STATE SUPREME COURT.
Tho School Book Bribery Case The
Trout Season Law Sustained.

Tho School Book Bribery Case-The
Trout Season Law Sustained.
OLYMPIA, March 26.-[Special. An ap-
plication for q rehearing in the school
book bribery case was filed in the supreme
court today by w. H. Calkins, attorney
for the defendants. He asks the court to
rehear the question as to the sufficiency of
the indictment, whether the indictment is
sufficient in law to charge the defendants
with any crime, and whether Leach, as
member of the state board of education,
was an executive officer within the mean
ing of the laws of the state. Judge Calkins
asks leave to make an oral argument in
support of the petition.
The last legislature enacted q law ex-
tending the time in which it is unlawful
to catch trout, so as to include April. The
act also contains q provision prohibiting
the catching of food fish planted in the
waters of the state for three years after
such planting. The title refers only
to the trout provisions of the meas
ure. 1t has been contended that the act
violates the provisions of the constitution
which declares that no bill shall embrace
more than one subject, which shall be ex-
pressed in it's title. The question was
submitted to the attorney general
by Tacoma parties and today Assistant
Attorney-General Haight replied in an
opinion in which he holds that so much
of the act as relates to trout is valid.
The supreme court today issued an al
tentative writ of mandamus directing
Judge John C. Denny, of the Snohomish
superior court, to show cause on May 10
why he refuses to hear motion for a new
trial in the case of Louisa Y. Bowen vs..
Mary L. McDougall. The writ was issued
on the application of the defendant. Ques-
tons relating to practice in moving for
new trials are involved in the proceeding.

Two More Aldermen Indicted-CorruT
tion in the Board of Education.

ton In the Board OF EDUCATION
CHICAGO, March 26-Aldermen Bowles
and Michaelson were indicted today by
the grand jury, making nine city fathers,
all of whom must defend themselves be-
fore judge and jury or don striped
clothes. The specific charge against
Bowles is that he was employed to mulct
real estate owners to the extent of $4,000
for putting through the street car ordinance
on Milwaukee avenue; and that of Mich
aelson that he tried to bleed coal mer-
chants who wanted the permission of the
city council to lay switching track. This
afternoon the investigation took an unex-
pected turn. the inquiry leading away
for the time being from the
crooked aldermen to members Of
the city board of education. Otis
Jones' heating apparatus manufacturer,
was called upon TO explain how his firm
received all the contracts. Jones had been
under fire but few minutes when he
tainted. Great commotion ensued, but
he soon revived His testimony
would, if true, reflect seriously on
ex-State Senator NJ. B. Hereby,
one of the members of the board of educa-
ton, and Banks Cregier, son of Ex-Mayor
Cregier. Through Jones' clerk, G. IL.
Goodrich, now secretary of the Mascoutah
Kennel Club, it was claimed that
about $1,000 had been paid Hereby
and young Cregier; to the former to get
fat contracts, and to the latter to
have Hereby reappointed by Mayor
Cregier. Goodrich succeeded Jones
on the witness list, and
declared Jones' testimony maliciously
false. The foreman of the grand jury,
Lieb, this evening said he was not entirely
satisfied with the work of the present
grand jury, and is sure there is leak
from it. He may recommend the calling
of a special grand Jury.
