SECOND CHECK OF
FIVE THOUSAND
Portland Forwards Contribu
tion to Starving Jews of
Barbarous Russia.
BEN SELLING'S HARD WORK
Kept Busy All Day at His "Work as
Treasurer of the Relict Fund
Handling the Coin and
Checks That Pxmr In.
Am greatly (pleased with the 'generous ac
tivity you and your community display.
. JACOB SCHIFF.
The flood of checks, lottors and gold
which has poured upon the desk of Ben
Selling:, treasurer of the local relief com
mittee. 1b mute evidence of what the
Portland people feel for the tortured, per
secuted Jews of Russia, and the per
sistency with which the contributions
keep coming in only goes'-to show that
this sympathy is growing among cvory
class. Aside from the thouainds con
tributed by the Jewish citizens them
selves, Protestants and Catholics, negroes
and Chinese have volunteered their of
ferings td help alleviate the sufferings
of distressed humanity. Sect, nationality
and denomination have been swept anlde
In the common cause of helping fellow
beings, and the poor man puts his hand
in hip pocket just as freely as the rich
man opens his wallet, giving with hc
same spirit of pity and sympathy.
Kept Busy at His Desk.
Yesterday Treasurer Selling did not
have time to leave his defk to solicit
outside, for the contributions which gen
c mas-hearted citizens brought in person,
sent by messenger or mail, kept him
busy all day long. "Every dollar of that
mrins succor to some unfortunate," he
said at dosing time last night; "and I feel
sure, if the doners of these offerings
could half realize what it will mean to
the starving, freezing victims of the mob,
they would feel that it was well In
vested "
Second Check for Five Thousand.
The second check for ?3000 was sent to
the National committee in New York yes
terday afternoon, making so far 510,000
to go from Portland to swell the million-dollar
fund which America expects
to raise. The telegram from Jacob Schiff
was received in reply to the notllication
of the second contribution which Adolph
Wolfe and Ben Selling wired early In
the day. But this was not the end, for
from the present rate at which money
Is coming inr the Rose City will have
sent at least 515,000 if not 518.000. The
committee feels that the attitude the
press has taken in the matter has not
only served to swell the contributions
but will eventually have a wonderful ef
fect upon the affairs In Russia.
"The Jewish citizens of Portland ap
preciate the attitude of The Orogonlan
In this matter more than we shall ever
be able to express," said one of the com
mittee, "Jt and other papers like it
are having a tremendous .influence on
this question, and it Is my belief that
he American press will eventually cause
he present government of Russia to
fall tp pieces."
JjCttcrs of Sympathy.
The tone of the letters which many citi
zens send with their contributions is par
ticularly pleasing to the committee, and
they take great pleasure in the expres
sions of sympathy which they contain.
One of the most characteristic came from
William Clarke, editor of the Gcrvals
Weekly Star, who wrote: "I want to help,
loo." and Inclosed his check for 510. A
liberal contributor of the day was Jona
than Bourne, who wrote:
"Dear Mr. Selling: With slncerest sym
pathy for your persecuted coreligionists in
Russia, and admiration for your efforts
to alleviate their sufferings, I herewith In
close my check for 5100. Very sincerely
ours. J. BOURNE, JR."
Dan J. Malarkey was another citizen
who made the Jews feel that their friends
were many and sincere. He wrote:
"Dear Sir: Herewith find my contribu
tion to the fund for the relief of the Jews
or Russia. I cannot find words to express
my horror and Indignation at the treat
ment of the Russian Jews. If conditions
are as depicted in our newspapers. Inter
vention by other governments in the name
of decency and humanity is certainly due.
Every one, regardless of creed or race,
should contribute according to his means
to this fund you are collecting. Yours
very truly, DAN J. MALARKBY.
Sends Liberal Check.
Jacob Mayer, of the firm of Flelschner.
Mayer & Co., sent in his check for 5150.
Dr. Edgar P. Hill wrote that the treasurer
o the congregation would forward a
check for the Sunday-evening contrlbu- !
tion. and regretted that it was not larger.
