STEINER QUITS COUNTY JOB.
City Engineer, Who is Also Count,
Surveyor, Resigns Latter Place.

City Engineer, Who is Also County
Surveyor, Resigns Latter Place.
w. H. Steiner, who has held the
double office of city engineer and coun-
ty surveyor. Wednesday afternoon filed
his resignation Of the latter position
with the board Of supervisors. and 1t
was accepted. This leaves the county
without an official surveyor for the
t1rst time in many years.
Mr.. Steiner's resignation Is a direc'
result Of the resolution adopted in a
recent meeting Of the old council by
which Mr. Steiner was ordered to turn
over to the. city all fees received from
the county for work done as county
surveyor. Mr.. Steiner has said that
the county has never paid him for such
work, and as matter of fact the posi-
ton Of county surveyor carries with it
othing more than the mere title. The
work done is paid for by the individual
who has employed the surveyor.

Charges that the poll books Of the
last election, that are being used as the
basis for the saloons petition Of con-
sent, have been mutilated and names
changed and altered by employees Of the
saloons were openly made this morning
by ]. H Egermayer. representing the
Marshall County Citizens Association
These charges, If substantiated, will, II
is claimed, enter very materially into
the contest over the petitions when that
phase Of the contest is reached.
Up to noon today partial verification
of changes made have, so 1t Is claimed
by Egermayer. been substantiated by
one of the clerks Of the election. who
wrote the names and who declares
they have been changed since the
names were written by him on the day
Of election.
Charge Employees With II.
The saloons employees. girls who
copied the names from the poll books
for the use Of preparing the lists those
circula ting the saloon petitions have
been using. are charged by Egermayer
with making these changes. City Clerk
Wiley and his deputy deny that any
changes were made while these girls
were copying the names in the city
Offices, the books during that time be-
ing supposed to be under the direct
charge of the city clerks office. It Is
this set Of books that the workers for
the Marshall County Citizens Associa-
m ho4v
lists from Since the names were cop
led for the saloon lists the books have
been turned over to the county auditor.
They We're used by the saloons from
shortly after election until last Satur-
day.
Says Names Have Been Altered.
It is the claim Of the ex-county at
torney that scores OF alterations have
been found in the books OF the three
wards that have been examined up to
date These alterations are said to
consist of the changing of letters, the
crossing of u.s." the dotting OF "is."
the completing Of letters, and the adj
dition OF letters.
It is claimed that "es" have been
changed to "is' that in one case an
"h" had been changed to a ''k' and Il"
to an "e." That number Of the last
letters Of names such as ms" have
been given a finishing stroke Of the
pen to make them more complete. and
that in one case where the name Stew
ard was spelled without the "e' the
sc" has been added after the IT,.
Egermayer has compiled a long list
Of these changes, which he declares.
we're made after the books passed from
the election clerks hands and before
the citizens association workers got
them. He is positive that these changes
were made during this time because
the ink used is Of different color.
This phase Of the case is being dug
into diligently just now. and vertical
ton that the changes have been made
is being secured from the clerks who
wrote the names in the books at the
election.
Ir tAe changes were made. as it is al
legged that they were after the books
were in the possession of the clerks.
who were copying them for the saloons,
it was apparently done for the purpose
of making the names and their spelling
palmer. so that the signatures, when
securcl might be identical, Il" for an
~ I'D an "e" for an &c" on both the
book and the petition.

REFORM NEEDED.

That something is wrong with thu
jury system Of this country is ap
parent when one views the slow work
in that line in connection with the
Los Angeles Times dynamiting case
For more than a month the struggle
has been going on in the Los Anegel-
es court room and it appears that
at least another month will be re-
quired to complete the list of the
men who will sit in judgment upon
the life of James B. Mcnamara.
Counsel on both sides are straining
every point to secure men on the
jury favorable to their side of the
case without regard to the fitness of
the men to serve in the. trial. In
telligence is not desired by either
side and, as intelligence is naturally
the result of reading, it appears to
be difficult to find jurors who have
not either read or talked about the
case.
The struggle in Los Angeles serves
to remind one that ther are things
which are done better in other coun-
tries. Take the Crippen case, for
instance. The promptness with which
Crlppen was apprehended, brought to
trial, sentenced and executed is still
fresh IN the mind. This whole pro-
ceedlng was accomplished in less time
than it will take to secure Jury
in the Mcnamara case unless more
rapid progress shall be made hence
forward.
Intelligence should be the prime
requisite of juror. Men of brains
and common sense are less liable TO
be swayed by their prejudices than
those whose mentality is of lesser de-
gree. Let the crime charged be ever q
so hlenous still man who under G
stands fully the duties devolving up- a
ON him as a juror and is convinced II
ot the rights of the accused, and of u
his accusers, is much more liable Il
than others to determine the guilt u
'r innocence Of the prisoner. ST
L.
The jury system in this country has .
been the means of many more es- !"
apes from punishment than of con-
lctions of the guilty parties, and it
largely because of the intricate -
nd cumbersome proceedings that an
urround the selection of "twelve WI
ood men and true" that this is =
-ue, If it were possible to select
OF the most intelligent men of the
immunity on any ease. and leave
le question of guilt or innocence
be determined from the evidence
ibmitted, there would be more ms d..
re Tor prisoner and society alike. e.,
