Jua Brown's apcvlogy for his statement, which he made during the "Bloody Fifth" Ward hearing apropos of Lieutenant Bennetts having dropped the name of Steinberg was called "a worse Insult than the original statement " "It Is a fact that most Jews brought into Mi nra fnralffnara llvltlir In SRCtlOnS tllb political destinies of which are controHed by the llaloneys, Rlleys, Careys, Squlro Mc Mulllns, Vares, McNichols and other names of a non-Jewish sort," tho resolution reads in part, continuing qb follows! We deslro to bring to the attention of Judge Brown, or any other official of Philadelphia In any such position the fact that this organization and other Jewish organizations of the same sort will make an Imu of any attempt made by those in position! ot authority to discredit the Jewish people In the eyes of the community. , We consider Judge Brown's apology, ot explanation, a worse Insult than the orig inal statement, and desire to say that Judge Brown's statement that Jewa have been brought before him bearing Irish named for crimes which no Irishman would ever commit Is not only a mis statement, but absolutely disproved by the records of the courts. Fifth Ward conditions at tlfb present time are the direct results of education given to foreign Jewa by politicians, not of their faith, in which they are taught that they have an absolute rigm m ignore the law so long as the ward leader saa It goes.
