DEATH BRINGS RECOGNITION TO
JEWISH COMPOSER

A jewish composer OF european
distinction died in New York in OBJ
security last week after years at
tempt to win recognition from the
Jewish community. The diagnosis
was heart failure, but his friends say
it was despair.
And now that the man is dead at
tention is at last upon him and news
papers are filled with the story of
his life and his devotion to the cause
of music, and there are editorials of
regret. "We have committed crime
in neglecting him." says David Pin
sky, playwright and editor of the
Jewish Times.
The composer was the Russian Jew,
Matteo Bensman, forty-ive years of
age. His oratorio "La Nunciazione"
was produced in Milan in 1905 and
won him the international gold medal.
In the same year, in Milan, his opera
"Nuova" was performed. He is also
the author of the operas "Eramus"
and "The Jews" the latter based on
Chirkoff's famous drama.
The late Gustav Mailer in Vienna
produced Bensman's colossal SYM
phony, Palestine" a work divided
into five parts, with a chorus and a
ballet. It was later produced in sew

APPOINTMENT OF AUSTRIAN
CONSUL FOR PALESTINE
POSTPONED

Vienna q. C. B.)-We have previ-
ously reported in our cable service
that the Austrian Government had de-
cided to appoint Jew as Austrian
Consul in Palestine. 1t is understood,
however, that at the last moment the
Austrian Zionist Federation was
asked to give it's approval to the
selected candidate, and the reply re-
ceived was that the Federation was
not sufficiently acquainted with the
candidate to be able to give any
opinion regarding his fitness for the
appointment. The Austrian Govern
ment thereupon cancelled the selec-
ton and has postponed the appoint
ment Of it's Consulate in Palestine. 1t
is believed that the Austrian Zionist
Federation will be asked to suggest
a candidate to the Government.

SENATOR LODGE INTRODUCES
ZIONIST RESOLUTION IN
CONGRESS

Washington q. T. A.)--Senator
Henry Cabot Lodge introduced joint
resolution in the Senate on Wednes-
day expressing the approval of the
United States of the restoration of
Palestine to the Jewish people as
their homeland. The resolution was
referred to the Foreign Relations
Committee, of which Senator Lodge
is chairman. The resolution reads:
"Be it resolved, by the United States
that the United States of America
favors the establishment in Palestine
of the national homeland for the Jew
ish people, in accordance with the
provisions contained in the declara-
ton of the British Government of
November 2, 1917, known as the Bal
four Declaration, it being clearly un-
derstood that nothing shall be done
which may prejudice the civil and
religious rights Of existing non-Jew-
ish communities in Palestine or the
rights and political status enjoyed by
Jews in any other country, and that
the holy places and religious build
ings and sites in Palestine shall be
adequately protected"
This resolution, being joint one,
will have to be passed by both houses
Of Congress, and then signed by the
President. The resolution introduced
by Representative Hamilton Fish in
the House of Representatives will
probably be displaced by the Lodge
resolution.
Senator Lodge stated that he ex-
meets to call meeting Of the For
eign Relations Committee within a
few days and hopes for the unanimous
approval of the committee.

This spring a symphony orchestra
was engaged and the Palestine"
symphony was prepared for concert
on March 18 at Carnegie Hall. There
was not enough money to pay the
musicians and the concert was aban-

has now been found. Finally, by
desperate effort, he gathered enough
money and guarantees to enable him
to engage an orchestra for the Sec

However, Bensman found that he
must have 5000 more for expenses or
the concert could not be given. He
could not raise the money.
The doctors said it was heart fail

The concert which Bensman planned
will be given-as memorial concert.

