MANY ARTISTS ARE
AFTER Big PRIZE
$1,000 and Honor Attract De-
signers From All Parts of
the United States

Artists from all over the world are
sending in designs to be entered in the
competition for the $1,000 prize Of
fered BY the Panama-Pacific exposition
directors for fitting trademark to be
used in advertising the 1915 fair AS
October Is. the closing date for the
competition, approaches the directors
are receiving an increasing number of
inquiries From the designs already
at hand it is evident that there will be
entered in the race drawings from some
of the most famous artists of the east
None of the designs will be exam
ined by the directors, the publicity
committee or the judges until. the day
after the competition closes. The
award it is expected, will be made
within a week after October 15 Be-
cause of the plan adopted to keep the
drawings unopened the ideas submit
ted already will not be disclosed. Should
any be examined or commented upon, it
is feared that the judges would be un-
consciously Influenced when they came
to make the selection. Strict Impair
TALLY will be observed.
Each artist is requested to place
upon his work some distinctive mark
which must be duplicated upon sealed
envelope containing the name and adj
dress of the designer. Many have i'm
pIored the exposition directors for
ideas, but no attempt will be made to
offer suggestions. Upon the design
must appear the words Panama Pacific
international exposition, 1915" The
work must be finished in detail and the
color scheme attached. In order to se-
cure uniformity the designs should not
be more than II inches square It
would also be well to remember that
the design will be reduced to half inch
size in order to go on the official but
tons.
Many local artists have entered the
race for the $1,000 and the honors that
go with it,
The winning design, in earning $1,000
for its creator, will earn him or her
fame throughout the world, for 1t will
be used far and wide as the trademark
of the 1915 exposition. 1t will be
used on all exposition literature and
documents IT will be displayed on the
official poster and upon the Official
stationery.
However obscure may be the winning
artist, when his design is accepted he
will be given wider publicity through
the Panama-Pacific literature than is
now accorded the most famous of his
profession. The design will be ex-
plotted in all parts of the world
Many of the merchants of the city who
have been anxious to use the Panama
Pacific stickers on their literature and
packages have been complaining that
they are not easily obtainable The
exposition directors yesterday an
nounced that they can be obtained at
the exposition headquarters in the Mer-
chants exchange building.

SAN RAFAEL. Sept. lip. r. Clare,
a grocer of Corte MADEIRA, was given
$1,000 by a jury today as payment for

Clare was put off a Northwestern

LAWYERS ClOGG|NG
JUSTICES WHEELS,
PASTOR DECLARES
Clergyman from Pulpit Tells
His Experiences as a
Juryman.

PASSAIC. April An the Unitarian
Church yesterday the pastor, the Rev.
Charles Graves, spoke on My Expert
ence as a Juror" Mr.. Graves was a
member of the last petit jury in this
county.
Il have for long been among those
who nave unsparingly condemned the
jury SYSTEM said Mr.. Graves among
other things. Reused by what appeared
to be, and what everybody almost is
compelled to regard as fragrant mlscar-
riages and corrupting defeats of justice,
/, with others, have felt that justice
could better be secured by some other
road. 1 have felt that the jury system
had proved itself to be irreparably de-
~fective.
MY experience as a part of the
system has changed my opinion. The
defects are not in the system but in
the men. If a corrupt verdict is rem
dered it is because the men rendering
the verdict are corrupt. If IN erroneous
verdict is rendered it is because the men
were in error. The system is all right
1T fell to my lot to sit in judgment
on two cases than which there could be
none more likely to provoke irrecon-
ClldD lt ut1ltIclCtS VI OpilllOIs L tob soy
with supreme satisfaction and I speak of
it only because it furnishes solid ground
of hope for better things for every one
of us, that when we marched into the
jury-room and were locked away so to
speak, from all communicating int1u-
ences, the twelve men had but one de-
sire, one object which they desired to
accomplish, and hat was to render a
just verdict. And / a positively say
that if we failed to agree Upon a YER
dict that failure would have represent
ed no less a desire to come to a just
conclusion.
1.-THE fact is there are wheels enough
in the legal machine, wheels enough
to turn out much more work than is
now the case! What is needed in the
way of reform is to take out from the
wheels the cogs already put in them.
The main trouble, / do not say all of it,
but most of the delay complained of is
directly chargeable to the men whose
business it is. at least theoretically, to
get the causes before and through the
court. No doubt there are many in
stances where counsel is paid for the
purpose of delaying the case as much
as possible.
Il believe that if the legal profession
doesn't quit these obstructive tactics
something will happen to turn that
weapon upon themselves. A filibuster
in court is no more deserving of re-
spect or consideration han a filibuster
in Congress. Worst of all, the wheels
of the court are clogged by a chronic
unreadiness on the part of counsel to
proceed with the cases. This is sim
ply incomprehensible to the layman. L
do not profess to now anything of the
ms and outs of the legal profession,
but it strikes me that something is
radically wrong somewhere when
sci, in the language of the court, for
bad reasons and for no reasons at
all, seek or practically compel the
postponement of their cases from time
to time"

27 wBUCKET-SHOP
MEN IN DRAGNET
OF JUSTICE TODAY
Two Indicted Gamblers Slip
Deputy Marshals-Others
Surrender Selves.

