Twenty eight thousand dollars was

an effort to prevent tho removal of
the duty on sugar. The cost to the
nation was the amount stated above.

expended in postage Twenty-t
thousand dollars represented the loss
in postage caused by the use OF Sena-

leading beet sugar lobbyist regards the

GRAND JURY TO
INVESTIGATE The
CRAFT CHARGES
Inquiry Into Allegations Against
Sheriff o. L. Bruner Started
This Afternoon.
EVIDENCE TURNED OVER
Supervisors Committee Gives Up Hope
Of Having Special States
Attorney Named.

The grand jury this afternoon began
an inquiry into the sherif's office.
This action followed the action of the
special investigating committee of SUI
pervisors, who appeared before the
grand jury this morning and turned
over to that body all the information
and testimony bearing on the alleged
graft, which was in its possession as
the result of its weeks of investiga-
ton. Yesterday Chairman George H.
Richmond of the supervisors and
States Attorney F. E. Thompson con-
ferred and Mr.. Thompson requested
the committee to come forward with
any evidence 1t had bearing on the
charges made against Sheriff o. l..
Bruner The committee decided to
acquiesce, apparently having given up
the hope that the circuit court would
see fit to appoint special prosecutors
to take charge of the investigation, SUI
perseding Mr. Thompson.
The latter stated today that it had
been his intention and that Of the
grand jury to conduct an inquiry into
the matter, and in case the committee
having refused to give him the infor-
nation it had gathered, to call in wit
nesses and secure new evidence. 1t is
very probable that witnesses will be
called anyway
CORONER NAMES DEPUTY.
This latter supposition is strength
ened by the fact that States Attorney
Thompson and Coroner R. c. ]. Meyer
appeared before Judge Olmsted this
morning and asked that an order be
entered in his docket authorizing the
appointment by the coroner of two
deputies to aid him in the discharge
of his duties. The judge complied and
the order was at once entered. Cor
oner Meyer thereupon had Cornelius
Donovan of South Rock Island sworn
/ in as a deputy, Circuit Clerk G. W.
Gamble administering the oath.
Inasmuch as the statute provides
that the coroner shall serve sum-
mOnses or papers in cases wherein the
sheriff is or is thought to be interest
ed, the naming of deputy by the cor
oner seems to point to a purpose on
the part of the grand jury to call in
sheriff's deputies and other who can
throw additional light on the graft
charges.
