well settled that the proceedings
before a grand jury must be
kept strictly secret and that no
information must be given out
pending their deliberation of the
matters brought before them. A
grand juror who violates his oath
of secrecy and oath taken in
qualifying as a grand juror, is in
contempt of this court, and sub
ject to a severe fine or imprison-
ment, or both fine and imprison-
ment.
While you are organized by
this court as grand jury you
are not under the direction of
the court of the state attorney.
You are an institution within
yourself. This court stands ready
to advise you publicly, while the
state attorney is available to you
for counsel and advice in matters
of law, and he is at your service
in the matter of procuring wit
nesses for your examination and
the drafting of presentments, in
dictments and reports pursuant
to your wishes and as an aid in
discharging your duties.
II ann advised that an offense
involving capital punishment has
been committed in this county
since the discharge of the last
grand jury in this court and
county. @ n
These you will investigate.
The state attorney informs me
that his witnesses are all mere,
and he is familiar with their
testimony and can present it to
you in a very short time.
The court charges you that in
the investigation of the violation
of laws of Florida committed in
this county you should not sum-
mon TO come before you and tes-
tify in such case the accused I'M
der investigation, because to do
SO would be highly improper,
even though the accused may be
willing to testify.
In as much as this court tries
only capital cases, the suggestion
is made to the grand jury that it
confine its activities largely to
such cases: / do not mean by that
that you have not the right 10
investigate cases not capital. but
all such cases not capital are
more or less investigated and
tried By inferior courts.
i hope you viii speedily be
able 20 dispose of such matters
as come to your attention, with
out undue delay. for il must be
remembered that although some
of you may be able 10 spare the
tirue from your business. yet
there are other members Of your
body who are making sacrifice
in rendering this pubiicc service
Gentlemen you may retire =
A short while after the Judge
had read his charge and the jury
had retired TO the jury room, the
members decided to resume their
investigation this afternoon and
left the court house to return al
2 O'Clock.

RAIL BANKRUPTCY

Harrison Proposal Would
Allow Lines to Reach
Settlement on $3.50.

By the Associated Press.
CINCINNATI, May 14.-A bill to
obviate proceedings under section 77-B
Of the National Bankruptcy Act for
railroads in financial difficulties was
laid before the Senate Interstate Com
merce Committee in Washington to-
day.
George M. Harrison. member Of
President Roosevelt's Advisory Com
mittee on Railroads. announced here
that he had sent Senator Burton K.
Wheeler, chairman of the Senate
group, preliminary draft Of the pro-
posed legislation for any necessary
revision and then introduction into
Congress.
Under the proposed voluntary plan
which Mr.. Harrison said he discussed
in principle with President Roose-
velt two weeks ago, railroad could
certify to a Federal district court
that it had reached an agreement
with creditors representing IS per
cent Of its debts and then file a re-
organization plan to become effective
when approved by the rest of its
creditors.

fided Mr. Hylan to the stranger, "and
you are now health commissioner Of
New York City" Never was there such
a glamorous guardian Of the public
health. He held daily clinic on
all the front pages, writing on how to
get thin or fat with equal facility.
He denounced the high cost of dying,
antagonizing the undertakers, fellow
physicians and dealers in medical
supplies.
Whenever his headlines grew anemic
he summoned the star reporters to his

European plague would arrive at a
North River pier by the next ship.
The plague never arrived, but the
headlines did. On and OF the

BILL GRANTS DELAY
ON RAIL YARD SPAN
King Measure Puts Off Start
on Northeast Traffic Lane
tn 1910

The beginning Of construction on
new highway bridge over the rail-
road yards from Brentwood road and
T street NE to New York avenue
NE would be postponed until October,
1910. by a bill introduced in the Sem
ate late yesterday by Chairman King
of the Senate District Committee.
The new measure calls for completion
l8 months after that date
A law was passed in 1885 requiring
the Baltimore &, Ohio Railroad and
the Philadelphia, Baltimore g. WASH
ington Railroad Co. to construct the
bridge within two years after being
notified by the Commissioners to start
work. The time limit under the no
tice given by the Commissioners will
expire the latter part of this year.
The proposed structure would open
up new traffic lane across the North
east section of the city. This measure
probably will be considered along with
number Of other subjects when the
Senate District Committee meets next
week.

