CINCINNATI. July 27.-The committee
appointed by the last General Assembly
to investigate administrative conditions
in Cincinnati and Hamilton county was
declared unlawful in a decision rendered
to-day by the Circuit Court.
Judge William s. Griffin wrote the opin-
ion and Judges Peter Swing and Samuel
Smith concurred in It. Judge Smith while
on the Common Pleas bench two years
ago knocked out the Drake committee
which had been appointed for the same
purpose.
To-day's decision. which put an end to
the proposed probe OF the alleged political
corruption resulting from the rule OF the
George B. Cox organization. bases the ille-
gality OF. the committee on two points.
The first 10 that the power conferred on
the committee is judicial and not legislative
and the second is that the committees life
ends with the life Of the Legislature which
created 1t, and since that Legislature has
adjourned the powers conferred on the
committee have expired az we'll as the pur-
poses for which 1t was appointed.
