WOMEN JURORS
NEED CHAP PERON !?
SPOKANE SUPERIOR COURT CON-
FRoNTED 6Y QUESTION AS
REGARD OF NEW LAW.

Spokane, Wash, July 17.-What to
do with women who will be called to
serve as jurors with men when the
Spokane county superior court con.
yenes next September iS one OF the
yexing problems confronting the i've
members OF the bench, headed by
Judge Henry. L. Kennan. The various
clubs in Spokane have given out state
mSnts that their members are ready
and willing to do jury duty. The
judges hope q modern Solomon or
Portia will come forward to unravel
the tangles presented by the possible
situations:
II twelve women are selected to try
a case and six disagree from the other
six.
II four women decided they are right
in a civil action and six men jurors
held opposite Views.
II mixed Jury Of men and women is
kept together In felony case until AL
are agreed upon verdict
II six women and six men are lock-
ed in q room to determine the guilt or
innocence of q person charged with Q
capital crime.
Relating to service jurors in the su.
perior court, the law adopted BY tho
legislature Of 1911 says:
ANY woman desiring to be excused
from jury service may claim exenp.
tions by. signing written or printed
notice thereof and returning same to
the sheriff before the date Of appear
ance, and II exemption Is claimed by
reason Of sex no fee shall be allowed
rny. hor annoancA
The law provides that the Jury
sworn to try the issue IN felony cases
shall be kept together and In custody
OF the officers OF the court, except dur.
ing the actual progress OF the trial,
thus putting 1t squarly up to the Judge
to solve the problem, or allowing the
question to solve itself, the women
who desire to serve as Jurors cannot
settle It themselves.

INDEPENDENTS
FEAR THE TRUST
SAYS PLANTER
President Of Louisiana AS
sociation Says Refiners
Keep Out Of Trust Terri
tory; Tariff is Needed.

Washington, D. c., July 17.-That
Louisiana sugar planters and indie
pendent refiners fear the American
Sugar Refining company was declared
today by j. e. Burgieres, president oi
the Louisiana Planters association, be
fore the house sugar trust committee
He testified that reduction of the sugar
tariff would ruin the Louisiana sugar
industry. q
II can't get independent refiners to
come to Louisiana and bid on our
sugar" he said. "They say they will
not come into our field, but will buy
our sugars ii we get them into their
market.
They gave no satisfactory reason
for 1t, but made my own deductions
that the Independent refiners regard
Louisiana as American Sugar Refining
company territory and refuse to entel
that territory for fear they will pre-
cipitate trouble for themselves with
the trust. They have stayed away
ever since we got into trouble with
the trust for selling to outsiders sew
eral years ago"
do the Independents have any
agreement to keep away from the ter
ritoryy" asked Representative Madi
son.
Il think not. The condition res. is
from q combined fear OF the planters
to sell away from the trust and II in
dependent rehners to invade what II
considers trust territory.
II predict crop of one million tons
of sugar q year In Louisiana and Texas
within few years. II the sugar tar
ifi is cut in half 1t would Immediately
Eannihilate the sugar industry of Louis
lana and affect the prosperity Of more
than two million people"
All Of the 'sugar trust committee
except Representative Fordney o.
Michigan, lett this afternoon for New
York to hear testimony there begin
ming with John Arbuckle tomorrow
The committee will inquire into sugar
publications said to be dominated By
the trust.

III KILLED IN
NINE DISASTER
FATALITIES At DUBOIS, PA, DUE
70 AFTER DAMP; THREE SETS
or BROTHERS DEAD.

Du Bois, Pa. July 17.-Twenty-one
miners were killed in an explosion In
the shaft Of the Cascade Coal and
Coke company's mine at Sykesville,
nine miles from here. Saturday night.
u The bodies OF the .twenty-0ne- vic,
tins were brought s to the surface.
There was no excitement about the
mouth Of the pit. The bodies were not
mutilated or burned and it is quite evi,
dent that. the men died as the result OF
after damp.
GA. Burrell, the chemist with the
bureau Of mine car from Pittsburg.
took a quantity Of blood from the body
OF each victim and will analys 1t for
the purpose OF determining the num-
Der killed by the explosion and the
number meeting deaths by after damp.
The explosion occurred at $50, but
it was after midnight before the ex-
tent OF the disaster was known All
Of the dead but three are foreigners.
The explosion was slight, as evidenced
by the small damage done in the mine.
but the deadly afaerdamp Is response
BILE for most OF the deaths.
Three Sets Of Brothers Dead.
Three sets Of brothers and father
and son are numbered among the
dead. George and John Heck and
Nick Pavelick and his Is year old son
were found by the rescuers locked in
each others arms. None Of the
bodies were mutilated, but several
showed burns.
Eleven OF the men had apparently
made ready to escape, for they carried
their dinner pals and were headed
for th opening.
The first intimation OF the explosion,
at the surface, was when the safety
door on the fan blew open and the
machinery began to run wild. It was
surnised there was, trouble below,
but 1t was almost midnight when
rescuers could enter the mine. 1t
took some time to get to the scene
OF the accident, mile and half
from the opening, because the rescuers
were obliged to carry oxygen with
them.
Think Man Drilled Into Gas.
Neither mine oficials nor mine In.
spectors are able to assign cause for
the explosion, a. there are no sur
yivors from which to gain an explana-
tion, but 1t is the general belief that
some OF the men drilled into a pocket
Of gas.
Six men working in another heading
of the mine knew nothing OF the ex.
plosion until the compressed air stop

