ODESSA.—Just prior to the revolu-
tion, the local press told of a prosecu-
tion against three court secretaries. at
which some very characteristic facts
were brought out.
These secretaries, who were found to
be without any education whatsoever,
and had obtained their responsible posi-
tions through their influential connec-
tions with the leaders of the Black Hun-
dreds, had to resort to most unusual
means in order to carry out their offi-
cial duties. Finding themselves called
upon to frame certain legal documents.
they hired a Jewish young man, Lerner
by name, himself an advocate through
private education only, who did all their
work for them, getting fifty kopecks for
every document. The whole matter was
accidentally discovered when at an in-
spection the police came upon a great
number of original court documents in
possession of Lerner.

ROME—In his unique apartment,''
designed and arranged by him in the
Tower of Belisarius on the ancient
walls of Rome, Moses Ezekiel, the
distinguished and greatly beloved
American sculptor, died of pneumonia,
on Tuesday, March 27. He had re-
sided in Rome for more than forty
years, and his death caused universal
regret here.
Moses Ezekiel was born in Rich-
mond, Va., a son of Jacob and Cath-
erine de Castro Ezekiel, on October
28, 1844. When he was a boy lie be-
gan cutting out figures for little
shadow pictures, and when he was 14
he was devoting his obt-of-school
hours to drawing, painting and writ-
ing poetry. About this time he gave
up art and for six months worked in
a store. He soon tired of this and

was undecided what to do, when the
Civil War broke out. He entered the

THE CHOSEN
PEOPLE

By Sidney L. Nyburg

$1.40 net

This vital story of the Jews in America.
Is a romance of unusual power and will
appeal to all classes—Jews and Christians
alike. We predict that it will be made
the subject of many essays and sermons.

A Brilliant Piece of Work.

New York Times :—"A brilliant piece of
work. . . . To enumerate the well-handled
scenes and the admirably portrayed char-
acters would be simply to give a list of
the incidents and people in the book.
. . . A story of distinction . . . well
worth attention."

Of Exceptional Quality.

Boston Transcript :—"A novel of excep-
tional quality. It brings to life a little-
studied aspect of our civilization. Philip
Graetz, in his contrast with the thorough-
ly utilitarian and ultra-practical David Gor-
don, is a fine type of honesty and loyalty."

Virginia Military Institute and par-
ticipated in the Cadets' defense of
Newmarket. When the war was over
he came to Europe to study, and won
the Priz de Rome. He became the
close friend of Cardinal Hohenlohe.
For years his studio in the Baths of
Diocletian was the rendezvous of all
important visitors and the most
prominent representatives of art.
Moses Ezekiel was a great lover of
music and was the pupil of Liszt.

Works of Art Numerous.

The first big work of the sculptor
was "Religious Liberty," which he
was commissioned by the Jewish
Order, Sons of the Covenant, in 1874,
to execute for the centennial exhibi-
tion. This was later placed in Fair-
mount Park, Philadelphia. Another
monument to his art is "Virginia
Mourning Her Dead." He made a
bronze bust of Liszt for Cardinal
Hohenlohe. For the Grand Duke of
Saxe-Meiningen he made copies of his
busts of Liszt and Hohenlohe. For
these Ile received two royal decora-
tions, giving him the standing of a
knight.
The examples of his art in America
are numerous, chief among them
being the bust of Washington in the
Cincinnati Art Museum, a monument
to Jesse Seligman at the Jewish Or-
phan Asylum, New York; a colossal
statue of. Columbus, Columbus Me-
morial Building, Chicago, Ill.

Decorated by Royalty.

Sir Moses Ezekiel was decorated by
the German Emperor with the cross
of merit and art and by the late King
Humbert and the present King Vic-
tor Emanuel.
One of the last visits paid by the
sculptor to America was in 1910, when
he came to be present at the unveiling
of three statues, one a bronze of
Stonewall Jackson, for Charleston,
W. Va., another of Jefferson of the
University of Virginia, and another to
the memory of Confederate prisoners,
• who died in Johnson's Island, 0.
His last work, a statue of Poe, sent
west only a .few weeks before his ill-
ness, is to he erected is Baltimore.
No man in Rome was more beloved
than Ezekiel. He will be missed by
the poor. He expressed a desire to
be buried in the National Cemetery,
Arthington, Va., where he erected a
monument to his fellow Confederate
soldiers.
