tative source that Attorney General Norris
Brown and former Chief Justice Sullivan

an emergency measure II Is stated by the
same authority that the attorney general Is

tions any time that II may be necessary TO
resort TO such methods TO keep an open
market for the grain which is now being
sold The attorney general has not stated
what provisions Of the statute will be re-
lied on. but Il is believed that the Junkin
act and the special statute against grain
and elevator combinations will be invoked.
Both provide for the imposition Of heavy
fines and imprisonment for violations Of
their provisions.
The attorney general has declared his
nrm purpose to have the cases brought to
n speedy conclusion and violations OF the

visited with the penalties necessary TO
provide an efncient deterrent It Is under
stood that his purpose to prosecute dealers

Of the supreme end. which is to wind up
the grain dealers combination and insure
the farmers against such combinations In

Eether working on the case. A stenographer

This afternoon student No. s, who was
taking an examination for certhcate
before the BOARD of Medican Secretaries

for using printed notes as aids in answering
questions Dr. Brash, secretary OF the

The student whose name is given as O..

animation was being held and the notes
were conflscated- The man is graduate

covery Of his use OF the pony will dis
qualify him with the present board.
The man kept the pony, which consisted
OF several printed sheetss cAreLully IN
dexed. in the front of his shirt where he
.ould reach them handily. When DIT. Brash
saw what he was using he asked to see
them, but the man hid them and the sec
retary snatched them from him. Angus
turned white with suppressed agitation
when he was ordered from the room. An
examination of his paper showed that the
second question he answered was to de-
Scribe disloeation, and among the printed
pages was found technical statement
answering the query, which Tailed with
his written reply to the question. The
mans fee OF $40 was forfeited and the
notes and papers will be kept in the
