SCHEUER'S NEW SYSTEM
OF FILLING JURY WHEEL.

George G. Scheuer, clerk of the
United States court for the Middle
district, who with the jury commits
sioner makes the selection of jurors
for the grand and petit panels, has
adopted a systematic method of gain
ing the proper representation of citi-
Zens of all classes and sections of
the district on the juries. Mr..
Scheuer depends on the president
judges of the counties in the district,
the postmasters, referees in bank
ruptcy and newspaper editors for the
names to fill the wheel, sending to
these a circular letter that sets forth
the requirements for eligibility to
jury duty.
That part of the circular letter in
which the qualifications and restric-
tions are set forth, follows:
In order to enable us to perform
our duty intelligently, and make a
judicious and creditable selection,
will you be so kind as to furnish the
names of sober, honest and discreet
persons of your county, whom you
may deem suitable for jurors, hav-
ing regard to health and age, as well
as other qualifications, and to whom
you would be willing to submit a
cause for arbitration; excluding
clergymen, physicians and teachers
actively engaged as such; persons
employed in any public office; en-
ployees of telegraph companies, and
persons whose duties could not be
performed by others in their alb
sence, as cashiers of banks, or fore
men of large factories.
"The names furnished should be
selected without reference to party
affiliations, and without the knowl-
edge of the parties themselves, for
although the lists will be preserved
for future reference, no person,
whose name may be drawn, will be
informed by whom he was recon-
mended.
In addition to the name, please
give the occupation and the resi-
dence or postofiice address, using the
accompanying slip for this purpose. "

THE HIGHWAYS.

, Harrisburg, Feb. SIT is not the
intention to omit from the program
for highway legislation in the gen
eral assembly of 1913 provision for
the construction of highways by state
aid, which has been a feature of the
constructive work of this branch of
the State government for the past
nine years. During meetings of var
ious organizations in this city in the
last fortnight fears were expressed
that this method of construction
might be done away with but assur-
ance has been given in authoritative
quarters that due allowance for
State aid is to be made.
1t was said on several occasions
during the recent meetings that the
object of highway legislation this
session would be solely for the con-
struction and maintenance of the
main State highways designated by
the act of 1911. This is not the
case. The plan is to build such
highways out of the proceeds of the
$50,000,000 bond issue which ap-
pears to be generally favored
throughout the State, as the most
economical and satisfactory method
of securing the money for this pur-
pOoG. ne oldlS hlS Ii DClnS
thus provided for will not interfere
in any way with the State-aid work
or the distribution of funds to town
ships for local road improvement or
as bonus for abolition Of the archaic
work tax.
In the act of 1911 a specific ap-
preparation of $1,00O,OOO was made
for the building of roads by state
aid, the commonwealth to bear fifty
per cent. of the cost and the remand
er to be divided between the county
applying for state aid, and the town
ship or borough where the road was
to be built. This plan it is purpos-
ed to preserve and to make liberal
appropriation to carry it on. Over
400 applications for State aid were
made during 1912, and it is expected
from the interest displayed in a
number of counties, that fully as
many may be made during 1913.

LOCAL OPTION men HEARING
TWO VIEWS
County" and "Ward' Units Are
BOtbering Legislators at Har-
risburg.

The discussion last week on local
option legislation centered around
the two plans that have been pro-
posed for the house and senate.
These plans and the argument for
both are:
1. The ward, township and bor-
ough units. The ward unit would
apply to cities only, while in bor-
oughs and townships the unit would
be the municipality. Those who ad-
vocate this plan declare that it
wouldn't be very long after the
smaller units were made effective
that the larger units would come be-
cause the example would prove, they
say, the benfit of local option.
2. The county unit. This plan has
two aspects, one in which the county
in each case is the unit, and the
other a plan that would have all cit
les and boroughs with a population
of 10000 each in a separate unit
and the rest of the counties, exclu-
sive of the cities and boroughs unit
An argument made for this plan by
superintendent Carroll last week
was that if county option were car
ried in Pennsylvania, within a year
thirty counties would go dry.
Representative who entered into
the discussion admitted that they
were Influenced largely by the effect
of each bill on their particular com
munity. For exmple, if a mans
town would go local option under the
ward unit, and the county would go
wet on the option issue by county
vote, the legislator would probably
be for a ward unit bill. And it work
ed the other way, too. If mans
county would go dry on the county
vote and the ward that the man lived
in inclined to go wet" the repre-
sentative would be for county op-
tion.
From all one is able to learn of
the local option situation, it appears
that the recent election has had the
effect of giving to the local option
cause a larger support than it has
had for many years past, or ever in
the history of Pennsylvania.

GUARDING THE PUBLIC HEALTH.

