Jugro, to the supreme Court, from the sentence Dy
which he condemned in New York State to death
by electricity, up in the Supreme Court to-day.
The court heretofore refused to grant Jugiro writ Oh
habeas corpus based the contention that electricity
was a cruel and unusual mode Of punishment. ana
the present application is made on the ground that
there were errors committed at the trial. The case
for the prisoner submitted on printed briefs by
Roger NJ Sherman, and Isaac II. Maynard made an
oral argument in behalf OF TIE State of Ncw-lorA' The
points raised by Mr.. Sherman were that Juglro was
sentenced before the magistrate Of the Supreme Court
had gone down: that the CONT, instead Of giving
Jugiro al his trial man learned in the law, had
assigned him as counsel fraudulent preteDder, who
was there masqueradng in the gulse of lawyer and
that JaL-.-x.s were excluded from the panel whence
were d avn The grand and petit jures. Counsel for
the State maintained that Jugro had not been Denied
any of his constitutional rights and uat wiz on
habeas corpus cannot issue any OF the grounds OF
Complaint set forth.

HIS PROPOSED REFORM IN NAVY YARDS COM.

Washington April 10-In an interview this after
noon with "starS reporter Civil service Commits
sioner Roosevelt expressed himself highly gratiied
at Secretary Tracys declaration to bring employees In
the Navy yards within the scope of the Civil Service
rules. "Mr. Tracy" said he observes the heartest
praise from all friends Of the reform, and his speech
and declaration of intentions reflect the greatest credit
not only upon him but also upon the Administration
OF President Harrison. 1t would be impossible to use
language more emphatic than he uses In speaking Of
the patronage has been In the Navy yards With
tho possible exception of the Indian service there Is
place where patronage does more harm than in the
Navy yards and the Secretary deserves the thanks.
not only OF Civil Service reformers. but Of all Amcri
can citizens interested in seeing that we have a
thoroughly efficient Navy, for cutting out what he
rightly calls tho Of the patronage system from
the yards.
ait IS the greatest step In advance that could DO
taken. OF course 1t will finally need Congressional
action to make it permanent but 1t is far better that
should be applied first in an experimental form under
the Sccretary's own supervision When this has been
done and when the fourthcass postmasers have been
disposed OF on some such plan as that outlined in
Mr. Lodges BILL and when the limits Of the classified
service as existing, have been extended to tako
in all the Offices Which possibly be included under
IT, the spos question will have been practically
eliminated from politics.
al am particularly pleased to see, by President
Harrisons letter the Cambridge Civil Service Reform
Association, that he has under advsemcnt the ex-
tension of the rules to the Indian service; although
here too it must be borne in mind that there must
be legislative work to remove the Indian agents
infinitely the most important OF the Indian employees
from politics. All Of this means a great and real
advance Doubtless there can be improvements made
in the present law, but the improvements must be In
the line Of making II more stringent"
