tor Of the Boys club. stressed the

in regard to the proposed construc-
ton Of q city recreation field at the

structed.

The United Press was told on
high authority to-day that a bank

all the ground recovered that was
lost during the drastic banking

D ATHER an interesting sidelght to the Jews
N Of the District Of Columbia is the part
played in their enfranchisement in Maryland
by Scotchman named Thomas Kennedy who
young man, set out from Paisley Scotland
on April Is, 1876, to make his fortune in
America. He was Of good ancestry, being de-
scended on his paternal side from the noble
house Of Cassillis, and through his mother from
the ancient house Of Lindsay and the illuStFiOuS,
though i'll -fated, family Of Stuart. He was the
youngest of family of II children nine boys
and three girls. IL of whom grew up, and one
of whom, Matthew Kennedy, having preceded
him to America by IL years, settled in George
town, where he married the daughter of John
Hines, the writer's great-great- grandfather.
Young Kennedy, who was born November 49,
1776, was not familiar with the whereabouts Of
his brother in America, and yet, strange to
say, after leaving the boat at Georgetown the
first person he met was his brother, Matthew.
He first settled at Matildaville, near the Great
Falls OF the Potomac, and later went to Will
Transport, Washington County, Nd and be-
came the leading merchant of that place.
He soon entered politics, serving Washington
County for a number Of years, as a Delegate
and Senator in the Legislature, and it was while
thus serving his State that he introduced, in
1922, a bill to change the Maryland constitu-
tion so that persons taking office would not be
required to declare their belief in the Christian
religion, and which provided drastic penalties
for disbelievers
Kennedy's action caused furor in Washing
ton County and two tickets were put in the
held-the Jew ticket" (so-called), headed by
himself, and the Christian ticket" headed by
Ben Galloway. Kennedy overwhelmingly
defeated. In 1925 he was more successful and
was returned to the Legislature, where his bill
was enacted into law, and religious freedom in
Maryland" from that date meant all religions.
He was a man Of considerable distinction and
the writer regrets he cannot give sketch OF
his life which terminated in 1882, when he died
in Hagerstown from cholera and was buried
there. But it is interesting to know that
man who first landed in the District OF Colum-
bia and whose connections lived here, rendered
such valuable service to the Jews Of Maryland.

1 lPON this occasion the Rev. DR.. Isaac Lesser
- of Philadelphia, who dedicated the syna-
gogue preached q short and interesting SER
mon, embodying reference to the Jewish re-
igion They had lived" he said, Gin one
faith for upward of 35 centuries since God
had instructed them, through Moses, how to
adore Him, and they knew that God had ia
vored them and for many years they dwelt
in peace and harmony together; but now they
were looked on as q degraded race; no one
had a kind word for them, and the finger of
scorn was pointed often at them. 1t was said
that they had done nothing for civilization;
but he contended that this was an error. AL
though they had not done much in the 1nven-
ton of arms and instruments peculiar to war,
they had done much to civilize the world.
They had trials in profusion but these were
nothing compared to Gods blessings. They had
lived in one faith for ages, and now the same
prayers which were handed down from Moses,
and the commandments given him are still
religicusly observed"
'They had as a class always been obedient
10 the laws Of the land in which they lived
and their hands had not been tainted with
