government is making heavy transfers

Some troops are reported to have
been moved to the western front, but
this is not necessarily significant.
German newspapers discuss with
suspicious frankness the prospect Of
an offensive on the Saloniki front, but
have never a word to say about the
obvious chance Of a smashing blow at
Roumania in an effort to end the re.
sistance of that nation. AS for Italy,
if the Austrians and Germans find the

London, Nov. 20.-Serious rioting
took place in Berlin last Sunday, &C

Wireless Press, and the Exchange
Telegraph Co., from Amsterdam.
One message says the fighting be-
tween the mob and police was fierce,
and hatSthere were heavy casualties
as the police used their firearms. An
other says the military and police
were called upon to oppose the prog

demonstration. In the riotOus scenes
which followed the police were forced
to fire with their rifles and revOlvers
and the organizers of the meeting re-

PETITIONS FOR
GRAND Jury IN
!. COURT s HANDS
Requests Containing Signatures Of
300 Taxpayers Filed with
Judge Nuessle Monday. 49,.
NO INTIMATIoN GIVEN AS
TO ACTION TO BE TAKEN

Petitions containing the signatures
of 800 Burleigh county taxpayers de-
manding the calling Of grand jury
were FLEA with Judge w. L.. Nuessle
tof the Sixth judicial district court
Monday evening by Harry A. Thomp-
son, former fire chief Judge Nuessle
received the petitions without COM
ment, giving no indication as to what
his action would be.
Under the North Dakota statutes
any one OF three methods may be
adopted in calling grand jury. 1t
may be impaneled by order OF the
district judge at any term of court,
or it may be ordered impaneled by
the county board of commissioners.
or it may be called upon petition Of
not less than ten per cent of the tax
payers Of the county. The last
named method has been adopted in
this instance. Petitions were placed
in circulation two weeks ago, and
the number of signatures obtained is
said to be we'll in excess of the re-
quirements.
Optional or Obligatory.
Those primarily interested in the
circulation of these petitions claim
that they make the calling of grand
jury obligatory on the part of Judge
Nuessle. Some 1t is understood hold
on the other hand, that the matter re-
mains optional with Judge Nuessle.
The latter gave no intimation yester-
day as to whether jury would be
called. The petitions were filed with
him late Monday afternoon, and early
this morning the Judge left for Wash
burn to finish the Mclean county
term of district court.
What Grand Jury Is.
A grand jury may consist of not
less than 16 nor more than % free
holders. 1t is impaneled in the same
manner as petit jury, names being
drawn by lot from list selected by
the county auditor. The jury may sit
ten days unless recalled to sit until
it's business is completed, and its in
vestigatory powers are almost un-
limited. The states attorney is ex-
pected to work with the grand jury.

county district court denying Shaw a
writ of prohibition restraining his re-
moval by Governor Frazier for alleged
laxness developed in the recent Magic
City vice raid.
Assistant Attorney Daniel V. Bren,
nan, representing the governor. urged
that the removal statute need not
mention by name the president of a
city commission, inasmuch as it gives
the governor jurisdiction over the
president of city commission as q
police officer. police officers being
specifically mentioned in the act. The
president of a city commission, ar
gued Brennan, is police officer. not
only the head of the city police force
by right of office. but endowed With
especial and particular police powers
not peculiar to mayor.
He also argued that the charges
brought against Shaw are amply SUI
ticient to give the governor jurisdic

removal act Is constitutional and valid
in every particular.
The entire day was occupied in the
arguments and summing up Of Judge
