ing a portion of the month of June
as a result of the order of Justice

This condition of affairs was dis
covered today. when a Star reporter

from which the maintenance of con-
fined juries is payable. The appropria
tion for this purpose is also liable for
the payment of the salaries of the six

For the fiscal year ending June 80.
1916, Congress provided $4,000 for this
fund, and out of il the criers and bai-
lifts have received their salaries for
ten months. and the balance left in the
fund. it is feared, will not sustain the
