LIQUOR STATUS CRUX OF CHARGE Grand Jury Meets for
 Fall Session. JUDGE BROWNS INSTRUCTIONS Outlines Duties of Body, But 0mits
 Specific Matters. says in Passing, Montgomery Pecu- li.riy Free From All Graft- Robert s. Teague is Named
 Foreman.

Possible blind tigers being operated In Montgomery. and the duty of the members of the grand jury to ferret put such and take action in the cases of violations of the liquor laws was the cr,lx of Judge Browns charge to that body yesterday afternoon.
 Judge Brown said that 1t was rumor- ed that blind tigers were being operat- cd in Montgomery in a manner that approached the apparent, but further than recommending that the grand jury do its duty in regard to viola fions of that nature and carefully ex- plaining the laws on the subject he made no comments.
 Tn the course of his charge, he took occasion to refer to the work of the San Francisco grand jury that brought to book the grafters and boodlers of that Pacific city. In applying the similar duties of the Montgomery coun- fy grand jury, he said that this city was peculiarly free from grating and grafters and. probably. the grand jury would have nothing to uncover.
 One comment he made brought smile to the faces of the jurymen and attaches of the court. It was in the form of suggestion that this grand jury. as others have done, urgently recommend that better quarters be furnished jurymen. He declared that it was notorious that the jurymens' quarters were inadequate. uncomfort- able and unsanitary.
 Judge Brown felicitated the county through the jurymen because less crime has been reported in the county since the last grand jury met than in similar period for numbers of in- fervals. He said that there was no crime of homicide for the jury to con- sider.
 He cautioned the jury that no ques- fion of the moment that was causing

paper issue complains of crippled fire

appears this is not permitted, and
Council Bluffs has a large amount OF
railroad property within its limits. If
this property was assessed the same
as other property for local purposes,
the paper claims the city would have
revenue enough.
Major Goss: Cairo is in the sam

local taxes. If its property within the

much of such work They assume
more power than they need to. When
a community is large enough to be in
corporated as a city much latitude
should be given it, All powers that
the state can safely delegate TO it
should be thus delegated. The popu-

far beyond regulation of the liquor
