CALLED TO SITUATION
Only Enough Of the Yearly Appro.
priation Remains for Payment of
Juries This Month.

The efforts of the justices of the SUI
preme Court of the District of Columbia
to clear the law and criminal dOckets
have proved an exhaustive strain on the
appropriation for the pay Of jurors. AS a
result it may be necessary to suspend
trials in the Circuit Courts June 1, in
order to allow the running of both Grim
inal Courts throughout the month or
June without exceeding the appropria-
ton.
The matter was called to the attention
of the court today.
The total allowed this year for the pay
of jurors was curtailed in the last ap-
preparation bill to $4,000. a decrease Of
$1,000 over former amounts allowed for
this purpose.
The deficiency bill carried an allow
ance Of $4,000 for this fund. which
made total of $4,000 to be expended
for the pay OF jurors to June 80.
Payments to May l.
Up to May / United States Marshal
Palmer had paid out to jurors $46.353.
leaving only $1O.647 remaining in the
appropriation.
AS the daily payments to jurors serv-
ing in the courts amount to 1918 it
may be seen that the balance of the
appropriation will provide for only
twenty-eight such payments during the
two months Of May and June.
The average service per month during
this term of the court has been about
twenty days. This would make possible
the running OF all the courts for only
eight DAYS in June IL the two law courts
are discontinued the appropriation would

being drawn by President Wilson's ad-
visers.
Secretary Bryan's Attitude.
The position of Secretary OF State Bryan
on the currency question is being seri-
ously considered by the members Of the
House concerned with the legislation. 1t
is understood that the bill as now con-
tempIated will not provide for guarantee
of bank deposits. for which Mr. Bryan
has always contended.

asset currency" on reliable commercial
paper through restricted number of

allow the issue of notes by these banks
under the supervision Of the officers Of
the regional association" who would
represent the banks in the district and
the government. In the control Of the is
suing banks the government representa-
tives would preponderate.
House Members Anxious.
Members of the House are considering
what Mr.. Bryans views on this PROPOSE

contended for a strict government issue"
of currency, and they are anxious to
learn whether he considers the govern
