HOWELL REFUSES THE GRAND JURY
Judge CritiCiZeS Request of
District Attorney for Such
an Investigation of
Law Violations.

Judge j. a. Howell yesterday declined
10 summon special grand jury to in
FesJlgate violations of Ia " in the Sec
ond Judicial district and gave as gen
eral reasons for his refusal of this the
request of the district attorney, that
the officers of the law are doing all that
could be done by d grand jury and that
there is no need of adding this addi-
tional burden Of expense on commun-
lty already tax burdened. After re-
citing at some length the conditions be-
hind the desire for a grand jury the
Judge in conclusion says:
IN my opinion then. the regularly
constituted officers of the law may be
relied upon TO take care of this mat
ter, so far as this county is concerned.
and until am convinced that they will
not, or cannot, ii would be improper
Tor me to take any action. Even If I
did, l could only bring into existence
4 body which would be able to do no
more than Will be done by the legis-
latiVe committee, already appointed if
1t does its duty. I shall not. therefore,
deem il necessary TO call a grand jury
IL TINS county, until il has been dem
onstrated that the ordinary machinery
OF the law has failed. because a grand
jury should not be used as a shield be-
hind which to shirk official response
bhity, or as a subterfUge for a self
constituted mischief maker. It should
only be brought into being s last
r. sort, and il might BE- as well to say
that Inasmuch as my only reason for
calling a grand jury will be that the
regular officers of the law have failed
to do their duty should I do so
V ould feel called upon to charge that
body, not only to inquire into the
crimes that had escaped punishment,
but also to investigate why it is that
the officers charged with the enforce
ment of the law have not done their
duty

INVESTIGATION Is LOOKED FOR
Action by Attorney General Is Being
Awaited.

Citizens of Salt Lake who confidently
look forward to some kind of an in

awaiting the return to the city of
United States District Attorney Joseph
Lippman to learn what is to be the out
come of his application TO Attorney
General Moody for an investigation into
the deals of Jesse Knight, United States
Senator Reed SmOOt and G. o. Baxter
president Of the asphalt trust.
Mr.. Lippman is in southern Utah on
official business. He will not return to
the city until Tuesday, and in his alb
sence no one connected with his office is
authorized to give out information in
relation to the matter.
The actions of the Florence Mining
company and the Raven Mining COM
Pany are looked upon as scandaIOus by
hundreds of people in this community
Who were intending to try their for

opening in the spring. The feeling
would be more intense If they did not
feel that the general government would
