Rabbi Opens Course of Lectures.

Rev. Jacob. Nieto. rabbi of the Con-
gregation Sheriff. Israel, opened his
regular winter course of Friday night
lectures at the synagogue, corner of
Taylor and Post streets, last night.
The edifice was fairly we'll filled and
some beautiful music was rendered by
the choir. The rabbi took for his sub
ject a recent book on the conversion
of the Jews and in his scholarly man
ner tore it to shreds. He advanced
the belief that all of the ethics and
philosophy of the Christian religion
was of Jewish birth and only the hand
1of might had kept the Jewish religion
from being the foremost monotheistic
doctrine of the world. Instead of a
conversion OF the Jews he pleaded for
revertion of Christian to the mono
theistic theory of theology, first ad-
vanced by Israelistic philosophers and
kept alive through two thousand years
of barbarities and prosecutions.
DR.. Voorsanger has discontinued his
weekly lectures for the winter season
because his congregation evinced no
particular desire to attend them.

SANTA FrE OFFICES
WILL NOT BE MOVED
Officials i'm Los Angeles Deny the Ru-
mors That Headquarters Are to
Be I'm San Francisco.

LOS ANGELES, Dec. Manager
Wells of the Santa Fe is out of the
city, but other Santa Fe officials here
take no stock in the rumor that the
Santa Fe company will move it's Offices
to San Francisco.
Il believe the story was made out
of whole cloth at San Francisco" said
Treasurer Holterhoff to-day. Nothing
has been heard of the alleged change
of quarters down here, and do not
believe a word of the rumor is true"
1t is pointed out that the Santa Fe
company leased large part of three
floors in the Conservative Life Build
ing for a period Of ten years only
twelve months ago, when it moved
from the old quarters in the Bradbury
Block This indicates that the com
pany had no intention of removing it's
general offices from Los Angeles at

Harbor Brings Up Large
Amount of Counterfeit Money
DISCOVERY CAUSES ARREST
Detectives Charge Jacob Claus
sen With Being One of the
Gang Making False Currency

TACOMA, Dec. 1.-THE finding of
nearly a half-bushel of counterfeit sill
yer coins in the bottom of Tacoma
harbor is taken by secret service Of
fcers as evidence that a gang of coun-
terfeiters is doing wholesale business
in Alaska and sending their product to
Puget Sound. A big hydraulic dredger
belonging to the North American
Dredging Company of San Francisco
brought the coins uD from the bottom
of the city channel several days ago.
About the same time the Seattle detec-
tives arrested Jake Claussen, on whom
were found dies for so, % and cent
coins. together with several counterfeit
half-dollars, one spurious quarter and
one nickel. Investigation shows that
after Claussen returned to Tacoma
from Alaska, about October !, he re-
manned here as watchman of the steam
er Arthur b until three weeks ago.
The coins brought up by the dredger
were found exactly where the Arthur
B was lying While Claussen was watch
man. Claussen claims the coins found
on him were given him by man from
Alaska. The officers believe he threw
the coins overheard because suspicious
that his actions were being watched.

SLOSS SUSTAINS THE BOARD
OF FIRE COMMISSIONERS
Emergency Companies Are Legal
ly Entitled to Their Positions.

Luke Curry; T. S. Bolger, c. H.
Knorp, F. c. Lester. A. Gerot and ].
Harrington, members of relief and
emergency companies of the San
Francisco Fire Department, are en-
titled to hold their positions by virtue
of an ordinance passed by the Board
of Supervisors on January 21, 1896.
Judge Sloss so decided yesterday in
his decision in the case of William
Gleason against the Board of Fire
Commissioners.
Gleason petitioned the Superior
Court for writ of mandate compell-
ing the Commissioners to declare the
positions held by these men vacant on
the ground that they were doing the
work of machinists at the corporation
yard. He wanted the positions filed
by men from the classified civil SER
vice list of machinists, of whom he is
one.
Judge Sloss holds that the places in
question are civil service positions, but
that the men are holding them legally,
first because of their appointment as
regular members of the Fire Depart
ment prior to > the existence of the
Civil Service Commission and second
ly because they were placed under
civil service by the reorganization of
the department.
