JEWISH HOME FINDS
A TREASURE TROVE

- — -
Chandeliers of 22 - Karat Gold
Found in an Old House
Bought in Brooklyn.

NEW YORE.—When the Jewish
Home for the Aged and Infirm, now
located at 107 West Fourth street,
in Mount Vernon, raised $300,000 for
a new plant and decided to build in
Brooklyn it made a better selection
for its purposes than Bernard Car-
tier'', chairman of the Building Com-
mittee, or any of its oflicers really
knew.
Recently workmen began to alter
(or the purpose the old Pope mansion
at 869-871 Bushwick avenue, Brook-
about two blocks from the home
of Mayor Hylan, which the home had
acquired. The place had been closed
ence George Pope, its owner, died
it few years ago. Pope was 4o ec-
centric bachelor who, after a child-
hood of some financial stringency, in-
herited a large fortune from John
Pope, a brother, who had made a
fortune in the tobacco business in
Virginia.

guests were invited to the home and
little was known about in except that
in 1909, a sister, Mrs. Kunigunda
Mullin, brought suit against him to
recover $32,000 in securities. Among
her allegations were that the house
contained more than $750,000 worth
of brica brat-a-brat and art objects
and that her brother was forcing her
to live on a scale which went ill with
the income from $140,000, which she
inherited at the same time that
George became John Pope's chief
heir.
One of the most astonishing dis-
coveries made by the workmen in
altering the structure, it was said re-
cently were that many chandelliers
in the great house were of 22-karat
gold. Others, which are fashioned
of less costly metal, which are intri-
cately wrought in designs of heavy
Japanese btass. Window panes are of
an excellent quality of glass, and on
each one is engraved the monogram
of the man who occupied the place.
A small door to what looked like a
closet off the dining room was open-
ed, revealing a massive, impregnable
vault, in which, no doubt, the owner
once locked the costly art works of
which the house was stripped after
his death.
One of the cheering discoveries
from the point of view of the institu-
tion which hopes to put its charges
in new surroundings about March 1,
was a fine pipe organ, worth abottt
$10,000. It is of the old hydraulic
type, but readily can he converted
into a modern instrument for the en-
tertainment of the inmates.
Elaborate mural and ceiling decora-
tions have been discovered in many
of the rooms and these are being
carefully preserved as they will add to
tile attractiveness of the home.
In front of the house is a lawn
which a landscape gardener had made
attractive with diminutive Japanese
trees, while in the rear is a terraced
marble pool in which are said to be
rare specimens of fishes.
Dr. Pierre A. Siegelstein is Presi-
dent of the home, Abraham L, Kal-
man, Vice-President, and Dr. Joseph
E. Craunstein, Secretary.

genthau said.
"It appears to be time that the peo-
ple of America are made to under-
stand just how much depends on the
attitude of the allied nations and their
dealings with the peoples which sur-
round the Armenians. At the present
moment this problem is entirely de-
pended on the general wishes of the
allied nations coinciding with their
exercising their influence with the
Turkish Nationalists and the Reds of
Russia. Up to the present they have
recognized neither and until they do
there is no one with whom there can
be diplomatic intercourse. Should
England, France or Italy decide to
recognize the Soviets they easily
could make the saving of the Ar-
menian nation a condition and unless
they find some means or cleating with
these representatives now outside the
diplomatic pale the best efforts known
toward saving Armenia are likely to
fail."

ATLANTIC crrv, N. J.—"The
fate of the Artnenian people, in whom
(Ile people of America are interested,
regardless of party. with the deepest
sympathy ever known between peo-
ples, depends entirely upon the moral
and diplomatic support of the allied
nations of Europe," said Henry Mor-
meridian, former Ambassador to Tur-
key. here last week.
"So deeply is the question of sav-
ing the Armenian people from virtual
extinction interwoven with the general
European policies to be adopted that
the best efforts of America can only
rest for its results on Great Britain,
France, Italy and Greece in the atti-
tude to be taken by them toward the
present rulers of the Russian people
and of the subsequently dominant
forces of Turkish Nationalists.
"This, I believe, is exactly what
President Wilson meant when he dis-
tinctly stated that his acceptance of
the task of mediation between the Ar-
menians and their enemies rested up-
on the moral and diplomatic support
of the nations which represented the
victors in Europe today. For success
to follow America's great effort to
save the Armenians we must depend
in the final analysis upon the success
of the allied nations in discovering

