THE H0RNI3G GftSOKIAtf, FBIDAY, SEPTEMBER 19. 1002. . 11 APPROVE HAH ACT Jews of Portland Discuss Tyranny in'Roumania. ' CUNNING OF THE PERSECUTORS Br. Wiue Tells How KoaraRHla Has Violated Berlin Treaty .by Success ive Lavra Aimed to Drive' -Out Jew. The action of Secretary of State John fcay ia calling upon the gTeat powers which signed the Berlin treaty, to take steps to put a atop tt the persecution of the Jews In Roumanla meets with the hearty approval of the Jews of Port land, who have taken a deep Interest in the troubles of their fellow-countrymen in Europe. The Interest of the United States in the aubject is declared to he ,ral, on account of the yearly increasing Immigration of Roumanian Jews to this country and the almost uniformly impov erished condition In which they arrive. The best-posted man In Portland on the persecution of the Roumanian Jews is r. Stephen S. TVIse, rabbi of the Temple Beth Israel, who has read everything pub lished recently In the newspapers of this country and Europe. "The best descrip tion of the Inhuman treatment to jwhich' the Jews have hecn subjected in Rou manla." said he to The Oregonian, "is contained In an article in the Ncue Freie Presse, of Vienna. It says that If there is anything on which the Jews insist It is education. In the first place, public In ptruction is Tree according to law, hut ewisn cnimren are taxed as high as 100 irancs a year, in no school is the percent age of Jewl3h children, permitted to reach over Ave, and the Jews are thereupon compelled to build their own schools, which close both Saturday and Sunday. The Minister cf Education has decreed that public schools must be open six days in the week, but the Jews are forbidden to have school on Sunday on account of the Christian religion, and on Saturday on account of their own. As a result of this all educational opportunities are practically denied to children of Jewish parents. Decree of Practical Exile. "AU Jews are designated as aliens. To . aliens is denied the light to live in .vil lages. In order to make it impossible for Jewe to dwell in any portion of the land, very nook and corner of the country is decreed to be a village, with the result that residence in Roumanla Is denied to Jews. ''The Jewish Chronicle, of London, the most important Jewish paper published, declares in its issue of August 15 that the 'powers have taken important action with .regard to Roumanians treatment of the Jews.' I speak of this only to show that jthe United States Government is not alone in intervening in hehalf of the Jews of .Roumanla. As a result of an investiga tion of the conditions held by Bernard Lazare, it has been decided to convene a congress in Europe, to consider the prob lem of ameliorating these conditions. Among those who have already given their adhesion to this movement are Senators Trarieux, Francois de Pressense, chief editor of the Temps; M. Jaures, leader of the Socialist party in France, and MM. Zola and Miraheau. Excuses by Stonrdxa. "M. Stourdza, Prime Minister of Rou manla, lately set out to Justify the pol icy he has pursued toward the Jews. Hs said: TbeJloumanlan. JCIngdom- belonged to the Roumanians -when- they thought ap4 acted., as Roumanians.' Historians ere. agreed that Jews Jived in Roumanian territory as. early as the time of the Daclans, prior to the fall of the Roman Empire, and right through the Middle. Ages. In fact, there is a Jewish tradi tion that after the destruction of Jeru salem and the dlanersion hf tVit .Tpwh Tftus they were received into Roumanla J PF me lung, wno assigned to them a city on the borders of Transylvania. There fore, to class Jews among aliens and for tifiers la contrary to he facts of his tory. following this up. Mr. Sturdza said that article 7 of the Roumanian consti tution declares that foreigners cannot hold landed property. Secretary Hay re fers to the Berlin treaty, under the terms of which the equality of all creeds before the law was proclaimed. Lord Beacons fleld, the great figure of the Berlin con gress, eelzed the opportunity to regulate the Jewish question in Roumanla. The article of the Berlin treaty which was to "place on a footing of equality all resl flenta of Roumanla was speedily abro gated by the government, and Roumanla foon began to treat its Jews, not as clti sens, but as aliens, without, however, granting them the promotion ordinarily accorded .to aliens. In the year 1S80 833 Jewish soldiers were declared to be citi zens of Roumanla, but many of these "were dead when Roumanla Issued