Austria Stirred Over
Student Sentenced
on Patricide Charge
TRAGIC EVENT IN TYROL MTS.
CAUSE OF TRIAL; INSUFFIC-
IENT EVIDENCE AND JURY
BIAS CHARGED.
Vienna (J. T. A.)--The conviction
by an hmsl)ruck jury of Philip Hals-
man, a Jewish student from Riga,
Tatvia, on the charge of patricide has
stirred public opinion in Austria to an
unprecedented extent.
Philip and his father, Max Ihds-
mann, came, from Riga for an excur-
sion last summer in the Tyrol Mmm-
tains. Max Halsmann found his
death in a ravine. Whether he was
pushed by his son, or fell hy accident,
was the question which the jury had
to decide. After a prolonged trial,
Philip Halsmann was sentenced to
ten years imprisonment at hard labor
on the charge of having killed his
father. The verdict was based prin-
cipally on the story told by a Tyrol
shepherd boy.
Max Halsmann was a dentist and
an owner of real estate in Germany,
Switzcrhmd and in Palestine.
Many members of tim family in-
eluding the accused's mother and
sisters were present at the trial.
Numerous friends of the family from
Riga, Dresden and Zurich came to
hmsbruck. Tim accused persistently
)rotcsted his innocence. Before the
trial ended, hc declared, noticing the
court atmosphere, that he does not
wish to be present when the verdict
would be pronounced. On being led
mlt of court he shouted hysterically:
"Uncles, aunts, do you consider me
guilty? A judicial crime is being
committee against me. It is a shame
to charge a Jewish son with killing
his father."
The verdict has aroused wide at-
tention in the press. The charge is
being made that the jury composed
of Innsbruck professional men, mostly
members of the anti-Semitic Christ-
lichsoziale I)arty, though not pre-
sented with sufficient evidence pro-
ving guilt beyond deal)t, motiwLted
by anti-Semitic bias and by the de-
sire to produce a case of Jev¢ish I)atri-
cide, convicted Philip Halsmann. The

ORTHODOX "GETT"
IN DETROIT COURT
Detroit (J. T. A.)--The old Jew-
ish divorce, or "Gett," procedure,
with all its traditional ceremonies
and symbols, took place in privatc
court before Circuit Judge Theodore
J. Richter, under the guidance of
Rabbi Joseph Thumin of Congrega-
tion Beth Ahraham, this afternoon.
Judge Richter, when petitioned
to divorce Louis Hoffman of 908
Hendrie Street, this city, and his
wife, Anne, refused to issue a court
divorce until the couple had secured
a Jewish divorce. He did this in
order to leave both parties free for
remarriage under the Jewish laws.
An Orthodox rabbi was needed for
the ceremony, and Rabhi Thmnin
was called. Judge Richter gave the
bench over to Rab|)i Thumin, and the
rabbi sat for an hour with the Shul-
chan Aruch, the hook of Jewish law,
before him, and surrounded by his
assistants, L. Cohen the Safer and
the two witnesses, It. Wciscnfcld and

Dinner in His Honor
Amsterdam (J. T. A.)--Holland
was added to the list of countrxes
being visited by Dr. Chaim Weiz-
mann in his effort to enlist the co-
operation or the non-Zionist Jews of
two continents in the extension of the
Jewish Agency for the rebuilding of
Palestine.
A dinner was given last night m
nonor of the President of the World
Zionist Organization, which was at-
tended by prominent personages in-
cluding t'he Dutch Minister of For-
eign A-flairs, Beelacrts van B,okland,
and the Mayor of Amsterdam.
The extension of the Jewish Agency
is opening a new phssc of Jewish his-
tory, Dr. Weizmann stated. This
achievement is hardly less important
than the ot)taining of tim Balfour
Declaration. "We arc now entering
the third phase of the Palestine work,
the first being the securing of the
goodwill of the Britmh Government,
the second, tim( of tim League of
Nations, and third, the goodwill of
all Jews The first were simple in
comparison to the third," he stated.

