While withdrawal OF japanese troops

Jury EXEMPTIONS
REDUCTION ADVISED
Legislation Would Improve
Quality of TaIesmen,
Graham Holds.

Legislation removing the large num-
Der of persons exempted from jury
service rather than placing on the Jury
Commission the duty of passing on the
qualifications of prospective jurors be-
fore placing their names in the box
would do much to improve the quality
of jurors" declared Edward c. Graham,
chairman Of the Jury Commission,
when interviewed by The Star today.
Mr.. Graham said these limitations on
the commission and the leniency of
the courts in excusing prominent per-
sons summoned for jury duty tended to
keep down the quality OF our juries.
Should Reduce Excuses.
There seems to be- he continued
mo reason why a person having d
Government 3 or District contract
should not be- required to serve on
cases where neither of these govern
ments is involved. There should also
be fewer men excused for business and
personal reasons The qualification OF
the juror is the function Of the court.
however, and not of the Jury Comis-
sion. Questionnaires to prospective
jurors when not required to be under
oath might be of little aid to the COM
mission"
The other members OF the Jury Com
mission are Horace @. Smithy, real
estate operator. and Mrs. Lillian S.
Pritchard, widow of the former justice
Of the District Supreme Court.
There is no provision Of law for the
examination of prospective jurors by
the jury Commission before their
names are placed in the jury box and
1t is not until the talesmen appear In
court that their qualifications can be
determined. The large number of Gov
eminent and District employees exempt
ed from jury service as well as all
physicians, lawyers, ministers. persons
In charge OF hospitals or employed on
vessels on the Potomac make very
limited the number from which the
commission may select talesmen. Per-
sons over the age of IS and under the
age OF Fl years are also exempt and
add to the limitation placed on the
commission.
Jury Drawing Explained.
Mrs. Ruth Boucher, secretary TO the
commission, today explained the man
ner of filling the jury box She said
that the names Of supposedly eligible
jurors are obtained from the city direc-
tory, the telephone book, a list Of the
members in the Board of Trade, Cham
Der of Commerce and various clubs.
Separate slips for each name are made
and folded before being deposited in
the box by members of the commission.
When the time arrives for regular
drawings or when special panel for
condemnation or other cases Is ordered,
at least two of the members Of the COM
mission attend and supervise the draw
ing of the names. As each slip Is drawn
out. 1t is noted on large sheet of paper
and when the required number, usually
between 400 and 500, have been select
3D. the list is turned over to the United
States Marshal for service by his
deputies on each person selected.

INSTITUTE DELAYS
SESSION IN CHINA
Sino-Japanese Dispute Causes Post

Conference.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
SHANGHAI, September 24.-The dis
pute between China and Japan over
the latter's occupation of Southern
Manchuria caused the indefinite post
ponement today of the Fourth Biennial
Conference of the Institute of Pacific
Relations. which had planned to con-
81.
Institute authorities said they felt the
disturbed relations between the two
countries would make 1t impossible for
Japanese and Chinese delegates to meet
in q friendly spirit.
AS the postponement was announced
majority of the delegates from Amer
lea, Great Britain and the latter's do
minions already were en- route to the
Orient to attend the meeting.
Omcial announcement Of the post
ponement was withheld pending a
meeting between Jerome d. Greene
chairman of the Pacific Council, the In
stitute,s governing body, and British
canadian and Japanese members of the
council at Yokohama next Saturday.
Preparations for formal conference
were abandoned, however, In favor of
having the various Occidental delega-
tons travel through Japan and China.

ground and meeting those Chinese and
japanese delegates who would have at
tended the Hangchow meeting.
All but three or four of the American
group OF delegates already are in Japan
or China or crossing the Pacific, and all
other delegations except the Japanese
are well on their way to China.
Besides Greene, the American dele
cation includes Willis j. Abbott of Bos-
ton, Isaiah Bowman of New York. Miss
Ada L. Comstock of Radcliffe College.
Cambridge, Mass. and Chester H. Ro-
well, Berkeley, Calf, publicist.
Vincent Massey, head OF the Cana

Despite postponement of the main
conference. the institutes Pacific Coun-
Gil and Research Council will meet here
about October IL, to discuss the future,
especially q five-year research program
for which the Rockefeller Foundation
recently gave $3.50, 900.
The institute is composed of proni-
nent individuals of the various countries
bordering on the Pacific and its purposes
are to discuss the political, social and
economic problems of that area.

him from the Agriculture Department.
About the political aspects and con.
sequences of the inquiry Mr. Hyde would
not talk at all, except to concede to
questioners that some such consequences
might ensue.
Rumors Nest Stirred Up.
Momentarfly, the net result was to
stir up again one OF Washington's most
active nests OF rumors. These reports
always take multitude of forms. One,
OF course, Is that Mr.. Hoover, under
the urging of the rnodificationists,
labor leaders and many other elements,
will recommend a change to Congress.
Another is that he is collecting def
mite evidence on which to turn down
the ptittions which contend beermak-
ing would increase employment and
give relief to the farmer.
These rumors on both sides, have
become so numerous that the White
House long since ceased to take any
notice OF them. Whatever Mr.. Hoover
may be thinking, he has been saying
nothing and no one has attempted to
speak directly for him.
1t was Congress which set the alco-
holic content of legal drinks at one

tionists now are talking about a and
per cent product The general agree
ment is that Congress would have to
act again.
Action Much In Doubt.
How Is would respond to a .presi-
Dental recommendation is matter of
debate, although under normal con-
ditions the majority Is conceded to be
heavily against modification.
Whatever action the American Legion
may take at its Detroit convention, it
certainly will get the serious attention
of the administration and the congress
sional forces of both parties. The i'm
portance attached here to agitation on
the bonus has far from obliterated the
attention given also to prohibition.
One newspaper man remarked to the
Secretary of Agriculture today that he

That was interpreted as being the
liberal side" was the answer.

France believes that Germany's eco

prosperity, and in the long run, Ger

the highest official authority, 1t was
learned that France wishes to help put
Germany on her feet by concrete meas

which already have been approved by

OF the world, including Latin America.

It is believed Premier Laval will dis

Berenger Praises Plans.
Henri Berenger. former Ambassador
to Washington, who negotiated the
Franco American debt accord, ex-
pressed pleasure today at the projected
visit of Premier Laval to Washington.
He described the United States and
