women Jurors
Are Merciless
Refuses to Have One Among
12 Trying Client for Mur.
der Woman Judge
Answers Charge.
By MARGERY REX.
' Fori Jnternatloual New Sortie.
New York, June 18. In our
country there is a bold challenger
no, not M. Georges Larpentier.
Braver than that. even.
While the Gallic Georges invites
trouble with only one strong man,
consider the temerity of E. M. isal
lard, Cincinnati lawyer, who calls all
women merciless. He declares he
will have none of them on the jury
which will pass upon the case of his
client, Walter Brockman, charged
with first degree murder.
"I challenged off all five women
peremptorily," he said. "No, I don't
mind stating my reasons. The record
thus far in criminal cases ha shown
th,at woman jurors always are for
conviction.
"Women are merciless, much
more so than men," he told the
court.
This from the state of Ohio, Vhere
sits the only woman judge in a
criminal court, Florence Allen, first
of her sex to serve in a court of
general jurisdiction.
Judge Allen's own views 'on the
woman juror were brought to our
attention by Mrs. Raymond Brown,
member of the New York State
League of Women Voters, who has
commented upon tne opinion oi me
. '
i 'mo lawyer. . . ,: ,
Woman Jurist's Views on Jurors.
"The best answer to the charge is
contained in an article by Judge Al
len in a recent number of the Wom
an Citizen," said Mrs. Drown, who is
:tlsa managing director of that suf
frage publication.
"She points out one phase of the
woman jury question that is worth
considering that it is difficult to get
men of intelligence and -ducation to
m rvc on juries. They are absorbed in
their business and try to make x
custs "Such men feel they simply can't
r.!To:d to give up their time to jury
only. But there is a large class of
intelligent women who have the lei
sure for this service, and they shquld
be Riven the opportunity for it.
"Women are usually suspected of
being too lenient on juries, and
Judge Allen brings out 'hese points
in these paragraphs," 'Mrs. Brown
said, quoting the article as follows:
Not Too Lenient. .
"There has been , some question
whether the women jurors would not
be too sympathetic and let criminals
go scot-free ox allow them undue
leniency. This doubt certainly has
not been borne out in my experi
ence. John Azarello was tried for
tirst-degrce murder before me and
found guilty; the , only woman on
tlje jury wjs steadfast for conviction.
Wj lately tried Frank Motto for
first-degree murder in my court. He

OH trie jury, rroni me mat b;b
manded the death penalty for the
mutcicr, which was peculiarly wan
ton." The jury which has just given
the death penalty to Purpera, an ac
complice of Mo'to, included four
women."
Mrs.. Brown then called our at
tention to the following:
"However, in the preliminary se
lection of jurors for these cases,
many women were' excused because
they were opposed to capital pun
ishment and would shrink from send
ing to the chair another mother's son.
It is evident that generalizations
cannot be made as to women jurors
any more than as to men jurors,
so far as leniency is concerned.
139 Knds of Wine Served
' At Feast Held in Alsace
Paris, June 18. The banquets
and the drinking bouts of the an
cient Romans fade in glory in com
parison to the entertainment that
recently took place at Colniar, Al
sace. . - . ,
, It was the feast of the wines of
Alsace held invan ancient abbey in
the picturesque corner of ancient
Colmar. No fewer than 139 differ
ent kinds of wine were served. The
rarest and most imaginative vin
tages, the color of which ran the
gamut of the rainbow, were drunk
by a gathering of wealthy wine
growers and experts and their
friends.
Ex-King Manuel
'Penny Gambler'
World's Gayest Monarch, Liv
ing on Riviera, Plays Bridge;
Loyal to Wife.
By NEWTON C. PARKE.
' Nice, May 14. Ex-King Manuel
of Portugal, whose escapades with
the late Gaby Dcslys won him the
title, "the world's gayest monarch,"
is leading as quiet and simple a life
as a man can lead on the French
Riviera. A plain St. Louis business
man, out for a larke at Nice, Cannes
and Monte Carlo, makes the former
Portuguese ruler look as dead as an
Egyptian mummy. .
Mrs. Manuel is with the ex-king
almost everywhere he goes. In the
morning they are frequently seen
strolling along the Rue d'Antibes. in
Cannes, "window-shopping" and occasionally-making
a few small pur
chases. - -
Manuel,, always accompanied by
the former queen, spends his after
noons at bridge, at the races or play
ing tennis. He is a "bridge fiend"
and on rainy days is at the bridge
table all afternoon, at the Cercle
Nautique. There he finds, among the
best known players,, the Grand Duke
and Grand Duchess Cyril, Countess
Torby, Prince Radziwill, the Duchess
of Albany, the Princess of Athlone,
Princess Marie of Ligne, the Baron
de Rothschild and the Prince and
Princess Philip of Bourbon.
The former king plays a good
game . at tennis. In the ' last big
tournament he succeeded in reaching
the semi-finals before' he was elim
inated by a younger player.
