The question of the service of work
ingmen on juries came under discus
sion in Judge Graham's court yester-
day during the impeachment of a Jury
to try the Gonzales will contest. To-
seph Fries, plumber, asked to he
excused on the ground that he would
lose his pay during the time he was
kept in court Bert Schlesinger. one
OF the lawyers in the case, consid-
cred Fries applicati ton as reasonable.
Judge Graham, however, had some
thing to say.
1T is the duty of every citizen, no
matter what his station in life, to serve
on a jury when summoned" remarked
the. judge. Complaints have been
made because the number of work
ingmen summoned for jury duty is not
proportionate with the number of
business and professional men.
Recently deputation from the la
Dor council waited on the superior
judges and asked that more working
men be chosen. Now, Mr. Fries. Won
are willing to do your duty as a citi-
zen and remain on this jury, are you
not?"

judges remarks, answered, Yes, sir

by the judge in the cases of Charles

and John A Benson for conspiracy to
defraud the government out of lands
in Tehama county before Judge de
Haven. He had been unable to be pres
ent Monday afternoon.
DeYlin said he meant no discOurtesy
10 the court, but the reason he did not
intend to be present at the hearing
was that the United States govern

presence TO show that the government
had any interest in them.

three federal commissioners in the fed

his charges before, and there was no
reason why the matter should have

ISLAND MUSICIANS
DELIGHT AUDIENCE
Philippine COnstabulary Band
Scores Hit in Concert at
DreamIand Pavilion
By Walter Anthony

The constabulary band from the
Philippine islands made an emphatic
hit last night at Dreamland pavilion.
Eighty-six instrumentalists are not to
be heard every day and the thunder of
drums, the crash of brass and the
swing and sweep of the biggest band
that has played in this city will take
the most prosaic listener off his feet
and fill his ears with such a volume
of tone that he will insist on Wagner
for the rest of his natural life.
Director Loving. an American negro.
has a most quiet and unostentatious
manner He could not be more modest
in his leadership of the FilipinOs if he
were in Georgia. Every gesture is
deprecating, and he leads his bands
men as though he were conscious of the
fact that they are brown while he is
black. He is a musician. His handling
of the great forces in front of him
proves that. Only he should see to it,
this afternoon, that the wood wind
choir is in better tune. There was an
appreciable number of vibrations mark
ing the difference between the flutes
and reeds last night in the William
Tell overture and so the finish. which
he was prepared to lay on the number
lacking in polish.
But the band concert was a sensa-
tional success. 1t might not have been
entirely pleasing to the "highbrOws."
but it was entirely satisfactory to those
who have a spinal column and an abil-
ity to thrill. The players presented
some Verdi music in 'Traviata." some
Donizetti melody in the immortal sextet
from Lucia, Rossini was represented
in his William Tell" overture. and
there were Scotch and English, Irish
and American airs for those who were
looking for patriotic thrills. The vast
audience rose as a man when in the
course of a Scotch medley the big band
played God Save the King" We all
thought 1t was America"
On account of the great success of
last nights concert Manager Greenbaum
announced that he had stolen from
other engagements in order to provide
a concert at Dreamland for this after
noon and tonight.
For those who love tonaI vigor and
spirited music 1 would recommend a
visit this afternoon or tonight to the
pavilion. The concert will be worth
the money and the time.
