NO INDICTMENT FOR
PROSECUTOR KIPP
Grand Jury Finds No Case Against
Prosecuting Attorney
Kipp.

The grand jury. called primarily to
investigate charges of graft made
against Prosecuting Attorney Kipp, has
in its report found no case against
that officer. The report, in part, is
as follows:
"From these Investigations we reach
no conclusion against the honesty or
efficiency of the prosecutor. The really
important charges against him, and
that which, if true, would prove him
unfit and unworthy of his responsible
position, was in connection with the
Sunday closing of the saloons in Pa
louise City; we found the general i'm
preston prevailing among the saloon
keepers of that place to be that the
Sunday closing law had been enforced
against them by the prosecuting at
torney because they had failed to raise
a fund to be turned over to the prose-
cutting attorney to secure an open pol
icy. We have spent considerable time
in the investigation of this matter and
have examined every witness procur-
able from whom it appeared probable
that any information could be ELECTED,
and from such testimony we find the
facts to be circumstances which will
perhaps look quite convincing of guilt
to Mr.. Kipp's critics and as shallow
and unimportant to his friends.
"The grand jury has honestly at
tempted to arrive at just conclusion,
and after due deliberation we have
reached the conclusion that the testi-
mony does not warrant any finding
against Mr.. Kipp. The power and
responsibilities of the office of prose-
cutting attorney are very great, con-
stantly calling for mature and discrim-
mating judgment on the law and facts
of the many cases brought to his at
tention; that he should satisfy every
one in his position is impossible, and
that he would make no mistakes is to
expect degree of wisdom in him con-
siderably above ordinary human endow-
ment
In regard to other cases before us,
we recommend increased activity on
the part of the prosecuting attorney
and sheriff in forcing the saloons of
the county to conduct their business
within the bounds of the law as to
keeping closed on Sunday, selling
liquor to minors, and recommend sup
preston of all nickle in the slot ma
chimes prohibited by law"

CAFES LITTLE FOR SOCIETY.
Mrs. George Bruce cortelyou Emphat-
icalIy a Home Lover.

When George Bruce Cortelyou be-
comes secrn. ary of the treasury his
wife becomes in Washington parlance
1.-THE second lady of the cabinet" Mrs.
Cortelyou is a woman of domestic
tastes. She is devoted to home and
to church life. She is active in all
the works connected with st. Marga-
ret's Protestant Episcopal church and
was one of the Leading figures in a
bazaar given by the won IN of the Rec
tors Aid society for the benefit of
special parish fund.
Mrs. Corteiyou is the daughter of the
president of the Hampstead IL. ID
institute, of which school her husband
is a graduate. She never has cared
particularly r the g,emor of society,
but in obedience to the dictates of the
duties whicS her husbands position
imposes, sno recently has undertaken
social respo ,ioilitIes in connection
with her other occupations.
AS the wife of the secretary of the
treasury moe duties as hostess will
be incumbent upon her and she will
bear them we'll, for she is a woman
of grace and charm and, what is more,
intellectually. Mr.. and Mrs. Cortel-
you have fclr children, and as Mrs.
Cortelyou has the older American idea
that the mother should be all in all,
the reason fcr former reluctance to en-
ter into all V ashington gayety may be
understood readily.

MRS. ROOT SANITARY EXPERT.
Wife of Secretary of State Has Very
Pronounced Views.

Mrs. Root, wife of the secretary
of state, who will be the next chate-
laine of the Morton house, Is known
as the most ardent germicide In the
higher social set of Washington.
Mrs. Root has made study of germs,
and it is her knowledge on these
points which has made her such diff
ficult person to please when 1t comes
to choosing a residence. She has
likewise reputation of moving more
than any other official hostess.
Her home must be absolutely and
thoroughly sanitary, and before TAX
ing possession of any house, or room
In a hotel for that matter, she makes
a test of pipes, etc. Like all believers
in hygienic principles, Mrs. Root re-
lies on air And sunshine, and the Sc
lection of the Morton home was be-
cause the entire house sits on high
terrace at the juncture of four streets.
Mrs. Root, under the guidance of the
surgeon general of the army, has stud
led the standard works relating to
the destruction of germs, bugs and
bacteria, and she therefore puts her
hobby into force under scientific direc-
items.

delicate odor about her of the

it is sufficiently pronounced to diff

WASHINGTON AS A MODEL CITY
The Movement Has Lately Been Given
Decided Impetus.

The most notable piece of coopera-
ton has been in the movement to
make the national capital a model city
in its social and economic environ
ment, as well as in broad avenue and
public building.
The Washington monument has
stone from every state in the union.
The civic neglect of the District OF
Columbia has come from the same
quarries. For congress is the common
council of the district aad year after
year had d-.inistered defeat to meas
ures that would restrict child labor
and lower an excessive infant NOR
tally; would require compulsory edu-
cation for Washington children at the
hands of the same authority which
builds schoolhouses for the Tagalogs,
and would raze alley shacks, fairly un-
der the caves of the capitol, which, on
the word of two western senator's,
were not fit for COW stables.
The fight against child labor and for
compulsory education has yet to be
won. But a wife-desertion bill was
passed, a juvenile court bill enacted
and judge appointed, two foul blind
alleys were opened at once into minor
streets, the president commissioned
a special representative to investigate
conditions, and bill passed providing
for the con ,emnation of insanitary
dwellings, which had hung fire for
nine years. Here was more social leg
islation in five months than in as many
years before.

HardshIps in rransxaal Mines.

In the gold mines of the Transvaal,
where the heat and depth are great
and the natives, who make up most of
the laboring class, are extremely sus-
ceptible to tuberculosis, consumption
is terribly prevalent. After careful
tests the authorities have come to the
conclusion that the best safeguard
against the disease Is the use Of an
atomiEer which lays 75 per cent of the
mine dust and removes nitrous fumes
caused by explosives necessary for
blasting. On the other hand. such
spraying of the air in mines requires
pure water In abundance and makes
It necessary for the miners to work
