AID FOR SUFFERERS
Jews of Portland Acton Kish
inef Massacre.
RAISE $2000 IK SHORT TIME
Synagogue Rings "With Denuncia
tion of Russian Brutality and De
mands for Protest From the
United States.
Portland's Jewish people came nobly
lo the aid of their brethren In far-away
Russia yesterday, and today $2000 will
be sent to New York City to be added to
a fund raised for the purpose of succor
ing the survivors of the Klshlnef mas
sacre. Half of this sum was volntarlly
raised In the afternoon at the Talmud
Torah Synagogue, and the other half was
offered to Rabbi Stephen S. "Wise by the
several members of the congregation of
Temple Beth Israel.
For many days past the Jews of this
2lty have been horrified at the terrible
tales of Buffering and death reported
from Klshinof. and on Saturday It was
Anally decided to begin the work of
raising money with which to aid the un
happy people. This movement had its
conception In the members of the Talmud
Torah Synagogue, of Sixth and Hall
streets, and steps were Immediately taken
to raise a fund. The synagogue Is
largely composed of Russian Jews, and
they were particularly interested in
the work before them.
In the meantime the members of Dt.
"Wise's congregation besieged him over
the telephone, offering aid. and by noon
yesterday he had the promise of over
JSOO.
Following out their proposed plan of
action, the Talmud congregation held
an aid meeting In the afternoon, which
was successful far beyond all dreams.
The principal speakers were Ben Selling,
Rabbi Mosessohn, D. Soils Cohen, Judge
John F. Caples and Rabbi Wise. The
last named spoke at some length on the
subject at hand, reading the correspond
ence between- the Secretary of State and
the American Consul at Damascus during
the great Jewish massacres of 1S40. After
the speaking, the work of raising money
was begun, and before the members
finally dispersed $1000 had been accumu
lated. Eloquent Calls for Aid.
Dr. Mosessohn was the first to occupy
the pulpit. He was at one time a resi
dent of Russian dominions, and in a few
words told of the general conditions existing-
there. He spoke of the awfulness
of the recent massacres and revolts in
Kishinef, and of the desperate circum
stances In which most of the survivors
were left.
Ben Selling followed up Dr. ilosessohn's
words, and said: "There is but one thing
for us to do. They are our brothers,
whether they be Russian, German or
Polish Jews, they are our brothers and
we should help them.
"I can remember 22 years ago when the
first of these great persecutions was
committed against our brothers in Ar
menia. I cannot remember any single
year since then that has been free from
an act of this sort. We must, at any con
sideration, lend the fullest possible aid
and succor."
Mr. Cohen followed with another short
talk on the massacre, and still more
emphasized the fact that aid should be
rendered by the Jews In America. "It
Is terrible to conceive such an act In this
20th century, yet It Is before us, and we
must face it. Yes, that Is all we can do,
lace it. We must depend on ourselves.
Let Israel look to herself. We must de
pend on Israel, every son and every boy
must realize that we must depend on our
selves. "I desire to say that my feelings are of
the most friendly character to all the
Jewish people," said Judge Caples, "I
have ever received the most friendly treat
ment from the Jews, the most encour
agement from the Jewish people of the
City of Portland."
Dr. "Wise Denonnccs Rnsslo.
Dr. Wise then followed with the prin
cipal address of the afternoon. He was
thoroughly at heart with his work, and
said In part:
"As I came to this meeting today, I
asked myself, am I dreaming? Is It pos
sible in the year 1903 it should be neces
sary to call a meeting for the purpose of
aiding the victims of a riot and mas
sacre In a European land? Such things
did happen in the dark middle ages, but
daily we thank God that things are
different now. Has the impossible come
to pass? Did this massacre, brutal and
hellish, take place In 1903. I believe on
Easter day, the day dedicated by Christ
endom to peace?
"Do you wonder at Kipling's warning
against the fury of the Russian bear.
Yesterday the Czar of Russia proposed
the extermination of war and the dis
armament of nations and today his sub
jects proceed to wage a war of pitiless
extermination upon his subjects.
