Waahlncton, ; March I. Attorney'
Gnerl Moody today placed Dletrlct
' Attorney BrletoVa explanation before
the president and recommended that the
entire matter be referred to the Ore---
aoft- Bar aaaoolatlon for inreatlaation
and report" The president acoepted this
. recommendation, and txndlna thai re
ceipt of the report from the bar aaso
elation - the aovernment will take no
"- further action for or against Bristol.
The act of the attorner-rneral was
- In compliance with a request from the
; bar association, which hae a srteTance
- committee whose duty it Is to tnrestl
. Bate such cases and wblchdeslred to iro
, into the nnttar fully before . anal ac1
uon ahouia be taJten. -
Bristol wtli be permitted to serve as
eistrlct attorney under fats present ap
pointment until the association reports:
. and while It Is not saying so in so
many words, the ' attorney-aeneral In
d lea ted that If the reports should be
- favArable Bristol would be .reappointed.
- When the foregolna dispatch was read
to United States - District - Attorney
Bristol he said r
"If such a decision has been reached
I am not yet advised of It. In the
meantime I do not think It would be
proper to say anything- on the eublect
1I must follow the same policy to which
X have adhered from the bealnnlna."
. But while Mr. Bristol declines to ex
press himself at this time, some of his
friends speak with satisfaction of. the
fact that the charges against hlra axe
to be Investigated here at hie home, and
before an Impartial body such as the
grievance committee of the bar aaso-
. elation. '
- When Prank R. Grant, : as special
.. proseoutor for- the grievance committee
of the Oregon Stat Bar association,
wrote .to Washington suggesting that
. the charges agalnst-Wr. Bristol should
be investigated here, he acted without
the sanction or the knowledge of tor
member of the - grievance committee.
Mr. Grant himself Is authority for this
" statement, for when Interviewed on the
, subject three weeks ago he said that he
' had received no Instructions from the
committee er any member of it'
So tar aa can be learned no one of
the grievance committee has any knowl
: . edge of the. charges further than has
been published In the columns of the
dally papers. Mr,' Bristol has himself
uniformly- refused- to make any-atate-
ment, saying that it would not be proper
'for blm to do so until action had been
taken at Washington. , - ,
