SHOCK IS FALSE
HEBREW CHIU
So Declares Rabbi Freund; Typ
ical Jew Cannot Be Created
in the Drama
That Shakespeare had created a
wrong impression of the Hebrew race
by his portrayal of Shylock as a venge
ful. grasping money lender was brought
out by Rabbi Charles J. Freund of
Ohev Sholom Temple in a sermon last
night. The Rabbi said: "No man can
create a typical Jew and surely not In
one drama. Shakespeare did not know
Jews, for they were excluded from
Kngland during his life time. But even
though has failed in liis
portrayal of the Jew, he made possibly
the greatest appeal for tolerance and
human kindness towards all mankind."
Rabbi Freund then quoted Shylock's
defense of himself where he says "I am
a .Tew." He also quoted from Lyman
Abbot's appeal lor human brotherhood
olid applied it In this way:
"Here.is the Jew, a human being cre
ated in the image of God: he is swayed
by the emotions and feelings as
\ ourselves: he is actuated to noble ac
tivity by high and noble motives: he
loves his home, wife and children bet
ter than himself: he stands ready to
make anv sacrifice for their welfare,
he bespeaks not your sympathy, but
vour fair mindedness. Treat him kincl-
Jy and fairly; he is n child of God; lie
is your brother; we are all God's chil
dren."
WANTED REDRESS
Claiming they were dismissed from
the dining car service of the Penu-
Hylvania Railroad without cause and
left without means to reach their
homes in New York, Oscar ,S. Mann
nnd John M. George applied to the
Board of Public Service Commission
ers for redress. Their case not being
within the jurisdiction of the com
missioners, the complainants' were di
rected to the Police Department,
where they were again informed that
there was no law which prevented an
employer from discharging his em
ployes.
MOVING DAY AT POST OFFICE
Twenty-five men under the super
vision of Post Office employes began
to move the furniture from the Post
Office building to the temporary quar
ters at Third and Locust streets at -1
o'clock this afternoon. Contractor

Boyd property for the reception of
Uncle Sam's office force has had sev
eral of his men moving the heavy
llxtures and equipment from the build
ing to the temporary quarters all day.
The Post Office will commence busi
ness in its new quarters at Third and
Locust streets at midnight Sunday.

the theater to obtain an injunction re
straining the police from interfering
with the production, and after the
hearing of testimony the court up
held the police. In its opinion it stat
ed that the only motive back of the
production was an undue desire on
the part of the management to make
money from a curious public. A pic
ture of this character cannot be taken
from real life and must therefore
necessarily be a staged production."
Have you seen the picture?" he
was asked.
"No, but having: in mind the action
upon this or a similar one, by the
New York courts X do not see any
reason why such views should be per
mitted in this city.
"No person." he continued, "is gull
ible enough to believe the statement
of the management when they say the
only motive prompting the exhibition
has for its purpose the moral educa
tion and uplift of the public. A mere
glance at the advertising posters is
sufficient to conclusively prove that
they desird to obtain the patron
age of a morbidly curious public rath
er than to teach a moral lesson."

Codifying- Ijaws —Steps to provide
the General Assembly of 1915 with
a complete code of the existing laws
of the Commonwealth are being ta
ken by tho State Legislative Refer
ence Bureau under provisions of an
act of the last Legislature and the
statutes of over 100 years have been
overhauled in the process. Tho re
port will include a statement of what
laws or parts of laws have been re
pealed and what have become obso
lete. The report will be a series of
compilations, by topics of the statutes,
arranged by chapters and sections, all
subheaded. with accompanying lists
of statutes to be repealed, which will
furnish the State with its first codes
of laws. The acts relative to schools,
bituminous mining, militia and other
matters have already been codified
and the public service law is another
form of grouping laws. It is the idea
to have the report printed and placed
before the General Assembly soon af
ter it meets a year hence.
Engineers to Meet.—The new engi
neers' commission, which is to make
a study of the engineering profession
in the State and report on the advisa
bility of licensing engineers engaged
on construction, maintenance and op
eration of public and private works
where there are unusual hazards and
such laws as may be needed in the
public interest, has been called to
meet here on January 16. The com
mission will begin work at once and
as all of the members are engineers
experienced in various kinds of work
it is expected that the report will be
prepared before many months. It is
to be submitted by November 1.
Public Service.—The Public Service
Commission adjourned last night after
deciding a number of cases and ar
ranging for the hearing on the pass
question on January 20. In the case
of 31. "A. Kelly, of this city, who com

lic Charities has issued a statement
showing that $20,626,084.92 was ap
propriated by the last Legislature for
charities and cut by the Governor to
$16,855,391.31. The board recom
mended $16,829,239.35, and this is the
most striking instance ever known
where the Governor followed the rec
ommendations of the board. Never
before has so small an amount as
$26,000 been known between recom
mendations and approvals. It is Quite
a feather for the board. The amount
allowed for new institutions was
$310,000, including a quarter million
for the State industrial home for
women. In addition the Legislature
allowed the Department of Health
$2,62 5,000 for the State's campaign
against tuberculosis, which has at