Knocked from his rock drill They
realized something had happened but
did not know the nature Of 1t until
they met party Of rescuers coming
for them.

Gompers, Mitchell and Nor
4 rison Attack Legality of
the Proceedings an dthe
Jurisdiction Of the Court.

Washington, d. c., July lT.-Attack-
ing the jurisdiction of the court and
the legality of the proceedings, Presi-
dent Samuel Gompers, Vice President
John Mitchell and Secretary Frank
Morrison, OF the American Federation
of Labor, appeared in the equity
branch Of the supreme court of the
District of Columbia, today to resist
the latest contempt order issued
against them by Justice light. The
first moves were of On nature
and were overruled by J.ss.,ce Wright.
A motion to dismiss on the ground
the service of the order was incomplete
was sustained, but when Justice
Wright directed the marshal to serve
new papers forthwith the point was
waived.
Next the defendants moved to dis
miss because the report OF the com.
mittee of lawyers submitted to the
court in the case was not proper
one. in that the members Of the COM
mittee did not and could not exercise
the judicial qualities required IN the
order. 1t was contended that the
members Of the committee were coun-
sci for the National Anti-Boycott asso-
citation and the conclusion OF the
Bucks Stove and Range company,
case did not stop their persecution
Of these defendants, therefore, they
were not qualified to pass Judgment
upon the acts of the defendants
The hearing today promised to be q
lengthy one. If all Of the various mo-
tions by the defendar are dismissed
an answer to the order will. be hled
within the next two weeks. Should
the court hold that the answer carries
a question Of fact the case will go over
until October, when all of the mem.
bers Of the district supreme court
probably will Sit with Justice Wright
~ advisers. This was announced by
Justice Wright today. 3.s
Technically, the defendants appear
ed by counsel only today, Judge Alton
,B. Parker Of New York, and the local
law arm of Ralston. Siddon and Rich
ardson, representing them. But In
reality all three were on hand before
court convened, conferr!ng with their
lawyers and friends.
j. ]. Darlington and Daniel Daven-
port, members OF the committee OF
lawyers, appeared as prosecutors. j.
NJ. Brenk, the third member Of the
committee is in Europe.
Court Admits Bias in Case.
This motion was overruled. the
court holding that the members of
the committee were prosecutors and
not called upon to exercise judicial
functions. In ruling, the court re-
marked that even had the committee
reported that there were no reason
able grounds for contempt charges,
such report would not have been
received.
Gompers' attorneys at once protest.
ed that in view OF the expressions by
the court they should not be compelled
to proceed but that Justice Wright
should certify the case to some other
Justice for trial Justice Wright curtly
dismissed the protest with you may
proceed" An exception was noted.
The motion to strike out the names
OF. Davenport, Darlington and Beck as
prosecutors and substitute that Of the
district attorney was oyerruled in so
far as the members of the committee
were concerned.
The hearing was adjourned until
next Monday without action.

Mr.. Mills Road to CIarl>ton.

"Mr G.. Herbert Smith, of Cronly,
in speaking Of the road Col. Mills pro-
poses to build to Clarkton, stated
yesterday that he believed the line
would ultimately be completed. and
the suppositiGn is tina it will not
com via WI tevil1e. but make for
Southport through the eastern sec
ton Of our county, and that Cronly
YOU make an effort to capture the
line. 1t seems that Mr.. Mills had
bought his cross-ties to complete the
road to Clarkton, but he had some
trouble about negotiating his bonds,
owing 20 the little tightness in the
money market. It is now thought
that he will straighten out matters
and soon start work again on his
road
