I do not think attorneys would care to risk women Jurios, and I do not believe there will be any In this county soon. There are two or three classes of men who v ant to ace women on Juries. One claas believes that when granted suffrage women obllgsted themselves to tske up jury work and like duties; an other class, against equal suffrage, want to see It out of spite, and a third class out of curiosity. 700 KILLED IN ONE TOWN Tale of Victims of Mount Taal Erup tion Still Grows.