"I am ashamed, before the ark of truth,
to refer to the cause that led to the
riots. That old time foul and heinous
calumny was served up anew, the charge
that the blood of a Christian child had
been used In the synagogue for ritual
purposes. This calumny was pitifully
absurd, were it not hideously wicked.
2Co more defense is needed on the part of
the Jews against the charge than If the
charge were made against me that I
slew my brother and murdered my
child.
"I honor the ac.t of a rabbinical con
gress of some years ago in Austria,
which refused to take an oath that ritual
murder was not practiced among them,
on the ground that to make a denial of
euch an infamous falsehood argued a lack
of self-respect.
"The early Christian churches were
the first to be charged with the ritual
murder, and now after 1900 years this
rusty weapon of the assassin Is thrust
against the Jews.
"What is to be done? If we cannot
make good the horrors practiced by the
fiends In Russia, we can, at least, give
generously and unstintedly to the funds
which are being raised In order to pro
vide food and shelter for the 50.000 home
less Jews In Russia. Israel expects every
man to do his duty, and that is the
least we can do, and it is little enough.
Let us prove that we are one people now.
Let us prove. If we can, the words of
Zangwill.
" 'Here, of Israel. Jehovah, the Lord,
our God. is one.
But we. Jehovah, his people, are dual,
and so undone.
Israel's Hart, Christendom's Shame.
"But something more must be done.
"Statesmanship and the dictates of hu
manity call for other and larger meas
ures than mere money giving. The
Russian government must be made to feel
that the Jew is not friendless and alone
In the world, wherever he may be, that
we, his fellow Jews In free America, and
In every land, are his brothers, his
friends, his helpers. And still something
further Is needed. Unless, in the words
of the London Chronicle, humanity Is
to bo written down as a sham and an
organized hypochlsy. Europe must dis
sociate Itself from the leprous taint of
this barbarous power. Against these
medieval horrors a cry of protest must
go out from the powers of the world.
"Israel's is the hurt, Christendom's
Is the shame. Tho Christian world must
mako Its Influence felt that hard, ruth
less oppression may be stayed, and fur
ther violence be protested against. For
there are other Jewish settlements In
Russia, and the bold thlrstlness of the
Russian bear may not be wholly al
layed. Every Christian church In the
land should, upon some early Sunday,
pass resolutions of protest, and ask the
Secretary of State for the United States
to bring them to the attention of the
Czar through the Instrumentality of the
American ambassador at St. Petersburg.
One court must take the lead. I hold In
my hands the original letter, written by
John Forsyth, Secretary of State for
President Van Buren, to a committee
representing the Jewish citizens of New
York, called to protest against the .out
rages perpetrated upon the Jews of Da
mascus in connection with a blood ritual
charge. In this letter the Secretary of,
State declared that the American minis
ter at Constantinople 'was instructed to
Interpose his good offices In behalf of the
oppressed and persecuted race of Jews
In the Ottoman dominions, among whose
kindred are some of the most worthy and
patrlotlar of our citizens.' What Van
Buren and Forsyth did In 1S40, Roosevelt
and Hay may naturally be expected to do
In 1903.
Confidence in Roosevelt.
"One of the leaders of the Irish party
said many years ago, we have gone too
far not to go farther.' President Roosevelt,
rlghtmlnded and fearless, and Secretary
of State Hay, gifted and sagacious, Ap
pealed effectually and eloquently to Rou
manla less than a year ago. They can
not and will not do less in behalf of the
unhappy victims of government oppres
sion and mob fury in the Russian Em
pire. "There Is a higher law than the law
of nations, a higher covenant than that
of International comity the law of hu
manity universal, the law divine and In
violate. The operation of this law we
Invoke. When the Armenian outrages
were at their worst, the Rev. Joseph
Parker said in the City Temple of Lon
don. God damn tho Sultan of Turkey.'
We do not 'God damn the Czar of Russia'
or the people of Russia, or even the
fiendish doers of those deeds. May God
forgive them. Forgive them, father,
they know not what they do.
