V THE MORNING OEEGONIAN, MONDAY, OCTOBER 5. 1903. EDITOR DRIVEN OUT Dr. Mosessohn Expelled From the Synagogue, HE ALMOST CAUSES A RIOT t JCoagrre Ration Talnrcd To rati He seats His Attach: oe Dr. JLevlne He and. His Sons Attempt As sault on. President Ostrow. Dr. N. Mosessohn, editor of the Jewish Tribune, is no longer a member of the Novah Zedeck Talmud Torah. At the an nual meeting of the congregation, held last night at the synagogue, a meeting fraught with much excitement and threats of bodily harm, he was expelled. Dr. Mossessohn and his two sons, David and Moses, -were on hand to protest against the action of the congregation, and when Dr. Mosessohn was voted out of the or ganization all three men started a disturb ance that for a time threatened to reach disastrous proportions. They made a rush for tho president, SL Ostrpw, brandishing -umbrellas, with arms flying semaphorlc fashion,' and, but for the timely interfer ence of members of the congregation, there perhaps would have been some hlood-letting. The row started at the annual meeting, which was called for the election of of ficers. According to the members of the congregation, Dr. Mossessohn has been a disturbing element ever since he Joined it. He was ambitious and an ofllce-seeker. He, so several members of the congrega tion say, kept himself so much to the foro that he made trouble for everybody. When tho Jewish holidays began. Dr. Mossessohn insisted that he be one of the first speakers on Bosh Hoshanah. Presi dent Ostrow refused to allow him to speak, because Rev. Dr. Levine, a visit ing rabbi from Chicago, was to make the address. Attack on Dr. Levine. The row simmered along until the open ing of the services on Tom Klppur, when Dr. Mossessohn rose during the services and bitterly assailed the address delivered by Dr.' Levine. Attempts were made to stop him, but Instead he turned his bat teries upon President Ostrow. Those who hoard Dr. Mosessohn's forensic effort say that It was the "worst ever." .During his tirade. Dr. Mosessohn is eald to have ad vanced to tho pulpit, and it was from that holy spot that he delivered his scathing denunciation. When it was over and the congregation recovered from the shock, a sort of informal meeting was held and plans for suspending the bellicose -member were adopted. Dr. Mossessohn got wind of what the congregation intended to do, and Is said to have made open threats of violence. The matter was allowed to drop until last night. President Ostrow was about to re tire, but he had determined that his last official act should be to act upon the sus pension of Dr. Mosessohn. Notices were sent out containing the charges against Dr. Mosessohn, which were interrupting the services and abusing the president. Almost the entire congregation was on hand, and allexpected the trouble which followed. Vote Almost Unanimously. From what could be learned of the row which took place In the synagogue and of the scene which followed, it seems that Dr. Mosessohn's friends were few. When it came to voting for his suspension, the vote was almost unanimous. It was whllo voting -was on that Dr. Mosessohn -and his two sons made a dash for tho president. When the row was finally quieted, the annual election proceeded, and the following officers were elected: L Apple, president; S. Dellar, vice-president; M. Abrahams, treasurer; M. L. Gale, financial secretary, and D. N. Mosessohn, corresponding secretary. The new trus tees are: I. Golsteln, M. Ostrow, M. Rein, j C. H. Davidson and P. Liechtzer. "Dr. Mosessohn's conduct on last Thurs day was outrageous," said one member of the congregation last night, "and his sus pension was nothing more than Just. He has repeatedly made threats of what he would do in case he was expelled, and he started to make his threat good when be attacked President Ostrow. He was simply Jealous and disappointed because he was not allowed .to run things to suit blmself. While we all regret the unpleas ant notoriety that this row has brought upon the church, the action of the con gregation could not have been otherwise." Dr. Mosessolm's, Side of the Case. B. N. Mosessohn. son of the Dr. Moses sohn, gives the following version of the affair: v "In the first place, there was not much of a row, and the matter as it came up was occasioned by this man Ostrow's hav- intr failed to land the nomination for president. He has always been after it. and this year the entire membership, with a few possible exceptions, decided that they have had enough of him, and in this way he was sore because Mr. Apple was elected in his place He even could not land tho first trusteeship, for which he ran. "Dr. Mosessohn did not criticize ' Dr. Levine on Tom Klppur, but criticized his statements made in a sermon delivered last Rosh Hashono at the synagogue, In which he criticized our Talmurists and spoke against several orthodox principles. Ostrow took exception to these remarks and got up and insulted Dr. Mossesohn by stating that he was sorry that any one should have been insulted from the pllplt. whereupon Dr. Mosessohn declared that he bad insulted no one, and that the presl dent had no right to get up and make any statements, as the meeting was the proper place to remonstrate. "Apropos, Ostrow was recently appointed administrator of the estate of a rabbi who recently died In Portland, and the matter of putting up a monument came up for discussion. In the first ' place, it was through the decision of the then board of officers that he was made administrator. Complaint was made to the congregation at a regular meeting that on an estate of $003 this Ostrow allowed the attorney $100, besides not making proper use of the bal ance. A committee of te,n was appointed to decide what