After clerking a fev,r years in small town stores in Ohio, lie came to this city in 1871, just after the great fire and. found a position in a law ofiicc.

CINCINNATI, D,-A tribute to the late Adolf Kraus, for twenty years presi¬ dent of the Independent Order B'nai B'rith, was paid by Alfred M. Cohen, president of the Order, in a statement issHe<l to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency.
"Adolf Kraus, for twenty years presi¬ dent of the Independent Order B'nai B'rith, was a remarkable man. He came to the United States as a lad without means, without family prestige and with¬ out a great deal of schooling. From humblest employment he passed into mer¬ cantile life, all tlte while preparing him¬ self to ultimately enter the legal profes¬ sion.
"His progress as a lawyer, in one of the largest cities in the United State.*), was phenomenal. He became a foremast leader of the Chicago bar, with an ex¬ ceptionally lucrative practice.
"At an enormous monetary sacrifice he responded to a call on him to become Corporation Counsel of his city. For many years he was president of the Board of Education in Chicago. In other capa¬ cities he served hia adopted country and city,, always honorably and ably. One starts to think how much Chicago would have lost if through restricted immigra¬ tion, Adolf Kraus had been denied ad- missipnto tbe United .States.
"His service during twenty years in¬ cumbency as president of the B'nai B'rith was of incalculable benefit to Jewry the world over," Mr. Cohen continued. "He brought to the office a keen and ripened intellect, boundless love for his fellow men and broad sj^mpathy for the op¬ pressed among his people.
"He yielded his personal comfort that he might serve. Long the victim of a ' consuming illness, he carried on in spite of it and maintained to the very end un¬ flagging interest in the welfare of his coreligionists wlierever they might be. ' "A great and good man has gone to his reward. God touched his eyelids atid he went to sleep.   God's will be done."
Prominent   Dayton   Lawyer
Endorses Candidacy of
Judge Ferneding
Sidney Kusworm Declares That
Jurist Is Capable,  Fair-
Mindcd and EfTicient
The Ohio Jewish Chronicle has received thc following letter from Attorney Sid¬ ney  Kusworm of  Dayton  in which he comes out in favor of Judge Ferneding and  expresses  his  high regard  for his character, ability and fairmindedncss. Ohio Jewish Chronicle, Schultz Building, Columbus, Ohio. Gentlemen:
Election day is not far oif ahd it is for that reason Ihat I am writing to you in bclialf of, Judge H. L, Ferneding, candidate for re-election for Judge of thc Court of Appeals. Judge Ferneding is and has been for many years a very close per.soiial friend of mine and through all of hh years ou the bench he has been eminently fair and just. Personally, Judge Ferneding is a splendid, likeable man, and through years of service on the bench he is now better fitted than ever to serve the people.
There arc eleven counties in the dis-. trict, having a population of approxi¬ mately a million people, with three Judges, who preside together. A Judge of this court is elected every two years and .serves for six years. This court is of very great importance to the peo¬ ple, as it is the court of last resort, in most cases. Judge Allrcad resides in Columbus, and is a Republican, Judge Kunkle lives in Springfield and is a Re¬ publican and Judge Ferneding, who lives in Dayton, is a Democrat. It is'Judge Fernedlng's term that expires this year. Judge Fcrncding's opponent is a Repub¬ lican, so that if his opponent is elected thc Court of Appcais wilt consist of three Republican judges.
If Judge Fcrncding's opponent is elect¬ ed, the Eastern end of thc District will have all three judges and thc western end of the district, where live five hun¬ dred thousand people, would be without representation. A member of this court should be conveniently accessible to every lawyer and litigant in the district.
Judge Ferneding is well and favorably known all over the district. Of course we, in Dayton, know him intimately. Among his Columbus friends are such wefl-known and highly respected men as Pop Schonthal, Henry Gumblc, E. J. Schanfarbcr and others.
I sincerely and heartily beseech thc sup¬ port of thc readers of the Chronicle in behalf of this fair, fearless, brilliant, and courteous judge.
Sincerely, SIDNEY G. KUSWORM.

Mr. B. S. Goldman, 2545 Sherwood Road, is in New York City.
In spite of the fact that Galli-Gurci was singing next door to a packed house .tuning which were hundreds of Jewish folk, thc niceling in honor of Rabbi N.ithan Krass, Temple Emanuel, New York City, held at the Elk's Home, Wednesday evening, October 24th, pro\cd to bu a .success hi every respect. Peo¬ ple who attended not only enjoyed the entire program, but also left with a con- viaion that thc expansion plans of the Ilermiuc Schonthal Center merited their moral and financial support.
In his thought-provoking address on "What's Wrong With Thc Ten' Com- mandmcnls?", Dr. Krass presented a splendid exposition of their significance to the world in thc past and their chal¬ lenge lo people of modern times.
"These great fundamentals," he point¬ ed out, "should continue to remain the chart of life for our people. As in thc past, so in the future they will be found to be reliable guide-posts. No real suc¬ cess in life can be obtained without strict adherence to these principles. They were meant for all peoples for all times."
During thc course of his address. Rab¬ bi Krass paid tribute to the career of Joseph Schonthal and bespoke success for all his future undertakings.
The chairman of the meeting was Rab¬ bi Jacob Tarshish who made clear to all present the new plans of the Hermine Schonthal Center, explaining in detail its forthcoming cultural activities including lectures, concerts, book reviews, ' and classics. He also touched upon the broad social program which will be carried out and asserted that "this expansion pro¬ gram has been endorsed by thc leaders of this community who realize that now is thc propitious time for its inaugura¬ tion,"
In introducing Dr. Krass, Rabbi Tar¬ shish declared that the community was very fortunate in securing his services for the evening, inasmuch as he ranks aniong the outstanding Jewish public men of the United States, and is a speaker of force and rare int,clligcncc. "Rabbi Krass," he concluded, "is one of the most active men in the American Rabbinate. He has been identified with every move¬ ment for the advancement of Judaisni aud the welfare of the Jew." , It is interesting to note that every cle¬ ment in the community was represented at Ihe meeting. One of thc features of the program were thc vocal solos of Cecil Fanning, well known local baritone.
