JURY SUPPLY SUGGESTED
T. H. Edwards Thinks Jobless Men
Should Serve In Petty Cases.
Employment of the idle and destitute
to serve as Jurors in the petty courts,
is proposed by T. H. Edwards, secre
tary of the Edwards Company, furni
ture dealers, as a solution of the ques
tion of the unemployed on one hand,
and as a relief for busy business men
on the other. Mr. Edwards writes a
letter to the Justices in which the
suggestion Is made, following his sum
moning to serve on a Jury a few days
ago, when there was some difficulty In
getting him to appear.
The writer says that he has been
summoned five times in 15"days. "There
are lots of good men out of jobs who
would be glad to make a dollar in
this way. Why not help them out in
stead of taking men away from their
business to try trivial cases? It seems
to me that the value of the time of
the men on your juries is. In most
cases, more than the sum Involved in
the trial."
The suggestion was not taken in
good part by Justice Olson, for whom
the letter was intended, and who is a
stickler for the enforcement of this
obligation of citizenship.

Walla Walla Penitentiary Head Is
Accompanied by Wife, Who, on
Journey, Draws $ 100 Salary.
OLTMPIA, Wash., Jan. 16. (Special.)
Refusal of State Auditor Clausen to
pay the expense bills of Charles S.
Reed, superintendent of the State Peni
tentiary at Walla Walla, on his trip
around the world is likely to cause
row that will go before the next ses
slon of the State Legislature.
Under instructions of the state board
of control and Governor Hay, Reed
went to India last May to investigate
crop conditions and to purchase jute
for the state. He carried with him i
letter of credit for $100,000,- but on ar
rival In India found that it was i
wrong season of the year, and that
prices were hicher than anticipated, so
he only purchased 40 bales of jute to be
used In experimenting.
The latter part or November Keea
filed with the board or control his ex
pr.nse account for the trip in bills total
ins approximately $2000. These were
approved by the board, and sent on to
the state auditor. After examining the
items Auditor Clausen refused to issue
the warrant, with the exception of the
item for transportation. $596.35. which
was the only one accompanied by
voucher. The others were lump sum
charges, and the refusal of the audi
tor to pay these charges was on the
ground that the law requires vouchers
for all expense payments.
Another feature of the Reed trip
which has just come to light is the fact
that he was accompanied by his wire.
The penitentiary accounts at the audi
tor's office show that during the time
she was traveling with her husband,
nearly four months, Mrs. Reed drew
a salary from the state of $100 a month
as day matron of the state prison. Dur
ing the time he was away Reed drew
his salary of $150 a month, in addi
tion to his $50 a month as a member
