A person having the name of Jacob would purchase a “J” and so on, until the final sentences were complete. The scrolls cannot be printed, but must be written on the parchment from a clean kosher animal, in square letters by a man who is worthy and competent to inscribe the words of Moses. The new Sefer-Torah will be met by the elders of the congregation who will carry out the other scrolls from the holy ark to greet the new one ouside the synagogue under a canopy.

Hor- witz and Harry L Carrell, president of the congregation.

The photographers having com- pleted their work, the two shook hands warmly and smilingly parted as old friends, each having forgotten for the time that they were political opponents. Employes of the State house lined the corridor to see Mr. Dawes ar- rive and depart, and among them the Republican nominee recognized sev- eral old acquaintances.

Carrera, and the man who aided in such an effective manner the cause of our independence, the Anglo-Saxon Republic has had the good fortun, to send to us more than one man whose personality remains in the memory of Chileans surrounded with special feelings of kindliness. “We belleve that the name of the present Ambassador of the United States in Chile, Mr. William Miller Colller, will be one of those which will survive in the history of the good relations between Chile and America. “From the time that he arrived in our country, something over two years ago, Mr. Collier has shown himself to be a type of American especially fitted to gain for himself the good will of the Chileans; to penetrate into the Intimacy of our character, and to give to his coun- try and to ours the splendid service of strengthening their friendship for each other. » & “But that which above all reveals him to the Chileans as the man whom we would wish to be the representa- tive of that great power in our coun- try is his eagerness to know our country, to penetrate to the very soul of the people, to bind himself to us by repeated acts of sympathetic in- terest. Knows Country Well. “Mr. Collier is the first foreign dip- lomat whom we recall of whom it can be said that he knows all of Chile from the extreme north to Punta Arenas in the Straits of Magellan, without leaving out even the small villages or any notable industry, a of the spots of beautiful scenery or the remote corners of the coun- try which gives promise of future riches. * * ® * % %k “There are not many Chileans who can say, as he can, that they have sailed on the Lakes of Llanquihue and Todos los Santos, that they have been present at the operations in manufacture of nitrate, know our coal mines and witnessed the rounding up of cattle on our great haciendas. “He has traits which show to us that idealism which lies at the bottom of American character, and which is the part most generally unknown in the psychology of that people. Thus we see him today, calling together his compatriots, to bring back in the embassy the scene which took place in the consulate general of the time of Poinsett when, on the 4th of July, 1812, the Americans resident in San- tiago sang the hymn which Camilo | Henriquez, the editor of the first Chilean newspaper, has written in friendship with Chile, | Praise for Thoroughness. “Mr. Collier has thoroughly gone over all the history of the relations between his country and ours. Where he has found reminiscences indicative of fraternity and mutual esteem, he has made note of It, portraits of prom- inent Americans given by him to our various institutions, commemorative of acts indicative of cordiality; none of them has been overlooked. | “He is a great disseminator of the sceds of good international under- ing. We Chileans will always upon him as a friend of our try, and we sincerely believe that 4 he leaves Chile—may that not for a long time—William Miller lier will often think of this far- away republic where he has so many friends and so many admirers of his talent, and So many witnessess of his lofty and noble work.” CHARGED WITH HOLDUP, Shoots Victim Through Heart ‘When Argument Begins on Auto’'s Running Board.

On Gibbons and Gleason railroad authorities must rely for an explana- tion of the wreck, Division Supt. Frank W. Everett declared tonight, for it was their engine which passed caution and danger signals and sped by a flagman sent back several hun- dred feet from the | “Lake Shore Limited. “The automatic signal system was functioning properly.” Mr. kverett said, “and the preliminary investiga- tion indicates the was a disregard of signals on the part of the engi- neer on No. 47 (the Detroiter).” The fact that both tra posed entirely of were com- steel cars is given by railroad men as probable reasons for the absence of fatalitie Gibbons, in a few gasping tences, spoken & he was brought back to this city, is said to have told persons that he slowed down when he saw the danger sig- nals, but that he had underestimated the distance between block signals. The most surpriang escape from injury reported by a group of couts in the rear car of the Lake Shore Limited. Some of them said the collision had not even awakened the The engine of the “Detroiter” crushed the rear vestibule of this car and displaced the rear trucks, but otherwise left it und. ged. ome of the boys actually have to be roused from sleep to get them from the wreck. Cars farther ahead in the forward train, however, fared worse, and it was in these that the most passen- gers were hurt. The majority of those injured were thrown with force against the front wall of their berths, which accounted for the large num- ber of fractured legs and injuries to the feet, accordi to railroad men here.

