Africa. to hunt a la mode, one takes
a battery of arms, usually three and
sometimes four, high power rifles of
different caliber, ranging from a six

these rifles are charged with vari-

one thing and hunting for pleasure is

| grand jury Other sections of the
law, in the opinion of the attorney
general and as he declared in his ar
| gument before the court on the writ
Of certiorari, make him the supervis-
| or of tle states attorneys of the state
with power to supplant them in the
conduct of any case If he so desires
and believes for the best interests of
the state. The attorney general holds
| that he has all the powers Of states
attorneys, and may exercise them in
bis judgment, and that otherwise to
construe the laws in effect would be
a nullity.
There are two places in the code
! where the matter of appearance be-
fore the grand jury is touched upon.
One of them is in specifying the dut-
les of states attorneys, where it is
provided that the states attorney
shall attend upon the grand jury and
appear before it in the capacity of a
prosecutor and interrogation. The
other is a section that limits the per-
sons appearing before the grand jury
to the court and the states attorney,
other than witnesses. This last sec
ton, the attorney general holds was
passed back in 1877, and taken from
the old code into the present code,
and the fact that it was passed be-
fore the Office of attorney general was
created the attorney general argues,
shows that it was not the intention
of the legislature to shut out the at
torney general from the grand jury,
in the face of other provisions Of the
law which would seem to give him
the authority as prosecutor to in
stitute prosecutions.
The case arose in Montana. at the
time of a bribery investigation fol-
lowing a senatorial election, when
the attorney general was directed by
the legislature to assist the states at
torney in prosecution before the
grand jury. Objection was made to
his presence there and he sued out a
writ Of certiorari. The supreme court
held that he was a supervisory Off

wholly failed to make such provis-

GRAND JURY REMAINS

TIL DECISION OF SUPREME
COURT IS MADE.
Report Is Said to Contain No lndict-
ments But Calls Attention to 'rreg-
uiarities in Practice.

Tn special grand jury remained in
the city yesterday subject to call fol
further duty, although the work sc
far as the jury's own initiative is
concerned, was completed.
The report Of the grand jury has
not been made public but it Is under
stood no indictments have been found
"touching' on and "appertaining" to
the county commissioners or other
county officers.
It is understood the grand jury has
so far taken the view, from the in
vestigations, that the irregularities
reported by the state examiner were
not OF such a nature as to warrant
criminal prosecutions, and that much
the same conditions exist in a num-
Der Of other counties of the state.
The holding OF the grand jury is
for the purpose Of permitting Attor-
ney General Miller to appear before
the body as a public prosecutor, in
ces the supreme court decides such
an appearance is not in violation of
the law.

in the suit to have Chief of Police
John Sullivan permanently re-

by screening off the bar in this
room on Sunday, he was complying
with the letter of the law.
Prosecuting Attorney Pugh con-
tended that the whole room in
which the bar is located and in
which drinks are served is saloon,
and therefore the whole room
should be closed. He quoted nu-
merous cases to prove his conten-
ton.

WANT PRIMARY LAW
TO INCLUDE JUDGES

That the amendment to the pri-
mary election law, passed at the
last regular session of the legisla-
ture, exempting supreme judges
from the provisions of the election
law, be repealed is the object of a
concerted movement of the King
county bar association. They will
be assisted in their efforts for the
repeal of this what they term "per-
nicious piece of legislation" by the
superior court judges of King
county and by the central labor
council of Seattle, which will start
state wide campaign.
1t is claimed that the amendment
was passed by railroad influence to
defeat the election of Judge John
E. HUMPHREYS and to secure the
return to the bench of Judge Frank
Rudkin.