When soldiers enter a town where
there is rioting, they stand guard in
groups of four at the intersecting of
the streets where there is danger.
The soldiers face each other, each
man watching one street. Each one
looks ahead for signs of trouble
knowing that his comrade is doing
likewise. Thus each man guards the
other from attacks from the rear.
Why not apply this rule to the
battle against disease? Urge upon
your neighbor the importance of CO.
operation. Protect him from disease
and expect him to do the same for
you. Don't spit lest your neighbor
be harmed; wash your milk bottles
so that your neighbor by your eX-
ample may be encouraged to do like
wise. Wherever you have an oppor-
tunity insist that your Board of
Health enforce its regulations. If
your neighbor has tuberculosis, see
that his home is disinfected when he
leaves it. Insist that the milkman
serve clean milk. Don't buy food
stuffs that are exposed to dust. Take
an interest in your water supply.
See that it is not contaminated. De-
mand that trolley cars, conveyances,
public halls and other places be
properly ventilated. Keep the air
in your own home fresh so that Visi-
tors may be encouraged by your good
example.

PROPOSED CHANGES IN The
AUTO LAWS
May Increase License Fees on
Trucks; All Vehicles to Carry
Lights.

Owners of $4,000 automobiles in
Pennsylvania will be interested in
various propositions that are to be
offered to the present Legislature for
changes in the automobile law.
Bills have been prepared and are
ready for introduction, making new
regulations for motor trucks and mo-
torcycles. 1t is proposed to increase
the license fees on trucks; because
their greater wear and tear on
streets and roads. They now pay
So, $40 and SIS, according to horse
power, the same as pleasure vehicles.
The bill also will provide regulations
as to the weight of trucks and the
size of their wheels. A separate law
is proposed for motorcycles because
of the many ways in which regula-
tions intended for the larger We
hicles will not apply to them.
The City of Philadelphia will ask
the right to make it's own rules for
motorcars, irrespective of the uni
form State law Organized motor
lists will fight this. Under the pres
ent law the speed limit in the coun-
try is twenty-four miles an hour and
in built-up sections twelve, and no
municipality can enforce other limits.
There is prospect of fight over
the licensing of drivers. The pres
ent law requires a license of 'every
person desiring to operate a motor
vehicle as a chauffeur or paid oper-
ator." The State Highway Depart
ment contends this includes every
one driving a car except the owner
who has paid a license fee for the
car. The Pennsylvania Motor Fed
thn Dhi1-
adelphia courts that chauffeur" and
paid operator" were one and the
same. The department sticks to it's
requirement that members of an
owners family or others who wish
to drive must obtain drivers Ii
censes. The Federation has advised
it's members to disregard the depart
ment's requirement.
The Federation is prepared to
amend the law to provide beyond
question that only paid drivers re-
quire license. On the other hand an
effort will probably e made to pro-
hibit anyone from operating an au-
tomobile except after examination
and licensing as in Massachusetts.
All motor organizations will oppose
this.
The motorists will renew their eff
fort of previous sessions to get a law
compelling all vehicles to carry
lights at night. The Grangers have
succeeded in beating this bill in the
past. On the other hand the auto
mobolists anticipate having to fight
an effort to raise the fees on pleas
ure vehicles. Their organization had
a hard fight two years ago to defeat
a bill to increase the minimum from
S. to $25 and the maximum from
SIS to SIS. The present rates bring
in a revenue of nearly million dol
lars year.

MARRIAGE WILL
BE REGULATED.
Richards Law Will Put a Stop to
Some Gretna Green Stunts.

There is a bill before the House
which will make it hard for runaway
couples who go to Wilmington or
other Gretna Greens and then re-
turn to this State to live. Their
marriage will be invalidated if con-
tracted after the proposed law
passes,
The bill was introduced by Repre-
sentative George w. Richards and is
very similar although somewhat
more drastic, to the bill which pass
ed both Senate and House at the last
session but which fell under the
Governors veto.
The bill is to forbid the marriage
of any person having transmissable
disease. Consumptives, epileptics
and others are barred from matri-
mony.
The bill also regulates the grant
ing of licenses and the making of
proper returns to and by the clerks
of the orphans courts. Uniform ap-
plications for licenses shall be used
all over the State. The same par
ticulars as to antecedents of the con-
tracing parties and their parents as
are now in force are required under
the new law
No person of unsound mind or un-
der guardianship as being of feeble
mentality can be granted a license,
and no person under the influence
of liquor or drugs can get license.
No male person who has been with
in the previous five years an inmate
of an almshouse or asylum is en-
titled to license. The judges of
the orphans court are to hear all
contested applications for licenses
and pass upon the fitness of the
would-be brides and grooms.
Residents of this State who go to
other States and contract marriages
in violation of the provisions of this
law will find their marriages Illegal
if they return to this state to reside.

WANT THEIR $34.72 QUICK.
Director of Mint Gets Five Hundred
Appeals For Per Capita Cash.

The treasury department gave out a
news item a short time ago that tucked
away in the vaults of the treasury
there was $34.72 for every man, WON.
an and child in the United States, the
per capita of the reserve fund.
Director of the Mint Roberts as a re-
suit has received 800 letters from all
parts of the country, in which the writ
ers demanded that they be sent their
$34.72 forthwith. One man, writing
from the distant west, asked that his be
Ient in dollar bills and pennies.