Tests by Bureau of Standards ex- perts yesterday disposed of one the- ory as to the death early Thursday morning of Policeman Leisinger, who was shot while riding }on the rear bumper of an automob believed to have been a liquor car, near North Capitol and 1 streets, and had the effect of narrowing down the vestigation suing. The theory these te from Leisinzer's own revolver rico- cheted on the rear of the automobile |and entered his side. The weight of {the bullet which killed Leisinger, { however, was shown to be far greater than the ones carried in s Févolver. | The new theorics developed, how | ever, are first, the bullet was fired b; |a .45 caliber revolver and glanced inst some substance, losing a por- tion of its lead: or, second, it might | be a missile from a forelgn make of | revolver. | Simple Tests Made. | The tests were simple. The bullet | found in the body of the policeman, | | thus far has been pur- that is set at rest by the one found in a cup at 10 I street northeast and a bullet fired by De- | tective Sergt. Conno bag at the Bureau of Standards were weighed and compared by experts. The results were as follows: {bullet found in the body weighed 112.027 grains. This means a builet from a revolver of more than .40 cali- ber bLut less than .45 caliber. The bullet fired by Detective Conners | weighed 10156 grains, which is | from the regulation .38 police revol- | ver, such as Policeman Leisinger him- s rricd and from which he had fired five shots before meeting death. | The third bullet, found in the I street | house weighed 9.351 grains, which {might be a .35 calibered jbullet. This would indicate, police { believe, that more than one person firing on Policeman Leisinger. Police now know the type of gun o look for among suspects is one that is over .38 caliber. Another lit- tle detail, which may prove important in the final analysis, it was stated, was the discovery that the bullet showed evidence it had been ejected from the muzzle of a revolver with narrow rifling. : The modern revolvers have wide rifling, except a few foreign makes. Some of the old-fashioned .45's and | -44's have narrow rifling. Two possi- bilities, therefore, are open: First, volver, struck something and lost some of its weight before entering the body of Leisinger; or it came from a revolver of foreign make, between the .3%-caliber and .45-caliber wea- {pons known in this country. There are no American-made revolvers be- tween these two sizes. Seek Definite Lead. Detectives were still fighting for a definite lead on the case last night. The suspects who are under arrest were given a midnight grilling, but Police stated that there was nothing { whatever new in the case. Nearly | the entire detective force is heavy- eyed and weary with lack of sleep. The full bureau has been working literally day and night on the case. The four suspects are still being held. They are Mary Nelson, 19, of 72 Florida avenue; James Stewart, | 33, of 1610 Reeves street; John Henry Smith, 34, of 441 New Jersey avenue, and James Harold Edwards of the same address. Additional contributions to the fund which is being raised by police for Leisinger's widow have been re- ceived as follows: William C. Deming, United States Civil Service Commis- sion, §5; Kaleb S. Miller, $5, and an additional $1 from an anonymous con- tributor. COMMUN ITIES JOIN Meeting to Be Held at Hyattsville Tuesday Night to Arrange Mobilization. Special Dispatch to The Star.

With less than two weeks in which to organize the units which will march in the Defense Test parade, those directing the movement are bending every effort to have all en- rollment blanks in, so that those men of military age—18 to 45 years—may be notified where and when to report. Clubs, civic and patriotic organiza- tions have been appealed to by Com- missioner Bell to send in their blanks just as soon as each one is filled out, and not wait until their entire mem- berships are heard from. If they are all sent in at once, it is feared that the task of attempting to notify the individuals in time for the parad~ will be imposzible. The plans for the review have been completed by the committee in charge, and all of the efforts now will be directed in preparing for the mobilization of the manhood of the city to show its people what can be expected of the National Capital should an emergency occur.
