Grand Jury Report.

TO the honorable. the JudgeS Of the
circuit Court tor Garrett County:
The Grand Jurors for Garrett coun-
ty having been ia session for the past
five days respectfully report that we
examined all witnesses brought before
us and carefully consider the evidence
and where the evidence seemed to
justify, indictments have been re-
turned.
In the performance of our duties we
have been greatly assisted and the
business expedited by the advice and
counsel of our able States Attorney,
Mr.. F. A. Thayer
As one OF our duties it became nee
essary for US to inspect the court
house, offices and the Jail We find
the court house, as has been reported
for years by former grand iuries, to-
tally inadequate and unfit for the
needs and requirements of our rapid
ly increasing and growing county.
The records we found kept with ac-
curacy and neatness. We would
recommend that the ianitor of the
court house be instructed to be more
particular as to his duties, especially
as to the stairway leading to the
court room. We find that the vaults
and safes for keeping records, plats,
etc, totally inadequate, exposing the
same to destruction by fire, damp
ness, or to be mutila ted by any person
maliciously inclined. The above
applies especially to the Office of the
County Commissioners. We should
consider it as criminal carelessness
on the part of the County Commits,
sioners if they continue to neglect
providing suitable vaults or safes
where all records, plats, etc, for the
several offices can be kent safe from
all damages from whatever source.
On our visit to the Jail we found
about twelve prisoners confined
therein. The air on entering the
IiiDChSiS tOpoi vi llIC Jan was
SO foul and the stencil so strong that
portion of the Jury was nearly over
come. We found large portion of
the prisoners on top of the steel cages
seeking what little free air that could
reach them through the small upper
ventilators. While we we do not at
tribute the condition of the jail to
the carelessness of the sheriff or taller,
but rather to imperfect drainage and
bad ventilation, we must conclude
that the same is totally unfit for hu-
man beings.
We commend the contemplated
action of the County Commissioners
in building a new Jail and would sug-
gest that great care and attention be
given to selection of the site as to the
proper drainage and sanitary condi-
tions.
All of which is respectfully submit
ted.

MAYOR AND COUNCIIMEN
AT WAR IN CLEVELAND
Charges Made by the Chief Executive
of the City Result I'm
Fiery Session.

CLEVELAND. Feb. 13.-To-nights
session OF the City Council was one OF
the most exciting that body ever held.
The Republicans took up Mayor John
sons recent statement that he be-
lieved their votes on the question of
annexing the village of South Brook
lyn to the city Of Cleveland had been
unduly influenced. Councilman Halle,
a Republican, said with much anger
that If the Mayor included him among
those whose votes had been so influ-
enced the Mayor was q lair.
Councilman Horner intimated that
Mayor Johnson had. when he was a
street railway owner, Influenced the
votes of Councilmen to obtain desired
privileges The Mayor retorted that
no man dared face him with a def
mite charge to that effect.
A resolution was introduced and re-
ferred to the judiciary committee to
expel all persons from the Council
floor except members OF the Council,
newspaper men and heads of city de-
partments. This resolution would ex-
clude the Mayor from the privilege
which he now has Of a seat in the
Council chamber.

NEW MEXICO'S
HOPES DASHED
House Members Determined
to Reject the State
hood Bill as Amended
SIGNING AN AGREEMENT
Republicans Pledge Their
Adherence to Programme
Merging the Territories

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-The Re-
publican leaders of the House to-day
took the first step toward getting the
statehood bill into conference. In
accordance with the plan previously
decided upon Delegates Rodey and
Mcguire of New Mexico and Okla
homa respectively began the circula-
ton of a paper among the Republican
members for signatures. AT the head
of this paper is the following state
ment:
In the endeavor of tho House to secure the
final passage of H. r. 14.749 and the admis-
sion of Oklahoma and Indian Territory as one
State and the Territories of New Mexico and
the two houses, or otherwise, the undersigned
members of the House will support the parlia-
mentary procedure deemed necessary for that
purpose by the Committee Territories, the
Committee on Rules or any conference COM
mittee.
1t is deemed necessary to obtain
only the signatures of the thirty
three Republicans who voted against
the resolution adopted, expressing
practically the same idea. 1t is stated
that this can readily be done. The
nsXt step will be the introduction Of
the necessary rule in the form of a
resolution which will provide that the
statehood bill shall be taken from the
Committee on Territories and sent to
the conference without action by the
committee or opportunity for a mo-
ton to concur in the Senate amend
ments.
This activity on the part of those
interested in getting the bill through
is taken to indicate confidence that
the Senate ultimately will yield to the
House provisions. In this connection
it is understood that the House is
willing to accept the amendment Of
fered in the Senate which permits
Arizona and New Mexico to vote sep-
arately on the question of statehood.
Should either Of these Territories re-
ject the proposition the provision for
one State out of the Territories of
Arizona and New Mexico would fail,
but the union and admission of Okla>
homa and Indian Territory would be
obtained.
SANTA FE, N. NJ, Feb. 1S.-
Colonel G. S. Pritchard, Solicitor Gem
eral Of New Mexico, to-day addressed
the following telegram to United
States Senator J. G. Burrows Of Mich>
igan:

j. s. YOkela's Re
CeiVer Cost
Only So.

