at the Buffalo Convention held two
months ago.
This decision was result Of con-
ference of leading Zionist workers in

SUFFERING OF JEWISH SOL
DIERS IN HUNGARY.

Prague, Bohemia.-Little has been
reported in the foreign press about
the sufferings and insulting treat
ment Of Jewish soldiers in the Hun
garian army. The reason for such q
state Of affairs is to be found in the
circumstance that Jewish soldiers are
treated like common criminals and
segregated from the world SO that
none are in position to communi-
cate anything TO the outer world.
The unfortunate wretches are not
even able TO communicate with their
own relatives. One Jewish soldier
who managed to escape here gives us
the following details concerning his
own situation and that Of his friends:
The escaped man was formerly
member Of the Austro- Hungarian ar
my, served in the late war, was deco
rated for bravery and won an officers
commission. Severely wounded, he
was released from active service, but
the White Government restored him
to duty. However, he was not given
his old officers rank but reduced to
that Of q common soldier, and Jewish
soldiers are sent TO do heavy field
duty Of 16 hours in every "a, from 4
in the morning to in the evening.
The slightest infraction Is punished
with 25 stripes. II one intends to
make some purchases for his own
money. n special application must be
made therefore and the soldier Is ae-
companied by two men.
The soldier who told the story does
not want his Mans printed. He IA
afraid the government may wreak re-
vengc on his relatives. But rcsponn.
BILE persons were given the names Of
the offending officers who were main
ly responsible for the stripes to the
man as well as 10 other soldiers who
were with him In camp. He also
says that he was not given enough
food and there were cases where SOL
diers have dropped dead in the midst
OF the heavy work. The story ends
with a statement that the man knew
that II captured he would be put to
immediate death, but he preferred
death and a possibility Of escape TO
the intolerable conditions under which
he was compelled to live.

Mrs. H. Kempner Presents Temple an

-~s"FssSA a ANoShso AOhtPiC dh
Organ.
To an audience that taxed the seat
ing capacity Of Temple B'nai Israel,
the new organ, a gift to DR.. Cohen's
congregation by Mrs. H. Kempner, was
dedicated at the usual Friday evening
service, yesterday.
Immediately following Psalm $50
and the dedicatory blessing, Mr.. HUI
T. Huffmaster played "The Lost
Chord" by Sullivan, and "Andantno'
by Lemare. The evening service was
sung by the synagogue quartette
(Mr. and Mrs. J. N. Spurway, Mrs.
E. B. Holman and Alfred Dreyfus)
with Miss Laura Park, the Temple Or
gainst, at the organ. Mrs. Ralph Fra
part sang Fear Ye Not, o Israel"
by Dudley Buck, and the choir rem
dered "Doth Not Wisdom Cry?" by
Rogers, accompanied by Miss Park,
and following the benedicton by the
rabbi, Miss Park played the postlude
FESTIVAL March," by Stebbins. Both
musical artists brought out the ex-
cellences Of the new Pitcher organ, as
only virtuosi can, and a most i'm
pressive evening was enjoyed. DR..
Cohen in his address, after referring
to the organ builder and his mastery
work, traced the use of instrumental
music at divine service from the ear
lest times, when the sound Of trum-
pets and horns convoked the people
to prayer in the tabernacle-the oft
removal Of which from place to place
precluded an elaborate musical serv-
ice. On the stated festivals silver
trumpets were blown and on the feast
Of the first day Of the seventh month
the shofar was sounded. Peace and
security Of the people found voice in
instrumental music in the Temple Of
Solomon-and tradition AYERS that
from the time Of Samuel, who found
ed the school Of prophets, both vocal
and instrumental music obtained-the
latter largely consisting Of stringed
instruments and pipes-referred to
frequently in the Book Of Psalms.
David playing before Saul and Elisha
calling for a minstrel, point to the
fact that in the minds Of the ancients
AS today-music was considered TO
awaken the liveliest sentiments Of
piety. "Let me but make the songs
Of a people, and care not who makes
its laws" as a philosopher said. The
Psalms lent themselves to vocal and
instrumental music, and were sung
antiphonally or alternately, on an ex-
tensive scale. The Talmud refers in
this connection to twenty-four classes
and 2SS leaders, and mixed choruses
Of men and women were not unknown.
Hezekiah reconsecrated the temple
with music, and in the Temple Of
Zerubabel musical service obtained.
The destruction Of the Temple in
the years seventy Of this era and the
subsequent persecution Of the Jews,
caused the abolition Of instrumental
music In Jewish divine worship until
comparatively recent times-when or
gan and choir Is considered to be an
integral part Of Jewish synagogal
worship in reform and conservative
congregations.

