STOPPED THE BIER
Tumult at the Funeral of
Late Chief Rabbi Joseph,.
FREE FIGHT WITH MOURNERS
Employe at the Hoe Press Plant
Turned Strcnnm of Water on the
Procession aianr Persons
Hurt Many Arrested.
NEW YORK, July 30. The funeral of
the late Chief Rabbi Jacob Joseph, head
of the orthodox Hebrews of the United
States, which was held here today, was
the occasion of one of the most remark
able demonstrations ever wltnesed In
this city, and led to a collision between
the masses of Jewish mourners and tne
police. The streets were packed with
thousands of Hebrews, the stores were
generally closed, .and every point of
vantage along the route taken by the
funeral procession to the different syna
gogues was crowded. Directly in front
-of the house where the body had been
lying in state lor tne last lew aavs, w
patrolmen kept the crowd from the en
trance with difficulty. After the services
at the house, the body was taken to each
of the six synagogues on the East Side,
where brief services were held.
"When the procession was passing the
printing press factory of R. Hoe & Com
pany, on Grand street, on its way to the
cemetery In Brooklyn, the employes Of
the factory emptied palls of water from
the windows of an upper floor upon tne
spectators massed upon the sidewalk.
Pall after pail, it is said, was emptied on
the throng, which shouted and struggled
and stampeded In vain to escape. Then
overalls and clothing soaked In water
came down from above, and even tools,
scraps of steel, bottles and a dead cat.
The angry populace, most of whom were
Hebrews, retaliated by throwing back
into the factory windows the missiles
that fell on them. They also gathered
stones and sticks, and in a few minutes
there was scarcely a whole pane of glass
on the Grand-street side of the factory.
Then some one turned on a hose and
played it indiscriminately all over the
funeral procession. At one tjme, as
many as five streams were playing on
the crowds. The drivers of the mourning
carriages whipped up their horses, tram
pling over citizens and the stronger men
trampled women and children under foot
in their efforts to escape.
The police. In the meantime, naa laxen
a hand In the trouble and were clubbing
the people right and left. They were,
however, unable to cope with the crowd,
and the reserves of half a dozen pre
cincts were dispatched to the scene. It
was more than half an hour before order
was restored and the streets In the vicin
ity of the factory cleared. A number of
arrests were made, among them being
several employes of the Hoe Company.
Many persons were found about the
streets bleeding from wounds on their
heads and other parts of their bodies.
Ambulances had been summoned In the
meantime and three responded. The sur
geons were kept busy for some time
dressing the wounds of the injured. Sev
eral policemen also were Injured, re
ceiving cuts and bruises. Two men were
taken to the hospital, one of them having
sustained Internal injuries and contusions
and the other sprained legs. Later in the
day. the persons arrested were arraigned
In Police Court and fines of $5 and $10
were Imposed In several Instances.
Bad feeling is said to eXjst between
some of the employes of the Hoe Com
pany and the Hebrews residing In the
neighborhood, and this is said to have
been the cause of the trouble. Herbert
Hoe. of the company, made a statement
after the trouble was over. In which he
says fighting was going on in the ranks
of the procession as it passed the fac
tory: lhat some of those attacked were
forced to the door of the office and there,
the fighting continued, while missiles
thrown by the crowd broke many win
dows of the factory. Then It was, says
Mr. Hoe, that his employes tried to drive
the assailants back by hurling missiles
at them and finally turning water on the
crowd. He added that boys working in
the factory had been in the habit of
Jeering at the Hebrews, and he had tried
everything in his power to have tne prac
tice stopped, even discharging boys of
whom complaint was made.
After the riot had been quelled, the
funeral procession proceeded to Brooklyn,
where the body of Rabbi Joseph was In
terred. The funeral procession did not
reach the cemetery, however, without in
cident. As it passed through a Brooklyn
street some one threw a heavy block of
wood from the roof of a building into
the line of mourners. The latter broke
through the police lines and 'tried to get
Into the building. Threats of clubbing
by the police finally restored order.
Forty thousand were crowded In about
the cemetery at Cypress Hill attempting
to witness the services at the grave,
"WAR ON TUBERCULOSIS.
Committee for Its Prevention Begins
Work.
New York Tribune.
A definite plan of operation was out
lined at the first meeting of the execu
tive branch of the charity organization
committee for the prevention of tubercu
losis, which was held this week. An im
portant event of the meeting was a dis
cussion of the feasibility of providing a
separate class in the general treatment of
consumptives, and arrangements were
made for Interviews with the officers of
such Institutions. There are already such
divisions as "eye and ear," "heart and
lungs." etc. By a classification of "throat
and lungs" It is thought that people who
have "hard colds." as consumptives often
designate their disease, will avail them
selves more readily of the privileges of
fered them In the dispensaries. It would
also prevent Infection among tne patients
waiting together In the dispensaries.
The subject of sputum cups, flasks and
papers received a large degree of atten
tion, and people with coughs will be asked
to carry them in their pockets and re
frain from spitting elsewhere. Japanese
paper, in small squares, which are Incon
spicuous and which can be carried In a
paper bag In the pocket. Is, It is thought,
are most practical. A resolution was
passed favoring the erection, under the
direction of the Board of Health, of a
sanatorium for incipient cases of tuber
culosis outside the city limits. This could
be done under the provisions of a law
passed by the Legislature two years ago.
It Is expected that the Board of Health
will Include In its next estimate the mon
ey for such a building. "While there are
hospital accommodations for 1000 tuber
culosis patients in this city, there Is no
provision whatever for people In the early
stapes of-the disease.
The committee also arranged for the
publication and general circulation of
leaflets giving advice as to the care and
treatment of consumptive people, and
those living with them. Edward T. De
vine, general secretary of the charity or
ganization, was authorized to employ
four assistants, among them an expert
statistician, a trained nurse, and a visit
or. About $1000 for the work has already
been raised. Of that sum 5230 was given
with the provision that $5000 be obtainejl.
After Diaz, the Delude.
Bneuos Ayres Herald.
It 4s probable that after the close -of the
Temarkable rule cf President Diaz, and
the passing of. this remarkable man, Mex
ico -will be thrown back upon a mass of
discordant elements and conflicting Inter
ests, and will become the prey of weak
and tricked men who would -rule or ruin,
and the years of the present rule be found
to have been nothing toward preparing
the people lor self rule; indeed. Dlas has
taken the entire work upon himself, and
the country has not during all these years
been educated In the duties of citizenship,
and it will remain a problem whether such
beneficent dictatorship '-will In the end
prove a blessing or a curse.

