JURY LIST WILL GET YOU !. F YOUDON'T WATCH OUT
Two Bills Become Laws June 9 And Upset All Previous Methods Of Jury
 Selection; Expense And Delay.

Methods of jury drawing will be radically rcvised-in fact, practically reversed - beginning June 9, when senate bills S9 and %, passed at the last session of the legislature, become laws, the referendum period having passed.
 Expense and delay are incurred by those changes, according to a local legal authority, who has examined the measures and has given to the Jour ral-Miner the first account of tho working of these weird laws to Dc published by any newspaper in Ari- Zcna.
 Senate bill % changes the manner O. selecting the material out of the body polite, from which juries arc drawn. Senate bill S9 shifts around the exemptions and brings in new idea, which will be developed later in tEis article
 At the present time, the jury panel is drawn by the Superior judge, the chairman of the board of supervisors and the sheriff, and numbers 200 names. This annual jury drawing takes place after the first January meeting of the supervisors.
 Under the new law, the same off cials draw 500 names, which become tkc actual and only jury material for the year. At present, a judge IS en- ahled to shoot out an order and have tl:c sheriff bring in men who can nh out deficient panels. At each jury session of court, SO arc summoned. Sometimes not more than 30 of these car be brought into service. Of the thirty. some will be deaf, some blind, some legally exempt, and of course, the attorneys will always ind other things the matter with the men, so thc chances are strong for decimat-  ed vcnire. The new law works beneficial change in this regard, how ever. it specifies session panels to be or 75 instead of so names.
 But there will be no more special yonireS.
 If. after a case is started in court, and the jury selection IS in progress, it is found there are TO enough men qralificd to act, his honor cannot send out and have bunch of men pulled in from the streets, the stores, the offices. No. He must issue a call uron the body of 800 men, originally drawn. From these men, who may b2 scattered to inc four winds of heaven. he must secure his additional talcsrnen.

 w. A. Drake, of the Santa Fe. an nounced that if permission could be secured from the Crystal Ice Com pany to use the waste water from its plant in North Prescott. the Santa Fe would donate some land it has nearby, that may prove available for growing such crops as potatoes and beans.
 City Clerk Frank C. Whisman said that there was no hope for reduced rates on water from the city for a year, He announced for the first time publicly that a deal had been made for the Majors Ranch on Groom creek, a property carrying year. round stream of water to be added to the city's gravity supply. A dam and other equipment will have 10 be erected in order to make this water available, but when it is available, Prescott will have an all-ycar gravity water supply.
 The use of city lots for gardens Is discouraged on account of the high cost of water Tracts in Miller val ley, such as the 15 acres offered by Allen, may be useful, however.
 H. W. Wcstcr said that ii the scouts could find a suitable tract of land, they would camp on it for their Sum- mcr vacation and try to coax large supply Of beans and other cdibles out of the ground.

 About Exemptions.
 The law (Revised Statutes of 1913, Title 20. Chapter ?, paragraph 3,51S) says as follows:
 'Thc following persons shall be ex- empt from jury service when they claim such exemptions: l. All per sons over 60 years of age. 2 All civil officers of the State and the United States. 5 All ministers of the gospel, engaged in the active discharge oi their ministerial duties. 4 All physi- cians. dentists and attorneys, engaged m active practice. ;. All editors of newspapers, school teachers, drug gusts, telegraph operators, railroad station agents. conductors and engi- nccrs of railroad companies, express agents and express messengers who may be actually engaged in their re- spectivc duties. 6. In cities and towns having a population of l,500 inhabi- tants or more. according to the last preceding United States census, the active members of organized fire companies, not to exceed O."
 Here IS what the amendment does. 1. Overturns the common law as to exemptions. 2 Provides that in order tC claim this exemption, the person falling in the classiications of para graph 3,51S must file with the clerk oi the board of supervisors a sworn statement of his name. age, occupa- ton. together with his reasons for desiring to be exempted.
 Failing to file such notice, no man. not even the judge of the Superior court, can be exempt from jury ser vice, if his name falls within the 500 drawn by lot from the great register.
 The jury commissioner system was abolished by a law introduced by Representative Lines in the Second legislature. The reason for this aboli- ton was that in communities divided between Mormons and gentiles. it had been found impossible to get any gem tiles on the jurics The abuse of his power then, caused the abolition Of all jury commissioners for what might have been the fault of few.
 The amendment of the jury draw irg laws was sought by the best brains of the State The amendments were {. said 10 have been eminently practicable, just and square. But, like Johnny after his haircut, the dads of thC bills did not know them, after the legislature got through applying in expert hands to them in committee.

