The Jewish people of Omaha are highly
Indignant over a wanton Insult to their race
printed In an evening paper last Saturday
under the gtilso of n criticism on thealrlcal
management The attack pretends to ex
cuse the local theatrical imnagers for the
poor character of attractions presented by
slurring at the "grasping combination of
Jewish speculators , upon whom the cloven
hoof may bo recognized " It goes on to fray
that If the managers rcmonstralo Iho Jewish
sjndlcatu responds , "Veil , vol are jou going
to do apoud Id' " and that If they rebel the
Jewish sj-ndlcato has the ability and the
will to drive them out of the business.
A laigo number of prominent business
men who are not Jews have been forcible In
characterizing this uncalled-for and otlcn-
slvo publication as an outrage , with the re
sult that the management of the paper Is
trjlng Its best to apologlre and excuse Itself
on the giound that It did not know what Its
I'mplojes were printing \ well-known
Jewish merchant --aid jcstcrdij
"It Is plain tint this paper Is tijlng to !
stimulate lace prejudice against the Jews , j
The offender was emplojed by It with full
knowledge that he had shown a venomous
hall eel of the Jews b\ similar outbreaks on
previous occasions. Thla newspaper will
mistake the tcmpei of our people If It ex
pects us not onlj to submit to such Insults ,
but al the snmo tlmo to help support the
hect with our advertising patronage. That
Is asking altogether too much "

Collins was calm ab ho htood before the

Jurj had determined upon a coat of prison
stripes In lieu of Ihe glbbel.