He wrote, in conclusion: "All I could do
was to devote to this splendid cause the
offering of our evening meeting, which is
made up almost altogether of those who
live In boarding-houses near here. Though
the sum is small, It goes to you with our
heartiest regards for you and the people
of your church, and our deepest sympathy
for your suffering brethren across the
sea."
Chinese Among the Xumber.
One of yesterday's contributors was a
Chinese, and the dollar he gave Is partic
ularly appreciated by the committee.
Afraid that- he did not understand the ob
ject of the fund being raised, there was
some hesitancy about accepting It, but
Jung San knew all about it, and said he
wanted to help like every one else. Mr.
Selling has several hundred dollars in
small amounts which he has mot been able
to list yet, as it came in so rapidly that
it was Impossible to keep accurate count.
The little black memorandum book in
which the names arc being listed is grad
ually filling up, however, and citizens are
beginning to feel glad that their names
are written there. Two more days like
yesterday and the 51500 mark will easily
be reached.

COMMISSION TO VISIT RUSSIA
Will Ilcport Facls of Jlassacrc Jew
ish Colony Proposed.
LONDON, Nov. 14. A conference attend
ed by prominent Jews of London. Paris.
Berlin and SL Petersburg, which was hcW
here today, under the presidency of Lord
Rothschild, resolved to send an Influential
traveling commission to Russia to visit all
places where Jews were reported to have
suffered during the disturbances. This
commission will report to the central bu- '
roau established at Berlin, where all the
statistics will be collected. The moneys
needed will be forwarde to a banking
house of the Messrs. Rothschild.
The Archbishop of Canterbury and the
Bishop of South wark have written to Chief
Rabtil Adler expressing their horror at
the outbreak on the Jews in Russia aad
offering thelrsyinpathy.
At a mass meeting of Jews of Whlte
chapel. held tonight. Sir Robert Thrcshle
Reid. ex-Attorney-General, who presided,
expressed the sympathy of all Christians
with the persecuted Jews In Russia, and
said:
"If 1 had one drop of Jewish blood in
m veins, I would not rest until I had
founded a city of refugo in which the men
and women of your race could find sReltur
from destruction."
Israel Zangwlll. who made an impas
sioned speech, introduced a resolution,
which was passed unanimously, express
ing indignation and horror at the out
rages. The resolution declared that the
establishment of an autonomous Jewish
colony for the gradual reception of op
pressed Jews was the only solution of tho
Russo-Jewish question.
A letter was read from Joseph Chamber
lain, approving the scheme of the estab
lishment of a Jewish colony under the
British flag. He expressed the greatest
sympathy with the Jewish cause, and re
gretted that the late Dr. Hcrel's scheme
for a Jewish ,colony in South Sirica had
been abandoned. He said the terrible
ovents In Eastern Europe intensified the
necessity to solve the Jewish problem, and
added to the responsibility of the Chris
tian nations with regard to this problem.
He said he would, therefore, be glad to
advance in any possible way any revival
of the scheme of Dr. Herzl or a practical
amendment thereof.
MISERY AROUND KISHIXEFF
Pitiful Appeal for Aid for Many
Ruined Jews.
NEW YORK. Nov. 14. A cablogram
from Kishlneff, describing the misery
in that section of Russia, was received
today by the State Bank here. It roads:
"Colossal distress. Outside of Kish
inet hundreds of village Jews arc
ruined. In the town of Kalarasch, with
large commercial interests near Kish
lneff .300 houses were burned, 600 fam
ilies reduced to poverty and 31.000,000
rubles lost. Help absolutely neces
sary." The telegram was sent by Parlmutter
& Klugmann, Kishlneff bankors, and
was a roply to an Inquiry about con
ditions in Russia, sent by Arnold Kahn,
vice-president of the State Bank.
HELP. JEWS IX OWX DEFENSE
Association Asks 3Ioney to Buy Arms
for Russia's Oppressed.
NEW YORK, Nov. 14. The Jewish De
fense Association today issued a call to
Jewish people to help their countrymen !
