LOOK FOR REVIVAL
IN SH|PbU|L DING
At PUSEY ( JONES
Temporary Lull in Boat Depart.
ment, but No Idea Of Closing
Branch.
1900 MEN EMPLOYED
ON PEACE TIME BASIS

mo shutdown of the Puscv & Jones
plant in this city is contemplated, was
the statement of one of the officials of the
Puscy and Jones Company today, as he
added that there may be temporary lull
in the shipyard section of the plant until
contracts for more ships are secured,
A steamer for the Eastern Steamship
Line of Boston is now being outhtted and
will leave the yard in week or ten days.
This, the official said. would mean that
a small number of men would be affected.
He emphasized the fact, however, that
this would be merely temporary, as new
orders are expected in the near future.
Machine shop and foundry work for
nearly year is in store in these depart
mcnts, which are engaged in the making of
paper making machinery and general
machine shop and foundry work. Addition
al work IS also expected in these TWO de-
partments, as bidding is being made right
along on various contracts.
About 800 men arc now employed at
the plant as compared with 1000 to
$500 rs a general average. There is not
expected to be much decrease, if any,
below the 800 mark. The men in the
various dep artments realize the state Of
work IN their various departments and
men in &he shipyard division know that
there are no more vessels on the ways and
that none are IN immediate prospect.
The investment involved in the local
plant. WHICH is practically new, was said
by the official to be too great for the plant
to remain idle.

BRITISH AMBASSADOR
DENIES BR|TTEN CHARGE
Says There's No Truth in Report
of S87 500 Campaign Fund
Contribution.

IT. Louis. Aug. 26.-Slr Auckland
Geddes. British Ambassador TO the United
States, prefaced an address before the
American Bar Association at the Shubert-
jefferson Theatre here yesterday with 3
denial of charges that the British govern
ment was giving hnancisl aid TO the
Democratic national campaign
II would like 10 seize this opportunity
for public denial of reports that funds
are coming from the British Embassy
for use in the campaign of one Of the
Presidential candidates, the Ambassador
said today There is not 3 shadow of
foundation for the report, which shame
fully mlsrepresents and is absolutely un-
true.
The declaration was met with vigorous
applause, in which Charles Evans Hughes,
Republican candidate for President in
1916, joined MIR Hughes sat with the
New York delegation in the rear of the
theatre
Previously the Ambassador bad said the
only fund the British government had
placed at his disposal was one covering
the living expenses of himself ard 80 other
persons connected with the Embassy.
Ambassador Geddes, after referring to
the campaign fund charge told of the bond
of friendship that held his country and
America together ron all common causes
of mankind"
In the course of lengthy sddress, he
traced the rise of family, community,
tribal and national ties, in the theocratic
and autoeratic governments of Asia, and
the democratic ideals long dormant in the
more slowly-developed peoples of the
West

WOMEN MAY NOW
SERVE ON JUR|ES
Right to Vote Brings This Among
Other Duties and Privi-
legcs.

That the right to vote brings new duties
as well as new privileges the women OF
Delaware viii soon learn when they are
called TO serve as Jurors. The ratification
II the suffrage amendment however did
OF give this right TO women of all the
states. In Maryland according to the
opinion OF States Attorney Leach addi-
iional legislation viii bc necessary before
hey can qualify for jury service. The one
obstacle that stands in the way in that
state is the word male in the qualifications
of the juror in the Code of Public General
Laws.
q In this State section 1882 of the Re-
vissed Code qualities the women TO serve
when 1T provides: that all persons quall-
fied to vote at the general election shall
he liable to serve as jurors.
This provision apparently makes them
eligible 10 serve on all the juries. There Is
however one way that they could be kept
off the Grand and Petit juries. The law
provides that the jury commissioners
shall get the names OF ten sober and judi
cious persons who are qualified for jurors
from each district aad that the names OF
the jurors shall be selected from these
numbers. If the names of no women
eligibles were placed In these boxes the
women could be deprived of serving on
either of these juries
A peculiar fact was brought to light
when the qualifications of the jury COM
missioners were investigated This section
only provides that the two commissioners
from each county must be of opposite
political parties and says nothing of the
voting or sex qualifications. This would
have given the women the right to act as
commissioners before the passing OF the
suffrage amendment
