JUDGE JACOBS USES
JUSTICE TAFT'S METHOD
TO EXPEDITE JURY

While the district federal court this
year has had before it nearly as many
criminal cases as it had during the
session last year, the criminal term is
nearly at an end, it was announced
on Monday by Judge Fed c. Jacobs,
who is presiding. This has not been
brought about entirely by the pleas of
guilty entered by many of the defend
ants, but rather by new method of
handling the juries impaneled in
criminal cases, cutting the time for
the selection of juries from two to
eight or ten hours down to between
10 and 20 minutes.
About a year and half ago, Judge
Jacobs said in explaining the new
method, the senior judges Of the
United States curcuit courts met in
conference in Washington with Chief
Justice Taft, as is required under an
act Of congress, and it was then re-
commended that for the purpose of
expedition, the trial Of criminal cases
and to halt the delay in the selection
of Jurors, the district judge examine
the jurors as 3 whole as to their
qualifications This is what hereto
fore required 50 much time.
Acting upon this recommendation
Judge Jacobs has taken the examina-
tions of jurors into his own hands and,
instead of thus taking at least half
day, it is accomplished in from 10 to
20 minutes That the system works
successfully is demonstrated in the
fact that both the counsel for the
government and for the defense jim the
cases already heard have seem
cd we'll satisfied. After the court has
examined the jurors, he gives counsel
for both sides ample opportunity to
intelrogate the prospective jurors on
matters Of material interest to them,
/ Showing that the examination is not
arbitrary This procedure eXpcdites
/ the trial of cases and enables the
court, in petty cases. to dispatch its
/ business with little difficulty.
The present session of the district
/ federal court started with a rather
heavy criminal calendar, but under the
new ruling, the term will be completed
in about half the time occupied in the
trial of these cases last year. In COM
parison with the method of handling
iuries, under the new manner with
/ that of the state courts, Judge Jacobs
cited the Shepherd case in Chicago,
where three weeks were occupied IN
selecting jury of II men, each one
being interrogated at great length by
both state and defense counsel, each
one covering practically the same
ground.

PHOENIX OFFICERS
RESTORED TO DUTY

The Phoenix civil service commits
sion has started to function. A cap
tain Of night police and fireman
were brought up for alleged drunken
ness on duty. In the formers case,
two policemen swore the defendant
had been seen by them intoxicated,
while driving a city car, during his
tour of duty Ten witnesses for the
defense testified they had seen the
captain during the evening and that
he was sober. The evidence in the case
Of the fireman showed about the same
proportion of witnesses, for and
against. The commission unan NOUS
ly decided for the defense in both
cases and restored the men to duty
without deduction of pay. The two
witnesses against the captain prompt

A Garden City paper sent by the

gives the first details received here Of
the tragic death of Leupp's school
boys. The following viii be of in
terest to this community:
oscar Begay, a Navajo Indian boy,
employed in the beet fields here, was
eleetrocized Sunday shortly before
noon when he climbed one of the steel
poles of the United Power q Light
I corporation. The boy climbed the pole
1 to obtain a birds nest, which he saw
/ near the top of>the pole, and came in
contact with one of the conductors.
With his body against the wire and
/ one of his legs touching the steel pole,
! a ground through his body was I frmed
and he was killed instantly. His right
leg was burned where it came in con
tact with the wire. Practically evefy
shred of clothing was burned from his
body.
"The accident was witnessed BY
about 80 Indian boys, who belong to
the labor camp at Frizell station The
boys are here working in the beet
fields. They had gone rabbit hunting,
and the Begay boy saw The birds nest
as the crowd Of boys hurried along, IN
high spirits over the rabbit hunt. The
NEST was in the third pole from the
corner at the point where the line
turns north to go into Frizell station.
The boys in the party were too fright
ened to do anything and did not report
the accident, but merely looked on.
Nearly two hours later, shortly after
one o'clock, Warren Charles came
along and reported the accident. The
United Power & Light corporation
was called and asked to shut off the
power, until the body could be re-
moved and this was done.
i s'The boy was student at the
Leupp Indian school, near Winslow,
Ariz., and came here about two weeks
ago with rs other Indian boys to work
in the beet fields here this summer,
The boy was IA years old. The line

Union Laws Upheld;
Court Won't Step In

ST. Louis, Mo-, July 2l.-ln case
involving the right of trade union to
discipline its members, Circuit Judge
Miller upheld the long line of court de.
cisions that the defendant must have
recourse to the various laws OF the
union to which he pledged allegiance.
The case was F. d. Hall against the
international Association of Bridge,
Structural and Ornamental Iron Work
ers. Hall was suspended after the ex-
ecutive board found him guilty OF
making false statements against IN
ternational officers. He asked the
court to enjoin enforcement of the
sentence, but Judge Miller refused be-
cause Hall had failed to take adVan-
tage of the unions laws, which provide
for appeal.
THE plaintiff should follow up his
own remedies within the order TO
which he belongs by proper appeal to
the executive council and, II neces-
sary, by further appeal from the lat
ter body to the next convention OF the
international" said Judge Miller. Ills
obligations arising from his member
ship in the order require him to do
this, and the court ought not to inter
fere by injunction either to abrogate
the contractural rights and obligations
of the members of the union in this
regard, or to substitute its own dis
cipline for that to which all members
of the order have voluntarily sub
jected themselves for their mutual
henefit and to avoid possible disrup-
ton of their own organization.
