TIE FEAST
OF LIGHTS

NTHE lights on the tree are said to
w be Of Jewish origin. In the
month Of Kislev, Of the Jewish
year, corresponding nearly to our De-
cenber, and the twenty-fifth day, Jews
celebrated the feast of dedication OF
their temple. 1t had been dedicated on
that day by Antiochus. 1t was dedicated
by Judas Maccabeus, and, according 10
Jewish legend, sufficient oil was found
IN the temple to last for the seven
brancted candlestick for eight days,
and II would have taken eight days to
prepare new oil. Accordingly the Jews
were wont on the twenty-fifth day OF
Kislev In every house to light a cam
die, on the next day-two, and on the
the eighth and last day OF the feast,
eight candles twiniled In every house.
1t is not very easy to fix the en-
act date Of the Nativity, but 1t fell
most probably on the last day OF K!s-
lev, when every Jewish house in Beth
lehem and Jerusalem was twinkling
with lights. 1t is worthy of note that
the German name for Christmas il
Welhnacht (the night OF dedication),
rs though it were associated with this
feast. The Greeks also call Christ
mas the feast of lights, the name
given to the dedication festival, Cham
ukah. by the Jews.

IRISH PARLIAMENT
DELAYS ACTION
Dali Eireann Lays Over Question of
Accepting Treaty With England
After Stormy Session
fBy Associated Press Leased Wire,

(By Associated Press Leased Wire.1
Dublin, Ireland The question of
ratification or rejection of the Anglo
Irish agreement by the Dali Eireann
has been postponed until Thursday
when public session will be held and
the deputies will debate the matter
and come to decision. This was de-
cided upon at today's meeting of the
Dali called OF consider the agreement.
Meanwhile the Dali in secret session
was this afternoon discussing the dis
pute between the delegates to the Lon
don conference who were the signers of
the agreement, and canon de Valera,
the president and his adherents on this
issue, as to whether the delegates had
the power to conclude the agreement.
In the public session of the Dali to-
day public so far as the press and
few selected persons were concerned
- this point was raised by de Valera.
It developed the acute difference ex-
listing between the republican presi-
dent on one side and Arthur Griffith
and Michael Collins, leaders of the
plenipotentiaries, on the other. In
the argument, during the hours public
session Mr.. de Valera asserted the dele
gates had not obeyed the instructions
of the cabinet = charge which both
Collins and Griffith resented.
1t was a question of whether the
delegates had failed to report to the
cabinet before signing the agreement,
Mr.. de Valera insisted this was an i'm
k,1% Nv wi al od
it was not material one for while he
and his colleagues had power to sign
an agreement that had no authority to
conclude one. The representatives of
the Dali and of the British cabinet
were in an identical position he point
ed out, as they had each to refer the
treaty to their respective legislatures
for ratification.
This question was to form the sub
ject for the secret session, but it ap-
peared from remarks that were DROP
ped that certain of the deputies desired
to learn something about the Sim
Fein's financial and military ability
to resume warfare before casting their
votes and they saked for reports in
private on these pionts.
One of the tensest moments OF the
debate was when Michael Collins de-
clared emotionally:
"I have been called a traitor. Let
the Irish people decide whether I am
or not"
In repudiating the charge of trea-
son, Michael Collins said that Ireland
was free to accept or reject the agree
ment. He recommended its acceptance
but if it were rejected his mind would
be none the less clear.
President de Valera went on argu-
ing that it was ridiculous to think the
Dali would give the plenipotentiaries
power to make binding agreement.
They had a great degree of freedom to
negotiate he said, but no agreement
should be hurriedly signed.

ADMITS MURDER OF
NEW YORK DOCTOR
Mrs. Charles III. Raizen Tells Sensa-
tional Story of Murder Of DR..
Abram Glickstein.


New York City = Pleading eight
years Of suffering as her justification,
Mrs. Charles H. Raizen today faced
arraignment in Brooklyn court on the
charge of killing DR.. Abram Glickstein,
4S, in his Bedford avenue office last
Saturday.
Surrendered to the police by
lawyers representing her father and
husband last night, Mrs. Raizen, who
is 20, and the wife of top manufact-
urer, told her story to District Attor-
ney Harry Lewis.
With dry eyes and air of self-control
superior to that of any of her audi
tors, she revealed the secrets of life
which she said had been made near
ly unbearable by the physician whose
life she had ended with bullet.
She had known Glickstein, she said,
most of her life. He was her family's
general practitioner in the lower east
side of Manhattan where she, then
Lillian Schaffer and her parents as
we'll as Glickstein lived. He had her
implicit trust she said and exercised
strange but powerful influence over
her = sort of magnetic influence, as
she described It.
Mrs. Raizen said she struggled in
vain to break the hold the physician
had on her life. A year ago she
thought she had succeeded. The rela-
tionship which she said had always
been against her will ended about a
year ago and she thought she was free,
Then on the eve of her marriage to
Raizen she said, Glickstein renewed his
advances and attacked her in the office
where on Saturday with the memory
of her injuries torturing her she end
ed his life.
She escaped that time, she said, and
in May was married. On her honey
moon, she said, she confessed all to
her husband and he tried to console
her and told her to forget it.
But to forget, she declared, was i'm
possible. The Swallowed past became
violent, tormenting obession that un-
dermined her health. Finally she
went to Florida, and still unable to
find peace she bought the fatal pistol.
Then she came north, sought out the
object of her fears and shot him
through the heart.
Leaving the house in which Click
stein was dying, she took a train to
Manhattan, called her father on the
telephone and told him what she had
done
After her recital Mrs. Raizen was
formally booked on homicide charge
and spent the night in Jail.
Aaron w. Levy, one of her attor-
neys indicated the defense would con-
tend she was mentally unbalanced.

