Mayor Daggett, in a communication
to the board of public works this
morning, requested that body to draw
up plans and specifications and esti-
mates for the Improvement Of North
Monroe, North Divisian and East
Sprague streets.
The plans call for those thorough

Mayor Daggett in handing his COM

works this morning was to bring
about some action to gain the much
needed improvement.
Mayor Daggett stated that the I'M

had been hanging fire long enough
and 1t was time the attention of the
city council was called to it, with a
view toward immediate action.

FEET TO Death

SANTA CLARA, Cal, July IS
Aeronaut Daniel Maloney fell 1000
feet from Professor Montgomery $
aeroplane today and was killed. The
ascension was from the Santa Clara
college orchard at 1880 o'clock. The
guy rope fouled ore wing of the bal
loon, which rose 1000 feet. Maloney
cut 1t loose and descended gradually
1000 feet, when the rear wings col
lapsed and he fell rapidly, landing in
Eberhard's tannery yard. He was
stIll alive and was removed on a
stretcher to Santa Clara college,
where he died in half an hour. Pro-
fessor Montgomery IL Frustrated.

Of time each has resided in Spokane
county, the one of shortest residence
here having lived in the county Six
years, while the majority have lived
here more than Is years. The fol-
lowing facts were brought out by
Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Laugh
on in his examination of the grand
Jurors:
A. A. Harris, 10 years, B. H. Hop
kins, 10 years; l.. B. Shafer, 10 years
Robert Atkinson, 8 years; c. r. Tas-
chereau. IA years; w. A. Corey. 10
years; w. F. Winslow, years; Fred
Klostman, 20 years; L. B. Yount, 26
years; Oscar Russell. 10 years; c. H.
Cole, II years; c. H. Moore, 16 years;
w. d. Wharton. II years; ]. w. Oh
ney, g years.
Mr.. Yount desired to be excused on
the ground that he is the representa-
tive Of large concern which has
sold many harvesting machines and
he only is at hand to set them up for
the harvests. his company having
been unable to get aother man. Judge
Poindexter, without holding out any
promises, said that he would see what
could be done. But the fact that the
body is composed of only Ia men and
IL is necessary to indict makes Mr..
Yount's chances rather slim.
The grand jurors were then escort
ed to a room especially prepared for
their deliberations on the third floor
of the courthouse, where they will be
in charge of Bailiffs Phipps and Max
we'll
1t is understood that after the
work Is organized the grand jury

that anything which had transpired
in recent years would be the proper
subject Of investigation.
In connection with his charge con-
corning this point, Judge Poindexter
read from the law on bribery, reward
ing or influencing any public official
in his acts, and stated that the per-
son who attempts to bride is just as
guilty as he who does bride or as the
bribed. He directed attention to the
matter of common complaint that
there has been jury fixing and tam
pering wit witnesses, two acts which
sap the foundations of justice to all,
"a crime most insidious and destruc-
tive is the corruption of courts and
juries." From that he led on to per-
jury and subornation of perjury and
telling witnesses what they should
testify to.
Investigate County Commissioners.
In connection with the direction to
investigate the office of the county
from the law which prohibits a pub
lie salaried officer to take fee, bond
or note in excess to what he should
lawfully receive.
In closing, the court cautioned the
grand jurors to maintain secrecy as
to all their proceedings until released
by the court. The final sentences of
the charges related to details of In
vestigations, the formulation of the
indictments and other matters Of
working interest to the men them
selves.
The appointment of Mr.. Moore as
foreman is considered to be an ex-
cellent thing and Is forecast that
the work will be thorough and with
out bias.

Jurors one is struck with the length

(Scripps News Association.)
PORTLAND, Ore, July 18.--After
the introduction of testimony by the
defense to show the character of the
timber claims in question, United
States Attorney Heney this morning
began the closing argument for the
prosecution in the land fraud case
against Congressman Williamson ct
al. He will be followed this after
noon by attorneys for the defense. 1t
will not reach the jury before tomor-
row night.
The defense in the Williamson case
sprung a surprise this afternoon by
waving argument A recess was
taken until 3 o'clock to permit the
court to write the instructions. The
case then goes to the jury.
The Spokane press. [volume] (Spokane, Wash.) 1902-1939, 1905-07-18

He told them of their powers, read
ing from the law on the subject, and
told them of their absolute authority
to subpoena witnesses. He suggested
that they fix the hours for their work
and that they adopt some system
for conducting their work, pointing
out that reasonable hours would be
from 9:30 to IL noon for the fore
Moons, and from 1880 to o'clock for
afternoons.
He suggested that inasmuch as the
work was of extreme importance to
the community that they waste no
time, but expedite matters in SO far
as may be consistent with complete
ness. He suggested that the various
topics Of the investigation be segre-
gated and one topic taken up at a
time and completed before taking up
another.
O. Herbert Moore Foreman.
Judge Poindexter appointed c. Her.
bert Moore foreman Of the grand
jury and instructed the body to elect
it's clerk from among its members,
stating that they colud have a stem
ographer for the purpose of taking
notes on testimony.
Coming down to the matters which
would be proper subjects of investi-
CATION, Judge Poindexter stated that
generally every violation of the GRIM
inal laws of the state was open to
investigation, but that the private
offenses against law should be sub
ordinated to the public offenses, mas
much as the former fell within the
jurisdiction of the prosecuting attor-
ney.
Referring to particulars, the court
pointed out the public talk and COM
plant about the conduct of public Of

the flremen tumble out and put forth
a lot of trouble for nothing.
In addition to the trouble there Is
always more or less expense to the
city, the iremen say. and for that
reason care should be taken in sound
ing alarms.
Chief Myers stated this morning
that he had n vague idea that in
many cases where tho department
was called out for brush fires it was
more as a result of a desire ON the
part of small boys to see the appara-
uts run than for anything else. Last
night the department made another
run of this character.
Chief Myers said it was probably
another case of the small boy get

the more salient features in Judge

grand jury this morning. After the
preliminaries of questioning the
grand jurors as to their qualifications
for serving and after they had taken
their oaths, the court delivered its
charge, going over the ground with
minuteness and clearness. Judge
