JUDGES DIFFER
ON G. ]. QUESTION
SOME THINK IT SHOULD BE ABoL-
IsHED; OTHER NOT.
Hennepin County District Court Judges
Point Out Arguments for and Against
Change-Desir Expressed for Reten-
ton Of Power to Call Grand Jury
When Circumstances Demand.

Opinion among the district court
Judges Of Hennepin county as to the
advisability of abolishing the grand
jury is divided. Two Of the Judges de-
clare in favor of doing away with what
they declare a cumbersome system; two
are for its retention and one thinks the
old system might be improved, but is
not quite ready to declare for it's aboli-
ton. Following are their opinions:
Judge G. B. Elliott am in favor Of
the grand jury system. It is a safeguard
which should be retained. It is in keep
ing. with the spirit Of our institutions
and it serves to keep the people In
touch with what is going on in official,
dom. Two hundred and fifty repre-
sentative business men each year act
ing as grand jurors keep the public in
formed as to the march of events and
the machinery of government.
Judge John, Day SMITH am not in
favor Of abolishing the grand jury sys-
tenn, which has been the growth Of cen
turtles 1t is safeguard which should
pc perpetuated. 1t may be cumbersome,
We have none. too many safeguards as
it is and those we have should be cher
ished. t. ..- r.a - s,s- -
Judge D.. F. Simpson-If the grand
jury is abolished and the power to call
a grand jury when circumstances war

it would, be decided improvement and
a movement in the right direction. I'm
der the present SYSTEM, the county at
torney in reality controls the jury. I'm
der the new SYSTEM he would have the
responsibility as we'll as the power. and
there would be enough of a check on
him. to insure the people s rights
| Judge Andrew Holt-The proposed
system would be cheaper and just as
| effective and safe. If the power to
summon grand jury when occasion de-
mand be retained I think the neW sys-
TEN should be adopted.
Judge H. D. Dickinson-It is the
abuse and not the use, of the grand jury
system that has brought it. into dis
favor. However, the abuses are num-
erous and the new system has many val
liable advantages. The saving Of time
and money would be great The only
danger I can see in abolishing the
grand jury is that under the new sys
TEN there might be a lack Of initiative
along the line of investigation into
municipal corruption. It might be ar
ranged so that a grand jury could be
called in times Of need. but the diff
Guilty then would be to determine wher
it was needed. The new system has
many advantages, but I am not ready
to say now that the grand jury should
! be abolished. - -

A FRANK CONFESSION
It was Good for the Soul Of Thomas

It Was Good for the Soul Of Thomas
III. ,Golding.
5sTI It was not necessary for the state
to prove that gambling house was
in operation at 251 First avenue S i'll
order to convict Thomas Golding of aid
ing and abetting. a gambling house. He.
proved it himself.
AT his trial this morning Patrolman
Conroy, who made the arrest, stated
that Golding was on the streets pass
ing cards to well dressed men, saying
that a game was in progress at the
cltibrooms. The states case was not
conclusive until Golding took the stand
in his own behalf.
He admitted that gambling house
was conducted there and Tint he
worked there as doorkeeper. In his
spare moments he often passed the
cards, telling persons where they could
sit in a little game.
His frankness won the respect Of the
court, and, altho it was necessary to
find him guilty, his admission was con
sidered. Judge Waite fined him $15.

PASS IN STOLEN COAT
Two Men in Dire Trouble for Going to
Spokane on It.

It is not often that a stolen overcoat
furnishes the thief transportation for
two from Minneapolis to Spokane,
Wash. Such luck, however, is said to
have befallen B. H: Hayden: and 19t :: F.
Forgery, alleged to have been com
mitted in connection with their cpl
sode, is charged against the two who
are also liable to indictment for. grand
larceny. The case may be brought be-
fore the Hennepin county grand Jury,
as the men are said to have started on
their stolen overcoat journey from Min
The tovercoat was the property Of
Fred White. In the pocket was a rail
road pass to-. Spokane made out to Mr..
White. Taking this, the men are al
legged to have illegally added the name
of E. Hays, thus committing a forgery,
and to have ridden to the western citv
by means of the same.

MUNICIPAL >JUDGESHIP

Provoked because the incoming demo-
cratic state administration lost the
chance to fill the municipal court va
cancies, certain democrats are now said
to be perfecting q plan Of attack upon
Judge E. F. Waite. In 1894 his in
vestigation of gigantic pension frauds
disgraced prominent citizen Of Lime
Springs, Iowa. Local feeling was high
and tho the man he prosecuted was con-
victed, Mr.. Waite himself was indicted
on a charge of improper methods in
handling witnesses. 80 49,
Local democrats are now seeking to
make a handle of the conviction that
followed this charge. Attorneys gen,
orally do not expect that. any action
can result in disqualification inasmuch
as the case was carried into the federal
courts and after long delays the su.
preme court Of the United States finally
ruled that Mr.. Waite's course had been
entirely proper and well within legal
bounds.
