JEWISH new YEAR
COMES NEXT WEEK
Rosh Hashanah to Be CeIebrat.
ed With Special Services in
Temple and Synagogues.

Rosh Hashanah. the Jewish New
Year. will be celebrated by Washing
ton Hebrews next Monday and Tues
day with special services in all the
LEGAL synagoguos and the Eighth
Street Tmple. Like all other Jewish
holy days the festival commences at
sunset on the preceding day. Ortho-
dox Jews observe two days, whereas
the Reform Jews keep only one day.
The festival OF the New Year is one
of the most important in the whole
Jewish calendar. 1t is the first of
series of holidays lasting nearly
month. 1t is likewise the beginning
of the Jewish year and ono of the
principal features is the blowing OF
the shofar or rams horn.
Apart from it's joyful and festive
nature, Rosh Hashanah Is rich in
moral import and significance. The
fact that it is the beginning of the
New Year lends 1t special sacredness.
1t Is the time of higher resolves, the
turning point of the year. The festi-
val is a reminder of the brevity OF
human existence, but it optimistically
stresses the doctrine that man, far
from being a. plaything in the hands
of fate. can realize his life's work II
he but take advantage of the fleet
ing moments.

Ground Privileges to Be Cur

TWENTY ESCAPE IN MONTH
mild" Patients May Still Visit
D. c., Despite City Clubs
Protest.

The staying OF Patrick J. Messett
by Vincent M. Hopkins, both patients
at st. Elizabeth's Hospital for the In
sane. the suicide Of another patient
by drowning in the Eastern Branch
OF the Potomac River, and the large
number OF escapes during the last
month have resulted in more strin-
gent ground rules being put into ef-
feet, according to a statement made
today by Or. Arthur p. Noyes, acting
head of the institution.
TWENTY ESCAPE IN MONTH.
1t was the twenty escapes from the
Institution. from August to Septem-
ber 2, which led to charges OF laxlty
against the hospital authorities by
the public safety group OF tho city
Club last Thursday, two days before
the murder and suicide OF two pa
tfents.
Despite the fact that more rigid
rules have been put into effect at the
hospital members Of the City, Club
declare that as long as patients are
permitted to visit the city there VIII
be menace to the public.
Officials OF st. Elizabeth's stated
this morning that patients who are
believed harmless by the asylum phy-
sicians will still be permitted the
freedom OF the grounds, and some or
those regarded as nearly recovered
will be permitted to go to the busi-
ness section of the city, or to Visit
friends and relatives in the District.
III this is done after the large
number OF escapes during the last
month, and in view of the tragedy OF
a few days ago, 1t will only consti-
tute a further menace to the citizens
OF the District" declared Claude w.
owen, chairman Of the City Clubs po-
lice committee.
-We have placed an additional
gateman on duty" said DR.. Noyes to-
day. II also have issued orders that
hereafter, when any patient escapes,
a written statement must immediate
ly be made to me by the person In
charge Of the ward. the auperintend-
ent in charge Of that service. and the
physician in charge. An immediate
investigation will follow.
Patients always have escaped
from the hospital. There has been
no greater proportion OF escapes In
the last month than there were
year ago. or at any other times ex-
cepts that particular attention has
been called to it," said DR.. Noyes.
WILL CONTINUE PRACTICE.
"We permit patients whp are nearly
recovered to 60 about the District.
We see nothing wrong in this, as the
patients are those who have been
found wholly trustworthy
Hopkins, who was shot through the
lung by George Z. CadeN, engineer
at the pumping station on the
grounds, while resisting recapture
after the staying Of Messett, is in the
prison ward OF the hospital DR..
Noyes said that he was resting easily,
with every indication of recovery.
Cadell has been freed of blame for
the shooting. No charge was placed
against him by the police, who held
him merely as a formality while the
circumstances were Investigated.
Mr.. owen will call another meet
ing of the City Club in a few days
TO arrange for an investigation.

PLAN SENATE FIGHT
0NC0MM|SS|ONERS
D. C. Suffrage Advocates Insist
One Be Republican and
Both Washingtonians.

Confirmation OF the two District
Commissioners to be appointed by
President Wilson will be fought be-
fore the Republican Senate, in No
vember. by the Harding and Coolidge
Republican League, No. /. IL both
arpointees are Democrats, or either Is
not a bona fide resident of Washing
ton.
This was announced today by Col
Winfield Jones, chairman OF the exec
utive committee of the Harding and
Coolidge League.
Ever since president Wilson has
been in the White House. he has paid
little attention to the wnwritten law
that one of the civilian Commission
ers shall be a Democrat and one a
Republican" said Colonel Jones. He
also has ignored the desire of the
citizens here that Washingtonians
receive such appointments. and, in
certain instances. appointed carpet
baggers
"If he appoints two Democrats now.
or any person not a bona fide resi-
dent of Washington, we intend to
urge every Republican member of the
Senate to hold up confirmation or re-
ject the nominations.
THE time has come when the Dis
trict of Columbia not only is certain
to get suffrage, but from now on the
people here intend to have voice in
the selection of their municipal Of
ficers.
Republicans are perfectly willing
TO have one good Democrat named foi
Commissioner, but u Republican must
be nominated for the other vacancy.
whoever Is appointed must favor
local and national suffrage in the
District or the National Press Com
mittee will fight the nominations.
One of the recent Commissioners was
an open enemy of District suffrage,
and the retiring Commissioner
Brownlow, sat on the fence when he
was asked TO aid In securing the ball
lot for nearly 100000 disfranchised
people OF the District"

PER D|EMPAY
FIGHT REVIVED
City Employees to Press Commis-
sioners for "Show Down" In
Wage Dispute.