MISSION IN PARIS

PARIS—The Allied Commission
which has been investigating the dis-
pute between Finland and Sweden
over ownership of the Aland Islands,
in the Baltic, has returned from its
visits to Sweden and Finland and will
resume its hearings in Paris this week.
lijalmar Branting, former Swedish
Premier; Baron Palmstierma, Swedish
Minister at London; Count Ehrens-
card, Swedish Minister at Paris, and
C. J. A. Enckell, Finnish Minister at
Paris, will be heard Monday.
Judge Abram I. Elkus, the Ameri-
can member of the commission, said
the commission had gone into the dis-
pute exhaustively in both Finland and
Sweden and that it hoped soon to an-
nounce its findings. Nothing has de-
veloped to far to foreshadow in any
way what judgment the commission
is likely to render.

GREAT JEWISH DEBATE
POLAND COURT-MARTIALS
IN POLISH DIET GENERAL BALAKHOWITCH

WARSAW—During the Jewish de-
bate in the Polish Diet, already re-
ported by your correspondent, the
anti-Semitic priest, Lutoslaysky, made
an address against Jews which was
received by the Polish audience with
great enthusiasm.

From a stenographic report just
published the following details arc
given:

Lutoslaysky quoted an anti-Semitic
pamphlet entitled "Jewish Danger,"
and declared that the Jews intended
to govern the whole world and con-
trol all governments. "The Polish
nation which knows it," he said, "must
he ready to meet the danger. Jews
are politically well organized and
wage a continuous battle against the
Poles. Our government must be very
cautious in its clauses in the Con-
stitution dealing with Jews because
there can be no doubt that Jews will
misuse it against the interests of the
Polish state. Jews are a separate na-
tion, even though they possess no ter-
ritory of their own, and all attempts
to assimilate them have remained
fruitless. Should Jews be recognized
as a minority nation, they will de-
mand a share in the government,
which will bring grave danger to Po-
lish liberty and government,"

Lutoslaysky's arguments were an-
swered by the Jewish leader, Dr.
Thon. The latter pointed out how
groundless any fear of Jews is, and
that Jews have no designs against
Polish territory. Jews only demand
cultural and economic liberty. Dr.
Thon further urged the creation of a
separate ministry of Jewish affairs, as
in Lithuania.

DANZIG—The Polish government
has decided to court-martial General
lialakhowitch and will in the mean-
time confine him in the fortress of
140.1, according to a Warsaw dispatch
just received. The Polish authorities
are taking this step as a result of the
pogroms committed by his soldiers
shocking details of which are still be-
ing reported, and the government ap-
parently being satisfied of his respon-
sibility in the matter. The latest re-
ports bring the following details of
new pogroms committed by the fol-
lowers of Balakhowitch. In Lutschza
Joseph Smiler was hung and his body
then cut into a number of pieces. In
the village Luk, Schloime Poiler, an
old man of 82, and Fishel Rosen, 65,
were murderously beaten up and then
tied to the tails of horses and dragged
for miles. Later on both were shot
dead. This village was robbed of
everything that was Jewish, including
a number of herds of cattle. In the
village Dubitchna Freide Fuchs,
Shmerle Katniner, 80 years old;
Isfoishe Jacob Kramck, 75 years,
Esther Deborah and Samuel Fuchs,
Abraham Samuel and Ettal Kooper-
man, Chaim Wolf, Leib Rid, Jonah
Fuchs, Manes Dieber, Abraham Good-
man, Zvie Cahan, Gershen Rosenberg
and two others whose names are not
clear, were murdered outright.

mons today, that he and Clemenceau
