JUDGE BARTLETT WOULD
STOP JURY
Favors Elective Judiciary and Limiting of Appeals, but
Opposes Many Other Changes Proposed
by Coworkers on the Bench.

ALBANY. June 3.-Chief Judge Will
lard Bartlett OF the Court OF Appeals
before the judiciary committee OF the
constitutional convention to-day opposed
almost all of the changes In the judi
ciary article which have been proposed
stree the convention started, but agreed
with Chairman George W. Wickersham
that all the jury exemptions should be
abolished and the question OF excusing
men from jury duty left 20 the discre-
ton OF the court.
Judge Bartlett TOOK a stand for an
elective judiciary. which is contrary to
the views expressed last week before tile
committee by Justice Ingraham Of he
Appellate Division.
one important suggestion offered by
Judge Bartlett was that appeals to the
Court OF Appeals be limited to those in
which the lower court was not unani-
nous. those IN which there are reversals
and those appealed by leave Of the Court
OF Appeals or the Appellate Division.
lie said the court was we years be-
hind in It's work on all civil cases, but
said that IL there should he established
a ermanen court OF ten Judges n the
limit put on appeals. the calendars
would soon be cleared and the work

HlRmes the Prosecutors.
The Judge said Il Is \ grave inJus.
tice" to attribute tho delays In criminal
cases to the Court OF Appeals.
The delay In criminal cases Is due to
the indulgence which public prosecutors
sh,ux. IN npttnaaf fnN the 1efpnCa' de-
clared judge Bartlett. They are re-
luctant TO refuse appeals for delay. es-
pcclally In capital cases"
The Chief Judge explained that the
Court of Appeals gave criminal cases a
preference over all others. setting them
down FOR argument az soon As the Dis
trict Attorney in charge moved them.
Proposals which have been submitted
to provide for any change In the present
system Of requiring m agreement OF the
entire Jury on q civil verdict were OPP
posed By Judge Bartlett. such a change
would he a "monstrous evil" he said.
He also announced himself as against
the plan to permit defendants In civil
cases to waive the rights OF trial by

Machinery for the manufacture OF

Works is arriving and being Installed
and work Will be commenced within the
next few days. AT least 1,0O0.men will

ed that the number OF employees will

the British and French governments, Is
for l,250.oo0 shrapnel shells. and $780,
600 metal cartridge cases, which are to

fast az they can be manufactured II
is generally believed that this order
will be followed by others, particularly
from the Russian government, whose
armies have also suffered, II is said
from n shortage OF war munitions. Rus
ala has established $4,000. 900 credit In
New York, and France has a credit of

Scores Of men yesterday applied at
the Richmond branch of the Locomotive
Works for employment. and their ap-
plications were placed on file. While
there Will be small army Of experts
employed, there will also be need for
much unskilled labor, SO that between

When the trustees referred the mat
ter TO Superintendent Wright for his

without authority to maintain these
schools since they were chiefly for

specific objection to the night schools
was that they were educating people
who had passed the legal school age.
