ACCUSED PROMOTERS
ATTACK GRAND JURY
Rogers and Main Seek to
Quash Indictment in San
ia Cruz Court.

SANTA CRUZ, Aug. 1S.-W. j. Rogers
and H. H. Main of San Jose. ex-general
manager and secretary respectively or
the Watsonville transportation Com
pany, who are under Indictment by the
Santa Cruz Grand Jury, were arraigned
to-day They are charged with de-
fraudIng the stockholders OF the COM
pany of upward of s360,000 in stock
and $21, 900 in cash and with erastng
the records of transactions from the
minutes.
Through their attorneys. w. H. Lin
forth of San Francisco and B. A. Har-
rington of San Jose, Rogers and Main
began their defense by attacking the
validity of the Grand Jury. All the
grand jurors were subpenaed to ap-
pear and a number were put on the
stand to testify to their qualifications.
with the result that five were found
to have served on the last Grand Jury.
Two others are not on the assessment
roll and three others testified that they
did not vote on the indictments, which
leaves less than the necessary number
of legal votes to bind the indictments.
The first draft of names for the
Grand Jury was made by Judge Smith
of the Superior Court in January.
Since that time the Legislature passed
a law disqualifying any one from serv-
ing on two grand juries within a year.
The examination of jurors was con-
tinued until tomorrow morning. The
attorneys for Main and Rogers will
move to quash the indictment, but sew
eral minority stockholders declare that
should the court so order an informa-
tion will at once be filed charging them
with felony and the prosecution will be
continued in the criminal courts.

NEW SYNAGOGUE
TO OPEN soon
Jewish Temple, Home of
Congregation Sheriff. Is
rael, Is Nearing Completion
EDIFICE rs BEAUTIFUL
Conservation of Holy House
Will Be Solemnized With
Ceremonies of High Order

Great interest is being manifested in
Jewish church circles over the opening
of Temple Israel, the handsome new
edifice that is being erected on the cor
ner Of California and Webster streets
by the members of the Congregation
Sheriff. Israel. This structure is to cost
$4,000 and when completed will sur
pass anything of its kind in this scoun-
try It's exterior is said to compare
with the magnificent structure erected
by the Emperor of Germany in the city
OF Strassburg. The interior is far su-
perior to that of he synagogue in Flor
ence, which up to now is said to be the
best decorated synagogue. The style
of architecture is Romanesque and the
decorations are of the Byzantine style.
The sacred emblems of the faith are
painted around the cove. A golden back
ground and hundreds of incandeScent
lamps add to this decorative feature.
The building is studded with lights and
the graceful lines of architecture are
shown TO advantage when the interior
is Illuminated
The ark and pulpit are of solid ma
hogany and hand-carved. The organ
is pronounced a work of art by well
known experts. 1t is the largest in the
city, with the exception of the instru
ment in ST Ignatius Church, and is an
Improvement over the Stanford memo
rial organ at Palo Alto. The Temple
Israel organ was built by the same
firm The new instrument has fifty
stops and cost in the neighborhood of
$4,000 A novel feature is an echo or
gan, which is to be placed in the dome
gallery The particular stop on the
echo organ is the vox humana, which
will give the effect of sweet voices
heard in the distance.
I,Ie vestibule and staircase are of
white marble and the interior finish of
the synagogue is of marble.
The acoustics, so far as can be
Judged by the playing of the organ,
seem to be exceedingly good. This Is
practically guaranteed by the many
curves in the interior decoration. The
architect succeeded in eliminating right
angles.
Members have been invited to visit
the synagogue tomorrow for the pur-
pose of exchanging their seats. This
is a novel idea on tie part of the ener-
getic rabbi and has met with the
hearty approval of the congregations
This will give the members an oppor-
tunity of securing the same relative To-
cations they had in the old synagogue.

STRIKERS WILL

MAYOR OF CHICAGO FAILS TO Sc
CURE PEACE.
CAN'T SECURE ARBITRATION
Notifies Labor Leaders of Employers
Refusal Transfers Strike to Be
Directed Against Montgomery
Ward & Co. Only.

chicago, April 10. Mayor Dunno
Tuesday formally notified the leaders of
the strike against Montgomery Ward 6
Co. that his plans for settlement of the
struggle had failed utterly. His effort
to persuade the employers to accept ar
duration as means of ending the gar
ment workers strike, he told a commit
tee OF the unions involved, had been re.
jected by the National Wholesale Tai
lors' association and by the Employers
association. Union officials then issued
statement announcing that the strike
would be fought to successful finish 'if
1t takes the organized masses of Chicago
to do So"
International President G. p. Shea,
OF the teamsters, declared emphatic
ally: 'The strike will be confined to
Montgomery Ward &c Co. If it spreads
the employers will have to spread it by
ordering lockout. We will not call out
members of the teamsters' unions
employed by the firms that are deliver
ing goods to Wards with nonunion
drivers"
Police Preparing for Trouble.
Keenly alert for rioting that is al
most certain to follow any aggressive
ness on the part of the employing inter-
ests in the matter of increased delivery
to the Michigan avenue supply-house,
the police department is preparing for a
severe and strenuous period Of duty.

demonstrations greeted the nonunion
teamsters throughout the day.

WEATHER IS UNFAVORAELE {
Low TEMPERATURE DELAYS
GROWTH OF CROPS.
Preparations Being Made for Corn
Planting in Middle States-Win-
ter Wheat Promising.

Washington, April 10. - Crop re-
ports from all sections of the country
are summarized in the weekly bulletin
of the weather bureauas follows:
Over nearly the whole Of the country
the week ending April II was abnor-
mally cold and unfayorable for germina-
tion and growth. In western North Da-
kota the temperature fell nearly to zero
on the 10th, and on this and the follow
ing day exceptionally low temperatures
for the season occurred throughout the
country east of the Rocky mountains.
freezing temperatures occurring as far
south as the northern portions of Ala
bama and Georgia and central South
Carolin with light to heavy frosts in
the central portion of the east gulf
states, and light frosts at Jacksonville:
While corn planting has continued In
Kansas, Missouri and southern Illinois,
none has been planted farther north nor
in the upper Ohio valley and middle
states. Preparations for planting have
been active in the central valleys,
where planting will be vigorously
pushed as soon as temperature condi-
tions are favorable. In the south Allan
tic and east gulf states, planting
is about finished and early corn is be-
ing cultivated.
Winter wheat continues in promising
condition generally throughout the
country, but is beginning to need rain in
portions of Kansas and Michigan.
Very slow progress was made with
spring wheat seeding over the northern
portion of the spring wheat region on
account of low temperatures. The early
sown spring wheat does not appear to
have sustained injury from the recent
: cold, except in Nebraska, where some
fields were slightly damaged.
0at seeding was also delayed in the
Dakotas, Minnesota, lake region and
portions of the middle Atlantic states.
While the growth of the early sown has
been checked and some injury sustained
in Nebraska, the general situation re-
specting this crop continues promising.
Cotton planting is much delayed in
Mississippi and Louisiana, and is later
than usual in Texas and the Carolinas.
Tobacco plants are generally plenti-
full and transplanting has begun in
South Carolina and Florida