had lost or gained flesh under his

DR.. Copeland's political weight. So
did the dairy interests whose products
he had been recommending in his
articles as essential to
health. In 1928 and 1894 they also
rallied around him. He has always
been . surprisingly strong cam
paigner. once polling more upstate
votes than the gorgeous AL Smith
himself.
At Washington he has become .
more effective figure than most peo-
pie realize. He reveals an amazing
grasp OF legislative details and, as
chairman Of the Interstate and For
eign Commerce Committee, he usually
wrests from Congress the approba-
tions and measures he wants.
Patient, pertinacious, immune to
insults, he rarely antagonizes his
colleagues. His Babbitt tendencies
often irritate them, but they wind up
TRADE against him with the con-
clusion: You can't help liking the
good old Doc"
He is the f1libusterer par excellence.
Whereas other Senator's windmill their
arms and irritate their throats in des-
ultory declamations, the doctor drones
along without raising his voice, with
out losing his temper or increasing
his temperature, without any strain on
his throat or glands. He is hygienic
rather than hysterical.. a physical and
political asset these days.

Lehman as Governor OF New York. 1t
was obviously premeditated snub for
Senator Copeland, who was also up for
reelection. When the correspondents
asked the President whether his pro-
nouncement also referred to the Sem

resentful tone that 1t did not. 1t was
not until "a hours later that Mr..

TT IS the fashion to belittle DR..
Royal S. Copeland as the patent
medicine man Of American poll
L tics. Both the politicos and the
medicos Of his Siamese professions
decry-and envy-him for his bedside
manner and his radio recipes, and
for having evolved the most concise
yet profitable platform in medical and
political history; namely, a publicized
love of babies and hatred OF bacteria.
He does, in some aspects, provoke
amusement rather than admiration.
Nevertheless, New York's blithe and
boutonniered Senator exhibits the
hardihood expected of the old-fash-
ioned, horse e-and-buggy country doc
tor in his defiance of President who
halls from his home State Even when
Doctor" Roosevelt swept along at the
peak Of his popularity, the Senator
doctor shifted at his economic pre-
scriptions and pronounced them bad
medicine" for the American people.
Circumstances appear to confirm his
diagnosis, and he may yet win back
the political patients he lost when he
set himself up as a more experienced
practitioner than his White House
rival.
DR.. Copeland has frowned upon al
most every major Rooseveltian rem
edy, especially those dealing with la
Dor and economic ailments, whereas
New York's other Senator-Robert F.
Wagner-sat up nights with the Pres
ident to roll the pills which agonized
the political physicians. 1t is doubt
full II any two men disagreed so utterly
on New Deal nostrums. Therefore
their fate when they face the voters
Mr.. Wagner next fall and DR.. Cope

test Of the New Deals efficacy and
popularity on the home grounds.
Headline Hunter.
DR.. Copeland labors under no illu-
sions. He realizes that he has under
taken the unpopular role, that he has
prescribed distasteful remedies which
his patients have not appreciated. But
he firmly believes that when the re-
form fever has subsidized and sick folks
Temperatures have dropped to normal,
they will thank him for having or
dered castor oil instead Of a hypoder-
mic.
He would be a rash man who would
venture to predict the future of such
a Senator-or the fate of his enemies.
He has, it appears. made every politi-
cal mistake possible. and yet his blum
ders have benefited him. Such diverse
personalities as the late John F. Hy-
Ian. William Randolph Hearst, AL
Smith, and even Franklin D. Roose-
welt himself. have. knowingly or un-
knowingly, showed him up the ladder
to which he now clings more tena-
ciously than any man except the Pres
ident himself.
He got his start in public life when,
during the 1918 "f1u" epidemic, he
walked into Mayor Hylan's office with
practical political and medical sug-
