away from the campus by Fort Doug
las officers are to the effect that West
Point itself cannot excel the form

II Is possible that n letter may be
received from Mayor Taylor assigning
the battalion to Admiral Evans as his
personal escort during the ceremonies.

Grand Jury is Today Taking Up
The Gregory Coin Sweat
ing Case.
WITNESSES BEING EXAMINED,
Partial Report on Findings of Inquisi-
torial Body is Expected on
"Wednesday Next.

There is every reason to believe tho
grand jury Will begin its investiga-
tion Of the Utah National bank affair
day after tomorrow. one OF the strong
indications is that the grand Jurors
are today listening to a mass of evil
dence in the Eben j. Gregory case,
Gregory is charged with coin sweat
ing and having IN his possession u
counterfeitlng outfit Gregory had pre-
nminNry hearings on these charges
around the first Of the month and the
4. S. commissioner bound him over TO an
swer to the L.. S. district court. The
young mans bonds were placed at So
600, and az he was unable to put up
this amount, he is now in the county
jail awaiting trial.
Some of the witnesses being exam
ined today are: Chief Goddard OF the
government secret service department
at Denver, and secret service men,
Harry b. Richardson and w. w. Fra
ser; Mr. Leech OF the Denver mint;
state Chemist Herman Harms of this
city: Charles c. Clismon chemist of
the hrm of assayers. Crismon x Mich
OILS, city: August Otterli, employed AT
the Plaza saloon Crhird South); Hans
Jeppefson. employed at the Union sa-
loon (Second SOUTH, and number OF
others IT is expected today and
part OF tomorrow will be consumed by
the inquisitorial body in listening TO
the stories of an witnesses. This
leaves, so far as known, nothing
undone except the probing of the big
gest of the batch the Utah National
bank robbery. This will take three or
four days and maybe longer. The at-
fair has completely routed experienced
detectives and special agents of all
sorts. Public opinion is divided as to
the probable outcome of the grand
iury's study of the mystery. some
persons feel the governments board
has something tangible to work on;
others predict that no mystery Will
have been removed after the probing
IS over.
From the fact that the Gregory case
is now under consideration it is evident
numerous minor eases have been clean
cd up. The partial report expected by
many may come yet, with the jury s.
