STREETS TO BE PROBED
GRAND JURY EXPECTED TO
MAKE REPORT TODAY.
Night Raids of Police Department
Are Also to Come In for Investi
gation, It Is Said.
Final report of the March grand
Jury, expected today, is awaited with
unusual interest because of the possi
bilities of the report. For several
weeks-past the Jury has been working
In the dark, so far as the public is
concerned, and only unofficial Infor
mation has come from the Investi
gators. It is learned authoritatively that
there is sure to be caustic mention
made of the City Engineer's office,
and that one or more indictments may
bo expected. City Engineer Taylor him
self has not been found guilty of mis
conduct, but It was learned last night
that street inspectors have been
flushed who are In the habit of turn
ing supplies and surplus labor to their
own account.
District Attorney Cameron has been
conducting a vigorous Investigation
Into the engineering department. He
declines to say what the fruits have
been. but from an unquestionable
source it has been revealed that the
grand Jury's brand will mark one or
more street Inspectors or other out
ride men. Bookkeeper Pugh, of tho
City -Engineer's - office, spent several
hours with the Jury yesterday, but
what revelations he made -will not b
known until the final report comes
out.
'The subject of night raiding by" the
police is likewise expected to figure
conspicuously in the final report. As
the result of raids made about the city
by warrantless officers, the grand Jury
went thoroughly into the subject some
time ago. Mayor Lane passed the re
sponsibility along to- T. G. Greene, who
runs the police department. Greene
passed It along to Chief Gritamacher
who passed it along to Captain Slover.
who took the blame rather than try to
blame his subordinates, Kienlen, Kay
Keller and others, who made the raids'
Although the month ends with to
day, the grand Jury can continue its
investigations through the week The
new grand Jury term does not set in
until next Monday, and the present
inquisitors have a few days of unex
pected grace. The Indications are
however, that the report will be turned
In today to the Circuit Court.
