State Department Accused
In REPORT of Grand Jurors

charges It's inspectors were guilty
of unlawful acts or that the board
itself was discriminatory in issuing
licenses and regulating liquor
sales.
Recommends Study
The jury said II did not want
to launch a wide investigation Of
the public service department be-
cause that body was engaged in a
statewide phone rate hearing.
II recommended, however. q
study be made by the attorney
general of the practice of con-
tracing with court reporters to
cover departmental hearings.
In closing its report, the jury
said II "as an institution has been
on trial in Thurston county" II
said 1t recognized the danger Of
appearing to set itself up as an
authority on governmental pro-
cedure and practices. 1t has rea-
liked that wherein its findings
touched upon political theories
ii risked charges OF political
motivation"
Suggests Remedy
The jury said the only way to
solve the costly practices in state
government was to reorganize the
many state departments to elm
mate duplication.
II said a budget control agency
should be set up. independent Of
any other state department. with
officials holding 10 to 15-year
terms. free OF political control,
removable only for cause and act
ing as agents Of the legislature.
not the executive division.
Such agency. 1t recommended,
should keep touch with revenues,
80 that departments would not
spend all the amounts appropri-
ated for them unless actual rev.
enues in the treasury were suffi-
cient to meet those obligations.
Lists Expenses
The jury said it spent total
of S27,130 since it went to work
April 10, 1899. of which $6,09s
was for Jurors salaries, $16, 1852
for Investigators, $3.50 for food,
S737 for witness fees and 1892
for bailiffs.
Recommendations by the jury in
its various reports on state de-
partments already have brought
about economies which will save
500, 000,. the jury said. 1t said
the true value Of its work was
''in the possibility that its DELHI
erations may have set in motion
a movement which will, at its con-
clusion, produce a more solid, more
stable and more efficient state
government"

REPORT DAVIES
Is IMPROVING

Marked improvement in the con-
dition Of Don Davies. young Ia
coma police officer. gave physi-
clans hope Of saving his life Wed
nesday.
The popular patrolman rallied
amazingly to new drug, admin
istered when physicians had given
up almost all hope.
DR.. G.. A. Moosey reported that
Davies had been restored to full
consciousness and was able to talk
nationally. He asked for soda
pop, and the request was granted"
the physician said.
Davies. a national guard first
sergeant, was injured accidentally
at the armory a week ago when
the tip of a g1iidon lance pene-
trated between the eye-socket and
bridge OF his nose and into the
brain. Meningitis infection re-
suited. Taken to Tacoma General
hospital Saturday. he grew rapidly
worse, and attendants reported he
was near death.
Davies still Is in serious condi-
ton. but Ii was believed his youth
and strength would be q factor in
his recovery.

TACOMA BUILDER
SIGNS With Clio

William J. King. Tacoma con-
tractor, Tuesday night signed a
contract with Tacoma local of
United Construction Workers Or
ganizing Committee (CIO), Harry
Mast, president of the local, re-
vealed Wednesday.
Said Mast in a statement:
For the past two years build
ing and construction workers have
been after the CLIO to organize in
their field, but it was not until
last August that actual organizing
began.
"Since that time close to q
hundred contractors have signed
with UCWOC in this state alone.
I'VE believe we have the best
contract ever offered the building
industry. The wages are as high
or higher than the prevailing
scale, but the contractor is saved
money by elimination of separate
crafts, as all trades are sent out
from the same hall.
Tacoma has a signed list of
500 skilled and semi-skilled
laborers covering all branches of
the building industry, and grow
ing steadily"

FEARS RELATED

Detectives were sent to the
neighborhood by Detective Captain
Cliff Osborne TO search for the
heavy instrument.
Police disclosed that Miss Rifle
assertedly feared" Hampson, as
she had been escorted home nightly
by a former police officer, who
acted as her protector.
Tuesday night, the former po-
lice officer, W. A. Robertson, did
not accompany Miss Rifle home.
Detectives said that q further
search of Hsmpson's car revealed
~ rifle and a box Of shells hid
dem back of a cushion.

OFFICERS INVESTIGATE

Detectives. however, expressed
doubt in his story, for, they said,
they found the motor and radiator
of his automobile warm, indicating
1t had been in use but short time
prior to their arrival.
Later, Deputy Prosecutor De-
Witt Rowland and Deputy Sheriff
Lyle Lathrop went to Fife TO aid
in the investigation.
Rowland and Lathrop brought
to police headquarters a suit found
in Hampson's quarters, which, they
said, had blood stains on one leg
of the trousers. They were unable
to find any trace of blood in
Hampson's car. causing the pair
to express belief the weapon used
in the attack might have been dis
carded in the neighborhood Of the
Rifle home.
