GRAND JURY RIGHT
|. LIMITED BY COURT
Staples Case Ruling by JUS
tice Proctor Recalled in
Bonus Riot Probe.

The grand jury investigation of sthe
bonus disorder ordered by Attorney
General Mitchell recalled yesterday the
decision of Justice James M. Proctor of
District Supreme Court that grand
jurieS must indict or ignore, and that
they are limited entirely to these alter
natives in conducting an inquiry.
Justice Proctor'S ruling was handed
down last October when he ordered ex-
plunged from the records of the District
Supreme Court a special report of the
grand jury in the case of Orvil1e Staples
former policeman.
The report requested the restoration
to duty Of Staples. whom, it asserted,
had been framed" by perjured teSti-
mony by police officials presented to the
trial board which ousted him The re-
port also asked dismissal of Policeman
Joseph H. Hunt, who was charged with
aiding Frederick A. Schenck, a former
policeman, in obtaining the removal of
Staples. 1t also exonerated United
States Attorney Leo J. Rover and one
of his assistants of charges and innuen-
does that they had accepted money to
release a seized automobile and de-
clared the Police Department to be free
Of graft.
Denied Legal Status.
Holding the report had no legal status,
Justice Proctor suggested that the prac-
tice, grown up In recent years, should
be stopped and that grand jurieS should
not come to regard themselves rs "the
general regulators of the public well
fare"
The justice also hit at the principle
Of embodying yelled charges in such a
report.
The request to expunge the report was
made by Attorney Henry I. Quinn, rep
resenting Inspector Louis j. Stoll, who
investigated the Staples case and pre-
sented the evidence to the trial board,
and by Attorney Albert w. Jacobson,
counsel for Policeman Hunt.
Opinions Of the Court of Appeals of
Maryland and the District Court Of Ap-
peals were cited in support.
Held Exceeding Functions.
"It seems to me-" Justice Proctor said,
that the grand jury WIS acting entirely
beyond the scope of its functions in
making this report. There is no
statute in the District which broadens
the functions of the grand jury. I"
1T is far better in the public interest
that the grand jury confine its actions
within the limits CT its legal functions
Although it exonerates the district at
torney and members of his Office of
charges or innuendoeS, If the grand
jury has the right to step out of the line
of its duty and publicly declare some
thing favorable to an official CT citi-
zen, it would have the right to condemn
such official or person.
THE report makes serious charges
against Inspector Stoll. who, although
not named, is easily identified as pre-
pairing the Staples case. The men
named are in verse condition than if
they had been indicted, as they have no
means of making a defense to the
charges"

DEBTOR TO CREDITOR

Writes a debtor to a creditor:
please pardon us for not having
sent you remittance recently,
which is due entirely to the fact
that our business has been very
slow of late. However, you may rest
assured that we will reduce this ac-
count at the very first opportunity.
We have had letters from a large
number of our customers, who have
been with us for years, in reply to
an inquiry that we sent out. In near
ly every case they have compli-
mented us on our product and have
assured us that their orders would
be placed with us as soon as busi-
ness picks up. We mention this, as
we would be glad to show you cop
les of these letters, if the assurance
of our future business would be of
any interest to you. These are try
ing times, but we have every conf
dence in the future" This frank
ness and intelligence appeals very
to me. So many people
simply ignore collection letters and
ruin their credit standings. Here's
a man who finds out just where he
stands with his customers and
stands prepared to tell his creditors
that his future business is sound,
of that standing. It's a good
idea. Let's use tiff necessary.

FARM LIFE

It's mighty good to run farm
Far from the city's wild alarm,
But, Oh the men who tell us how
To do and what to do; men who
never saw COW
Except through glass as they pass
through town
20 hold a good sized salary down,
To eat and drink and talk and
smoke
And class the farmer as joke.
Now on these men we have line,
That on the farm they did not shine,
But grabbed the pen and chucked
the hoe
And thereby made a lot of dough.
We jokes eat chicken, pig and beef,
And bread made from our own
wheat sheaf,
And milk and apple pie and cake;
Ice cream and other things we
make,
But we are up long fore it's day
That we may get the milk away.
And after dark we all go round
To see that all is safe and sound;
Then say our prayers and go to bed,
But scarce the pillow SOotneS our
head
When we must grab our pants and
coat,
Skip down and chase the agile
shOat.
Then back we go to get some rest,
But ere we're more than half un-
dressed,
Outside we hear a strident shout:
Eyer COWS are out! Yer COWS are
out!"
Then down we go and get them in,
And make some fence and bark a
s1in.
And then we hear rooster crow
It's four O'Clock and we must go
And give the horses corn and hay.
And start in on another day.
Oh, yes, it's good to RUIZ farm
Far from the city's wiies that harm.
Our nights are short, our days are
long;
But we're on the job and going
strong.

TIMELY SUGGESTION

zone extra slice of bread a day
Will help to keep the wolf away"
Such is the advice of food author
tiles who share the benefit of their
experience with those who would
make their food dollars and dimes
go farther these days.
One of them is Joseph Wiltshire,
who became active in the food in
dustry in 1898, and who now, as
president of Standard Brands In
corporated, has "a years of study
upon which to draw for advice.
When asked what food is the most
nourishing, and at the same time
least expensive, he instantly replied
"Bread!"
There are fifty different kinds of
bread" he continued, land with
such variety we can make every
meal more interesting. Bread and
milk form an almost perfect meal,
and it would be hard to find
cheaper meal. Bread supplies the
most nourishment at the lowest cost
of any of our foods.
"In addition to helping our bod
les, the eating of bread helps the
rest of the country to break up the
depression. One extra slice of bread
a day for each person in the Nnited
States will mean sixty million more
bushels of wheat will be consumed
in year. That will help the farm
ers and manufacturers, and in turn
it will bring better business to all
of us. My advice is to eat more
bread, and to enjoy more different
kinds of bread"

ls a well-known fact that in the
bread line one doesn't hold out
for brooches rather than bran
bread, or prefer white bread to
rye.
But at breakfast the average
person isn't unusually hungry and
he is apt to need not only a fruit
juice to tempt the appetite but
some different foods to make the
main course interesting. Vary the
breads that you use and you will
-hnd it gives distinct personality
to the breakfast.
