Grand Jury Will Continue
Probe Of Conduct In
Coast Bomb Cases.

san Francisco, cal, Dec. 2f-Attor-
ney general Z. S. Webb. whom Gov
Stephens placed in eahrge of the eoun-
ty grand jury's investigation into
charges recently made by John B.
Densmore. director general Of federal
employment. involving the district at
torney's conduct of the preparedness
day bomb explosion cases, expressed
his disapprovaI today Of secretary Of
labor W. &. Wilson's refusal to permit
.Densmore and other federal employees
to testify at the hearings.
Wilson Declines Request.
Densmore's report dealt largely
with the cases Of Thomas Mooney,
now serving life Imprisonment. and
Mrs. Rena Mooney, his wife, both of
whom were indicted for murder grow
ing out Of the bomb explosion AttOr-
ney general Webb said he greeted
with some surprise and regret" the
decision of secretary Wilson. made
public here yesterday. to decline the
request that Densmore appear before
the grand jury to explain and amplify
the charges contained in his report.
Says Report Inadmisslble-
The socailed DensmOre report,
said a statement issued by Webb, is
Missile in court or elsewhere nor in
the material which the report states
was taken from the wire by means Of
sound detecting devices"
Much of the Densmore report told
of telephone conversations between
district attorney Chas. N. Frickert,
who prosecuted the bomb cases. and
various public officials and other per-
sons. These conversations, the report
said, were overheard by means Of
tapped telephone wires
Wilson's Reasons.
Secretary Wilson declined to per-
nit DensmOre to appear as a witness
because Of an apparent connection
between the district attorneys office
and the grand jury" and the conclus-
ion of the department of justice that
it would not be compatible with the
public interest to make public, at the
present time. the manner in which the
United States government procured
its information nor the information
itself"
The grand jury Will continue its in

BUMPER WHEAT CROP
EXPECTED THIS YEAR
BOTH STATE AND NATION SHOW
BIG INCREASES IN JUNE
FORECAST.

A bumper wheat crop. this year,
which before harvest may develop
into a production of 1,0OO,O0O,OO
bushels, is forecast by the depart
ment of agriculture in it's June crop
report. giving the first indication of
the size of this years spring wheat
output.
Basing its estimate on June I con-
ditions, the department forecasts a
total wheat production of 931,0O0,-
900 bushels, which would place this
years harvest as the second largest
in the history of the country.
The total wheat crop of Washing
ton will be 43,900,0O0 bushels, an
increase of 24,682,OO0 bushels over
last year, E. T. Marchetti. field agent
of the federal bureau of crop esti-
mates, reports. The total wheat
acreage in the state Is given as g.
$4,000, as compared with a four
year average Of 100000.
The large increase in estimated
production is in spring wheat, with
33,4OO,00O bushels estimated, as
compared with 1S,360.0OO bushels
last year. Winter wheat shows a
falling Off, with 10,5O0.0O0 bushels,
compared with 10,858,000 in 1917.

silver law is responsible for the pres
ent unsettled financial status, that
its repeal is absolutely necessary for
the welfare and prosperity of the
country, and that the failure of the

will precipitate general financial
panic.

WOMEN MAY HANDLE CARS.
Test Case to he Made of Experiment
ON Vancouver Street Railways.

Whether women may be employed
on street cars In this state may be de-
cided definitely soon, the public serv-
ice commission having permitted the
railway company at Vancouver,
Wash, to employ them pending a
hearing If protests should be made.
Some months ago the commission
ruled on this question, rejecting a
petition of the Stone Webster COM
pany to employ women in that ca
pacity. Since that decision, doubt
has arisen as to whether the COM
mission can legally prevent the en-
ployment of women in this fashion,
so the Vancouver experiment has
been arranged as test case.
