The fight this morning was clearly
and entirely on technical grounds and,
according to- Mr.. Andrews, II was a
case of "technica alities run rife" The
first point raised in obiecting to the
Indictment was That the mere recital
that the revolver held by the defend
ant was loaded with gun powder and
leaden bullets was not sufficient to
indicate that the weapon was ''obFi-
ously and imminently dangerous to
life" Attorney @ w ashford. who.
argued the demurrer Tor the defendant
declared that the indictment should
have gone on to say that the revolver
was mechanically capable of being dis
charged, as broken pistol, though
loaded with the powder and bullets,
was not obviously and imminently

MIEHLSTEIN
Is ACCUSED
OF GRAF TING
Building and Plumbing Inspec-
tor Charged With Taking a
"Rake- off" on Market Job
CONTRACTOR MAY TAKE THE
MATTER TO GRAND JURY
Attack Is Unfair and Great Sur
prise to Me, Says Accused
Plumbing inspector

Joseph J. Miehlstein, building and
plumbing inspector of the city and
county, may be called before the board
OF supervisors at a secret session to
testify to the part he has played in the
Improvement work being done at the
fish markets.
At caucus of the board OF super
visors yesterday morning, when 1t
met TO prepare the budget for the
coming semi-annual period, serious
charges were made against Miehl-
stein on information received by Su-
peryisor M C. Pacheco The latter as
serted that he had been informed that
the building and plumbing inspector
is receiving fee amounting to seven
and one-half per cent of the cost of
the improvement work being done at
the fish markets as supervising ar
chitfct, and IN addition to this is re-
ceiving two and one-half per cent as a
commission from the materialmen.
Supervisor Pacheco informed the
board that one of the contractors on
the job has asserted he will bring the
matter before the territorial grand
jury, and ask that a thorough investi.
cation be made into Miehlsttin's con-
nection with this work. As building
and plumbing Inspector the latter is
required to pass on the Improvement
when they are completed, and, says
Supervisor Pacheco, he is supposed to-
do 90 impartially as disinterested
public official
The board received the accusations
against Miehlste;n with obvious sur
prise. and later different supervisors
intimated they would give Miehlsteir
chance to explain them away

attention first from plumber, and

the question of doing away with an

Diamond Head is Government quar-

quarantine station tho people of
western Washington were good enough
to raise no protest. They did not