It declared that many massacres had been
prevented by a strong organization of
young Jews known as the Self-Defense
Organization. At Odessa the organiza
tion could not cope with the overwhelm
ing numbers of longshoremen and "black
gangs." In Poland, where martial law
has been proclaimed, the Self-Defense
Organization has mapped out the cities
into districts, each with a leader. They
need more funds in order to purchase
more firearms.
The call declares that funds for this
purpose will be promptly forwarded
through secret channels.
America Haven of Persecuted.
NEW YORK. Nov. 14. Jacob H.
Schiff. at the annual meeting of the
Educational Alliance last night, re
ferred to the conditions" in .Russia, and
also spoke of the Jewish race. He said:
"The tutmoil in Russia must have
some serious consequences to the
United States. It will mean an im
mense Immigration, and this country
must keep Its doors wide open to al
low those who flee from that country
to enter. The Jew has a large and
generous heart for those afflicted, and
will aid greatly hospitals and like in
stitutions. "But when it comes for a
Jew to contribute for the head, for ed
ucation, nothing good can be said.
"There are many races of the Jews,
five or six at least. The races cross
in this country, and they will unite In
making the greatest Jew that ever ex
isted, the American Jew. If we want
this, we must do our duty to that race,
and In the end' the world will get the
benefit."
Omaha Sends Money East.
OMAHA, Nov. 14. Over 51.000.000 has

said that this is the first instance where
"Western banks have been material fac
tors in supplying the East with money.

Hurlburt Tells tho Committee He
Has Xo Power, hut Fuller
Agrees to 3Iakc Many
Improvements.
Whatever else the grievance committee
of the East Side Improvement Association
might have learned during ita visits to
the general managers of the Oregon
Water Power & Railway and the Port
land Railway Companies yesterday after
noon. It did take more firmly to Its col
lective hoart ihe truth of the old adage
that "A soft answer turneth away
wrath." It is also more firmly convinced
than ever that honesty Is the post ollcy'
and that a straightforward deal and fair
treatment go a long way toward making
the pain easier to boar.
Committee Makes Calls.
Yesterday afternoon. Just at 2 o'clock, a
committee from the East Side Associa
tion composed of Dr. A. W. Moore. D. iL
Donaugh. Dan Keillhcr. A. G. Rushlight.
F. S. Bennett and W. L. Thorndyke. or
St. Johns, met In the office of Dr. Moore,
in the Dekum building, and prepared,
metaphorically speaking, to beard the
Hons in their dens. W. II. Hurlburt.
general manager of tho Oregon Water
Power Company, was the first one
chosen for the inquisition and the com
mittee advanced upon his office on
mastfe. desiring to know many things,
chief among them being why it whs
that working girls ware eompolled to
hang upon the few simps generously
donated by the company during tho
long ride to Mount Scott. Sullwood and
the othor suburbs fcer.ej by the com
pany, or falling the straps to stand
packed in so tightly w'lh work-soiled
men that It would "bo impossible for
them to fall no matter hew groat the
lurches made by the fitst-runring cars.
There wero other questions upon the
lips of the commltJe 5uch as: "If a
man hangs on the ses-s cf a car or the
drawhoads by his toes and his fingers
twice a day for an indefinite lime, how
long will it be before th trvloc is ira
provod." Xo Power, Says Hurlburt.
To all of theso questions Mr. Hurlburt
answered "No power," but held out the
hope that Inasmuch as the company
wished to run an up-to-date railroad,
the time would come, presumably in
May next, "when the Cazadoro power
station "was working, whdj the service
would be made better and part of the
people could secure scats part of the way
part of the time and some of tiem all
of the way all of the time.
Mr. Hurlburt also said that the pa
rons of the road "were cranky and all
-wanted to be served Individually Irre
spective of the convenience olo;t'atlon
on the part of the company, and that
they each wished t6 bo picked- up wher
ever they came to a street crosf ng and
put' down whenever thoy could catch
the eye of the conductor. II-s hau been
consldorlng tho questions of bettor
set vice on all linos of the company, ho
said, and would do what lie could. Then
the committee left for the oilico of F.
