THE GRAND JURY
Another neeting to Be Held Tomorrow-The
Behrendt Case

Another neeting to Be Held Tomorrow-The
Behrendt Case
The grand jury will meet again Tuesday
morning, when another effort will be made
to have all the facts connected with the
Behrendt case investigated. There has
been something of a disposition to quash
this matter, as it was thought by some to
have been a Bit of political buncombe, but
this idea has been pretty well dispelled,
and it is now conceded that there is some
thing in the case that entities it to invests
cation.
II has been said that there is nothing in
the law to warrant the grand jury taking
the matter up, as no one was approached
who could be of any service in "squaring"
the case. While this may be technically
true. the grand jury has the right to go
into the matter in the interests of the pub
lie, and even if no indictment is returned,
The moral effect of such an investigation
would be of great value, more, in fact,
than any one thing that could happen.
There is much ak and cri icism, in gen.
eral terms, and it will be good thing to
have the stories given under oath to deter
mine just how much truth there is in them.
The Behrendt case has been set forth at
length in the columns of THE HERALD.
The names of those in a position TO give
testimony have been given. and if they can
be brought before the grand jury it will
prove very salutary lesson.

An UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPT
Opposition to PreSt. Hale Could
Not be CrystaIized
HE WILL BE REELECTED
Secretary Dandy VIII Also Succeed
Himself
Board Of Education Will Tonight Choose a
Presiding Officer and cier'S-To Be
Shifting OF Com nittees

The board of education will. at it's regu-
lar meeting tonight, elect a president and
secretary. The city charter provides that
this must be done at the first board meet
ing of the new year, and stipulates also that
no other business can be transacted.
Both President Hale and Secretary G. P.
Dandy will this evening be reelected.
There was never any doubt about the lat
ter succeeding himself, as he has never
had even the remotest opposition, but with
Hale it has been somewhat different.
The majority of the board, consisting of
Directors Garland and Fulton and DR..
Wills, have been fishing a bit in an effort
to elect new presiding officer in place of
Hale, but the majority has, it appears,
fought very s y of the proposition. Direc-
tors Kennedy. Simonton and Pitman have
each been approached to permit the use of
their names, and all of them have fought
shy of the proposed honor, pretending to
believe that the scheme was to divide the
strength of the solid six throughout the
whole OF the new year. OF the three men
mentioned Kennedy could most easily have
been elected as President Hale's opponent,
as Director Grubb would have voted for
him and so would Pre.iden Hale, as he
would not have dared 10 cast his own bal
lot for himself. This strength, with the
three minority votes, would have given to
the opposi ion just the five votes needed to
land their candidate While most of the
members of the majority acknowledge that
Director Hale is not possessed of the
knowledge of Thomas Bracket Reed or
Charles f. Crisp, they say that he
is just beginning to master the intricacies
of parliamentary procedure, and that he
will be thoroughly equipped to preside at
the boards meetings during the present
year. With the exceptions noted, Director
ing never unfair, and recognizing at all
times the right of the minority to have the
floor upon the slightest provocation and
sometimes when there is really no provo
ca ion at all.
President Hale has the right, as soon as
he is reelected, to recast in their entirety,
the committees of the board, if he sees fit.
This will no , however, for several rea-
SONS be done, although there is to ne some
Sigh shifting of members vino claim thar
they are at present overworked. Directors
Simouton and Grllbb are the earliest COM
plainants in this particular, and both of
them are to be taken from some of the
committees of which they are at present
members.
The majority in the board charges the
minority with wanting a change in the
pres ding officer of the board so that DR..
Wills can he placed at the head of the
Teachers committee, where it is claimed
he is anxious TO vent personal feeling
ag inst some of the present teachers.
This statement DR.. Wills denies very ve-
hemently and the story is probably an in
yention.

