May Call Grand
Jury In Fallon
Judge Hart Seriously Considers Such
Procedure; Would Like Express
sion From People
MISTAKEN IDEA" REGARDING
GRAND JURY SYSTEM HE SAYS
Favors Plan Adopted by Elko Coun-
ty Jury to Appoint Special OFF,
Ger to Work independently

Il am seriously considering the
calling of a grand jury in Churchill
county" said District Judge T. c.
Hart, when asked as to the possi-
bility of such procedure. At the re-
quest of a number of people, Judge
Hart said, he had called jury In
Lyon county and was inclined to
take similar action in Churchill
county"
Il hesitate to act until have had
an expression of opinion from rep
resentative citizens of Fallon and of
the county" he added. "As a rep
resentative of the people. an officer
should seriously consider the cost
before calling on the people for any
considerable expenditure of money"
is his opinion.
Judge Hart stated that the esti-
mated cost of a grand jury would be
FIVE hundred dollars at least, and
that it is frequently doubtful wheth-
er or not it will accomplish any real
good.
Consequently, although, 1t is in
the power of a district judge to call
jury without any request from the
people, 1t is preferable that there be
some such action from representa-
tive organizations.
Judge Hart stated that he had
been requested by representatives
of five organizations in Lyon coun-
ty to call a grand jury there to in
vestigate the enforcement of the
prohibition laws. The judge grant
ed the request and summoned the
jurors. The jury will convene on
Thursday, February 23rd, he added
Judge Hart expressed himself as
favorably considering the idea of
calling for a grand jury and stated
that if he did it would probably be
within a few days and would be con-
vened Immediately following the ad-
journment of the Lyon county jury,
about the first of March.
Explains Jury System
"a number of people have a mis-
taken idea concerning grand jur-
ies," in Judge Hart's opinion. In
reality a grand jury can do nothing
that the duly elected officers of the
city and county can do, If they
conscientiously serve the people.
Prior to the amendment, ten years
ago, of the grand jury laws. it was
necessary that an indictment be re-
turned by the grand jury before
man could be prosecuted for any
offense, the judge explained. The
law was then changed so that prose-
cution could be commenced on the
filing of charges by the district at
torney.
| In that manner there is little left
/ for the grand jury to. do, If the Of
/ ficers are functioning properly. He
added, however, that the district at
torney was only supposed to prose-
cute the case after the evidence had
been furnished to him.
Favors Elko Plan
Judge Hart stated that he favor
ed the plan adopted by the Elko
county grand jury which provides
| for the appointment of a special
prohibition officer to work independ-
emily of the city and county peace
officers. The officer is to be ap-
pointed under the state police act
authorizing additional officers which
are to be paid by the county, ac-
cording to telegram to the Stand
ard from the Elko Independent.

Village Buys Current from Clyde
River Co.

Owing to low water and an unprec-
edented increase in the use of cleo
trio current by the customers Of the
Barton electric plant amounting to
more than 20@o in the past year, it
has been necessary for the Barton
plant to buy current from outside
sources to supply all the needs of its
customers and give the usual excel
lent service which the plant has Civ
en- in the past.
An arrangement was therefore con-
cluded with the Clyde River Power
company Saturday whereby connec-
ton with their lines was made Sun
day and users of Barton current have
since found the voltage up and re
suits satisfactory. The connection is
temporary one and it is hoped water
sufficient to generate all current fol
our own needs will soon be available
1t is certain, however, that tne
capacity Of the Barton plant is about
reached until certain changes have
been made. Further demand for pow
er is the natural expectation and The
future policy of the village is one
which is of concern to all. The mat
ter demands the best thought ant
closest attention.

VERMONT NOTES

J. Earl Thompson, 26, son of Mr..
and Mrs. John M. Thompson of ST.

PLUMLEY TALKS TO so MEN
Men of Barton Congregational Parish
Eat and Listen.

About 80 men and young men were
present at the mems supper at the
Congregational church Wednesday
evening of last week and every one
of the so seemed to enjoy the gener-
Gus servings of chicken pie and soft
pies which the committee in charge
had provided. The only assistance
from the women of the parish in the
entire undertaking was the home
baking. At the church the kitchen
work, serving and all was done by
the men and boys of the parish, and
let it be said it was done in splendid
shape.
Following the feed, F. D. Thomp-
son, chairman of the committee, intro
duced Charles a. Plumley of North
field, president of Norwich university,
as speaker of the evening. Mr..
Plumley has had a wide experience,
having served in the Vermont House
and Senate, been a resident of Wash
ington as clerk, served as Vermont
tax commissioner, was special tax
representative of the Firestone Rub
Der Co., of Akron, o., and is now
president of Norwich university.
Mr.. Plumley took for his subject,
yesterday and Tomorrow" His de-
velopment of the subject showed a
SOOO IAl1IO anu lilo WlNC GADSIlCiC6
has given him much material to draw
from in presenting a subject. It was
distinctly a development of the
thought that the world needs the
teachings of Jesus. He said, "You
cannot improve upon the Ten Com
mandments, the Sermon on the Mount,
or modify the truths of justice, right
eousness and mercy which they teach.
1t is about time we give up trying
to do this"
In speaking of the great changes
| which have come to the world and
wonders of the age, such as wireless,
cross continental telephone communi-
cation, airplanes, ETC., Mr.. Plumley
said we accepted them as matters of
fact and adapt ourselves to them,
"when, however, some simple ques-
tion arises as to a necessary change
to be made in a church ritual or Gus
tom or disciplinary rule, to make it
conform to the common and accepted
usage among the best people of the
land, we arise in our might, oppose
the innovation, start a factional fight
that would not only disrupt but de-
stroy any other organization, and
then wonder why those of the young
er generation feel they can do fully
as much for Christianity outside as
in the church"
His final thought, however, was
that the tendency was upward for the
race and that the world was growing
better; that materialism, the wor-
ship of efficiency, the glorifcation Of
magnitude, numbers and size were
at their height and that there was
new cropping for the eternal truth,
that service was more and more q
watchword of the day and new heights
were to be attained.
Mr.. Thompson closed the meeting
by explaining the work that had been
done on the church in the past year
and work that was needed in the i'm
mediate future and passed pledge
cards for the support of the church
for 1928. 1t was announced that the
expenditure OH the church edifice dur
ing the past year had been about
$500, and that $500 more should be
spent next year in paint and other
repairs. There is only a very small
current debt at preser,t.

Judge Miles Does Not Seek Re-
election.

Mr. Editor:
| wish to announce through your
paper that I have decided not to stand
for reelection to the Office of justice
of the Supreme Court of Vermont
Having been continuously at the Bar
or on the Bench for a little more than
so years, feel justified in taking a
vacation during the remainder of my
life.
In taking this step 1 do not intend
to separate myself from the society
and companionship of my legal
brethren, with whom the greater
part of my life has been spent; but
my purpose is to simply lay down the
wear and tear of the work connected
with that business.
Sincerely yours,
Willard w. Miles.
