Women Jurors Are

Minneapolis, Mimi, Nov. 5-Wo-
men jurors where they have been

erior to men in dispensing justice,
A. E. Kellington, deputy clerk of the
Hennepin county district court, re-
ported on his return from investiga-
ting records of women jurors for
Hennepin county district judges.
His chief investigation was at
Cleveland, where women jurors have
been acting for several months. As
a result of his Investigations women
will take large part in jury work in
Hennepin county during. 192z.
Among other things Nj. Belling-
ton found that:
Handsome men do not affect wo-
men jurors judgment as much as
pretty women do men jurors.
Women jurors are not so preju-
diced against corporations as are
men.
Women members of juries almost
always agree with each other, but
are frequently satisfactory in every
kind of case than men, Mr.. KEELING
ton said.

of interpretations
ny Asaociated Presa.A

Washington, Nov. 5.-Another diff
ference on the question of medical
beer developed today between the in
ternal revenue bureau and the prohi-
bition unit.
The treasury's now regulations COW
ering the use of beer for medical
purposes, placed no limit upon the
number of prescriptions for this
remedy physician may write. How
ever, according to Prohibition Com
missioner Haynes, the prescriptions
rules which have been in force for
some time limit a doctor to one
hundred alcoholic prescriptions every
three months, are still in effect, and
despite the beer regulations that
maximum will be maintained.
On the other hand internal reve-
nue. officials declared tonight that the
opinion of former Attorney General
Palmer, legalizing the use of beer as
a medicine, had overruled the presc-
ription regulations, as it held that
the treasury might limit the qualti-
ty or the frequency of alcoholic med
icines but not both. The question
from the standpoint of the regula-
tions will be definitely settled soon,
it was said.

Use Sea Planes
to Spot Herring
Try Associated PreSs.l

Washington, Nov. 5.-Seaplanes
are being used as a last measure in
an attempt to find missing fish off
the east coast of England, the de
partment of commerce is advised in
a report from Trade Commissioner
Butler at London.
Absence of the usual shoals Of
herring in the North Sea, the report
said, has caused much alarm in fish
ing towns along the coast, and many
and diverse measures are being en-
ployed to find the fish which fur
nish the population of the towns
livelihood.
Two reasons have been advanced
for the disappearance of the herring,
the report notes. One is that explo-
sions in the mine fields in those wa
tiers destroyed much of the spawn
and the other that the abnormally
warm weather of last winter and the
past summer had kept the herring
close to the bottom of the sea.

over the soldier bonus was in full
swing tonight in the senate with so
many senators desiring to speak that
there was doubt final vote could be

wealth defies the government, that
it will not pay it's taxes, but the
official head of this government has
laid it down as a proposition-and
l am going to bring it before the
country-that we cannot make wealth
pay and that we might as well ac-
cept that proposition; tht we have
got to establish a system of taxation
that will make he people pay that

is the declaration and it comes i'm

his place for making that sort of
declaration"
Senator Watson took sharp issue
with Senator LaFollette's interpre-
tation of Mr.. MELONS testimony be-
fore the senate finance committee
when the tax bill was being drafted.
Watson To Defense
"The secretary" declared Senator
Watson, "did not say, and the Sec
retary did not mean, and l do not
think that any possible construction
placed upon his testimony in fairness
can lead him to say that he was in
favor of the evasion of taxation by

for his amendment proposing that
