GRAND JURY IS CALLED
Alleged Bood|ing in Kansas
City Kansas Subject
JUDGE HAS INSTRUCTION
No Crime Mere DespicabIe
Than Betraying a Trust.

Kansas City, Dec. 9.-When the grand
jury called to investigate alleged boodling
in Kansas City, Kan, met today, Judge
Fischer OF the district court gave explicit
instructions regarding its work For
years" said he. 1T has been commonly
runored and often openly charged. that
public officers of the city of Kansas City.
Kan, were in the habit of soliciting and
receiving brides. In This community there
has grown to be a sentiment that pure
municipal government is on understandable
thing; that corruption in Office is a con-
ventional crime; that every man has his
price. Such a condition of affairs is ap-
paliing and demoralizing, and no good
citizen will refuse to assist in eradicating
it. There is no offense more despicable
than the betrayal of public trust for
private gain.
Let no bride giver. or bride taker. or
corrupt public official escape
The instructions call for the investiga-
ton Of the prohibitory law as we'll al
rlalfeasance In office. Attorney General
Coleman of Kansas was present in court
and will take charge of the investiga-
ton.
