for the purpose of examination, and the right to copy, any docu-
mentary evidence of any person being investigated or proceeded

person relating to any matter under investigation. The Board may
sign subpoenas and may administer oaths and affirmations, examine
witnesses, and receive evidence.

case of contumacy or refusal to obey a subpoena issued to any person,
issue an order requiring such person to appear before the Board or to
produce documentary evidence if so ordered, or to give evidence
touching the matter in question; and any failure to obey such order
of the court may be punished by such court as a contempt thereof.

at the request of the Board, the Circuit Court in any county or the
Circuit Court for Baltimore City shall have jurisdiction to issue
writs or OF mandamus commanding any person to comply with the
provisions of this Act or any order of the Board made in pursuance
