We are celebrating great event in
the life of Austrian .Icwry. March 10th
marked exactly u hundred years since
the first synngog was opened In Vienna.
The opening Of the synagog was the
outward sign OF the attainment of Jew
ish emancipation not only in Austria,
but throughout Central Europe.
The Jews of Vienna and of the whole
of Austro-IIungary lived hundred
years ago under circumstances of hu-
initiation which It is impossible for us
today 10 realize. Only 800 Jewish souls
We're allowed at that time to reside in
the Austrian capital. These 100 families
obtained their permission to live in
Vienna by special liberation letter.
They We're not citizens with equal
rights, they We're only tolerated. and
they had to nay for this special priv
ilegc. The liberation charter was
given by the King only to certain
number Of individuals in n family. If

the title of baron He had. therefore,
to wait until one of his family died and
thus created "A vacancy for new mcm-
Der. If n Jew wanted to marry he had
either to wait or else to leave Vienna
and seek his fortunes elsewhere.
In addition to these tolerated Jews
there We're also few hundred Jewish
families who lived In Vienna illicitly
These last had TO register as servants
Of the tolerated Jewish families. There
was more than one Cohen registered as
washer Of the bodies OF the dead in the
Jewish cemetery or as bearers of the
crs among the Jews in those days. and
the Government officials did not under
stand much of Jewish customs. other
wise they would have known that n
Cohen could not engage In such Jobs
These servants" had to report every
fortnight to the so-called Jews of
fee" where they had to produce new
certificate from their employer" that
they were still in his service, Other,
wise no new fortnIehtly permit to live
in Vienna would he given to them.
They lived in Vienna from fortnight TO

and they had to queue up sometimes
for half Il day nj the entrance TO the
Jews Office until their turn came.
This high office" was appointed TO deal
with "Jews. scdan-chair-bearerS, and
carriers And old, learned Jews had
to stand in the queue together with the
sedan-chair bearers and the carriers.
The tolerated Jews too did not have
an easy time of it. Money and high
influence was not enough: even big
loans to the Emperor himself were not
enough.

PROSECUTOR REPLIES
TO PRISONERS SUIT
Rover Says He Did Not Promise
w. G. Davis Shorter Sentence
Than He Received.

Assistant United States Attorney
Leo A Rover, on behalf Of Maj. w.
l.. Peak, superintendent of the Jail.

he was about to be sent to Ieaven-
worth penitentiary. Attorney l. G. H..
Award served a writ Of habeas corpus
on the Jail authorities.
Davis in his petition claimed that
he had pleaded guilty at ole term or
the court and was not sentenced until

term of court had expired. He also
asserted that Rover had primised him
a short term Of go or 90 days or maybe
a nolle pros. Rover points out that
the court has Jurisdiction until a final
Judgment is entered in criminal case.
which judgment was the sentence Of
the court, and it made no difference
when the plea of guilty had been
rendered. AS to the alleged promise

suggested that. but did say that he
would advise the court that Davis had
been of assistance in the prosecution
Of other cases. which he did before

Mr.. Blanton next quoted from a

speech made by Mr.. Hogan, one of
Mr.. Jennings battery of attorneys
before the House judiciary commit
tee, which speech by Mr.. Hogan was
made a year ago at a banquet of the
Washington Real Estate Board. In

any sort of modified form of Christian
ity, but it is essentially anti Christian.
DR.. Fosdick is one of the outstanding
enemies Of the Christian faith"
In support of his charge he de.
sciibed the refusal of DR.. Fosdick to
accept an insistence upon baptism
by immersion, and said that the
modernist leader had circularized the
Baptist denomination fostering the
principle of inclusive membership in
the church, by which baptism in any
form would cease to be a requisite
of membership.
THAT is perfectly consistent with
the Fosdick position" DIR. Shields
said. But Baptists are revelation
lists rather than rationalists, and
when they yield their belief in the
Scriptures as the infallible and au-
thoritative word of God they sur
render the last logical reason for
their existence