I. Fuller, of the Portland Railway Com
pany, to talk over tho Eaut Sldo srv
Ico propor with the othsr line.
Fuller Promises Relief.
Mr. Fuller talked frankly and took
the committee into his confidence. Ho
got out his charts of car work done and
showed -Just how much each oar car
ried at the different hours of the day,
and what had been done and what
would be done to remedy existing evils
as fast as the equipment would enable
changes to be made. He also admitted
that the service was unsatisfactory and
Inadequate during certain hours of the
day and said he would sec what could
be done by the company to do away
with cause of complaint, both on the
SL Johns line and on other East Side
linos. He explained that changes had
been made after the close of the Ex
position, and that the unexpected In
crease of business had shown that the
plans of tho company would have to beJ
changed to meet the new conditions.
Those plans would be put Into effect
as Aoon as the company could get the
cars out again which wore now In
repair after the hard service of the
Summer, or could provide new equip
ment to be put on lines where it was
needed. The committee there learned
the lesson of the fair deal and the soft
answer and left comforted with the as
surance of hope ahoad.
Dr. Moore Opens Conference.
When the committee, on Its first visit,
roached the office of Mr. Hurlburt, Dr.
Moore opened the conference by stating
the object of the call. He said that the
Mount Scott and Sell wood service was
notably bad, while other lines were not
much better, and asked what could be
done. Mr. Hurlburt said he would be will
ing to answer. If he could, any questions
that might be put to him.
JDr. Moore then went ovor the situation
on the Mount Scott line. He showed that
the cars were filled full before they left
First and Alder streets, while the streets
were blocked with Impatient passengers
on the East Side waiting for cars to their
suburban homes. The girls of the East
Side, who worked during the day In the
laundries and factories of that district,
were unable to find room on the cars, or
if they did were obliged to stand, without
oven having straps to hang to, until the
cars reached their destinations, or came
noar to it- He pointed out that as high
110 people were packed into cars with a
sating capacity of half tho number, until
It was almost Impossible cither to get on
or off.
Xot Until Xcst May.
"I don't know what to say in answer."
said Mr. Hurlburt. "I have had the mat
ter under consideration for weeks. It Is
the duty of the company to do what It
can for the comfort and convenience of
the patrons. You understand the condi
tions under which tho company took the
line. At that time it was a failure with
a 10-ecnt fare At that time we were to
run 12 round trips a day, but we have not
been governed by those conditions, but
have done the best wc could for the ac
commodation of the people.
"Wc are now up against a hard game,"
continued Mr. Hurlburt. "We are ham
pered by the lack of power, and cannot do
any better than at present until the latter
part of May. when the Cazadcro power
plant Is' running. We are doing as well as
wc can with the power at command, and
cannot Increase the service or haul trail
ers on account of the power and the heavy
grades over that line." -
"If you haul five and six loaded freight
I ears up the Hawthorne-avenue hllU why
can't you haul a trailer loaded with pas
sengers?" queried Dr. Moore.
Mr. Hurlburt explained: . "Wc haul
freight during tho morning and the middle
of the day," he said. "The trouble Is be
tween the hours of 5 and 7. That is when
the business is done. There Is not a city
In the United States where you will, not
see people hanging to the straps during
those hours. There Is not a city where
you will find as good service as In Port
land. We have done the best wc can. Wc
have put on trippers, but cannot do so
well as wo would like on account of the
single track. We have to divide about
one-half of the business with the Portland
Railway Company on account of trans
fers, and cannot go to much expense on
new tracks and new equipment on such a
long haul for so small a fare."
Will Xot Use Trailers.
Mr. Hurlburt said the same conditions
prevailed on the Scllwood line.
"Why can't trailers be used on the Scll
wood llneT' asked Mr. Rushlight.
