The Boston Journal. a stalwart of
stalwarts. says there is reason to be-
lieve that mistake has been made by
the trainers Of the DingIey bill in in
creasing so heavily the duties upon
imported mineral waters; that I'M
der the Mckinley law the ~
ties were 16 cents a dozen for
pint bottles and % cents a dozen
for quarts. The Gorman-Wilson
law fixed a rate of % per cent ad val
orem. The Dingley duties are 80 cents
a dozen for pint bottles and 40 cents
a dozen fo- the larger sizes. There is
reason to believe that the whole bill
is a mistake.

Jury duty is a thing that is often
very irksome and all manner of ex-
cuses are invented for the purpose of
evading it. yet there is no more i'm
portant one unless it be that of de-
Tending ones country in war time Men
of large property interests in a COM
munity should be summoned far more
frequently than they are to serve as
jurors. and when summoned they
should not be excused unless there is
very good reason for it; their conven-
fence ought to be no excuse.
A rather remarkable case of excusing
a man from jury service occurred in
New York one day last week. Bray
ton Ives, the president of the Western
National Bank, was summoned as a
juror. He appeared before the court
and asked to be excused for the term:
NO. SIR said the judge. You are
a man of means and without q legal
excuse. You must serve or pay the
fine"
How much is the fine Mr.. Ives
asked.
Fifty dollars"
Il shall, with your permission. pay
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1897-04-18

the fine" said Mr.. Ives. as he walked
to the desk and handed the clerk a
$50 bill.
The judge merely allowed Mr. Ives to
buy himself off from jury service and
he should not have done so. Any man
of considerable means would very glad
ly pay $50 in preference to serving q
whole term as a juror, that is if he
has no sense of civic pride. Then such
a case as this teaches that man can
escape certain duties he owes to the
state if his pile is only big enough.

a public plumber government, and the

THE PETIT RULING.
Mr.. HOugh Thinks 1t Valid, and that
1t Cannot BE ContrOverted.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
| have read with some interest the contro-
versial articles published in the Journal by
Speaker Petit and Hon. W. ID. Bynum. in
regard TO the passage by the House of Rep
resentatives of what is known as the Scent
fare bill. and it appears 10 me that the
proper solution of the question at issue be-
tween these gentlemen does not depend up
on the soundness or unsoundness of the ar
gument made by either of them. 1t seems
to me that the validity of the vote by which
the bill was finally passed cannot be sue
cessfully assailed, even though the ruling of
the speaker on the motion to reconsider the
motion to reconsider the vote by which the
bill, on its third reading first failed to pass
were conceded to be incorrect. i UNDER
stand the facts in the case 10 be that on
the first vote on the question of the passage
of the bill majority of the votes given were
in favor of its passage, but that there were
less than fifty-one affirmative votes. and
that the bill therefore failed to
pass for want of constitu-
tional majority This being the case
the bill was not necessarily defeated
by the vote. but il still remained on The
calendar eligible to be taken up and voted
on again at the pleasure of the House. New.
the question naturally arises what effect
would the adoption of the motion 10 recon-
slider the vote by which the bill failed 10
pass. had the same been adopted. have lad
upon the status of the bill? Most certainly
none at all. for, the vote which had been
taken did not finally dispose of the bill but
left IL on the calendar ready TO be called up

SHOT BY POLICEMEN.
Merchant Fatally wounded and sup
posed Burglar Killed.

CHICAGO. March 10.-Albert Ziemar. a
merchant. whose home is in Cleveland. o..
was shot and probably fatally wounded at
midnight tonight as he was leaving the
Great Northern Hotel, where but short
time previous he had registered. Ziemar
WAS in company with IL. j. Lewis. and had
intended enjoying short walk before retir-
ing. Two bullets fired by police officers in
attempting to arrest "A burglar took effect
in Ziemar's body and he fell TO the side
walk. In all a dozen shots were fired.
Ziemar was the only person injured. One
of the bullets entered Zemars abdomen
and the other shattered his wrist. The
wound in the abdomen is said to be a Sc
rious one, and at the County Hospital it
was feared that Ziemar would not recover.
At i o'clock the body Of man was found
several blocks from the hotel. He was wei
dressed and, like Mr. Ziermer, had been
shot through the abdomen. The linen worn
by the dead man bears the name Mccoy
ern." The police are satisfied that he was
one of the fugitive burglars, and crawled
away from the scene to die.
