GERS of the Independent Order
Birth Abraham met last week to
arrange the program of a nation
wide campaign to counteract and
destroy the effects of Henry
Ford's anti-Semitic propaganda
in this country. The Order will
raise one million dollars for this
purpose from among its lodges
and members. Mr.. Isidor Scherer,
Counsel of the Order, will be in
charge of this activity.
"The first move" said Mr..
Scherer, twill be to call mass
meetings of the order, which is
made up of $40 lodges throughout
the country and represents 1,OOO,-

British Government Orders Pol
ish Ambassadors to Refuse
Visas for Cha1utisn1.

Warsaw Oewish Telegraphic
Agency).-The English Ambas-
sador here today wrote to the To-
cal Palestine Office informing it's
officials that he had received or
ders from the London Foreign Of
flee to instruct English Consuls
not to visa passports for Jewish
immigrants desiring to go to Pal
estine.
The news has caused consider
able CONSERVATION in Poland. It
appears now, according to dis
patches, that many of the refugees
are in the impossible position of
having to leave Poland by July
1st, according to Polish regula-
tons, and can go neither to Amer
lea, because American Consuls
now refuse visas, nor to Palestine
because British Consu1s now re.
fuse visas. The statement by the
British Ambassador is interpreted
here as an indication that the
stoppage of immigration into Pal
estine will continue for more than
two weeks, for if that were not
the case it would not be necessary
to restrain immigrants leaving
Warsaw when the trip to Pales-
tine itself must last at least fort
night.

collation. of the immigration edict.
Indications from Palestine are
that though there have been no
fresh disturbances, considerable
excitement and unrest prevails
among the Jewish population. A
general dissatisfaction manifests
itself with manner in which the
proceedings against Arabs arrest
ed in connection with the riots are
being conducted. 1t is claimed
that the sentences are far too leni-
ent and insufficient to serve as
lesson against further acts of vio-
lence.

British Government Investigates
Ukrainian Pogroms.

London.-The British govern

tee there and of the well-known.
Ataman Engel, and to prevent
these from using Constantinople
as a base for further pogrom prep

National Young Judaea Cam
palgn.

The campaign for $4,000 which
Young Judaea needs for it's COM
plete budget for the National
Headquarters and field work has
now assumed very definite shape.
1t will be necessary to secure
1,4OO adult members paying from
$500 upwards per year to the Ma
tional Headquarters. A schedule
of the proposed adult membership
is being sent out to all leaders and
workers who will be asked to get
to work Immediately to enroll this
membership. AS soon as the full
quota of membership has been en-
rolled, National Young Judaea
will appoint field secretary and
the necessary city secretaries and
district supervisors in the field
for the proper conduct of the edu-
cational work of Young Judaea,
and it will also issue the publica-
tons which are necessary for the
guidance of the leaders.

Jerusalem. - The Vaad Ha-

emphatic protest against the sus-

Zionist Activists Oppose Leaders.

London.-An open meeting of
the Activist group in the Zionist
movement took place here yester-
day. Mr.. Vladimer Jabotinsky
presided. The address of the eve
ming was delivered by Mr.. Meyer
Grossman, who criticized the
leadership of Weizmann, Soko-
low, Ussishkin and demanded
their designations on the grounds
of a lack of consistency in their
political aims, and of their mis-
takes in practical work in Pales-
tine. The speaker declared that
the next Zionist Congress would
have to elect an entirely new
Executive.
Mr.. Jabotinsky, who recently
joined the Executive, did not
agree in all that was said, but
maintained that free and open
criticism was healthy and useful.

Because several German news
papers in Upper Silesia recently
appeared carrying denunciatory
articles against the mistreatment
of Jewish inhabitants by Bava-

and Germans are working hand

in Upper Silesia.

This and other recent property devel-

way directly opposite the school teach
cr's corner end it remained there for
many years.
Business came into the Broadway
district after thirty years as residen-
tial locality. The commercial invasion
wa2 very rapid. In very few years trade
dominated the character of the neigh
borhood. Some of the leading retail
merchants of the city were settling
Oh Broadway and Twenty third Street
as the new shopping district. The old
district then was south of Fourteenth
Street.
The school teacher and the Lewis
County farmer did not hold on to their
realty until the big store folks to the
south wanted their property. The
Roosevelt and Goelet estates held The
school teachers corner when Lord &
Taylor came along in 1871, and leased
1t for long term of years at a big
rental as site for their uptown store,
Street. In the heyday of the section,
that is, when it was the finest shopping
district in New York, the corner which
Mrs. Moore had SO cleverly traded
could not be purchased for $4,000 900.
It's value to-day is not so high That
section of Broadway IS now the lace
center of New York.
Little for Mrs. Moore's Heirs
Ten years ago Mrs. Moores estate
disposed of the 25 Macdougal Street
house for $4,000. Two years previous
her heirs refused to let it 60 for S12,7
500. They wanted $4,000. In view of
the shortage of homes, the property
may be worth good deal more to-day.
But whatever the increment in value
the housing shortage may have brought
to the property it is away of from the
price of the Broadway corner, once the
home of Lord & Taylor.
The fortune which the Moore estate
heirs lost through this transaction
cannot compare with the financial loss
of the Lindsley family. The Lindsey
farm would bring to-day $25,0o0.0 900
Eighty tall business buildings and
scores of smaller structures cover the

a smile why he was so eager to sell
1t was we'll for him that he could
rot arouse interest in his rubbish heap
Since no one would take it off his
hands he held on tor it, putting every
penny he could get into It. Later
he was very thankful that he was un-
successful in marketing what he
thought was bad investment.
Business Follows Mexican War
When the Mexican War became his
tory business burst ahead like pent-
far beyond the area which had been
conceded as the limits of the city's
commercial district. 1t spread into
parts which had been regarded as per-
manent residential localities. ST.
Johns found business creeping up the
west side and over into the pretty little
section which had long been the home
of some of the finest families in the
city. Folks VINO made that territory
what it was scampered off to the north
settling in Broadway, Fifth and Fourth
asenues and side streets. The Linds-
ley farm and Mrs Moore's old corner
were part of this new residential de-
velopment, the elite neighborhood of
New York. Seven and eight thousand
dollars was easily obtained for lots in
the Lindsey farm, on Twentythird
Street, between Fifth and Sixth ave-
nues. The Schermerhorns built a great
house on the north side of the way. 1t
remained there until several years ago
when Michael Coleman pulled it iown
and erected a twelvestory building
at 40.
Changes in Twenty Years
Within twenty years Mrs. Moore
found herself in the midst Of rapidly
growing negro colony. Italians now
hold sway there, it being one of the
largest Italian settlements in the en-
tire city. Her house is now occupied
by Italians While these things were
happening in the ST. Johns Park sec
ton the Lindsley farm, the Broadway
and Twentieth Street corner and that
entire section were waxing in value.
Many of the famous clubs now farther
north on Fifth Avenue were located
there The Goelets had home on Broad
