Jurors Munich Chocolates.

Gathered round a huge box of
chocolates brought by one OF their
number. the Jurors. most of them club
women, deliberated the case OF Mrs.
Goldie Dresses. wife OF a Columbus
(ohio) restaurant keeper. who was
charged with forsaking her husband
for another.
And loud and vociferous were the
protests OF the Jurors when the court
overruled their ,verdict-State laws do
not permit a jury OF women in more
than an advisory capacity-and hand
ed down a different finding OF his
own.
Evidence in the case showed that
Mrs. Drossos. twenty-three, came to
Cleveland with a former soldier
whom she met at Columbus barracks.
The woman brought her three small
children. The couple were tried joint
ly. Mrs. Drossos testified her hus-
band had mistreated and neglected
her, and that on one OCCASION she had
been obliged to sell the children's
toys TO buy them shoes The soldier,
she said, had provided a good home
for herself and the littlo ones, and
she had taught them to call him
Daddy"
Incensed With Court.
Then followed other witnesses and
brief arguments to the ladies of the
jury" after which they retired to de-
liberate. returning half an hour with
this verdict:
"we are forced to find both guilty.
but recommend that the woman be
given her freedom for the sake OF her
children. We recommend the extreme
penalty for, the man"
That's all very WELL" asserted
Judge Sawicki," but / myself think
both merit the same punishment and
I'll sentence them both to the work
house for three months and fine them
500 each. That is unless Mrs. Drossos
decides to go back to her husband"

Harper Gets p. s. c. Post.

Former State Senator J. Frank
Harper, Of Centrevine, was appointed
and sworn in by Governor Harrington
as a member of the Public Service
Commission, to fill the vacancy caused
by the resignation of Albert G. Tow
ers, who left on August / to become
president of the Title Guarantee and
Trust Company. This completes the
commission. which will begin the hear
ing of the United Railways fare case
with full board present. 1t also lifts
q load of the mind OF Governor Har-
rington, who has been searching as
siduously for successor to Mr.. Tow
ers ever since L. Laird Henry, Of Cam
bridge. his first choice, declined the
honor which the Governor had offered
him. 1t was understood some days ago
that the Governor had Senator Harper
in mind for the vacancy, but when he
was asked about it he denied that he
was considering Senator Harper.
The appointment of Senator Harper,
who is one OF the leading Democrats
on the Eastern Shore, makes the board
entirely Democratic for the first time
since 1912, when Commissioner E
Clay Timanus was appointed by Gov
ernor GoIdsborough to succeed Benia-
min T. Fendall, who later became,
and still is the secretary of the com
mission. he having been appointed by
Governor Crothers to fill the vacancy
on the commission caused by the first
resignation of Philip D. Laird. There
have been but two Republican mem
bers Of the commission, Mr.. Timanus
