BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Jan. 20.-The grand
jury in it's presentation to Judge Dow
ling today declared that a widespread
belief exists that many persons now,
or lately connected with financial insti-
tutions and public service corporations

crimes and that the guilty persons
should be discovered and punished II
the law were adequate for such per-
poses.
Should the law be found inadequate
properly to protect the community the
grand jury says that the legislature
now In session should amend the law.
II there has only been a laxity In the
conduct of business and not criminal
disregard of duty. 1t is to the interest
of the public that the fact be made
clear, the presentment states.
The grand jury declares that the dis
trict attorney has Informed them that
he has an adequate force of assistants
to handle all matters brought before
them, and that the board of estimate
and apportionment has provided ample
funds for the investigation.
All persons having information con-
cerning the commission of crime of a

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-Just be-
fore the senate adjourned today SEN
ator Aldrich received a letter from
Secretary Cortelyou explaining the de-
lay in replying to the resolution calling
on him for information concerning the
recent Panama canal bond issue, and
the letter was lad before the senate.
Earlier in the day Senator Tillman
indulged in caustic comment upon what
he characterized as the secretary's ap-
parent "dIsobedlence" to a senate reso-
luton.
In his letter to Senator Aldrich Mr..
Cortelyou said: Il am sorry that there
should have been any misunderstand-
ing as to the time when my answer to
the senate resolution regarding the
treasury operations would be sent in.
Had 1 been advised of your request
to know when it might be expected l
would have replied that 1 required a
little more time to go over the mass Of
figures it involved.
1T is my desire, Of course, that all
business of this kind shall be disposed
of promptly, but this matter is so inn
portant that I have felt 1t desirable
that every feature of the report should
be clearly stated, both for the informa-
ton OF the senate ana IN justice 10 tne
department. 1t is my desire and in
tention to submit a complete response
to the resolution and l hope to have it
ready in the course of the next few
days-in all probability about the be-
ginning of next week.
1.-THE amount OF work involved in
the preparation of such voluminous
data may not be appreciated by some,
but it should be remembered that the
force in all the bureaus here which
have to do intimately with financial
matters have been for weeks working
overtime on the regular business of
the department, and to have this duty
put on them in addition, materially
increases their burdens"
The senate devoted over two hours
considering the bill revising the Grim
inal laws of the United States, and at
4;15 D. m. adjourned.

SPEAKER
RAPS NEWSPAPERS
Legislature at Carson Hears Attack
by Skages - ConstabuIary
Bill May Be De-
feated

BY Associated Press.
CARSON, New, Jan. 20.-Both houses
of the Nevada legislature held a short
session this morning.
In the assembly a resolution request
ing the governor to submit all matters
pertaining to the calling of troops was
passed. Speaker Skaggs, who has been
receiving considerable comment from
the newspapers throughout the state,
left the chair and made an attack on
the newspapers of the state. He stated
that he was not in favor of troops for
the miners but he believed in them
to repress the mine owners. He said
the press of Nevada was subsidized by
the Mine Owners association and that
they had blackmailed him and others.
Upon motion his speech was spread
upon the minutes.
The assembly of the legislature held
a half-hcur session this afternoon. A
memorial from the Tonopah Miners
union was read which denounced the
action of the governor in calling for
troops and declared that at no time has
there been any lawlessness in the min
ing camps of Nevada.
The special committee having the
framing of the constabulary bill asked
for additional time. A conference is
being held this evening in the commit
tee, where half score of bills have
been presented suggesting modes to
regulate affairs in the striking camp.
Assemblyman Williams of the COM
mittee stated that it is expected to have
a bill framed by Wednesday that will
cover the issue. 1t is now certain that
the bill will be drawn along the lines
of the Pennsylvania constabulary law.
It is openly stated today that there
is grave doubt of any measure of the
above character passing the house.

Special to The Herald.
SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 20.-That
secret Investigations into the methods
of granting Illicit rebates and unlawful
determinations practiced by the rail-
roads of the state are now under way
in Los Angeles, San Diego, Bakersfield,
Fresno and Eureka as we'll as several
other strategic points was inadvertently
made known today by Isidor Jacobs,
president of the California Traffic asso-
citation. while talking with a Los An
geles Herald representative.
These inquiries are for the purpose
of gathering such an overwhelming
mass of evidence to be presented to the
state board of railroad commissioners
that if the board again refuses to pros
ecute the offending common carriers
impeachment proceedings may be be-
gun against the individual members.
The men who are conducting the
probe for the shippers are lawyers that
rank with the most eminent legal talent
of California, who have rallied to the
cause of the shippers and volunteered
their services.
The fact that attorneys were delving
deep in the records of the railroads in
various cities throughout the state, as
we'll as their identity, has so far been
shrouded in secrecy, for fear that the
railroads would destroy discriminating
evidence. Much proof of rebatlng by
traffic managers has been assembled,
however, and prepared in legal shape
for introduction in the courts.
In each of the cities mentioned
branches of the California Traffic asso-
citation are also being organized.
