SEEK OTHER QUARTERS. Inquisitorial Body Objects to Being in Same Building With District Attorney. When Gov. Smith comes here to- @ay or to-morrow he will find himself Pho centife of the controversy over the appointment of George Gordon Battle @s counsel for the Extraordinary Grand Jury. Friends of the Grand Gurors sought the Governor to lay be- fore Him the objections which the $urors have to Mr. Battle conducting the investigations into the Municipal Departments and the District At- torney’s office. Friends of the Grand Jurors frankly expressed the fear that the Governor had been ‘filled up” by friends of the Officials about to be investigated and that he did not understand just what the Grand Jury was trying to do, Btories that the Grand Jury was com- Posed of “inugwumps, Republicans and disgruntled Democrats” seeking an issue for tho 1920 campaign were @aid to be particularly annoying to members of the Grand Jury. Gov. Smith was informed that the Geand Jury had served an ultimatum @gon Mr. Battie that he would not be Secepta to the Grand Jurors as ®heir counsel. Out of consideration for the Governor Mr. Battle would be Permitted to join in the request that the Governor name Former Assistant strict Attorney William M. Rand, Bow a partner of ‘William Travers Zerome, as assistant counsel, but it was explained, however, to Mr. Battle that if he joined in this request it ould be with the distinct under- winding that he be adviser to the G@rand Jury in name only, Mr. Rand fe attend to all of the duties of the Position. Mr, Battle is not expected to @ooept these terms, and it was eaid @at he might ask to be relieved from fhe position altogether. Grand Jurors also want quarters in @oeme building other than the Crimi- pal Courts Building. It was learned fhey do not believe that they @onduct their investigations with the can | @egree of secrecy required in the @ame buildir which District At- terney Swann has his offices. The! nding of a dictograph in a room ad- feining the Grand Jury room made @ome feel that the secrecy of the Grand Jury proceedings were being wlolated. ‘The Grand Jury also wants ft own force of stenographers, clerks, @ocountants, investigators and pro- Cass servers. The published interview with Gov. Bmith, in which he said that the members of the Grand Jury were satisfied with the appointment of Mr, Battle was denied to-day by members of the Grand Jury. The minutes, it was said, were sent to Mr. Battle by District Attorney Swann and not by the Grand Jury, Members of the to-day that they irand Jury hinted had “something up their sleeve." They asserted that they were determined to pursue thetr investigation to its end if it took them two or three AUNT FOR MAN WHO DIED AS THRONG SAW TUG SINK ye Waetim’s Companions Escaped in 4 Lifeboat and Were Picked Up. ) Efforts will be resumed to-day to find ' body of Dan Ryan, a deckhand @rowned in the hold when the wooden @ugboat Alice K. of the General Electric Campany « wed and nk off the {Battery in w of several thousand jpersons on ferryboats and the sea wall j yesterday : ae The tus r Capt.