Eastern eleven at the Coliseum yes,

/ Tech was a bit too big and rangy
for the Fasteners. Employing the
famous Jones play OF Illinois the Tech

vantage. shooting the forwards down
the floor for quick passes.
Eastern played gamely throughout,
but was unable to overcome the ad-
vantage of weight and speed shown
by Tech. GUIDE and Parker played a
great defensive game for Tech and
hurried the Easterners to such an
extent that they were unable to get
baskets with regularity.
Myers and Faber OF Eastern per
formed creditably. Gosnell Aubinoe

PLANS
QUIZ FOR FULTON
New York Authorities Would
Discuss Tales of Faking
In Ring.

NEW YORK. Jan. 22.-Big Fred
Fulton, the tall plastersr from
Rochester, ran into a snag when he
applied for a license to box in this
State. 1t appears that some person
has protested the tall on THE ground
that he Is a self-confessed faker. re-
ferring to his quick defeat at the
hands of Jack Dempsey, which oc-
Cured in a New Jersey ring back in
1918,
Shortly after that affair Fulton went
out to the Pacific coast, and in an i'll
starred moment he was prevailed upon
to give out an interview in which he
asserted that the Dempsey Knockout
was not on the level Fulton soon
came to his senses and retracted his
ridiculous statement. The New Jer-
sey Boxing Commission gave him a
clean bill of health and the whole
affair blew over and was almost for
gotten.
Now it is going to be opened again
by the local Boxing Commission.
which has sent word to Fulton to
come on from Rochester and appear
next Thursday to show cause why he
should receive a license to box. The
name of the complainant in the case
has not appeared as yet, but no doubt
1t will be made known on Thursday.
This seems to be rather a queer pro-
ceeding, in view of the fact that the
Boxing Commission of New Jersey,
where the alleged offense was COM
mitted, has seen At to let bygones be
bygones.
Chairman Joseph Johnson of the
local commission said in his opening
address when the Boxing Board began
to function that all old scores had
been wiped out and that every one in
the sport would be allowed to start
fresh and be judged solely on what
happened in the future, not on what
had happened In the past.
None OF the ringsiders that know
the first thing about boxing ever did
believe for a moment that Fulton was
not knocked out when Dempsey
crashed his right against the tall
ones chin that blistering hot after
noon at Harrison. Dempsey has
stopped so many big fellows in quick
time that 1t has long since ceased to
be a novelty.

SUGGESTIONS MANY
BUT CHANGES FEW
Football Tinkerers Will Probably
Be Downcast by Commit
tees Action.

NEW YORK. Jan. 22-When the foot
ball rules committee meets here next
month II will find the secretary's table
piled high with suggestions for changes
In the playing code. The rules worked
out so well during the past season that
1t isn't likely that the committee will
sit up nights considering the proposed
changes.
One of the suggested changes is 20
restrict the use OF the forward pass 10
the first down. Another is not to PEI
init a player TO run with the ball after
the pass has been completed.
The abolition of the goal after a
touchdown win also come before tbs
committee.
The committee will consider the sug'
gestion made by r. ID. Haughton that
all forward passes blocked or batted
down behind the thrower's line oil
scrimmage he subject to recovery by
opponents under the same conditions as
a blocked kick or tumble.
This would probably stop the wild
promiscuous tossing of forward passes
which was seen in several games last
sea son. This suggestion is about the
only one which is getting much con-
sidera ton from members of the COM
mittee.
Dr. Lambeth. Virginia's representa-
tive on the rules committee, will make
a suggestion in regard to touchbacks and
safeties. II is his argument that spec
tators are never able to tell whether a
safety or touchbscl1 has been made.
He suggests that after a safety the
ball be put into play on the 4O-yard
line.

PLANS FOR CLASH.
ARE GOING AHEAD
Brady's Withdrawal Is No Bar to
Rickard- Cochran Promo
tion Scheme.

NEW YORK. Jan. 22.-Tex Rick
ard and Charles B. Cochran will go
ahead with the promotion of the
Dempsey-Carpentier fight regardless
of whether or not William A. Brady
withdraws.
Word from the London promoter
denying that he wished to drop out
has settled the matter today.
The discovery of Dempsey's lost
forfeit bond in a safe in Jack kearns'
New York office put an end to rumors
that the champion had failed to live
up to the contract.
If the big fight is staged on this
side Of the Atlantic it may go TO
Montreal.
THE offers / have received from
Montreal are particularly attractive,
said Rickard today. ''They are GER
tainly worth while considering from
every angle, and think 1t quite pos
sible that the bout could be staged
there successfully"
