MIXED JURY SPENDING
night in CLOSED ROOM
PRESENTSN.J.PR PROBLEM

TRENTON, March 11.-Interest-
ing and serious discussion of the
problem of handling mixed juries has
arisen here since a local jury of five
women and seven men were kept out
all night, twenty hours in all, before
they were allowed to report a dis
agreement. A storm of protest
against all mixed juries has arisen,
many husbands declaring the prac-
tice IAN outrage" The husband OF
one of the local jurymen, it is un-
derstood, had to dress the children,
get breakfast, and send the young
sters off to school, because, his wife
was still in the jury room when the
morning whistles blew.
The Trenton case comes Just after
a. similar one in st. Paul, Minn.,'
which has aroused comment all over
the country.
Although stories of the five women
on the Trenton jury differ, it is GER
tain that all five stayed out with the
men during the entire twenty hours,
although Common Pleas Judge Mar
shall came to the court room about
$3.50 p. NJ, on the day of the trial
and asked if the women wanted TO
be separated from the men for the
night.

BRIDGE HERE MAY OPEN
ON MONDAY FOR LIGHT
TRAFFIC; BAD SHAPE

piles were rotten clear through.
This will necessitate driving no
less than one hundred new piles,
according to the contractor Wick
berg said he considered the sup
ports unsafe at present, even for a
light car, and in replacing the rot
ten piles he had to drive the new
ones before taking out the old be-
cause he feared the collapse of the
entire structure.
The portion of the bridge on the
South Amboy side of the drawbridge
is finished and work is now concen-
trated on two places about $50 feet
from the Perth Amboy end. Strin-
gers and piles have been found so
badly decayed that two thirty-foot
sections have been entirely remov-
ed. The opening on Monday de-
pends upon the temporary work TO
be done today at these points. Wick
berg said he intended to drive his
own car over the temporary spans
late this afternoon.
Discovery of such a great number
of rotten supports, together with
the bad weather. has held up the re-
pair Job to a considerable extent but
the contractor was confident this
morning of his ability to have the
bridge partially open on Monday,
The operation of trolleys will also
resume. it is expected.

The application TOR a writ OF GER

the appointment by the aldermen OF
William M. Hallahan as clerk OF
the police department, was granted
by Supreme Court Justice James j.

shortly before noon to-day, accord

request of counselor Thomas Brown
who was not able to be present at

Of sleep during the twenty hours the

such unusual conditions. That wo-
men should not be subjected to such
trying ordeals is the opinion of many
here. 1t seems apparent that the wo-

The case which caused all the
trouble was the trial of Raphae.

presents new problems to be solved.
