SQUABBLE
IS IN SIGHT
OVER JURIES
Prosecutor JasnOwski
Determined to Call
One of His Own

Detroit. which has been without
a grand jury for many yesrs--SaVe
the regular federal grand jury. Is
now likely to have two at once. III
not that. a battle over who has the
risht TO institute regular. yard
wide grand jury, is In prospect.
Judge Connolly. city recorder, has
ordered a grand Jury drawn Thurs
day morning. to consider charges
made against the board Of education
ard the administration OF the build
ing commission. His order was
made last Saturday. In Il he an
nounced that the Jury would also
take up such other matters as
might properly come before the
body. That is regarded as meaning
the FIRE on woodward-ave. in which
I'VE fremen loet their lives. and
election frauds perpetrated in the
city.
Tuesday morning Prosecuting A.
torney Jasnowski announced that
be would have a grand jury called
BY the circuit court 10 handle the
very matters that Judge connolly's
jury In called for. and that he would
start proceedings In the supreme
court Of the state 90 stop the re-
corders jury. He said there was
no use OF everybody having a grand
jury. but that he would have one
anyway. He figured that the cir
cult court grand jury would be A
better one than the recorders court
grand jury.
Meanwhile, the men who are re-
sponsible for having a grand jury
called, Aid. George " Ross and
James II. Pound, say they are 20
inc ahead with the recorders grand
jury.
The prosecutor said he would
probably ask the supreme court for
writ OF prohibition TO prevent
Judge ConnoIly's jury from being
impaneled on tho ground that this
Jury would not have SUFFICIENT power
In any event he says he will have
a grsnd jury OF his own TO consider
matters in Wayne county outside OF
Detroit Il Is expected that the
drawing Of the grand Jury on Judge
Connolly's order will proceed with
out delay. Mr. Jasnowski says his
Jury will not be called until April
The jury commission had a ses-
sion Tuesday morning and picked a
list OF 80 names from which at
least 10 will be picked in recorders
court Thursday morning 20 serve on
the jury. The list is said 20 be tho
list OF the most prominent men IN
the city, but II has not been al.
vulged. According 20 the Jury com
mission the names Of the men on

FOR WEAK KIDNEYS

A medicinal preparation like DIR. Kill
mer's Swamp Root, that has real curative
value almost sells itself, Like an endless
chain system the remedy is recommended
by those who have been benefited to those

DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is a physi-
clans prescription. 1t has been tested
for years and has brought results to count
less numbers who have suffered.
The success of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root
is due to the fact that it fulfills almost ev-
cry wish in overcoming kidney, liver and
bladder diseases, corrects urinary troubles
and neutralizes the uric acid which causes
rheumatism.
