HAY BOUGHT
BOOZE
Rumored the Charge VIII
Be Brought in Supreme
Court.

Lieutenant Goyernorelect Hay
may strike something hard in de-
Tending his contested position
against Lieutenant Governor Coon.
The case Is slated to come up in
the supreme court tomorrow, and
one Of the charges against Hay, ac-
cording to report here, will be q
violation Of the direct primary law
prohibiting the use of liquor in
campaigning.
Something in the neighborhood
of $500 spent for liquor Is alleged
TO have shown up in Hays state
ment Of campaign expenses. An
cher feature OF this statement is
that although the Office of heuten-
ant governor pays but $4,000 for
the four years, Hay spent $4,700
to secure election to 1t. He spent
more than any other candidate.
There is mother story that Hay
is paying for the private car In
which Cosgrove Is expected to
come north to be inaugurated. THIS
Inauguration will qualify Hay as
lieutenant governor, and make him
acting governor when Cosgrove re-
turns to California, as II is con-
coded he will do Immediately after
being sworn in. A Press dispatch
announces today that Cosgrove will
not leave Paso Robes until the
latter part of the week on account
Of the cold weather.
Hays part in the present admin.
istration Is likely to make an in
teresting political chapter. He is
under charge OF registration irreg-
ularity here in Spokane, and also
of having spent money to further
his election in a manner violating
the direct primary law otherwise
than in the purchase of liquor. IT
is understood that Coons principal
contention will be based on the lat
ter ground.
Meanwhile A. c. Edwards of
Spokane. who was the democratic
nominee for the Office. is watching
proceedings and may figure largely
In the affair before it is ended.

This has taken place here in the

Brilliant young women, both

their lives to work in the interest

work is going on always as long
as there is something that can be
done for the betterment of social
conditions and as long as there is
q chance to make some sad young
girl happy. Rescues from the

daily occurrences to these young
women. yet they get little of the

them.

Spokane Judges Inclined b
See What Push Can r.
Find Out.

The four superior court judges
Of Spokane county have not as yet
had any conference, in regard to
the recommendation of the state
bar committee for grand jury In
vestigation Of the Root-Gordon
scandal by Spokane county. Until
the judges do meet Jointly, the in
dividual members of the court do
not care to express their views for
publication.
The opinion was expressed today
that grand jury investigation by
Spokane county will develop no
more than has been brought out by
the bar commission unless the
commission is in possession of evil
dence or the knowledge Of where
such evidence might possibly be
obtained. in addition to what II has
already given out in its report.
The attorneys for Judge Gordon.
Frank Graves and Nuzufn &
Nuzum, would not be compelled to
give any more evidence before q
grand jury than they gave the bar
committee, for the reason that
their confidential capacity as attor-
neys protects them from a grand
jury inquisition. The grand jury
can not enforce the attendance of
witnesses living outside the state,
and this provision would protect
the officials of the Great Northern
at st. Paul. the other important
source of information as to Judge
Gordon's relations with the COM
pany and the courts.
II has been suggested that Prose
cutor Fred Pugh. who Is now at
Olympia. see the members of the
bar investigation and ascertain
from them II there is much evil
dence to be had outside of what
the commission received that can
be reached by grand jury. II on
the report Of Mr.. Pugh 1t was
deemed advisable to call a grand
jury one could then be called.
The Spokane county judges will
probably confer together on the
Root-Gordon matter in the next
day or two.
Although the State Bar associa-
ton commission admits It's inabil.
ity to secure more direct evidence
than has already been published In
the RootGordon matter, it's con-
clusion in regard to Roots filing
Gordon's opinion in the Harris
case Is that Roots conduct consti-
tuted a gross breach of judicial
and professional propriety. In
stating this decision the comma.
