur-
ance. Many other occupants of the
building lost clothing and other valu-
ables. Seven rooms were practically
ruined.

ifl1 when the trial Of viii Lockett,
the negro charged with the murder Of
little Geneva Hartman was called
Monday morning, excitement ran high
and crowd estimated at $1,000 par
AIDED the streets near the court house
and when an attempt was made to
storm the building and lynch the
negro Ave persons were killed and
scores injured. The authorities did
everything in their power to preserve
order without avail, and it seemed
that the mob was determined to take
the negro, regardless Of cost, until
about o'clock 400 troops from the
First Division, stationed at Camp
Zachary Taylor arrived on a special
train and took charge Of the situa-
ton. The city was at once placed
under martial law and the stern over
sea veterans soon had the situation
well in hand and order was restored
within few hours.
The trial of the negro was very
brief and within 35 minutes after
Judge Kerr had raped for order the
negro had been sentenced to die in the
electric chair and the date for cleo
trocution set for March 18th at Ed
dyville.
The crime, with which the negro
was charged and convicted was the
most brutal in the history of Fayette
county and Monday was the most ex-
citing day ever experienced in the his
tory of Lexington. Little Geneva
Hardman, the murdered child, was
known and related in this county hav-
ing been born at Wades' Mill in Clark
county.
Excitement ran high in this city
yesterday and many from here went
to Lexington. The occurrence was
very deplorable one, and the at
tempt to take the negro from the au-
thorities is indeed to be regretted.
One of the parties injured was w.
j. Reese, father of Mrs. Jack Owings,
of this county, who was shot through
the hip.

Pool was too long in the American
rabbinate to fear cowardly assaults.
If the Jews of America are not in
formed on passing Jewish events,
how can we crystalline public opinion?
And what better way tC represent it
intelligently than through the press?
Instead of Jewish weeklies in the
larger cities of America, struggling
against heavy odds to maintain them
selves, we should have properly sup
ported, and if need be subsidized,
newspapers and a national organ, to
state our case. Every Jewish house
hold has it's weekly visitor, Jew
ish newspaper, containing world in
formation about our people. AS we
guide the destinies of Israel in this
crisis so shall the Jew live for many
years to come. If we are alert to the
dangers in Poland, in Palestine and
Russia, much suffering during the
next half century will be averted and
saved. The Jewish newspaper, with
proper news facilities, will keep in
and give publicity to kill them. The
Jewish newspaper will spread the
truth about friends and foes as no
other agency can. Support the Jew
ish newspaper.

WHAT THE JEWISH NEWSPAPER
is DOING.
By DIR. Rudolph I. Coffee.

Thoughtless people believe that a
Jewish weekly exists chiefly to chron-
icle the marriages and deaths of the
preceding week. Little do they real
ize the potential power and Importance
of the Jewish press, if properly sup
ported by increased circulation and
advertisements. Never before in the
history of the world have such press
ing Jewish problems crowded one an
other for solution. Yet what infor-
nation have we on the subject? Take
the recent uprising in Jerusalem dur
ing Passover. The daily newspapers
devoted a few lines featuring the
sensational angle, with no regard to
the facts nor the underlying causes.

Tending himself! Fortunately, DR..

Beneath the olive trees.

That Ruth and Boaz trod,
And see the place where Jacob slept
And dreamed his dream of God.

AS Sabbath shadows fall,
And pray for Zion and her Hope
Before The Temple Wall.
O little Land of Long Ago,
Beneath the smiling skies,
Where old men weep for Judah's

Another shrine will rise.
Their sons will build Jerusalem
With blood and sweat and pain:
Rejoice, rejoice, O little Land,
For we come home again!

