No Workillsn1er
On Any Grand Jury,
Swami Declares
List Is Changed Only by
Death, He Says: Should
Be More Representative;
Mayor Promises Action

District Attorney Swami, who has
charged that the extraordinary grand
jury which is seeking to oust him
from the Interborough strike con-
spiracy investigation, had on it no rep
resentative of labor, yesterday applied
that criticism to the entire New York
County Grand Jury list of 1893 citf-
zens. All grand juries are selected
from this list
81 contend" said the DAtrict At
torney, that the grand jury list, which
is continued by the Grand Jury Board
from gear to year, with only members
who die being replaced and others
holding their places Indefinitely y, should
be more representative or the various
interests of the community.
"The grand jury list is composed of
very conservative gentlemen. The
average man on that list is retired
citizen or some person who has slowed
down in his business activities. There
should be more active and alert men
on the list.
Labor is not represented at all on
the present list. Under the system
only one man in ten on the list is
Grand ury Board could set aside
the entire list and make such changes
as it saw fit when the annual changes
are made each November.'
District Attorney Swami reiterated
that he had no quarrel with the extra
ordinary grand jury which reconvene:
again to-day. What that body will dc

Untermyer a Candidate
I'm 1916, but No Resident

Both Republicans and Democrats
were greatly interested yesterday over
the announcement that Irwin Inter
myer, Democratic candidate for justice
of the Supreme Court, could not have
run for any office in New York City
in the fall Of 1916 because Of the fact
that on October 1, 1916, he was a legal
resident of Warren County.
There is no legal disability against
him this year, however, as. according
to the records Of the Department of
Taxes and Assessments, he became a
legal resident of New York County
prior to October /, 1918.
According to the legal record, it
would appear that Mr.. Untermyer is a
comparative newcomer, although he has
practised law here more than decade.
The anti-Tammany organizations arc
likely to give wide publicity to the
record in the Department of Taxes.
which makes Mr.. Untermyer a resi-
dent of Warren County on October l
1916, at which time he swore off his
personal taxes on the ground Of non
residence.
He was not assessed for personal
taxes in 1918, but for 1919 he was
assessed in the sum of $4,000 and
swore that amount off on the grounc
that his legal debts exceeded his tax
able assets.
This year Mr.. Untcrmyer is assessed
in the sum of $4,000 for 1920, but al
the tax office yesterday it was sale
that he had not made an accounting
on this years assessment.

Indorsed OH Ground That
Services Are Satisfactory
Old Case Against Luce
His Refusal to Explain
Charges Kills His Chance:
Untermyer Is Too Young

The Judiciary committee of the AS
sociation of tho Bar, in formal re-
port made last night, indorses Jus
tice Newburger and Philip j. McCook.
fusion candidates for justice of the
Supreme Court, and withholds indorse-
ment of Irwin 'Untermyer and Justice
Robert l.. Luce, the Democratic can
dldates. Justice Luce, who is now
on the bench, was appointed this year
by Governor Smith to fill q vacancy.
In addition to Justice Newburger
and Major McCook, the report of the
judiciary committee recommends in
dorsement of Richard II. Smith, Thomas
I. O'Reilly, Joseph NJ. Callahan, Louis
Wendell, jr., Henry K. Davis and Will
lam II. Chorosh as candidates for JUS
tlces of the city court.
James A. Foley. Democratic candi-
date for Surrogate; James O'Malley,
Republican candidate, and Charles f..
Manierre, Prohibition candidate for the
same Office, are also indorsed. The
resolutions also recommend constitu-
tional amendment No A, which would
increase the compensation of the
Judges of the Court of Appeals.
On a Non-partisan Basis
The report states that the committee
recommends the reelection of Justice
Newburger upon a non-partisan basis,
ION the ground that his long judicial
service has been cminently satisfactory
and characterized by exceptional indus
try" and that his case came within the
purvew of the association in its en-
deavor to promote the denomination
and reelection Of tried, efficient, i'm :
partial, courteous and incorruptible
judges.
The report states that Justice New
burger was rcnominated by the Repub-
lican but not by the Democratic party,
and says:
Your committee regrets that the
principle of the denomination of a
competent, Industrious and sstisfac-
tory judge upon non-partisan basis
should have been disregarded by the
Democratic party. This principle is
sound and of vital Importance to the
administration Of justice. Its observ-
ancc has tended to promote the indie
pendence and impartality Of our ju-
dicial officers, and the confidence on
their part that denomination would be
dependent upon their judicial services
rather than upon nsderation of po-
litical exDcdiency or patronage"
The Case of Justice Luce
Coming to Justice Luce, the commit
tee says the nomination of Justic,
Luce should not be approved and statei
tNa1 wren the justice was a candi date

judicial office This reservation by
your committee was in its judgment
compelled by charges made by mem
ber of this association based upon al
legged acts of Mr.. Luce in 1903 while
acting as counsel for the New York
Central & Hudson River Railroad and
representing it in that capacity before
the Board of Aldermen of this city.
your committee has carefully re
examined the charges made and which
are now repeated 1t has again sought
from Mr. Justice Luce as it did in 1913
and 1916, a satisfactory explanation of
the transactions in question, but al
though fully advised and requested to
explain. he has again declined TO do
more than to deny that he had in any
way violated the law while acting as
counsel for the railroad company in
1903.
''ln the judgment of your committee
the circumstances call for justification,
and, in the absence of any satisfactory
explanation by him, your committee is
again compelled TO recommend that,
Notwithstanding his other qualifications,
or lndorSed by the assoc iation"
Concerning the candidacy of Mr. I'm
termyer, the report says:
He was admitted to the bar in Oc-
tober, 1910, and in 1912 became a mem
Der of the well known firm of Guggen-
heimer, Untermyer & Marshall, in the
professional activities Of which he has
largely participated, principally in
Office work and the preparations of
briefs. He has argued important cases,
but has had limited experience in the
trial of cases.
His brief work shows ability and
sch olarship, his personal reputation is
excellent, and his standing is high
among the members Of the bar who
have met him. Your committee, how
ever. is unable 10 certify that in its
judgment his professional experience
has IS yet shown him to be qualined
for so Important It judicial Office as
that OF justice Of the Supreme Court
and it therefore recommends that his
candidacy be not approved or Endorsed
By the association"