WASHINGTON, April 4.-Twenty-
seven of the twenty-nine persons in
dicted here in connection with the
parts of the country will have been ar
rested before tonight if the plans of the
department of justice do not go awry.
Sixteen of the defendants were in the
hands of the government officers as u
result of its raid on Saturday, and the
department mad its dragnet out for the
remaining persons today.
Two of them. however, it is feared,
have slipped away from their accus-
toned haunts and may succeed alto
gether in eluding the deputy marshals.
Two of the Washington men indicted,
Henry r.. Duryee and Charles r. Alley,
surrendered to the district marshal
here this morning and were held in bail
for their appearance when wanted, Two
others in this city will surrender when
called on.
Extradition proceedings to bring the
outside defendants to this jurisdiction
have been set in motion. The efforts of
the department of justice will be to get
them all here after asking the court to
set a day for trial. Because of the de-
lay incident to e%xtradition proceedings
it is not likely the cases will come up
for trial before the fall term of the
court.
In making up the cases against the
defendants the government attorneys
looked into the law prohibiting any per-
son, under penalty, from communicat-
ing quotations of prices of securities or
commodities to aid in making bucket
shop contracts. This was one for the
of determining whether the
Union Telegraph Company was
liable to the penalty imposed by the
law, but nothing was developed to show
that the company was aware that the
quotations furnished were to be used in
bucket shop operations.

PRODIGAL is GREETED
WITH SOUND THRASHING.

Charles Custer, the 10-year-old son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Custer, of 317 William
street, aHrrison, who has been missing
from home since Wednesday, returned
this morning, while the police of Harri-
son and surrounding towns were search
ing for him He received a sound
thrashing.
Charles, the oldest of four children,
up until a few weeks ago, mas a model
boy. About a month ago, however, his
parents noticed a change in him. Sew
eral times he was chastised for wrong
doing, but it seemed to have little or no
effect upon him. His parents followed
him up and found that he was in bad
company. His chums, so his parents
declare, nave been arrested several
times for committing petty depredations.
Last Tuesday night Custer, who is but
10 years old, was informed by his pa
ternal parent that he would nave to
sever his connections with the boys who
were responsible for his becoming a a
boy.
The lad never said a word. He
studied. his lessons and at the usual
time went to bed. When his mother.
the next morning, went to his room to
call him for school, she was surprised
to find the bed empty. A search was
made, but it awaited nothing. When her
husband came from work she told him
of the boys disappearance, and the
heartbroken father started out on a
search that tool up the whole night, re-
turning to his home in time to go to
work on the following morning.
During the long hours of the day
Mrs. Custer sat at the window in the
front Of her home, thinking he might
happen around, but her vigil was un-
rewarded. Not once since last Wednes-
day did Mrs. Custer partake of solid
food. She spent the most of the time
crying and fretting. =
About IL o'clock this morning the
door of the Custer home opened, and in
walked the much-sought lad. AS happy
as she was to see him, his mother ad-
ministered a severe whipping to him,
and told him he would get more when
! his father came nome.

WEATHER MAN SAYS COLD
WAVE is COMING SOON.
Budding Trees May Be Nipped
by Killing Frost.

If you were looking the yard over
yesterday with a view to setting out
some plants and getting the seeds UNI
der way it would be well to postpone
the operation for a few days. The
Washington weather bureau says there
is a cold wave in sight. and unless all
signs fail it ought to strike here about
Wednesday or Thursday. There nay
even be frost, which will extend as far
south as Baltimore, and while the cold
may be with us for only a day or
two it is likely to be severe enough to
give budding vegetation a setback.
Professor Wiener, of the high school
bureau, said today that the present
rain would continue well into tomor-
row and would do an incalculable
amount of good. Later on in the week
we are likely to have more rain, so that
altogether the indications are that we
will have a week of typical April
weather.
The two or three days of balmy
weather hat we enjoyed last week
CAV vegetation a good start and grass
plots seemed to take on their new
spring dress almost overnight, while
trees and plants have budded much
earlier than usual.
Still, it would be we'll to remember
that we have been fooled before by a
few days of unreasonable balminess,
and it will not pay to take any chances
with lighter weight clothing or early
vegetables until we have stronger
proof that spring is really here to stay.
