FIGHTS TAMPERING
WITH GRAND Jury.
John Warren, of the Hudson
County Bar, Attacks Com
mission Bill.

JERSEY CITY, n. j.. March a.
son County bar. reflects the views
of the progressive lawyers of the
State who are neither in awe of the
judges or Governors in expressing
their opinions regarding jury COM
mission bill. Mr. Warren is strongly
against any tampering with the
grand jury to remove it from the
people. In an interview with Star
representative he said:
At the present time IT seems to be a
habit Of number of people to consider
anything that is wrong, and in the name
of reform seek to destroy FATHER than
improve and build up; such, to my
tation at Trenton for the passage OF the
jury commission bill. In the first place..
the passage Of this bill is urged by q
small eoterie of individuals in a couple OF
the counties of this State, some of whom
have never practised before jury and
know nothing of its function. The bill
contempates Statewide change IN the
method of drawing juries, while there Is
no Statewide demand for such change.
1t eontemplates the appointment by the
Governor of jury commissioners in each
county of the State, removable at his
pleasure, without the assignment OF
would give to the Governor an immense
political power, so that any Governor
who desired TO run for the United states
Senatorship after his term as Governor
expired would be able to build up pow
erful political machine.
Furthermore, If one Governor would ap-
point good jury commissioners, and upon
his retirement and the election of new
Governor. If the new Governor should de-
sire to build up an organization, he could
remove the good commissioners at his
pleasure aud put in men who would DO
his bidding. And with whom would the
Governor consult as to who should be
appointed as jury commissioners? Would
it not be the polticianS I'm each county?
If we have had bad petit iuries the
fault is not that of the sheriff alone, for
the reason that the judge controls the
situation. The judge and the lawyers
have control of the drawing of the struck
juries aud the judge can strike off the
name of any man returned by the sheriff
ON the petit jury panel aud can add to
1t the name of any man he desires. The
result of which is that II the Judge so
desired he could substitute for the panel
returned by the sheriff his own list of
jurors. If there is any objection to be
made at the present time to the struck
aud petit juries. how can the people who
desire to have the petit and struck juries
drawn by jury commissioners appointed
by the Governor defend their attitude
when. at the present time, the judges

NEAR-S|DE TROLLEY
STOP ABOLISHED
Board of Works Revokes Act
Forcing Passengers to Wade
Through Mud.

Tried and found wanting, the near
side" trolley stop was abolished by
the Board of Works yesterday after
noon. 1t Will, however, be several
days before the new order of having
the cars stop opposite the crosswalll
on the far-side of the street goes into
effect. This is To enable the Public
Service to accustom itself to the
change.
The amendment to the present
regulations, which was passed on
third and final reading read ito take
effect Immediately" but the commits
sioners will give the Public Service
ample opportunity 10 bring about the
change, which effects nearly the en-
tire trolley system. Hereafter it will
be unnecessary to wade through
mud, sometimes ankle deep, to board
a trolley. Commissioner Charles p.
Glllen is responsible for the change.
The resolution providing for the
extension of Branford place from
Halsey street to Springfield avenue
was also passed upon third and final
reading, and the work OF assessing
the property will he begun at once.
Where property cannot be purchased
condemnation proceedings will be i'm
mediately instituted.

discharges which are contemplated
will bring this amount up to almost
$4,000 which in itself IS record
of which any board might well feel
proud.
Conditions as they We're found to
exist at the Eighth street stables by
Commissioner Kraemer are as fol-
lows;
There are at present fifteen horses
and sixteen vehicles at the stable,
which is manned by twenty three
men. divided as follows: one stable
boss. ten cleaners, who are paid to
look after the horses and vehicles.
and twelve drivers and helpers. The
latter, according to the report, look
after and clean their own horses and
the commissioners are now puzzled
as to the real work performed by the
ten so-called cleaners.
The stable costs the city $40, 1876
annually. OF this amount $t0,049.52
is paid i'm salaries to drivers and
helpers. Then there is an additional
appropriation of $6361.S4 for feed and
incidentals.
All the commissioners expressed
surprise at the conditions as they
were shown to exist and instructed
that detailed report be made. The
working force will be materially re-
duced at next weeks meeting.
Seven employees We're dismissed,
three suspended under charges and
the way paved for the discharge of a
number of others. All of the charges
affected the wafer department Next
week the Eighth street stables, where
fifteen horses are being cared for by
twenty-three men, will be taken up.
All of the changes We're recommended
by Commissioner Kraemer, chairman
of the water committee.
Those discharged were: Joseph
Wood, assessed rate inspector, $1,00S;
r. Baldwin, jr, assessed ledger clerk,
81, 400; Is. Deahmer, NJ. DeLucea, C

order of things and get something which
is not even guaranteed to be equal.
Municipal government should be a sys-
tenn of balances and checks, and II Judges
and prosecutors are appointed by the
Governor the juries should be drawn by
a man selected by the voters, although |
do not think that any man should be In
absolute control Of the drawing of iuries
for three years In any case. sheriff
may draw men whom he thinks are
proper men to do jury duty after a most
careful examination of their records ~
may be, however, that jurors are tempted
at certain times, and if approached Mt a
time of great need they may succumb 10
temptation and fail to do their duty. We
see this every day with men in business
life, but such condition of affairs should
never exist if the lawyers who are sworn
to uphold the law would keep their oaths.
| have three recommendations to make
in reference to jury reform, and they are
as follows:
Enact a law in reference to The selec-
tion of the jurors by the sheriff which
would make the drawing of the grand,
petit and struck juries matter of lot.
Pay the jurors S. day If this were
done we would be able to get men such
as foremen and boss mechanics who can
not now afford, to spend two weeks on
jury duty and get therefor s. a day.
They need the difference between the 81
and whatever their wages are TO support
their families.
In this way | think that You would get
the best iuries possible. Appointed jury
commissioners do not give entire salts
faction as anyone reading the papers for
the last week in reference TO certain New
York iiries and the criticisms of the
same by the judges would learn, and the
recommendations which | propose, II
adopted, would safeguard the dra wing OF
the iuries in the first instance and would
make a sheriff understand that he either
had TO draw good juries or lose his posi-
ton.
The system proposed In the bill before
the Legislature would be step in the
wrong direction a reaction as against the
present progressive trend of things. We
have been striving for the last two and
one-half years to bring the government
away, as this bill proposes. Let us bring

appointed by the Governor have power
to see that good juries are drawn?
II is significant thing that every
prosecutor in the State is in favor of the
present jury bill. 1t might be well to
style the bill bill to make sure the
conviction of the political opponents OF
the Governor. If this bill passed We
would have the Judges appointed by the
Governor, the prosecutors appointed by
the Governor and the juries drawn by
Governor and who, no doubt. would be
subjected to his influence. Prosecutors

convictions they obtain. and 1t can be
readily understood why they are so de-
srous of having the present bill pass.

MEN GOT HALF PAY, BUT
BOOKS DIDN'T SHOW IT

Experts of Price. Warehouse & Co,
in going over the accounts of the
Shade Tree Commission in the general
audit of the books of the various city
departments, discovered that men en-
titled to only half pay on account Of
sickness were carried at full pay.
1t was also shown. however that
this was done in order to pay men
who had worked for the commission
and whose salaries the Civil Service
Commission refused to certify to. The
sick men received their half pay and
the other men were paid with the
balance.
