The grand Jury occupied Itself prin cipally yesterday with a few minor criminal cases, yet found time to delve somewhat Into the Dairy Commls slonery's biennial report, covering the period from October I. 1908. to the same date of mo. This followed the examination of Mr. Bailey, who oc cupied the wltnesa stand two hours Tuesday afternoon. The Information gleaned from the report may give a cue to other witnesses able to ahed more light on the Commissioners of ficial acts. Fourth Dcpntj to Be Called. Three of Bailey's deputies have al ready been on the wltnesa stand. All gave damaging testimony. It Is pro posed to call a fourth. Bert PUklng ton. chemist at the Oregon Agricultural College. Corvallls. who was formerly chemist for Bailey and for a time his only deputy. The names of eight or ten creamery proprietors, meat market proprietors and dairymen from whom Bailey la said to have purchased samples for testing purposes have been placed In the hands of the grand Jury and these may be called upon to testify. The charge la made against Bailey that there la a difference between the amount shown by his requisitions to have been ex pended In purchasing samples and the number of samples sent to the chemist for analysis. On the witness stand Bailey told his Inquisitors that he could account for every nickel of his appropriation ex pended. Ills testimony was a general denial of cljirgea made by his former subordinates. Fnrnltnre Now In Offices. The furniture which Bailey la alleged to have bought for his private use with state funds has. It Is said, been re moved from his home to his offices at 25JV4 Washington street. The trans fer took place after the announcement that there was to be a grand Jury In vestigation of the charges against him. The Dairy and food Commissioner as serts that this furniture belonged to the state all the time and that It was only temporarily placed In his home. Bailey entered a full denial of the assertions of his deputies that he has not discharged the dutlrs of bis ofnee In a competent manner. He declared that he performed hla work consci entiously, with an eye single to the public good. COUNT DE LESSEPS WEDS IVenrh nirdman Takes Canadian Heiress as Wife. LONDON. Jan. IS.
