METHOD TO FIGHT BANDITS

Paris, Sept 2S.-The war-like de-
struction of the Paris bandits several
months ago, when small army was
necessary TO defeat and kill several
terrorists who had turned a house In

SEEK TO REFORM UNFAIR
JURY SYSTEM IN ENGLAND

London, Sept. 2S-The resolution
adopted at the Trades Union Congress
calling upon Parliament 10 reform the
jury system has again revived com
plaint that is shared equally by the
labor and liberal parties Recently O
Liberal newspaper compared the libel
damages assessed during the past
year against various publications
showed that almost invariably labor
ties and liberals were mulcted for
heavy damages while conservatives
were either Relieved from damages or
compelled to pay small penalties.
1t is claimed that this inequality is
due to the fact that judges and court
officials are mainly members of the
conservative party. and that they Sc
lect juries from publicans. who are
bitter against the liberal party on ac-
count OF the Lloyd-George BUDGET
which put a heavy tax on the LIQUOR
trade. At any rate there will be a de-
termined fight made during the com
ing session Of Parliament for the re-
form Of the present system of choos-
ing jurors
The resolution adopted by the labor
congress- not only asks for the aboli-
tion of the distinction between com
mon and special jurors, but demands
adequate payment for al jury ser

ment that Robert iMacCameron, the
Chicago painter. who has been mem
Der of the Paris colony for the last

large and strikingly effective canvas
which is destined for next years Sa-
lon of French Artists II is a sympa
thetic study of a group of "unfortun-
ates" who are passing the night on a
bench on the Thames embanukment
London. Much more than hunger and
physical suffering is depicted in their
faces. Despair is written on each.
The painter has given the picture
the title waiting for the Dawn"
suggesting not only the literal sun
rise. but the better day" which is
hoped for.
Mr.. MacCameron SAID: "Such a
painting as this is united for the
drawing room, of course. but | shall
be pleased II those who sec II I'm the
Salon are made TO think sympatheti-
cally of the type of humanity it rep
resents-the characters back Of the
