posed by Senator Spooner providing
that no citizen should be acceptable
as juror in United States courts un
less he spoke, read and wrote the Eng
lish language, eliminated from the bill
It is understood the bill will become
law.
Mr.. Spooner is author of the amend
ment and prevailed upon the commit
tee to accept 1t. He stated today tina
the attorney general had told hin
that in ten out Of the twenty-five coun
ties in the Territory, 1t would be i'm
possible to secure jury If tht
amendment should become law. Ir
those ten counties it is, he said, abou
absolutely necessary for the courts tt
employ interpreters in all matters go
ing before a jury. He therefore with
drew the amendment and asked tina
the bill be passed. There was no oh
jections and the bill went through
