The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1898-03-07

The question of jury reform has been
raised once more by the introduction into
the Maryland Legislature by the President
of the Senate of a bill TO provide for a
thirteenth juror. to sit in the more i'm
portant cases, in both criminal and civil
courts. 1t is proposed that this extra ju-
ror shall sit with the regular twelve, but
shall have no voice in the finding of the
verdict provided nothing occurs to impair
or reduce the panel during the course OF
the trial. He is to be an emergency man.
In the event of the disability of one of
the regular jurors, by Illness or otherwise,
the extra man is to take his place and
the trial is to go on to a conclusion. 1t
is proposed to be provided that a reserve
juryman shall not sit in every instance.
II 1t shall appear to the court that the
case will be one quickly determined the
extra juror may be dispensed with, but
if the chances are favorable to a long
continued contest then the court may or
der the drawing of the thirteenth juror
along with the regular panel.
Only a short time ago in New York, it
was demonstrated how much trouble and
expense can be caused by the illness of a
juror The trial of Thorn, for the murder
of Guldensuppe was brought to a stand
still by the sickness of one of the jury
men, and 1t was finally found necessary
to end the case and discharge the jury
Notwithstanding much of the testimony
had been taken. A provision of law like
that proposed to the Maryland Legislature
might have saved the expense and much
of the time which were necessarily given
to another trial. This case, by the way,
is only one of many. Probably every per-
son who has taken notice of court pro-
ceedings can recall instances in which an
emergency juror would have saved time
and money in important trials.
While it is desirable that there should
be some sort of reform in juries, in order
to facilitate the work of the courts, the
people are slow to change the plan of
that "bulwark of their liberties" The
Maryland plan, referred to, is not a new
one. 1t has been proposed before in 9th
er states; but so far as the information
goes. 1t has never been accepted. The
people,. as rule, seem to be content> to
have twelve men. no more and no less, on
the juries and to trust to luck that they
will keep well until the cause is determin-
ed

The Prince stopped the Game.

In Austria and Germany the army laws
against gaming were, and still are, very
strict, says an exchange. When the Duchy
of Baden was occupied by Prussian troops
after their suppressing the insurrection Of
1S4s the officers quartered at Rastadt were
warned against playing at Baden Baden.
one summer evening King (then Prince
Wilhelm strolled into the gaming rooms
and noticed an officer in civilians clothes
sitting at play He had won twice on the
red, and was about to pick up his money,
when he caught sight of the Prince watch
ing him. Terror-stricken, he sat quiet,
not daring to reach out for hiss winnings.
The red turned up a third and then
fourth time. AS the maximum was quick
ly reached, the Prince touched the officer
on the shoulder and said, gently: Take
up your money and go, lest one OF your
chiefs should find you here" OF course
the soldier did not require to be told twice
He got out immediately Two DAYS later
there was a review at Rastadt during
which Prince Wilhelm sighted the culnrit
and sent for him. Lieut.. -" ne said
after you went away the red turned IN
four times more. l prevented you from
winning four times the maximum, which
you would certainly have staked. You
will draw on me for that amount Bur
take my advice; do not gamble again ;,
The memoirs of an old German General
who lived to see his last victory at Sedan
have stated as follows: 1T was the kind
ness of the lesson that cured me of gaming
For me it was better than years impris-
onment"

You Can't Fool Us, Birdie.

You seem to make il your annual 'bIz"
To come at the first saluting
or genial air, and chirp about
The dandelions coming out
And the rhubarb's readiness to sprout.
And the verdure's general shooting.
But, bluebird perched on an asI,sn rmb.
This spring you sing a spectre,
You can yawn the thing till your senses
swim
In sea Of god-kissed nectar,
But you can't inveigle a chap that's cute
To shuttle his four-ply flannel suit
Nor, In a moment of rashness, shoot
His all-wool chest-protector,
The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1898-03-07
..UnIversaI MercantiIe schedules.n


The attention Of the Morning News has
been drawn 70 what is called the "Univer-
sal Mercantile Schedule in fire insurance.
Under this system. which is employed by
some OF the largest non-board companies.
a schedule Of premiums Is arranged by
which insurers are credited with all mat
tiers which tend 70 lessen the insured risk,
and charged with all matters which tend
to increase the risk BY striking balance,
the rate is obtained. The result is arrived
at through the fixing of certain basic
charges upon all classes and kinds of fire
insurance. These basic charges are added
to or subtracted from. according to a sys-
TEN Of percentages depending upon the
circumstances surrounding the property
insured. Thus. the construction of a build
ing, its proximity 20 other property, its
safeguards against fire, its provisions for
the extinguishing of fire, and hundred
other details. which may add to OF take
from the risk, are taken into account in
calculating the premium to be charged.
The questions of a city's water supply and
fire department are also taken note OF, and
have important bearing upon the calcula-
ton.
The Insurance Herald. of Louisville, KY,
in an article on the application of the Uni
versal Mercantile System of rates to the
city Of Albany, N. Y, says: For years
before the introduction of the schedule. Al
bany was an Awful Example. II was a
sink-hole for insurance money, and the
schedule, If we remember rightly was tried
there for the reason that Albany could not
be hurt by any experiment. The result, 1t
seems, justlfies the schedule beyond ex-
pectations. II caused safety improvements
in buildings, fire protection, and cut fire
losses down more than rs per cent" The
reduction in fire losses was from an aver
age of 10000 per year to $500 in 1896. and
about $4,000 in 1897.
The Insurance Herald, in closing its ar
ticle, says the only way to get uniform
and just rates is through adopting one
schedule which makes allowances for the
advantages and disadvantages of every
section and locality" and suggests that
the Southeastern Tariff Association, by ap-
plying the Universal Mercantile Schedule,
may solve the problem of rates which has
been occupying its attention for so long a
time. The principle on which the schedule
is based is, that by encouraging insurers
to make their property secure through
safeguards in building and efficient fire
and water departments. the insurance
companies will have less risk and insurers
win have fewer and lower premiums to
pay.