"We seek no reparation, we demand no
punishment, we ask not that the stored
vengeance of heaven may fall on the
heads, but we ask, and we do demand
and we do expect, that this nation lead
the peoples of the world In compelling the
people of Russia to treat its Jewish sub
jects in accordance with the dictates
of humanity."
Money Comes Pouring In.
A subscription was immediately start
ed, and the fives and tens began pouring
in. For a half hour the secretary had
a hard time keeping track of the donors,
and after a time it was "announced that
$400 had been subscribed. Mr. Selling an
nounced that If the amount were made
$500, he would add $100 more and make
It $600, and $10 for each $100 over that
Again the money came In, and after an
hour's work over $1000 was finally se
cured. It was then moved and carried that
Mr. Selling be appointed the receiver
of all funds for the city. The money
from Dr. Wise was also to be turned
over to him. and he was to be the central
treasurer for Jews of all classes.
Later in the evening Dr. Wise reported
that he had been promised $1000 which,
added to -the $1000 raised In the afternoon,
would bring the grand total to $2000. This
amount will be sent to New York this
morning, with the Information that more
will follow, for those in charge of the
work have set their hearts on no less
than $4500. No canvass will be made, no
sponging committee will be appointed,
but all subscriptions will be made volun
tarily. This will be the keynote of tho
subscription, voluntary subscriptions. Mr.
Selling will receive any sum that may be
desired to be given to the cause.
Former Protest Is Recalled.
The full text of the letters of Mr. For
syth Is given herewith. The first Is the
reply of the committee, and the second Is
the letter of instruction sent to the Amer
ican Consul at Alexandria:
Department of State, Washington. 14th
August, 1S40. John Glidden. Esq., United
States Consul at Alexandria, Egypt Sir:
In common with all civilized nations, the
people of the United States have learned
with horror of the atrocious crimes Im
puted to the Jews of Damascus and the
cruelties of which they have been the vic
tims. The President fully participates in
the public feeling, and he cannot refrain
from expressing equal surprise and pain
that In this advanced age such unnatural
practices should be ascribed to any portion
of the religious world, and such barbarous
measures be In order to compel the con
fession of Imputed guilt The offenses
with which these unfortunate people are
charged resemble too much those which,
in less enlightened times, were made the
pretexts of fanatical persecution or mer
cenary extortion, to permit a doubt that
they are equally unfounded. The Presi
dent has witnessed with the most lively
satisfaction the efforts of several of the
Christian governments of Europe to sup
press or mitigate these horrors, and he
has learned with no common gratification
their partial success. He is moreover
anxious that the active sympathy and gen
erous Interposition of the Government of
the United States should not be withheld
from so benevolent an object, and he has
accordingly directed me to instruct you
to employ, should the occasion arise, all
those good offices and efforts which are
compatible with discretion and your offi
cial character, to the end that justice and
humanity may be extended to these perse
cuted people, whose cry of distress has
reached our shores. I am. sir. your obe
dient servant. JOHN FORSYTH."
"Department of State,
"Washington, August 26. 1SK).
"Messrs. I. B. Rurshecdt, Chairman, and
Theodore F. Selxas, Secretary. V. and C.
Gentlemen The President has referred
to this department your letter of the 24th
Inst, communicating a resolution unani
mously adopted at a meeting of the Is
raelites in the city of New York, held
for the purpose of uniting In an expres
sion of sentiment on the subject of the
persecution of their brethren In Damas
cus. By his direction I have the honor
to Inform you that the heartrending
scenes which took place at Damascus had
previously been brought to the notice of
the President by a communication from
our Consul at that place, and that. In
consequence thereof, a letter of Instruc
tion was immediately written to our Con
sul at Alexandria, a copy of which is
herewith transmitted for your satisfac
tion. About the Bame time our Charge
d'Affalres at Constantinople was Instruct
ed to Interpose his good offices In behalf
of the oppressed and persecuted race of
the Jews In the Ottomin dominions,
among whose kindred are found some of
the most worthy and patriotic of our own
citizens, and the whole subject, which
appeals so strongly to the universal sen
timents of Justice and humanity, was
earnestly recommended to his zeal and
discretion.
