RUSSIAN JEWS ENTER. FORMER

• FORBIDDEN FIELDS
For the first time since the organi-
zation of the Zemstvos in Russia, Jews
were permitted' to send delegates to
that body. The Jewish colonists of
the province of Kherson recently
elected two representatives, Lubarsky
and Weiman, as delegates to the
Zemstvo. • The Crown Rabbi, Kreps,
was deposed from his position in the
colonies. Kreps was at one time crown
Rabbi at Odessa, where he made com-
mon cause with the reactionary gov-
ernment officials, and through that
later received the appointment in the
colonies. The colonists also organ-
ized themselves in a body and decided
to open additional schools; td issue a
newspaper and to engage in other ac-
tivities of a communal nature. They
also agreed to send large food sup-
plies to the army and navy.
The Russian Ministry of Railways
for the first time is engaging a large
number of Jews in the railway serv-
ice. Under the old regime, no Jews
were permitted to serve at the rail-
ways in any capacity.
The goyernment is now working
out a bill providing for the change
of religion on the part of any indi-
vidual. According to this bill, even
Christians will be allowed to become
Jews, a process that was strictly for-
bidden in Russia at all times.
Dr. Rudolph I. Coffee, who has es- nicipalities and state legislatures for
tablished a national reputation as Di- an explanation of the work of the
rector of Social Service of the B'nai commission, one of the most notable
B'rith, has announced his acceptance being a request from the Senate of the
of a unanimous call to fill the pulpit State of New York for an exposition
of the Temple Judea of Chicago, the of the results attained by him and his
first reform Jewish temple organized co-workers. During his residence in
in the populous Lawndale section of Pittsburgh, Dr. Coffee had occasion to ,-

Prior to taking up the social service
work of the B'nai B'rith, Dr. Coffee
had become well known as the rabbi of
the conservative congregation, "Tree
of Life," of Pittsburgh, Pa., whose
pulpit he occupied for twelve years.
He distinguished himself in the pub-
lic service of that city, becoming fa-
mous as the head of the Morals Com-
mission, one of the first attempts of
any municipality to legally recognize
the existence of a problem that had al-
ways defied a solution by the public.
