MANY SPEECHES MADE.
President Freed presided at the mass
meeting and responded to Mayor Wool-
drldge's address of cordial welcome. The
brief address by the Governor followed,
and then the many interesting phases of
the great movement that lately enlisted
a rapidly increasing percentage ot* tli-3
Jewish race the world over was dis-
cussed by members and others who have
been actively and practically interested
in the work of the association and of the
cause at large. Among these were Dr.
\V. \\ illner of Houston, Charles Blumen-
thal, Fort Worth; George M. Mayer, San
Antonio, and Dr. N. Mosessohn, Port-
land, Ore.
Probably as interesting a line as any
1 followed in the several addresses was
the emphasis placed 'on the tangible Im-
provement and progress of the past
decade in the parent land, Jerusalem,
agriculturally, commercially, the spread-
ing of railroad development and the bet-
terment of general domestic and civis
conditions—this all in spite of the ob-
stacles put in the way of agricultural
colonization by the authorities; who are
not friendly to land purchased by for-
eign settlers. It was shown, too, that
the Jewish Colonization Association, ad-
ministering the great fortune of the
Baron de Hirsch, has not been encour-
aged to increase its holdings in Pales-
tine. Loyalty to the cause, however,
and faith in the ability of the Jewish
colonists to eouvince the Young Turks
that their coming in no wise will evolve
a national problem, but they will give
allegiance to "the sovereignty, lent an
optimistic tone to the review of condi-
tions and .prophecy of the speedy suc-
cess of Zionism. Especially was it noted
that colonization by other creeds and
nationalities is dwindling in Palestine,
while there is a strong annual increase
of Jewish immigration.
TheVe was quoted an article from the
London Economist, reprinted in the Mac-
cabean of January la.st, wfiich, after re-
viewing the course of economic and so-
cial progress in Jerusalem, predicted
that with the Increase in Jewish immi-
gration, "if the old inhabitants are en-
couraged to develop their enterprise,
they may not only restore its ancient
fruitfulness, but make it a great high-
way of European and Asiatic com-
merce."
The musical numbers of the evening
were by Charles M. Lee, San Antonio,
vocal solo; Arthur Saft, Miss Margaret
Saft, Austin, violin solos, and piano se-
lections by the Misses Jennie Tobias,
Dallas, and Beatrice Burg, San Antonio.
The convention opened this morning
with prayer and welcome spoken by !>.
A. Goodstein of Austin, to which Dr.
B. J. French of Waco responded. Presi-
dent. L. A. Freed of San Antonio brought
a message of vital interest to Texas
Zionists and the morning session con-
cluded with appointment of the usda!
committees and roll call. In the after-
noon the credentials committee reported
and the statements of the secretary, .Miss
Lydla Littman. Austin, and of the tro-is-
uretvDr. 13. J. French, Waco, were rea l.
There followed several reports of special
and standing committees and the first
surveys of Zionistie progress by members
from the body of the convention. Dr.
S. Burg of San Antonio and Sam "L.
Burstyn of Austin, who are among the
leaders in the work in these communi-
ties. being the principal speakers. Ad-
journment was taken to the night ses-
sion. which was the mass meeting.
The sessions will close tomorrow. In
the morninar there will be prayer, in
Hebrew; Miss Esther Ast, Houston, will
rend an essay on the cause; J. Label.
Terrell, will report for the executive
committee: Charles Blumenthal. Fort
Worth, for the propaganda committee;

Palestine T^and Company, and I)r. H. B.
Lieberraan. Houston, for the Hebrew
schools. There will be an address by Z)r.
S. S. Cohen, St. Louis.
The closing (afternoon) meettner will
be devoted to reports of the convention
committees and the societies, election of
officers awl selection of place for the
1912 convention. At. night the delegates
will be received by Austin Zionists. The
Hatikvoh ceremony will bo a part < f
the sessions. A kosher restaurant I? con-
ducted by the association for the dele-
gates under the direction of the Rev.

In his message I resident Freed as-
serted the promulgation of a constitution
has aroused Turkey and large coloniza-
tion of Jews has followed the opening
of the country to civilization. In thirty
Jewish colonics activity has been en« our-
pkH and tho number of workers is gain

Zionists in many nations to form now
colonics In Palestine and emphasized tho
fact that the last Zionist congress n
Basle, Switzerland, announced its pur-
pose was not at this time to contend
for a charter In Palestine. Political
changes In Turkey do not favor this
move at present, and the big organiza-
tion Foeks to encourage practical devel-
opment In Increased colonization. Edu-
cational advance was especially urged.
The president noted that some of the
most Influential Jews In America now
arc supporting the Zionist movement who
at first would not co-operate, and he
*poke of the projected colony bv Texa«
and St. Louis Jews. He urged the need
of .heartv aid and intelligent spread'of
tho principles underlying the movement
and expressed assurance of its ultimate
triumph.

AUSTIN, Tex., Dec. 31.-—There will be
an important conference of the Kuilrouu
Commission Tuesday to consider the con-
tinued and extreme lateness of passenger
trains on certain Texas railroads; also
the refusal of tho conductor of a South-
ern Pacific train to admit passengers to
his belated train. It Hiay result in call-
ing the general managers of the lines to
Austin and having a distinct under-
standing with them; otherwise, drastic
action is almost certain to follow. How-
ever, it is known that the commission is
irritated over the failure of trie Attorney
General's Department to try suits al-
ready filed and to bring suits for which
the commission has supplied data and
asked for action. It has been months
,sinco a commission cas«- was tried in any
of the courts here. Tim Attorney <;» n-
eral's Department has several communi-
cations from the commission asking tluit
suits for penalties be filed, but then;
have been f»»w responses. The .commis-
sion is seeking to enforce its orders by
other means. A conference of general
managers has been suggested.
Chairman Mayfield returned today
from liuipection and he encountered some
of the "rain service complained of. His
train out of Austin was seven hours
late. The worst Oi all was his ex.peri- |
once coming from Uvalde on the Soutn-
ern Pacific. The train due at that place
at ♦iioO o'clock in tho morning reached
there nine hours and forty-five minutes
late, he said, and then the conductor
would not admit passengers. A commit
tee of passengers lias signed a protest
saying fifty persons waited there all day
and were then denied admission to the
train, nearly ten hours late. The same
thing occurred at Spofford Junction, and
It is said Chairman Mayfield was on the
train and witnessed it. The train follow-
ing, due at ITvalde about 5 o'clock, was
four hours late; hence, the passengers
waited from 6:30 o'clock in tho morning
until nearly 9 o'clock at night before
they were permitted to board a train.
This Incident will have the commission's
attention. Tf it is a practice, there will
be immediate action on its part.
Division Superintendent H. F. Ander-
son of the. Galveston, Harrisburg & San
Antonio Railway said last night he htod
investigated the complaints of trains on
his line running by passengers at Uvalde
and other points. "But," he quickly
added, "I have nothing' whatever to say
on the subject. If the Railroad Commis-
sion is going to call a hearing on tne
matter all the details will be brought
out then."
Mr. Anderson did not care to talk of
tlie late trains on the Sunset lines, cither.
It has been current talk with the travel-
ing public for months that something
should be done by tho members of the
Railroad Commission to insure better
passenger service, and surprise is ex-
pressed that no hearing was ordered
sooner. Traveling men last night de-
clared they were very glad Chairman
Mayfield of the commission had been a
passenger on one of the trains they have
been complaining of many weeks.
