he also fills a lucrative position by appoint

Mr. Anderson declared the coming elec

IlrlggTs Serves olce.
Friday afternoon Chief Brlggs of the
police department served a notice on offi
cial of the Rock Island road to imme

tersection of Washington and Madison
streets. The city attorney has also been
directed by the mayor and council to com
mence suit against the Rock Island road
for 1504 to pay for lights ordered at rail
road crossings a year ago. It appears from
the records that this road never paid any
attention to the orders of the council re
garding arc lights at crossings, and so the
city ha maintained the lights for a year
with the expectation of securing the cost
by a suit in the courts.

STICKING FOR STREET CARS
Omaha Viewers Woa't Be Happy Till
They Get the Extension
They Want.
It was quite evident from the report of
the street railway committee of the Omaha
View Improvement club at Its meeting last
night thHt the extension of the Thirty
third street line from Parker to Maple
streets has not yet materialised. The theme
Is a favorite one with the Omaha Viewers,
but three years of deferred hopes have not
yet sickened their hearts, and the commit
tee is urged to contlnuo Its visits to the
street railway magnates and the city coun
cil with the determination to get the ex
tension some time. If not now.
Little encouragement was derived from
the report of tho special committee on the
prospect of abating the duliy nuisance up
about the Prospect Hill parks, and the
Cuming street dulry was cited as an In
stance of how such a nuisance could not
be abated. The owner of the dairy wanted
to be shown how he was to be ousted, and
the committee was cliarged with a further
consideration of the problem.
Sewer matters were discussed, and the
ewer committee wa directed to investigate
the proposed route of the projected sewer
In the district and see If It could not be
made to follow thejtlnuoaities of the creek
from Maple street south.
A motion was made by George 8ancha
that the Omaha View club go on record a
opposed to the t:0,QOO bond proposition to
pay off the floating Indebtedness of the
county, but the motion was subsequently
withdrawn from consideration, and made a
special order of business for next Friday
evening.
The matter of a bunch of half-grown
hoodlums who ure not attending school,
but who are putting In moat of their time
encouraging truancy among other children
of the neighborhood, waa referred to the
school committee, with the request that
the attention of the truant officer be called
to the matter and that the hoodlums be
properly admonished and disciplined.

adler General at Head of
Department.
WASHINGTON, March 2ti.-Reprcenta-tlve
Stevens of Minnesota today filed the
favorable report authorized by the house
committee on merchant marine and fish
eries on an amended senate bill "to require
the employment of vessels of the United
States for public purposes.''
The bill requires all government supplies
transported by aea to be carried In vessels
either owned by the government or flying
the American flag. The report bases the
necessity for the bill on the ground that it
never Is safe to depend on foreigners for
the defense of our own country.
The views of the mliTorlty of the com
mittee, prepared by Representative Luck
ing of Michigan and signed by Representa
tives Splght, Goulden, McDeimott and
Lucking, declnres the bill to be a step in
the policy of subsidising our merchant
marine, for which for seven years the most
active, persistent. Influential and unblush
ing lobby has been hounding the life out of
both branches of congress. The report
says that outside of the goods transported
In vessels owned by the government there
was paid In freights for such carrying In
the year 1901 KR3.954 and that "this carry
ing is done principally to the Philippines
and, like the major portion of all our war
and naval expenditures of the present day,
nas oeen rendered necessary by the Ill-advised
subjugation and retention of those
Islands."

The Kester dramatisation of the Major

from Its presentations here In the past. The

because of the connection with the company

Knott has the requisite charms of person
and the advantage of outh to make her
assumption of the rola of the Imperious,

a pleasing one. In her quieter passages
she very well realises the part, hut In the

JUDAISM THE OLDEST RELIGION
Rabbi Cohn Preaches on the Tople of
Ills Faith, Rsplalnlna; Ita
Grandenr.
In Temple Israel last night Rabbi Fred
erick Cohn preached on Judaism.
"The question Is often aked. What is
Judaism?" said .Mr. Cohn. "There Is a
necessity for an-answer to this question
becauso of the astounding Ignorance con
cerning Judaism, not only among those not
of the faith, but among the Jews them
selves. Many do not know why they nre
Jews except that they were born so; many
have no Intelligent or rational Idea of their
religion. Many believe with Heine that
Judaism Is not a religion, but a misfor
tune. These are ashamed and seek to
apologize, to hide uway their religion and
be silent. They do not know the glory of
Judaism; if they understood It they would
be proud to proclaim It from the housetops
to the whole listening world.
"What Is Judaism? Do you know that
it Is the oldest of religions? to you know
that It was before the Hlble existed? The
Bible did not create Judaism: Judaism
treated the Bible. Do you know that it Is
the mother faith of the leading religions of
the world? Those who are proud of the
faiths they worship derive them historically
and actually from Judaism. They are made
of the very elements of Judaism. Kmerson
said: 'To be great Is to be misunderstood.
How great must Judaism be, for none has
been so greatly, so grossly, so persistently,
It would almost seem so maliciously, mis
understood as Judaism. Is it not true that
tj the majority Jews are a sort of mys
tery? The same Is true a thousandfold
more of their religions. If. a Jew opens
the senate with prayer, the fact Is sent
over the country by the Associated Press
as wonderful.
"What Is Judaism? The Talmud tells of
a heathen who asked what was Judaism.
The answer was: 'That which Is hateful
unto thee, do thou not unto another." This
has since become familiar to the world In
It positive form as the golden rule. This
Is all of the law, the rest Is commentary,
Israel Zangwlll says: 'Sanity, unity, sanc
titythese are the trinity of Judaism.'
Taken Jointly and separately these consti
tute the very soul of Judaism. Judaism Is
nothing If not sane. It takes a reasonable
view of life. It lay an emphasis on life
here and duty to our fellow men. We do
not find reason conflict with faith; we are
not asked to accept blindly unreasonable
dogmas only what is right and reasonable.
For these things we should be proud of our
religion.
"Unity he latest discovery of the latest
philosophy, yet It waa taught by Judaism
since the earliest time. Unity has ever
been the central thought and characteristic
of Judaism. The Jews have always been
unitarians. Unity of the world, the unity
of mankind, the unity of moral law, the
unity of society. Tennyson says: 'One
God. one law, on element, one far off
Divine event to which the whole of creation
moves.'
"Sanctlficatlon, morality and righteous
ness are not only the mission, hut the pas
sion of Judaism. Oh, how proud we should
be when we think we have a part In thl
religion, which has come down to us
through all hardship and heroism. Sanity,
unity, aanctlty the Jewels or an eternal
Judaism. Thus may we find favor In the
eye of the world as true, self-respecting
Jewa and Jewesses."

