ABUSES OF THE JURY.

Possibly IL will not do any harm TO call
your attention to the abuses in this State that
are engaging the notice OF barristers of intel
lect and in which all lawyers are interested.
The feature of abuse that IS most prominent In
San Francisco Is the professional jury system
and IL seems TO affect this city greatly. It
has created much talk among the bar as to
the way to rid the law of it, The last Legts-
lature passed the anti-professional jury bill
without attracting the attention OF the people
until IL to the Governor TO sign Then
came protests. the provisions made 1t an
expense TO other counties. while this one-the
one affected-would reap the benefits
The remedy lies in this county and may be
to you students to help attain. The jury sys-
tenn is held necessary. especially in criminal
cases. and the lawyers and students must
put through the deal TO eradicate the evil
that has become prevalent by careless sys-
tenn In the past.
What comes near TO approaching a graft
as would be possible 10 imagine Is another
abuse that affects the commercial interests OF
San Francisco, namely. the title Insurance.
All lawyers should study the operations. for
by the wording OF the contracts everything
that one wants to insure Is stricken from the
policy by a careful construction. and deceit Is
a pittall for the unwise. This fs the most CO.
lossal system OF graft existing and one which
all students should help eradicate by ferreting
out the offenders.
In conclusion. get enthusiastic about your

Judge Fritz deplored the influence Of

officer. land a crowd of boys encouraged

What was the cause of the combat?"
his Honor inquired.
''Oh. they belong to a boxing club and
are always ready with a wallop." was
the enlightening reply.
These amateur boxing clubs and exhi-
bitions are not helping the boys of San
Francisco to become gentlemen" said the
Judge. while glove practice is excel
lent physical exercise. it also tends to
inspire the Juvenile practitioners with
pugnacity, and their readiness with a
wallop is responsible for many unpro-
voked assaults"

There is not a more courageous member

police uniforms cost money, and removal
of paint stains leaves instead an odor OF
gasoline which no fastidious peace guard
ian desires TO fnhale, much less to rad

failed TO stay the conflict. didn't Patrol
man Nolan intrepidly rush in and disarm
the infuriated duelists, to his own sar-
torial disagreement?
Police Judge Mogan's effort TO ascer-
tain who opened the fray was not en-
Iirely successful. From the statements of
the defendants, both of whom are
journeymen house decorators, the infor-
nation. was derived that either Mr..
O'Malley playfully splashed a few drops
of vermiIion on Mr.. Roach or Mr.. Roach
jocularly sprinkled some blue on Mr.
O'Malley: that the recipient of the
shower retaliated in kind that the ex-
change of paint was repeated, and that
the mutual spirit of good humor was
gradually supplanted by mutual malicious
desire TO seriously damage.
When arrested and held at arms
length by Patrolman Nolan both Mr..
O'Malley and Mr.. Roach were. to quote

before the Judge they were studies In

1t having been made evident that the
defendants injured nobody except each

tine emitted by the policeman could be
designated injurious-they were dismissed
with reprimand.

sci for the big packers deny that the
