Mr.. Robertson replied that any depu-
ties of the sheriff could serve him
with a notice.
''They are appointed by the sheriff,
and IT would be just the same as IL
he were doing it, returned the court.
II submit said Mr.. Robertson, that
the Jury IS drawn by the clerk and
the summoning of the jury is only a
mechanical duty on the part of the
sheriff. He has nothing to do with
drawing of juries. We should not
lightly abandon the law which requires
the drawing of jurors by lot, and not
follow the present method, which has
been everywhere severely condemned
by eminent jurists. 1t is condemned
in every textbook, and I say that the
court should only allow it as a last
resort L submit that there is ample
machinery in this Territory for the
drawing of juries by lot, and it should
not be lightly abandoned"
when it became necessary to draw
the first grand jury in this Territory"
said the court in passing upon the
motion, II was very much perpleXed
as to the proper method to pursue,
believing that Congress in repeating
certain portions Of the jury laws, had
emasculated the whole. After consul
tation with the chief justice and Judge
Little, we came to the conclusion that
we could not draw a grand jury under
the old law, and when the question
of bringing the jury into court arose,
it became necessary to resort to the
common law power
The court then quoted from the de-
cision of the Hawaiian Supreme Court
in the Edwards case in which it was
held that the courts were invested with
the power TO order the attendance Of
jurors. Continuing, he said, IF the
Hawaiian jury statutes are still in
force, as it is contended, then the court
would be without jurisdiction, but be-
Iieving as 1 do, and having the con-
currence of the other judges, I must
hold that this law is operative, other
wise it would be equivalent to holding
that we could have no trial or grand
juries in this court. The challenge will
be denied"
Mr.. Robertson noted exceptions and
his intention to appeal. The case was
set down for trial for November %.

IL likely that spur of the tunnel would he

tension q the tunnel system from Brooklyn under
the NarroWs 10 Staten Island would be favorahly
considered.
Chief Engineer Parsons told a Tribune reporter
that it likely a traffic arrangement would he
made with the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company
whereby an eight cent fare would take any one

over the Brooklyn Rapid Transit lines.
Controller Coler urged the extension Of the
tunnel to Brooklyn. because. he said, IL Of

Brooklyn and Long Island if the transportation
facilities better.
Councilman Oakley presided IN the absence o.
President GuEsenheimer
Mr.. Roardman did not believe the cost of the
proposed extension would exceed 100000.
Mr. Parsons said that two cast iron tubes in seq
ments would be used under the river. and that the
construction work would be done with compressed
air power.
Controller Coler gave it as his opinion that The
Bronx Borough. with the tunnel rapid transit