its pat ents of citizenship. In the 21 years since that; time not more than 25 Jews have been naturalized as citizens. Canningr Devices Used. "The rjaos refined and diabolical cun ning has been resorted to in order to rnalce the condition of the Jews intoler able. After they had been declared aliens their occupations were constituted polit ical rights which only Roumanian citi zens, could exercise. Year after year laws were parsed forbidding one employment ef ter another to Jews, the 'climax being reached in 1899, when restrictions were thrown around the liberal professions. In JS91 Jewish children constituted 38 per cent of all the pupils. Today they are practically eliminated from the public schools. The public buildings of Jewish communities are taken away from them and the indemnity withheld. The Prefect of Police of Bucharest in 1883 summar ised the situation In the words: 'Liberty, equality and fraternity are for us Rou manians, not for the Jews.' With all this, thousands of Jews served in the Rou manian Army, and the moment their terms expired they ceased to be citizens of the country for which they had borne arms. Exodns to America. "The economic criEis of 1893 merely accentuated the evils of the general situ ation, which had become unbearable. Nothing was left for the Roumanian Jew but emigration. Aa the result, the emi gration to this country in the last three years could not have been less than 10,000. The Independent Order of B'nal B'rith put its machinery at the disposal of the relief agencies which were dealing with the problem, and during the year ending Julr 1, 1901, distributed about 2400 Rou manians to about 220 different towns in the United States. Most of the immi grants were adult males, but since their establishment many who have become Self-sustaining, and even prosperous, have 8 ent for their families. This has been the case in Portland. It la comforting and inspiring to find our .own Government taking a stand In protest against the inhuman practices of the Roumanian Government toward its Jewish residents. It now remains for the European powers to take their stand with our government. n me governments could intervene to better the lot of the Armenian subjects of the Sultan, why should not these self-same powers step forth to demand humane treatment of the Jews by the Roumanian Government, which owes its very existence to a Jewish atatesman, Benjamin Disraeli? Become SeU-Snpportingr. "On theotber hand, there is little dan ger, in my Judgment, that tho Roumanian immigrants will not prove 'either accept- j Hb!e)r beneflciaV to quote the words of j .nr. iay. jn the past three years we have had occasion to observe bow quickly they become self-supporting and rdent citi zens and patriots of our country. Pro fessor Salomon Schechter, late reader in rabinic at Cambridge University. Eng land, and newly elected president of the Jewish Theological -Seminary of New York, Is a Roumanian exile. N Little need be ,fearcaV in my Judgment, on the score of the: character of these Immigrants. The old-time elasticity of the Jewish people, nurtured by centuries of perse cution, quickly makes itself felt and a year's residence in this country suf fices, as a rule, to convert them into self supporting and self-respecting American citizens. Our Government has taken a noble stand, and should be resolved to continue its endeavors to emancipate the fettered and wretched millions of Jews in Russia and Roumanla.' AttltlSllh at iUf lnnr.... "At the time I was in Turkey the'per--l secuuon or the Jews in Roumanla bad not really begun," said the Hon. Solomon Hjrsch. ex-MInlster to Turkey, "or at least did not come to my attention. The acute stage of the persecution com menced since I came home. In Bulgaria the Jewish people have the opportunity of making a living. I do pot think they are discriminated against very severely. In Turkey they have every opportunity anybody else has. The persecution Is a great deal worse In Roumanla than . in Russia. Russia would be quite willing to have pressure brought to bear on Rou manla by England, Germany and Aus tria. Austria Is quite a factor, because Roumanla borders on her territory, and most of the Jews who come to America have" to come through Austria. There arc quite a number cf Roumanians here who were driven out of their own coun--l try. and are now making a goad living at mechanical trades, They are bright peo ple, well educated, and their persecution is due to the Ignorant Greek priests who control the country. "Secretary Hay