COURT RAPS TALESMAN
SEEKING JURY ESCAPE
"Ought to Be in Trenches on Ger
man Side," Justice Mccoy Scatch-
ingly Declares.

81 wouldn't have you on the jury
anyway. You ought to be back in
Bavaria and in the trenches on the
German side, where you would get
what is coming to them" veheznently
replied Chief Justice Mccoy today. to
q naturalized German who sought to
evade jury service in Criminal Divi-
sion 2. The man was excused.
To ward off excuses Chief Justice
Mccoy reminded the talesmen that
mere business Inconvenience would
not he accepted as an excuse.
"The answer to mere inconvenience,
said the chief justice, lis the casualty
list, which you read every day in
the papers. Those men are giving
their lives, and will you talk of in
convenience"
Despite the warning several. bust
ness men asked to be excused, but
the requests were denied.
Justice Mccoy let it be known to tales
men that before any one would be ex-
cused from jury service the court would
have to be convinced that the excuse
was important. The fact that he is
working on the housing commission and
in the sale of war bonds and saving
stamps was held by Justice Mccoy as
q good excuse for William F. Guide not
being compelled to serve. Mr.. Guide eX-
planned that in his opinion he was do
| ing better work for the government than
serving on 4 jury, and the court agreed
with him.
The other justices were equally posi-
tive in holding qualified talesmen to jury
work.

TW0-PLAT00N SYSTEM
C0NFEREES ARE NAMED
Fire Department Of District Vital
ly Concerned in Change in APP
preparation Bill.

Conferees on the two-platoon sys-
tenn for the fire department of the Dis
trict were named by the Senate today.
This conference was made necessary
by the fact that the appropriation bill
carried funds for instituting the two
platoon system on the superstition that
the legislation would be promptly en-
acted. In the meanwhile. the Senate
committee had amended the two-pla-
toon system bill passed by the House
in a way which was unsatisfactory to
the trainers of the measure. The Sen
ate amendment changed the House
draft from being obligatory upon the
District Commissioners to make it a
matter of discretion with them wheth-
er the two-platoon system should be
employed.
or more serious concern to the
House committee and to the members
of the fire fighting force of the Dis
trict is the fact that the Senate in
altering the bill has so worded it that
the authors believe it would exclude
from sick leave and other privileges
the new men brought into the service.
The House conferees contend that the
legislation should provide equal priv
ileges for all the men performing the
same kind of service in the depart
ment.

feet that quartermaster officers Of the
rank Of captain, first lieutenant or
second lieutenant, qualified for active
service. should submit their applica-
lions by August Is. Hundreds Of ap-
plioatiens were received, but in many
