Read, Seat- tle health commissioner, who may be held for contempt of eee Charges of contempt against Health Commissioner Dr. Hiram Read are under consideration by Judge Everett E, Smith as the result of publication by Dr. Read in the official health department bulletin of an item making a slighting reference to Judge Smith and his decision in the re- cent injunction suit brought against the health department by raw milk dairymen, The paragraph was called to the attention of Judge Smith Friday by | Attorney Philip Tworoger, counsel for the raw milk men, It follows: “It Is*the intention of the depart. ment of health and sanitation to at- tempt to pass @ new milk ordinance. The recent sult by certain taw milk d@trymen against the regulations of the -health department and the s0- called decision of a certain judge make it necessary to change the old ordinance.” “That, in my opinion, is a plain ease of contempt,” Attorney Tworog- er told Judge Smith, Judge Smith obtained a copy of the bulletin containing the paragraph and said he would investigate it. “I am not sure that {t is contempt of court,” the jurist declared, “It may only be contempt of me as a While Tworoger was directing the court’s attention to the item, Deputy Corporation Counsel E. C. Ewing was appearing before the state supreme court at Olympia, presenting an ar- gument for a writ of prohibition to prevent Judge Smith entering his Judgment against the health depart- ment. The writ will be alternative and will be argued before the supreme court November 2. Ewing will contend that the de- cision of Judge Smith is forcing a municipal official to restore permits to the raw milk dairy. men against city ordinances and that an appeal from the decision is not the proper remedy. Judge Smith held that the raw milk dairymen may continue to sell their milk in Seattle and ordered Dr. Read to furnish them permits. He also issued a permanent injunc- tion to prohibit interference with the raw milk dealers by the health department. BOY SHOOTS PLAYMATE! Perhaps fatally wounded with a bullet thru his abdomen, Carl Johnson, 11 years old, was in the St. Luke hospital Saturday while juvenile authorities were holding Frank Conklin, 13, who shot him Friday night near Riverton - Heights, on the Des Moines high- way, Dr. Merrill, probation officer at the Juvenile home, declared that he as satisfied the Conklin boy did not shoot his companion Intention ally, as the child told a straight-for- ward story of the tragedy, Never. theless, the Conklin boy will be held child's injury. The Conklin boy had been given a .22-caliber rifle by his parents, Mr. and Mrs, Frank Conklin, and had been in the habit of shooting the weapon for some time. Friday evening the two were together In a hay field, was holding the gun by, my side," Frank told Dr. Merrill, “when it suddenly discharged and shot Carl, ‘The trigger must have caught on my shirt.” Frank was terrified and ran for help. The wounded boy was rushed to the hospital unconsctous. Juve. nile authorities were notified, and aft. er an investigation decided to lock up Frank until a more thoro probe can be made.
