HOME AID FOR RUSSIA

A novel plan has just been hit
upon by the All-Russian Central
Committee for the immediate re-
lief OF the famine sufferers. The
Committee has decided to convert
all the valuables in all the church,
es Of all creeds in Russia into
money for the purchase of food
and supplies. The gold and sill
Yer candlesticks, the gold-cover-
ed and bejeweled ikons, or images,
the chalices and salvers and other
furnishings, are valued at not less
than a billion-ard-a-half dollars.
OF this sum the interior OF the
great Church Of the Nativity. at
Moscow. together with nine other
churches, will yield five hundred
millions in silver alone. The
movement is pathetically describ-
ed as "a loan to God" This is
the most sensible thing that has
ever come out Of Russia, and we
may be sure that the gang of
anarchists at the head Of it had
nothing to do with the inception
OF the plan. 1t will save thou
sands upon thousands Of lives and
will do more good in one year in
arouSlng a sense OF gratitude to
the Almighty than the precious
metals to be melted and the gems
to be sold. would in a thousand
years, devoted to display and os-
tentation. We believe that this
relief, Joined to that now being
rendered by America. will almost
entirely do away with a tragedy

occasions of happiness the Jewish peo-
pie consider those whose lot has not
fallen in pleasant places, so on this
feast of Purim they remember those
who are in need, and the giving of
gifts to the poor and afflicted consti-
tutes one Of the outstanding features
OF the festival.
For the Jewish people Of the United
States the festival of Purim has an
added attraction this year due to the
appointment of an American rabbi as
minister to Persia.

PURIM.

The mirthful feast of Purim will
be celebrated in Jewish circles this
year on Monday evening, March IA,
with a special service in the synagogue.
While holiday of minor character,
it's use of the scroll of Esther has en-
deared the festival to the Jewish peo-
pie, who make it an occasion for popu-
lar rejoicing.
The services for this festival are
wholly concerned with the reading Of
the story Of Esther, which, from time
to time, assumed a more prophetic
character and forevisioned, in part,
the checkered career of the Jews.
On this day the Jewish people re-
member the miraculous redemption
wrought for their ancestors by the
loyalty and devotion of Mordacai,
uncle of Queen Esther, whose fidelity
to his king and country made possible
the rescue of the king from the hands
Of the plotters.
The particular element in the Book
of Esther that appeals to the fancy
and emotion of the Jewish people Is
the overthrow of Haman, arch-enemy
of the Jew, who had plotted to destroy
all the Jewish people throughout the
Persian Empire. The 18th day Of
the twelfth month, according to the
Hebrew calendar, was set aside fol
this terrible pogrom. His bloody de
signs would have been executed hac
not the courage of Queen Esther, thu
Jewess selected by Ahasuerus, Kini
of Persia, for his wife, and Mordacai
her uncle, frustrated Humans muir
derous intentions and brought them t
nought.
Throughout all the centuries tn,
Jewish people have interpreted tn
narratives compiled in the Book o

Chicago. Sept. 1S.-(By The Assoc

t~orneyyfor B. M. Jewell and John Scott,
leaders of the striking rail crafts,
Monday afternoon asked Judge James
III Wilkerson to strike out of the rec
ord the 500 affidavits of the strike
violence filed last week by Attorney
General Daugherty's assistant.
I'VE have found that some of them
we have had a chance to investigate are
deliberate and willful perjury he de-
clared.
The defense attorney objected to the
affidavits on the ground that:
Their volume made 1t Impossible
to investigate their truth.
o-The method Of presentation was
unfair.
3-The defense was given an made
duate time to prepare an answer.
Aver Not Protected
The rights of the defendants are not
properly protected, he said, If the gov
eminent is permitted to submit unsup-
ported evidence which by its sheer vol
ume makes it impossible to properly
investigate II.
After a conference in which Judge
Wilkerson indicated the mass OF ev!-
dence was no ground for throwing 1t
out of court, a recess was taken while
the defense attorneys debated, asking
for a continuance to permit them 10 e4-
anime the governments evidence.
AS the restraining order now in force
expires Thursday and cannot be re.
newed. "a continuance probably would
permit it to elapse automatically.
After a 10-minute conference, the
defense abandoned the plan for a con

the reversing order might be continued

But news came soon that all the men
were dead and the little hope still held
