Judge Cook Payes Way for an Attack on Grand Jury Seven Indicted Men Are Granted Delay to Ask for Writ in Supreme Court The validity of the acts of the grand jury since February of this year is so questionable that I do not feel justifiedin forcing the defendants to plead to these indictments without affording them the opportunity to present the question to. an appellate tribunal" So said Superior Judge Carroll Cook yesterday in a written opinion bverruling the objections of John W. Hayes, Barney Olsen, John Mitzen, R. Schmidt, George Peterson, J. C. Kyle and J. C. McDonald to being forced to plead to indictments for -offenses al leged to have been committed in connection with car strike disturb ances. The point Raised was that the grand jury was an illegal body. Judge Cook in deciding against them explained that he did so be^ cause he believed that the opinion of ' \u25a0 .' ' * >V Judge' Dunne upholding the validity of the grand Jury should be considered the opinion, not of one Judge, but of the superior court On his advice the de fense will apply to the supreme court trr a writ of prohibition, thus bring ibg the question to a speedy decision. ' The opinion was In part as follows: The question presented for decision in these cases, by the defendants' objection to being com peUed to plead tc the Indictments therein, is one of far reaching eCeft. If the defendants' contention Is correct, the Indictments on which tr.fso pxosecetlons are based would be merely so iscch blank paper and a couTlctloa would mean nothing, for any Judgment of conviction rendered wocld be reversed. The B&me Question has been, as I understand, presested to two other departments of this court. relative to other Indictments found and presented by the same grand Jury. In those departments of the court the objections to the Talidity of such grand Jury were, as I am informed, overruled! As an ordinary matter, what the dlcision of one department of the court may be would and should fcsTe no effect on the decision of another department thereof, unless the reasons presented produced conTictloa In the mind of the particular Judge called cp to decide the question. But in this matter the decisions referred to did not go to questions pertaining to the individual cases decided, but applied to the Talidity of a grand jury, which is as much the part of one depart cse&t as of the other. In other words, the qaes tloa inrolred applies to the entire court and each a&d all of its 12 departments. The validity of the grand Jury that presented these Indictments haTing been already sustained by the decision of Judge Dunne la the cane of People- rs. Halsey— on the same facts as these here presented — and sush judge being one of the Judges of th'.s court, and the majority " of . the Judges cf this court having, by nonactlon acqui esced in the action of the, presiding, judge, la cot dismissing them, uaiif an appellate tri bunal 6hall hold otherwise, each deparuteat of the court must, for the reasons above 'stated, treat such jury, and such part of the machinery of the court, as valid, regardless of the indlvid cal opinion of the judge before whom such ques tion may subsequently be raised. The question, however, is of such importance and the validity of the acts of the grand jury, since February of this year. Is so questionable, that I do not feel justified in forcing the de fendants to plead to these Indictments without 't^nrdlag them tbe eppo-tcnity to present the V^ :cstlon to an appellate tribunal. t? ' The expense of these trials to this city airl county, now greatly overburdened with expenses <•? litigation, as well as the expense of such trials to the defendants — who are all poor men and enable to defray 6uch expenses without great injury to themselves and their families — will be so greet that I urgently iwjuest counsel to apply for writs of prohibition herein, for, if a writ of • prohibition will lie to restrain, in ad vanrc. illpcnl action, a reversal of such action, after it has been accomplished, would surely fol low. If, after a trial and conviction, a reversal CLINTON MUST EXPLAIN ATTACK ON CALHOUN Olympic Directors to Inves tigate the Outbreak at "Boosters' Dinner* The board of directors of the Olympic club notified Dr. Charles A. * Clinton yesterday to appear before that body next Wednesday and give his version of the Incident which occurred Thursday, a week ago, when Patrick Calhoun, president of the United Rail roads, became the storm center of war ring factions at the "boosters* dinner." A strong effort Is being made by friends to have Clinton ex { relief and the latter's adherents are ' \u25a0bending every effort to prevent such action. The contention of the Calhoun men Is that as the street railway magnate, was the guest of a member. Dr. W. B. Coff ey of the United Railr^Ss surgical rtaff. it was a violation of the rules of the organization to openly frown upon him because the guest of one ciember was the guest of aIL There have been several versions of the two demonstrations which followed Calhoun's appearance in the banquet- Ing pavilion. The board wishes to se cure Dr. Clinton's version of the per sonal encounter growing out of the Calhoun demonstrations which took place between Clinton and Calhoun's host. Dr. Coffey, on the stairway lead ing to the hatroom after the dinner. The finance ; committee of the club spent considerable time yesterday In straightening out the tangle which Is said to have occurred In -the money af fairs of the club, but the members were confident that they would not be embarrassed by the request made by the First national bank that the 140.000 cote held by the financial institution be taken up.i£oSQßH| Rudolph Spreckels, president of the bank, said last night In reply to the report that he had caused the notlfica- . tlon to be sent to the club because of the Calhoun-Cllnton-Coffey Incident, that he was not aware until yesterday that such notice had been sent, as it was purely a routine matter, the note having fallen due and being carried • through the regular channels for these matters. Cashier Lynch was absent from his \u25ba Alameda home yesterday, but his son stated that he understood that the club was to be given "an, extension of time on the note. PLUNGE PRO\*ES DISASTROUS Nathan Boas, charges that A. D. Nash entered . Into a stock deal ; with him, *\u25a0 but failed to bear his share of the losses. Boas brought suit yesterday against Nash for $17,432.50, alleged' to be the latter's -share -of. a loss due to .a plunge in -stocks. According to : the complaint. Boas bought Manhattan Dexter at prices ranging from 86 to 94 cents, but when he, came to sell he could not get more than an un lucky 13 cents a share. .