should be done with the balance of the money left in his hands. He consented to abide by the decision of this committee; but, the decision being unfavorable to his own ends and purposes, he disregarded this board of arbitration and did as he liked. This matter has also much to do with the trouble in the syna gogue. Denies Power to Suspend. "Relative to Dr. Mosessohn's suspension or expulsion, I wish to state that he is not suspended, as the president cannot sus pend any member, as he himself is the party interested. The majority of the con gregation Is with Dr. Mosessohn on this, and no motion for suspension was passed, as the meeting adjourned in disorder. Relative to tho minutes ot the congrega tion, I wish to state that the present re cording secretary is but a boy In his teens, and is not able to write English correctly, and Beldom if ever are his minutes ap proved without amending them In such a way as to change the entire minutes. Tho matter of suspension has not been put in the minutes, and, If it has, they have not been as yet approved, as we do not meet until the second Sunday in Novem ber, consequently the statement i 1, tho minutes that, may have been shown to an Oregonlan reporter are nothing but de liberate blackmail. No Threats to Kill. "As to threats to kill and such non sense, this Is ridiculous; there was no such -thing even mentioned, as every one knows that Dr. Mosessohn is not so blood thirsty as to seek revenge in this manner. Any statements made to this effect are manufactured out of whole cloth. Dr. Mosessohn has the highest opinion of Dr. Levine, but of course cannot agree with his views on several religious topics. I am, indeed, very sorry that such a thing should have ever come into print, but it was not 'of our choosing, but of the dis affected minority who lost tho elections, our nominees having all won out with the exception of one. This Is all the work of soreheads who In private life lend each other sums of money and then stick by each other for fear of losing the money lent by them one to another. I will re peat that there was no suspension what ever, and In this declaration I have a large majority to back my statements." President Apple's Statement. Isaac Apple, tha newly elected president of the congregation, stated to an Ore gonlan reporter: "I am very sorry that anything of this kind should have come into print, as It is disgraceful in the ex treme. I sincerely disapprove the action of any person or persons who were In strumental In letting this out. Drv Moses sohn was not suspended, as tho nieetlng adjourned in disorder, and there was no vote taken whatever." Trustees C. Davidson and I. Goldstein made statements similar to that of Presi dent Apple. BUTTS INTO TACOMA DOCK Tngr Etta "White Cannot . Handle Empty Abyssinia. TACOMA, Wash., Oct. 4. (Speclal.)--The British Columbia tug Etta White, of Vancouver, devoted nearly all day to cruising aimlessly about the bay with tho Norwegian bark Abyssinia in tow. Monday tug and tow will be libeled for $4000 for smashing into and badly damag ing the Tacoma,tug Echo, owned by Cap tain O. G. Olson, of this city, and which was lying at her berth at the Commercial dock bunkers when she was run into. The Etta White and Abyssinia kept up their cruise after the collision because to anchor or dock in port would oblige both vessels again to enter and clear at the Custom-HouBe. The Abyssinia has a' charter to load a cargo of lumber at Chemainus, B. C, for Capetown. The tug Etta White came down from Vancouver Saturday night, and this morning went up to the Balfour dock to bring out the Abyssinia and tow her to the Canadian side. Tugboat men say they advised Captain Anderson of the Etta White, that it would be a dan gerous proceeding to attempt to bring the ship, light, out of the channel with but one tug. The Etta White took the Abyssinia's hawser, however, and started to tow her stern first out of the channel. Tug and tow were Just beyond the transport DIx when the Hawser parted. The Abyssinia was so light that her rudder was useless and the breaking of the line left her helpless. She quickly drifted Into tho Commercial dock, where tho Echo lay at the coal bunkers and smashed her stern into tho port side of the tug. Captain Anderson wired his owners for advice, and as a reply was expected hour ly, tug and ship spent the day in the bay, cruising about to avoid entering at ine v;usiom-iouse. io instructions camo and they tied up at the buoy. NO WRECKS ATTEMPTED. Story of Obstructions on A. C. R, R. Proves to Be Unfounded. Aiji-uiUA, oct. 4. (special.) A rumor was current on the streets here last night that three attempts had been made during Friday night and early Saturday morning to wreck trains on the Astoria & Columbia River Railroad between Hammond and Fort "Stevens, but as near as can be ascer tained there is no foundation for the story. Conductor Eaton of the rock train and Conductor Richard Blue of the morning passenger train, both of whose trains, ac cording to the story, narrowly escaped colliding with obstructions that had- been placed on the track, saying that nothing of the kind occurred. Neither of them saw any obstructions on the track or had heard of any such occurrence. John Mc Gulre, superintendent of tho Astoria & Columbia River Railroad Company, em phatically denies the report. He said to day: "There Is no truth whatever in the story that attempts were made on Friday night or yesterdav morning to wreck our trains. The train crews reported nothing of the- kind, and after the report became current on the streets I interrogated the crews and found that no such thing had happened. have made a thorough investigation of the matter and can find absolutely no basis for the story.

