Rogors apparently tried to prove that the operation may have been partially responsible. After Rogers had forced the admis sion from Dr. Griffith that the opera tion upon Young was the first of that nature he had performed alone, Rogors demanded to know whether he had known anything about trephining be fore. Griffith's reply was "a little bit." "I am not an expert but I know the technique of the operation," Griffith explained when he was goaded further by the attorney. Rogers quizzed the witness closely on numerous subjects connected with Young's death, finally asking: "Tlie day after the operation, didn't you tell me on tho street that you wanted $230 for performing tho opera tion, and when I asked why, said that your testimony in this case would be vory importantl" "I don't remember, but I don't think I did," was the reply.

OF HANDLING PROBE Attorney-General Should Have Finished Up His Job, West Believes. A SPECIAL PROSECUTOR Governor West Will Send His Own Man to Coos Bay to- Make Thor ough Investigation. Attornoy General Crawford has filed his report on the matter of the dopor- tation of Dr. Leach from Coos Bay, and on other mattors connected there with, and it seems that this is not highly satisfactory to the governor, who has an idea the attorney general should have either commenced proceed ings or have found that no violation of tho law had taken place. The governor is determined tho mat ter shall bo probed to the bottom and that all violators of the law whether W. W.s. or others, shall bo punished. Ho will send a special prosecutor to Coos Bay to take charge of the investi gation and to prosecute if the condi tions warrant it. The governor this morning gave out the following statement: Hits Crawford Hard. "As well stated by a morning paper, 'The public gets from Attornoy General Crawford's official inquiry into the Coos county outrage a philisophical treatise on the relations of capital and labor.' "Upon being so requested by this office it was the duty of the attornoy general to present the charges brought to his attention to the circuit court of Coos county, that tho matter might be promptly heard as provided by law the attorney general appearing for the governor. It appoars, howover, that the attorney genoral took it upon himself to make a personal investigation of tho situation. It does not appear frofn the testimony taken that either the sheriff or any of those citizens charged with being connected with the mob were questioned, nor doos there appear anything in the testimony taken to sup port tho attorney genoral 's contention that spikes were driven into saw logs, that logging roads and rails were fre quently oiled for the purpose of render ing them dangerous, or that the deport od parties had anything to do with such outrages, if perpetrated. "If the charges of Attorney General Crawford, in this direction are true, it shows that there has boon a lack of law enforcement in Coos county. "If tho I. W. Ws. wore permitted to interfere with logitimato business by inciting riot or damaging privato prop erty, thcro was a lack of law enforce ment in Coos county. "If Dr. Bailey K. Leach printed libelous articles in his paper or insulted tho flag, there was a lack of law en forcement in Coos county. "If certain citizens were deported from Marshficld or Bandon by an or iroiiized mob, it proves conclusively that there was a lack of law enforcement in Coos county.

"Have your men at all meetings of tho coroner and the railroads regarding the wreck, and get what is said and done. Our Teporta indicate, that se cret investigations are being hold." Want to Know Why. McChord said of tho probet "We are endeavoring to ascortain why the Pullman company is unloading its wooden cars on the Now Haven rail road. Other rallroaMs have been able to discard wooden cars. Why cannot the Now Haven do sot Every time the commission has made a statement it has cited the wooden car evils, bar suggested reforms and new legisla tion." Before leaving here for New Haven, Inspector Gclknap said th Pennsylva nia wreck at Tyrone, Pa., recently was exactly like tho smash on tho Now Haven road, but the Pennsylvania company uses steel cars, so there was not a single fatality.

If it is show-i that wooden cars are unsafe the commiseion could order them all to the scrap heap. However, in the west wooden cars are rapidly growing out of use and now steel cars, both Pullmiin and passenger coaches, are coining into general use."

Uuban Wal ter, editor of The Harpoon, organ of the Railway aMil Clorks, said of the wooden car ovil here today: Steel day coaches ai.d Pullmans are the only means of avoiding such hor rors as that at Wallingford, It was conclusively proved in the campaign of the railway mail clerks agninst unnec essary slaughter in mall cars. Four years ago the Accident Insurance com pany, a clerks' organization, paid $100,- 000 to the widows of railway mail clerks who were killed. The succeeding year it paid $48,000 and the next year $10,000. The first year there were only 48 steel carsoln the mnil service. Today about two-thirds of the cars are steel.