"I have -the honor to be. gentlemen,
very respectfully, your obedient servant,
"JOHN FORSYTH."

A RESTFUL DINNER
Plans for Entertainment of
the President
WILL CLOSE HARD DAY'S WORK
Hotel Portland Will Be Decked la
National Colors and Oregon.
FloTreri Set Off by Electric
Lights Canopy Over Coiirt.
The dinner to be given to President
Roosevelt at the Hotel Portland will be
one of the most enjoyable features of his
visit. It Is not the Intention of those
In charge to make It a public function,
and the hotel managers will avoid every
thing that indicates display or self-interest.
The President will be given every
opportunity to recuperate after a hard
day's work.
The dinner will, as a matter of course,
be one of the best the hotel can fur
nish, but since It Is to be served as a
private function there is little likelihood
of the President's becoming weary as he
would of a public banquet.
It Is realized the President will begin his
day, on May 21, early in the morning
speaking to Southern Oregon crowds and
will reach Portland after a trip that
would have exhausted an ordinary man.
And so the committee in charge of his
entertainment has provided for the Presi
dent a programme that will not severely
ta'x his strength. The dinner In the even
ing was arranged as a function which
would afford him relief.
The dinner at the Portland will be
served with very few guests present. It
Is believed here to be necessary to Invite
all the members of the party that Is
traveling with the President, but thle will
be in the nature of a family gathering.
In addition some of the most prominent
men of Oregon and Portland will be
asked to take part In the affair.
At different times the suggestion has
been made that those local guests who
will attend should be asked to bear a
part of the expenses, but it is likely that
the people Invited to meet the President
at dinner will be those prominent enough
to engage his attention at Washington.
This means the Presidential dinner at
Portland, though a quiet affair, will be a
stato function that would be entirely In
keeping with his Washington life.
The dining-room, it Is planned, will be
decorated In a manner that will be en
tirely In keeping with the spirit of the
occasion. Not only will It be remembered
that the President is the guest of the
evening, but the decorators will endeavor
to show for the guests that the State of
Oregon can display some distinctive features-that
cannot be seen elsewhere.
The corridors and other public halls of
the hotel will be lavishly decorated for
the President's visit by the use of native
flowers and the National colors. Flags
will be used so far as possible, but flowers
and electric effects are to be tried.
Out in the court of the hotel. Into which
the President and his party cannot help
looking, the decorative features will be
well taken care of and the general effect
made one to speak of In the future. The
plan is subject, of course, to change, butJ
iuc muni it. nua uccu ueciueu upon oy
the electric workers.
Canopy effects will be attempted In the
court, and on both Morrison and Yamhill
streets. On the two corners of the hotel
building will be erected a canoDV of elec
tric lights and patriotic bunting. The effect
during the evening is expected to be sur
passingly beautiful. It will show a bril
liant effect of electric lights and Na
tional colors. Over the court In front of
the hotel the same effect will be shown.
The Postofilce building is expected to be
decorated in harmony.

IN MEMORY OF W.W. BROOKS
Friends and Fellovr-Workers Speak
Words of Praise for the Dead.
Memorial services In honor of the late
W. WT. Brooks were held at the First Bap
tist Church at 3:30 o clock yesterday af
ternoon. Mr. Brooks was a deacon of the
Baptist Church, and was superintendent
of the employment department of the
Young Men's Christian Association.
The services commenced with the organ
prelude, followed by the opening prayer by
Rev. Mr. Hugerth and the Scripture read
ing by Rev. E. M. Bliss. "Nearer, My
God. to Thee," was sung by the congre
gation, and a prayer was offered by Rev.
M. M. Bledsoe. Mr. Brooks' Sunday school
class also sang a hymn.
Rev. S. C. Lapham delivered the first
address, saying that Mr. Brooks prized the
good name he bore more than marble
monuments. He spoke of their personal
friendship, stating that Mr. Brooks pos
sessed the qualities of Christian manhood
that made him a true friend, and that he
contained that in his heart that made him
beloved by all his friends.
H. W. Stone, general secretary of the
Y. M. C. A., spoke of Mr. Brooks in re
gard to the work he had accomplished dur
ing the 3f. months he was connected with
the association. He said that while Mr.
