In deciding 10 punish Johnson the
warden had a quasi judicial Jurlsdlc-
ton and there had been an iniractlon
of the rules. The warden could not be
held responsible for his decision even II
he erred. The question IS whether
he transgressed the power gwen hlna by
the State IN ordering tins punishment;
If not he can not lie held responsible
for damages. lie has no power 10
prescribe any punishment outside that
given him by the law. Another ques-
non Is as 10 whether the strap rs the
same as the lash. Ii the jury iind that
il is, the punishment was not lawful.
If IL was lawful 10 prescribe THIS punish
ment he is not responsible Il Blair, who
inflicted the punishment, was brutal or
mhuman in administering It. II the
Jury find that DR.. Way retralned from
exercising ms authority as physician
IN preventing undue cruelty and was
forbidden To interfere by the warden,
the punishment was not performed
under the supervision of physician
and, therefore, not within the statute.
The terms brutal and inhuman are well
understood and mean what they imply.
Under the questioning Of Attorney
McGarry, Warden Watkins related the
story OF the whole affair and Steno-
grapher Luther had nearly two con-
secutyc hours of work at lightning
speed. All question of malice is with
drawn by the cOmplslnant's attorney
and the suit IS simply one for damages.

court remained III session for the grand

THE FAIR MUDDLE.
Meeting of the Two Boards of Directors
Yesterday.

Yesterday.
The directors of the West Michigan
and Kent County Agricultural Societies
held a conference at the Morton House,
and it was decided that before the West
Michigan directors took any definite
action they would wait until after the
bids for the sale of the Kent county
grounds were opened on the 18th.
In the meeting Judge Ramsdell
acted as spokesman for the West Michi-
gan Society. He stated that while
desirous of acting in harmony with
the Kent County Association, the
circumstances We're such he was afraid
they could not. He was of the opinion
that the Kent County Society would
find it lmpOss ble to sell their grounds.
Those who put IN bids
would require guarantees which
the society could not give. 1t
is very doubtful indeed If a good title
can be given. The decd TO the land and
the record OF il were bOth destroyed by
fire. The heirs OF the grantOrs now
claim that the deed contained a clause
To the effect that If the grounds ceased
to be used for Ialr grounds they should
revert To the grantOr. Little creGence
is given 70 this clam and 10 IS not
thought that It viii cause much trouble e..
The best fair heid hv the Kent County
Society was twelve years ago, and SINCE
then there has been nOclecuOn of direct
Ors The old directors clam 20 he officers
because their successors have not been
chosen The law states, however. that
officers can not hold onto an Office
through their own neglect of duty. IL
is the duty of the directors 10 call
the annual meeting and election. but
they have failed to do 50, and many
lawyers arc of the opinion that they
are, therefore, not legally empowered
10 act, and that the society has iapsed.
The question can be tested IN two ways
by writ OF qp3 r1roaf0, which Is
an inquiry rs 10 their legal authority,
ard bv raudamus directing them 90
cali an annual meeting aui election.
Either method would obtain ruling
from thc Supreme Court winch would
