PARIS, Dec. 13. —The usually quiet
and aristocratic Rue de Miromesnll
was recently the scene of a com ,
demonstration organised by the f*
brain of the indefatigable M. C iu.
who bids fair to become an hist
figure of 1912. Toward 9 o’clock a
band of musicians consisting of fif
teen trumpets, ten drums and twelve
clarinets took up their quarters in a
fine apartment costing 91.26 ft a year
rent tenanted by Dr. Ruelle, a sur
geon, formerly in government service
as house surgeon of th# hospital of
3t. Lazare. After preliminary flour
ishes the band began to play with
open windows, and a crowd of several
hundred people.soon assembled In the
street. . - « ... • ......
The police were quickly on the spot,
but th* musicians refused to stop
playing and the concierge in desnera
tlon barricaded herself in her lodge.
Finally the authorities succeeded in
forcing their way in, and th« band
master explafflpfl, *96* file Afnus»--
nmt of the onlookers, that he and
his men belonged to the "Fanfare du
Raffut de St. Polyearpe,”. presided over
by M. Cochon. . . -
Order of ‘‘Cloche de Bols.”
At the present moment their re
spected president was with Dr. Ruelle,
having come to confer upon him the
order of the “Cloche de Bols,” which
U the French term for a flitting with
out paying rent. Dr. Ruelle declared
for years he bad suffered martyrdom
at the hands of the concierge, and had
tried every m&khS,' legal and persua
sive, to obtain satisfaction —In vain.
Consequently he had sent a circular to
his clients sa.Ylng that he would give
-anybody a free consultation.
Furthermore, he issued invitations
to the students of all the schools round
to come and have a champagne lunch
eon with him, Including M. Cochon,
president of the Syndicate of Suffering
Tenants, as well as of St. Polvcarpe's
Fanfare.
So numeroua. were th* response a
that the staircases were thronged all
day, and the other residents ronW
neither go out nor come in. 2d
Cochon had been struck with the hap
py thought of bringing his band with
him but the Irate concierge had re
fused admittance. The players, how
ever, were gyihAasfs, and wifh'the aid
of knotted sheets let down from the
balcony soon penetrated the strong
hold, whilst the crowd, blocked up the
furious concierge.
At noon th« band went out for luncb
eon, and M. Cochon was taken to the
police station accompanied by a cheer
ing escort. After replying to a few
questions -he was let out and at 2
o’clock the music struck up again. All
that the police could do was to stop
th* traffic and establish cordons at
both ends of the Rue Miromesnll,
which prevented even Dr. Ruelle’s
friends from enjoying the - artistic
matinee provided for them.
Whole Band Arretted.
At 5 o’clock a last triumphal march
was'executed, and the band of St
Polyearpe went out —by the staircase
this time, in the street they were col
lared and taken off to the Madeleine
police station, where, however, they
were only kept for a few minutes.
Dr. Ruelle explains that the exer
cise of his profession had been rend-!
ered almost impossible by the vexa
tions of the concierge, and finally in
despair he had been advised to have|
recourse to M. Cochon. He was de- J
lighted at the result, and declared his ;
intention of continuing to give his
musical entertainments until he ob
tain satisfactiol. As he has still a
six ysars’ lease to run there seems to
be fun in store for the Rue Mlromes- 1
nil.
If Ms case and action can bring
about some alleviation in the lot of;
tenants who are perpetual victims of
houseowners and concierges in Paris j
Dr. Ruelle and his ally, M. Cochon, j
will desene a statue in th» Avenue ;
Vill!ers As the ordinary lease now i
stands, no tenant can either compel
his landlord to remove a concierge,
who has all the tenants at his or her
mercy, or break the lease escept by
paying full rent up to the expiration
of a three years’ period.

JEWISH LEADERS WANT SALONIKA LOR HEBREW HEPI BI.H.
AND AMERICAN IS SI’OCESTED FOR ITS FIRST PRESIDENT |
By MAURICE WEIDENTHAL,
Editor of the Jewish Independent
A Jewish republic.—That »eetus to
be the very latest ia world diplomacy.
I. ZANGWILL. great Jewish nov
elist, immediately elaborated upon the
plan, and the I»ndon Time* at once
fell in with the ideu. Today It is the
talk not only of London, but of the
ntire civilized world where Jew«
well.
The suggestion made by the novel
ist is tbai the city and surroundings
should be established as a Jewish re
public. with an American Jew as first
president.
At the birth of Zionism. Zangwill
was an enthusiastic Zionist. Later he
seceded and started the TerrltoriaUst
movement, of which he lias been the
head ever since. He has many fol
lowers. This organization, called Ito
for short, believes that the Jews
should seek another part of the world
rather than Palestine in which to es
tablish a Jewish nation.
It is generally believed that the
next step will be the announcement
by the Ito that at last the spot for the
Jewish republic has been found in
Salonika. And why not? Some or
the Jewish people argue. The carv
ing of Turkey after the war is over
will be conducted on racial lines. Why
should not the Jews claim the right
of self-government of the greatest
Jewish city in the world? For Sa
loniki is the only large city in the
world in which the Jews are in the
vast majority, consisting of almost
75 per cent of the total population of
about 140,000.
Zangwill suggests that President
elect Woodrow Wilson should nomi
nate the first president of this Jewish
republic, and he believes Oscar 8.
Straus, recently Bull Moose candi
date for governor of New York, would
be the ideal man for the place, hav
ing been United States ambassador to
Turkey twice and understanding the
people, their ideals, traditions and
customs.
Salonikl, Zangwill says, should be
prepared to saddle herself with a
share of the Turkish debt. Modern
improvements should be begun imme
diately. "Thus,’’ says he. all the
races in Macedonia would benefit,
while all the Jews throughout the
worid would have their dignity en
hanced by this rise tn the Jewish
status.
‘ln return for a loan from the lead
ing Jews of the world to help rehab
ilitate the country, the allies should
guarantee the independence of Ba
loniki and its peninsula.’’
The commercial importance of mod
em Salonikl is due to Jewish enter
prise. All the leading professional
men of the city, such as doctors, law
yers. teachers and journalists, are
jews.
Outside of Palestine. Salonikl is the
