M'NUTT SPEECH
Interpreted AS.
RAP AT CRITICS.
Judge Baker, Vaguely, and
EStiII, More Plainly,
Seen as Targets.
BY DANIEL VI. KIDNEY
Times stan Writer

Although he did not mention
them by name, Governor Paul V.
McNutt was being credited today
with having criticised two of his
critics-Criminal Judge Frank P.
Baker and Prosecutor Robert G.
Estill.
Judge Baker is from Marion
county and Mr.. Estill from Lake
county.
Although Democrats, both have
been outspoken against the NIcNutt
administration at various times.
Judge Bakers remarks have made
many a headline and only last
week Mr.. EStill was charging that
Captain Matt Leach of the state
police was handling the Dillinger
capture with an eye for state ad-
ministration publicity.
Pose With DiIIinger Hit
Later he himself appeared in wide
~ published photographs with his
arm around John Dillinger. Both
were smiling. although as pros
ecutOr, Mr.. Estill will demand the
death penalty for the gangster, who
is in Crown Point jail charged with
murder Of an East Chicago police
man during a bank robbery.
In a recent talk on improved law
enforcement. Governor McNutt
cited the need of electing competent
lawyers TO the criminal bench.
Unfortunately We have in some
courts in Indiana. men whose show
manship destroys the dignity and
usefulness of the bench. Governor
McNutt declared. They are, how
ever. a small minority"
This was the critical dart said to
have been aimed at Judge Baker.
The Governor was more specific in
his criticism of the Lake county
prosecutor. He cited Warden Lewis
z. Bawes' comment on the bad
effect of the Dillinger-E still pictures.
which also appeared in news reels.
McNutt Praises Leach
Such friendly poses of prosecu-
Tor and criminal are in extreme bad
taste and add nothing to the con-
certed effort to stamp out gangs
and aid in law enforcement" Gov
ernOr NcNutt declared.
He paid high tribute to the con-
duct of Captain Leach in handling
the Dillinger case. and also the aid
in extradition given by Attorney
General Philip Lutz Jr. and the
Governor of Arizona.
Reaffirming his stand for placing
the state police force on a merit
basis" GoyernOr McNutt said the
personnel must be increased so that
there is at least one officer to every
county in the state.
He approved the plan of AL Fee
ney, state safety director. for a
statewide radio hOokup for the
force.

ing audience, among whom were the President
of the United States the mayor of this city,
the Hon. Mr.. Dunlap Of Maine, the Hon. Mr.
Collamer Of Vermont the Hon. Mr.. Yost Of
Pennsylvania, and other distinguished citizens
and strangers. The edifice stands on Eighth
street. Immediately in the rear Of the Patent
Office, on the site generously given about
year since by the late Gen. Van Ness.
Its dimensions are fifty by seventy feet, and
Its neat and unpretending architecture reflects
the highest credit on the taste and judgment
of its enterprising and generous protector, Mr..
c. L. Coltman, and on the skill and hberahty OF
the artisans who were employed on its erection
So many of our worthy mechanics and other
citizens have aided to a greater or less extent
towards the erection of this edifce that it would
be impracticable in a notice of this kind to
mention all who have generously contributed OF
their labor and means. Their names, however,
are registered upon the memory of the heart
and win be long and gratefully cherished by
the pastor and members of this infant congre-
cation.
I'VE cannot however, withhold the need OF
deserved praise from our worthy fellow citizen.
Mr. James B. Phillips, plasterer, to whose skill
and liberality the edfice is largely indebted for
the chaste and elegant workmanship with which
the interior is enriched and beautified. 1t is
due to him to say that this portion of the
building is the subject Of universal admiration.
The Venetian blinds, made by Mr.. Noel OF
this city, both by their neatness and excellent
quality, are in good keeping with the internal
finish of the church, and reflect credit upon
the mechanical skill of that worthy citizen.

Ocean, can know but little of
N the troubles of the Jews of the
NM Old World, except that, from
" our idea of religious freedom,
we naturally feel that in some
places they are being severely prosecuted. How
ever, regarding the Jews of washington, we
can speak more intelligently, for here we have
known many from childhood have grown up
with them have associated with them for many
wears in civic and fraternal organizations ana
in business enterprises, and are naturally
familiar with their sterling qualities and all
the attributes that go toward the making OF
good citizens.
1t is not an easy matter to trace the coming
of the Jews-or Hebrews, If you prefer the
racial name-to the District Of Columbia
Others more familiar with the subject than
is the writer, have tried it and failed, except
to state as a fact that fairly strong colony
was here as early as 1847, these being mostly
young men, clerking in stores and going 10
Baltimore for the main holiday service.
Dr. Abram Simon, that learned and schol-
arly rabbi of this city, says in his Notes on
Jewish Interests in the District of Columbia"
that he could find but two Hebrew names in
the Washington directory Of 1884, and that
these were Capt. Alfred Mordecai and E. A.
Cohen and then proceeds to quote Miss Rosa
Mordecai, who stated to him that when her
brother Frank died here in 1841 her father
found it impossible to reach any Jews who
could be called to attend the funeral rites
E. A. Cohen & Co., referred to by DR.. Simon,
is said to have published the directory mem
toned. Nine years later the same source
dscloses but two Cohens living here, Robert
H., a shoemaker, and Mrs. S. j., boarding
house keeper. Mordecai was then an Army
captain, residing on the north side of Penn
sylvania avenue between Nineteenth and Twen-
tieth streets, which was probably in one Of the
Seven Buildings in that block.
I IOWEVER, the earliest authoritative date
Of the coming of Jews to the District Is

