I. N. VAIL DIES IN NEW YORK
 EARLY TODAY
(Continucu from Page One)

Morristown. and for a time studied medicine, but becoming interested in the telegraph, he learned to op- crate Inc key and went West in 1888 as an operator for the Union Pacific Railroad at Pine Bluffs, Wyo. Through the friendship of Gen. Gr2nvillc NJ. Dodge, chief engineer of the Union Pacific, Vail was ap- pointed clerk in the Railway Mail Service. At that time the Railway Mail Service was in an undeveloped ;taee. :nd Vail prepared special studies on the question of distribu- ton and dispatching of the mail. which brought him quick recognition from the authorities at Washington.
 In 1885 he resigned from the or ieinal company and became the first President of the newly formed Amer ican Telephone and Telegraph Con- pary, which at first made spec ialty of only long-distance com mi,nication. but which, in 1900, ac- ouired the property Of the American Bel Telephone Company.
 In 1890. Mir. Vail retired from tho telephone business for many years He purchased a large farm at Lyndonvile, Vt, and interested himself in agriculture. In 1893 he made a trip to South America, and saw the possibilities of the Argen- tine Republic. He built an electric power station there, purchased a horse-car line in Buenos Aires, con- verted it into a trolley line, formed a company and equipped it with the best cars from the United States.
 The company was composed large ly of British capitalists and for some time Mir. Vail had his head quarters in London. When he re- tired from these activities in 1904, he returned to Vermont, but three years later he was again called upon to enter the telephone field as Presi- dent of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company, of which he had been the first president.
 In 1910 when the telephone in- terests succeeded in securing the controlling power in the Western Union, MT. Vail became President of both these great corporations. He resigned as President of the Western Union, however, when, on April 15, 1914, the telephone com pany disposed of it's interests in the Western Union because of tEreaten- ed action by the government against the combination of these competing utilities.

vOLSTEAD ACT DOES NOT END
 BONE DRY LAW
Judge Jennings Holds That Prohibition Enforcement Act
 Does Not Repeal Other

That the Volstcad Prohibition Act to enforce the Prohibition Amend ment to the Constitution does not suDercede the Alaska Bone Dry law in the Territory is the opinion given this morning by Judge Robert w Jennings, of the District Court. in denying new trials to John Wagner and Arthur Abatte, who were prose cuted and found guilty of viola ton of the Territorial law in re- gards to intoxicating uiquor.
 The Volstead Act is not nearly as drastic as the Alaska law It for bids the manufacture and sale Of intoxicating liquor, but it does not make it crime for one to have liquor in his possession. It fixes $500 fine as the maximum punish, ment. and does not allow jail or prison sentences. Under the Alaska aw the possession of the liquor is III offense, and the punishment may be fine of $1,000 with imprison- ment added. a
 Judge John R. Winn asked for ? lew trial for Wagner and Abatte on the grounds that they should have been represented under the terms oi
 he Volstead Act
 Judge Jennings, after having the question under advisement for sev. ,ral days. held that while the Vol stead Act applied to the Territory it did not repeal the Alaska law The -Volstead act specifically states that where other legislation does not conflict it shall remain in force.
 Judge Jennings in giving his op- tnion said that he would like tc see case appealed so that an opin. ion might be received from the Cir cult Court of Appeals.

The Jewish monitor. (Fort Worth-Dallas, Tex.) 191?-1921, 1920-09-10

The Jewish Monitor is glad to have
the opportunity Of presenting the like
ness of Dr. David Lefkowitz. The doc
tor comes to Dallas with the best
wishes of those whom he leaves behind
in Dayton, after twenty years of SER
vice there. We reprint here an editor
ial of the Journal of Dayton, which
tells something of the standing of
Rabbi Lefkowitz in his old commun-
ity:
Dayton Paper in Editorial Lauds DIR.
David Lefkowitz.
Dr. David Lefkowitz, rabbi of Tenn
pie Emanuel, has returned to Dallas
with his family from Dayton, Ohio.
An editorial in the Dayton Journal
commenting on the departure of DR..
Lefkowitz is as follows:
at has fallen to the lot of few cit
liens of Dayton or of any other large
city, on their departure to another
field of activity, to receive the extern
sive honors that have been heaped
upon Rabbi David Lefkowitz in the
last few days by his fellow citizens.
"The series Of receptions, dinners
and public gatherings, to say nothing
of the hundreds-yes, thousands-of
farewell handshakes and God-speeds
in which the entire city has shared,
terminated in a monster community
dinner party at the Hotel Miami last
night, given in honor of the rabbi and
his family, attended by hundreds Of
citizens from every phase Of life in
Dayton. The clergy was abundantly
represented in that unique gathering.
So was business. So was labor. It was
in every sense representative throng
one to be honored by which is, in
deed, an honor. Seldom is a gathering
The Jewish monitor. (Fort Worth-Dallas, Tex.) 191?-1921, 1920-09-10