Peasants in Cities
Blamed fo r Agitation
in Soviet Factories
Minsvk (J. T. A.)--Thc influence of
the peasant element now employed
in Russian cities is responsible for
the anti-Semitic agitation which re-
cently came to the fore in Soviet
operated factories in White Russia.
This is the concensus of opinion of
Jewish and non- Jewish workers
hrought out in an investigation made
by the correspondent of the Jewish
Telegraphic Agency. These newly
urbanized elements, it is stated, are
under the infhmnce of the h:ulaks,
the wealthier peasants who are in op-
position to the recently formulated
pbms of the Soviet government with
regard to agriculture.
Additional anti-Semitic occurren-
.)erred in the workers' paper,
in the leather factory,
Three workers in the
factory recently poured hot lime on a
Jcwisl fellow worker.
In a letter t,o the editor of the 1)aper,
a workman confessed that she used
the term "Zhid" in referring to a
Jewish worker, but that she did not
know it was an insulting term. In
her letter she promises not to repeat
the term.
In Koydanov, hooligans who at-
tacked a local Jewish resident. Sol-

were sentenced to ten months im-

Anti-Jewish discriminations report-
ed in thc Chetchersk sclmol are being
investigated by the school authorities.
In Zembine, district of Borisov,
traders inaugurated an anti-Semitic
campaign under the sh)gan "Kill the
" r"
Jews. Several of the at(taters were
arrested but escaped from l)rison. In
the same town a worker, Simano-
itch, was arrested for inwuting a
meeting of Jewish artisans, breaking
the windows.
The Commmfist party in Mohilev
voted to punish those guilty of anti-
Semitism in the factory Ilitch. A
strict reprimand was gtven the fac-
tory committee for failure to take
mesures against the hooligans.
The trial of ten anti-Semitic hooli-
gans charged with attacking the
Jewish colony, Alckeyevka at Horo-
detz, district of Bobruisk, was opened
here. Among the (tefendants is the
head of the town Soviet in Horodetz
and two policemen ho are charged
with failure to take action in defense
of the Jewish colonists. Fifteen
witnesses were called.
Six hooligans entered the home of a
Jewish blacksmith in Bobruisk during
his absence. They broke the windows
and destroyed t}m furniturc. The
wife of the blacksmith wits beaten
by the invaders.
'Returning while the hooligans were
still in his homo, the blacksmith ef-
fected their arrest.
An investigation of anti-Sclnitic oc-
currences at the university Imihlings
now under construction near Minsk
was concluded. Six persons will 1)e

non-Jews who defended them. The
court classified the offense as a count-

POLISH STUDENTS
ASK PROHIBITION
ABRAHAMATIC RITE
Warsaw (J. T. A.)--An agitation to
bring ahout legislation prohibiting
the performance hy Jews of the Ab-
rahamitic rite, circumcision, has
been started by a group of Polish
students at the medical school of the
University of Warsaw.
The group has submitted memo-
randa to the government and to
social organizations declaring that
Poland, being a fortress of civiliza-
tion between the East and the West
of Europe, cannot tolerate within its
borders the survival of "barbaric
rites." In addition, the memoranda
state, the government ought to be
interested in the abolition of the
Abrahamitic rite because it weakens
Jewish young men, making them
unfit for military service.
NEW YORK FEDERATION
REACHES $5,000,000 MARK
New York (J. T. A.)--For the first
time since it was founded in 1917, the
New York Federation for the Support
of Jewish Philanthropic Societites
passed the $5,000,000 mark in con-
tributions pledged for maintenance
of its 91 constituent institutions,
Dudley D. Sicher, chairman of the
business men's council of the Federa-

While the amount received in pled-
ges has reached a new high figure, the
Federation still faces a deficit of al-
most $300,000 which must be met
hcfore the end of the year, Mr. Sicher
said. Efforts are being made by
solicitation among the 134industrial
and professional groups, as only a
