The Woman Jury.
By DIR. FRANK CRANE.

In some parts of the country they are
trying the experiment of woman jury.
This is a new departure which has
everything in it's favor.
First, by nature a woman has a more
judicial mind than man. The common
idea that woman is a creature of feel
ing, that she is led away by her emo
tons. is entirely erroneous. 1t is the man
who lacks the calm, rational view.
How is it with you at home? Is it not
the wife that is the brake? Isn't she the
cautious one? When the husband comes
home with some wild scheme it is she
that says: You'd better wait a while,
John. Let's think it over"
A mans mind runs too much to gen.
eral principles: the woman sees the sin
gle instance; and that is the essence of
justice. To the juryman the law is the
thing; to the jurywoman the person ac-
cused is the vital matter.
And it is exactly this that makes
good jury. The very purpose of the jury
is to estimate properly the human, nom
legal, but essential facts In the case. II
law was all there was to 1t we should
not need juries; the judge would be
enough.
Another good point made is that women
have more time for public duty than men.
There is no sense in taking the wage
Garner away from his work when his
wife could attend to the matter equally
as well.
We should have no fear to trust our
most sacred rights to the hands of wom-
en-. They already have in their control
our deepest concerns our honor, our hap
pineSs.
Particularly in criminal cases a jury
of mothers would come much nearer met
ing out equity than do the average male
jurymen.
Even i'm civil cases it would certainly
help matters for lawyers to be compelled
to make their cases clear to the femaie
and professional mind.
Besides these items II should be remem-
oered that women are born conservatives.

PROGRESSIVES DISTINCT PARTY
Wish to Be Treated as Such in
House of Representatives

Majority Leader Underwood stands
ready to recognize the progressives in
the House as members of a separate
and distinct party from the republicans.
If they demand such recognition Some
of the progressives have indicated that
they want to be treated as the repre-
sentatives of a distinct party With
that end in view, they will confer with
Mr.. Underwood. and advise him that as
a matter of fair treatment they should
be given a certain proportion of COM
mittee places without regard to
Minority Leader Mann. Representative
Victor Murdoch of Kansas proba bly will
be made the House leader of the pro-
gressives.

DENIES SANTO DOMINGO STORY
American Agent Declares Archbish-
on Nouel Is Still President.

Gen. Mcintyre, chief of the bureau Of
insular affairs, has received a telegram
from Mr.. PuIiam, the American fiscal
agent in Santo Domingo. saying that there
is no truth in the report that Archbishop
Nouel had resigned the presidency of the
republic.
The only basis for the story. he said.
was that President Nouel had gone TO
Barahone health resort on the southern
coast of the island. to recuperate from
a recent indisposition. Mr.. Pulliam said
that there had been an increase OF $93.

vention. Law. after all, is matter OF
custom. The interests of property, of So
ciety and of law itself would be quite
as safe in the custody of twelve women
as in the keeping of twelve men.
And, come to think of it. what right
have women to escape the burden of citi
zenship? We have a deal of talk about
womans rights. What about her civil
duties?
The wives and daughters of the well To

are the best and most capable citizens OF
the state. They have education, morals
and sense. BY all means put them In the
jury box.
Women teach our children in the schools.

trying our criminals in court.

TERRoRs OF THE ARCTIC
Bitter Suffering Experienced by Ger
man Expedition.

Tromsoe, Norway. June 11.-Stor-
les Of terrible sufferings are told by
the survivors of the German Arctic
expedition. The friction among the
members of the expedition, which ex-
listed from the time they set out,
continues among the survivors.
After the separation and disap-
pearance of Drs. Dettmers, Mossers
and others who had been delayed by
the attack of frost bit from which
DR.. Ruediger suffered, the latter and
Rave stayed in the hut while the
others tried to reach Advent Bay to
get medical help. Ruediger and
Rave remained in the hut for seven
weeks without any news OF aid com
ing to them. Their rations dwindf
ed until they had but one meal a
day of widowed oats and solt meat.
They then determined to try to
reach the ship.
Ruediger's foot froZe and crumbl-
ed apart piecemeal. Rave made a
mechanical boot of scraps of leather
and cloth which enabled Ruediger
just to totter along, but his frozen
fingers gave him agonizing pain.
Eating only fragments of decayed
food and with only sleeping bag
to protect them from the cold, the
two men dragged on through the
darkness until they reached Poleh.
jem in a starving condition. There
they found a few mouldy biscuits
from which they made soup and rest
ed for three days. They ultimately
reached the ship, Rave dragging
Ruediger in.
While on the way to the ship Rave
amputated the forepart of his COM
panion's foot and one OF his fingers.
Meanwhile Capt FISCHER and par
ty, who had left Ruediger and Rave
in the hut, met furious billiards.
and were delayed for many weeks
until three OF them decided to return
TO the ship. Capt. Ritscher and a
dog struggled on, subsisting for a
week on a handful of barley daily.
After this they were without food
until they reached Thordesen.
Subsequently in continuing the
journey to Advent Bay they fell
through the ice and Capt Ritscher's
feet were frozen. Nevertheless he
kept on, and finally reached Advent
Bay in a famished condition. Capt.
FISCHER was delirious and crawled on
his hands and knees, which were GOV
cred with ice and snow. The resi-
dents thought he and the dog we're
polar bears. Two of the other three
who started for the ship came
through awful weather. The third
disappeared.

]. T. Harmer, president of the
Springfield street railway company,
stated yesterday that the passing of
the trolly bill spelled great business
future for Western Massachusetts as
far ~ he could estimate its influence.
Not only the hill towns will benefit by
the proposed transportation facilities,
but the three important centers of the
region in which the trolly lines will
be built Springfield, Pittsfield and
Worcester, will profit by the great
business development that the open
ing up of these regions to traffic must
bring about. The amalgamation OF
the trolly lines of Western Massachu-
sets will not only facilitate the oper-
alton of the roads as far as the man
agement of the lines is concerned,
but will also give better service and
an easy communication between cit
les and towns that will greatly encour
age more rapid development of rural
districts as traffic expends.
