for permitting the railroad opinoin to
become part of the supreme courts
records. At the hearing before the
bar association a mass Of documentary
evidence came to light, showing that
Root had acted for and received nu-
merous favors from Gordon. including
transportation over the company's
line. These disclosures were follow
ed by the calling of the grand jury in
Spokane county to investigate tho
shady deals in which 1t was alleged
that Gordon figured.
There was more than the usual diff
Guilty in securing the requisite number
Of inquisitors. Finally the jury was
Organized under the foremanship OF
Benjamin F. Davis.
A Complete Record.
Fred c. Pugh, prosecuting attorney
of Spokane county, was eager to OBJ
tain a complete record Of the testimo-
ny before the jurors. SO he made a
formal demand for the attendance OF
"a stenographer. Judge William E.
Huneke denied this request, also de-
claring that no notes should be taken
by an outsider. J. H. Pelletier, court
stenographer, was appointed a deputy
prosecuting attorney and has been
present at each session of the grand
jury to date. .. ..5
Among the witnesses summoned to
give evidence in the Gordon investiga-
ton were Judge e. Henry Sullivan OF
the Spokane county cuperior court, his
brother. Potter Charles Sullivan OF
Seattle, and Nulten E. Nuzum OF Spo-
kane. They discussed their testimo-
ny after leaving the grand jury room
and were promptly hauled before
Judge Huneke for contempt OF court.
They admitted talking about their tes-
timony. Notwithstanding that Foreman
Davis had cautioned them to keep 1t
secret, but denied through counsel that
such conduct constituted contempt.
Frank Graves, attorney and state
senator. appearing for Mr.. Nuzum, de,

order about secrecy of testimony, add

| OF foreman of grand jury Charles
S. voorhees,. son of the late United
States Senator voorhees, of Indiana
who defended Judge Sullivan, said that
the caution by the foreman OF the jury
was impairment as no written or un
written law would sustain such con.
tention, while Mr.. Sullivan. who pa

for Gordon, and he had the right to

advisement, after Don F. Kizer. depu-

upon the count inflicting punishment

saying that the court had been unable
to find anything bearing upon thu

ney, be cited for contempt Of court
Judge Huneke entered the order ap-
pointing Frank Graves and Frank T.
Post, counsel for Gordon, TO prose
cute the charge. The case will be
heard some time this month and
lively legal battle is expected to result.
An interesting sidelight is cast upon
the case by the supreme court Of
Washington declaring in a three to two
opinion that there was nothing to re
view when Prosecutor Pugh appeared
before that tribunal recently for 4 de.
cision permitting the state to install
an official reporter in the grand jury
room during he Investigations Of the
Gordon and other cases. Another is
that when F. ". Brown, counsel for the
Great Northern Railway company, was
citey for contempt of court for failure
to produce letters and papers asked
for the state, Judge Huneke discharg-
ed him on the ground that the sub
poena was too sweeping.
Contempt Of Court.
Prosecutor Pugh has caused sum-
mons to be issued for Colfax w. Ma
honey, city ticket agent in Spokane,
and L. W. Gilman, assistant to Pres
ident Hill, to appear before the jury
with certain letters and papers from
the company's files. II these are not
forthcoming the prosecutor will either
charge the company with contempt OF
court or file information against 1t for
conspiracy.
Prosecutor Pugh also plans to call
for another venire SO that the second
grand jury can be impaneled early in
June, or within "A hours after the pres
ent jury is dismissed under the law
not later than June To- The present
statute is interpreted to specify that a

Prosecutor Pugh declared In the SUI

that the Great Northern Railway com
pany is a conspirator with Gordon and
in conjunction with him its officials
are aiming to defeat the ends OF JUS
tice in these embezzlement cases, add

The money which Gordon has en-
bezzled was the company's property.

DOG IN THE MANeER" ACT.
EDITOR NEws-HERALD-It seems
to me that the action of the Methodist
church in connection with the Hills
boro College matter are to say the
least inconsistent.
1t was only a few years ago that they
attempted both to deed and lease the
property to the village of Hillsboro FOR
school purposes, asking no compensa-
tion whatever. Now they come for
ward wanting between $1,000 and
$4,000 for what they claim is their
interest.
While / agree with the Methodists
generally chat the alleged stockholding
trustees have no legal interest in this
property, nevertheless they are in
possession Of the property and have
been for number of years and at the
rate at which the cases to settle this
matter have progressed in the courts
in the past few years will be in posses
sion for years to come.
Hillsboro needs more school facili'
ties and needs them badly.
The alleged stockholding trustees
offer to deed their interests to the
village for $4,000. Then the Methodist
conference who previously endeavoreC
to give it away, wants $4,000.
1t strikes me that this is sort of TIN
"dog in the manger" act, Conference
saying, "We will give this property t.
the village of Hillsboro as we dom
want it and are not using it and will
get out of law suit with the ALLEGED
stockholding trustees" Then wheI
the village shows an inclination u
settle matters by paying the stock
holding trustees for the interest the
claim to hold they say "We won't dis
, pose Of our inte -est for less than So, ,00C
t This appears to me to be hardly tn
: position one would expect a Christia
: Church to take. "We don't want tn
! property and can't use it but If any
5 body is going to get any money out {
I tive must have more than anybod
Q else"
, Is this the charity the lowly Nazs
! rene taught and Of which the Meth
K dist church claims to be an exponent