city directory for 1843, '46, so or go. The
city directory for 1850 carries the name of H
Lissbregan, confectioner, s. side Pa. av., btw.
II and Is W. and this is probably the name
intended. In 1850, Memo Lully was in the
clothing business at 389 Seventh street north
west, and resided at the same address, which,
according to the present numbering of houses,
was the west side Of the street above H.
Levi Cohen resided at the corner Of H street
and Pennsylvania, between eighteenth and
nineteenth streets" and from here the little
band took up their quarters in rented room
on -Four and d-a-Hah street and Maryland ave-
nue. southwest, then to Seventh street near
D northwest
In 1854" according to DR.. Simon "Mr. Sam
Herman came from Baltimore and was
the first officially elected Chazan, serving also
in the capacity of secretary for one year. Dur
ing his year the services were held in the home
Of the president, Isaac Herzberg, on the avenue.
between Third and Four r-and-a-Half streets"
THE Rev Solomon M Lansburg came here
! in 1857 and assumed leadership of the con-
gregation, which was, in 1860, at 369 Fourth
street, west (old numbering Later we find
the members meeting at the corner Of Ninth
and d streets northwest, and at the time the
move was made to the present location on
Eighth street between H and streets, they
were meeting in Harmony Hall on D street. be-
tween Twelfth and Thirteenth, which quite
likely had previously been known Finkmans
Hall, and into which they moved on September
4, 1861, as recorded in The Star of September
S, which says: "' There was a very large at
tendance at the new synagogue on d, near
Thirteenth street Qate Harmony HalD, which
was first opened as a place of worship by the
congregation"
The present site on Eighth street is of his
torc interest, since, before it became the prop
erty of the Washington Hebrew Congregation.
here worshiped the members of the Central
Presbyterian Church; then it became the meet
ing place of the Methodist Protestant Church
South and during the Civil War, from july
1852. to March, 1863, it served as an Army
hospital.
The corner stone of the Presbyterian Church
was laid early in July, 1845, and the National
Intelligencer of July of that year, gives the
following account:
1.-THE corner stone of the new Presbyterian
Church intended for the Rev. Septimus Tlstin
and his congregation, was laid on Wednesday
evening with appropriate solemnity. The site Is
upon Eighth street, between H and I streets;
and the stone was laid by the Grand Lodge of
Masons of the District of Columbia, Dr. w. B.
Magruder, grand master, officiating. The open
ing prayer was made by the Rev. Mr.. Samson,
and the other ceremonies were performed by
the Rev. H Smith, Rev. Mr.. Eggeston of Bal
timore, and the Rev. DIR. Muller of this city.
The Rev Septimus Tlstin also delivered an i'm
preSsive address"

Church. Washington"

A SSUMING Judge Hagner's statement to be
correct, that the Jews did for a while wor-
ship with other German-speakng congrega-
tions. naturally this must have been unsatis-
factory, though it was the best they could do
under the circumstances, and So If this condi-
tion ever existed-and there appears to be some
doubt-it did not continue after 1882, when
the Washington Hebrew Congregation was Or
ganized, April rs, of that year, and first met at
the home of w. jacob, on Pennsylvania avenue,
between Nineteenth and Twentieth streets
probably also in one of the Seven Buildings"
The officers chosen at this time were: Presi-
dent Solomon Pribram; vice president. Jacob
Saqui; treasurer, Jonas Gluck; secretary, Albert
Horwitz, and the membership, from both sides
of Rock Greek, included Leopold Oppenheimer,
Moritz Fischer, Herman Lissberger, Levy Whet-
field, Moses May, Leopold Gassenheimer, w.
Jacobi Feist Hanlein, Sam Wallach, A. Bern
stein, Sam Bien Moses Friedenwald, Abraham
Strassburger and N. A. Schlors. For the use
of the new congregation, Sepher Torah was
borrowed from Nathan A. Schloss Of George
town, then in the dry goods business, on Bridge
(now M street, where he also resided.
The first services, from 1852 to 1854, we are
told were held in homes of H. Lissberger and
M. Lully, and then over the home of L. Cohen.
The name of Lissberger does not appear in the
Evening star., 1934-12-16

1881, in which he makes the following re-
marks:
1T appears from the proof that about the
year 1882 a large number Of Germans found
themselves domiciled in the City Of WASH
ington, which then contained no church where
the services were performed in their own
tongue The bond of nationality proved
stronger than devotion to religious forms and
they all, from time to time. assembled in
common worship conducted in the German
language by some of their members, and the
testimony discloSes the rather remarkable fact
that this company of foreigners, composed of
Jews Roman Catholics, Lutherans and CAL
vinists, for considerable time continued in
harmony to attend the same religious exercises
About the close of the year at one Of these
religious meetings, it was mentioned by some
one present that he understood there were two
lots of ground in the western part Of the city,
which had been set apart by q certain Jacob
Funk for the benefit of German religionists 1t
was therefore decided that inquiry should be
made to ascertain the facts The result of the
investigation disclosed that on the assessment
books Of the city there stood in the name Of
d. Reintzel for Lutheran Congregation a lot
at the corner of Twentieth and G streets, and
in the name of Reintzel for CalviniSt Society,"
a lot at the corner of Twentysecond and G
streets.
But shortly afterward they took possession
of the lot at the corner Of Twentieth and G
streets, and by the joint efforts Of all, the
Protestant Germans, a church was erected for
their common use; the Jews and Roman Cath
olics having previously withdrawn and allied
themselves with congregations of their own
faith"
Commenting on this statement, DR.. Simon
says that at this date 1882 1T is
not likely that there could have been more than
half Dozen" meaning that number of Jewish
persons in the District; yet it is impossible"
he continued, Ito identify every one"
