CoNsTABLE's ACTION S URPRIsE - B

Registered and unregistered NO men to the number or 24 were sum moned yesteraay morning by Con stable Charles Thomas for jury duty in the court of Justice High. They tailed to be empaneled for the reason that Attorney Flanigan threw both hands in the air when he heard about it and withdrew the action of hss client, the plaintiff, paying all costs accrued. Thereby everybody concern ed was saved both money and time a victory for women as jurors being won from this viewpoint without the firing of a single shot, as it were. Ii undoubtedly means the calling oi more women for jury duty.
 There was another winning grown from the proceeding, TOT the reason that of the 24 women summoned there were seven of the 15 who made ap- pearance who were not registered. They had their names enrolled on the register before they left the office oI the justice, for they were there, and why not? The matter was mentioned. incidentally, of course, and the sug- gestion made that there would later be, in all likelihood, court house To- cation to vote on. Which was all that was necessary. for the Warren district women are loyal to it and they want that court house locatod here. 1t is becoming fixed in then minds, too, that in order to get the court house they will need to use the votes which the state has given them right to, and they cannot use these votes unless registered before mi l. aight of the last day of this month of April
 All women are now entitled to vote. in consequence they are full tiedged citizens and no more exempt rom jury duty than is any man in the dis trict. Simply because a man is not registered afiprds no excuse from jury duty. Whether registered or no he is a citizen and subject to summons Co jury duty, provided he is eligible to registration. All that applies to the man in this matter applies with equal force to the woman. So Constable Thomas yesterday morning gathered in women regardless of whether reg isteTed or not, and this will be the rule in the future, with the probaoil- ity that the unregistered will be more sought between now and midnight Of April 30 than those registered, for once they are brought tc the place or registration in the office of the jus tice it is next to certain that they will register. Those who were summoned yesterday morning for jury duty were the following: Mrs. Jack McGregor, Mrs. Frank E. Bennett, Ms. Ben Dick son. Mfs. I..-4a RAssaaie, Mrs. L. Stanfield. Mrs. w H. Cooper, Mrs. c. c. Nesbit. Mrs. w. H. Cooper. Mrs. Charles Malcolm, Mrs. Stella Ora ham Mrs. Bert Polly, Mrs. J. B. Will Hams. Mrs. Nj. Midland, Mrs. Martha Greeley. Mrs. Wm. Fitting, Mrs. J. B. Fletcher. Mrs. L. H. Moon, Mrs. A. E. Hurst. Mrs. C. F.. Philbrook, Mrs. Gus Haigler. Mrs. Frank Ruff, Mrs. J. H. Dye. Mrs. c. W. Allen, Mrs. C. k. Hatcher. Mrs. May Gillette and Mrs. A. Grim.
 These ladies each and all enjoy par ticuIar distinction, for their names go down in the records of the county and state as those of the first to be summoned in Arizona to fulfill duty created by the new franchise law under which the full rights of citizen ship come 10 them. Of the number served, the returns in court in person were about the same as usually at- attain in service upon men. Excuses of illness applied in the cases of those who failed to appear.
 Most of these were made over the telephone to Judge High. That gen tleman was so much occupied with answering the phone during the morn
