JEWS OF AMERICA
TO CALL CONGRESS
Three Million People Scattered
Through United States to
Form Organization.
SUFFRAGE GIVEN TO WOMEN
Purpose Is "ot Merely to Alleviate
Sufferings of Individuals, but
to End Wrongs of Whole
Hebrew Race.
BY DAVID J. G ALTER.
PHILADELPHIA. June 10.' This is
election day for the Jews of America.
Three millions of them, scattered
througnout the length and breadth of
the land, were called to report at the
polling station nearest their home to
chose 400 men and women, who shall
constitute the American Jewish Con
gress, the first organization of Its kind
in the history of the Jews in this
country.
I ay men and women because one
of the first things they did before they
brought this complicated organization
into being was to decide the question '
of woman suffrage. By a unanimous
vote the women were given the same
rights and privileges with the men.
There is no doubt that in the election
which is being held today many women
will come out victorious. Such per
sonalities as Mrs. Joseph Fels, the wife
of the well-known single taxer and
philanthropist; Miss Henrietta Szold,
president of the Hadassah, the lead
ing Jewish women's organization in the
land: Mrs. Richard Gotthell, chairman
of the Women's Congress committee
and wife of the well-known Semitic
scholar at .Columbia University, will
undoubtedly be elected.
Jews Would Relieve Oppression.
The idea of the congress was first
broached at a conference held at New
York August SO, 1914. It grew out of
the desire on the part of the American
Jews to be of service to their brethren
still living under oppression, by ap
pealing to the conscience of the world
and by efforts to secure a hearing for
the claims of the Jews at the forth
coming peace conference.
The master mind responsible for the
congress idea was that indefatigable
worker in the Interests of his co
religionists, Mr. Justice Louis D. Bran
delj. While his appointment by Presi
dent Wilson to the position of Justice
of the Supreme Court of the United
States interrupted him when he was
in the midst of "putting his plans Into
effect, however, the work was taken
up by others and is now nearing com
pletion. With the election over today,
the wheels will be put in motion for
the congress proper, which will take
place in Washington not later than
September 2.
Brandelt Summarizes Work.
It was Justice Brandeis speaking
shortly before his nomination by the
President, who outlined the work of
the Jewish congress in these words:
"Though we may give ever so gener
ously in money, we shall still fail to do
our part in this great crisis unless we
seek, not merely to alleviate the suffer
ing of individual Jews, but to end the
wrongs to the Jewish people. We can
not cope with individual suffering un
less we succeed in removing the cause
of that suffering. And the fundamen-
tal cause of Jewish misery is not the
war. The war is but an accident, which
has made the long-existing misery ob
vious to the whole world. The war has
acted as a. magnifying glass, intensify
ing the suffering in some places ten
or a hundredfold, so that now none, ex
cept the blind, can fail to see It. The
underlying cause of Jewish misery is
ever the same. It is now the same as
it was before the war. And after the
war is over the misery will continue
further unless the conditions under
which more than one-half of the Jews
of the world live are radically changed.
In order to end the misery an end must
be put to injustice, an end to oppres
sion, an end to denial of opportunity."
Many Jewish Catherines Held.
In the course of the agitation carried
on in behalf of the Jewish emancipa
tion, different plans of organization
were advocated, and during the time
of the discussion and consideration of
the subject many important Jewish
gatherings were held and action on the
matter was taken by conventions and
meetings of Jewish organizations in all
parts of the country. In addition, at
least four notable conferences were
called into being in connection with the
propaganda, which was carried on for
the Jewish rights. The National Work
men's Convention of September 6 and 6,
1915; the conference of presidents con
vened by Adolph Kraus, grand master
of the Independent Order B'nal B'rith,
and held in New York , on October 3,
1915; the preliminary conference for an
American-Jewish Congress held in
Philadelphia March 26 and 27, 1916; the
conference of National Jewish organ
izations held in New York July 16, 1916
these conferences representing large
numbers of organized Jews in this
country and giving expression to the
sentiment of the Jewish masses of the
people, ultimately paved the way for a
coming together of all Jewish forces in
America on a common platform.
The officers of the American Jewish
Congress are Nathan Straus, chairman
Colonel Harry Cutler, Morris Hilquilt,
Dr. Harry Frledenwald, Dr. Isaac A,
Hourwich, Judge Leon Sanders, vice
chairmen; Adolph Lewlsohn, treasurer
Jacob Carlinger, honorary financial
secretary: Bernard G. Richards, execu
tive secretary.

