Particularly among lovers of art and
eonnoisseurs of antiquities is this
feeling manifested, for Mr.. Morgan
did much to aid art in this city. IN
fact, the splendid new building Of
the American Academy on the Jani-

large part of the funds used in its
erection. and he took the keenest pos

posal, which Mr. Fielder turned down
today.
The majority bill provides that the
power to draw juries be continued in
the sheriffs; that eligible lists for
grand and petit jurors shall be pre-
pared and kept on file by the sheriffs;
that the grand as well as petit juries
are to be drawn in the presence Of
the court.
In both the McDermott bills it is
provided that they shall automatically
be submitted to the voters next fall,
so that there will not have to be
initiating petitions as was provided
in the referendums the House had put
on the jury bills.
The minority of the committee, in
Guiding Senators Davis and Slocum,