MILITANT WOMEN
STILL ON RAMP AGE
Kansas State Guard is Called Out to
Put an End to Violence at
Mining Centers.
(By Associated Press Leased wire.)


Pittsburgh, Kans. - While the state
military authorities were modifying
companies of the national guard for
entrainment to Pittsburg today, the
militant women of the Kansas mining
field, adherents of Alexander Howat,
were engaged in the most ambitious
campaign they had so far attempted in
their program Of stopping, by violent
activities, the operation of coal mines
by men who responded to the call of
the international union for men to man
the mines.
Acting upon the emphatic demand of
seven local unions at Pittsburg and
four at Girard, Sheriff Milt Gould this
morning called on Topeka for assist
ance, the miners representatives all
leging that their families and homes
were in danger, told the sheriff that
they would welcome any kind of ade-
quate protection.
The call of the sheriff was sent to
Topeka almost at the time the two
terrific blasts shook the northern part
of Crawford county and were heard as
far north as Fort Scott. 1t was found
the blast wrecked the steam shovel of
the Menghini Coal company on the
Drywood Creek.
The first appearance of the woman
mob was at Central Number AZ, mine
northeast of Pittsburg.
The mine was not in operation but
several company men were ordered
away by the women, who had come to
the mine in motor cars. The process
sion extended more than a mile in
length.

London-Opening the special ses-
sion Of parliament called to consider
the Irish peace settlement, King
George said in his speech from the
throne today:

articles of agreement now submitted
to you the strife of centuries may
be ended"
While ratification of the peace
treaty between Great Britain and Ire
land was being urged by speakers in
the House of Commons this afternoon,
Premier Lloyd George entered the
House and was received with storm
of cheers. He was cheered again as
he rose to speak on the agreement.
No agreement ever concluded between
two people had. received so universal
welcome, he declared.
The agreement, said the premier,
had received wider publicity than
probably any treaty which ever had
been entered to, with the exception of
the treaty of Versailles.
The treaty, he continued, had been
received in every quarter in this
country with satisfaction and relief
and throughout of the whole of the
dominions with acclaim. He noticed
that it had been criticized in some
quarters as a humiliation to Great
Britain and the empire but the do
minions of the crown were not in the
hobit of rejoicing over humiliation
to an empire for which they had sacri-
feed so much

OBENCHAIN CASE
BOBS UP TODAY
New Attorney Appears for Alleged
Woman Slayer in Hearing
at Los Angeles.
(By Associated Press Leased wire.)

(By Associated Press Leased Wire.)
Los Angeles.-When the trial Of Ar
thur C. Burch, charged with the muir
der of Bolton Kennedy, was resumed
here today in the superior court, the
district attorney began his final effort
toward cementing into a complete pic
ture the mosaic of evidence that he
has been endeavoring to build up dur
ing the past month. 1t was announced
that several witnesses would be called
to testify briefly.
The actual resumption of the trial
was delayed beyond the usual hour by
the appearance of Ralph Obenchain,
former husband of Madalynne Oben-
chain, and now one of her attorneys,
who moved the substitution of Judd A.
Rush for Charles Erbstein as counsel
for Mrs. Obenchain. After this had
been allowed Mr.. Rush had the Oben-
chain case continued until next Mon
day. Heretofore it has been continued
each day, making Mrs Obenchain's ap-
pearance in court each morning a legal
requirement. She is indicted jointly
with Burch, but demanded separate
trial, which had been set to follow the
Burch case.
Beauty parlor condolences between
Mrs. Obenchain and other women that
took the spotlight a few days ago, were
showed into the wings today when clair
voyancy went into evidence.
The first witness was Mrs. R. B
Whitlow, mulatto, who said she was
clairvoyant practicing in Los An
eeles. Mrs. Whitlow testified that last
July she was consulted by Mrs. Oben-
chain who asked whether she would
r.arry the man she loved and Mrs
Whitlow said she told Mrs. Obenchain
that it Cooked favorable, only she
seemed to be afraid"
A few days later Mrs. 0benchain
called, according to the witness, and
said she was going to bring her friend
in, and asked whether the witness
would "talk favorably."
Later she came with a young man
according to the witness, whom the
witness did not then know, but found
was called "Belton" which was tbs
name Of the murdered. man. The wit
ness said she told them that as she
saw it, they SHOULD go away and mar
ry."
