IS FAMILIAR WITH POLITICS Has Mirny Jewish Friends "Who Are Confined In Siberia. Dccame of Aliened Socinltitla Ten. dencles. Among the more than 1,000 students en rolled at Crelhgton university Is a score who have come to Omaha and Crelghton direct from foreign countries. In this number Is Abraham Rubnltz, a second year student at the Crelghton Medical college, Vho tells many Interesting talcs of dark Russia, the land of his birth. Rubnltz came to this country three years ago from Russia and located In Omaha. Last year ho enrolled In the medical department of Crelghton unlvcr. slty, and within the next three years hopes to attain the degree of M. D. He Is' a good student, earnest, and well liked by Ids fellow classmates. Hubnltz Is n small, unimportant looking Individual, with light blue eyes and sandy hair. It Is only upon Intimate acquaint ance that his modest exterior melts and he will talk about himself. You should have no trouble In conversing with him, that Is, if you can speak any of the fol lowing languages: Russian, German, French, Latin, Jewish or English, for he speaks them all. Rubnltz has the unique distinction of stating that English Is the easiest ot them nil. He says that the large vocabulary of tho English language makes It easier, for the beginner Is not hampered by a multiplicity of case end ings. Russian, In the belief of Rubnltz, Is the hardest, as it has more cases than the Latin. Attended Ilunnlnn Schools. 'Rubnltz lsthoroughly familiar with tho eqhool system of his own country. In fact, It was because of that school sys tem that ho camo to America. Born of Russian Jewish parentage In the little town of Starobln, county of Sloutzk, In northwestern European Rus sia,' he attained the education offered In the common schools, which resemble our public schools. After graduating from the public schools, he entered tho gym nasium at Sloutr.k. This typo of school offers a nine-year course, and grants to Its graduates a "Certificate of Maturity." As an example of the military precision which Is so noticeable In school affairs, the picture of tho student Is attached to the diploma, lest forgery of credits be attempted. This certificate of Russia Is equivalent to the n, S. degree of this country. Rubnltz secured his certificate from the gymnasium at Sloutzk. In order to graduate from a gymnasium, the student must take a rigid system of examinations, although it Is not neces sary for him to attend classes during the school year. Ho may have a tutor at home, and If he passes the exams, all Is well and good. This latter course was pursued by Rubnltz. The Russian government wishes only to grant certificates to those who are known to have the right political faith, andja close record of each student's ac. tlvltles is kept. When he applies for the rigltt to bo examined, he must present k certificate from tho head of tho police ?ipfraent ot hls th i "PJJjitlcaUy pure." t j, feefnsed Admittance to . Cohere. tfpon graduating from the gymnasium tU SJoutzk, Rubnltz -wished to take up the study of engineering, and made applies, tlenj for admission io the mathematical department of St. Petersburg university. He wa refused because of his Jewish Wood, for there existed at that time a Ti forWdlln" mow than S per cent Jewish student enrollment at that uni versity. In the following year, 110, he Rgafn made apllcatlon, but the permitted Jowlsh enrollment was already present, and he was again refused. It was then that he conceived the Idea of coming to the. United States to study, as he had heard of the freedom of the country. He. accordingly set sail for America, ar riving hero In August, 1910. Aftor Inquiry In this country, he soon learned that the engineer of this country Is not the man of Influence he, Is in Russia. Thew he Is forced to take regu lar state board examinations as is the physician In this country, and is prac tically assured of steady employment. Rubnltz gave up the idea of, studying civil enginerlng and turned to medicine as the best field for the young man of today. The ordinary physician in this country Is not looked upon with the awe oc- RUSSIAN LAD COMES TO THIS CITY FOB EDUCATION. ABRAHAM RUBURTZ. corded those in the old country, accord ing to Rubnltz. This, ho says, Is not because of the superiority of the physi cians across the waters, but because of tho Ignorance of the masses. Only the mlddlo clases can oven send their chil dren to tho public schools, so great Is the expense In proportion to the wealth of tho people. Tho masses are left ab solutely uneducated as a"result. On the othor hand, thoso who qualify for the professions do so 'only after a severe course of training, and are necessarily well prepared. In order that a student secure an M. D. In Russia, he must first secure a "certif icate of maturity" from a gymnasium, and then take the course In the univer sity. All universities in Russia aw un der government control, and aro but eight In number. As this number must furnish higher education to a population of IEO.000,000, the attendance at each Is largo. The .equipment Is of the highest order, the buildings being among the fin est In Europe. At some of the lectures as many as 3,000 students attend. Profes sorships In those Institutions are only at tained after years of study, and aro only held by those who aro well advanced In years. The tuition Is practically the same as In this country. Friends Confined In Siberia. Rubnltz knew several young men who later were sent to Siberia for what the government termed "socialistic beliefs." Two of these acquaintances later escaped, crossed the Paclflo, and are now living In New York. According to Rubnltz, the old Nihilist party Is dead In Russia, and In Its place has developed the socialistic Nihilist or revolutionary socialist. Al though this latter arty Is not as, vio lent as their predecessors, they have fre quently killed office holders and 'taken extreme measures. At the beginning of the twentieth cen tury, whin Rulyiltz wan a student, the government . was especially strict with Tfiose'stispectcd of revolutionary tendeni cles. On, one occaslbn a classmate at (Sloutzk was sent, to Slborla tor life for having socialists letters n his posses sion. Night searches of the homes of the suspected ones was a common oc currence', and one never could feel securo of a good night's rest. Will Never Return. Rubnltz says that' he will never go back to Russia as long as conditions re main the same. In some places tho per secution has even, become moro severe than when Rubnltz lived there. At St. Petersburg, where .3 per cent of the stu dents could bd Jows, now the Jew is barred entirely. Ruhnltz says that Jew ish and Russian people, when left to themselves, live happily together, and that the persecution of the Jews In that country Is entirely a political matter. Forest and Jangle.