The wage dispute between the per
diem city government employees and
the District Commissioners. which
some weeks ago threatened to develop
into q strike will be re-opened this
week. with representatives of the EN-.
pioyes more insistent than ever upon
y pay raise.
Failure of the Commissioners to
grant q material Increase In wages
will likely bring about strike threats
by the City Employees Association.
Hurley TO VISIT BOARD.
The District Commissioners have
promised to review the wage rcale
Immediately ssfter the Navy Depart
ment had revised the pay of their
employees. Joseph Hurley, represen-
tstive OF the District men. probably
will call on the Commissioners tomor-
row to ask them to make good their
promise.
During the latter part Of July. Dis
trict employees held two and three
meetings a week. each time to de-
drastic action was deferred In the
hope the Commissioners would re-
cede from their decision not to raise
wages.
Finally. through the efforts OF
conciliators OF the Department OF
Labor, the men decided to postpone
action until the Navy Department had
revised the wage scales and the Dis
trict Commissioner had been given
an opportunity to review the Dis
trict wage scale after the navy yard
revision.
COLONEL kUTZ IS ABSENT.
Absence OF Commissioner Charles
w. Kutz probably will necessitate
the postponing OF the wage revision
consideration until his return next
wee.
The difference in the wage scale OF
District and navy yard employees has
been rs cents a day. and with the
new navy yard scale the difference
will be about S5 cents. District en-
ployes contend they should receive
the same pay as navy yard men.
II the District Commissioners do
not revise the wage scale upward,
strike is probable. The District en-
ployes have waited for two months
and are insisting upon what they
term a show down"

barbarous sound, is merely serving to
arouse the savage passions.
"It has the same effect as the tom
tom and shouting Of the aboriginal
savages, serving equally well to
rouse the latent passions to a frenzy.
Jazz is but an outgrowth of the i'm
moral dances which have been caus-
ing so much harm in the world during
the past few years.

This sort of thing is undermining
the health of our people. Look at
the astounding number of young men
OF this country who were found
physically UNFIT for the army during
the war. Give up this jazz business
and get outdoors. Get some clean,
healthful exercise in the open air.

day who are throwing their youth and
energy away on jazz dancing and
such harmful 'pastimes' will certainly
regret it in their later years"

mentS Made.

Confident that registration at George
Washington University will reach the
1000 mark this year, officials of all
departments are enthusiastically pre-
pairing for the opening of the fall
term on Wednesday. September 30.
Much remodeiing and renovating of
the university buildings have been un-
dertaken during the summer and
everything will be in readiness for
the student body by opening day.
The 272 members OF the faculty grad
ually are returning TO the city from
their vacations and the deah,s of the
various colleges are in readiness for
the enrolling OF prospective students.
Courses in liberal arts, engineering,
architecture, education, law. medicine,
and pharmacy. will be offered this
year. In addition to the morning and
early afternoon classes, more than
200 classes will be held in the late
afternoon, between $40 and $50, for
the special accommodation Of Govern
ment workers and other students
who are employed during the day.
The law school is ready to enter its
new home, the four-story, brown
stone and brick front building at
1885 n street northwest, formerly the
home of the Department of Justice.
Dean Merton L. Ferson Is expecting
the largest registration in the history
of the school, the proportion of
women students being unusually
large. The school is rated by the
American Association of Law Schools.
of which it is a member, as one OF
the best in the country.
The medical school building at 1885
II street northwest has been re-
modelled during the summer so as to
provide additional room for labora-
tories. This building will be devoted
in the future exclusively to medical
and chemistry instruction. Hereto
fore, it has also housed the dental
school, which has been temporarily
discontinued until funds are available
for its maintenance upon a first class
basis.
The board OF trustees Of the uni
versity has decided to center all
stress at present upon maintaining
the high standard of the medical
school and extending It's facilities. In
connection with this policy it has
decided to appropriate $4,000 annual
ly for fve years from the genera!
university funds to assist the school
and to supplement the usual income
from tuition fees. A portion of this
fund will be.used to enlarge the fac
ulty and increase the salaries OF fac
ulty members. The medical school
now Is ranked in Glass A. along
with the best medical schools in the
country.
The decision to expand the medical
school was linked with a decision to
discontinue the dental school until an
endowment OF 100000 could be OBJ
tanned to maintain the school at the
very highest standard. A campaign to
raise such a fund probably will be
started this fall. The discontinuance
of the dental school is in line with
the university policy to maintain de-
partments at the highest standard in
the country or else discontinue them
