STUDENTS' NIGHT AT
TEMPLE FRIDAY, JAN. IS
WASHINGTON (J. T. A.). —Louis Marshall, Dr. Stephen S. Wise, Gedalia Bublic, William Edlin and Jacob Fish- man appeared before the House Immi¬ gration Committee yesterday and se¬ verely protested against the new John¬ son immigration bill which is now being considered.
Louis Marshall declared that immigra¬ tion restriction is the idealogy of thc Ku .Klux Klan because the Klan wants only white, Protestant and Anglo-Saxon im¬ migrants to come to this country, and the proposition to base the immigration quotas on the 1890 census coincides with the Klan principles. The new law would reduce by nine-tenths the immigration from Southern an^^Eastern Europe, Mr. Marshall said. I^e also protested against the proposition t^ fingerprint immigrants and proposed (tW invmigration certifi¬ cates ^shouldjbe used inst^^ He re- liiffi'SIa^" tHe''7<Sihntittee'"of the" gVeat achievements of immigrants, and pointed especially to Marconi and Steinmetz. When asked what he thought of selec tive immigration Mr. Marshall replied that the present law is already selective because it admits only persons physically, morally and mentally fit. He oppos«i the examination of immigrants abroad, he said, because it would create a num¬ ber of American czars a'nd it would be dangerous to hand the decision about the admission of immigrants to officials abroad.
After Mr. Marshall, Mr. Joseph Kan- terowitz spoke in behalf of the Inde¬ pendent Order B'nai B'rith.
Jacob Fishman emphasized the injus¬ tice that will be done to immi^irants from certain countries, and especially the Jews, if Mr. Johnson's immigration pro¬ posal is accepted. Dr. Ayise ridiculed the contention that the Nordic race is superior, saying that thc Bible did not originate with the Nordic race but with ati Asiatic race, and that the Anglo- Saxon laws are based on the Jewish Bible. At this, Chairman Johnson de¬ clared that neither he nor any other member of the Immigration Committee was race prejudiced. Dr. Wise replied he had no doubt but that the bill tended to discriminate against certain races, William Edlin, speaking on behalf of the Association of Foreign Language News¬ papers, said ^e bill was against true democracy and the spirit of the founders of the United States. He said that the members of the committee should, come to New York and see for themselves the {Concluded on page 4}

An Enviable Record
J    -
Few hospitals in this country during the same short period of time have accomplished as much as, the National Jewish Hospital for Consumptives. Its record is one pf which all Jews may be proud. It has been a pioneer in national tuberculosis work, commanding atten¬ tion from its very inception twenty-five years ago. Because of its immediate success, people' suffering with tuberculosis came to it by the hundreds from all parts of the country. Today the hospital has twelve buildings and accommodations for one hundred and eighty-five patients and during the twenty-five years of its existence has cared for about 5,000 patients.
Men, women and children of jnahy creeds and many classes have been among these five thousand pa.t!ents and we think the Jews of the Middle West should know about ^them. These men and women, old and young, foreign and Americaift ,bom, ignorant and educated, had one thing in common — they had tuberculosis and they could not pay for the treatment and the National Jewish Hospital for.

Anotlier Interesting Meeting Held By Temple Sisterhood
Mrs. Paul Feinknopf opened the regular meeting of the Rose E. Lazarus Sisterhood, held last Tuesday, January 8th, at two o'clock, at the Bryden Road Temple, with a beauitful prayer, which was followed by a few songs sung by the^ body, and led by Mrs. Julius Goldberg, with Mrs. Louis Mark at the piano. Mrs. Marcus H. Burnstine pre¬ sided at the meeting.
Mrs. C C. Pavey addressed' those present on the League for the Enforce¬ ment of Law, urging a <100% member¬ ship on the part of the Sisterhood to this League.
Chairmen,of the various comAiittees read their monthly reports. Resolu¬ tions/on the death of Mrs. Johanna Cahen, read by Mrs. Solomon Loeb, will be found elsewhere' in this issue.
The family of the late Mrs. Fred Lazarus presented the Sisterhood with a' beautiful picture of her who for twenty-five years was its faithful and inspiring president. The picture will adorn the front wall of the vestry room of the Temple.
The afternoon's program in charge of Mrs. Robert Lazarus was indeed a delightful surprise. Mrs. Simon Laz^ rus rendered a group of lovely songs, which included several German selec¬ tions, accompanied by Mrs. Richard Gaines. The Buckeye Quartet was piost generous in song, recitation, and novelty numbers. Mr. Jackson, a mem¬ ber of the Quartet, gave several imita¬ tions of the famous colored comedian, Bert Williams, which proved most en¬ joyable.

, "Columbus' quota of $250,000 which is being sought by District Grand Lodge No. 2, r. O. B. B., to defray the ex^ pcnse of erecting a new infirmary build¬ ing for the National Jewish Hospital for Consumptives at Denver, Colorado, is $10,000," said L. J. Goodman, chair¬ man of thc local campaign committee, to a representative of the Ohio Jewish
CtlRONICtE.
"Because of my firm conviction that the National Jewish Hospital is per¬ forming a great humanitarian service to the Jews and other people of this country and also because of my con¬ fidence in the extraordinarily great worthiness of and need for this drive, I am sure that the generous-hearted people of Columbus' will respond in a most liberal and charitable manner.
"The "National Jewish Hospital," lilr. Goodman explained, "has established a most enviable reputation as a pioneer in national tuberculosis work. From its very inception twenty-five years ago, it has commanded the attention and respect of every sincere worker in the big war on "The Great White Plague." Its record is one of which every Jew and Jewess in this country may be proud.-
"Becausc of  its  immediate  success," continued  Mr. Goodman,  "people  suf¬ fering with tuberculosis came to it by the  hundreds   from  all   parts   of   the country.

"He has been a member of thc Lodge for 16 years and a member of its Social Service Committee for three years. His work has been carried on in a most ex¬ emplary manner.
"Whenever an opportunity to serve the Lodge ha^s presented itself, Mr. Wein¬ feld has proved his right to be called a 'True Son o£ the Covenant.'
"I heartily endorse his candidacy and am confident he will grace the position which he is seeking for the first time."
From another well-known Ben B'rith, the Chronicle has received the follow ing brief but telling letter: "Will you please allow me through your columns to pay my respects to a fellow- co-religion< ist of ours who has been doing splendid work of a public nature for a number of years — Mr. Samuel Weinfeld?
"Mr. Weinfeld, as you know, is at present seeking the office,of Guardian of Zion Lodge.
"I think it will only be proper that he should get this office by acclamation."
Up to the time of this writing the Chronicle has received no communica¬ tion from friends of Mr. Katz. We are informed, however, that he has been carefully and zealously canvassing among the orthodox Jews of the community and that he is confident that the Lodge will honor him with <the office he has been seeking during the last four years and eventually become president of the Lodge.

The Chbonicle is informed that a committee has already been formed to canvass the leading representative Jews of the city and to explain to them the hospital's immediate need for a new infirmary building.
This publication heartily endorses this drive and trusts that the individual members of this committee will be re¬ ceived with respect by all approached.
In another part of this issue, we are publishing a double column article en¬ titled "An Opportunity to Make an Investment, Bringing lOOO^fc in Divi¬ dends"— describing what the National Jewish Hospital at Denver stands for, what it is doing, and what is expected of the Jewish public with respect to the maintenance and continued progress of this exemplary institution. All our readers are urged to peruse this article carefully, and to form their own'^con¬ clusions.