When the Vol- turno burned at sea the oil steamer Nar ragansett was among the many that hurried in response to the wireless ap peal. The Narragansett, in addition to quieting the seas, took on twenty-nine survivors. When she docked at Pur fleet, Kngland, after the Voltumo dis aster. Captain Harwood told his story. The facetious message attributed to him of "Coming with the milk In the morn ing" was a surprise to him; he had never sent It, and had not heard of It before. "I replied to the Carmanla's message," he said, "by saying that I was coming full speed to pump a circle of oil around tho ship, bo that the boats could go to and fro In safety and more speedily. I said I would be there by 8, and I arrived at 7, ship's time, and started pumping out oil almost Immedt. ately. Ten minutes afterward we put out two boats, First Officer J. B. John son being in charge of one and Becond Officer J. E. Noton of the other. So quickly were they able to get through the water that they were back In twenty-nine minutes, the first boat with twenty-one passengers and the other with eight. Our second officer saw Captain Inch leave the ship, the last man to do so, and called for three cheers for him. "It was oil that made the thing pos sible. What the liners want In order to Insure greater safety is not more boats, but ono or two oil tanks. It was a great experience for us. I have always be lieved In oil, and now I swear by It It was wonderful to see the difference In the ease and speed with which the boats were got through the water once they entered the oil area. We wer,e pumping out oil for nearly two hours, and I should think sent out about fifty tons- no more." "All our crew seamen and firemen-. worked 'double banks.' The only trouble we had was that everybody wanted to go In the boats to the rescue. The cap tain of the Volturno told our recond of ficer that he did not Mailt any more boats. There were enough alongside to take everybody on board off. Otherwise, we could easily havo sent more." PUTTING ONE OVER FAT MAN Comedians Throiv a fleara Into flaurillyDrrsrd Indi vidual, They aro telling In Broadway, New York City, a story about Eddie Foy and George Cohan. Coy and Cohan one autumn aft ernoon sat side by sldo In a Fifth avenue bus, when a fat, gaudily dressed man entered, his manicured and scented hands covered with huge rings. "George," said Foy, "I don't like that fellow's looks, and I'm going to make him get out before we reach Madison Square." "All right, Eddie." said Cohan, calmly. Foy fixed his gazo on the fat man's glittering hands, and a change camo over his face. Ills eyes became dull and star ing. His Jaw hung slack and loose "Me want ring!" he shouted suddenly, and ho pointed at the fat man's hands, and at the same time Jumped up and down In his seat and waggled his elbows up and down In the air, Just like a baby. "Ring! Mo want rlngl" Cohan' took the cue at once. "llldo your hands," he said quickly to the fat man.' "Your rings bother him." Tho fat man frowned uneasily, but he would not hide his hands. "Ring! Ring! Me want rlngl" repeated Foy, and Cohan, as he strove to hold his friend still, said: "Don't give him a ring!" "Huh! I guess I won't!" growled the gaudy fat man. "Qlve him a ring, In deed!" And he looked at his diamonds complacently, Foy'a eyes wero now shinning. Ills face was red and contorted. He hopped up and down and waggled his arms more ve hemently than ever. "Mo want rlngl" ho he roared "Rlngl Rlngl Rlngl" "For heaven's sake," said Cohan, "hide your hands, mnn! Don't you see you're bringing on one of his spellsT Hide your hands, or I won't bo responsible for tho consoquenccs." A littlo pale by now the fat man re luctantly put both hands behind his back. "Tills 1b the limit," he said, appealing to tho other passengers. "Idiots riding In omnibuses! Ain't that tho limit, frtondsT" But Foy leaped to his feet. "Ring!" he roared, and he leaned on the fat man's shoulders. "Olve me ring!" Cohan now soemed to lose all patience. "Oh, hang It," he said, give him a ring or two, and let us have some peace? Can't you see I've lost my power over him?" But the fat man, tearing his pudgy hand from the persistent Foy'a grasp, rose and ran full tilt for the door. "Conductor, stop!" he shouted. And ho leaped off two blocks before Madison Square was reached. New York Herald. Well Worth It. Mrs. do Smyths had lost her pet, a microscopic absurdity of a dog that she called Marcus.
