 STATE COURT
Declares Supreme Court Has No Authority to
 Send Humes to Jail

SEATTLE, Oct. 19.-The Seat tie Daily Times quotes United States Senator c. c. Dill that the State Supreme Court Is without authority to jail Samuel J. Humes, State Highway Engineer, for contempt of court.
 There is no law giving the Supreme Court authority to jail man. The Court has no busi- ness interfering in purely State administrative matters. Humes could obtain his freedom in the Federal Court on writ of .ha- beas corpus in 15 minutes, said Senator Dill.
 Hnmes was arrested and is now in jail at Olympia as a re- suit of his refusal to deliver to the State Highway Commission some of the records seized by the Engineer last May when Gov. R. H. Hartley. member of the State Highway Commission, split with State Auditor Clausen and State Treasurer Potts. Humes claims the records are not in his possession.
