UNDER NO ONES THUMB

The most interesting thing 10 me
was that the Indian reporters were
just as insistent, just as blunt in
their questions, as the American
or Chinese or the reporters from
the British dominions. 1t was
plainly evident that they are under
nobodys thumb. This is no brow
beaten press accepting journalistic
pabulum from an imperialistic
spoon.
Indian reporters are as free TO
ferret out the news as the report

efforts 10 search out the truth, and
they can demand the truth as
loudly as they like.

 The jury first was expected to re- turn the indictments before Christi mas, but numerous extra witnesses extended its hearings a week, while Atty Gen. Robert T. Bushnell pre- serted evidence bearing on "ore im- portant aspect" of the case.
 The hearing of testimony ended Tuesday and 1t was believed that yesterdays 1i-hour session was de- voted to an explanation of legal points by Bushnell and Dist.-Atty William J. Foley.
 Besides returning indictments, the jury was expected to issue a report in which a number of other persons will be charged with being "remiss" in their duties. It was understood this report would have no legal weight, but would recommend changes in city ordinances. building laws and inspection of night clubs and premises where liquor is sold.