"The company does not want to shoul
der the responsibility of crossing the
Southern Pacific tracks on the East Side
with two-motor cars, hauling trailers,"
said Mr. HurlburL "The crossings on the
East Side are dangerous, and the com
pany went down the bank of the river to
o&apc them. The time Is coming when
crossings will be made through viaducts
to avoid the danger. Wo cannot draw the
heavy trailers with two-motor cars."
Mr. Rushlight thought no saw a point
left unguarded. "It seems to me." he
said, "that the cars, which draw such
hoaw loads of human freight In trailers
to the Oaks could draw tho Sellwood trail
ers." Mr. Hurlburt said that these cars
could not haul the trailers up the hills on
the Scllwood line.
"Thon. according to your statcmont.
you have no nowcr to Increase the
service." said Mr. Rushlight, and Mr.
Hurlburt answered In disheartening
wlsc. "No, wc have not."
Xumber of Extra Cars.
The discussion at this point changed
from power to "packing" and the com
mittee went over the crowding ques
tion. It was shown that the human snr
dinos, s'owed away for long, tiresome
rldos, became cross and insolent. Jeal
ous of tho standing room allotted
thorn, and It was contended that If a
few extra cars could be put on during
the rush hours it would greatly help
conditions.
"How many extra cara do you think
It would take?" asked Mr. HurlDUrt.
and tho committee not being able to
tell, the general manager proceeded to
show It,
"Tho cars would have to be brought
from Mllwaukie and that would take
an hour," he said. '"Thon It would take
another hour to run to Lon.s. The cars
would then have to lie run back to, the
barns at Mllwaukie. Much of this time
would be lost, for the curs would run
empty. The men running them would
have to be paid.'
Suys Losing; Venture.
Mr. Hurlburt showed to hla satisfac
tion. If not to that of the committee.
hat such a course, would urove u los
ing venture for tnc company. He tnen
went Into kicks In general' and told of
a few samples that came under his at
tention. One man complained because
the through cars from Mount Scott did
not stop for him in front of his house.
whilo another was angry because the
car on the Mount Tabor line stopped in
front of the Burroll residence on top
of the hill and not a block nearer the
city on the hillside.
"What relief are we to expect?"
askod Dr. Moore, after Mr. Hurlburt
had stopped talking.
"We are Just as anxious to give re
llof as you arc to have It." answered
Mr. Hurlburt without ambiguity.
"When we get the power we can como
close to a seven-minute service. We
have .shortened the schedule from time
to time without requests from the poo
plo because wc thought that was the
way to run a railroad."
"Wc had hoped for relief during the
morning and the evening In the very
noar future," suggested Dr. Moore.
"We have rellovod you to some ex
tent," said Mr. Hurlburt. parrying.
"But the lines are very severely oon
gostod yet," It was reminded.
All Leave al Same Time.
"The trouble is that all the people
start to leave town at once." explained
Mr. Hurlburt. 'To relieve the conges
tion during the busy hours would re
quire from six to eight trippers on
the Mount Scott line alone. These cars
would make a single trip. That would
mean two hours and 45 minutes of serv
ice for each car. It would take two-men
at 26 cents an hour to handle each car.
to say nothing of the wear and tear ot
traffic or the doterloration of stock. You
can figure the cost up for yourselves."
Mr. Kelluhor came onto the firing line.
"How would It do," he asked, 'no put
on a short service between here and
Mount Tabor and make a through -service
to Mount Scott?"
"I don't know how that would do. I
have it jmder consideration," said Mr.
Hurlburt.
The only thing I can say," con
cluded the general manager, as the
committee rose to leave, "Is that I will
look into the situation carefully, and
If there Is any relief I can give I will
do it- But when it comes to the ques
tion of a seat for every person, that is
another question."
Anxious to Please.
When the committee had seated Itself
in a cosy semi-circle In front of Gen
eral Manager Fuller, of the Portland
Ralway Company. Mr. Thomdyke, qf
St. Johns, made the opening speech. He
said about the same thing that Dr.
Moore had told Mr. Hurlburt, only St.
Johns, and not Mount Scott, was tho
contention. The speaker praised the
service during the Exposition, but said
that he and his constituents did not
like the thought of having to go back
to a half-hour service now that the Ex
position was over.
