Advisory Board is that bible reading in
public schools is "an infringement on
the rights of every citizen," insofar as
it compels Jewish" taxpayers to send
their children to school where a re
ligious interpretation is put on the bible.
For the first time in the history of
American Jewry it ' was proposed to
unite the reformed and orthodox con
gregations, between whom there has
existed a wide breach, especially in
ceremonial forms of worship.
The announcement came in the re
port of the commission on pensions
for rabbis in which there was the an
nouncement of the $100,000 gift by
Jacob Schiff, of New York. The com
mission's report says it' woMld be un
just to create two funds for rabbis.
and says that a single fund will be
"the greatest thing undertaken by the
Union inasmuch as it will unite the
Jews of this country religiously as
nothing yet undertaken by it seems
likely to do." "

SALEM, Or.. Jan. 16. (Special.)
'With assurances from Colonel C. E. S.
"Wood and Judge Lionel R. Webster,
attorneys for the Northwestern Town
site Company, which has been attempt
ing to develop the Paisley project in
Southern Oregon, that every person
who has invested in stock in the proj
ect would be properly taken care of
and no settler be defrauded, an agree
ment was reached today between the
Desert Land Board and the attorneys
to perfect an appeal from the, decision
of Judge Bernard Daly giving to the
Chewaucan Cattle Company practically
all of the waters of Chewaucan River.
The Paisley project involves about
12,000 acres of . land in Lake County.
Originally an effort was made to de
velop it by the Portland Irrigation
Company, the inception of the plan be
lng in the mind of C. H. Ball. That
company was unable to complete the
project, and it was taken over by the
Northwestern Townsite Company, of
Philadelphia. A bond of $50,000 was
put up guaranteeing completion of the
project.
Heavy Cost Attached.
Adjudication of water rights of the
Chewaucan River, from which the com
pany hoped to get water for the proj
ect, came before the water board, was
nettled, but appealed to the Circuit
Court, with the findings in favor of
the Chewaucan Cattle Company. At
torneys for the townsite company de
clare that the court below refused to
allow the proceedings to go 'back to
the water board, but kept the case in
lower court for a month and piled up
such a record that to extend it would
cost $2000, and that the probable cost
of appeal would go beyond $5000. The
townsite company instructed its attor
neys not to appeal, which virtually
meant aDandonlng the project. ' ..
Members of the Desert Land Board
Insisted today that it would not re
lease the bond until the settlers were
cared for. Many had purchased stock
in the company with the understanding
that when the land was developed .the
stock could be exchanged for land.
Company In Dilemma.
Assurances were given by the at
torneys that the settlers would be pro
vided for and asked that the North
western Townsite Company, whic Col
onel Wood designated as "an empty
husk, be relieved from the bond only
insofar as it applied to the completion
of the project. He declared the com
pany is ready to turn the project over
to Mr. Bali for completion 'as the com
pany can go no further. He says the
bond is worthless as the court has de
creed the company is entitled to no
water and that under the decision it
is an impossibility for the company to
complete the project.
The agreement reached was to the
effect that the Northwestern Townsite
Company is to be relieved of the neces
sity of completing the project, provided
that an appeal be prosecuted, the board
to recommend that the Legislature ap
propriate $2500 to assist in perfecting
such an appeal; that no more lands or
stock be sold until the land is re
claimed and ready for actual settle
ment, and that the board ask the Qov-
ernment for an extension of time un
der the Carey act. In event the lower
court is reversed on appeal Mr. Ball
will attempt to complete the project.

