GRAND JURY: We Want to Know | RICTION in the grand jury #s becoming increas- ingly evident. | It can be read between the lines of much that has occurred recent] Just how serious it will have become by the time | the jury is ready to write its report is problematical. Whether political by-play enters into this friction, | on the part of a minority of the jury, also is prob- || lematical. But there is no question ‘about this: The taxpayers of King county have “paid the freight” during the many weeks the grand jury has been in session. They want results. They know that the jury has investigated the stories, long common gos in downtown Seattle, of “grease pots” to which merchants were forced to con- tribute, of “protection money” demanded by police- men, and of other graft. No matter what the outcome of the friction in the jury room; no matter tho, because of it, the disagree- ment becomes so general that no action is taken—King county wants the facts. If the evidence submitted concerning any kind of graft is sufficient, King county expects indictments. |} And if the evidence is insufficient, King county |) wants to see, nevertheless, written into the final re- port of the grand jury, a true, frank statement of what the conditions really are in regard to graft and vice in Seattle, as the jury found them.

ORDER BLOCKS Drunk _ Drivers Is Halted by Dr. Read’s Move The police campaign against drunken drivers which has re- sulted in scores of arrests and several convictions and jail sen- tences, received the most severe set-back in two years Wednes- day, when Dr. Hiram M. Read, city health commissioner, issued orders to the city hospital staff forbidding internes to continue the custom of examining prison- ers charged with driving while drunk. The testimony of a dotcor has been necessary for a convic- tion. “We're running a health depart. ment, not the city jail. I’m not in- |terested in the least in whether auto drivers are drunk or not. That's po- not mine,” Dr. Read said, in commenting on the order. The move will practically result in the abandonment of driving-while- drunk arrests, according to Police Chief W. B. Severyns. “Your term as health commission- jer expires March 17, doesn't it?” Dr, Read was asked by a Star reporter. Is this a parting shot at Mayor Brown for seeking your removal two years ago?’ “Doc Brown doesn’t need a parts ing shot. There's plenty of people who'll take a parting shot at him in the next few weeks,” Read replied. “Just why have you stopped exam- ining drunk drivers?” “Because it's not our business. We have four internes at the city hospital, who have plenty to do car- ing for the patients and emergency calls without smelling the breath of every drunk that somes in. I'm alzo stopping the examination of the drunks the police send in, too, you as well as drunk drivers.” “The chief says it was pure cussedness ‘on your part.” “Did he? Ah, well! Let him think it. He's trying to put all the blame on me. And I’m will- ing to take I'll take all the responsibility. But I won't take the responsibility for going into court and swearing that a man was drunk when brought in here. “You think that drunken drivers should be allowed to run wild on the street?” “That is none of my affair, ts it?