BONUS BILL NOW
TAKES L|MEL|CHT.
IT Is BELIEVED BY MANY THAT
THE PRESIDENTS VETO CAN
BE SUSTAINED.
PROBABLY MODIFY MEASURE
Tom Watson Changes His Mind and
viii Vote Against the BiIl-Dem-
ocrats Ask Immediate Action
But Republicans Delay

Washington.--A sufficient number OF
votes are in sight to sustain a presi-
dental veto applied to soldiers com
pensation legislation. A poll Of the
senate was completed, showing 35 sem
ators pledged to vote against overrid-
ing Mr.. Harding's veto. This is two
more than enough to prevent effective
action.
Those opposed to the bonus now are
relying on veto when the bonus bill
Is passed. They have made careful
inquiries regarding the presidents at.
titude and feel absolutely convinced he
will not approve the meaure as now
drawn.
Those supporting the proposition
realize that situation and are planning
to make the bill acceptable by chang
ing it to meet some of the presidents
objections. 1t is not known whether
or not this can be done.
Consideration of the bonus was
deferred until the middle of this week
This was done for the purpose of per-
uniting the senate leaders to confer
with the president and ascertain just
what can be done in the direction of
modifying the measure to obviate the
presidents objections.
Senators have been deluged with re-
quests for early action on the bonus.
kilograms and letters have been pour
ing in from nearly every American Le-
gion post in the country. All were re-
quested to communicate with the sem
ators from their respective states and
stir them up to moving with more
speed.
Opponents of the bonus have made
all preparation for hard fight. 1t will
include the exertion of pressure upon
the president to stand firm and utilize
the veto.
Predictions are made that the op-
position will gain some recruits as the
debate proceeds. Watson of Georgia,
heretofore an ardent advocate of SOL
diers' compensation has turned turtle
and will not support such legislation
at present. Il will not vote for any
BILL" said Watson, "that adds one cent
of taxtaion to the burdens of the
American people"
There might be no objection, said
Watson to using part of the foreign
war loans in meeting bonus require
ments, but in his opinion these funds
will not be available for long period,
II at ALL He does not see any assist
ance In sight from that source.

DEMOCRATS.
LONE REPUBLICAN OPPOSES
Believed G. o. p. viii Keep "Abomi.
nable Measure" In Conference Un-
til After EIections-Three
Democrats Vote For Bill.

Washington - The Fordney- M Cum-
Der tariff measure, characterized by
democratic leaders as "the most abom-
inal legislative act of an American con.
gress," passed the senate late Saturday
afternoon. The vote was 48 to 25.
The duties in the measure are the
highest since the Grant administra-
ton. AS a matter of fact, the 100000,
900 revenue, which the republicans es,
innate will be gained under the meas,
ure, is $50,000,000 in excess of the rev.
enue from any tariff bill heretofore.
Senator Borah, republican, Idaho,
cast the only negative vote on the ma,
jority side. He announced that Sen.
ator Norris, republican, Nebraska, If
present, would vote against the bill,
A similar statement was made by Cur.
tbs concerning the attitude of Senator
LaFollette republican, Wisconsin.
These three democrats voted with
the republicans for the bill: Brous-
sard, Louisiana; Hendricks, Wyoming,
and Ransdell, louisiana.
Experts virtually agreed that the
average duties of the Fordney-McCum.

those of the Payne-Aldrich act, which
was speedily repudiated by the people.

er than when the measure was report
ed from the finance committee. This
is due to the heavy increase in the ag-
ricultural and chemical schedules.
The bill as passed will add some
thing Nike s,OoO,OoO.Ooo to the bur-
dens now carried by the ultimate con-
sumner, according to hasty compute
tions made by democratic leaders and
experts.
1t is figured that the higher duties
on sugar will cost the American pub
lie annually $157, 100000.
Four items in the cotton schedule
will add $1OS.074,47o to the cost of
clothing. Those cover only long sta
Pile cotton, cotton cloth, draperies ana
cotton hosiery.
1t is figured that six paragraphs in
the wool schedule will take $195,447,.
063 from the pockets of the consuming
public. Included in these are raw
wool, yarns, cloth, carpets, dress goods
and flannels.
The detection OF Borah did not come
as shock to his associates. From the
outset he has consistently voted against
the proposed increases and an impress
sion prevailed that he could not ac-
cept the bill.
The bill will be sent to conference
to the house at once. A special rule
will be used to expedite action. If OBJ
jections to unanimous consent are