Castro Concentrating His
Xcar La Victoria.
Troops
WILLEMSTAD. Curacao. July 30. All
eastern ports of Venezuela, Including Bar
celona, have been abandoned by President
Castro, all of whose forces and resources
are being concentrated near La Victoria,
which is three days from Caracas, and
which is nearvthe mountainous district of
Curacao', where the advance guard of
revolutionists under G&eral Mendoza ap
peared some days ago. General Mendoza' s
forces retreated, however, to Join Gen
eral Matos' array, which today was in
the neighborhood of El Sombrero, end ad
vancing by forced marches. If these two
forces effect a junction It Is expected that
they will take the offensive against Presi
dent Castro.
Although there is much opposition to
President Castro, he still controls the sit
uation, and a single defeat Inflicted upon
the revolutionists probably would render
him. the arbiter of the country's future.
The President Intends to leave Caracas
for La Victoria Thursday. The revolu
tionists have reappeared on the outskirts
of Caracas.

XOT BRITISH POSSESSIONS.
England Withdraws Claim to Isl
ands on Honduras Coast.
NEW ORLEANS, July 30. The steamer
Condor, which has arrived here from
Puerto Cortez, Honduras, brings the
news that the British Government has
withdrawn all claim to sovereignty over
the Bay Islands of TJttlla, Ruatan, Bo
nacca or Guanaja, Felna and Barbarat,
and acknowledged that they belong to
the Republic of Honduras.
Great Britain's formal acknowledg
ment was carried to the islands by the
cruiser Psyche., which sailed from Ha
vana under sealed orders on July 17.
The British residents at Ruatan were
assembled, and a proclamation was read
to them by the captain of the Psyche,
declaring that under treaties made be
tween Great Britain and the United
States in 1830, and with Honduras In 1SG0,
His Majesty's Government could no
longer regard the islands as a British
possession, and would henceforth with
draw all exercised jurisdiction or claim
to the allegiance of the natives.
The population of the islands is almost
exclusively of British origin, coming
from Jamaica, but there are some Amer
icans from the "Western States who have
recently come In. English is the only
language spoken. The islands do a large
fruit trade, mainly with New Orleans.
The United States Government is the
only one having a Consul In the Islands.

"Oh, no." said Mercer. "That can't be.
You couldn't Impose upon him. He's too
shrewd."
"Well," replied the subordinate, "I'll
bet you a box of cigars that he will sign
his own resignation."
"I'll bet you." said Mercer.
On the official's derk was a pile of let
ters ready to be signed. Another letter
was written, purporting to be a resigna

slipped into the mass of correspondence.
A messenger carried all the letters down
to the chief, and Mr. Mercer and the
subordinate" waited. In 20 minutes the
correspondence was brought back by the
messenger.
Mr. Mercer lost the box of cigars. The
chief had signed his own resignation.
NATIONAL WEALTH.
Prosperity of the United States
Comes From Mine nnd Farm.
Hartford Courant.
It is a fact which many persons seem to
forget that all the material wealth comes
out of the ground. The pathetic stories
from the large cities connected with the
fresh-air aids have told more than once of
little children who had never seen green
graes and who had no idea of the open
country until given these outings'. There
are grown-up people of abundant wealth
who are equally Ignorant of what the
country is In Its relation to general busi
ness interests. They assume that when
stocks go up 10 points the country is
richer thereby, and that when a great
syndicate takes J5O.00O.O0O worth of prop
erty and capitalizes It at ?500,000,000. thlp
paper performance has created $460,000,000
of new wealth.
They buy and sell and go speculating
through life on this sort of assumption,

and do not stop to think that It is only
as the Iron and coal are dug up and as
the sunshine and the rain bring the grain
to the harvest that anything Is artled to
what alre-ady is. If we should find at the
end of the season that the early drouths
and the; later floods that have been so
prevalent have resulted in a serious crip
pling of the crftps, if investigation dem
onstrates that we have consumed more
than we have produced, then no amount
of booming can keep prices up. As yet
it Is early to determine a to this. We
have an Immense agricultural territory,
and the flood destroying everything in one
valley may bring needed moisture to
thousands of square miles of other field3,
and prove vastly more beneficial than In
jurious. It Is the destructive flood we
hear of rather than the rructifylng show
ers. But meanwhile It is well to bear in
mind that while speculators can grow
rich in their big deals, and the world can
watch with wonder their .great achieve
ments, still they are not producers. Some
body else gives up what they get, and It
Is the unnoticed producer who furnishes
the tangible material elements of pros
perity. Even legitimate buying and sell
ing, what goes under the general name
of trade and keeps so many people busy,
adds nothing to what already k. When
two men trade horses there are still only
those two horses at the end of the trade.