has taken up the mat ter in Just the right way. He says: 'These people are coming to us. You are making paupers of them - and sending them to us. We object to receiving pau pers.' " Credit to This Nutlon. "It Is an excellent document," said Adolphe Wolfe, of Llpm&n, Wolfe & Co., referring to Secretary Hay's dispatch. "It Is a great credit to this country to put itself on record against treatment of tho Jews which reduces them belpw the level bf the animals. I sa'y this not because I am a Jew, for I would say the same In regard to such treatment of any civilized bejpg; It Is a' -noble act of Mr. Hay, and has elevated him as a reprcsenr tatlve. of this, country. I could introduce ypu to a man in this city who was driven from Boumania and arrived here penni less, though he is a -man of fine educa tion. When he arrived he could not speak a word of English, and asked me for $5 credit to start doing something for him self. He is as straight as an arrow, and I would give blm J5G00 credit. He has gone Into business here, and the first thing he did was to Join the Jewish Be nevolent Socjety.". r "Why Jews Are Not Farmers. Ben Selling also expressed strong ap proval of Secretary Hay's dispatch, and pointed Qut the contrast between the treatment given the Jews in this country and In the less enlightened countries of Eastern Europe, saying: ' "I have held several positions of trust In this coun try, but I cannot-even enter Russia, sim ply becauso I am a Jew. We find fault with the Roumanian refugees because they are not farmers, but they are not allowed to own or rent land in Rou manla; so how could they be farmers?" "It seems as If the steps taken by Sec retary Hay to bring international pres sure to bear on Roumanla to make her live up to her treaty obligations were the only remedy for the persecution of the Jews," said Julius Meier, of the Meier & Frank Company. "We have known for years that this sort of thing was going on, but It has been Impossible to find a remedy until now.' HISLOP RESISTS ARREST. Draws Revolver on SMpwaHc Ipqncc tor and Tells Him to Git." With a revolver In hla right hand, Thomas Hislop, who lives on Grand ave nue, near East Salmon etreet, backed Sidewalk Inspector J. ?v Carr out of his house yesterday, and refueed " to con sider himself arrested, Carr did not have a revolver to enforce his authority, and he "got." The trouble occurred when Special Of ficer Lillls and Carr found. Hislop, Jo seph H. Black and J, H. Canrlght en gaged in laying a wooden sldewalj: on Union avenue, near East Clay streot, and tho trio were Informed that they were under arrest, charged with violating -ordinance No. 12SG2, known as the cement sidewalk ordinance. Lillls had no dif ficulty with Black and Canrigbt, and the latter willingly acpompanlcd him to the police station, .where they made arrange ments for their appearance at the Mu nicipal Court- "Before I go with you I'd like to go home," paid Hislop to Carr, and the lat ter obligingly consented. "Come in for a minute," remarked His lop, In a nice, social sort of tone, when the two reached the Grand-avenue house. Little suspecting what was before him, Carr accepted the invitation, and was astonished when, it is charged, Carr sud denly appeared levelling a revolver at the devoted head of the sidewalk inspector. "Now 'git,' " said Hislop. Carr hur riedly walked out, and. reported at the police station wkat Hislop had done. HIs lop, however, also called at the police otntlon and give himself up, and. was di rected to report at the Municipal Court. Here charges of. violating th sidewalk ordinance were made against the three defendants, and on the motion of their lawyer, the cases were postponed until Monday. No mention of the revolver 'epi sode was made to the Municipal Judge. Deems Outlook for Canada Bright. NEW YORK. Sept. 18. Mr. Fielding Is the only Canadian Minister now remain ing in London, cables the correspondent there of the Tribune. No consultations are in progress with any department of tho British Government. Mr. Fielding la likely to await the return of Premier Laurler, who left Geneva yesterday for a short Journey to Italy and expects to sail for Canada early In October. Mr. Fielding does not exprcro dissatisfaction with the work accomplished by the imperial con ference nor does he look" for Important changes in the relations to the self-governing colonies with the mother country. He reflects Sir Wilfrid Laurler's opinion that the industrial and commercial out look for Canada -Is full of encouragement and hope.