will be liberty and equality of oppor-
tunity for all, Jews and Arabs alike,
The Jews will do their utmost to win
the friendship and the confidence of
the natives, although it is quite likely
that the latter, egged on by their
chauvinits, demagogs, and perhaps
other mischief-makers from among
the traditional enemies of the Jews,
will not be so eager to reciprocate,
and will perhaps now and then as
sumo an attitude of sullen hostility
toward the Jews.
The ultimate solution of this prob
lem of an entente cordiale between
the two elements, therefore, will be
found only in complete assimlla-
ton and absorption, an assimilation
of the Arabs with the Jews. The
Arabs will not be able to resist the
superior culture of the Jews, their
superior system of education, their
industrial and commercial predomi-
nance. Even as far as religion is con-
cerned the Arabs who are monothe-
lists, and adhere to many religious
customs and practices that they have
in common with the Jews, such as
circumcision, abstention from swine's
flesh, and the ritual slaughtering of
animals, will find a transition to the
religious life and faith of the Jews
quite easy.
The absorption of the Arabs of
Palestine into the Judaic national
body will only be repetition of what
has happened to others in ancient
and medieval times. 1t is now the
generally accepted conclusion of all
modern students of the history of the
Bible that the original tribes that
came from the desert into Palestine
and subsequently formed the people
of Israel were by no means homo
geneous, who, as the later traditions
would have it, were all descended
from a common Israelitish ancestor.
In the course Of their migration
toward Palestine, and during their
expeditions of conquest and settle
ment, clans and tribes forming an
earlier stratum of population, such
as Kenites and Calebites, were an
nexed and incorporated into the Is
raelitish group. Nay, even the Ca
NANTES and kindred tribes, in spite
of the repeated Biblical injunction
that they were to be dispossessed and
destroyed, were largely assimilated
and absorbed.
This process of absorption Of nom
Israelitish elements must have con-
tinued throughout the existence of
the nation on it's own soil, in spite of
the counteracting measures frequent
ly taken by such Puritanic reformers
as Ezra and Nehemiah. The very
fact that jealous guardians of the
purity of the race were often con-
strained to take drastic measures
against admixtures, shows how prev
alent these were. AS late as the
time of John Hyrcanus, about 100
B. c., the nation of the Idumeans in
the south of Palestine were forcibly
converted to Judaism and annexed.
1t subsequently gave Judea the House
of Herod The inhabitants of several
cities in northern and eastern Pales-
tine, conquered by Alexander Jan
means, the populations of which were
a mixture of natives and Greeks, were
forced by Alexander to embrace Ju-
daism.
More striking, however, is the fact
that outside of Palestine, and even
after the Jews had ceased to be an
independent nation, converts were
Il III

ity among them, which in its essence
is compromise between Juda ism and
paganism. It was only after the
first Christian emperor, Constantine,
and his successors enacted the Sc
verest measures against Jewish pros
elyting, that these conversions grad
ually ceased in the Roman Empire.
While unable to cope with the po-
litical power of rising Christianity,
Judaism found in the sixth century G.
E. another fertile field in the desert
home of the ancestors of the very
people who are now it's unfriendly
neighbors in Palestine, namely among
the tribes of Arabia. Several Arab
tribes were converted to Judaism, and
only Muhammed's warlike exploits on
behalf of his new religion prevented
of Islamic.
Still more interesting is the story
of the Khazars, "a nation of Finnish
origin" as Graetz describes them,
related to the Bulgars, Avars, Ugurs
or Hungarians," who had their King
dom on the Volga near the Caspian
Sea. The rulers as we'll as the ma
jority of the inhabitants of that king
dom were converts to Judaism. This
kingdom came to an end in the
eleventh century, prey to Russian
and Byzantian conquerors. "The
remnants of the Khazars in the
Crimea," says Dubnow, "who pro-
fessed Judaism were in all likelihood
merged with the native Jews, consist
ing partly of Rabbanites and partly
of Karaites."
More startling even is the story Of
the religious movement that arose in
the second half Of the fifteenth een=
fury in Moscow, as a result of
secret propaganda of Judaism known
as the "Judaizing heresy." accord
ing to the Russian chroniclers,'
writes Dubnow, "the originator Of the
hefesy was the learned Jew Skharia
(Zachariah), who had emigrated with
a number Of coreligionists from Kiev
to the ancient Russian city of Novgo-
rod. Profting by the religious UNI

new sect, called the Strigolniki had
arisen in the city, which abrogated
the church rites and went to the point
of denying the divinity Of Christ
Zechariah got in touch with several
representatives Of the orthodox cler-
gy, and succeeded in converting them
to Judaism. The leaders of the
Novgorod apostles 81 went to
Moscow, and converted number of
the Greek orthodox there. * IT"
The 'Judaizing heresy' was soon in
trenched among the nobility of Mos
cow and in the court circles" While
the Greek church took drastic meas
ures to uproot this heresy, burning
some of the apostates at the stake,
and casting others into prison, it is
quite likely that some escaped and
ultimately united with the Jewish
fold. When so many Russian Jews
at the present time show all the char
acteristic features of the pure Mus
covite, cross between Slav and Tar
tar, may we not detect in them the
descendants, pure or mixed, of Kha-
Ear and Muscovite proselytes?
The "Judaizing heresy" in Russia,
however, does. not end there. Toward
the end Of the 18th century the Rus
sian sect Of the Subbotniki arose, who
may be described as converts to Old
Testament Judaism, and who, in spite
of the most ruthless repression on the
part of church and state, have been