Leonard, 106 Cal., 302, and by the district court of appeals to the case of People ts. Richards, 1 Cal. App. Rep. 575, It Is very qaestlonable what the opinion of those courts might be In a caso where the record showed, as It would In these cases, that the new list of Jurors had been selected, certified and filed and thereby returned. A grand jury may 'legally, exist under the liiw tmtU discharged by order of ' the ' court : or by operation, of law, or by ' the final ' adjournment of the court. There being no final adjournment of a superior court,- they cease to exist, either by order of the court or operation of law. If sections 204 and 210, code of clrll : procedure, mean what the supreme court Intimates, both In the Leonard and the Gannon cases, then it ceases to exist, by operation of law, - when grand jurors for the ensuing year are selected and constituted grand jurors.' It Is far preferable, therefore, that the ques tion should be decided, in advance of a . trial, and consequently I will, following 'the rule .established for this court,' respecting . the pres ent grand Jury, by the decision of Judge Dunn Id - the cas-e of People ts. Halsey, overrule de fendants' objections to being compelled to plead to the Indictments, but will set the date tor compelling such plea, for a time that will enable counsel to proceed under the procedure had in the case of Bruaer vs. Superior Court, 92 Cal. 239, and apply to the appellate courts for writs of prohibition. The decision lays stress on a dissent ing opinion rendered by Justice MyrJck in the Gannon case and Includes an analysis of the reasoning: of the higher court In the various cases In which the validity of the grand jury was ques tioned. . ' On motion of Attorney E. F. Moran the time of pleading: was .set for Au gust 6. Judge Cook said that as the district court of appeals was not in session at present the defense could ap ply at once, to the supreme court- for a writ of prohibition. After adjourn ment both Moran and' George Appel, the latter also a legal representative of the defense, said that they would put the question to a test as soon as possi ble. If the writ of prohibition is granted the car strike Indictments would carry down with them all the in dictments in * the trolley, gas, tele phone and Parkslde bribery cases, as well as the indictment charging Chief of Police Dinan with interfering with Jurors, but the extortion indictments against Abe Ruef and Eugene E. Schmitz would stand, having been re turned prior to . last February. . JUDGE UPHOLDS LAW ON LOWER EXPRESS BATES Companies- Lose % Suit for Injunction Against the Sibley Measure OMAHA, July 26.— Judge W. H. Mun ger In the federal court today handed down a decision holding that the Sib ley law passed by the last legislature providing for a reduction of 25 per cent in express rates Is constitutional and denying the application of. the ex press companies for a temporary In junction restraining the Nebraska rail way commission from enforcing the law. The court held that the express com* panics had made no showing that the commission had done anything to im pair the rights of the companies, pend ing an action filed in the state supreme court, and therefore were not entitled to an order restraining the commission from enforcing the; law. Judge Munger said" that the express companies would have an opportunity to make aya v show ing before the supreme court and gave the companies leave. to againapply for such an order should conditions change. The decision Is a'connrmatlonof the refusal of the court to issue the in junction prayed for last weekJ * DANIELS ESTABLISHES NEW SWIMMING RECORD New Yorker Cuts Fraction of Second From His Own Mark for Dis tance of Fifty Yards JAMBSTOWNEXPOSI TIO N GROUNDS.