dent Menocal. The measure authorizes

APPEAL IS TO EMPLOYERS
Duty to Explain Need of Buying War
Bonds Is Pointed Out.
BAN FRANCISCO. June 10. A. C.
Kains, governor of the Federal Reserve
Bank of the 12th district, who is in
chaxse of the liberty loan camp alga In
the district, issued an appeal to em
ployers yesterday to call meetings of
employes and explain the purposes of
and necessity for purchasing war bonds.
In making- the appeal Governor Kains
said:
"The results so far prove that the
response of the employe is in direct
proportion to the understanding, pa
triotism and public spirit of the em
ployers. The banks, with magnificent
public spirit and liberality, have made
possible the financing through the em
ployers of all purchases of liberty loan
bonds, however small. Tbe understand
ing of benefit to the buyer and to the
Government must come from personal
presentation, advice and example. A
few hours only are left to meet our
National responsibility. Please, there-

RAILWAYEARNINGSGROW
PROSPERITY SHOWN IN EVERY
SECTION OF COUNTRY.
Western Carriers Exceed Banner Year
of 1916, Revenues Increasing More
Rapidly Than Expenses.
WASHINGTON, June 10. Nearly com
plete returns from all railroads for the
four jnonths ending with April, made
public Saturday by the Interstate Com
merce Commission, show continuing
improvement In net earnings in every
section, notwithstanding greatly in
creased operating expenses.
The East still continues the dark spot
on the railroad map, but cnows a
marked Improvement In April over
March. Southern roads showed net
revenue for April, 1917, of $4 a mile less
than April. 1916. while Western roads,
grouped as a whole, made more money
than ever before, exceeding by $31 per
mile net revenues of the banner period
a year ago.
Operating revenues reached new
high figures, $1,192,911,654 for the
four months, an increase of nearly
J106.000.000.
Expenses rose approximately $125.-
000.000 to S72,000.0OO. For April, reve
nues showed an increase of $37,000,000
and expenses increased virtually the
same amount, leaving net revenues ap
proximately $100,000 more this April
than last. The discrepancy in per mile
figures is due to the operating of less
mileage last year.
Western roads showed increased re
ceipts of $56,000,000 and increased ex
penses of $46,000,000 during the period.
For April, the increase in revenues was
$18,000,000; in expenses. $14,500,000.
SHELLS AIMED AT DIVER
Bombardment of Algeciras Not Due
to Target Practice.
MADRID, June 9, via Paris, June 10.
Investigation of the accidental firing
of shells into Algeciras from Gibraltar
last Saturday show that it was not
due to a mistake during target prac
tice as was reported at the time, but
that the shots were fired at a sub
marine which fled into the straits, pur
sued by three cruisers. The submarine
attempted to escape in the darkness by
running close to the shore.
Gibraltar was notified of the approx
imate position of the submarine and
in attempting to reach it bombarded
the city. Only slight damage was done.

