POLISH JEWS ARE
 QUITTING COUNTRY
Find Things Not to Their Liking
 in Palestine

Warsaw, Poland, Dec. 9. R-Pol- ish Jews who went to Palestine to live in the early days of the Zionist movement are returning to Poland by hundreds. declaring that they did not find happiness in their new home.
 Among the women the complaint is heard frequently that Palestine was too far behind the times in styles.
 Though Zionist sympathies are strong among the three million Jews in Poland, those who emigrat- cd to Palestine say they found 1t impossible to settle under the new conditions. The number of emi- grants to Palestine is decreasing in consequence.
 According to statistics of the Polish emigration office, 13,696 per sons emigrated to Palestine in 1925 and 2GS returned. In 1926 the num- Der of emigrants dropped to 6,S40 while the number of reimmierants increased to 1.SS6. From avail- able estimates for 1927 it is calcu- lated that the number of returning cmigrants will also be large.
 The Zionists say the failure of the emigration of Polish Jews is caused by the fact that the wrong class of people had left Poland. 1n- stead of lahorors and capitalists, who are needed. the middle bour- geois class formed the bulk of the emigration.
 Polish Jewcsscs, 1t appears, are most unhappy in Palestine. They have discouraged relatives and friends from cmigrating md are using their influence to get their men to return 10 Poland.
 A great number of Jewish men assert that their women are. de- moralized by the Vanity Fair reigning in the Warsaw Jewish quarter called "Nalewki," and that they feel unhappy in Palestine be- cause the styles are far behind Paris and Warsaw.

When the Ware case in reached A

When the Ware case in reached a much broader field of inquiry will be opened since there have been charg- es of irregularities in both the pri- mary and the general election cam paignS. The committee already has gone into the primary campaign very extensively, but it was prevented from lnquiring into the general cleo ton when the resolution to continue it during the recess was blocked by the iillbuster at the close of the last session.
 As indicated in statement which he issued after the senate refused yesterday 10 give him the oath Of office, Ware will go before the com. mlttee to establish his own conten- ton that all expenditures which he made in both the primary and gen. rral election were entirely proper and for legitimate purposes.
 Showing that it appreciated the magnitude of the job ahead, the senate gave the slush fund commit tCe until February to make its final report as 10 whether Ware should be seated.

INDIAN WOMEN
 FORMING CLUBS
0klahOmans Prove to Be Active
 Workers

oklahoma City, Okla, Dec. g. Lp, Indian women have had share in the westward spread Of the Cen eral Federation Of Women's Clubs, an organization that came out of the east.
 Many states have on their club membership rolls a few women with Indian blood, q few have clubs made up wholly Of Indians, but Ok lahoma has the largest number of these colorful women.
 Mrs. Czarina c. Conlan ot Okla homa City, Chicksaw-C -ChoctaW. was the organizer and first presi- ient Of the Indian Territory Fedora ion of Women's Clubs. When statehood came, the organization was amalgamatei with the Okla homa federation, but the interest and activity Of the IndIan women continued and increased. Particular ly are they active in movement looking toward bettering conditions among their own people.
 Mrs. Conlan Is chairman of In. l,an welfare in the Oklahoma fed eration and this committee. in CO., operation with the health and ma ternity bureau. is responsible for the health and hygiene instruction by a trained nurse now given 10 girls in all Indian schools of the state.
 Artistic and educati tional Indian programs have been presented throughout the state and the club women have encouraged bead and basket weaving so that these prini- tive arts may not be lost. Indian hospitals and sanitariums are sup piled with book and magazines and a motion picture machine was in- stalled in the Indian sanitariurn at Shawnee.
 Mrs. Conlan's most notable work IS that of supervisor of the Indian department In the museum Of the state historical society, a position which she has filled for eight years.
 Ut is quite true my Indian blood has given me entree into homes that others could not have" says Mrs. Conlan, and they have had faith in what I am trying 10 do, namely the building of a true and worthy collection reflecting the early Indian life of the state.
 One of the greatest thrills l ever lad was when the state board Of agriculture and the state depart ments planted 100 trees few years ago, each In honor of a citizen who had rendered outstanding service in the development and uplift of the state. I had the honor 10 be one of the five women thus honored and the only Indian woman"
 Mrs Conlan was educated in a private school for Indian girls and at the Mary Baldwin Seminary at Satauton. Virginia. Fond of travel, she has been abroad twice and has travelled extensively in this coun- try, Canada and Mexico.

