In, company with this statement Gedge
read and submitted the letters from

payment of money, and Offering assistance

board, 70 the effect that the specifications
were not changed. The statement ard let

Director Armstrong offered the follow

ton:
Resolved. That the Grand Jury is hereby
respectfully requested TO make a most
thorough investigation Of the charge Of
corruption preferred against certain meua-
hers OF the board BY the Morning Call. and
that the board offer the Grand Jury every
facility 10 get at the truth of the whole
matter.

was turned and their names drawn. The
jury drawn, Judge Datngerfield appointed
John Bennett foreman. Mr.. Bennett was
given the oath. Judge Daingerfeid out
lined the sections of the Code which are
to govern their future Investigations and
actions and then the charge upon matters
demanding immediate attention was
given. With the brief charge above given
the court disposed of the School Board
scandal. The attention Of the jury was
then called to the fact that in next No
vember a public election was to be held.
Judge Daingerfield informed the body that
crimes against the ballot-box would
doubtless be attempted, and ne charged
the members TO be prepared to indict that
all such criminals might be punished for
their offenses.
The Grand Jury then retired TO it's
rooms and the work of organization was
taken up. W. S. Gage was appointed sec
retary. after which the matter OF selecting
an official stenographer occupied the jury
Owing 10 the efficient manner in which
she has conducted the work in the past
and her superior knowledge Of Grand Jury
matters, Miss Clara Stockton, who has
occupied the position of official stenog-
rapher for some time past, was unani-
mously appointed.
The jury then adjourned. but to-day il
will meet and in obedience to the charge
given by Judge Daingerfield will com
mence the investigation into the charges
of bribery that have centered upon Dr.
H. E. Gedge Of the Board of Education.

The services in the synagogues began
az o'clock last night. consisting of adj
dresses by the officiating Rabbis and
special musical programmes. In the Fra
rernity Hall OF B'nai Birth building SER
vices were conducted by Rabbi H. J.
Abraham Of the Sepharim congregation,
composed OF orthodox Jews from coun-
tries Of the Orient, who came TO San
Francisco during the Midwinter Fair and
concluded TO make their homes in Cali
fornia. The ritual. while not differing
materially from that used by the Rabbis
of the strictly local. or American, con-
gregatiOns, still had a touch OF the far
East that lent TO it a peculiar charm.
In the strictly orthodox Jewish syna
g08UeS located south of Market street the
oIden ritual was also closely adhered to.
Rabbi VooTsanger ofiiciated at the
Temple Emanuel and special musical
programme prepared by Cantor E J.
Stark and Orgauist W. I. Sabin was rem

acts-by a long series of acts. After en-
forcing the lessons he would teach, the
speaker took up the subject of the patri-
otism of the Jews. All nations acknowl-
edged the great influence the Jews have
had upon civilization and their great work
for morality and religion. But when the
patriotism of the Jew was mentioned
many shrugged their shoulders. The Jew
should assert himself He had been mis-
understood long enough. His patriotism
was Of the highest order. The tablets Of
Egypt, Assyria. Phoenicia, Babylon, Rome
and Greece told Of his patriotism; of his
heroic struggles TO preserve national exis-
tence No other people had given such
proofs OF patriotism as the Jews. In the
terrors of the Coliseum, a thousands of
pyres, the Jew had asserted his religion
and his nationality.
Then DR.. Levy spoke of the Jewish
patriots Of the present time A few days
ago a regiment from New York arrived
in the city and large percentage of the
members of that regiment were Jews
They had expressed regret to him that
they had been unable to celebrate he
synagogue TO observe Yem Kippur, and
they were present They would go abroad
and would bear arms side by side with
those of other faiths. The loyalty that
they had for their religion indicated the
patriotism that they would display for
their native land and its flag. While there
have been many courts martial since the
war began. he was pleaseu TO say that
not one had been held on account of a
Jew.
DR.. Levy personally addressed the SOL
diers present. God only knew what would
befau them within the next year. They
were away from home and parents and
were going to a land far away. God be
with them. DR.. Levy made his remarks
to the soldiers with a show of deep
feeling.
The music during the services was of
high order. Professor H. J. Stewart was
a the organ. The cantor was ]. Rabino-
witz. The choir consisted Of eight singers.

BILE in that they are petty, have long ex-

occasion sufficient evidence is ootatnab!e
TO secure a conviction that an example
may be made Of at least one erring mem
