DBut little bus was transacted at the morn- ing session’ and but little during the after- noon, but in of the shortness of the of holding court some things which were of considerable interest to the spectators. The grand jury was em- paneled and Judge Woolson delivered his usual charge with refercnce to the way in which the members were to conduct them- selves, both in their deliberations and out After speaking at length with reference to the “bootlegging” cases and cautioning the Jurors against letting their views on prohi- bition, high license or mulct laws interfere with their returning indictments for offenses which the United S laws alone recog- nized, he said “A point In connection with pensions will probably be brought before you during this sesslon. The law provides that the transfer of a pension certificate is void, and that for any one to take it as security for a loan or other purpose is a misdemeanor punishable by a fine or imprisonment. The use of the mails Is also a matter which will come under your attention Obscene books, letters, papers, pictures and the like are unmailable and any onc using the mails for the transmission of such matter is committing an offense against the statutes of the United States Moreover, no letter or paper containing an announcement of any lottery, prize drawing or the like, no list of names of those drawing prizes, no lotter tickets, and no newspapers tending to spre the busin of such tteries can be sent through the mal To use the malls for the furtherance of any scheme which depends on lot or Is a violation of the laws. It has not been many this law was enacted, but the mails prostituted under the old law that congress recast the statute and made it prohibit under penalty almost every way of using the mails in which lot or chance figured at all. Lately there have sprung up what are com- monly called ‘investment companies,’ in which this element of lot or chance is the chief ingredient, in which prizes are dealt out by chance. ' Generally speaking, if you find_evidence that shows that private In- dividuals or companies have been delivering through the mails any advertisement, let- ters, or the like, concerning the drawing of prizes or payment of bonds, where the ele- ment of chance is involved as to the draw- ing of prizes, you must return indictments against them. ~ All who have been using the mails in any way for the purpose of defrauding have been violathg the law and it is your duty to indict them. “Finally, gentlemen, remember that you are holding your investigations secretly, and that what occurs hehind the doors of your Jury room should be kept to yourselves. I have sometimes found in the newspapers my first information as to the returning of an indictment or the discharge of some accused person. Information as to how any one votes in the jury room on any question whatever should not be told outside of the room, and it any one persists in questioning you upon any of the jury's business after being in- formed by you that the court has instructed you to keep silence, call upon.the court, as it has means of helping you in your difficulty.” The following are the gentlemen compos- ing the grand jury Ohio Kiox, Council Bluffs, forema; Rainbow, Macedonia; A.

Emmons of Manning had been summoned to act in the capacity of grand jurors, but they failed to material- dze. Judge Woolson quietly instructed the clerk to begin proceedings against them for contempt, and a hench warrant will un- doubtedly be issued against cach of them this morning unless thoy happen to see this a nouncement and get here before the court’s vials of wrath have a chance to explode. The cases of George H. Gable, John ifreese, S. P. Vannatta, J. B. Allen and J. B. Sweet, who are interested in the bond companies to which Judge Woolson made reference in the quotation from his instructions given ahove, will probably come up among the first of (he criminal cases, providing an indictmont is returned against them by the grand jury, and it is difficult to see how an indictment can fail of being returned in view of the sweeping character of the court’s instruc- tions, The defendante have announced their desire of having the cases disposed of as soon as possible, and the court fs willlng to accede to their wishes in the matter. term of court southern ness hours were done tes years since No Undertaker Need Appiy.

The printed journal showed that the bill had been referred to the com- mittee on insurance and thus sidetracked for the session, as under the ruling of the presiding officer it could not be reached again without a two-thirds vote. Upon investiga- tlon it was ascertained that this disposition of the bill had been made by Secretary Hutchins without any order from the senate to that effect, and after some sharp debate between Finn and Kelly the journal was corrected fn accordance with the facts and the bill made a special order for Thursday. As Secretary Hutchins is known to be opposed to all restrictive tnsurance legisla- tion, his apparent attempt to forestall the tion of the senate on this important matter 18 provoking a great deal of comment among the members The senate adopted Carpenter’s resolution providing for appointment of a sifting com- mittee of nine, to whom all bills should be reforred, pt appropriation bills, and no bills on the general file will be considered after March 31.
