JURORS CONDUCT IN NDIVINC
WITH DIR. FRITCH IS ROTTEN
Court Makes Scathing Denuncia-
tion Of Celebration of
Physicians Acquittal
PLANS TO DISMISS
REGULAR PANEL MEMBERS
Says Such Verdicts Are Possible
Because Good Men Refuse
to Serve on Juries

In scathing denunciation OF the
action OF those jurors who indulged in
a feast In Alt Heidelberg. at the ex.
perse OF DIR. George A. Fritcn, whom
they had Just acquitted Of the charge
OF killing Maybelle Millman. Judge
Phelan, Saturday morning, character
lied the jurors conduct as rotten.
Two members OF the regular panel
for the September term Of the record.
cr's court were included In the
Jury. and Judge Phelan Is now con-
Quoting an investigation, to learn
whether they participated In the
celebration" OF Fritch's acqujttal.
They will be questioned when they
come into court, Monday, and II
Judge Phelan learns that they were
present, they will be Immediately dis
missed from the jury panel, and In
formed that they are not regarded as
N for jury service.
1T was a great surprise to me to
learn of that dinner. through the
morning papers," said Judge Phelan.
Our instructions TO jurors are that
they must not permit themselves to
become interested In any way with
any OF the parties to trials; that they
must hold themselves aloof They
Lave been told that this Is the only
way to avoid jury scandals. They
have been told that they must not
accept any favors from any parties
to trial, either before or after the
verdict Is rendered. Their conduct
In accepting favor after rendering
their verdict is open TO criticism.
with the conduct OF those who
were called as talesmen for the Fritch
jury, the court has nothing to do,
after their service is over of course,
but II Is inconceivable to me that
men could ballot for hours on the
case of DR.. Fritch, and afterward ac-
oept his invitation to partake of a
duct, In my opinion. Is simply rotten.
The term isn't elegant but It's very
expressive.
'Tf hear that fhe two Jurors of
the regular panel so forgot themselves
as tc accept place at that banquet
! shall Immediately dismiss them from
further jury service.
II should think that the jurors
would have had more respect for the
womanhood In their own homes than
TO indulge in what | understand was
an eating and drinking bout with the
man whom they had just freed from a
charge OF terrible crime against a
young woman.
Such verdicts as the Fritch verdicr
will be possible tntif those engaged
in the business world decide that 1t
Ia not below their dignity to serve
the state as jurors In such cases"

Citizens associations throughout the
District are passing resolutions vigorous
ly indorsing the bill recently introduced
by Senator Gallinger designed to prevent
the increase In the water rates ordered
by the Commissioners for the next fiscal
year. There can be no question about the
local sentiment in this matter, and IL
Congress heeds 1t the pending bill will
be enacted in season to keep the rates as
at present. In this situation the ques-
ton arises as to the necessity of the
change. The majority of the Commits
sioners contend that the higher rates are
ice, but statistics have been presented to
show that this is not the case, but that
the present rates suffice for adequate ad-
ministration. An effort has been made to
prove the Commissioners contention by
bringing into the computation OF main
tenance cost interest on the money spent
originally by the United States for the
establishment Of the initial plant, which
was designed as q federal enterprise, and
for which the District was I'm no sense or
degree financially responsible. II the
Senate District committee will give prop
er consideration to this bill-and il is not
to be doubted that 1t will-the lack OF
necessity for increased rates can be clear
ly demonstrated. Those who are opposed
to water rate increase should be prepar-
ed to be represented before the commit
tee by a delegation of substantial citizens
who can effectively present the convinc-

A Wet and Woeful Time.

OF course there is no use grumbling or
complaining. but this Is certainly q most
discouraging sort of spring. Here 1t is
past the middle of May and fires are still
necessary to prevent discomfort. Rain
falls with such frequency that no one Is
safe when out of the house unless pro-
vided with an umbrella and waterproof
and a pair of overshoes, even though the
sun may be shining at the time. Sports
of all kinds are being interfered with and
a professional base ball game shows
considerable deficiency over last years
gate receipts. When the circus was in
town last week and its presence was
marked by the usual downpour 1t was
generally thought that better time was
coming. but since then there have been so
few fair days that they are now remem-
bered as exceptional spots Of brightness.
If this sort of weather Is the result of sun
spots the countenance of his solar majesty
must be sadly freckled. One OF the mis-
fortunes of this sort Of weather is that 1t
causes the pessimists to croak about
worse times to come. limiting at long dry
spells in midsummer when all these nice
showers will be remembered with regret
Sufficient unso the day is the evil thereof,
and there Is enough cause for dissatisfac-
ton with the present climate without
borrowing trouble respecting weather to
come. Somewhere the sun Is shining,
somewhere the skies are clear, and IL
Washington could only know where It
would be happy in the reflection of the
Joy of other people.