A Monthly Iksne "Will Be Printed De voted to Indnntr'al Development of Coos Bay District. Major L. TA, Kinney, of the Great Cen tral 'Railroad, and allied enterprises for tho development of the Coos Bay coun try, is confined to his bed atithe Port land Hotel with an attack of the grip. But ho had energy enough yesterday to kill the third Issue of the Bangor Ex change, the P3per started with the idea of setting before the world the advantages of the country to be served by the Great Central Railroad. "The reason I did that," said he Jn speaking of the matter last night, "is that its editors were making too much pf a newspaper pf It. That was not my Idea of 'it at all. It bad too much the coloring .of Bangor, which is not yet a town and will not stand high coloring without taking the appearance of a fake. We must hot swell too much about the things that arc to be. But there is all that magnificent country between Coos Bay and Salt Lake City that the world knows - nothing of. Information about that region should fill the Bangor Ex change for Vthe present until the time shall' come for making a newspaper of It. t should tell the truth about the country that lies in our field. Its mis sion Is to Carry that Information wide, to the people who want new homes and those who want new Investments. So I have killed the third Issue of the weekly. We shall continue the publication as a monthly, however, and hold It to the Idea of promoting the industrial development of the country." The following telegram received yester day from Commissioner Hermann, of the General Land -Office, was better than medicine to the Great Central chief: Washington. Sept. 18. Major L. D. Kinney, Portland, Or.: Am sreatljt rejoiced with the aplendid proppects secured through your in domitable energy and puhllc epjrJt for a rail way from Coos Bay to Salt Lake. No under taking n the country offers safer assurances, la my opinion, for profitable Investment. BIN'QER HERMANK. Major Kinney says Eastern peoplo are showing considerable interest in the Coos Bay country. Four Duluth capitalists have Just returned from that section, where tjiey made considerable invest ments, though they did not buy much In the new town. They bought a large tract of acreage near Marshfleld. The Easterners who go there to Jnvestlgato become impressed with the great possi bilities of the country and want to share in its development. The subject of the Columbia bar and the recent reports concerning It came up in the course of conversation. Contrary to expectation the Major did not draw from It the lesson that Coos Bay is the coming' seaport of Oregon. "It is well to have the truth concerning those mat ters set forth," said he. "A true state ment of poor conditions will not do half the damage that a wreck would do.

DUMB MAN IN COURT, 'Curio'nM Case Before Judge Hograe "Wltk a Woman Prosecutor. A charge of breach of the peace was. made against Ben Dyson, a deaf and dumb man, In the Municipal Court, yes terday, on complaint of an East Side woman who would not give her name. The case was continued until - today. Dyson Is the man who recently saved a woman's life by assisting her to get out of the way when she fell in front of a moving freight train at Albany. For ths act he was presented with a 1000-mile ticket-book by the Southern Pacific Rail road. Tho woman complainant stated: "This man frightened me yesterday. He opened the rear door of my house, walked In, and offered to sell me writing paper. I did not want any and shook my head. He shook his fist In my face and then he Incujted me." "In what manner?" demanded Munic ipal Judge Hogue. "Well, sir." replied the woman hesitat ingly, "he made Insulting motions with his hands." "Nonsense," remarked Attorney Fer rera, who represented Dyson. "He meant no harm. He was only talking to you In the deaf and dumb sign language. Madam, have you ever been to an asylum for the deaf and dumb?" "No, I've not" ' "Did Dj'son not display a card reading: 'Deaf and dumb,' when he first came In to your house?" "Yes, slr "Were you not washing at tho time, and did not your hands soil his writing paper when you handled it?" "My hands were not wet," persisted the woman. "Why did be insult mo, then? Why did he shake his fist in my face?" "That'p easy," returned' the lawyer. "He shook his fist In the air to signify that he could do without your trade." Written question and answer brought out Dyson's defense. He wrote: "I did not Insult her. She would not buy, and I went away. I told her that I could get aiopg without ner money "Renllv. If I am pomnpllprt in rtn .... . - . est penalty." remarked tho Judee. "Madam," he remarked, turning to the woman complainant, "are you willing that this complaint, under the peculiar circumstances, bo dismissed?" "No." replied the woman, firmly. "The Court, of course, cannot ask you to do this, but " "I want the man punished," repeated the woman. That settled It and the case was continued. Dyson was allowed to go on his own ball.

