NEGROS NAME IN
BOX BY MISTAKE

GEORGETOWN. March 20.-Declar-
ing that he was unfairly imposed upon,
Jury Commissioner Daniel Fooks, of
Laurel, explained how he placed the
name of a negro in the jury box from
which the name was subsequently
drawn on the jury that will sit at the
April term Of court. According TO the
statement Of Fooks, the name was
handed to him by a responsible man
from Indian River, and he had not the
slightest notion that the man, Levin
Harmon, was a negro until he was so
Informed after the name had been
drawn.
In the hopes that the matter may be
settled in some way, the jury commits
stoned yesterday requested the sheriff
to withhold the issuing OF the sum-
mons until he could consult with the
court. Although the opinion is that the
court could not excuse the man, IL is
expected that Harmon viii not appear
and the court will not issue an attach
ment. so that in that way the law can
be satisfied and yet the man will not
serve on the jury.

measures which the labor leaders want
