Grand Jury Finds Its Powers
Limited in Soapbox INQUIRY

The grand jury which has been in
vestlgating the utterances Of soapbox
orators will make its report to Judge
Mcintyre in General Sessions early
this week. It will be strong present
ment, it is believed, and will serve az
a guide to the police and city magis-
trates.
1t was learned yesterday that no in
dlctments will be returned against any
OF the orators who up to the present
have melted sedition. The reason for
this, it was said, is that, while il is \
crime TO incite persons to break the
law, the particular laws which all OF
the offending orators are alleged TO
have advised their hearer to violate are
Federal statutes and, therefore. action
on them is for the Federal grand
juries.

ITO return TO a topic Of greatest impor-

OF my previous articles, wish 10 say that
FOR one cannot understand why the Fed

councils Of defence do not avail themselves
OF the services Of the loyal foreign Ian
euoge press for the promotion Of American
patriotism among the foreign born citizens
and Inhabitants Of the United States. eH-
planning nj the same time why the L. 5.
A. had 20 enter the war and why the
Kaiser must be bcatsa. II is true that the
Liberty Loan publicity committee has
erasped the situation. and has used all the
space devoted by the foreign language press
most literally TO that purpose. The CO.
operation and assistance given by the loyal
foreign language papers during the Lib
ertv Loan campaign have been duly ap-
preciated by the Liberty Loan committee
and the 'Crostian Flag as well as other
foreign language papers. have received
very fattering letter from the Liberty Lohh
publicity committee. in which that body
has expressed its sincere thanks for the CO.
operation Of the foreign press in general
which is being commended. as well as given
credit for much Of the success, especially
in the sale of the bonds Of smaller de-
nominations. which undoubtedly Is due 10
the great work by these loyal papers.

German Insurance
Firms Opposed
By Californians
DefaIcations in 1906 Fire
Recalled as War
Issue Arises
fStar Corrsspondencel

WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.-The inhu-
cncc of California in Congress will
probably be thrown against the amend
mcnt OF the trading with the enemy
act. which would protect German fire
insurance companies in all their ex-
listing privileges. Enemy owned and
enemy managed, they continue to do
business as usual.
One argument for allowing them to
continue in business is that they share
the risk, which, without them, would
be inadcquately insured.
The German fire companies have
figured in one big conhagration-that
in San Francisco in April, 1906. In
that catastrophe they distinguished
themselves by treating their policies
as mere scraps of paper Where
they did not abscond they insisted on
paving but portion of their losses,
although the inquiry Of the San Fran
cisco Chamber of Commerce proved
that some of those who insisted on
paving about 40 cents on the dollar
could have paid in full.
The excuse they gave for defaulting
on their contracts was that they were
not liable because the fire followed an
earthquake, although none of them
had earthquake clauses in their poll
cies. On the other hand. English com
panies. with iron-clad earthquake
clauses. paid their claims. This liberal
policy cost them tens of millions, but
they paid.

The inquiry of the San Fran
cisco Chamber Of Commerce also
showed that the German code OF
business morals was to great eN-
tent the code followed by American
companies with German connections
For example, one company whose Prih,

field paid as low as 20 per cent OF the
proven claims, though its sworn state
ments on file in various insurance de-
partments show that II was amply able

This company is to-day reinsuring
its risks with the enemy, and its mead
insists that il would be hardship to
property holders if they were to be
deprived of this kind of protection.

of Austrian and Bulgarian companies:
