TIIE MORNING- OltEGONTAN, SATTTRDAT, NOVEMBER 13. 1020 mm T Y FACE CHAHG E MAYOR Seattle Executive Refuses to Tell Reporter's Name. JURY LEAKS ARE CHARGED Investigation as to Source of In formation From Grand Jury ' Room Is Begun. SEATTLE, 'Wash., Nov. 12. (Spe cial.) The probability that Mayor Caldwell will be cited for contempt of court and the calling of Mrs. Maude Sweetman, the "mystery woman,". in the street car probe furnished two sensations in the King county grand jury proceedings today. Mrs. Sweetman is a deputy in the county clerk's office. She was in the grand jury room for three-quarters of an hour. . That she knows something about the $10,000 "investigation" fund, used, in whole or in part, by W. M. Whit ney, the mayor's special investigator, la the common belief. Whitney probably will also be sum moned. He Is a lawyer and promi nent as a republican politician. It is known that he went east for the mayor to get information on the Btreet car transaction. Reporter' Name !Vot Revealed. The mayor's citation for contempt may result because of his alleged re fusal to tell the grand jurors the name of a newspaper reporter with whom he is said to have discussed proceedings before the inquisitors. Charges of "leaks" from the grand jury room were made freely today. They were started by the mayor him self. When court convened Mayor Cald well complained to Presiding Judge Ronald that "there was a leak some where" as to what was transpiring in the grand jury room. "Your honor," he declared, "the first time I learned I was to be summoned before the grand jury was in reading the newspaper. Proceedings in the jury room were chronicled in the daily papers faithfully or not, I don't say." Caldwell then stated that as an of ficial of the city he considered it his duty to find where the leak had oc curred. He asked the judge to call in the grand jury and place the facts before it for its action. FroMcotor Denies Luk. Prosecutor Brown indignantly de nied that any information of grand jury proceedings had come from his office. . Judge Ronald cautioned the grand jury that all proceedings before it were absolutely secret, told the jurors to read the newspaper articles to as certain if there was an essential leak and to determine who was responsi ble. "If you find that anyone has been divulging information concerning what goes on In the Jury room, you will indict him," Judge Ronald con cluded. Calling Brown out into the corridor. Mayor Caldwell vigorously demanded that the prosecutor assign an assist ant to handle any grand jury pro ceedings in which the mayor was a witness. Brown resented the may or's attitude as "political." iillim i 'niiaiMiM jm v ADDED FOR GOOD MEASURE Vs. - PORTLAND POLICE DEPARTMENT QUARTETTE Fonr Balls Who Are Bear on Harmon;.

"Twenty years of awful suffering made me so miserable I was Just about ready to give up, for nothing seemed to help trie a particle, but Tan lac finally came my way and the medicine has simply proved a god send in restoring my health." was the truly remarkable statement made by Mrs. W. F. Baker of R. F. D. No. 2, Milwaukee, Or., while in Portland re cently. "My stomach was so upset that a single bite of cheese would nearly drive me to distraction, and even milk and coffee disagreed with me, but since Tanlac has set me right I can eat cheese, onions and just anything elpe I want without a particle of trou ble. I was simply in misery atl the time, had a terrible burning sensation in my stomach, and gas pressed around my heart until it palpitated and fluttered so bad that I thought I would smother, I had such dizzy, fainting spells it was hardly safe for me to stay alone, and I had such dreadful pains in my back over my kidneys I could hardly bend over. I suffered so from neuritis and rheu matism that my hands swelled all up, I had to carry one arm in a sling, and the pain was almost unbearable. "Tanlac has certainly been a bless ing in ridding me of all my troubles, and I can now eat just anything I want, and have gained ten pounds in weight besides. I never have an ache ' or pain, and am just feeling fine in every way. My gratitude toward Tanlac is simply unbounded, and I'll praise the medicine as long as I live."
