PJfllJBk CATHCART "SEEING" GRAND JURYMEN ABOUT HIS CASE Probability That He Will Grand Jury What Astonishing A grand juryman stated yestorday hat he had been approached by1 County Attorney Cathcart who tried to talk about his own case; considering that tho attempt was an impropriety, lie refused to listen. Cathcart got fur enough ahead, however, to say that ho "did not know" he wus entering Ooo Wan Hoy's place, having gone into the first tobacco shop he came to to light his cigarette, and this despite the chapter he gavo to Goo Wan Hoy in bis Orpheum speech and the newspaper publicity given by bim and others' at that time to the Chinese merchant and lils business. Cathcart also said that lie did not strike Ooo Wan Hoy, Val- though in his Bulletin interview next day be stated that' "he may have licked a Chinaman." now many other grand jurynieu Cathtart has attempted to "see" has not yet been made known. It is understood that he or his deputy Trill act is adviser to the grand jury in this ease, although it is impossible to see bow the Attorney General's de partment can possibly permit sueh a travesty on justice. TUat it has tbing of the sort in mind may be judged iroin toe following reply to a RE Rice Announces That Next Session Will See Counties Get Taxing Powers.

In addition to taking an hour off to hear and honor tho Honorable C. W. Fairbanks yesterday, morning, tho House had two debates, a couple of "scraps and an afternoon session that ran after five o'clock. It was a busy day for the irritable and tired mom bers, made especially sd from the fact that tho Senators gaily adjourned early enough to leave some House resolutions where thoy cannot fall to die of neg. lect.

It was suggested in the House that they too adjourn and lot some Senate bills die by the same process, but tins was not allowed. The resolution calling for the ap pointment of a gas and electric meter inspector was one of the measures that the Senate sidestepped and tho resolu tion calling for a publicf utilities conr mission, against which exSonator John C. Lane has been lobbyingson behalf of interested parties, failed to pass in tho House. The big doings of tho day was the killing of tho couiity tax bill, this being, debated in. committee of tho v.
