Believed by Many They Can Do Better
Than Male Juries in Clearing up
Matters of Importance.
PLEA FOR GRAND JURY OF
BOTH MEN AND WOMEN MADE
Prominent Suffragists Are Leaders of
Movement and Say Women Best
Understand Some Things.
[uN1rEp pnEss 1nAsrp wIRr.l

Denver, Feb. 1S.-A grand jury with
women on it is the demand that has
grown here out of the disputes and
difficulties which surrounded the work
Of the last grand pury in this city.
The women of Denver have decided
that they can clear up matters much
more quickly than the men have been
able to clear them.
Only the fact that a state statute de
'ars women from jury service prevents
the women from waiting upon District
Attorney Rush to demand the right Of
service. To remove that law the wo-
men have started a movement to in.
troduce bill of repeal in the next
legislature or, failing there to initiate
such measure.
Leaders in the movement declare
that, with few intelligent, keenly
thinking women on the grand jury,
more especial attention would be paid
to matters affecting the home and well
fare of children. The vice question:
the gambling and liquor ordinances,
the enforcement of the eight hour law
for women and the pure food laws
would come in for particular attention
and consideration, they say
The plea is not for a jury composed
entirely of women but one wherein
women and men would be equally rep.
resented.
Mrs. Harriet G. R. Wright and Mrs.
Lucy Harrington, prominent suffra.
gists, are leaders in the movement.
"It is the contention of all people
who believe in equal suffrage, in the
first place, that women should have a
place with jurors" said Mrs. Wright.
1T is simply matter of justice
"We women do not crave jury duty;
for that matter, it is difficult to find
a man who isn't anxious to get out
Of such service. But we do believe
that jury service is a responsibility
that should be shared equally by both
sexes. A grand jury is actually in
need of women more than the ordinary
jury because it so frequently investi.
gates matters of vital interest to the
home and the child,
Mrs Joel Shackelford, in speaking
of the question today said;
''I am not one of those who believe
in the miraculous power of women to
cure all ills that human beings are heir
to. Possibly grand jury composed
entirely Of women would prove no more
efficient or effective than a jury com.
posed entirely of men. But any jury
would be more efficient if men and
women worked ON it together for each
could profit by the others differences
in experience and knowledge. "

TRYING TO SAVE MINERS
DESPERATE EFFORTS ARE BEING
MADE TO RESCUE TWO HELD
PRISONERS IN SHAFT.
[UNITED PRESS LEASED WIRE. ]


Seattle, Wash, Feb. 1S.-Advices
reached here yesterday afternoon of
desperate efforts being made at Frank
lin, Wash, a mining town 35 miles
south of Seattle, by miners to reach
two Of their companions who are held
prisoners in the Cannon coal mine,
where an explosion and cave-in oc.
CURED Monday morning. Both men
are believed to be still alive. The im-
prisoned men are Robert Churchill an,l
Andrew Churchill, brothers.
A chute has been driven part way
under ground in an effort to reach
the imprisoned miners and their fate
may be learned before nightfall.
The explosion, which ripped open one
Of the water chutes and poured tons
of gravel and water into the mine, oc.
CURED shortly after the shift began
work. Sixty men were at work in the
shaft at the time. All but the two
Churchills escaped.
Five minutes prior to the disaster,
a heavy pressure, which extinguished
the mems lights, was felt. Boulders
and rocks swept down the incline and
blocked the passageways,
Roy Carson, a young miner, guided
large number of his comrades to
fety.
Superintendent Williams, of the Pa.
cific Coast Coal company, is supervis.
ing the rescue. An effort is being
made to check the flow of water by
diking it with bags Of dirt.

These fences also help to regulate the

so that sheep and cattle can be kept
off in the arly spring until the young
grass and other forage plants have
had a chance to get start. In some
cases, too, they restrict grazing to GER

some grazing grounds or to secure a

What is Drift Fence.
The drift fences are not enclosures
but generally extend for long distances
across the country, much like the
"drift fences" or snow fences along
railroad rights of way. The railroad
fences, however, take their name from
the fact that serve to pile the wind
blown snow to the windward side Of
the track, so it will not settle in the
cuts and impede traffic. The drift
fences for stock keep the animals from
going in certain directions, or "drift-
ing" to use the cattleman s express
sion, or restrict them to specified areas
for the winter and to others for the
summer. They may also prevent stock
from grazing upon areas where pois-
Onous plants are found; thus they less.

losses.
Examples of the use Of drift fences
are furnished in several built on the
Dixie forest Of Utah, where stock graz

fences were built by the government
