JEWISH FEAST HERE

Nation and Bitter Slavery En
dured by Forefathers In
Egypt Before Deliverance.
SCHOOLS PLAN EXHIBIT
A trail of organized theft leading
into several of the largest retail estab
lishments of the city and involving
both persons employed in them and
people who worked with them on the
outside was opened up by the invest!
rations of Deputy District Attorney
Robison yesterday, following the ar
rests of the preceding night of women
alleged to have stolen goods from Lip
man, Wolfe & Co.'s department store.
All day women were brought into the
District Attorney's office and in nearly
every case they made lengthy answers
when questioned by Mr. Robison, which
brougnt to light more and more clearly
the extensive scope of the operations
of the thieves.
The goods which were recovered yes
terday and were identified by represen
tatives from different firms came from
Lipman, Wolfe & Company, The Meier
& Frank Company, Olds, Wortman &
King, F. Friedlander's jewelry store
and Fleischner. Mayer & Co. It is
thought that further evidence will show
other stores to have been included
the operations.
Ilecoverteit Worth $5000.
The goods yesterday recovered repre
sent a value of between $5000 and
$6000, mostly in the form of suits,
cloaks, fine laces and silverware.
In one stack 4n the District Attorney's
office were piled $1573 worth of goods
from Lipman, Wolfe & Company's store,
which had been taken from the apart
ments of one of the women arrested.
The total amount of goods taken from
the different stores cannot yet be esti
mated, as the investigations ef the
District Attorney's office are continu
ally unearthing clews to new "fences"
where the goods have been stored.
Arrests up to last night included, be
sides the women taken on the previous
night, IIrs. Klla Crear, a clerk of
Friedlander's, and her daughter, Sylvia.
Mrs. Fannie Larson, of the Meier Ac
Frank Company store, was brought in
as a witness and a Mrs. Quinn, from
Olds, Wortman & King's store, was held
as a material witness in the case.
Statements were taken from about 15
women who were able to give impor
tant evidence and. Deputy District At
torney Robison says that he expects
more arrests to be ma3e today.
Co-operation Is Indicated.
, Statements made by some of the
women brought in yesterday indicated
co-operation between women in differ
ent stores in the exchange of goods and
in the disposal of goods smuggled! from
the store by outside workers. Among 1
the goods recovered was a. quantity of1.
hand-pain ted china from ono store,
which, it was saUl by one of the women
examined, was exchanged at another
store, through the connivance of em
ployes, for laces and clothing.
The goods recovered from the jewelry
store were for the most part solid, sil
verware, including spoons, knives and
forks and other small articles. It is
thought that a large amount of valu
ble stones were taken. Mr. Frieilander
said to Mr. Robison yesterday that he
has been obliged, to charge 01T between
$20,000 and $30,000 worth of diamonds
and. other gems that have disappeared
from the store. The loss of the sil
ver he regarded as a trifle compared to
the gem thefts.
The inventory, of the goods recov
ered was not completed yesterday and
It is probable that with further arrests
today a new supply of goods will be
discovered.

which, even today, have not lost their
poignant application.
Message Carries Hose.
Two other symbols of the table dec
orations should be noted: namely, the
four cups of wine allowed to each one
are symbolical of the fourfold phrase
in which God couched the first "Dec
laration of Independence." and the cup
of wine meant for the prophet Elijah
who, always present In spirit, brought
ever anew the message of undying
hope of the Messianic reign of uni
versal Justice, freedom and peace.
The Feast of the Passover has not
lost Its thrilling significance to the
modern Jew. To those still pining in
slavery in Russia and Routnunla, It
Rings the song of ultimate redemption,
while to those living under the blessed
flag of freedom it teaches the undying
lesson of gratitude, together with an
appreciation of the higher civic duties
and responsibilities of civic and re
liglous liberty.
The Feast of Passover begins Friday
evening, April 10. 1914, and lasts one
week.
GREATLY BENEFITED BY CHAM
BERLAIN'S COUGH REMEDY
Professor Ewer to Iecture.
Everyday ethical problems are dis
cussed by Professor Bernard E. Ewer
in Reed Extension Course XIV. "In
dividualism and Socialism" is the sub
ject of the lecture to be given at the
Main Library tonight at 8 o'clock. The
lecture is open to the public.
Passover services will be held in all
synagogues in Portland. The services
at Beth Isreal will be held Friday at
S P. M. and Saturday morning at 10
o'clock. Rabbi Wise will preach Sat
urday morning. The music will be un
der the direction of Mrs. Rose Bloch
Bauer, who will render a solo at the
morning service. All men and women
are respectfully invited.
Within a few days. Pesach, the an
nual Feast of Passover, or of Unleav
ened Bread, will- be celebrated In Jew
ish homes and synagogues. This, the
olddest feast of the Jewish Calendar,
carries us back well nigh 3300 years.
The awakening of Spring has its normal
appeal and its practical symbolism to
every primitive people. The agricul
tural aspect of this holiday is seen in
the phrase: "That it is to be kept in
the season of the month of ripenings.
when the barley sown in Winter has
become ripe and when an offering con
sistlng of an omer one-half gallon
of barley was brought in gratitude to
the giver of all good.
Agricultural Feature Leas.
The historical significance of the
festival has over-shadowed its agri
cultural aspect. As the Feast of Free
dom It commemorates the emancipation
of Israel from Egyptian bondage and
the people's entrance Into the dignity
and destiny of national life. It thus
marks the birth of the Hebrew people.
The main characteristic of its cele
bration has always been domestic: in
the homes the families and the invited
fi lends gather on the first evening to
recount in song and story and amid ap
propriate symbolism the deliverance of
Isreal.
The main symbols of this Seder Serv
ice are the roasted lamb bone remind
ing them of the lamb that was slaugh
tered as a sacrific of the Covenant: sec
ond, the Matzah or Unleavened Bread
to be eaten during the whole week,
recalling not only the hasty prepara
tion with which the Israelites hurried
out of Egypt, but also their absolute
reliance upon God and readlne&s to
trust in his leadership of them; and the
Bitter Herbs, suggesting vividly the
bitter life of their forefathers in Egypt

