CORONER'S BILL
Accepts Report of Commit
tee on Coroner Friends
Inquests Claim.
RAISE ONE QUESTION

Heavy death toll exacted on Keno
sha during the past zen months by
auto crashes and by crimes was re-
flected this morning in the claim Of
Coroner Joseph Friend for inquest
fees allowed by the county board Of
supervisors on the recommendation Of
the committee of inquests. The claim
was for total of $2,269.15, of which
amount $993.90 was for coroner's fees,
S156.67 for expenses of the coroner
anu $1,118.58 for payment of wit
nesses, jurors and others who took
part in formal inquests carried on
by the county.
The claim was for the work Of the
coroner from January 1st to November
LIST. 1t showed that during that time
he was employed 1876 days in the work
and had claim for 1859 miles Of
mileage in conducting the business
of the office.
In seperate claim, the coroner had
asked the board to consider claim
for $25 for the clearing of wreckage
from the highway and railway right
of-way at he time of the accident
when four people were killed at the
North onOre crossing or the Blrcn
road. Supervisor Wicks, chairman of
the inquest committee, presented the
report of the committee not to allow
this claim, maintaining that in the
past this had not been construed as
the work of the county.
Coroner Friend appeared before tho
board and explained thai he baS
learned since the accident that he ha~
overstepped his authority in directing
that the highway be cleared, but at
the time he had felt that it was in
cumbent to clear the highway to pre-
vert further accidents. He showed
a readiness to stand the expense
himself, requesting the board not to
allow the claim.
Some members of the board, how.
ever, felt that the coroner should not
be compelled to stand this expense
and by vote of IL to rejected
the report Of the committee and by
unanimous action voted to allow this
claim as well.

Investigated thee harges, as required by
court martial regulations.
'If Colonel Mitchell had been guilty
of any offense," Mr.. Reid said lit
should have been charged by his COM
manding officer at that time-Major
General Ernest Kinds, in charge Of the
eighth corps area at San Antonio.
"The record does not show that Gen
eral Kinds, or Brigadier General Rock
enbach, commanding the district of
Washington. thought any crime had
been committed.
"Where then does this strange power
come from that stretches out over these
two commands? 1t does not come
from the officers under whom Colonel
Mitchell served in Texas or on whose
jurisdiction he is at present"
Colonel Sherman Moreland, for the
prosecution, replied that it was not re-
ouired under the court martial regula-
tions that either General Kinds or
General Rockenbach actually bring the
charges.
"This is a presidential court said
Colonel Moreland There is no re-
quirement that the regulations shall be
