Of Attorney General LANCER and of it's
own volition returned an indictment
charging the Consumers United

This action was taken Monday af-
ternOon while the attorney general
was explaining to the court certain al
legged defects in some of his indict
ments. The grand jury had devoted
teveral days to an investigation Of
charges preferred by the attorney
general against local banks and in
dividuals for alleged contributions for
political purposes. Under the direc-
ton of the attorney general, the gran6
jury has returned indictments against
two banks and against a solicitor for
receiving the funds. Then, while FIR.
LANCER was occupied in court. the
grand jury undertook al investigation
on its own responsibility.
The jurors called before then sever
al witnesses who had bought certifi-

ed that the very statements made by
the attorney general as to the pro-
visions of law applicable to contribu-
tions by corporations applied directly
and without question to the Consum-

LANCER could return to direct the de-

it had drawn UP and passed sweep.
ing indictment charging the Consum-

that everything invested in local
store in excess of $4,000 shall be
placed at the disposal of the National
Nonpartisan league. a political organ

propaganda.
AS soon as the possibility of such an
indictment leaked out, the attorney
general rushed down the street to the
opera house. where the grand jury
was in session, but he arrived too late
to prevent the presentment OF the In

The sinking occurred at a. M.