Same Complaint In Few Months.
A young woman who described her
self as Jennie Reich, nineteen years old,
of Brooklyn. was found in a dazed con-
dition in New York city recently.
At the hospital where she was taken
1t was said she had been treated for
the same complaint on fifteen different
occasions. Her case was diagnosed as
temporary aphasia.
The police say the young woman has

from the same ailment, and has been
in almost every hospital in the city.

New Gas Discovered.

Sir Joseph John Thomson, director
Of the Cavendish laboratories at Cam
bridge, England, announced recently
that he had discovered a new gas. 1t
holds the same relationship to hydro
gen that ozone does to oxygen, which
means that the chemical formula is
H3. He found this curious form Of
hydrogen hidden away in metals, espe-
cially iron, zinc, copper and lead.

TESTIMONY IS
SENSATIONAL
Surprise Sprung on State in
Boo'|egger Trial.
PRINCIPAL WITNESS ACCUSED OF
GIVING FALSE EVIDENCE.
State Witness Given Bad Reputation
BY Testimony of Attorney F. A.
HuttO.

A sensation was sprung on the state
In the cases now on trial for bootleg
ging which will more than likely re-
suit In the freeing of the men already
convicted and in the throwing of the
balance of untried bootlegging cases
out of this term of court.
This morning in court Attorney
Bowen, who is appearing for w. S.
Harris, rang complete surprise on the
state, when he placed Attorney F. A.
Hutto on the stand and brought out
the following testimony against Nc
Conv1lle, the states principal witness
Hutto testified that McConville had
been indicted in the federal court in
Oklahoma sometime ago on five counts
for selling liquor to Indians. He tes-
titled that the only reason McConville
was not convicted was that, by raising
technical question, that the Indians
were only half-bloods, and therefore
did not come under federal jurisdic-
tion. The United States attorney
John F. Stone, was afraid to proceed
for that reason, for fear of getting
an adverse ruling which would handi-
cap him in other cases.
Mr.. Hutto in reply to questions put
to him by Mr.. Bowen related the con-
versation with McConville in which
the latter had stated that the cases
were trumped up against the men ,on
trial In many of the cases. McCon-
vile, while state witness, further
left this city bound for Ogden, giving
HuttO the impression that he was 60
ing to leave to avoid testimony, going
to Contact last Friday night with Hut
to, who supposed him to be leaving
for good. McConville, however, then
turned up yesterday to give testimony.
Statements made by McConville re-
garding his manufactured evidence
were put on record and will be pro-
duced. Judge Stockslager will order
the arrest of McConville for perjury.

SCRAPf
AT DEVILS CREEK
John Gray, Sheepnlan, Killed
Man Yesterday.
SHERIFF SUMMONED TO SCENE OF
SHOOTING THIS MORNING.
Gray TelephOned to Officers of Shoot.
Ing and Awaited Arrival to Give
Himself Up.

CONSERVATION was apparent in this
city among the many friends of John
Gray, a prominent sheepman of Three
Creek, over the story of killing near
Devils Creek on the Nevada line. in
which Gray is alleged to have done
the shooting. Late last night Drs. Alex
ander and Mccarthy were telephoned
to come to Devils creek to aid man
shot by John Gray. They Immediately
set out for the place sixty miles dis
tant, but were met at Rogerson with
the news that the victim was dead.
Later Sheriff Vanausdeln was noti-
fled by telephone that Gray was await
ing for him and was ready to give
himself up. The sheriff and Coroner
Crosby left early this morning for the
scene Of the tragedy.
Outside of the above report little
can be learned Of the matter, the ru-
NOR giving the victims name as
Scott, another well-known rancher of
the Three Creek section. Gray is
known to be an inoffensive man and
rather popular with many of the old
timers here who are loath to believe
him guilty of cold-blooded killing.

CHAMPIONSHIP BALL GAME.
Boise VS.. Twin Falls-TO Settle State
Championship.

Next Friday afternoon occurs the
most important baseball game of the
year. Boise high school invades Twin
Falls to settle with the local high
school for state honors, and when
these teams cross bats, 1t will be some
game. Boise has defeated all the
teams In western Idaho and therefore
has the western championship. They
have practically the same team that
won the state championship last year
Last week they defeated the cham
pions of Utah, and the Boise papers
are now claiming them champions OF
Idaho and Utah. But that Is little
previous, for Twin Falls Is to be rec
oned with before the Idaho champion
ship is settled. Twin Falls has the
best team in her history. The mem
bers of the team have played together
for three years and are fortunate In
having pitching staff this year that
will rank with any in the state. Then
too. the Twin Falls boys have the ad-
vantage of playing on their home
grounds. and II they receive the prop
er support, they promise to settle an
old score with Boise. The manner In
which the local boys disposed oi
American Falls last Saturday, indi-
Gates the kind of ball they are capable
of playing.
The game Is to be played next Fri.
day afternoon, May 16, at 3 p. M, al
the Twin Falls ball park. The ex.
pense Of bringing the team from Boise
is considerable and it Is hoped a large
crowd will turn out to back Twir
Falls and help beat Boise.
