CITY'S JURY LIST
TO BE REVISED
Must Have Not Less Than One Nor
More Than Two Names for Every
SO Persons According to Last Cen
sus Women's Names May Be


Added
One of the matters which will prob
ably come before the August meeting
of the city council will be the revision
of the jury lists of the city cf Au-
gusta in accordance with the act pass
ed by the last Legislature providing
that the number OF names necessary
for town to keep in the jury box
shall, be not less than one nor more
than two for every 80 persons accord
ing to the last census. This means
that Augusta with a population of
about 14.114 must have not less than
oS3 names in the jury box. Previous
~ the towns were required to keep
not less than enc nor more than two
names for every 100 persons according
to the last census.
The board Of municipal officers, as
provided by law. constitute a board
for preparing the list of jurors. The
list when prepared must be approved
by the common council. which has the
power TO strike out names as they
deem proper, but cannot insert names.
il is possible that a number o. wom-
ems names may be added to tie jury
lists, it being provided by Chapter
$50 of the Laws of 1921 that no person
shall be disqualI lifted to serve as juror
by reason of sex.

RA|LSARE UNDER
SEVERE PRESSURE
News of Day Discourages In
veStors-Industrials Slump.
Steel Sold Off.
BY STUART p. WEST.

NEW YORK, March 10.-Heavy
selling of the railway list was the
main incident in the stock market
ficiently apparent, first, in the very
sad showing in the January traffic
statements, and second, in the doubt
whether plans to reduce wages could
be put into effect without the formal
sanction of the labor board or with
out serious strike troubles.
Some of the selling of the railway
shares represented real liquidation
for home and foreign account, but
great deal of IL came from operators
for the decline. who were simply
counting upon the absence of effec-
tive support to render their short
contracts profitable. In speculative
circles the bluest possible views were
taken of the outlook for railway is
sues, but this was to be expected The
street always misjudges a situation
of this sort because it never can look
ahead
Undoubtedly the railway results
will be quite as bad for February as
they were for January, and 1t Is
doubtful If March will be much better.
But this simply means that the trans
portation industry is bearing its prop
er part in the general depression, and
If industrial companies which piled
up big surplus profits in years past
have seen fit to dip into surplus to
maintain dividends, railroad companies
are justified in doing the same.
Earnings Are Poor.
If. moreover, industrial stocks have
shown that they finally can strike
level where the heaviest earnings de-
ficits are discounted. railroad stocks
will eventually do the same. and il
was a matter of some significance in
this connection that the greater num-
Der of representative railway shares
today went well below their low
prices for the year, with some OF them
not faraway from the panic level of
last December.
however. the thing that counted
more Immediately was that specu-
Iative selling met with little opposi-
ton and brought about severe de-
cIines, not only in some of the old
line dividend paying rails. but in nom
dividend paying issues as well.
The extreme weakness in this quar-
ter entailed naturally a considerable
