MORGENTHAU GUEST OF JEWISH GROUP Democratic Government Held Necessary for Protection of Minorities. BT toe Associated Presa. BALTIMORE, December 21.—Henry Morgenthau, jr.. Secretary of the Treasury, told a joint meeting of the brotherhood* cf 16 Baltimore syna gogues last night that only under a Democratic system of government can the welfare and liberties of minority groups be preserved. Secretary Morgenthau spoke after being the guest pf the brotherhoods at a dinner. He urged his listeners to "shake themselves from their placid acceptance" and awaken to the fact that democracy, under “violent and persistent” attack, is in danger. He set forth that the American Government in recent years “has moved forward in the effort to guar antee economic security to its citi zens” and that it met its recent trial of "fire and starvation not by re stricting liberty but by enlarging It.” It therefore deserves the support of Americans, he said. The Secretary called upon Ameri can Jews to be loyal to America and said Jews "serve America best not by abandoning our Jewish tradition, but by maintaining it" as the Jewish contribution to the melting pot of the Nation.

ROCK ISLAND, HI., December 21.— Shep died Saturday at St. Anthony’s Hospital where attaches said he waited nearly 13 years lor Francis McMahon to come back down the elevator. Shep was just a Scotch collie pup' when he followed his master, suf fering a fractured skull, to the hos pital in 1924. At the elevator, hospital sisters said, McMahon reached down from his stretcher and said: “Good-by Shep, wait here.” The dog, they recalled, crouched near the elevator door and fought off attempts to put him out. The next day McMahon died and hos pital attendants carried his body from the hospital through a rear entrance. At first, sisters and nurses said, Shep refused to eat and met every effort to get him to leave the ele vator door with bared fangs. Finally he made friends, but throughout the years he remained near the elevator door most of the time. Saturday, Shep, getting stiff with age and going blind, wandered out Into the street. An automobile struck him. A hospital orderly carried him back into the hospital, but he died. soon after. England now has about 350,000 stenographers.
