80 The International jew

Jews of the shadier type organized an association called The Max

Hochstim Association, which was known as the "Essex Market Court

Gang." One of its chief Iea.ders was Martin Engel, Tammany leader of

the Eighth District. The "king" of this Jewish district was a man named

Solomon who had changed his name to the less revealing one of

"Smith," and who became k,nown as "Silver Dollar Smith," because of

the fact that he ruled his li~e empire from the Silver Dollar Saloon. This

saloon was thus opposite the Essex Market Court, which was thronged

daily by hordes of Yiddish criminals, the bondsmen, the false witnesses

and lawyers. The Max Hochstim Association became the first. organized

that lowest form of depravity-a coolly conducted, commercialized,

consolidated traffic in women. The traffic was made to yield dividends

to politiCians, to Tantmany Jews in particular; it was during the official

investigation that the Max Hochstim Association became ~own as the

"Essex Market Court Gang., Out of the old police court in the "red

light" Essex Market district, New York, comes a word which has fixed

itself in coiilmon English speech. A lawyer named Scheuster, whose .

practices .were quite characteristic, made himself very obnoxious to

Justice Osborne. Whenev.er another Yiddish lawyer attempted a shady

trick th~ judge would ~perlly denou~ce it as "Scheuster practice," and so'

it came that the first men in the professi~n to bear the name of .;shyster"

were the Yiddish lawyers of Essex Market Court, New York. .

JEWS AND THE WHITE SLAVE SCANDAL

I t is a surprising fact that, alth~ugh these matters are written in offi~ial

documents, and although the same matters have been written into the

record of every similar investigation which has been m ·~de, Je~lsh

leaders persist in denying that the ieaders in this partiCular form of ·

depravity are Jews. When the United States Government made anation-

wide investigation; it found and recorded the same facts. Th~ New York

Kehillah came into existence as a defense organization at atime when the

exposure of the Jewish White Slave Traffic threatened to overwhelm the

New York ghetto.

The exposure, which resuited when the white people of New York

finally succeeded in getting the forces of the law to function impartially

for a little while, caused many of the implicated Jews to change their

names. These names are now representative of some of the best Jewish

families, whose concealed fact is far sinister that the foundation of the

family fortune was laid in the red light districts. The Max Hochstim

Association was not the only organization of its kind to be unearthed.

Another was the New York Independent Benevolent Association, which

was organized in 1896 by a party of Jewish white slave dealers. Gangs

like these formed the backbone of Tammany power in the slum districts;

their principal field of operations was the cheap dance halls, their cover

the 'benevolent associations' in the East Side, all run by Jewish leaders,

chiefly Russian and Galician Jews, as tl_le official report exposes. They

were slavers as their forbears were in the days of Rome's decline; they

were bootleggers before the days of prohibition; and they constituted a

strong support of the international narcotic ring which to this day has

defied the law by corrupting the officers of the law.

In the decade before the first world war, in seizing control and

exploiting New York, the Jews made one of their cyclically recurring

mistakes; they carried things too far with too high a hand. They survived

the exposure, however, and retained .their power. It is this Jewish

tendency to boast and overdo that has always given the game away.

Superficial observers and writers have noted the recurrent protests against

Jewish presumption and bumptiousness and have explained them as being

recurrent spasms of a vile poison which is supposed to reside in the blood

of the Gentile-the vile poison of anti-Semitism. That is, of course, the

conventional Jewish propaganda explanation, and many Gentile clergy,

writers and politicians innocently retail it; many otl1er Gentile worshipers

of Jewish money cynically connive at the treachery. It always breaks out

after wars, say some of these writers. Why afterwards? Because in wars

the world sees more clearly than at other times the real purpose and

personality of the Jew. Thus, it is not anti-Semitism that breaks out-it

is Judaism, gross and exaggerated Semitism; and the serum that forms in

the social body to encyst and control the germ of Judaism comes in the

form of public exposure and protest. That serum is working now-the

serum of publicity; and the Jewish program cannot endure it.

Study the history of all things whatsoever into which the Jews inject

themselves, from summer resorts to empires, and you see the same cycle