CURRY IS IN GOOD SHAPE REPRESENTATIVE HUME TALKS OF COUNTY'S AFFAIRS. Railroad Is Wanted, but Is Not Es sential Great Sale of Tim ber Land. Curry County Is the most prosperous part of Oregon, according to Representa tive R. D. Hume, of Curry and Coos, who Is In Portland from Gold Beach. As overybody knows, Mr. Hume Is the wealthiest man In Curry County, and the moving spirit In all public affairs. He Is a salmon canneryrrian, and operates a bean and peapacklng plant In connec tion with his cannery.. Taken all to gether, his plant Is probabl ythe best in thp state. When it Is known that the 'entire county contains only about 2000 persons, cr less than 500 families, and that Mr. Humo disbursed In the last oeven months the sum of $100,000 for operating expenses, it will be understood what ah Important place his cannery occupies in the Industrial affairs of the county. The vcgetablecannlng plant 13 operated to give employment to the women and children, as well as men, at a time when there Is nothing else to be done. In the vicinity of Gold Beach 500 acres of peas and beans are grown for the cannery. As the county hao ship ping connection with the rest of the world by means of San Francisco steam ers only, the other Industries chiefly re Jpd upon are lumbering, woolgrowing and stockralslng. The people have been making money at these in th last few years, have paid off their debts and are In good circumstances. Their only debt burdens ia that which the county bears. In speaking yesterday of affairs in his county, Mr. Humo said: "We are very much In hopes that tne rallrQad from Salt Lake to Coos Bay will be built in the immediate future, and that a road will be run down the coast to Gold Beach and Chetco. We have reason to believe that a road wJH be built Into that country, even If the Salt Lake road Should not be constructed. A. B. Ham mond has been trying to get a right or way for a eoast line, and some Eastern syndicates have such extensive timber Interests that we have no doubt that a road will be built either down the coast or out to Grant's Pass. While we are not waiting for a railroad, and manage to get along very well without It, It would be a great convenience to have quicker connection with the outside world. "Our timber resources aro very great, and are practically untouched. There Is one mill-In the county and I am building another. Besides our fir, spruce and hemlock, we" have some very excellent forests of redwood. The redwood Is In the extreme southern part of the county, near the California line. A block of 18,000 acres of this redwood timber was sojd to an Eastern syndicate some time ago for $40 an acre. This Included 5000 acres of land I held. I venture to 6ay that the purchasers would not sell the land now for J3S0 per acre. Forty dollars an acre seems like a good price, but we have not realised the real value of our tim ber lands. They are nearly gone, and 1 predict that Jn two years from now there will not be an aero of timber land in the state, no matter how remote, that will not be In the hands of private owners. Our redwood lands were par ticularly desirable, because redwood trees will not burn like flr or spruce, ana there Is no danger of loss by lire." At the last session of the Legislature. Representative Hume secured the adoption of a memorial asking Congress U. S. National Bank. Alnsworth National Bank. Sept 20, 1901. Sept. 15, 1902.

