JUDGE GOTHAM URGES BODY TO INVESTIGATE VIOLATIONS
 OF LIQUOR LAWS.
PETIT JURY NUT COMPLETE
Court Indicates That There is Gam bling Being Operated About City and Wants Grand Jury to Make h. Vestigation on That Line.


 morning outlined the work of the grand jury in no uncertain manner when he pointed to alleged violations and attractions of the laws that seem- ed to be from the rumors that had come to him, winked at by the off cials, or at least not sought out with enthusiasm by them. Particularly in this connection the court called attention to the viola tions of the law relative to the sale of intoxicating liquors, setting forth that 1t was apparent that the saloons were operating on Sunday. that liquors were sold at houses of prosti- tuition in the city without effort to stop it, and that at road houses out side the city drinks were sold at ran- dom.
 The court called the attention of the grand jury to an incident of only last week when d young countryman met his death from an injury received in house of prostitution operated by negroes in this city, and where liquors were sold without any appar- ent effort being made to stop the practice.
 In other parts of the charge of the court it seemed apparent that he had learned that saloons and other opera tions in violation of the liquor laws were doing so with the consent of of ficers.
 The grand and petit jury selections took up all the time of the first day of court, the grand jury being charg- ed at the morning session. but the petit jury had not been finished when court adjourned lasL night.

 Judge Gotham gave resume of his i last charge to the grand jury, which l had been called to investigate tae swindling cases growing out of crook ed gambling. He said that at that 1 time he stated a crisis had arrived in the affairs of Hot Springs and Gar land county. He said this resort was not the worst of its kind in the world; that there were others that would compare even more unfavor- ably with Hot Springs, and that since the last grand jury he had heard comment to the effect that the circuit court should cut down it's expenses. but stated that the grand jury should do its duty and try and save all ex- penses possible, but not at the cost of justice.
