CAN HAVE GOOD JURIES.
County Counselor Reed Says the Court
Can Clean Out the Jury Wheel
Every Three Months.

Under the opinion of County Counselor
Reed. filed with the county court at In
dependence yesterday, the court has the
right TO clean out the red, white and blue
jury wheel every three months and take
therefrom the names of all disqualified
jurors. The opinion was given TO the
county court at its request, owing to the
unreliability of the wheel in the matter
of selecting jurors for the circuit and Grim
inal courts. At times the wheel would
turn out as many names of dead men as
those in the flesh, which was of great an
nOyance to the courts.
Mr.. Reed bases his opinion on the right
or a court to purge the wheel from time
10 time by reason of necessity and the eX-
igencies of the case he believes at pres
ent warrant such action.
Every three months" says Mr.. Reed
''the county court should remove the
names of disqualified jurors and place the
names of qualified jurors within the wheel
making the jury list correspond with the
now in the wheel have become ilegible
and. in many cases, broken, by reason of
the friction"
He advised the county court to cause to
be printed a dozen lists of qualified jurors.
and printed on cardboard, that the
names can be detached and placed in the
wheel. The other lists, he says, should be
fled away. The qualified jurors now re-
naming on the list could be transferred
dex. The manner of refilling the jury
wheel is recommended after this manner:
That each road overseer be instructed to
file with the county court, by June 10, list
of eligible jurors from his special district.
Secure a copy of all the last registration
lists, also copy of the last city directory,
and the names of eligible jurors from the
city could be secured in this way. He also
recommended that the county clerk select
ore of his deputies TO take charge of the
wheel. and in any case that a juror proves
ineligible the name can be stricken from
the list. The county court has not set any
special time for the work of renovation to
commence. but will have the work COM
pleted not later than the middle of July
or the first OF August, in time for the fall
term of court.

AGAINST EXTENSION.
vOrs to the Water Company of
Kansas City. Kas.

The Metropolitan Water Company, of
Kansas City, Kas., submitted to the board
of public works at its last meeting re-
quest for an extension of the contract
under which IT receives water from this
city at $50 per million gallons. This con-
tract will expire on October 9. and the
Metropolitan company wants its extended
until il can construct settling basins and
complete fits arrangements for pumping
water at Kaw point direct from the Mis-
souri, river. This request was referred to
City Counselor Middlcbrook for an opinion.
He decided yesterday to recommend to the
board that II refuse to extend the contract.
He says the Metropolitan company has no
right to expect the city to continue furn-
ishing 1t water until such time as IL can
complete its plant and set up business in
competition With the city. At least mir rety
days will be required by the Metropolitan
TO complete its system, and in the mean
time should the contract be extended IL
would pay the city the present rate for
water In view of the fact that Kansas
City spent over $40 900 in litigation with the
National Water Work Company of New
York. which owned the Metropolitan COM
panys plant, Mr.. Middlebrook is of the
opinion that the sooner Kansas City cuts
loose from the Metropolitan the better. In
order to extend or in any way change the
contract both parties would have TO go into
the United States court and ask that the
decree of Justice Brewer be modified. II
is said that the Metropolitan company pro-
poses to do this If its request is refused by
the board of public works.
1t Is probable that Kansas City will be
compelled to sue the Metropolitan Water
Works Company, of Kansas City, Kas
At a meeting of the board of public works
held a week ago bill for S2119 against
that company for water furnished to IL
by Kansas City was referred 10 City
Counselor Middlebrook for collection. 1t
claims IL should not be compelled to pay
the bill because the quantity of water
charged for was not furnished. The claim
is set up that loose plungers in the pump
ing engines caused "slppage" of water
Mr.. MiddlebrOok will endeavor to compel
the company to settle the bill The city's
water works officials and the members of
the board of public works say that If there
was any "slippage" II was the result of the
