Today was Newspaper Mans
Day" in the grand jury chambers, and
for the first time since the inquisi-
torial body began it's daily grind rep
resentatives of the newspapers were
admitted to the holy of holes.
A transcript of what transpired
within the walls sacred to secrecy
and dedicated to the immortal ques-
ton mark should not find place on
paper lest the grasp of vigilance and
justice envelop the unfortunate
scribe who constitutes himself the
unofficial historian of the quizzes and
replies. But a description of what
the eve saw will be in order, even If
what the ear heard and the tongue
said be barred.
The jury meets in Judge Poindex-
ter's courtroom-that part of it with
in whose pale prisoners have shud-
dered and wretches have WINGED I'M
der the penetrating glance of a re-
lentless justice. 1t was about on
that spot of the floor on which Dr.
Mary Latham lay on her ambulance
cot, acted her part and received her
sentence, that the representative of

some bank of smoke.
The questions asked the reporter?
No, nothing can be said. The same
method of synthetic correlation which
had been the tool of the scribe here
tofore must continue.
F. W. Middaugh of the Chronicle
was the first to enter the holy of
holes. 1t Is reasonable to postulate
that he was questioned concerning
the stories which have appeared from
time to time in the columns Of his
paper about alleged transactions Of
the grand jury. Mr.. Harvey, who for
some days has been acting as Mr..
Middaugh's underwater, was next
called within the sanctum. Presum-
ably he was asked whether there had
been any collision between the two.
The Press reporter was admitted
next, but the Chronicle men did not
dare ask him for a tip as to the line
of his testimony. Reporter Raymond
E. White of the morning edition Of
the Chronicle was next in line when
the jurors adjourned for the noon
hour and a half. George Foster and
William Henry McBroom were sub
poenaed for the afternoon. William
Dee of 07321a Monroe street was also
on the bench. He Is supposed to
have some information concerning
the purchase of the Decarie inciner-
ator plant by the city.

to build It's miles of electric lines,
tapping San Joaquin, Sacramento,
Calaveras and Stanislaus counties.
The lines will not only serve as feed

Santa Fe and Southern Pacific as
well. Orders have been placed with
employment agencies in California to
supply the Western Pacific with all
the men that can be secured. There
are eight surveying crews of 10 men

stakes, and $50 men are at work con-
