the litigants, an attorney for the
Great Northern railroad.
This is the Harris case. w. III.
Harris had dispute with the Great
Northern officials over a claim for
goods destroyed in a wreck. He
sued the company and won judg-
ment for $1198, from which the
company appealed. In the supreme
court the judgment was affirmed
and the company paid it.
But the Great Northern was
facing another similar suit in
voiving much larger amount,
and, for the purposes Of the
second suit, the law as laid
down by the supreme court in
the Harris case did not favor
the company az much az the at
torneys for the company de-
sired. So N. J. Gordon, attor-
ney for the railroad, petitioned
for a rehearing and set about
: having the opinion "doctored"

the company in the large case
then pending. Upon rehearino
the case was assigned to Judge
Root to write the opinion.
Root and Gordon had been close
political friends for more than a
decade.
So when the Harris case was as

Its lack of power to compel the At
tendance OF witnesses and the pro
duction of evidence, Its investigar
ton was not sufficiently complete
to enable it to make q finding on
this point. 1t therefore recommend
ed that the investigation be re-
sumed by some body possessing
such power. Its report said:
"The committee 10 unable to
make a complete investigation be-
cause Of its inability to procure al
the evidence bearing upon matters
subject to it's inquiry.
"As to rumors Of bribery and cor
ruption, the committee begs to re-
port that II has been unable to OBJ
tain any facts to substantiate the
same, and its investigation, for the
reason above stated, has not been
sufficiently complete to make
finding on this point.
without implying that any facts
exist which would establish such
crimes, the committee has become
convinced that an investigation by
some body clothed with legal inqu's-
itorial powers might clear up this
point.

This Harris case was exhaustive
~ investigated by a special COM
mittee Of the Washington Bar asso-
citation, appointed by President j. b.
Bridges, at the request of Chief JUS
tice Hadley Of the supreme court,
Of this committee, John H. Powell
Of Seattle was chairman. It's find
ings were in accord with the state
ments here made. or the character
of the Gordon opinion in the Harris
case, the committee said:
1.-THE opinion Of law announced
was decidedly more favorable to
the railroad company than that con-
tanned in the original opinion Of the
court"
This decidedly more favorable"
principle of law laid down by the
attorney for the Great Northern
railroad, operating through the SUI
preme court, is still the law Of
Washington.
Another case Investigated by the
Powell committee Is the well known
Richardson case, which suggests an
other explanation for the bias con-
tanned in supreme court decisions.
The Richardson case involves the
story of Tony Richardson and the
underground trail which ran to the
inner precincts of the supreme
court via the Seattle office of e. b.
Palmer.
Friends and defenders Of the
court are fond of saying that the
Powell committee exOnerated the
court of all general charges of graft
and corruption. If this were true,
this series of stories would never
have been written. But 1t Is not

The Jury in the case of the stat,

The jury in the case of the state
against Jess Olds, charged with
assault in the second degree, at
11:45 D. m. brought in a verdict of
not guilty. The jury retired at
SIS yesterday afternoon and de-
bated on the case for some time.
Judge McClenahan had retired when
the jury reported they had reached
verdict, and Judge Stanton, who
was waiting to 20 to Grand Rapids
on an early morning train, convened
court and accepted the verdict,
ordering the prisoner discharged
and his bonds released.
The criminal calender was called
this morning and a number of cases
which have been |" hanging fire" for
some time were disposed of.
One case of the state VS.. Jennie
Anderson was stricken from the
calendar and two cases of the state
VS.. Jennie Anderson ct al were dis
missed. Five cases against Albert
Belize were dismissed, as were also
the cases against O. J. Shinn and
Jake Jacobson.
The case of the state VS.. Charles

unlicensed saloon was taken up and
was on trial this forenoon, the testi-
mony being all in and both sides
resting at noon. It was expected
that the jury would reach verdict
in this case before late hour this
afternoon.

NORTHWESTERN DRAINAGE
co. GOT DITCH CONTRACT
The Big MARSHALL Berami County Ditch Will Cost $685.
1921, and $1l5 per Mile for Road at
Side Of Ditch

The contract for the construction
of the enormous drainage ditch,
known as judicial Ditch No. II, was
let at Warren, Marshall county,
Tuesday, to the Northwestern
Drainage company of Grand Rapids,
Mich, for the total amount of
$552,752.51 for the construction of
the drainage ditch and its latterels,
and Sis per mile for the construc-
ton of the road alongside of the
ditch, it being distinctly understood
and agreed that if any of the farmers
living adjacent to the ditch desired
sub.contracts to construct the road,
that they be given the work at the
contract price ($115 per mile) which
the Northwestern Drainage CON-
pany secured the work for.
The contract was let jointly by
R. c. Hayner, county auditor of
Beltrami county, and August Lund-
gren, county auditor of Marshall
county, and there were three other
companies which submitted bids to
construct the ditch, in addition to
the Northwestern Drainage CON-
pany, which secured the contract.
These bids were opened at 10
o'clock in the forenoon, Tuesday,
but the contract was not signed
until late in the afternoon, there
being much discussion and figuring
before the contract was finally let.

consultation with the two county

The council met in the city hall at
an adjourned session Wednesday
evening, to wind up the business of
the year for the old council. There
was practically a full house" on
hand, all members being present
except Rhea of the Fourth ward.
The entire council voted to pass
over the mayors veto of the resolu-
ton to buy fire team for the city.
After the team had been purchased
by the city the mayor vetoed the
purchase and it takes a two.thirds
majority of the council to pass over
the veto. This was done by vote
of eight ayes.
Another important event that
came up before the meeting last
evening was the bill presented by
City Engineer M. D. Stoner. City
Attorney Gibbons was requested to
state in writing as to the validity
of this bill. Mr.. Gibbons opinion
states emphatically that the bill
was not legal and instructs the
council not to pay it. In the first
place, the opinion states that the
bill should have been itemized,
stating day for day the time put in
on the work.
Mr.. Stoner's bill is for extra work
put in supplying the plans and.
specifications for the city water
works department. The opinion also
states that Mr.. Stoner receives
for his services S6 per day, and it
is the impression of the city attor-
ney that the work should be paid
for on this basis. The amount of
the bill is $500 and has been re-
ferred back to Mr.. Stoner for cor
rection.
A liquor license was granted to
Gennes & Layon and Jens Johnson
to sell Intoxicating liquors for the
coming year.

Just prior to the noon adjourn
ment, Judge McClenahan called in
the grand jury and stated that, in
all fairness and kindness, he wished
to tell them of conditions which
called for an early conclusion of
their labors. It looked then as if
the last jury case for the petit jury
to try would be concluded and he
did not desire to place additional
expense on the county for holding
the jury should the grand jury find
indictments late today. .
