BONDED WHISkEk CAUSES
 PRICE WAR IN SEATTLE

SEATTLE, June 26.-This city is being flooded with Canadian whiskey to such an extent that the boOtleggers contemplate forming union as mat ter of self protection. Moonshiners also are hurting the business of the dealers in the bonded goods.
 The result has been that the boot leggers have been forced to slash the price for booze and a rate war is in progress.
 "Unless we organize" said a promi nent bootlegger this price cutting will cause us all to go broke"
 'There is a lot of whiskey in town and the best brands are selling dirt cheap. Moonshiners are hurting ou2 business. Some of our best customers are developing a taste for moonshine and are not buying standard brands o Scotch and Bourbon. It is also essen. tial that we divide the trade giving the bootleggers a certain district"

FRACTION OF ONE VOTE
 SETTLES VIRGINIA BOND ISSUE

MORGANTOWN, w. Va, June 26.- One of the strangest elections ever re corded was held here, the issue being decided by about three -fifths of vote A special election on the question oi issuing $75O,0OO in bonds for street improvements and municipal build ing was carried by the narrow margin of .60O4 of a vote according to expert mathematicians, the unusual result arising from West Virginia's constitu- tional provision that all bond issues must be approved by three-fifths of the vote cast. Three-fifths of the total vote cast would be 1920 2-4 while the vote for the issue was 1,131.
 The question is not likely to be set tied as protests have arisen from those who were barred from voting because they had not been registered under an inadequate registration provision and the election will be held over.

ruption for three-quarters of an
hour. Another rocks his head to and
fro and makes his curls dance alter
nately from one shoulder to the other.
A third is on his feet and executes
the half-turns of a waltz. A giant
who has resemblance to M. Poubelle
is practicing contortions with his lips
and eyes, evidently meant to express
admiration, reminding me of the an
tics of a prefect before his minister.
Beside me is the fine face of an old
man, suggesting the gentle philos-
ophers of Rembrandt under the
arches of stairway losing itself in
nocturnal darkness, impassive with a
discreet little smile. Contortions and
convulsions become more violent
whenever some resonant voice surges
upward in more ardent invocations
of the God Of Israel. Then fatigue
asserts itself and all quiet down.
This gymnastic performance, | am
told, aims to make the body take
part in the prayers of the soul. Thus
the muscles and the bones in their
way honor the Creator. I have often
witnessed other extravagant perform
ances in the camp meetings of Ameri-
can Methodists, who are genuine
Christians. In reality this is a
nervous phenomenon like cries and
dances of the dervish and is to be-
classed with external manifestations
of religious exaltation.
What struck me among my Polish
Jews, whose sincerity is not to be
doubted, is the ease with which they
find their composure in the middle
of this epileptic demonstration. A
certain snuff-box which was quietly
circulating indicated that at least the
noses had during these devotions not
renounced their earthly appetite.
1t is not necessary to describe the
ceremony of the sacred parchment
taken from the tabernacle, which was
really miserable chest, and handed
around in it's wrapper to be kissed
by everybody. Then it is piously
spread on the table, around which
are called those that are to be spe-
cially honored; after the reading it
is tremendously replaced in it's con-
tainer. These customs are generally
known.
A Distinguished Visitor
The only incident worthy of mem
tion was the arrival of a strange
old man, dry and fleshless, head, nose
and beard running into point. He
was clothed in magnificent long
coat of black satin, under which were
dangling the threads of wool pre-
scribed by orthodox Judaism. An
enormous fur cap covered his head.
It is the traditional headgear in
honor of the Sabbath. Little zibe-
lines had lent their delicate pelts for
the pious function. Our man, known
for his austere devotion, soon prayed
with an ardor which none OF his
companions could surpass.
He lifted into the air long white
hands, evidently we'll cared for, struck
them passionately against each other,
then rose on his tiptoes and brusquely
fell back on his heels with a violent
shock to his body, the zibelines par
