Upper West Side Traffic
the Editor Of The Tribune

10 tNe fdltor Of The Tribune
Sir: Daniel L. Turner. consulting
engineer Of the Transit Comnission
has recommended that the streetca =
lines be ripped out Of Second. Lex;np-
ton. Seventh and Ninth avenues. which
thoroughfares should be given over to
Vehlcular traffic. and that The surface
car lines be rcrouted for th. corv.n.
l-ncc Of the public.
II is to be hoped that early and f.
vorsbe action will be taken on t,is
suggestion. which is Of particular i'm
portance to residents Of the West Side
above Fifty-ninth Street. A few doing
business in Columbus Avenue (Ninth
AYcnue) arc protesting, and so arc a
Jew OF those living in or owning prom
crty on Central Park West. But tho
welfare of tho majority should b.
served
1t has already been provided that
the streetcar tracks in Central Park
west may be rclaid, the easterlv
tracks being taken to the west side of
the avenue. With twelve feet cut from
the sidewalk-which is altogether too
wide at the present time-and with =

Women Jurors Bill
Passage Urged by Chairman Of the
l--caguc of Women Voters

10 the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: In The Tribune Of February y
i. was reported that citizen of New
YORK City wrote to Judge Francis <.
Mancuso saying: 81 havo served in
The Federal and county courts FOR tho
last thirtG years, and it is ny opinion
That the calber Of jurymen who arc
willing TO serve is growing steadily
worse
This fact has been noted by many
public spirited people. and it is
prompting thoughtful women to make
carnes. efforts to have women ap
pointed on ;urics. As The Tribune
stated cditoria'lv last May. "cducated
women of leisure seem especially will
ms TO serve on iuries and are valuable
because Of their trained minds and
broad sympathies, ard working women
have also expressed a desire to serve.
even When opposed By their cUploy-
crs"
1t is the testimony Of Judges ar |
court attendants that women jurors
perform their duties conscicntiously.
that they render decisions remarkably
free from bias and that they arc not
swayed by emotion. but weigh the evi-
dence impsrtislly. When Judge
Florence +. Allen. Of Cleveland Ohio.
selected SIX women to serve on tn.
arsnd jury and another woman TO act
as foreman another Judge testified
that il was the best grand jury he had
ever seen

testitieS to their efficency, their strong
sense Of responsibility and their tend
ency to scrutinize the evidence with
palnstaAing care. lie says: There
Is always strong objection to women as
jurors on the part Of evildoers and
all who aid and abet them"
In view Of these facts and the need
Of better jurors it would seem sensible
10Y our citizens TO advocate the pas
sage Of woman juror's bill Senator
Nathan Straus r. has introduced one
in the Legislature that is acceptable to
women, and this should be strongly
backed by public opinion. urge ali
those devoted to the public veal to
study it and to urge their representa-
tive. to support it.
II could easily Be arranged that
women who have young children or
who are incspacitated for anv reason
nesd not serve, and in the case Of a
mixed jury obliged to deliberate
through the night hours re could fol-
low tn. precedent established bv the
supreme Court of Washington. which
has rulnd that "the separation Of men
and women on juries could b. justified
at night b. the rules Of society.
propriety and common deccncy." Thus
/ objections to women as jurors could
be met and We could call into service
individuals from the most law-abidinc
snd law-respectins class in society. TO
the benefit of the courts and Of the
community at large

Thanks to the N. Y.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: AS one OF those who made pub
lie protest against the New York Cen
trails requirement of photographs on
family tickets ! think it only fair TO
express satisfaction at the company 5
sction in resembling the unpopular or
der.
The ticket controversy is of public
interest in that 1t illustrates the ad~
vantage Of submitting frank state
ment instead Of nursing a deep resent
nent. The company could not know
the objections of its patrons unless
they were expressed, but upon evil
dence of concerted action by large
majority the Objectionable require
ment was promptly withdrawn, thus
restoring the era Of good feeling be
tween the road and its patrons.
