Rumors published abroad indicating | that rabbis have been executed are de- clared to be slanderous inventions, ! Taking up again protests from foreign | Christian sources, the rabbis remark that neither the papacy nor the arch- | bishopric of Canterbury ever did nn)ut thing against the persecution of Jews in | czarist Russia and were silent when, during the advance of the White Rus- sian guards in Ukrainia in :918-i919, “the flower of the orthodox Jews were annihilated. including the famous Nejin Rabbi_Chein, while scrolls of the Bible were trampled underfoot and smeared with the blood of old mea and in- nocent children.

CHICAGO, February 27.—Bomb case convictions, which have been rare in comparison with the high number of bombings, had two added to their num- ber Tuesday.
