JEWISH CHRISTIAN
 FEUD AT FUNERAL
Police Escort Necessary al Ghetto Services Today
THOUSANDS LINE STREETS
Trouble Caused When Jewish Girl, Wife of Italian, RenouneeS Faith ef Her Fathers and Asks to be Buried as a Christian.

New York, July i7.-Mob demon- strations or racial and religious an- tagonism, which for two days had sundered the Jewish and Italian seec- tons of the Ghetto. were subdued by force today as police escorted the body Of Jennie Lefkowitz, wifc Of Dominiek Scola, to the Church of tho Most Previous Blood and thence 10 Calvary cemetery.
 The bowling throngs who had clamored outside the home Of Dom mick day and night. lined the funeral right-of-way by thousands They gcstured threateningy and muttered, but there was no violence.
 Well armed and mounted police pranceI at the head of the little cor 'tege. officers Of the bomb squad brought up the rear. Alongside, crowding the ominously murmuring humanity 10 the curb, strode patrol men and detectives.
 Gets Christian Burial.
 Authority was compelling the peaceful fulfllment of Jennie's dying wish. She who had forsaken the Jewish religion for love. who had embraced the Roman Catholic faith of her Italian husband, and who dur ing the months of her dying had been an outcast, "already dead" to her parents and her sect, was receiving a Christian burial.
 Born and reared In Ghetto. Jen- nie and Dominick had been playmates since he was II and she 10. Two years ago they hurdled the invisible stone wall of prejudice which Jews and Italians of the Ghetto rear against each other.
 They married. Jennie's parents told their friends she's dead" and Dominick's parents told their friends, i've have no son Dominick." Last June, when she learned death await ed her, Jennie renounced the religion of her father and joined the Roman Catholic church of her husband.
 She died Tuesday night. The ever alert eyes of the Ghetto soon pried into the Jester street home and the news spread like prairie fire. Soon the adjacent streets were filled to the "ltli JocNihS' housands-long-b bearded men, most of them-who screamed denunciation of her who had joined forbidden church.
 All night. all yesterday and last night they swarmed to the streets of he Ghetto. Police reserves were called, but for hours 1t was feared an open outbreak of religious rioting vas inevitable. Early today, how ever, the demonstrations waned, un- fer the ministrations of police clubs, md today the crowds which lined the path of Jennie's funeral car were silent, though menacing.
 But the police were taking no chances. Instead of taking the young | vife's body from her home to the ,hurch next door, Our Lady of Sor- ows, the funeral directors were or ered at the last moment to proceed o the church of the Previous Blood. where secret arrangements had been made for the services.

 Tn substance. you declared that games had been allowed to 80 on uninterrupted at one carnival, and this despite a complaint by a of the license committee direct to the chief of police, while similar games with another carnival were closed up at once. You insinu- ated that the chief was ordered to overlook a breach of the law in one Instance and to enforce the same law In another.
 "The city of New Britain cannot afford to have aspersions cast upon its police department or upon the off, cials of its government. Having in mind your oath of office as an alder man and as mayor pro tenn. of our ,ity your action is not bringing a writ .en charge before the police commits sion or the common council, provided you have evidence, is to say the least, 
 Tt is my duty to demand and your iuty to respond to the end that sub- evidence shall be pro- luced to back your insinuation, or a of the statement be given publicity.
 "A statement such as you have made at meeting of the citys gov 'rnmental body is of grave concern to he city and I believe the public is untitled to all the facts. Feeling as To, I would be very glad to appoint Ln investigating committee and would 'e pleased to name you as chairman If this committee.

"Nigger in WoOdnile,,-,Iufld

There's a nigger in the woodpile somewhere" was Alderman Judd's comment this morning as he discussed the events of last night.
 The alderman repeated his insinua- tion that someone had told Chief Hart to Hay off' the Coleman shows and that the Murphy shows had been kept clean of gambling devices by contrasting seriousness of the police department. Alderman Judd could not say who issued the orders 10 the department, but he said he was con- vinced they did come from someone other than the police commissioners.
 The third warder said he was in- formed that the Murphy shows had their application for permit in be- fore the Coleman shows, but that the latter company was given the prefer ence. He reiterated his statement made to the common council last night in which he declared that de- spite Councilman Nair's complaint nothing was done to require the clos ing mp of Coleman's gambling wheels. but when the Murphy shows came around the police became active. He Is convinced that the police action was ordered to punish local man who conducted wheel with the Mur- phy show and who had been active in trying to secure license for Murphy. On the day following the closing of the wheels, the local concessionaire called at Judd's office and asked if he had made complaint. Judd re- piled he had not. whereupon the con- cessionaire advised him that the re- port made to him was that Alderman Judd was responsible for the closing of the wheels.

LEGION NOTES

The last regular meeting Of the
American Legion was a very enjoy
able affair. About twenty of the
faithful braved the snow and zero
weather to attend. Our suspicious
that the Hartford members are bet
ter husbands than the White Bluffs
members were confirmed-they are
better providers. Frank Biart
came with chicken on each arm
(frled); Elmer Yoder must have
taken his wife's pet poodle to mar
ket as his hot dogs were fine. and
by the time Frank Phare had the
coffee made, everyone fell into the
chow line and it was after twelve
until the meeting adjourned. Van
Hoy and Sells we're docketed for a
wrestling match. but Van Hoy
failed to put in an appearance.
Guess old knot hole was afraid of
such a big boy.

With the unexpected arrival of the
division engineer of the Milwaukee
from Ellensburg, Wednesday night,
new railroad rumors terminated.
Gerry Wills, civil engineer and the
Milwaukee's star man in the West,
had nothing to say.
Four transcontinental lines have
surveyed through this valley. Railroad
facilities are assured. There will be
one road for certain. The Spokesman
will say two inside of two years.
Welcome to them all and happy
new year. A one-track line in this
valley in eth years could not prevent
fruit blocade. But the Columbia
river can always prevent railroad
blockades in the White Bluffs coun-
try. In the excitement of railroad
building, remember that natures own
highway will be the final regulator
of freight rates in this grand old
valley land.
A sorrowfully significant load of
freight arrived on the Steamer Noun
tain Gem from Pasco last Saturday
night.
1t was load of collins.

living room in winter has a humid

Most residences are not properly

Any container that can provide for

Increased humidity and lower tenn

that fuel bills were reduced from