are not to be commended generally as a
means of reaching the evil OF Industrial
incendiarism. but the situation at San
Diego has been such as to call for direct
and drastic means OF public protection
The patience of the people has been
sorely tried by the agitators who have
sought to establish at San Diego cen
ter of radicalism affecting the entire
state with its malevolent activities. The
plea Of free speech" has been. used to
excuse a series of the most infiammatorv
addressed by cart-tail orators. and the red
flag has been waved on more than one
occasion. The American flag was SUBJ
jected to indignities recently, and the
public temper has been aroused to such
a pitch that lynchng has been openly
proposed for the members Of the organ
ization.
Wherever this group of radicals appears
disorder develops. The country Is, OF
course, not menaced by their present &C
tivities, for they are mere handful, yet
their appeal is to the lowest intelligence
and to the most troublesome spirits in
the states They denounce the courts,
condemn the police. revile the law and
appeal to the basest passions in an at
tempt to arouse the people against the
existing social organization. Emma
Goldman is we'll known as a preacher of
an incendiary doctrine and her identi-
fication with this cause stamps it IS dan
gerous It is to be hoped that at least
the spirit shown by the California peo-
pie toward this organization will be fol-
lowed elsewhere to such an extent that
the Industrial Workers of the World will
conclude that the American people are
not to be deluded and misled into tur-
moil

San Diego's Example.

II would probably be better for the
general security and industrial peace of
this country if the people of all parts felt
and acted-perhaps with little modera-
ton in details-toward the leaders of the
mischievous organization known as the
Industrial Workers Of the World as have
those of the southern part Of California,
where that anarchistic association has
been recently attempting TO gain a foot
hold. Some time ago squad OF agita-
tors working in this interest so aroused
public feeling at San Diego that the men
were driven out Of the county under pen
atty OF death il they returned. A Wig
ilance committee has been formed TO
combat the radicals who are attempting
to start a free speech" propaganda at
San Diego. and Emma Goldman and her
manager. Reitman. have just discovered
that the citizens composing IL are decid-
eddy In earnest. They took Reitrnan into
the outskirts OF the city and applied a
coat OF tar and feathers In addition TO
branding on his back the initials of the
organization for which he was working.
They also notified Miss Goldman that she
was to leave the city and she was fortu-
nate to get out without suffering indig-
mites.

The Contest Industry at Chicago.

Two hundred contests al chicago
Quite a tidy number. Looks like an In
dustry. 1t ought to be thoroughly inves-
tigated.
If the word industry applies. large
amount of money has been necessary TO
organize it. From what sources has the
coin been collected? What agents have
placed il where they thought it would do
the most good? What states have been
visited? What methods have been used?
Ii inducements other than money have
been held out what? Trading politicians
sometimes employ the promise OF office in
their business. Some men not approach
able with a proposition on basis of spot
cash will listen respectfully to susges-
ton of patronage for themselves or their
lieutenants
Chairman Mckinley is of opinion that
the Roosevelt campaign is being literally
financed. 1t seems likely. The "angels"
mentioned in connection with it are of
brilliant and abundant plumage. And
they wing about a good deal. They know
the way to many roosts, and are prob
ably good collectors.
The republican national committee has
the time to go into this matter. and
should do so. 1t should take every step
to prevent the Lorimerizing of the Chicago
convention. Schemes for handling dele
gates from this section or that should be
defeated. If they are not, the Spring
field scandal will be a small thing by
comparison The word Lorimerizing will
give place to another of later mintage.
The Roosevelt attitude toward the
southern delegates is like the Roosevelt
attitude toward the bosses. Such as are
for him are all right. Such as are for
Taft are all wrong. He dwells upon the
fact that the southern states contribute
no republican electoral votes. but still
he wants their support at Chicago, and
report has 1t that extraordinary efforts
are being put forth to secure 1T.
The Star discussed this matter months
ago, and still adheres to the opinion then
expressed. The southern vote should not
make the nomination at Chicago. If 1t
does, the nomination will be weakened
by that fact before the country. But IL
any portion of that vote should go to Mr..
Roosevelt as the result of expert han
ding" by machine politicians operating
through trumped-up contests, a scandal
will be added to the equation which in
the event of Mr.. Roosevelt's nomination
will be milestone around his neck.
So far as this matter is concerned,
national committeeman have a duty to
perform which should lift them above
division into groups. There should be no
Taft men, or Roosevelt men, or La Fol-
lette or Cummins men when 1t comes to
barring Doodle from the convention in
any form.