Mr. Fuller stated that while there
were less cars running now between
the hours of 9 In the morning and 1 In
the afternoon than during the Fair,
there were more on the line In the
evening hours than during that time.
Mr. Thomdyke stated that on Sunday
last one car brought 100 persons from
St. Johns to the city, while for the past
two weeks the congestion had been se
vere. Mr. Fuller admitted that 100 or more
persons to the car was an abnormal
load and something that the company
did not want.
Travel Increases Unexpectedly.
"Of course." said Mr. Fuller, "I
want you gentlemen to understand that
thore -would not have been any change
In the schedule had we thought It
would make any great difference. We
have' been waiting to watch the change
in conditions since the close of the
Fair In order to reorganize the service
to suit the new requirements."
Mr. Fuller went on to state that
since the close of the Fair the great
Increase In business had surprised him
and overthrown the plans of the com
pauy for handling the regular patrons
of the road. He admitted that the serv
ice durlne- the rush hours was not ade
quate, and said it was the desire of the
company to do all that was possible to
remedy the defects. He said thai
readjustment of the Washington, the
Morrison, the Wraverly, Woodlawn and
Woodstock lines had been mado as well
as that of St- Johns. He stated that the
company was planning to make a five
or six-minute service to Woodlawn by
running a car to Highland and running
through cars to Woodlawn. He also
said that the company was trying te
handle (hc business without running
the open trailers, but that If It became
necessary he would put them oa the

Fund for Miss LoubcC
".Find inclosed $1 to add to the fund
for Miss Loubot, the unfortunate French
girl injured for Hie in the lire at the
State House Inn. I do not give it as
charity, but rather as something each
owes the other In this world." This was
the statcmont of one of the many notes
with Inclosures received at The Ore
gonian office yesterday. Too many peo
ple who arc healthy and strong cannot
notice this opportunity to aid the suffer
ing. The cry for aid has gone out from this
office and many are the sympathetic souls
who have answered the call. Even the
little ones In the lower grades of the
grammar schools have given their pen
nies and dimes to this worthy cause and
others can do no better than to follow
the lead already made. It is a worthy
cause, a terrible affliction, it can be rem
edied, but a fund must do the latter. Sub
scriptions, to which The Oregonion is al
ways open, will give thnt aid. The
amounts received yesterday were:

CIIAIKMAN BAKER SAYS XONE IS

lie Nulls us Iile.
PORTLAND. Nov. H. (To the Editor.)
The Astorian of November 11 says that I
have arranged to raise a big campaign
fund for the coming year "not less than
J20.0CO"; that I have "written to prominent
Republicans, telling them of the great
need for funds." and that "It Is under
stood that Chuirman Baker addressed ono
R. Alexander, of Pendleton, a letter. In
which the situation Is described as im
peratively demanding liberal contribu
tions, and that If Mr. Alexander would
send him half a thousand dollars, the
cause of good government would be ad
vanced." And equally authentic (sic) Is
the statement that Mr. Alexander did not
buy a draft for 3500 and mall It to Mr.
Baker.
N The truth Is that no such campaign fund
Is being raised at all. After the Repub
lican reunion of October 12. many Repub
licans desired to have the proceedings of
the gathering printed. To do this would
have required considerable money, and at
least J1200 for post4ge. A number of Re
publicans outside Portland, among them
Mr. Alexander, I asked to contribute to a
fund for that purpose. He and others
readily assented, but we afterward gave

proved, again and again, In the most

to supply the first bottle free In every

Jl.OOO.OtJO have been spent to announce
and fulfill this offer.
The result is that 11,000,000 bottles
have been used, mostly in the past two
years. Today there are countless cured
ones, scattered everywhere, to tell what
Liquozone has done.
But so many others need it that this
offer is published still. In the last few
years, science has traced scores of dis
eases to germ attacks. Old remedies do
not apply to them. We wish to show
those sick ones at our cost what
Liquozone can do.
