at Ins residence 232 Medbury avenue,
on Saturday evening, .1\farch 24. Mr.
Barnett was one of 21 children, rose
from very lowly beg - innings to a place
of prominence and power in the com-
munity life. Those who knew him
best pay him high tribute for' his de-
votion to his family and his unflinch-
ing loyalty to his friends. As presi-
dent of the Board of Estimates and as
member of the City Council, NI r. Bar-
nett v a s active in furthering many
movements of social and civic im-
portance, including the extension of
the playground system and the build-

under the auspices of the Knights of
Pythias Lodge, of which Mr. Barnett
was a member, Amon( fifteen hundred
persons being present. Internment was
at M achpelah Cemetery.

Residents of the East Side were
roused from their beds at a late hour
last Saturday by the shouts and songs
of a great procession of people which
paraded through the streets. Some of
them wore masque CoStumes, others
carried red flags, and many carried
piercing an effigy
improvised spikes
head of the deposed czar of Russia.
The stirring strains of the interna-
tional anthem of revolution, the "Mar-
seilliese," were shouted from several
hundred throats and filled the air with
a martial wave:' •
It was an inipromptu celebration of
the success of the Russian revolution
by overjoyed Jews, who gave vent to
their emotion upon the realization that
millions of their brethren were free
in the former despotic land. The cele-
• bration had its nucleus at a masque
ball given by several Jewish groups
on behalf of "The Forward." En-
thusiasm here overreached ordinary
bounds. At 2 a. in. the masqueraders
formed outside the hall at Sherman
and Russell streets, and began a weird
procession down Sherman street.
When the marchers had reached
Hastings street they had been joined'
by several hundred Jews who caught
the spirit of the affair. On up Hast-
ings street the parade moved. Along
this main artery of the East Side the
paraders gave vent to their wildest
enthusiasm. By this time the crowd
had swelled to 'almost 1,000 people.
At Theodore street the procession
disbanded at 4 a. in. after several stir-
ring speeches had been made by sev-
eral of the leaders.

Funeral services for Mrs. Nancy
Samuels took place from her resi-
dence, 938 Brush street, on Tuesday
afternoon, Rabbi Hershman officiat-
ing. Surviving are -three children,
Mrs. Harry Titlebaum, Carrie and
