realize the difficulty of the enforcement of this law in many sections, but do not think that IS grand jurors should be kept from their bushes for such length of time in investiga tions of nature which could be sent directly to the criminal court. Also we think this an unwise ex- penditure of county funds. as the method of indiscrimnate summoning of witnesses is very ineffective Many of these witt nesses were, in the knowledge of the grand jurors. men who do not buy intoxi- eating liquors. It was very difficult to draw. evidence from the others, which IS evidenced by the fact that 1t was neees- sary to put one witness in jail Tor day before he could talk, and to threaten 3 number of others wit hsimiiar punlsn- ment We are of the opinion that the 2s parties whose cases we no billed are guilty, but it was impossible to secure evidence against them.
 In conclusion we desire to extend to his honor. Samuel E. Greene, judge or the criminal court of Jefferson county. Ala- bama. our appreciation of his very able charge which has largely guided us in our investigations. We wish to express our appreciation of the efficient services and many courtesies extended us by the Hon. H. P, Hehin. solicitor, and the Hon Hugh A Locke, assistant solicitor, and for the invaluable assistance rendered by MT. John w. Lambert. official stenogra- pher of this body. and to our attentive and courteous bailiff. MT. Walter Smith. We wish further to commend our sheriff, Mir. Walter K. McAdory, and his depu- ties, for their efficient service In serving papers committed to them by this jury. Respectfully and unanimously submitted,

Washington, June .-(specal)- Wow. and wow once more and then some. Washington s-o-c-i-e-t-y Is all agog, also all indignant, also engaged in an animated gab-fest in various and eundry groups wherever and when ever said groups happen to group, and said gab-fest is not confined to one language.
 They are discussing it in many lan- guages. and the more they discuss, the more aggravated becomes their griev- ance. It Is all about rule, an iron clad, sealed and delivered, and riveted rule, which has been promulgated by the board which promulgates rules and things for the Chevy Chase club, the exclusive club of Washington's gilt edge aristocracy.
 This rule was duly and constitution ally promulgated in due and ancient form at the clubs headquarters re- gently and has been the one topic of conversation to the exclusion of every thing else, ever since Far be 1t from me to say that 1t was not a perfectly good rule, as rules go, but 1t cannot

 This rule simply gives notice in a cold and formal manner that after day and date above written there shall be no more turkey trottng' or bunny hugging," or any of the maddening rag-time modern dancing so much in voQue IT nrovIdes that the clubs or chestra will not be permitted to play for the jewellers anything but the two step and waltz of our fathers, also of course our mothers. It also provides any violation of the rule will be sum marily dealt with by removing the of lending person or persons from the floor It is said to have originated with the wife of n high official In who threatened to resign unless something was done to bar these dances.
 But to the membership in general, who 1t must be admitted took unusual delight In the fascinating pastime of turkey trottdng" it appears to be blow at liberty; a stride toward per sonal government; an unwarranted in terference with the rights of others and a stab at our sacred institutions. They are. therefore. loud In their demands for the populistic slogan-the refer endum, for with 1t they feel sure that they can re-establish their denied privi- leges.
 Until such redress Is obtained, how ever, the enlivening strains of rag time will not answer to the roll call at Chevy Chase. and those devotees of this style of dancing will have to con tent themselves with the more digni- fled, If less enjoyable. form of the a autlsement

 Board of Revenue
 We have examined the record of the board of revenue and find them entirely sufficient for a court of record. We find that they keep a minute book of every transaction: that they index their pro- ceedings: that they require an itemized and sworn statement of every account presenting claims to receipt not only the account, but on the warrant stubs for every warrant received In payment of services rendered.
 We find that the records are neatly and correctly Kept, that information is easily obtainable, and that the entire office is systematically administered in a business like manner
