The local office of the Pinkerton Na tional Detective agency has received word from San Francisco of the arrest there of William Wilson, alias R. G. Winters, alias 11. M. Hamilton, who is being held as a fugitive from justice and who is alleged to have passed bogus checks in many big cities of the country, including Portland. Wilson was taken in a San Francisco jewelry store, after putting up a fight against a number of detectives. The man was in Portland February 1, when reports of his operations in Tacoma and Seat tle on January '29 and 30 were received at the Pinkerton office here. His spe-. cialty consisted in passing checks for 31.40 on jewelry stores and other busi ness houses, the checks apparently being drawn on the American Surgi cal association and certified.

Louis Mar shall, president of the( American Jew ish committee, has given out a state ment taking issue with the testimony of Dr. George S. Simons before the sub committee on judiciary of the senate, which is investigating bolshevism. J-r. Simons testified regarding the activity of Jews in the bolshevist movement in Russia and said that the present chaotic conditions there are due in large part to the activities of Yiddish agitato from the east side of New York City who went to Russia immediately fol lowing the overthrow of the czar. M Marshall's statement reads: "I do not know Dr. Simons, who has made a sensational statement affecting the Jews before the Overman comrni tee, but the fact that he seems to love the Russia of 1907. the period when czarism was at its height, would indi cate that his association with the.. Jews has been but limited. He is entirely correct In one statertient, that the so called bolshevist Jews of Russia arc apostates. They are more than that Like all bolshevists, they bitterly hate all religion and all that is compre hended in the abhorred word bour geoisie. The statements made by Dr. simon in other respects are inaccurate, unre liable and unfair. The Jews of Russl; as a mass are the opponents of bolshe vism. both because they belong to th bourgeoisie and because they cherls their religion. The bundists are an or ganization of Jewish working men whom the bolshevists are seeking to ex rerminate. The Jews are also largely represented in the social democratic and the con stltutional democratic parties, ' whicl are the sworn foes of bolshevism. When Prince Lvoff, who became the premie of Russia at the outbreak of the revolu tion in March, 1917, was here recently he stated to me that in his opinion 95 per cent of the Jews of Russia are anti-bolshevik: that there are some men, however, who were born Jews, like Trotzky, who had become promi nent members of the bolshevik party and whose sins were seized upon by the anti-Semites for their own illegit mate purposes. "He told me that shortly before he came to this country he had been for a time imprisoned by the bolshevik!, and while incarcerated he was visited by one Poliakoff, who hela an office of some importance under the bolshevfki The prince had known, him for some time and expressed his surprise that he should have affiliated himself with that party, 'for,' he said, 'you know that, be ing a Jew, whatever you do will, usual, be charged against the Jews as a whole.' To this Poliakoff replied: A1 though I was born a Jew I have no in terest whatever in the Jews or in any other religious body. I am an interr nationalist, and I am Tiot in any way concerned with what becomes of the Jews "At about the .same time there h&d been an outbreak.which resulted in the loss of many Jewish lives, and a -committee called on Trotzky to urge upon him the necessity of taking steps for the protecting of their lives. He very coolly answered that he was not inter ested in the Jews or in what might hap pen to them, and that he did not regard himself as a Jew in any sense. 'The fact that Dr. Simons may be able to prepare a list of Jews who'are bolshevists means nothing. I could go to Ossining tomorrow and prepare from the records there a list of crim inals who may be of English, French, Italian or Slavonik parentage or who may belong to the Episcopalian.tMetho dist. Baptist or Catholic churches, and seek to deduce from such lists conclu sions derogatory of the nationality or of the church to which they belong with as much reason as Dr. Simons has to deduce from his list the conclusions which he is apparently seeking tJ in culcate. In fact, Lenine. who heads the list, is not a Jew, and Mart off,, who ap pears upon it, is strongly opposed to bolshevism. "He says that Jews from the east side went to Russia immediately after the revolution and are now active bolshe vists. It is well known that when the news of the revolution came there were quite a number of Russians, both Jews and non-Jews, who returned to their native land. Some of them placed themselves at the disposal of Milukov and Kerensky. Others doubtless joined the bolshevists. Their return was en couraged by the Russian government. which supplied, them with the means of transportation. The suggestion that anv financial or other assistance came from the east sidu is a ridioulous fabri cation. v ' t 'There is an intimation that there are Jewish bolshevists in this country. The term 'bolshevist,' as now used, means anything or everything to which the speaker may for the moment be. op posed. I deny that there is on theeast Hide any considerable number of those who are opposed to government or who adhere to or sympathize with the anar chistic conceptions of Lenine and Trotzky. In fact, several of the leading socialists who knew Trotzky when he I -ola ted La n d s P u nli a scd . THE DALLES. Or., Feb. 20. (Spe cial.)

They de ride him today as they did when he was a Bronx penny-a-liner. "Everything that real bolshevism stands for is to the Jew detestable. His traditions wed him to law and order. make of him a legalist. The bolshevists are the enemies of law and order. The i Jew makes the very center of his life and of his existence the home and the family. The bolshevists decry marriage and contemn morality. The Jew is justly noted for being thrifty and eco nomical and with recognizing as neces sary the institution of property. The bolshevist is seeking the destruction of j the very concept of property. The great mass of the Jews are faithful to their ancient religion and are ever ready to help their brother in distress. The club of the bolshevist knows no brother and he despises religion. ihe innuendo is also thrown out that the Jews are not patriotic Let their record during this war speak for them. They constitute but 3 per cent of the population of this country, yet more than 5 per cent of their number en tered our armv and nnvv nnri a lorr proportion of the number as volunteers. I expect shortly to supply an authentic list of all the men who served under j the colors, so as to be able to present to our maligners irreffragable proof that ! the Jews have furnished, in proportion . to their numbers a larger quota to our ' military and naval forces than any other part of our population. ; 'Let me also refer to the casualty ! ists to establish the fact that the Jews ! of this country not only served, but that ; they were brave and heroic and were prepared to make the supreme sacrifice for America because they love it. Let me also refer to the list of citations for exceptional heroism, to the men who fought in the Argonne forest, to those who constituted a part of the Lost Bat talion, and who participated in every movement of our troops. You will find mong them east side Jews in large numbers. "It is difficult to understand the mo tive behind this attempt to arouse un worthy passions. Attack bolshevism as much s you please and the Jews of America are with you. But what justi fication is there for charging the Jews with bolshevism when in reality there smaller percentage 'of them who can truthfully be so denominated than there is in any other section of the American people? I might illustrate this point by referring to the recently published list of I. W. W. who are waiting deportation, the vast majority whom are non-Jews."
