DEMAND
Of PUBLIC
|NS|sTEN1
Judges Admit That Public
Will Not be Denied Right
of Investigation.

From private statements
by two judges of the supe-
rior. court in favor of the
calling Of a grand jury, and
the expression of the belief
by these judges that a grand
jury will be called, The
Press thinks that there is no
question about the action of
the judges when the matter
comes up again a week from
today.
There will be a grand jury,
but it probably will not be
called until the new prose-
cutor, John l.. Wiley, goes
into office, January 8 next.
Formal demand for a grand jury
was made today to the judges Of
the Superior court by Attorney r.
c. Robertson, who presented ap-
plIcations for the calling Of a grand
Jury signed by e. V. Lambert, pres.
ldent of the city council, and by
the Central Labor council, through
it's president and secretary, II. A.
Jarvis and James r. Morford.
The application was presented on
the converting Of the court this
morning and the judges announced
that no action would be taken until
next Saturday, owing to the alb
Sence Of Judge J. D. Hinkle, who is
at ConconulIy, Wash.
The application Of Mr.. Lambert
is made as citizen and not as the
president Of the city council, II will
be noticed. The application recites
the fact that Mr.. .ambert is presi-
dent OF the city council, but he
signs 1t as plain e. v. Lambert,
without title. This probably was
done because the city council at its
meeting last Tuesday night, owing
to the objection Of Mr.. Funk, re-
fused to more than merely present
its findings in the Sullivan case,
which spoke of the need of grand
jury, but made no formal demand
that one be called.
In the matter of the calling of
grand jury to investigate the city
hall and the police department, the
