Misses Welch, Clark and Hall, and
ID. T. Ham and w. S. McCrea, rep
resenting the committee in charge
of the appropriation, the matter
was fully gone over and satisfac-
tory conclusion reached.
The committee explained that in
addition to the $500 for Spokane
Day, 1925 was appropriated for the
ladies to spend during the remain
der of the week and SITS more
could be spent if necessary.
When these facts were explained
to Mrs. Graves, she expressed her
self as being well satisfied with the
arrangement. The above appropri-
alton brings the entire sum to be
spent by the ladies in entertaining
up to about $1,000.
Mr.. McCrea made the following
statement today: I'VE certainly
did not mean that $500 was all the
money our hostess was to be al
lowed for the entire week. We
meant this sum to cover the re-
ception on Spokane Day only. There
was some objection raised to award
ing that sum for one day. When
was approached on the subject
by the hostess and her assistants,

sible.
After Mr.. Ash left the inquisi-
torial chambers he came over town
and those who saw him later assert
that he had concealed nothing with
in the scope of his knowledge con-
corning the Kraft transaction.
Another matter called to the at
tention of the grand jury was the
continued drawing of a lump sum
of $25 by two of the county commits
sioners as expense money. The gist
of the charge is that, while the law
says that expense accounts should
be itemized in the vouchers, the
commissioners have filed vouchers
and taken warrants for lump sum
of $25. At the time the jury SO
severely criticized the custom of
the commissioners in this regard,
the prosecuting attorney was asked
to commence action against the
commissioners as individuals for

ASH is BEFORE
THE GRAND JURY

Archie Ash presented himself for
examination this morning before
the grand jury. Ash has been
wanted by that body for some time,
presumably to furnish information
supposed to be in his possession
concerning the allegations circulat-
ed as to the reasons why A. A.
Kraft withdrew his crusade against
the bawdy houses in the vicinity
of Front avenue and Mill street.
Ash is said to have been the go
between acting in deal whereby
an option on stock of the company
involving a considerable sum of
money is said to have figured in
withdrawing the Kraft action
against the prostitutes.
Street rumor has it that in case
Mr.. Ash tells all that he knows,
Mr.. Kraft will be placed in an I'M
comfortable position before the

the recovery of the money. Such
actions have not been commenced
because the prosecutor has been
busy with grand jury proceedings.
Such an action is expected to result
in a judicial ruling of the statute
regarding manner of payment of
commissioners official expenses.
Mr.. Ash stated late this after
noon that his remarks to the grand
jury were, in nutshell, that:
Kraft was willing to take small
amount of money, but that Demp-
sic wanted too much and couldn't
be reached Dempsie wanted $4,000
for $4,000 piece of property. These
fellows have been rubbing 1t into
me and now We'll let somebody else
sweat. Guess the grand jury will
have something to say to Dempsie
now"
From Ash's conversation he I'M
doubtedly told the jury the whole
truth.

Among the places which the citi-
