NO WOMEN AT

Jury Commission Decides
Mere Men Must Finish
the Year as Jurors. .
WOMEN NEXT MARCH

People in Kenosha county who have
litigation to come before the municipal
court and the circuit court at the com
ing October terms Of these courts must
be satisfied to submit their claims to
iuries OF mere men. The county jury
commission met this morning to draw
Jurors and while the service Of women
as Jurors was discussed by the COM
mission, no women we're placed in the
panel drawn from either Of the courts
and not a single name Of woman was
placed in the jury box.
eve are going to wait until after the
November elections" said one of the
members of the commission, "and after
the new poll lists are made up the
people can be assured that the ladies
will not be overlooked. It is going to
be easy to fill up the box containing
the names Of the jurors and we prob
ably will divide the number between
the men and women in the same pro-
portion that the vote is cast at the
elections"
Women to Serve in March.
This will mean that the women of
the county will get their first chance
to serve as jurors at the March term
of the circuit court and at the April
term of the municipal court. The jury
commission is composed of Col. W. w.
Strong Of Kenosha, G. f. Williams Of
Bristol and Thomas Fleming of Salem,
and the members of the commission
gave the assurance that they had no
prejudices against the women serving
as jurors in the various cases to be
called for trial. The list of the jurors
will be drawn for the spring terms Of
the court sometime in February, but
before that time the members of the
commission will meet and draw large
list of names to be placed in the jury
box for future panels. AS the list is
now nearly exhausted, the new list
should contain very large number Of
women.
