and Criminal Courts is urged by ].
H. Lally, Chicago attorney. Accord
ing to Mr.. Lally workingmen are
Disseminated against by the jury
commissioners.
Attorney. Lally characterizes the
average jury of today as '''white-col-
Jared" and contends that before these
class of jurymen the big corporations
facing damage suits are favored.
"These white-collared juries,' said
Mr.. Lally, have enabled the car
companies to win or partially win
nearly every case that has come into
the courts. The Importance of get
ting jury that will be fair to the in
jured person can be seen when the
records of the courts show that one
third of the personal injury suits are
against the street car companies and
these suits take up two-thirds of the
courts time And most of the COM
plainants in these suits are working
men, or from poor families"
A list of 900 jurors drawn in Feb
ruary, 1913, for service in the NUM-
cipal and Criminal Courts, can be
divided into three classes:
1. Men who work with their
hands at Iaborious occupations, in
which are included chauffeurs, rail-
road engineers, craftsmen, electri-
clans, motormen, repairmen, train |
operators, as well as the various
trades, such as carpenters, machin-
lists, bakers, etc. From this class
there were 80 jurymen drawn.
2. Men who work under others, |
but not at manual labor, under which |
head are included such occupations |
as accountants, bookkeepers, office |
clerks, clerks not classified, solicitors, |
statesmen, musicians, messengers,
stenographers, telegraph operators,
etc. From this class there were 248 |
drawn.
8. Men who are either employers
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1913-11-15

ueaQ are 1ncluQG0 managers, agents,
bankers, brokers, inspectors, fore
men, insurance agents, manufacture
ers, merchants, presidents of cor
porations, superintendent etc. From
this class Al, the largest number,
were drawn.
The few others who made up the
rest of the 1000 are marked with
occupation unknown or Unclassifed.
That makes 81 per cent of the
jurymen from the workingmen and
Al per cent from the employers class.
1t is ridiculous to imagine that such
a proportion applies to the county at
large.
Obviously there is something
wrong with the present system. How
they are drawn it is impossible to
say. The fairest way to select venire-
men is to go through the city direc-
tory and select each fifth, tenth or
fifteenth name. This is done in all
progressive counties.
The Lawyers Assn of Illinois at
their last regular meeting was asked
to protest against this condition of
affairs, but showed no enthusiasm.
1t is the contention of Attorney
Lally that the injured persons in
damage suits against street car COM
panies are Disseminated against by
the so-called "white-collared juries.
He believes that they are more easily
swayed than the other kind.

PUBLICITY FOR
STATE RESOURCES

1t has never been customary ia
spend public funds to any extent
in the form of advertising. So
much taxpayers money slips along
the easy path of ordinary expendi-
ture that some needed enterp rises
are not undertaken.
The subject is suggested by the
Legislature of so conservative a
state as New Hampshire recently
made an appropriation to advertise
the state as summer resort This
is kind of thing that individual
cities are doing, overriding in some
cases but which is but rarely done
by state as a who'll.
Individual localities, boards of
trade and merchants associations
real estate dealers, hotels and rail
roads circulate good deal of lit
erature. But no comprehensive
systematic effort has been made to
set forth in one telling appeal all
the resources of this state 1t is
the kind Of thing which being
everybody's tusiness is nobody's.
A host of city people are looking
for agricultural land or for sum.
mer homes for rest and refresh

business The American people are

TO CINCINNATI
CHRISTIAN GOES
AFTER PRISONER
Bring ESCAPE TO AMERIClJS
Safe.CfaCker viii Be Brought
Back Here

Supt. Henry Christian, of the Sum-
ter county roads department, left last
night for Cincinnati, where Luther
Gloer, a felony convict who escaped
from the Sumter county changing, is
held in custody. Supt Christian car
ried the reward of $50 which will be
paid the Cincinnati detectives who
spotted the Georgia safe-cracker in
that city two days ago and arrested
him.
Supt. Christian will reach the Ohio
metropolis Sunday morning and long
before the Xmas bells ring here Gloer
will be safely back in the Sumter
stockade.
Gloer is a long term safe cracker,
and was sent up from Fulton county
to serve a term of seven years. He
made his getaway last February from
the prison stockade here in Americas.
He is a shrewd individual and has
successfully lodged the police in sew
eral cities. Gloer is a white mai
and had served little of his term of
seven years in the Sumter gang.
His escape will lengthen his SEN
tence, and Supt. Christian will see to
it that he does not again jump the
stoc1ade.

the professional pan-handler or street
mindicant and those who are chased
out of Macon, under orders of the chief
of police, find a haven here, where no

a remarkable fact that five legless
men struck the town yesterday and did
a thriving business in collecting coins
from holiday shoppers. Three of these
worked" the town during the morn
ing and left at 2 o'clock for Albany,
while two others came in at the same
hour. Each panhandler has lost both
limbs at the knee or just below, but
could get about the best street corners
all right. More than a score of these
professionals have been in Americas
recently, and doubtless others are on
the way, to find things easy.

SUPREME COURT
GIVES DECISION
IMPORTANT SUIT
AGAINST GEORGIA POWER CO.
On Cases Appealed From
Newton County

Atlanta, Ga, Dec. 10. That per-
sons whose property is damaged by
the backing up of the waters of a
stream may bring suit in the county
where the damage occurred, although
the corporation responsible may have
its offices and dam and plant in other
counties, was held today by the
state supreme court in six cases
brought by citizens of Newton county
against the Central Georgia Power
company, of Macon. These cases were
brought up on demurrer from the
Newton superior court. The Central
Georgia Power company has its Of
fees and headquarters in Macon, bat
its plant and dam are located on the
Ocmulgee river in Butts county. The
complaining Newton county citizens
brought suit against the company, al
leging that the dam in Butts county
had caused the Ocmulgee river to o.
erfiow its banks in Newton county and
do damage to crops in rich lowlands.
The power company demurred to these
suits on the ground that they should b.
brought in the county in which the
offices or plant of the company are 10
Gated. The demurrer was sustained.
Now the supreme court reverses the
lower court and the suits can come
ND for trial on their merits in Newton
county.
