Misunderstandings which are prone to occur at any time, are doing their full share to augment the strained conditions at the court house where', the state's attorney and the board of supervisors are on the outs and the grand jury is conducting an investlga-1 tion of alleged graft in the sheriffs ; office. Public men who are referred to in newspapers jealously watch the statements credited to them or 'said '. about them and where there Is aught that might in any way be misconstrued they are quick to seek its correction, i As an example. Chairman George H. , Kichmond of the board of supervisors i I has drawn a very fine haired dlstinc-! tion between a "conference" and a I 'conversation." Thursday evening's j issue of The Argus contained the in-' formation that Mr. Richmond and the! lng, fhe presentation of certain evl dence to the grand jury. Mr. Rich mond at once took occasion to publicly through the columns of The Argus and otl erwise deny having had a confer ence. The Argus, having no intention of being unfair to anyone or of put ting Mr. Rlcnmond in a wrong light, printed his contradiction. The Argus, however, has the word of the state's attorney that the latter and Mr. Rich mond did meet several times at the court house. In the halls and outside the grand Jury room and did discuss the evidence in question that which the special committee of supervisors desired to put in the hands of special state's attorneys rather than In Mr. Thompson's hands. Further, Mr. Thompson is authority for the state ment that he did advise Mr: Richmond to taKe the evidence direct to the grend Jury, as such was the proper ccurse of procedure. Possibly Mr. Richmond construes the word conference as meaning one of the private back-room-get together sessions st often resorted to, but if his contra diction includes a denial of having con versed with the state's attorney at dif ferent times relative to the submission of evidence to the grand jury, It then becomes a question of veracity be- tween two public officials.

"The sparrow ought to know better than to go Id there," explained the beeper. "The stork has been eating half a dozen of these birds a week since be came here.