The French bark Montcalm arrived in today. 136 days from Swansea, with a cargo of coal for Astoria and Portland. She re ports an uneventful trip.

A Tome mat permanently Dencnts, INSANE MAN LEAPS He Flees From Hospital and Spreads Terror. MAKES MANY MIDNIGHT VISITS Delirium Drives John Peterson to Flee, Xaked, From Imaginary Spirits He Holds Vp Fright ened Men. for Clothes. Jumping stark naked from a window of the St. Vincent's hospital. John Pe terson, temporarily Insane, tried to enter number of houses in North Portland, early yesterday morning, and In doing so scared a dozen people almost out of their senses. When he leaped from tho high first- story window, Peterson fell face down ward upon sharp rocks and cut a deep gash in his temple. With blood stream ing from this wound, his ghastly ap- 'vpearance and his naked condition were enougn. to rngnten any man or ordinary bravery into a faint. After the police men of the North Portland beats had been upon his. trail for nearly an hour, he was captured In the terminal grounds, over a mile away from the hospital. Tim J. Concannon, the grocer of Thur- man street, got the worst scare. Hear ing a noise in the store part of his build ing, he investigated. Opening a door leading Into the store, he was almost knocked down by the naked form of Peterson, who, yelling loudly, rushed at him and out Into the night. Mr. Concannon could hardly believe his senses, but he recovered sufficiently to telephone to the police station. The message of Mr. Concannon that an in sane burglar, stripped of all clothing, had broken Into his store on Thurman near Twentyfourth came close upon other messages from persons ail tne way from Johnson street to Thurman. Sometimes it was simply a crazy man who fled past the pedestrian, again it was a daring burglar, who tried to on ter buildings, particularly residences. The patrol wagon, with Driver Isaacs and Sergeant Hogaboom, went out to bring in the insane man when he should be captured. All the patrolmen of the North Port land beats were on the lookout, but Pe terson, in deadly fear of the evil spirits who he said" were trying to kill him at the hospital, was on the run constantly. A few minutes after he made the hair of Mr. Concannon rise upon his scalp, Peterson appeared before the firemen of tho Plntsch gas works In the terminal yards. Out of the night there had come an apparition which made the men think they had encountered a devil fresh from Hades. 'Gimme a shirt and a pair of socks. demanded Peterson. Seeing that he was Insane, the fireman made no delay in stripping off his own shirt and handing it over to Peterso He was too scared to raise a word of protest. Tho patrol wagon following upon tho wandering trail of Peterson came upon him in the gas works. He was speedily placed In the wagon and taken to the sta tion, where the hospital attendant, al ready aware that Peterson had escaped, was notified to come and get him if there was a cell where he could be safe ly coniined. with his wound still bleed lng, and dressed In a - shirt and socks borrowed perforce, and an old pair of trousers picked up by tho way, Peterson went back to the evil spirits in the hos pital. He was suffering from a. fever and had become temporarily deranged KILLED WITH AN AX. Club Boatmen Attempt to Chastise Negroes With. Fatal Result. LOUISVILLE, Oct. 4.

J., Oct. 4. Officials of the American Bridge Company are inter esting themselves in the case of Albert Stelner, a former employe, who went under the name of Charles ' Lewis, and who was sentenced to a term of 10 years in the Massachusetts State Prison at Charlestown.
