GREAT CROWDS ]
At S%YNAGOGUES
Jewish New Years Observed
Excellent Sermons and
Music Given Here

The Jewish New Year Rosh Ha-
shonah was extensively observed by
the Jews of this city on Tuesday
and Wednesday. Their places OF
business were closed, while Jewish
employees in the city's Industrial life
wer9 excused for the two days 10
attend the services. The synagogufs
of the city were filed to capacity
on both days. At the Temple Beth
Mordecai Rabbi Nathan II. Collish
was the preacher with Cantor Louis
Hammer, of Brooklyn, assisted by
the newly trained choir directed by
Herman Philo. The choir gave
great inspiration and fervor to the
services.
Rabbi Collish preached on the inn
portance of religious education for
young, his subject being Bring Up a.
Goddess Generation" The rabhg
spoke at length on the subject briTfAI
ing up every phase of tne matter III.
a comprehensive way. ut is signi-
ficant that on the New Year that we
celebrate as Jews, the bible reading
deals with the obligation of the par-
ents to their children" Rabbi Col-
fish said and pointed out further
that Rosh Hashonah brings a mess
sage of hope for the establishment
of the OF Goo upon EARN
and of the Brotherhood of Men. He
then went on to say that the Jewish
people from their very origin realize
that while in present they may be
distant from the ideal goal, at the
same tune God has placed a mans
power to attain through his chil-
dren noble purposes which he hin-
self was not able to attain.
He also stressed the point that the
Jewish life is sadly neglected be-
cause the children receive no relig-
ious education or rather an inade-
quate one. He attributed this to the
lack of religious teachers and spirit
ual leaders in some $50 centers in
the United States which he claimed
is due to the fact that the Jewish
Theological Seminary in New York
has inadequate facilities to bring
forth more Jewish educators. He
also boosted the million dollar en-
dowment fund campaign of that
seminary, urging liberal contribu-
tions.
The Beth Mordecai will hold SER
vices on Friday night, September IA,
at their synagogue. Rabbi Collish
will preach.

BAND CONCERT
IS COMPLETE SUCCESS

One of the biggest municipal on
certs held this year took place last
night at Bay View Park, at the foot
Of Market street, and was attended
by a crowd of over 5000. The SON
cert was giveL by the Goodwill band
under the direction of Nicholas
Morrissey.
A fine program was presented
composed of classical and sentiment
al selections, while a few of the lat
est song hits were played. Practical
ly every number was encored and
the concert lasted until after IL
o'clock, and at this time but few Of
the music lovers had left the
grounds.
The streets all about the park
were lined with autos, while a good
bit of the heavy traffic was diverted
to side streets to prevent crowding
and so that the noise of the motors
would not mai the music. Louis Y.
Sosin. president of the park COM
mission, declared this morning that
the police of this city deserve unlim-
tied credit for the way in which the
crowd and the steady stream of
autos were taken care of. The Off
GERS also prevented any disturbances
that might have been created on the
grounds.
People from every section of the
city, in addition to many from Staten
Island and nearby towns were pres
ent, and throughout the entire crowd
remarks tt the effect that the crowd
of last night ought to be sufficient
enough to inspire the Board of AL
dermen to appropriate at least ten
concerts or more for next year were
heard. It is probable that the park
commission will suggest a larger APP
preparation for next season.

MONEY To MAP
US. URGED
BY JONES
Chief Of Ceodetic Survey Says
Work Is Being Delayed.
$4,000, 900 Asked.

The United States Coast and
Geodetic Survey today asked Con-
gress for an appropriation Of $4,-
00O, 900 to complete q typographical
map OF the United States.
Without this fund, the mapping
of the interior Of the United States
and its possessions cannot be ex-
| pedited, and may result in possible
economic loss to the general public,
q. Lester Jones, director, declared
in his annual report to Congress.
Jones said the work of completing
the mapping has been "discour-
agingly slow because Of insufficient
funds"
Engineering organization {
throughout the country are asking
for the rapid completion OF the
fundamental topographic map, yet
the preliminary framework OF geo.
graphic positions which Is necessary
to furnish starting and checking
points for such a map Ii Woefully
inadequate, owing chiefly to insufft-
cient funds" Jones complained.
During the year, the Survey has
devoted considerable attention to
explCASation and mapping In and
around Alaska, Jones said. This
work was carried on In connection
with the Canadian Tidal and Cur
rent Survey.
The program for the coming year,
Jones said, provides for completion
of the deep-sea survey Of the At
lantic and Pacific coasts, on the
route followed by steamers from
the east to west coast via the
Panama Canal.
