1T puts into legal form a prin-

The point of ethics involved
and mentioned by Senator Allen
is that reporters have always
preserved the secrecy Of sources
from which they receive informa-
ton. It is regarded as one of
the cardinal rules of the news
paper profession and is. widely
recognized by those with whom
newspapernen come in contact.
Public officials and all others
have always felt that they could
talk to a newspaperman under
the seal of secrecy and that their
confidence would never be
broken" said Senator Allen. This
is one, Of the most valuable at
tributes of a good newspaper re-
porter and is one Of the things
which leads him to a great many
important stories.
eff this faith of persons who
have news that the reporter will
protect them to the utmost Is
destroyed, it may work serious
harm, not only on the reporter
ind his paper, but as well upon
the general public, for much that
newspaperman learns in this
way is of vital Importance to the
welfare Of the nation as a whole" /"

Mixed jURIES
HARD To SWAY,
SAYS HART

It is entirely possible to ger
an all-woman jury to agree, as
was proved recently in the
District Supreme Court. but to
get a jury of women and men
to reach a verdict is a different
matter, according to Assistant
United States Attorney David A
Hart, who is in charge Of liquor
prosecutions in Police Court.
In his nine years as prose
cutor, Hart has found that more
iuries have been hung since
women started serving, he said
today. The men, he says, viii
usually agree on something, but
the gentler sex, sometimes refuse
absolutely to listen to reason.
Hart hurries to add that there
are some notable exceptions to
this rule, but he cited case
in point which he tried few
days ago.
Fred Martinez and Maxwell
Mitchell, colored. were being
tried for illegal possession of
liquor. Martinez will be re-
membered as the man who, m
an effort to escape, dove head.

car Of a surprised attache Of
the Cuban legation.
The jury stood nine to three
for conviction, some of the
women sitting on the case re-
fused to alter their plea. They
told the judge afterward that
they thought both of the men
were really guilty. but they did
not like to see the little colored
boy go to jail"
On this account the case will
be tried over again. Some of
the men on the jury were quite
annoyed at the situation, and
said so.