BAKER. Or., Jan. 17. (Spepial.)
Several thousand dollars has been
kept fjom the city of Baker by the
County Court not paying what was due
the road district in the city limits,
City Attorney McColloch declared at
the regular meeting cf the City Com
missioners today.
Mr. McColloch referred to a proposed
amendment introduced in the Legisla
ture to repeal the section that re
quires the County Court to spend 70
per cent of the road taxes collected
in a district upon roads in that dis
trict. It is through fear that the repeal
of this measure will relieve the
County Courts from all legal restric
tions in the levying and expending of
road taxes that the mattex was
brought to the attention of the Com
missioners. Mr. McColloch said that thus far the
Baker County Court has evaded this
law as It stands by levin g only a
$1000 tax and by then paying for road
improvements out of the general funds.
The amount actually spent for roads
is said to be more than $60,000 an
nually. The Commissioners declared them
selves as opposed to the measure to
eliminate the 70 per cent clause.
STATE CAPITOL, Salem. Or.. Jan. 18.
(Special.) The proposed anti-picket-ing,
anti-banner and anti-boycott meas
ure asked by the Employers" Associa
tion and Portland business interests,
with an emergency clause attached, hit
a. snag in the Multnomah delegation to
day.
For a time it looked as if all further
consideration of the measure would be
indefinitely postponed, which would be j
equivalent to killing it off, so far as
the delegation is concerned.
Senator Orton even made a motion to
that effect, but Senator Moser inter
posed the suggestion that District At
torney Evans, Sheriff Hurlburt, tChief
of Police Clark, Mayor Albee and Mu
nicipal Judge Lanerguth be invited to
appear before the delegation at 8 o'clock
Friday night and explain why the pres
ent law providing penalties for intimi
dation or force to prevent a person
from continuing or accepting employ
ment cannot be enforced.'
YrcaDt Law Thought Ample
"If these officials have any amend
ments to propose, I for one will gladly
consider them," said Moser; "but as
matters stand I don't see why the
present law, if it is enforced, is not
sufficient."
Senators Olson and Huston, among
others, held the same view of it. The
suggestion was adopted without dissent.
There the matter stands. If the in
vitation is not accepted, the anti-
picketing measure appears, i the face
of the returns, to be in for a long
sleep.
The action of the delegation was
taken at & noon meeting adjourned
from the meeting yesterday, at which
the anti-picketing measure was . first
presented by Representative Kubli.
Most of the delegation wanted a day
to think it over. Hence the adjourn
ment until today.
As presented today, the measure con
tained an additional section defining
picketing. It was thus defined:
"For the purpose of this act the word
picketing' shall mean where two or
more persons congregate, loiter or pa
rade back and forth in front of or in
the vicinity of the home of any person,
or in front of or in the vicinity of any
store, factory or place of business or
employment, for any of the purposes
hereinbefore specified."
Mr. Kobli 'Opposes Quibbling.
Kubli again urged that the delega
tion make known its sentiments rela
tive to the measure. He insisted on a
stand on one side or the other.
"There's no use in quibbling," he de
clared. "It's up to us either to say we are
for this bill to protect the business in
terests of Portland or against it."
He explained that he was not urging
the measure with any idea of injuring
labor. "But there is ho such thing as
peaceful picketing," he asserted. "The
men who are building up the ship in
dustry in Portland ought to have pro
tection, and this measure should carry
with an emergency clause, because an
emergency exists."
Laurgaard said there were strong ar
guments on both sides, and that he did
not propose to commit himself until he
had heard both sides.
After considerable desultory talk one
way and the other, Huston remarked
that he favored anything to ameliorate
the working conditions of labor, yet
felt strongly against permitting labor
ing men, or anyone else, to use violence
in interfering with men who wanted
to work. -m
"But I don't feel that I want to stand
up here - and. without investigation
take any bill the Employers' Associa
tion throws at us," he added. He also
objected? to the emergency clause, as
sertlng that even if an emergency
might exist in the picketing situation,
none existed on the carrying of ban
Stott said flatly he would not vote
for the measure under any circum
stances so long as it carried an emer
gency clause.

BIG MARKET IN PROSPECT
Manufacturers Tell Mr. Slnnott
They Can TJse 5 00," 00 Skins a

Not Much Inducement.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU.
Washington. Jan. 16. Eastern, hat
manufacturers are showing an In
creased Interest in Oregon Jack-rabbit
fur as a raw material from which felt
may be made, and one Philadelphia
concern, L. Schoeble tt t-o.. nas.
through Representative Sinnott. asked
that 500 additional skins be forwarded
for experiment as quickly as they can
be prepared.
At Mr. Slnnott's suggestion, a oox
of Jack-rabbit skins was recently sent
to this factory, but the sender had not
taken the precaution to stretoh and dry
the skins before expressing them, ana
when they reached Philadelphia, they
were In bad shape. Fur experts, how
ever, examined the pelts, to determine
the quality of the fur and were so im
pressed that they asked for the Im
mediate shipment of 500 skins.
Skins Must Be Dried.
Mr. Slnnott, at the suggestion of the
hatters, has advised his constituents
Interested in finding a marKet tor
lack-rabbit fur to have all skins
xtretched on boards ana tnorous-niy
dried, while flat. before shipment.
Skins so DreDared not only remain in
sound condition during transit but
reach the factory in shape' to be
handled readily.
Another batch of Oregon Jack-rabbit
skins, sent at the suggestion of Mr.
Sinnott to the Stetson factory in Phila
delphia, was properly prepared before
shipment and those skins are now oe
ing worked up into felt hats. As the
result of experiments now in progress
or in contemplation, Mr. Sinnott' ex
pects to get a final verdict from some
of the best known felt hat manufac
turers of the' country as to the value
of the Oregon Jack-rabbit fur for hat
manufacture.
Price Offer- Is Nat Hlsh.
The St. Louis fur dealer who re
centlv was in correspondence with
Representative Sinnott regarding the
marketing of Jack-rabbit pelts, has ad
vised the Oregon member that he can
handle 600.000 or more skins a year,
provided the fur Is of good quality.
The price which this dealer offers,
however, is not high not sufficiently
hisrh. in Mr. Slnnott's opinion, to Justi
fy the shipment of many skins on the
terms named.
He is more hopeful that the hat
manufacturer! will find these pelts
satisfactory for their use, and if so
he believes a higher price can be ob-'
tained In the East than in St. Louis.
