JURyWOMEN PROBLEM

Some Speculation as to What VIII
Happen in Certain
Situations

SPOKANE, Wash, July 10.--Whai

the Spokane county superior couI
convenes next September, is one q
the vexing problems confronting TIN
five members of the bench, headed
by Judge Henry l.. KEENAN,. The va
rious clubs dn Spokane have given out
statements that their members ara
ready and willing to do jury duty.
The Judges hope d modern Solomon
or Portia will come forward to I'M
ravel the tangles presented by these
possible situations:
If II women are selected to try z
case and six disagree from the othes
six.
right in a civil action and six men
jurors hold opposite views.
If mixed jury of men and women
is kept together in a felony case I'M
til all are agreed upon a verdict.
II six men and six women ara
locked in a room to determine the
guilt or innocence Of a person charg-
ed with a capital crime?
Relating to service of jurors in the
superior court the law adopted by
the Legislature of 1911 says:
ANY woman desiring to be ex
cused from jury service may claim
exemption by signing written or
printed notice thereof and returning
same to the sheriff before the date of
appearance, and if exemption is
claimed by reason of her sex. no
fee shall be allowed for her appear
ance."
The law provides that the il,rv
sworn to try the issues in felony
cases shall be kept together and in
custody of the officers of the court
except during the actual progress of
the trial thus putting it squarely up
to the judges to solve the problem. al

community generally as il would
bring people here for an outing who
do not now come. At one time the
streams were alive with fish. They
are disappearing rapidly and it is
not the fishermen who are killing
them off The feeling is becoming
SO strong that it is probable that the
whole system of game protection will
be attacked and an effort made to
have the state system substituted IN
its stead.
Gle Elum Point of View
1t will be a surprise to many peo-
pie to learn that the destruction or
fish has made itself felt not only here
but as high in the hills as the Gle
Elum country. This is shown by the
following editorial from the Gle Elum
Echo:
"A couple of weeks ago reference
was made to the suggestion brought
out in the remarks of those who were
discussing the prosecution of under
sized trout fishers that the failure to
keep screens at irrigation ditch In
takes was mo.e cause of destruc-
ton than the taking of understood
fish by the hook and line method.
lnasmuch as the fish, both large and
small, tloated down on the meadows
and helped fertilize the land, or were
left stranded in the bitches when the
water was shut off and in many cases
were picked up by the bucketfuls.
the idea was advanced that this ought
to be stopped. An investigation made
by the game awrden proves that the
law does not provide for the screen
ing of bitches and until this matter
is remedied by statute there is prob
ably no legal method of preventing
the destruction that is permitted by
those who don't care"
Phcasants are Chased
Destruction of pheasants is re-
ported to be in progress very close
to the city limits. In one or two
cases men who have planted grain
claim that the birds are nuisance.
They have considered themselves jus
tilted in driving them away or kill
ing them. In one or two other in
stances newcomers nave killed them.
it is said, for the feathers and to
taste the meat. In Il great many
other instances the nests have been
disturbed by people DESTROYS of
Matching pheasant chicks in captiv-
ity Still another cause of the de-
struction of the birds is said to be
dogs. Because of the fondness of
the birds for running before taking
wing they constitute good sport for

and in some sections the dogs have
hunted together in bands and either
killed the birds or driven them out.

Atwood DeScendS
At Tuckerton, But
Pushes on Again

ATLANTIC CITY. N. j., July A.
Harry N. Atwood. the young aviator
who is trying 10 fly from New York to
Washington today, had more trouble
with his gasolene tank after leaving
Seagirt and before reaching here. He
had to land at Tuckerton. a few miles
north of this city, to replenish his sup
ply. at 1890, but got away again at
1886.
Reports from Atwood's route show he
passed Long Branch at $50 o'clock, fly
ing at a height of about 1000 feet, and
going steadily and rapidly. Elberon re-
ported that he passed that point, flying
high and easily, at 9:5S. He passed As
bury Park at l0:12 and aliGhted at Sea-
girt at 1922.
The fresh start from Seagirt was
made at 1887 and at HIS Seaside
Park reported Atwood had passed
there, flying at height of about $50
feet and moving slowly. At 1890 he
was reported as having landed at
Tuckerton.
Thousands of people are out waiting
for his arrival here.

supposed. while at work at the ord
nance shops at Giesboro Point early to-
day, and plunged from the top of a
gas tank. He died before a physician
reached him. Soper's skull had been
fractured.
Soper is survived by two sons. He
was a gas worker. He complained of
being Ill when he went to work last
night None Of his fellow-employes
saw him for some time preceding the
finding of his body. He was supposed
to have been working at the top Of
one of the large producers"
About / go o'clock Samuel Cook, a fel-
low-employe, stumbled across the body
lying at the foot of the big tank. Soper
was apparently still alive. A call was sent
for DR.. A. NJ. Meloy. When the phy-si-
clan arrived he pronounced the man
dead. Acting Coroner White directed
that the body be surrendered to the
mans family and will give a certificate
of accidental death.

Children Sing and Play
And Orators Orate at
Fairgrounds Celebrations

Children sang patriotic songs. waved
flags and listened to orations on the
Declaration of Independence in eight
Fairgrounds this morning. Most Of the
programs started at 10 o'clock and after
the exercises the children spent their
holiday in the more childish pastime
of playing on the apparatus and joining
hands in games.
Many of the prominent members of
the bar forgot flights of oratory and
figures of speech long enough to de-
scend to the childish plane and talk
patriotism to the little boys and girls
in one-syllable words.
Judge William H. De Lacy, who spoke
at the Gallinger playground, paid a
tribute to Senator Gallinger, after
whom the playground was named. Rep
