JUDGE THE GRAND JURY
MEMBERS WARNED AGAINST d.
VULGING ANY SECRETS.
Fewer Cases i'm the Police Court Than
Usual on MOnday-Other Cases
in the Courts.

Judge Afford, Of the Criminal Court,
when he instructed the grand jury yester-
day morning. took occasion to indicate his
attitude regarding the cases of the Civic
Alliance. He told the grand jurors that
their deliberations should be in secret and
not divuIged This was directed to the
member or members who had talked con-
corning the action OF the grand jury in re-
ceiving the witnesses Of the Civic Alliance
and who told how the grand jurors voted.
Another part OF his remarks referred to
the duties OF grand jurors in judging evil
denee and returning indictments when they
are convinced that there is violation Of the
law. He said:
II desire TO say to you grand jurors this
morning that the laws Of this State provide
and demand that your deliberations, opln-
ions, statements and votes upon all matters
before you shall be secret and remain so,
and that this court has the power under the
law TO punish for contempt any memDer
who wilfully violates this provision OF the
law. You have taken an oath 10 do this
and the law demands it.
You have also taken an oath to make dill
gent inquiry into all violations OF the GRIM
inal laws OF the State, happening in Marion
county. and after such inquiry that you

coming before you, the credibility OF VIII
nesses and Of the weight to be given their
testimony. This court cannot question
your right in this matter. But II grand
jurors are satisfied from the evidence that
"A criminal law of this State has been vio-
lated and in the face OF evidence so con-
vincing them. they fail to return into this
court indictment. they fail in their
duty to the people and in the discharge
OF the oath taken by them.
THE law demands it, and your oath
requires that all laws be enforced, one
as freely and willingly another A
grand or petit juror who has a prejudice
against the enforcement Of a single GRIM
inaI law in our State. after having proof
convincing him that the law has been
violated, IL not a proper person to be on
a grand jury or a petit jury: for so long
as that law is left by our Legislature on
the statute books. il is there for courts
and juries to enforce; and the oath we
take is not that We will enforce some of
the laws, but all of the laws.
This court cannot and will not at
tempt TO say who you shall or shall not
indict, nor what evidence you must be-
leve and what reject: il merely mentions
these few things, pointing out TO you your
duties.

Whereas At a former meeting OF this
post a resolution was adopted asking the
Governor to appoint none but veterans OF
the war of the rebellion on the board or
control of the Soldiers and Sailors Monu-
ment; and.
Whereas Said resolution has been
misunderstood by our sons and comrades
who were engaged in the late war with
Spain. and much has been said about the

Resolved, That in asking the Governor
to recognize none but veterans of the civil
war in his appointments to the board OF
control this post meant no discourtesy 10

such request was to preserve the object
for which the monument was built, and TO

sale was made at a time when they could
not enter objections and that undue ad-
vantage was taken of them. The petition
says that the owners are now proposing TO

OTTO STARK'S PICTURES.
Scenes Near BroOkviIle Reproduced


Mr.. Otto Stark has chosen for his pic
lures now on exhibition at Lieber's scenes
in and around Brookvile, where the artist
spent the summer. Besides Mr.. Stark, Mr.
Adams. of Muncie, and Mr.. Steele have
gone to this historic place for much of their
material.
The majority of Mr.. Stark's pictures are
water colors, many of which were taken
from the east branch of the White Water
river, famous for its beauty of scenery
Besides these there are several pencil draw
ings and experiments in pencil and colored
crayons blended.
Mr. Stark's work is characterized by sim
pllcty of detail, harmonious proportion
of the impressionistic and realistic and
truthfulness in that most difficult of arts
the expression of the ideal, or the soul of
things.
Among his water colors works of particu-
lar merit are 1.-The End of Day." notable
for strength and robustness, and THE
Month of August" showing stubble field
lust after the wheat has been cut, almost
dazzling in brightness.
MT Stark is felicitous in his representa-
ton of children's figures, and frequently
makes use of them. In the 'Seiner,' with
his seine and minnow bucket. there is a
natural grace and swing that suggests
movement and childlike energy, while in
his Young Fisherman" there is special
beauty of coloring One suspects, however
that the little fellow is too good a fisher
man 10 be a good poser
dainty bit of scenery is a branch Of
Whitewater river along the east bank
where the artist has caught peculiar cop
perry effect as it is reflected from sky to
water.
MIR. Stark has been quite successful in the
blending of color with charcoal giving
variety and naturalness not possible other
wise. one of these sketches is the Good
win homestead. the birthplace Of T. A
Goodwin. of this city; another. an old mill
which once supplied paper for the Cincin-
natl newspapers.
Perhaps Mr.; stark rs at his best in a
which there is a distinct charm i'm the
blending of color and a softness breathin
of the calmness and quiet of a summer
evening after sunset.
