On January 16, 1922, the city health department received a let- ter from W. 0. Woods, chief of the finance bureau, Washington, D. C., acknowledging the receipt of the check indorsed by Sulli- van. This letter was found last week on the police secretary's desk, so that the fact that the check had not been cashed must have been brought to Captain attention.

It has put up to Malcolm Douglas the big- gest job a prosecutor here ever faced. If Douglas shows the fighting qualities that he displayed in France, he can work a revolution in county affairs. The grand jury charges there was fraud and graft in the ferry deal, just as The Star charged a year ago. It names three county commissioners, Capt. Ander- son and two of his associates as the cul- prits. In additiom to indicting these men for grand larceny, the jury calls upon the prosecutor to cancel the ferry lease thru civil proceedings and take steps to recov- er from the individuals any sums of which the county has been wrongfully deprived. THIS ALONE CONSTITUTES A JOB THAT, IF SUCCESSFUL, WILL SMASH THE HEART OF THE COURT- HOUSE RING, AS WELL AS RIGHT A FLAGRANT PUBLIC WRONG. The grand jury correctly labels the Le- gate killing as a murder, just as The labeled it several months ago. The li in collusion with certain county officials, had tried to hush the killing up by calling _ it a suicide. But, plainly, the i bar was done to death : Maicotm Vvougis f d the from evidence heard by the grand men an th ewe cmb frm cides ear bythe wren Then there is the Wood-Wilkins graft charge, which, if sustained by tions in court, will instill a new spirit of honesty into county business affairs. Another job for Douglas. : And, of course, the Scandinavian American bank case, involving J. E. Chilberg, former president (and a power in local politics), and his cashier, J. F. Lane. Twenty-one thousand depositors and many other thousands of stockholders in the ruined bank will look to Douglas for intelligent and earnest action in this case. Douglas has been handed the bi r e ity that for a long time past any one local official has carried.