AFFAIRS IN CONGO COUNTRY
Derribed to President and Secretary Hay
by Religieot Bodies,
TELL STORIES OF NATIVE ATROCITIES
Hands, Ears and Feet Chopped Oil
Heran.se Their Children Do Not
Gather Prescribed Amount
of Rubber,
WASHINGTON, March 16 -Reports of
the American Baptist, the Southern Pteihy.
terlan and the Disciples of Christ African
mission called upon Secretary Hay today
and described affairs In the Congo country,
as viewed from the missionary standpoint.
Stories of atrocities practiced on natives In
the Congo country by Belgium rulera were
recited.
They were Illustrated by photographs
taken by missionaries, the subjects being
children and youths, maimed and mutilated,
hands nnd feet chopped off, and. according
to the members of the delegation, all be
cause their parents and male relatives
failed to bring in the prescribed number of
pounds of rubber dally.
The missionaries also showed that their
work was rendered nearly valuless by the
attitude of Belgian officers In the Congo
country. They monopolized all of the food
supplies, making It difficult for the missions
to procure vegetables or fowl, or anything
to eat from the natives, who were obliged
to turn their produce Into the hands of
Belgian officers. Ly the cruelties the na
tives were driven away from missions and
schools.
Secretary Hay asked the callers to reduce
their plaints to a written memorandum,
which ho would consider. He could not
hold out any definite promise of relieving
the situation In the Congo, so far as the
natives were concerned, because the United
States was not one of the signatories to the
treaty under which the Congo Free Stnte
came Into existence.
Late In the day the delegation culled on
President Roosevelt, seeking his aid nnd
Influence to bring a change in the condition
In the Congo Free State. They called his
attention to the name facta they hnd pre
acntcd to Secretary Hay. The president
promised to give the subject careful con
sideration, requesting that he be supplied
with an accurate and detailed statement of
the situation.

Kitortlon that Make Ordinary
t'sory deem Mild.
James Shepherd, 61 years of age, of Twenty-first
and Manderson streets, was ar
rested last night on a warrant filed by
Haven T. Andrews of 1430 South Sixteenth
street, charging him with leaving the
county with mortgaged property. When
taken to the police station Shepherd told
an astounding story of paying extortionate
Interest that would make Shylock feel like
three dlmea when compared with Andrews
Shepherd said that five years ago he
mortgaged his furniture to Andrews for 125
and has since then to last July been pay
ing something like 200 per cent per annum
as Interest, in three-month payments of
$11. Since the original loan he haa paid
over 1200 and still owes the principal of 2S.
Last July he had an opportunity of going
to Colorado and working In the beet fielda
and asked Andrews' permission to leave
the county. Thl permission, he says, waa
granted him and he left.
Shepherd, who Is an old soldier, left hi
pension certificate and a personal note with
Andrews aa a aecurlty for the furniture he
was taking with him. He was unfortunate
however, in the beet fields, his old age pre
venting him from coping with the difficult
work and hla children fell 111. The old man
kept the mortgaged property through all
his trials, but the sickness In his family
forced him to sell the furniture to pay for
the medicine necessary. In some manner
or the other he managed to make his way
back to Omaha with his family and has
been living In a hand-to-mouth way since.
As Andrews hsd the pension certificate,
Shepherd has been unable to draw the pen
sion of $8 a month which la allowed him.
The old man was terribly broken down at
the police station and aeemed to feel the
blow deeply. Detective Dan Baldwin, who
went to Shepherd's home to make the ar
rest, found the family living In a three
roomed cottage amid the signs of direst
poverty.
SOME INSURANCE AFTER ALL
Small Poller Carried by Cheslar
Family, Which la Bnrned Ont
of Home,
It now develops that the Morris Cheslnr
family, which was burned out of house
and home at 2811 Chicago street, Friday
morning. Is not as destitute aa Mrs. Cheslar
at first feared. While every available
thing they owned In the wo-ld was lost, and
the mother barely escaped with her baby, It
appears her husband carried a ymall
amount of insurance on their effects, vMeh
will enable them to get a new start In life
on a sins 11 scale. Mrs. Cheslar's hand and
wrist were cut when she made her escape
from the burning house with her Infant,
but the wound Is not a serious one.