Excepting for his wife, Manuel is
seldom seen alone in the company of
any woman but Lady Coats, who is
a well-known figure at Cannes and
an intimate of the former Queen of
Portugal. .He frequently escorts
Lady Coats to tea and sometimes to
the Casino at night, when his wife
is a bit tired.
Manuel is ah almost nightly figure
at the Casino. He has engaged, for
the entire season the first loge, but
seldom occupies it, preferring the
baccarat room. There he gambles
every night, but in sums so. small
that the Monte Carlo habitues would
instantly pronounce him a "piker."
But the ex-king, so the Casino at
tendants say, generally comes away
slightly ahead of the game.
Since their arrival at Cannes the
ev-king and queen have occupied a
luxurious apartment in the resort's
highest-priced hotel.
Kenosha Is Skeptical of
' Miracle Cure of Russian
Kenosha, Wis., Jurt 18. The
citizenry of this city is divided into
two camps over the remarkable re
covery of Andrew Morris, a Russian
religionist, from crippling injuries,
suffered a year ago. Morris and his
friends say he was miraculously
healed" through the "faith of
prayer."
Morris prayed in Russian hour
after hour at a tiny mission here.
He prayed without success. He had
used crutches for a year, with limbs
all disjointed and twisted horribly.
He had been crushed in a Kenosha
factory.
One day a fellow missionite told
Morris to pray in, English. Morris
learned the tongue enough to re
peat three or four prayers. Back
he went to the mission. He prayed
several days without success.
Then came a day when he prayed
with a new hope in his voice. He
had had a vision the night before.
Fifteen . minutes of monotonous
drooning then Morris collapsed.
Convulsions seized him. He writhed
on the floor. Tea minutes later he
arose and walked without crutches.
Patient Killed By Boiling
Bath; Nurse Takes Own Life
Vienna, June 18. Remorse for
having caused the death of a patient
in a hospital through accidental neg
ligence, drove Ottilie Sora, a nurse
aged 26, to commit suicide.
Miss Sora was nurse in the clime
of, Prof. Dr. Riehl, in Vienna. She
had placed Frank Kusa in a bath,
and had turned on the hot water to
make the bath warmer. Suddenly
she heard a shriek from an adjoin
ing ward and rilshed in there to see
what had happened. She assisted in
'quieting a patient there, and when
she returned to Kusa found him
dead in the boiling bath. Shocked
by what she had done, and believ
ing that n was her fault, the nurse
left the hospital and threw herself
in front of a passenger train, .being
instantly killed. .
Secretary Davis
Is Member of Only
Eighteen Lodges
Fraternal Orders Are His
Specialty But He's No
Millionaire Despite .
Rumor of Wealth.
Washington, June 18. Secretary
of Labor Davis today confessed that
lie isn't a millionaire. The man who
rose from a puddler in the steel
mills of Pittsburgh to the dignity of
a cabinet officer laughingly said that
the report that he was in the magi
cal class of the wealthy was "greatly
exaggerated."
He then explained how the report
that he was a millionaire got abroad.
It appears that long before he ever
dreamed of sitting around the cabi
net table of the president of the
United States he had occasion as
director general of the Loyal Order
of Moose to apply to a Pittsburgn
banker for the loan of $1,000,000 to
finance certain activities of that fra
ternal organization. The banker,
taking the application under consid
eration, called in some of his asso
ciates for advice.
How Story Started,
"Who is this man Davis?" he
asked.
"Why, he is the general organizer
of the Moose and every one of its
600,000 members pays him $2 a
year," one of the bankers replied.
.He got the loan all right, and that
is how the story originated that he
was a millionaire.
"It ; trni that everv member of
the order pays $2 a year," said Sec
retary Davis, "but tnat goes to
for children and the
maintenance of a school to educate
them."
It is one of his creeds that "every
rfcilrl is entitled to at least a high
school education and a trade." In
Mooseheart, Ind., the order now
maintains a school where orphan
i-Viildren numherinsr 1.200 are being
educated and trained to make useful
citizens. This school is one ot the
hobbies of the labor secretary and
h i alwavs nlanninar to increase
its scope and effectiveness.
He's a Jomer.
"T?m" Davis, as the new secretary
of labor -is affectionately called, is a
"jiner.". He is a memoer ot j ira
ternal and other organizations, but
th Loval Order of Moose claims
most of his attention.' He joined
that order in 1906, becoming its
247th member. Since 1907 he has
hfen its rfirector-e-eneral and under
his administration it now numbers
over 600,000 members.
The labor secretary was born in
Tredegar, Wales, on October 27,
1873, and was brought to this coun
try by his parents in 1881. When
but' 11 years of age he started out to
work and found hard employment in
the steel-mills, at Sharon, Pa. In
1892 he went to Pittsburgh and
wnrWA in the steel mills there as a
puddler. Later he went to Ellwood,
Ind., and became county cjerk. - Me
still holds a. union card in the
Amalgamated Iron and Steel Work
ers' International union.
The first mistress of the White
House to have a private secretary
was Mrs. Roosevelt.