The Oregon members In Congress took th8 matter up and secured favorable committee recom mendations, but, on the obiection of a member from Xew Hampshire, the mat ter wee laid over until the coming ses sion. While the payment of a claim of this kind would be the establishment ot a new precedent, Mr. Hume believes that Congress will see the Justice of the claim and pay It. If . the matter comes up in Congress prior to the convening of the Oregon Legislature.. Mr. Hume will make a trip to Washington and explain to a number of tho members ot Congress with whom he Is acquainted the merits of the claim. He believes that he cau secure aid fnough for the claim to effect its allowance. The road cost 75.0sX, or which sum the State of Oregon paid $14,000. The Ml,CO0 the citizens of Curry County want repaid Is the amount they expended especially for post road pur poses. The broad view Mr. Hume takes or hatchery work, and the burdens of sus taining it. Is shown by a few Incidents related yesterday by a Portland man who Is interested Jn the salmcn-packlhg Industry. Mr. Hume erected the hatchery plant on. .Rogue River, but It Is operated by the Government, the same as other Government hatcheries. In 1300 the su perintendent of the hatchery wanted a new dwelling-home and an addition to the hatchery plant. Mr. Hume heard ot hlswants and Immediately furnished him with "$15C0 to be U3ed for the purposes mentioned. In 1S0J a new water-wheel and some miner Improvements were needed and, as no Government funds Were available. Mr. Hume supplied the money, another J15C0. In neither case did the money expended tend to increase the supply of fish for Hume's cannery. The water-wheel a-aved the Government Its cost in cne year. While spending these sums of money, Mr. Hume was paying Into the State Treasury the license fee3 required of all canneries. AT WORK IN- HAWAII. Waa the United States Senate Com raittce Is Doinc. Honolulu papers Just arrived tell of the progress of the work of the1 subcommltr teo of the Senate committee on Pacific Islands, which "began Its hearings there September 9. Senator Mitchell, chairman of the subcommittee, and his secretary, H. C. Robertson, reached Honolulu the day before, as did al3o Senator A. G. Foster, of Washington, with his wife and their niece. Miss Griggs, and the Sena tor's secretary, Thomas gammons. The other -member of the subcommittee. Sena tor Burton, of Kansas, was already on the ground. At tho first day's sitting a letter was received from Bishop & Co.. calling atten tion to the fact that the-sllver currency of Hawaii had not yet been redeemed by the United States, A statement from the Builders and Traders' Exchange was also presented, of. which- the more Important parts were as follows: "The present deplorable condition of the affairs of the Territory of Hawaii in its relation to the General Government of the United States renders -It Incumbent upon representative local business organ isations to call your attention to matters of public welfare. "The Hawaiian Islands are so distant from the mainland In fact, the most distant large insular body In the world that there Is necessarily a multiplica tion of governmental, social and busi ness institutions and attendant expenso out of all proportion to the character and number of inhabitants as compared with, continental United States. "Situated directly In the highway of the Pacific, with frequent often almost cally steamship communication with Ori ental and Australian ports, en route to and from the Pacific Coast. Honolulu and Hawaii are extremely exposed to the violent epidemic diseases such as create public apprehension and terror. This occasions public expenditure- be yonu comparison with the numbers and wealth of this community. This expend iture Is ceaseless, as by vigilance only is the safety of health secured. "Hawaii, at its present sole expense, stands asa guard and quarantine be tween the Orient and United States ports. "While the number of lepers is gradu ally decreasing, yet at the present time they and their children and attendants, public charges, segregated on the Island of Molokal, number 1000, costing the terri torial government to maintain $135,260 an nually. "In Haw ill Occidental and Oriental civ ilization meet in a contest paralleled in no other country on the globe. "When the time comes that the Orien tal alienr as a body insist on a corre sponding standard of living and family status to that of the white man, the danger of the overthrow of Caucasian civilization will ceaes. To attempt to regulate by law these differences Is wellrnlgh Impossible. It Is In the power of the National Legislature, and particu larly In the ppwer of the National Ex ecutive" Department, the Army and Navy, to throw their Government patronage in support of the civilization they embrace and expect to have preserved for them and their successors. "It is not in the province of this com mittee to attempt recommendations as to the labor problem confronting our main and almost exclusive Industry, the raising of sugar.
