point before winter sets In. Should the issuance
of the bonds be authorized Immediately. there VIII
be time to build the structure TO the level OF the
first floor before operations will be hindered by the
snow. The architects McKim. Mead q White.
nave been asked for the drawings and specifications
for the completion of this central portion
The Corporation Counsel having decided that the
erection of the building comes within the province
Of Deputy Commissioner William Walton, OF the
Borough Department of Buildings Lighting and
Supplies Mr.. Walton has recommended the issu-
ance of the bonds and the head of the department.

ing promises to be well posted as to detail so as
10 present the subject in a proper manner before

Judge Lindsay yesterday empanel-

except four, and for them attach
ments We're issued.
The following 90 were retained to

her, James r. Coutts, William Hoppa,
Michael Carroll John Mclaughlin
and John A. Stewart.
Some of the veniremen who were
reluctant to do jury duty urged strong
reasons why they should not be requir-
| ed to serve. A number of them were
deaf or very hard of hearing. John
Stewart was one Of them.
| How old are your" asked the court
| in a low tone Of voice.
| "About-'how DID, did you say?"
Yes, that is what l asked you"
| about g."
After a few more questions, which
Stewart answered quite readily, the
court observed:
You seem to hear reasonably well
this afternoon
II can't hear at all was the reply
Stewart was excused, however, as there
| were enough jurors without him.
John O'Neill also wished to be ex-
cused because he could not hear the
judge and clerk where he sat--the rea,
of the court room.
, You will not be required to sit back
| there when serving on the jury" saiG
the court.
THAT is just my excuse" sale
ONeil..
You can hear me all right, can you
not?"
Perfectly" was the reply, anc
O'Neiil was retained as a Juror.

were not taxpayers, and a few were
let off because they could not under
stand English. while number wer'

in their families.

Labor Commissioner Dewey Repudiates
an Alleged Interview.
To the Editor of the Standard.
My attention has been called to an
article in your paper of the 10th inst,
in which you quote an article, appar-
emily from some Spokane paper, pur-
porting to be an interview with ME,
comparing labor conditions in that city
with those in Butte, and seemingly to
the disparagement of your city. This
is the first l have seen of the interview
in question, and only know that l have
not made any such comparison, either
public or private. / think I said to you
before leaving your city that l consd-
cred the labor organizations of Butte
very conservative in their demands,
when their power to get whatever they
wanted was taken into consideration
1t is no part of my business as an agent
of the government to say unpleasant
things of the cities or towns l am called
upon to visit officially or otherwise.
The record of strikes in Butte speaks
for itself in facts and figures, and in
due time will be published for the in
forma ton of the public.
