Lots of people say the Jury System is a
fat failure-that it has outgrown its time.
This is the first time the subject has been
discussed by man who knows. Melville
DAWSON Post, distinguished lawyer and
writer, is the author. The Jury System has
faults, but they can be corrected. The citi-
zen and the judge can learn lot from this
story. If the suggestions are followed, there
will be no more talk of the System failure.

STENOGRAPHER TELLS
WHY DRESS WAS CUT
Mrs. Allen Accuses Mrs. Engles
of Being Jealous

She is jealous because l am young
and she is old and decrepit, because |
have perfect figure, because / keep
nice company and because Val b.
Bernal calls upon me- said Mrs Lena
r. Allen, 1913 Turk street who is a
stenographer for the Won Enron ele-
vator company. She was testifying
against Mrs. Emma Engles, landlady of
a lodging house at S37 McAllister
street, charged by Mrs. Allen with ma
licious mischief for cutting a hole in
the front of a tailor made suit valued
at $35.
Mrs. Engles, stout elderly woman,
denied the charge, protesting. Il never
would do something like that" but Mrs.
Allen and her sister, Mrs. Edith Hunt,
whom Mrs. Allen called Honey" de-
clared that she admitted doing it to
Val Bernal, and the case was continued
till today and a subpoena issued for Ber-
naps appearance in court.
Mrs. Allen admitted she had not been
living with her husband for two years,
and although Mrs. Engles had objected
to her receiving callers, she considered
she had a perfect right to invite any
one to her rooms and partake of beer
and crackers as long as her sister was
with her.

COGHLAN HAS NOT
ASYFT WITHDRAWN
businessmen Looked for His
Formal Retirement Yesterday
in Favor of Fickert

Assemblyman Nat c. Coghlan's formal
retirement from the race for republican
nomination for district attorney. which
was scheduled for yesterday afternoon
did not materialize
The program as announced by mem
bers of the businessmen's committee
who importuned Coghlan to get out OF
the way of Charles NJ. Fickert. pro-
vided for the delivery of Coghlan
formal explanation of his retirement
during the early afternoon
THOUGHT HE WOULD WITHDRAW
Members of the disbursements cam
paign committee announced at noon
that the committee would not wait on
Coghlan again yesterday, as it had his
assurances that he would withdraw. II
was not asserted that these assurances
had been given the committee as such
but that they had been communicated
TO the committee by one of its mem
bers who had been in touch with Cogh-
Ian.
One of the men interested in securing
the withdrawal of Coghlan in favor OF
Fickert ..plained that there was nc
QOuDl dDOuL 0OSlll action
He said that Coghlan was extracting an
immense amount of satisfaction from
the situation in which he was the CEN
trail figure, but that Coghlan would
come down when his hand was forced.
WRONG AS TO TIME
If Fickert's friends had the right line
on Coghlan's ultimate action, they were
wrong as TO the time. The afternoon
wore away without the appearance Of
Coghlan's pronunciamento. CoghIaf
himself was not in evidence at hi.
office or those places where his friend.
are accustomed to find him.
His Office was crowded during mos
of the afternoon with his supporters
who gave themselves over to alternat
ing declarations of war on the mel
who were trying to pull CoghIan dowr
and threats to nominate Coghlan fol
district attorney in spite of committee,
or, for that matter, in spite of Coghlai
himself
At 6 o'clock last night Coghlan tolc
some of his friends that he was still
in the race, but that he had not de
cided what his answer to the business
mems committee would be.
