A NEW DECISION
IN THIS SECTION
Defense Wins Point and Petit Jury
viii Determine Whether or Not
Legal Evidence Was introduced Be-
fore the Grand Jury--case viii be
Heard at the Regular April Term

fore the Grand Jury--Case Will be
Heard at the Regular April Term.
This morning Judge Robert w.
Daley, in very able opinion, per
mitted the defense in the case of the
State VS.. Claude w. Stewart to file
its pleas in abatement The Judge
discussed the question from its var
ious angles, and cited many authori-
ties to sustain his belief. lie review
ed the arguments at length in ex-
planning his reasons for such a de.
cision, and throughout held to the
belief that. being guided by authorl-
ties, he was justified in allowing the
defense to file the pleas submitted,
This is a new decision in this sec
ton, and it may have great weight
in future cases. The state asked
that the defendant either demurr or
enter a plea to the indictments, but
the court oyerruled the motion, TO
which exceptions were taken.
The question as to whether or not
no legal evidence was submitted to
the grand jury will not be determin-
ed Immediately, but was continued
until the April term.
The Arguments,
Monday afternoon at A O'Clock the
arguments were made on the filing
of the special pleas by the defense,
The defense alleged that the evil
dence offered before the grand jury
was not legal, and upon that ground
sought to have the pleas filed. This
the state objected to, arguing that
the evidence was legal and proper,
and was of such character that the
indictments should have been found,
and to permit the filing Of the pleas
simply meant that a petit jury would
have to inquire into the action Of
the grand jury.
The defense also alleged that State
Fire Marshall Ellison had influenced
certain witnesses who appeared be
fore the grand jury, and in so doing
was acting without authority.
Col. Brown, representing the fire
marshal, insisted that the grand
jury was a body with unlimited pow
er, and while it only heard one side
of the testimony that it had the
right to secure whatever evidence
1t might deem necessary.
At the conclusion of the arguments
Judge Daley announced he would
render a decision this morning,
Throughout Monday, while court
was in session, the court room was
well filled, and this morning a much
larger crowd was in attendance. AT
ter the opinion had been rendered,
the grand jury was dismissed

RAP EDUCATION BOARD
Experts Say Methods Are Anti
uuated and Illegal.

The third section Of the report OF Pro
,essor Frank J. Goodnow. Of Columbia
University. and Or. Frederick c. Howe
director OF the Peoples Institute. on the
relation Of the Board OF Education TO the
city authorities was made public last
evening by the school inquiry committee
Of the Board OF Estimate.
The investigators charge that the De
partment OF Education has disregarded
the law and has unnecessarily hampered
the city By refusing 10 comply with the
requests OF the Board OF Estimate for In
formation relating 20 the school budget.
due mainly TO the fact that accounts and
records have not been kept properly. The
experts suggest:
That the Controller require the Board
OF Education 10 keep such accounts and
statistical records as will develop the in
formation desired by the Board Of Estl-
mate and
That II the present organization Of the
Board OF Education is not adequate to the
task imposed upon IL by such orders pro-
vision be made for such an organization.
The report urges the Controller TO APP
peal to the courts. If necessary. to COM
pei the Board OF Education 10 keep such
records II also recommends that he re-
fuse TO pass claims sent TO him by the
board which are not based on contracts,
as provided In the charter and which are
not in such form that they may be certi-
fed by the auditor OF the Finance Depart
nent.
The report also emphasizes that the
board has failed to furnish adequate in
formation as TO sites and buildings.