which is an important feature of Y. M.
C. A activities in many states, has
not yet been introduced Into any part
of Oregon.
Mr. Rhodes recently returned from
trip through California, where the
county work Is progressing rapidly. He
says this work consists of the organi
zation of the Y. M. .G A. in rural com
munities, each association drawing Its 1 Library Books
and taking part in the physical, social
and religious activities of the com
munity.
"County work for the Northwest was
considered informally at the recent Y.
M. C. A- convention in Vancouver,
Wash.," said Mr. Rhodes yesterday.
'Our state committee will go more

It is practical to Introduce the move

the employment by the state commit
tee of a man to devote most of his time
to this phase of the work, and it may

"Within the last year five buildings,

IMPROVEMENTS TO BE BIG
Street and Sidewalk Work to
f Thousands of Dollars.
Cot
Proceedings for street and sidewalk
Improvements to cost many thousands
of dollars were starteo yesterday by
the City Commission. Republicans
THOUGH. 36 persons, exclusive of
aspirants for precinct committee
men, have so far filed declara
tions of candidacy for county offices,
only 14 of them have turned in their
completed nominating petitions. Un
der the law they have until April 15,
next Wednesday, to file these petitions
with the county clerk.
Those whose petitions are completed
to date are John B. Schaefer. Republi
can, for County Commissioner; Rufus
Holman, Republican, for County Com
missioner; H. L. Wallace, Democrat for
Sheriff; John M. Lewis, Republican, for
County Treasurer; Tom M. Word, Dem
ocrat, for Sheriff; W. S. Conser, Re
publican, for County Commissioner; C
W. Hohlt, Republican, for County Com
missioner: Mtss Lida M. O'Bryon, Re

trict; Mrs. Nellie C. Hughes, Democrat,
for Coroner; O. M. Orton, Republican,
for County Commissioner; Benjamin
Brick, Democrat, for County Commis
sioner; Dr. H. M. Patton, Republican,
for Coroner.
Three candidates for precinct com
mitteeman have filed their completed
petitions. They are John W. Cochran,
Precinct 43 and W. R. Lake, Precinct
124, both Republican, and A. W. Caw
thorn, Precinct 207, Democrat.
IX S. Johnson, Republican candidate
for Justice of the Peace, Multnomah
district, has filed also.
Just two more days today and Fri
day remain in which candidates for
state offices may file their completed
nominating petitions with the Secre
tary of State at Salem. If a candidate
does not get his completed petition in
the Secretary's office by April 10, his
name will not go on the ballot at the
primary election.
A very small proportion of the can
didates who had filed declarations of
candidacy have turned' in their nomi
nating petitions. As there are many
little technicalities to be observed in
making out the petitions, any one of
which, if overlooked, may be sufficient
to invalidate the petition, there are
likely to be some disappointed candi
dates on April 11.
For instance, the person circulating
the petition must be a registered voter
himself, and a signer of the candidate's
petition other than in his capacity as
its circulator. Failure to comply with
this requirement has caused some of
the completed petitions already in to
be sent back for correction. Then the
circulator must also sign each sheet
of the petition in two places, and each
sheet must be attested by a notary, who
must himself be a signer of the can
didate's petition other than in his ca
pacity as notary.
Before the petitions are filed, the
circulator should make certain that
none of the signers has ditto marks
preceding lines to indicate his postof
fice address and precinct. Where this
has been done, the address and precinct
number must be written in, or the
name of the signer will be thrown out.
Candidates whose petitions must be
filed tomorrow include aspirants for
National committeeman. United States
Senator, Representatives in Congress.
Governor, State Treasurer, Justices of
the Supreme Court, Attorney-General.