SUBJECT OF LECTURE BY DIR. WILSON TO SECOND DIVISION RED CROSS; SEPARATION INTO TWO UNITS IS EFFECTED.
(From Saturdays DajIy.)

 Despite the inclemcncy of the weather a large representation of the Second Division, Rcd Cross Auxiliary was in attendance yesterday afternoon and enjoyed an instructive lecture by Dr. \. D. Wilson. For half an hour the physician talked on the cause and irst aid relief for fainting, shock, fits and convulsions. The afflictions, in degree are similar, as they arc nearly always accompanied by unconsciouSncss, yet Dr. Wilson in a concise, lucid manner described them separately and drew a nice distinction as to their cause and remedies. He closed with a few words regarding heat prostration and sunstrokcs.
 As matter of reciprocity foi courtcsics and favors extended the Second Division it was decided by unanimous vote 10 donate to the Mercy hospital the Mayo sponges and dressings made at the previous meet ing.
 In order to facilitate its work the division was separated into two sec tions. Both units will attend all the lectures but when making supplies will work alternately.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, Mar. z, 1917.
With last years labor experience
fresh in the mind of the Connecticut
valley tobacco grower he will be very
loath to increase in any way the
tobacco acreage for 1917 and, as a
matter of fact, there will be slight
reduction because of the impossibility
of getting satisfactory help at wage
anywhere near the average level of re-
cent years. Market conditions are such
that full cigar leaf acreage might be
expected Big prices were paid last
year and the stocks of tobacco in hands
of dealers have been greatly reduced.
Hundreds of growers, however, have
made up their minds that they will
raise only as much tobacco as they can
take care of with their own family and
what help they are sure of. Wages
were so high in many cases last year
that the slight increase in the price of
tobacco received in no way Offset the
increased cost Of production. Fertiliz-
ers are slightly higher this year than
last and labor in all probability will be
even higher. Growers are coming to a
realization that it is better to raise just
enough tobacco to pay themselves a
good profit rather than so much that
the price received will be gobbled up
by labor charges.

NEW YORK, March 10. 1917

NEW YORK, March 10, 1917.
The notification by the u. S. Su-
preme Court of the five per cent re-
bate clause enacted in the Underwood
tariff law came as great disappoint-
ment to those leaf importers who had
cherished as sure refund under the
phrasing of the statute as passed by
Congress. This refund would have
amouted to millions of dollars and no
doubt the benefciaries would have well
coined such windfall with extraordi-
nary grace. But it may be surmised
that the trade would welcome more
than such windfall any arrangement
whereby it could be supplied normally
with last years Sumatra crop. Such a
chance, however, is still far away in
nebulous speculation. In the mean
while, efforts are being made, as cur
rently reported, on the part of some
importers to get in the desired wrap
per leaf directly from the Island but
succeed nobody can foretell. One thing,
however, is sure, that there will be a
tremendous famine in wrapper leaf if
relief doesn't come in some shape be-
fore the Fall season sets in. For with
the rapidly increasing output of cigars,
increasing at an unprecedented rate,
the question of the supply of all grades,
types and kinds of cigar leaf becomes
more pressing from week to week.
Nobody seems to care any longer for
the price. It's quality that is being
crave1 for now. Many leaf houses are
almost depleted of one or the other
type of leaf and contracts are already
offered for crops which are expected to
be raised during the coming summer. :

WISCONSIN TOBACCO MARKET.

EDGERToN, WIS, March 16, 1917.
The old adage, Everything comes to
those who watt" is again verified, for
the casing weather that the tobacco
growers have patiently waited so long
for came early in the week following a
couple days of thaw and rains and
which brought the hanging leaf
into fair condition for cleaning out the
curing sheds of the balance of the crop.
The farmers lost no opportunity for re-
suming the work of preparing the to-
bacco for delivery so that in the south
ern sections especially the crop will be
off their hands and marketed before
spring work starts on the farms. The
dealers can now be assured that deliv-
cries will be plentiful enough TO keep
their warehouse forces steadily en-
ployed until the end of the packing
season.
Hardly half the crop has been re-
ceived to date and the dumping of the
balance on the packers in the next few
weeks will relieve them of large sum
running into millions of dollars, for the
entire crop is practically under con-
tract.
There is an active demand every
where for old leaf of all descriptions
and the question of price is not as i'm
portant factor as to find the goods.
The avenues for shipments of goods
out of storage have not yet opened up
wide enough to permit them to reach
eastern factory points.

In the face of what is probably the

some of the smaller factories have been
obliged to shut down, while many 9TH

the outcome of this shortage will be is