Brooks was not an employe of the asso
ciation, until recently, he had been active
ly Identified with the work, both here and
in Salem, for a long time. "I watched and
studied him for a long time." said the
speaker, "and learned that he was Just
the kind of a man we needed, he being
especially fitted for association work. He
was a man of broad sympathies, and this
made him of especial value. During the
short time that he was connected with the
association he placed 51 young men in per
manent positions and 31 in temporary ones.
Under his' direction the employment de
partment was entirely reorganized."
"When the next Issue of the Pacific Bap
tist Is sent out," said Rev. Myron Cooley,
"people in the North, South. East and
West will regret the death of Mr. Brooks.
He was a most able man. and as manag
ing editor of the Pacific Baptist was a
general favorite. His work on the paper
was excellent, and personally he was
loved by all."
Rev. Alexander Blackburn, D.D., spoke
of Mr. Brooks' position In the Baptist
Church. He said: "He will be missed In
his home. In the Y. M. C. A. and In busi
ness, but in no place more than In the
church."
The congregation sang "Jesus, Lover of
My Soul," after which tho services con
cluded with Dr. Blackburn's benediction.

nison, O., was confined to his bed for sev
eral weeks with Inflammatory rheuma
tism. "I used many remedies," he says.
"Finally I sent to McCawrs drug store for
a bottle of Chamberlain's Pain Balm, at
which time I was unable to use hand or
foot, and In one week's time was able to
go to work as happy as a clam." If trou
bled with rheumatism give Pain Balm a.
trial. One application relieves the pain.

United States Laundry Grants
Union Terms.
AFJER HOLMES HAS SOLD OUT
Control Is Sold to J. Dannells, of
East Side, Who Makes Terms With
Union Vain Effort at Peace
With Other Laundries.
Once more will the steam washtubs
swish and whirl, for the United States
Laundry opens this morning and will
hereafter be run on union principles. R.
J. Holmes, who owned a two-thirds In
terest In the plant, has sold his share to
J. Dannells, who Immediately signed the
agreement with the Shirt, Waist and
Laundry Workers Union.
Mr. Holmes made a proposal to tne
Portland Laundrymen's Association,
whereby the association should buy the
establishment. Pending the termination of
the deal the laundry shut, down, and
for five days Portland has been without
a slnqle steam laundry In operation.
The Laundrymens Association nnaiiy
refused the proposal and 4. Dannells, a
wholesale merchant of East Portland, of
ftring a higher price than Mr. Holmes had
named to the association, the deal was
made forthwith.
The nine laundries belonging to mem
bers of the association are still closed.
Tho union has shown no Indication of re
turning to work for the old hours, nor
have the managers attempted to run
with nonunion Tielp.
- An attempt has been made by the Laun
dry Workers' Union to compromise, but
was not accepted by the proprietors. The
grievance committee of the Federated
Trades Council and a committee of three
from the union met the association Satur
day and laid the compromise proposition
before it. The union representatives de
clared the readiness of the union to return
to work If the association men would
grant them nine and a half hours. The es
tablishments were closed because the em
ployes asked for nine hours a day, while
the managers maintained they, must have
ten, the present working time.
Apparently the laundry managers con
sidered this proposal a sign of weakening
on the, part of the union and therefore
rejected It. Now the members of the union
committee say the association men will
never have the chance to secure a com
promise again and that they will now
remain out until the employers are forced
t6 grant the nine hours' time for which
they ask.
The namfe of all the members of the
Laundry Workers' Union who have been
locked out have been sent to the head
quarters of the International Union of
Shirt, Waist and Laundry Workers at
Troy, N. Y., and the allowance of $3 a
week a member Is expected within a
week.
R. J. Holmes was asked as to the truth
of the reports that the members of the
Portland Laundrymen's Association had
attempted to cut off the supplies of coal
and machinery while his establishment
was running with the field to Itself.
"I have a very friendly feeling toward
the association and I do not care to dis
cuss that matter," said he.
