NO BLOW TO JOHN DOE HEARINGS
District Attorneys ONCE Not Pert urbed
by Court OF Appeals Ruling.

When District Attorney Jerome returned
from Lakeville. Conn, yesterday the mem
bers of his staff were anxious to find out
what view he took of the recent Court of
Appeals decision in which there was a
discussion OF John Doe proceedings. They
were told by Mr.. jerome that the John
Doe inquiries could go on In the same
manner as in the past as there was nothing
in the Court of Appeals decision holding
that such Investigations were illegal. Mr..
Jerome said that the Court of Appeals simply
went into the merits Of a supposititious
case. where the complaint was invalid,
as illustrating what an injustice such a
proceeding might work. The case at issue
was one Of criminal conspiracy against
the theatrical trust. Mr.. Jerome said that
the Court of Appeals did not have the
complaint before IL.
The defendants asked a writ OF prohl-
bition 10 restrain a Magistrate from punish
ing a bookkeeper who refused 70 obey
a subpoena. The Court of Appeals holds
that a writ of habeas corpus was the proper
remedy, and to that extent sustained the
District Attorney.

4 Reporter Makes an Unsuccessful Attcm pt
TO Interview Him.

WASHINGTON, Dec. "A. Grip, Minister
Of Sweden TO the United States, whose
front name has never teen revealed,
had two unique experiences to-day. He
presented Of Secretary Of State Root his
letters of recall as Minister, and he was
interviewed by a reporter. Mr.. Grip has
never permitted himself to undergo either
ordeal before. TT interview came just
after Mr.. Grip left Mr.. Root.
He stepped from the diplomatic ante
room in the State Department. Mr..
Minister" said the reporter, bowling with
an expectant air. Mr.. Minister continued
down the hall. Two more salutations failed
to attract the diplomats attention. Then
the Minister was asked if it were true that
he was about to depart from Washington,
and this brought a response.
Il can tell you nothing about that. p"
CURLY answered the diplomat. BY this time
he had reached the entrance to the elevator.
Good morning, said the reporter. Mr..
Grip was waiting for the car TO descend
Good morning, was repeated.
oh, good morning" and the retiring
diplomat started into the elevator and then
came out again to talk with Baron Rosen,
the Russian Ambassador, who had just
come up in the same car from ! Glow.
The reasons for Mr.. Grips going away
are not known IN Washington. The inter-
view was too brief for the Minister to tell,
and the other officers of the legation are
said to know nothing of il. II IL all very
sudden, for none of the acquaiEtances Of
the Minister seems TO know the reason. II
is generally believed. however. that the
Swedish Government prefers TO have a
native Swede in charge of its afairs here.
Mr.. Grip is a Norwegian. When Sweden
and Norway separated he refused 10 swear
allegiance to his native land and chung "a

man TO look after her interests here.
