One More New Law.


Those who attend the next term
of the Benton county circuit court
may see justice ground out without
the agency OF a grand jury. In
deed it may be years before another
grand jury officiates at court
term. At the same time the time
honored organization, with its FORE
man and six grand jurors, with the
district attorney and a bailiff and
sundry witnesses dancing attend
ance, may continue, as in the past,
to be part of the court system
and perform the usual functions.
A new law has been passed rela-
tive to grand juries. 1t was adopt
ed at the last legislative session and
goes into effect the seventh of next
month. 1t confers on district at
torneys power to bring indictments
without the intervention of grand
juries, These powers are identical
with those always exercised by the
grand juries and include the right
to summon witnesses, to hear testi-
mony and decide whether or not
indictments, under the evidence,
should be brought, and to remand
to court for contempt, such persons
as refuse to testify. 1t is at the
same time made the duty of the
district attorney to have every Grim
inal case ready for trial on the first
day of the term. This is IN order
to obviate the necessity that so often
happens of holding the petit jury
in waiting for the grand jury to
bring i'll an indictment upon which
inquiry is in progress, and promises
to effect saving. The question of
whether or not it shall be a grand
jury or the district attorney that
shall bring the indictments at any
term of court is placed in the hands
of the presiding judge. The dis
trict attorney will naturally have to
arrive at the county seat some days
before the opening of court to in
quire into the criminal cases. If
the judge is satisfied that matters
are all in proper shape the usual
formality of drawing and organiz-
ing grand jury will be omitted.
If he is not so satisfied, or if citi-
zens for instance should request a
grand jury, it is probable that a
grand jury would be set in motion
as of yore.
The new law is said to be in op-
Grafton in most of the states west Of
the Mississippi river. Besides the
above provisions it places ..the dis
trict attorneys on salaries, instead
of the fee system. The salary of
the attorney in this district is made
$4,000 per year, and he is required
to pay all the fees of his deputies in
the various counties. 1t does away
with the usual IS fee allowed de-
putty district attorneys for attend
ance on examinations by the county
court for insane persons, and also
denies them fees for appearance in
divorce cases. The law also makes
the official term of the district at
torneys tour years, instead of two,
after the expiration of the present
term.

MR.. MASON
THREATENED
Pure Food Investigator Aroused the
Ire of a Trust.
BUT HE is STILL UNDIsMAYED.

Declares the Investigating Commits
sion WIN Frame a Bin which WIN
Prevent the sale or Articles or Food
Under Fictitious Labels.
Chicago. June s.-senator Mason, OF
the Pure Food commission who left for
Washington today, made the following
positive statements last night:
This commission will prepare a bill
compelling manufacturers OF food pro-
ducts to market their goods for what
they are: for instance, chicory must
not be labeled coffee, but chicory.
I'VE will have in the bill a provision
that Will absolutely prohibit the intro
duction of deleterious substances in
food products, that which is delete
rious to be left to the evidence sub
mitted by impartial scientific men.
81 propose to offer an amendment 20
the revenue bill which will absolutely
prohibit the importation Of food arti-
cles the sale of which is prohibited in
the country from which they are ex-
ported.
Il am no longer inclined to carry
on this investigation alone. The re-
sponsibility is too great and l do not
wish to be considered the whole COM
mission, as circumstances have forced
upon me of late. ! will be slow about
holding another session OF protracted
length unless one of my colleagues,
Senator Harris or Wetmore, is with
me. It can be readily understood why
this Is so. | cannot act as / might
deem wisest when I am alone on the
| commission. my decisions in such a
la ND hv a
| tion of personality, when In reality
this commission stands upon an alb
solutely impartial basis. There is one
! concern in this city that has already
threatened to ruin me-"
What concern is that?" the senator
was asked.
"The glucose trust" he answered,
and continued:
"It is the old story of the -four bill.
l stood by the bill for unadulterated
flour, and have always believed l com.
PEELED its passage. At that time the
glucose men did everything in their
power to frighten me or in some other
way get me off the track of my pur-
| pose. Why, they even went to my
son, who was newly wed and had only
| a scant home for himself, and offered
him salary of $4,000 a year to act
as attorney for them, making the i'm
| piled condition that he should haul
me away from the support of the -four
| bill. The adulterators of food pro-
ducts are pursuing similar tactics to-
| day, and that is why l am determined
that before the investigation proceeds
| further fellow members of the COM
mission must step in and share the
! burden of responsibility"
| Senator Mason said further:
1T is not true that Intend going 70
New York from here. 1 shall go to
Washington and take my family to the
coast of Maine for the summer, and al
the end of three weeks l hope to re-
new this investigation"

THE COAL TRADE.
In the Fan the Consumption VIII h

In the Fan the Consumption VIII be
Limited Only by Available Miners.
The June letter of the Anthracite Coal
Operators Association says: THE market,
during the month Of May, showed a further
gain in strength both as regards tonnage and
prices. While the former has shown COM
paratively little movement in and around
New York, there has been fair tonnage
going to New England points; a moderate
line trade and, on the settlement of Buffalo
dock troubles, active shipping for the Wes-
tern market. Neither line nor tidewater
stocks have increased apprecably, and some
sizes of coal, notably chestnut, have been so
scarce that several interests have been COM
PEELED to purchase enough to fill their obliga-
tions. There have been some slight con-
cessions in prices, as always is the case but
taking the market on an average all sizes
have been remarkably firm, chestnut es-
pecially, at tidewater and line points.
The reduction in prices to consumers in
Boston, has been purely a retail matter. In
past years this would have involved the SELL
ing companies in struggle for tonnage ct
any price which could be secured, but the
fact that little or no concession has been
made in this instance bears good witness as
10 Iue sincerity Oh Inelr intention to main
tain the trade on a sound basis
Taken as a whole, the developments of the
month have been unusually satisfactory.
The market has been drawn slowly and
surely under the command of the sellers and
is now in position where, as is anticipated,
an advance may be made and secured on
coal sold for the summer and early fall trade.
Of course, June and July are the critical
months, but there is no reason for expecting
sudden change from the course which has
been followed since the first of the year.
Indeed, it is open to doubt whether it would
be possible for any one interest to seriously
injure the market this year. Certainly no
concession in price would be made unless to
move large tonnage. The conditions in
which the market now stands would likely
absorb slight excess without difficulty, and
no very large tonnage could be produced
with the limited number of skilled miners in
the regions.
This latter may be expected to affect the
situation during the fall months when, it is
safe to say, the consumption will be limited
only by the working force obtainable at the
mines.