EXCITING BALLOON ASCENSION

The Aeronaut Carried rwo Miles by the
Wind
The balloon ascension at Echo Park yes
terday afternoon was witnessed by large
crowd, and while the promised parachute
drop was not made. the accident which
prevented it was sufficiently exciting to
interest the spectators. Professor f. P.
Hagal, the aeronaut, got his large balloon
we'll inflated, and started upward on his
dizzy journey without mishap. When he
had assembled to a height of nearly third
of a mile he attempted to cut the rope
which bound the parachute to the balloon,
but the knife for some reason would not
sever the cord, and he was carried upward
for long distance, and swept northward
by the wind distance OF two miles from
the starting point. The crowd gazed at
him in wonder, but could not surmise
why he did not make the parachute
drop. Finally it dawned upon some that
the professor was fastened to the great
balloon in such way that he could not
free himself and was therefore at the mercy
of the wind. Those who had seen the
thrilling experience of the young woman,

eyes closed and he fell backwards into the

THE MURDER YET A MYSTERY
Remains Identified as Those of Pete
DeviIIe
He Was Talking With an Unknown nan In
His Kitchen In the Evening -Strang-
ers Seen About the Place

A coroner's inquest was held at Kregelo
& Bresse's undertaking rooms yesterday
morning on the remains of Pete Deville,
the Frenchman who was murdered in his
house at Manhattan junction Friday night.
couple of possible clues were furnished
by two of the witnesses, but it will be very
difficult to get anything from the testimony
from which to work.
M. Mendoza took the stand first. He
said that he had gone to the store about 6
o'clock Friday evening and purchased a
dollars worth of goods. Pere was in the
kitchen conversing with some man whom
the witness did not see. Pete excused him.
self to his unknown visitor, and after wait
ing on Mendoza returned again. The wit
ness could not say whether or not the men
were talking in French or English The
next time he went to the store il, was about
10 o'clock at night when he was attrac ed
by the blaze from the fire. He tried to get
! inside the building, but could not, as the
flames and smoke were 100 dense. The
witness identified leather band as the one
which Pete had been in the habit of wear
ing around his wrist. He also recogn zed
the style of shirt found on the remains and
the unusually heavy growth of hair on the
arm.
NJ. D. Bates, boy living on Boyle
Heights, told of having known Pete. The
deceased had told him that he owned two
houses in Compton, the store where he
lived, and some property in New York
state. Pete always appeared to have
money with him, and readily made change
when asked.
w. j. Bruchad. the station agent, re-
lated how, whils going to the platform to
light the lamps he had observed two men
dressed in dark clothes. talking together
near the track. He was not sufficiently
close to get a good view of them and, in
fact, had not taken any particular notice
of the pair. He identified the strap worn
around Pete's wrist.
The jury retired, and in a short time re-
turned a verdict to the effect that Pete
Daviiie had come to his death at the hands
of person or persons unknown 10 the
jury, and his body had been found after
wards in the ruins of his house.
Sheriff Burr was seen last night by re-
porter and asked if there were any add-
tional details regarding the affair. He
said that nothing new had been learned.

state whcl he has entered, his body will
be buried as he desires.
The physicians, of whom there are sew
eral on the burial committee. are watching
the outcome with grea, deal of interest
The general impression is thai the catalep-
tic will revive before next Tuesday. though
it is very possible that he will remain in a
comatose condition for a longer period of
time. Such experiments have frequently
been made, and the cataleptic con-
dition kept up for period of
weeks. One Of the members of the
committee said that it might
be possible for Professor Tyndall to re-
main as he is for thirty days, if he was al
lowed to stay above ground, but thai it
would be entirely different if light and air
were totally excluded from him.
Professor Tyndall expects to gradually
sink from his present state to a more COM
plete and deep trance, when only the
slightest tlu,ter of the heart gives evidence
of life. When that occurs he will be resdy
for interment, and his friends have in

One Week Off
That the various new school buildings
will not be ready on January 18th as is
provided for in the contract for their con-
struction, is now certainty. 1t is, in fact,
now known definitely that the ony build
ings which will be ready on time will be
the houses located at the corner of Tenth
and Omar and Sixth and Los Angeles
streets, while the Hayes-street extension
will also be ready on time. The reason for
delay in the WORK lies in the fact that the
heavy material for the purpose can not be
secured.
There has, as yet, been no formal re-
quest for an extension of time by the con-
lrac tors at the hands of the city council.
When it comes it will be. it is understood,
approved by some of the labor crganiza-
tions of the city. The penalty for not hav-
ing the buildings ready for acceptance on
time is stipulated in the contract to be a
forfeiture of 500 for every day in which

free coinage of silver, government banking
and employment of idle workmen, etc. He
advised policy and reform to go hand in

up sheer precipice would prove an impos-