Alf
Lindsey Slashes His Own
Throat When Prevented
From Killing Wife.
TROUBLE IS AT LA GRANDE
Mother and Sister huiier uis u
Hands in Coming to Rescue
of Airs. Undsey, Who Is
Slashed by Husband. .
LA GRANDE, Or., June 10. (Spe
cial.) Alf Lindsey, a lew yeuro
one of the best amateur basketball
players In Eastern Oregon, last night
at midnight attacked his young and
attractive wife with a kitchen knife, but
was prevented from killing her when
the victim's mother and sister inter
fered, but not before he had inflicted
deep wounds upon his wife's head. He
then drove tne unite into ni
throat on the left side, severing hlB
windpipe.
Struggling in the blood - spattered
home of the Potts family, where Mrs.
Potts. Mr. and Mrs. Lambert and Mr.
and Mrs. Lindsey lived. Mrs. Potts and
her other daughter, Mrs. Lambert, ior
getting their own danger, gave heroic
battle to the crazed young man and,
with their bare hands cut and lacerated
in the struggle, beat him off and man
aged to get Mrs. Lindsey out of the
house in the middle of the night.
The moment the women had escaped
to safety, Lindsey turned on the front
porch and stuck the dull blade Into his
throat. The exterior veins were sev
ered and, with his wounds bleeding
freely, he staggered into the house.
Screams of the women brought neigh
bors to the scene, and the horrified
women were given first aid. None of
the women was seriously . hurt, al
though Mrs. Lindsey is in the hospital.
Lindsey was alive when physicians
and Chief of Police Rayburn arrived,
and he was carried to the hospital
near by. Doctors Hall, Biggers and
Bacon sewed up the gashes last night,
and this evening the man still lives.
That he can recover is deemed practi
cally impossible.
Motive for the act, it is said, is
found in the fact that Lindsey and his
wife had not been living happily. The
Potts family and Mrs. Lindsey were
about to move East, and to this Lindsey
seriously objected. The matter came
to a climax last night when Lindsey
wrote a note saying he was tired of
life and then tried to butcher his wife
and himself.
While being taken to the hospital he
was able to attract the physicians' at
tention to the note in his pocket, and
indicated his desire to be allowed to
die. The public at large knew nothing
of the family difficulty, as they lived
quietly and peaceably to outward ap
pearances. No taint of scandal Is at
tached to the family troubles, and a
good name has always been borne by
those implicated In the bloody affair.

Germans, He Declares, Train Machine
Guns on Ambulances and Riddle
Cars With Shrapnel.
CHICAGO, June 10. American college
men in the ambulance service in France
have performed a heavy task in the
opening of the Summer offensive
against the Germans on the west front.
Besides running the gauntlet of Ger
man snipers, the volunteers have
worked for days without rest, aceord-
ng to a letter received today by a
friend from Carroll Gates, a junior In
he University of Chicago, who has
been awarded Croix de Guerre for valor
in the ambulance service.
"We operate from the third-line
renches, where the wounded are
brought in from No Man's Land, and
the shells fall all around our ears. One
fellow was wounded and ten of our
cars shot full of shrapnel.
"The road going to our post on the
trenches is in full view of the Germans
and the 'bodies' shoot at us with ma
chine guns. A fellow had a piece of
his nose shot away by a bullet. At the
time of one attack our post was only
five-eighths of a mile from the German
first-line trenches and they fired at
our ambulances as much as they did at
the French soldiers, so it is not a very
healthy place for a peace-loving man."

political sciences yesterday heard an
address by Professor Henri Bergson,
the philosopher, on "public opinion in

America's adherence to neutrality dur
ing the first 30 months of the war was
due to the fact that the masses of the
American people did not realize that
Germany constituted a danger to the
world and to civilization. Professor
Bergson paid tribute to the Idealism of
President Wilson and the American
people.

OREGON AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE,
Corvallis. June 10. (Special.) The
seniors who will next year be officers
of the O. A. C. cadet regiment have re
cently been named by the commandant
of cadets and approved by the presi
dent of the college. Owing to the fact
that a number of these men are now
at the Presidio training camp and are
for that reason likely not to be back
next year, a number larger than the
quota of officers required have been
selected out of which Captains and
Lieutenants will be chosen when school
opens next Fall.
The amount of work required of the
cadet officers next year will be more
varied and extensive than ever before.
In all probability military training at
the college will be extended and Inten

Archbishop Christie Will Conduct

ALBANY, Or., June 10. (Special.)
Father J. A. Vanneval. state chaplain
of the Knights of Columbus, died last
night in St. Mary's Hospital in this
city at the asre of 62 years. He was
active in the formation of the Knights
of Columbus in this state and because
of this fact and his friendly disposition
he was widely known among members
of the order in Oregon.
Father Vanneval was born in West
Flanders. Belgium, and In 1S79 enterol
the priesthood of the Roman Cathulio
Church. He went at once to the mis
sions on Vancouver Island, B. C, and
there spent most of his life. He taught
for a number of years in St. Louis

Seven yearf: ago Father Vanneval

New Castle, Ind. "From the time
I was eleven years old until I was seven
teen I suffered each month so I had
to be in bed. I had headache, backache
and such pains I would cramp double
every month. I did not know what it
was to be easy a minute. My health,
was all run down and the doctors did
not do me any good. A neighbor told
my mother about Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound and I took it,
and now I feel like a new person. I
don't suffer any more and I am regular
every month." Mrs. Hazel Hamil