NeY York, Dec. 10 P-Tammany Hall symbol of democracy on the Island of Manhattan since 17S9, is quitting it's 6O-year-old home on the fringe of the Bowery.
 From it's historic "WigWam" Oh the lower east side. Tammany will move within year to new quar- ters farther uptown, closer 10 the shifting center Of the metropolis and not far from Central Park and the spires of upper Fifth avenue.
 With it will go the paintings of past leaders which hang about the smoky walls. and the statue of Chief Tammany which rises from q metal cornice atop the dingy red brick building. But with the raging of the structure by interests which have acquired the site, a venerable landmark will be missed by q city which has no dearth of landmarks.
 To the nation at large Tammany Hall represents the democratic or ganiZation which has been a power in New York politics for genera tions and which sprang from a so- ciety founded 136 years ago by William Mooney, Irish upholstcrer, to fight the aristocratic fedoralists under Alexander Hamilton. But there Is also fraternal side of Tammany. or Columbian Order" closely allied, the charter of which defines it as a "benevolent and charitable society for affording re- lief to indigcnt and distressed mcm- hors, their widows and orphans and other proper objects of charity"
 Tammany's political star has not always been ascendant but the so- cicty has emerged from frequent political defeats with new vigor. IL was hardest hit when Boss" Tweed waA exposed for graft and imprisoned 10 die in Ludlow street jail. Other scandals have touched it, but they have been survived and, to great extent lived down.
 Ill modern years new Tam many has been heralded, led by such men as former Judge George W. Olvany, present Tammany chief tain: Governor Alfred F. Smith ot New York q saChem in the order; Mayor James J. Walker, l.. $. Scna- tor Robert F. Wagner and James W. Gcrard, former ambassador to Germany.
 Since women came into politics they have had a share in Tam many's activities and yeas in the society clubrooms have altered the social program of which Fitz Green Halleck, the poet sang century ago:
 There's q barrel Of porter in Tam
 many Hall,
 And the Bucktails are swigglng Il
 all day long
 Tn the time of my youth twas Q
 pleasure to call
 For a seat and cigar 'mrd the i0vial
 throng."
 But Tammany today still knows it's followers, cares for it's friends in need and walks arm in arm with the common folk from which it's political strength lies, almost if not

FARM BILL AGAIN
 STORMS CONGRESS-
(Continued from First Page)

upon by President Coolidge as the leader in efforts to work out the farm relief program on a basis ac- ceptable to himself and congress, but | how near the new bill of the Ore gon senator comes to a compromise acceptable to the president is prob lematical.
 Senator McNary said last night
 he had "every expectation" but no
 definite information that Mir. Cool 1 ldge would find way to sign the !! new measure. But other adminis- tration leaders seemed to doubt that
 the president would find it possible | to approve the equalization fee even ! in modified form.
 Meets Coolidge's Objections The new bill does meet MT. Cool idge's objections to the original pro-
 posal to have farm organizations
 nominate the members of the pro-
 posed farm board. as 1t gives him the right to appoint these members with the advice of the senate. The measure creates revolving fund of s250, ,000,0o0 which would be available to the cooperative market ing associations for loans at 4 per cent.
 Representative Haugen likewise is standing by the equalization fee, declaring the "main provisions of the bill will be the same as the previous measure with the establish ment of a marketing board to collect the equalization fee and the stipu- lation of the basic agricultural com modities.
 A number of farm measures all ready are before both the senate and house. Senator Borah, advanced a new proposal with a bill to license commission merchants and brokers in an attempt to suppress fraudulent practices in the marketing Of per ishable agriculture products. It IS understood this measure has the ad- ministration's endorsement.
