receiving line at presidential social
functions at the college.

PANEL CALLED
PREJUDICED,
ILLEGAL
O'ConneII to Appeal i;
Sees Stacked Cards
Against Client

Judge Edward M. Curran, who
yesterday ordered a jury in Police
Court stricken from the panel fol
lowing their verdict of not guilty
in negligent homicide case, to
day clashed in open court with
Attorney T. Edward O'Connell or
the jury question.
The attorney, who is defending
U. F. Alexander on a reckless driv
ing charge, challenged the legality
of the present jury panel, but wa
overruled by the jurist.
O'Connell noted an exception
and in event the Court of Appeals
should uphold him, it would nullify
all cases handled by the presen1
panel.
Enters Objection
The battle between the lawye7
and the judge started when O'Con
nell entered the courtroom anc
found the jury of IL men ALREADY
seated in the box.
He entered an immediate oh
lection, and added:
1T looks as though the cards
are stacked"
The judge then ordered the jury
out of the box and directed then
to take seats in the courtroom
then turned to the lawyer and de
manded:
what did you mean by that
remark about the cards being
Stacked?"
When the attorney failed to an
swer, the juriSt turned to the CLERK
of the court and remarked:
Shuttle those cards."
AS the clerk started to call of.
the jurors names, Judge Currar
halted him and, turning to O'Con
nell, said:
do you want to cut them?"
The attorney fired back:
81 object to that"
"TO what?"
"To the faceti0usnesS of that
remark"
The jury was then called anG
seated in the box, when O'Connel
renewed his attack, objecting OF
the ground that the jury wa
prejudicial.
Jury 'Prejudiced'
Several of them were present
he said, when Judge Curran dis
missed the IL jurors yesterday anC
upbraided them for their actor
in freeing the defendant on trial
Judge Curran overruled the oh
lection and an exception wa
noted. The trial of Alexander theI
started.
The jury was dropped from tn
panel by Judge Curran yesterda.
after they had acquitted Morgan
Glaze, colored, who was on tria
for a traffic fatality. The iudg
said that three or four members o
the jury came to him today. ad
mitted they were wrong in thei
verdict and asked that they be re
stored to jury duty.
Judge Curran said, however, tha
he had refused their pleas to bl
placed back on the panel, and l.
new names were drawn and th
panel completed before cour
opened today.

Shoe manufacturers of the

Youth
One neutrality-suspicious. cara
van will start for the Navy-Vir-

A light-hearted young friend of
ours has hired the biggest trailer
in captivity. Is having it fitted
with a lavish bar and a cautious
white-ribboned chauffeur. Thus
equipped he will travel with a
group of IL congenial characters
to cheer for Virginia.
This same bright spirit took the
same congenial characters to a
dance in Virginia last winter in
a private trolley car. He thought
automobiles would be dangerous.
The dance was being held at the
other end of about 40 miles of
winding, slippery roads. The troll
ley car. like the trailer, was out
fitted with a wet bar and a dry
driver.
incidentally it took an hour
and a half to get to the dance,
but five to get back home. The
motorman said the difference in
time occurred because some of the
passengers got a little playful
as the night melted into dawn
and took to pulling the emergency
brake. This brought the car to
a sudden stop every mile or so.

DEBT IS SHIFTED
BY GERMAN LLOYD
Stock Reduced to Provide for New
Shares to Take Up Heavy
Losses.
BY the Associated Press.


BREMEN, Germany, May 20.-The
North German Lloyd-Hapag Shipping
Lines announced decrease of capital
stock in the proportion of five shares
for one yesterday and the transfer
of 35,l32,00O marks (about s14,050,-
oOo) and 4OOoo,e0O marks, re-
spectively. of their debts into shares
to meet heavy Losses in 1884 and
1885.
Transfer of the debts to shares,
which increases the capital stock of
both the united lines to the original
amount, gives the German govern
ment a decisive influence over both
companies, financial circles said.
The German government for years
has subsidized North German Lloyd
& Hapag, but the statement did not
specify which debts were transferred
to shares and the extent of the
finance ministry's influence remains
undisclosed.
North German Lloyd claims 1914
per cent increase in passenger service
to the United States despite shrink
age of total tonnage from 65S, ,764 to
607,372 registered tons.
The devalua:ion of the American
dollar and difficult foreign trade con-
ditions were held responsible for the
heavy losses of both companies. which
were forced to postpone publication
of their balance for two years.
The Hapag statement reports a de-
crease of the company's total tonnage
from s21,451 to TAIL registered
tons.
