OPPOSITION HTS UP ON THE ALASKA RAILROAD BILL
HOW JURIES ARE
 DRAWN IN ALASKA


 The more or less loose conversation that has been indulged in concerning the work of the late grand jury has led some to think that the system for the selection of jurors in Alaska Is of a sort that permits of juggling, and that people interested in litigation have had influence in the selection of grand and petit juries in the First Di- vision. The fact of the matter is the reform method, the method that those who are trying to eliminate the favor itlsm that prevails in some of the States are attempting to have adopted, is in full operation in Alaska.
 In this Territory jury list contain ing more than 300 names of electors is prepared by the jury commissioner and the clerk of the court-two off clals who must be of different politi- cal faiths. These names are put on separate pieses of paper, and from them the United States marshal draws the names of those to serve on the jury.
 In Juneau, before the beginning of the present term of court, this list of more thar 300 names was prepared by
 E. w. Petit, jury commissioner, and Jay W. Bell, clerk of the court. The names on the list were selected from the poll books of the voting precincts of Southeastern Alaska that lie north of the north entrance to wrangell Mar rows.
 Pursuant to notice. advertisement of which was made, United States Mar shal H. L. Faulkner, publicly drew ten juries from this list. Judge H. H. Folsom, assistant United States dis trict attorney, was present at the as were many others.
 Some of the jurors were excused by the court upon their own request and pursuant to showing duly made. To fill vacancies in the panel of the grand jury thus created five grand jurors were secured by the United States marshaps office on an open yenire. They were H. H. Williams, a well known pioneer mining man of Juneau; George Miller. retired hotel man, well known throughout Southeastern Alaska and heavy property owner in the city; George Frank Forest, of the Juneau Iron Works, former Mayor of Juneau and one of the best known citi- zens of the city; Harry J. Raymond, head of the H. J. Raymond company, several times city councilman, a pio- neer and leading business man, and z. NJ. Bradford, of the Sanitary Gro cery company, one of the best known and best liked young men of the city.
 The names drawn to serve as jurors were less than one-sixth of those who were on the jury list. and they were drawn in such way that no one knew whose names were coming out. From the original list was excluded the names of those who had served on district court jury within year, and the jury commissioner and clerk are to, and probably did, exclude names of people that they did not have good reason to believe were still with in the jurisdiction of the court. Af- ter excluding those who are exempt by law and including only those whom the clerk of the court ahd jury com missioner have reason to believe are in the Territory and susceptible of be- ing served by process, the list includ- ed a large percentage of the remain ing qualified voters.
