I l itlted States District Attorney. John
Hall was then notified that the jury
desired him to sppear before them as
a witness, and he went st once Into the
jury room. Mr. Hall's examination last
ed over half an hour. The nature of
the questions asked him Is not known,
but It Is regarded as significant that
( he should have been called as a witness.
It Is conjectured that Mr Hall has
knowledge of certain transactions In
which George C. Browhell was Involved
and which are now being subjected to
the grand Jury's scrutiny.
Since the conduct of the present In-
, vestlgatlon was taken out of Mr. Hall's
hands by the attorney general and In

ment secret service. Mr. Burns re
mained In the Jury room for about half

"Would you' really like to Know what
happened while I was In the Jury room?"
' he said in a confidential undertone, to
a curious inquirer. "Well I will tell
you. The grand Jury indicted me, but
I begged off. But they turned right
around and indicted me again, and now
I am in hot water."
And then Mr. Burns resumed the oc
cupation of curling the ends of his
moustache.

letters In secret In order to Injure any
member of the ministry?" said Rev.
Ingram T. Irvine today.
'My reinstatement," continued Irvine,
"Is of secondary consideration when con

without malice to be vindicated in tho
sight of God and my friends."
Irvine denied all charges brought by

Although steamboat men are not al

Washington unless ths owners have cer
tificates showing ths stock in a healthy

'1 refuse to handle the stock, but ths
qwner usually drives the snlmnls across
the peninsula and takes them acroaa the
river on the ferryboat. He never stops
to have the animals Inspected. The mat
ter has been called to the attention of
the Washington veterinarian, and he has
promised to put a stop to the traffic.
And there the matter resta."
It is a Waahlngton law recently en