The receiving apparatus Of the wire
less telegraph system on the battleship
Ohio cost Uncle Sam in the neighbor-
hood Of $500. It was made by scientific
men in a scientific way; is extremely
delicate, very complicated and alto
gether In keeping with the deep, dark
mystery which. to the lay mind. still
envelops this latest means OF long
distance communication On board the
naval militia training ship Marion.
moored at Folsom-street wharf, Is a
little handful of hardware worth about
81, by means of which a youngster, for
merly an apprentice in the navy. Is
able to oycrhear all the wireless con-
verSationS going on within radius or
a hundred miles.
This young inventor, who thinks he
is on the road to a great reduction in
the cost of the wireless telegraphic ap-
paratuS, is John S. Yokela Of 243 Steu-
art street. He Is % years old. He
served Uncle Sam for seven years as a
naval apprentice, leaving the service
with a good discharge about four
months ago. While In the navy he
showed a liking for electrical work and
was assigned for duty where his bent
could have full swing. He made good
use of his opportunities and was elec-
trician on the Boston when the wireless
system was installed on that vessel
about two years ago. He learned the
Morse alphabet, studied the mysteries
of atmospheric waves and when he left
the Boston carried away a letter in
forming all concerned that j. S. Tokela
was u wireless expert and a first-clasS
operator.
After leaving the navy young Yokela
kept alive his interest In wireless af-
fairs. A few days ago he got pernnisS-
sion to string a wire to the truck of
the Marion's mainmast. He sent the
wire aloft by the signal halyards and
secured the lower end to the bulwarks.
He intends to patent his receiver and
will give no details of how he makes
his wire tell him what 1t hears be-
yond saying that the only part Of his
receiver and that the whole outfit
would not cost 50. He has had his re-
ceiver working during the last two
trips of the Ohio and had no difficulty
in catching every dot and dash from
the time the Ohio was seventy miles at
sea until she entered the harbor.
MY receiver" Yokela said yesterday,
'is much more satisfactory than the one
they have on the Boston and, think.
would be serviceable at much greater
distance. 1 am not quite ready to apply
for a patent or / should be pleased to
show you just how simple an affair
it Is"
Two darning needles, some carbon,
about a hundred feet of wire and his
telephone receiver, say the people on
the Marion, are the component parts
OF the Yokele wireless receiver.

HAS
FIGHT WITH
A WILDCAT
Special Dispatch to The Call.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Feb. 13.-Joe
Letter of Chicago had an encounter
with a wildcat in Northern Wyoming
a few days ago, the details Of which
reached Cheyenne to-day in a letter
from a member Of the hunting party
to a friend.
Letter and a companion discovered q
large bob cat in the branches Of a dead
tree and were circling around to get a
shot at the animal. Letter crept in
under the branches of the tree to get a
good shot when the tree suddenly col
lapsed bringing the dead branches and
the bob cat down upon the intrepid
hunter.
Letter was thrown to the ground. He
arose to discover that the wildcat was
about to spring. Having lost his gun
he grabbed a club and attacked the
beast. A fierce struggle ensued during
which the Chicago stock speculator
was badly scratched, but he succeeded
In killing the animal.

REFUSES
TO Be WITNESS
Denies Authority of Police
Board to Compel Him to
Testify Against Himself
NO DECISION REACHED
Sergeant Christensen Says
He Did Not Give Tip and
Defendant Exonerates Him
NO DECISION REACHED

The trial of Sergeant Ellis dragged
before the Police Commission last
night and adjournment was taken to
Wednesday evening. The question to
be settled then Is whether the board
can compel Ellis to take the stand.
The Commissioners are eager to hear
the confession he made to the Grand
Jury. He refused last night to testi-
fy voluntarily.
Sergeant H. II. Christensen was the
most interesting witness. He was
asked If II were true, as the Grand
Jury's version of Ellis confession
reads that he told the accused SER
geant to go to Chan Cheung for the
weekly payment from the sack"
christensen pronounced the state
ment false. Attorney Mogan arose on
behalf of Ellis and said the defend
ant had made no statement tmpIicat-
ing Christensen
The witness explained that he was
In command OF the Chinatown SQUAD
for nine months before Ellis took
charge. After waging a campaign for
three weeks his hands were tied by
an injunction. While he was free to
make raids he did not succeed in
stopping gambling altogether. II
! don't think any man can stop the
gambling altogether" said the SER
geant.
do you think you could md any
gambling In Chinatown nov?" queried
Commissioner Reagan.
Il don't think could" was the an
swer.
II thought you said the games
could not be stopped" commented
Reagan Commissioner Drinkhouse
here began another question and the
sergeant did not have an opportunity
to explain.
Thirty-six Chinatown guides were
called to testify as to gambling In
Chinatown, but they were surprisingly
ignorant Of any lawbreaking. AS the
commission controls their licenses
there may be trouble ahead.
Four of the eight Chinese STATES
men" def1ed the subpenas OF the board.
Attachments were issued to have them
brought In Wednesday evening. The
effort to call the president of the See
Yups resulted in the appearance OF a
cannery foreman. There was confu-
sion of identity and Sergeant Cook Is
to hunt out the real president and
have him bring the books of the or
ganization tomorrow night.