Of that character and that magnitude
seen in in this or any other city.
"Dr. Lefkowitz leaves Dayton after
more than twenty years of citizenship
and service in Dayton to become the
pastor of large Jewish congregation
in Dallas, Texas.
at is trite to say that we regret to
see him 90. If the rabbi ever had any
doubt Of the popular esteem in which
he is held in Dayton the events Of the
last few weeks assuredly have served
to convince him. 1t isn't merely the
congregation that he has served so
long and so faithfully that will miss
him. 1t isn't merely the Red Cross, Of
which he has been the distinguished
head, nor yet the social service work
that always has engaged his earnest
attention. Nor is it merely any one Of
half dozen other community activi-
ties that we might mention. Rabbi
Lefkowitz has belonged to the entire
community-a community that he has
served long and well. He will be miss
ed from our midst as only an extreme
ly few other citizens Of Dayton posi-
bly, could be missed.
"The Journal feels very certain that
it expresses the sentiment Of the en-.
tire city when it wishes the rabbi ana
his excellent family the greatest
measure Of success in their new field,
and we wish him particularly to re-
member that Dayton's latchstring al
ways hangs out for him."
Rabbi Lefkowitz is a welcome addi-'
ton to the Jewish ministry Of Texas.
We predict for him successful career
here as he had in the North. We must
not, by the way overlook Mrs. Lefko.

herself as one Of the most brilliant Of
rabbis' wives.

L. G. Gilbert, Fort Worth merchant,

ty couples were present and delicious
refreshments were served during the
intermission.

The relief trip was filled with count
less hardships, the members at times
facing death in their efforts to reach
the suffering and starving. At one
time, all four were arrested and i'm
prisoned for an alleged offense pun
ishable with the extreme penalty. But
their American citizenship saved them
On another occasion they were impris-
oned at Kobrin because they had fail
ed to secure the proper passports at
Warsaw. One member of the party
was held in Jail week, Gilbert and
the other members being freed almost
Immediately.
All went well with the party from
New York to Warsaw But at the lat
ter city their tribulations began.
Marks Carried in Bags.
With seven sacks and several satch-
els filled with marks, they started the
dangerous journey from Warsaw to
Kobrin. The truck bed split in the
middle before the journey was half
over. A military truck passed and the
Americans with their bags Of money
asked to be hauled to Kobrin, the dri-
YER agreed to transport. When they
arrived at Kobrin the driver left them
and the Americans were arrested.
After repeated questioning, they
found that to ride a military
vehicle is an offense punishable by
death. They could not tell the name of
the driver and escaped the penalty
themselves because they were Amer
lean citizens. They were kept in jail
several days.
Many Refugees Coming.
AS a result Of the efforts of the
four Americans making up the COM
mittee and the expenditure Of 100000
subscribed in America for relief in Po-
land, Gilbert estimates that D.
900 Jews will be able to procure pass
ports to America. He brought over
eight Of his own relatives, six neph-
ews and nieces and two cousins. They
will arrive in Fort Worth Saturday.
Mrs. D. Blume, wife of D. Blume OF
Fort Worth, will also arrive.
"The suffering is so great that you
cannot even imagine it, Gilbert said
Wednesday. Gall the clothing the peo-
pie in Warsaw, Brest-Litovsk, Kobrin,
Minsk and Pinsk have is clothing sent
by the American Red Cross. 1t is not

"When the American committee ar
rived in Warsaw the old men and
young men, women and children knelt
before US, kissed our hands and oul
coats and begged US for bread.
Finds Relatives in Stable.
1--WE distributed every cent of the
money the good people of the United
States sent over with me and have
receipt for all but $225 Of it. This was
sent to people who lived in a province
that / could not reach. There was no
way of getting mail to them. ex-
hausted every possible effort but fail
cd to reach them. Most Of the people
to whom the money was sent l found
in dugouts, in stables, without food
or clothing. My own brother I found
with his wife and two children in
stable in Brest Litovsk. There was
neither floor nor roof. gave them
the first white bread they had tasted
in six years. My sister / could not go
to, so | sent for her and she came to
Warsaw. Like many of the Jews, /
found two of her eight children in
such condition that I could not bring
them to the United States. They would
not have been admitted. So she stayed
there with them and | brought four
children over and left four there with
her.
1--WE had trouble getting passports.
Transporting money from one place
to another was very difficult. In
Warsaw there was not 100000
marks in all the banks. So they gave
US an order on Best Litovsk banks.
Forces Way to Consul.
"The American consul in Warsaw
treats the American people very bad
ly. Polish employees are instructed
not to admit anybody. They greet
the Americans and are unable to I'M
derstand English, which makes it
very hard for the Americans. We,
however, pushed past them and went
in.
"The Jews are being prosecuted as
they were in the dark ages.
"Jews in Poland wear long boards,
according to their religious, belief. 1t
is a common sight to see Polish SOL
diers with Jew in the middle of the
street tearing out his beard. This is
a common means of persecution"
Gilbert sees no hope for the Jews
in Poland. America is sending cloth
ing and food. France is helping
rebuild the roads and business houses
as much as possible. AS rapidly as
building progresses it is destroyed by
the Polander.
america is the only hope of our
poor, suffering people," Gilbert said.
"The Jews of the Ukraine can now be
reached through Soviet Russia and
through Poland"