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
CONFERENCE LOOKS
LIKE OLHEH TIMES
FHnn and His Associates Use New
Names, But Methods Arc
' of Old Style
Pittsburgh, Jan. 10. Announce
ment of a conference to be held at
Harrisburg next week by representa
tives of the Washington party in Penn
sylvania has caused no end of politi
cal gossip among men of all parties.
It is stated in one of the organs of the
third party that "the conference would
sound the keynote in the next cam
paign and at the same time there will
be a discussion as to standard bearers
for the fight."
It Is pointed out by old line political
observers that in other days not BO far
distant such a conference would have
been denounced as the worst exhibi
tion of boss rule: that the will of the
people was being suppressed; that a
few men were selecting the candidates
| of the party, and that the masses were
| being ignored.
It is also suggested that in view of
the enactment of State-wide primary
laws and a general revolution in elec
tion methods in favor of direct nomi
nations the calling of a conference to
select candidates in advance of the
primary is nothing short of reaction
ary and a return to the methods which
are alleged to have been the excuse
for organising the third-party move
ment.
For more than a week certain
names have been mentioned as the
only likely nominees of the Washing
ton party for United States Senator
and the several State offices. If the
Republican and Democratic parties
had followed this course, it is prob
able that there would have been the
most vitriolic denounciation of boss
methods and the overturn of the rule
of the people! It has not been for
gotten that the Republican convention
of 1912 was absolutely tinder the
domination of William Flinn. the local
boss and his lieutenants: that the
delegates taking part in that conven
tion were elected without any instruc
tions as to the make-up of the State
ticket, and that the nominees were
never thought of at the time of the
election of the delegates. These nom
inees of the Republican convention
were subsequently endorsed by the
Washington party, elected, and have
since recognized the Washington party
machine as the only one deserving
their consideration and this in face
of the repeated pledges to the people
by the Washington party leaders that
there would be no machine, that the
common people would be in control
and would name all of the candidates.
Notwithstanding all of this a con
ference has been called to meet in
Harrisburg next week contrary to the
spirit of tiie primary law to set up and
slate candidates for T'nited States
senator, governor and other State offi
ces to bo filled this year. Is it any
wonder that voters who supposed that
the old things had passed away and
all things had become new in political
management are expressing great sur
prise over the bossism displayed by
the leaders of the third party?
There is no secret made of the fact
that the conference is expected to re
sult in the elimination of all prospec
tive candidates except those having
the approval of the leaders, who will
expect the people to endorse their se
lections. Tt is quietly intimated that
it necessary to have a ticket made
>T rich men who will be able to
t! nee the campaign and the com
mon people who still imagine they
have a hand in the nominations of the
third party will be expected to furnish
the cheers next May.
After the conference at Harrisbtirg,
which will be made up of men and
women, there will be a Progressive
r~lly in Philadelphia to sort of give
lr and substance to the alleged
crnent of the people,
re is a strong suspicion among
c.-.oful political observers throughout
the State that the conference which
has been called by the bosses of the
third party so early in the year is a
tactical move intended to strengthen
the hold of the leaders upon the rank
and Hie. This hold has been per
ceptibly slipping for some time and
unless some plan can be adopted to
check the return to the old party the
third party movement will have al
most disappeared before election day.
It is also dawning upon thousands of
men who supported Colonel Roose
velt that any further division of the
Republican party will simply mean
more offices for the Democrats.

Appeal of Duchess De
Talleyrand Is Rejected
By Associated Press
Koine, Jan. I.—The Segnatura tri
bunal, the high court of the Roman
Curia, to-day rejected the appeal of
the Duchess De Tallyrand ( formerly
Anna Gould of New York) from the
verdict of Rota Tribunal annulling:,
her marriage to her first husband,
Count Bonl De Castellane.
] Anna Gould was married to Count
Boni De Castellane in 1895 and ob
| tained a divorce from him in 1906
through the civil courts of Paris. She
was married the present Duke De Tal-
I leyrand in London in 1908.
j In 1910 Count Roni applied to tho
I Vatican to have his marriage to Anna
Gould annulled. On December 26,
.1911, the application was rejected by
| the Congregation of the Cuneil.
I In March, 1913, the Rota Tribunal
! in Rome reheard the case with fresh
evidence and reversed the former de
cree thereby granting, the annulment
to Count Roni.
The Duchess De Talleyrand appeal
ed to the Apostolic Segnatura Tribunal
which to-day rejected her appeal.
The annulment of her church niar-
I riuge to Count Roni therefore stands
I for the present.
