TO AID GRAND JURY.
Business Men of Seattle Will Give
Aid Morally and Finan.
ciaIIy.

Seattle, Feb. 9.-Some of the most
influential men of Seattle have agreed
among themselves to accept the respon-
sibility of removing from the grand jury
now in session any restrictions that
may in any way hamper flee and full
investigation of the alleged corruption
said to exist in Seattle in connection
with municipal administration.
During the afternoon committee of
business men met to perfect plans for
assisting the grand jury in it's work.
The assistance will probably take the
form of cash subscriptions TO pay for
the services OF one or more attorneys to
assist Prosecuting Attorney Scott, and
to pay private detectives for securing
evidence and bringing about the arrest,
extradition and prosecution of indicted
criminals. The committee of business
men will confer with the board Of
county commissioners for the purpose
of ascertaining Just how much money
is available for the needs of the grand
jury. This having been ascertained
the business men interested in this
movement will at once subscribe an
amount of money sufficient for all
needs, and the prosecuting attorney
will be instructed to draw against the
fund so created tor all purposes not COW
cred by such funds as are in the hands
o. the county commissioners.

BREAD AT FAMINE PRICES
What England May Expect in Case
of European War.

London, Feb. 9,-The influential
committee, headed by the Duke of
Sutherland, Lord Strathcona, Lord
Charles Beresford, and number of
members of parliament, admirals and
other prominent men, which was formed
February l to agitate the question of
the security of Great Britain's food
supply in time of war, has issued a
statement in which the opinion is ex-
pressed that in the event of Great Brit
ain becoming involved N a European
war the country must be prepared to
see bread at practically famine prcies.
Various reasons are given as a basis
of this opinion. The chief are that the
general source of Great Rritain's food
supply is the United States, where the
price OF wheat can be raised artificially,
and that the corn trade on both sides of
the Atlantic would expect to make
profits on scale commensurate with
the war risks.
