DISTRICT SHAVED
WAGES Of JURORS
Owes Thousands for Short
age in Pay.

Has the District mulcted Police Court
and eoroner's inquest jurors of a part
Of their rightful pay for serving as
Juiymen since June q. 1902
This question Will have 10 be decided
By District officials within a few days.
Recent decisions by the Comptroller Of
the Treasury hold that. under act Of
Congress of June p. 1902. these Jurors
ale entitled to IS instead Of 81 per day
;or services, as are jurors in the Dis
trict Supreme Court.
All Right Ahead.
here is no doubt that. henceforward
jurors at inquests and in Police Court
will be paid at the higher rate The
only point at issue now is whether the
Comptroller's finding makes IT obliga-
tory for the local government to dig
down in its purse and pay 10 former
jurors the extra dollars due them. Such
a necessity would cause great expense
to the District.
THE decision came as a great sur
prise to me- said Coroner hewitt to-
day. IF the decision is retroactive and
goes back 10 the date Of the passage
of the act, ii Will mean that the Dis
trict. will have TO pay out hundreds of
dollars for Jurors that attended coron-
er's inquests. and were paid only 81 per
day, in accordance with the old Gus
tom.
Amount in One Year.
During the fiscal year just ended we
had forty-hve inquests, and at each of
these inquests six jurors served. Just
for that year the District would have
to pay out the extra sum Of $40
Expense attendant on reimburslng po-
lice court jurors would be much great
er. No accurate estimate could be OBJ
tained today, but it Is admitted that
it would be up in the thousands. Coron-
ers jurymen for fiscal year 1923 would
claim also about 500.
II Is pointed out at the District Build
ing today that IN some cases IN the
past the custom has been 10 start the
new order Of payments With the date
Of the Comptrollers opinion. In others.
the ruling became retroactive 70 the da te
OF the passage OF the act In question.
Which OF these courses is correct will
have to be determined.

A Defense of Slang.

SO far from being an evidence OF a
national levity and lack Of seriousness
slang is the language Of sincerity. 1t
is the result of an instructive effort to
get as far away as possible from every
thing like pretentiouSness. 1t is the
antipOdes of bathos. 1t is the Ian
guage of the whole people, because 1t
is expressive Of the national sense OF
humor that is never SO keen as when
it contemplates with a joy likewise
unutterable the spectacle presented by
a fake exposed. 1t is blunt, it is crude,
it is brutal sometimes, but it is always
sincere. 1t directs against the citadels
Of evil the mighty enginery Of laugh
ter. 1t does for our nascent abuses
what the mordant satire Of Martial and
Juvenal failed to do for decadent
