POWERS OF GRAND JURIEs,
Ihey Are Defined In Decision by TIL
Supreme Court.

They Are Defined In Decision by the
Supreme Court.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. I0.-The Supreme
Court has decided that under the present
judicial system there is no function for o
presentment by a Grand Jury and no
authority for the arrest of a person
charged in that form with the commits
sion Of public offense.
The question arose in the case of A.
Grosbois, one of several property-owners
who were arrested i'll March last under
presentments of the last Grand Jury,
charging them with misdemeanor in hav-
ing rented houses for purposes of ILL
fame. eros Dois, in order TO test the
legality OF his arrest, sH ore out writ of
habeas corpus. and the Supreme Court
under the writ has ordered that the pris-
oner be discharged from custody.
The order of the Supreme Court affects
not only the case of Grosbois, but the
cases of more than score of property
owners who were arrested at the same
time. The cases were all pending before
Police Judge Low at the time Grosbos
took the matter into the Supreme Court.
All of the cases will now have to be dis
missed.
Under this decision the crusade of
the Civic Federation against owners of
property on Morton and Dupont streets
is rendered barren OF result. The only
remedy left TO the reformers is TO swear
out warrants in the Police Court charg-
ing the oiense which it is sought TO
charge by presentment