Manager J. M. FInley, of the United
States Laundry, 1ias issued the following
statement showing the stand of the new
proprietor with the reason for opening
a train:
"The United States Laundry has signed
the union agreement and will reopen to
morrow morning with a union crew.
"The laundry workers' agreement is a
fair proposition, their only demand be
ing a nine-hour workday at the same
wage schedule adopted last year.
"As the Laundry Workers' Union Is
composed of about seven-eighths women
and the work Is hard and tedious. It Is
only right and reasonable to grant the
nine-hour workday.
"The United States Laundry will be
again run to its utmost capacity, and the
public, or rather a large portion of it.
will have an opportunity of having clean
linen once more.
"JAMES M. FINLEY."
PIONEERS OF CLACKAMAS
Suggestion That They Meet to Re
call History of Early Days.
BARTON, Or.. May IS. (To the Editor.)
I notice in several counties of the state
reports of pioneer meetings. In which the
native sons and daughters join, and, as
Clackamas County is one of the oldest
settled counties In the state, I have won
dered why we did not have such meetings
in this county.
I have talked with quite a number of
the pioneers and their descendants, and
they all seem to think that a like meeting
should be held in this county at least once
a year.
Aside from the pleasure of the annual
meeting of the old pioneers and their de
scendants, such meetings ought to be of
great value In gathering historical data,
that many times can only be obtained
from the actors of the pioneer events of
Oregon at first hand.
Why could not a meeting be held in
Oregon City without delay to affect an
organization, so that we could have a
county meeting this season, and so that
this matter might further be talked over
at the State Pioneer Association meeting,
when it occurs In June of this year, at
Portland. Or.?
The visitors at the Lewis and Clark
Fair will want to know a great deal of
Oregon and the early Oregon history, and
It will be a good Idea lor the people of
Oregon to brighten up on their early his
tory through organization of; this kind.
Will some one take the initiative In call
ing a meeting at Oregon City to discuss
the plans of this organization?
Yours truly.

From Nerv o u s n e s s
and Insomnia
Through Dr. Miles'
Nervine. I Use
Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills
For Headache.
"I have been troubled greatly wtih sleep
lessness and nervousness for twenty-five
years. I have never taken Dr. Miles' Nerv
ine steadily for a long time but it never fails
to help me when I do take ic In addition to
this I can say that my general health is much
better since my occasional use of Nervine,
than it was several years ago. I have used
Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills for neuralgia and
nervous headaches and have always
had prompt relief. The headaches usually
occur at intervals in the morning and
by taking a Pain Pill when I feel the head
aches coming on I can prevent the attack
entirely. My husband is also subject to
headaches aad finds the same relief from the
Anti-Pain Pills that I do. We are perfectly
willing that you should use our names be
cause of the relief we have found in using
Dr. Miles Jlemedi es. Mrs. W. H. Beards
LEY, Moscow, Idaho.
There is nothing that will so surely under
mine the health as sleeplessness. A slight
affection of the nerves is sufficient to bring
about this distressing condition and unless
treatment is at once begun it grows worse
rapidly, briftging about loss of appetite, in
digestion, a gradual undermining of nerve
force and vitality, until finally the victim
suffers from nervous prostration. Dr. Miles
Nervine quiets the nerves so that sleep may
come and! fortifies the nervous system against
the attacks of any or all nervous disorders.

Weak
Hearts
Are due to Indigestion. Ninety-nine of everj
one hundred people who have heart trouble
can remember when it was simple indiges
tion. It Is a scientific fact that all cases oi
heart disease, not organic, are not only
traceable to, but are the direct result of indi
gestion. All food taken Into the stomach
Which fails of perfect digestion ferments and
swells the stomach, puffing it up against the
heart. This interferes with the action of
the heart, and in. the course of time that
delicate but vital organ becomes diseased.
Mr. D. Kauble. of Nevada, O., says: I had stomach
trouble and was'ln a bad state as I had htfart troublo
with It. I took Kodol Dyspepsia Cure for about fan
months and It cured me.
Kodol Digests What You Eat
and relieves the stomach of 'all nervous
strain and the heart of all pressure.
