CONTENDS JURORS
NEEDN'T 0WNLAND
Government InvokeS Statute
Enacted During Revolution
in Reaching Decision.

A Maryland colonial statute enacted
during the Revolution was invoked to-
day by the government as an authority
for the proposition that grand jurors
need not be freeholders. The present
grand jury was attacked in a series of
rs pleas in abatement filed by defend
ants counsel in the case of BENJAMIN
r. Buck. and others, indicted for con-
spiracy to violate the bucket shop law of
the District Of Columbia.
The statute which was cited in a
memorandum Of authorities filed with
Justice Peyton Gordon by Leo A. Rover
United States Attorney, and Neil Burkin-
shaw. assistant United States attorney,
provides that mo challenge shall be al
lowed tosany person for the want of a
freehold" II had been commended by
counsel for the defendants In oral argu-
mentS made week ago that the COM
mon law requirement for grand Jurors
being freeholders still prevailed In this
District, and that consequently the pres
ent grand jury was illegally constituted.
Justice Gordon has the question under
consideration.
1.-THE ancient requirement" says the
Governments memorandum, that a
J0AOA AAAuSb NC q 1ICGnOlQeT, Is a
relic of feudalism. It has no part in the
institutions of the United States of
America. 1t is very true that much of
the criminal branch of our common law
has either become obsolete or has been
obliterated by statutory enactment upon
the same subject. Nevertheless, it is
true that where it has not been repealed
by express statutory provision, or modi-
ned by inconsistent legislation, or where
1t has not become obsolete or unsuited
to our republican form of government,
the common law of England in all its
branches, both civil and criminal, re-
mains today the law of the District of
Columbia, and it has been repeatedly
so held"
The memorandum also dealt with
other pleas in abatement attacking the
right OF women to sit on grand iuries
and attacking the provisions of the law
that allows women to serve or refuse to
serve at their option The Governments
memorandum upholds the right of
women to serve on grand jliries as well
as on petit juries. since no such distinc-
tion is made in the law, which declares
That no distinction as to sex shall be
made as qualification for service on
Juries" except that such service shall
De optional for women.

the crowd this morning convinced me
tnat that was the proper course to take
we are seeking change in the legisla-
tlo' which will allow assessment Of the
cars IN December instead of Jarluary
as at present. This will allow the tags
TO go on sale on the first of December.

up necessary legislation to put these
reforms into effect and will call the
matter up for action at an early meet
ing OF the Board of Commissioners.
Il am convinced that the time has
now come when Washington should
serve its tags by mail and not require
its citizens to stand In line for long
hours in order to get them.
Il do not expect that we will ever
achieve that perfection where we can
dispense 100000 or more tags IN

There was no mention of politics either
in the brief address by the retiring

listening to them included, however,
two Republican national committee
men, the chairman of the State COM

ALCOHOL LEAKS
SEEN AS MENACE
Diversion of Industrial Sup
ply Held Prohibitions Most
Difficult Problem.
BY the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
Industrial alcohol leaks are regarded
by President Hoover's Law Enforcement
Commission and congressional dry lead
ers as prohibitions most difficult prob
lem.
Out of the whirl of holiday discus
sion and controversy among the drys
this fact has been agreed upon by all
factions. The Law Enforcement Com
mission has set itself to inquiring into
the situation, but the preliminary re-
port of the commission to Congress will
not touch upon it.
Described by Senator Borah of Idaho
as scandal" the administration of
the permit system whereby industrial
alcohol is distributed to business is due
for a thorough investigation and al
ready rumors of grave disclosures in
this inquiry have been heard.
Jones Urges Full Probe.
Senator Jones of Washington, adj
mlnistration spokesman for the drys,
said in a statement last night after
several conferences with members of the
Law Enforcement Commission:
"All seems to view the industrial al
cohol situation as the most difficult
one to solve properly, as we'll as one
OF the most important phases of prohi-
bition enforcement. In working this
out the commission should shield no in
dividual and no line of business"
Senator Capper of Kansas, another
Republican dry leader, also has called
for thorough investigation of the in
dustrial alcohol system and there Is
every indication that President Hoover
shares in the view that this problem
is one demanding an overhauling.
Administration of the industrial al
cohol permits comes under the Treasury
Department and more particularly I'M
der Assistant Secretary Lowman and
Prohibition Director Doran. In his
reorganization of the prohibition en-
forcement machinery, Mr.. Hoover has
proposed to continue this phase of pro-
hibition in the Treasury.
Assurance was given by Senator Jones
that the Law Enforcement Commission
would complete its study OF prohibition
before July /, and that the commission
has agreed unanimously not to pass
judgment upon the wisdom or I'M
wisdom" Of the eighteenth amendment
itself.
Delay Held Unwarranted.
Prohibition enforcement" said SEN
ator Jones, lis of vital and immediate
concern to the people. 1t was stated
on the floor of the Senate short time
ago that a member of the commission
has intimated it would take three or
four years to work this out. I could
not believe it. In my judgment the
President would not tolerate such de-
lay on so pressing and important a mat
ter, nor did 1t seem to me to be war
ranted at all.
II have conferred with several mem
berS of the commission. Some think
that the prohibition phase of their work

kind of car it was"

nently associated with nearly every
major crime investigation in Detroit
during the past two years Included
in his exploits was the investigation
carried on into the activities Of the
Purple gang, an organization which
was prominent in the cleaners and
dyers' war of two years ago as well
as rum-running, hi-jacking and similar
activities.

OF conspiracy to violate the Federal pro-
hibition law, and seeking presidential
clemency for them, was being circu-
lated here today.

dlspensaries, gambling places and dis
oroerly houses had been protected by
the license system, which assessed some
business places as much as $25 a
month. The prosecution conceded, how
ever, that no one personally profiteu
by the system, fees of which were used
