A debate occurred over the Hudnall
bill to require the printing of laws in
pamphlet form instead of in the form
of newspaper supplement-. The bill
was recommended for non-concur-
renee and Assemblyman Durley de-
sired to have it laid over. This was
strenuously opposed by C. A. Ingram,
chairman of the judiciary COMMITTEES.
who said that sufficient time had al
ready been devoted to the bill and am
pie opportunity had been afforded Mr..
Hudnall to get information from
Washington for which he now in
structed his lieutenants in the assem-
bly, to hold up the measure while
longer. Messrs. Durley aid Nye made
strong pleas to lay the BIZ | over out of
courtesy if nothing else. put Mr. In
gram was obdurate and Mr.. O'Neil
seconded his efforts. blyman
Reynolds also opposed laying over the
bill any longer, and the motion to lay
over finally was voted down. Then
Assemblyman Hager raised the point
of no quorum and a parliamentary
fencing match followed. in which the

Smokers Win Out.

Assemblyman Simon Smith of Be
lott had his colleagues in the assem-
bly, at his mercy. He desired TO
smoke, together with half a dozen
other members but A. S. Baker, also
from Rock county, did not approve of
suspending the rule which prohibits
smoking during sessions. The smok-
.ers pleaded with the anti-smokers to
waive their objections, but the oppo-
sition remained obdurate. Then Mr..
Smith became insistent and threatened
to raise the point of mo quorum. =

pose is to prevent wrecks caused by
oYerworked operators.
Senator Bird proposed another res
otution to have a commission inves-
tigate inc waterpowers of the state
and report at the next legislative
session. The senate transportation
committee introduced a bill to require
railroads to keep both telephones at
stations of towns where there are
two exchanges.
In the evening an annual pension of
$1,000 was proposed for Ex-Governor

man of the committee, announcer
that the bill had the approval of the

bill took the usual course and was refer

Second Circuit, Territory of Ha.

CHARGE TO THE GRAND
JURY.
Gentlemen of the Grand Jury:
You have been summoned to at,
tend this Court as GRAND
JURORS at this, it's March 1907
Term, opening this day, for the
purpose of inquirlng into and max.
ing presentment of otfenses, and
finding indictments against such
persons as have in your opinion
violated the Laws of this Territory
by committing crimes within this
Judicial Circuit, and triable by
this Court:
In carrying out your duties as
Grand Jurors, you must always
bear in mind that you are to pass
upon matters either brought direct.
ly to your attention by this Court
or by the Attorney Generals De-
partment, through its representa-
tive, the prosecuting officer at this
Term. In doing so, you have
jurisdiction of all matters that may
be brought to your knowledge in
violation of the Laws of this Terri.
tory.
Although you are an inquisi'
torial body, the law demands that
for a Grand Jury to indict any
person brought before it charged
with the commission OF any offence
such charge must be substantiated

to your satisfaction by such evil
dence that will be clear to your
minds that such person charged as
aforesaid may be found guilty be-
fore a Trial Juary.
In making Investigation Of such
matters and charges, fear, favor,
prejudice and partiality should
find no lodgment in your delibera-
tions, the high and the low must
be treated with the same considera-
ton, nor, OH the other hand, should
you present any one through envy,
hatred or malice.
1t will be your duty to examine
each of the witnesses that may be
brought before you to testify con-
cerning any matter or charges that
may come before your body and if
after an examination of the wit
nesses in a given case. you have
reasonable cause to believe that
the crime charged has been COM
mitted, and the person so charged
should be put upon his trial. then
you will find "a TRUE BILL"
There must be at least thirteen
of your member present when dis
posing of matter brought up for
your deliberation. No indictment
shall be found nor any present
ment made without the concurrence
OF at least twelve of you.
You are specially instructed that
in no case is a Grand Juror to take
part in the deliberation of any
matter in which he is in any way
interested in the outcome of such
deliberation.
In finding an Indictment, your
earnest and mature consideration
is required, as the personal liberty
OF individuals, at least, for a while,
depends on the result of your in
vestigation.
In no case can you compel the
attendance of any person charged
with the commission of an offence
to appear and be examined by you,
but such person may, after having
signified his desire, do so, when
you feel that in such cases you
may avoid delay to parties in
terested, and unnecessary expense
to the Government.
1t is also your duty and right to
investigate all matters relating to
the administration of Territorial
and County affairs. No depart
ment of the government is beyond
your reach. Wherever there may
be suspicion of irregularity, you
have right to summon before you
any and all officials whom YOU
have reason to believe can throw
light upon the matter with the
books and papers of their office,
and for this purpose you can divide
yourselves into committees, which
would have to report to the main
body, however, the entire Grand
Jury would have to act upon the
report.
The scope of your investigations
is practically unlimited, in the
matters Territorial and County.
There is one thing, however, that
| would strongly impress upon
you, and that is for absolute sec
recy. What takes place in the
Grand Jury room should be sacred.
1t is a very flagrant violation of
the law for any one to dIvulge such
