Iff SIOMT'S . 1 01IIU1 Deals Blow to Profes sional Jurors, Undcsirabc Class of Men Will Heet a Chilly Reception Hereafter ' - Sheriff Storey has authorised Th Jour nal to state that in future no man known as a "professional wlU'be allowed to sit as a Juror in Multnomah County. "I will not stand for such men to ob tain sittings on juries In any case whli I am sheriff," said that offlclal,t"and th sooner that class, of people are mad to understand this matter, the better it will be for all concerned. j . "I have seen this office filled with men waiting after a special venire had been ordered and the minute I came in they would greet me with outstretched hand, and request me to place them on . the Jury. I have never gtvt-n a one 'of them places, so far as It has come to my knowledge-that they were professionals. '"It ought not to be necessary for mo to make such a statement as this, but since the matter has come to such a bass, I have no hesitancy in saying that all 'professionals' may as well clear out and leave this office alone, for they will not receive anything while I am here." MANY "PROFESSIONALS." ' "Are there many men such as you tcni 'professionals? " was asked of Sheriff Storey. ' "Why, -ou would bS surprised at the number. We have to be constantly on our guard, lest some one slips in before we learn who he Is. There are so many men who make Jury-slttlng a business that It is next to Impossible to weed them out. But from this time foxth, we will nwke a special- affurt to eliminate all such people." THE JURY LAW. The jury law in this state provides tor the drawing of 600 jurors each year. They serve on oases which are termed "regu lar." After thTs panel hue been exhaust ed, the court orders what Is known as a "Klee1al venire." The regular drawing Is made by the Jury Commissioners, while the special venire is placed in true hands of the sheriff for service. The matter having been placed In his hands, he furnishes his deputies with a list of taxpayers, who are subpoenaed In regular manner It Is after the special venire has been ordered that the "professional" gets In his work, or that he attempts to. There are always a number of men hanging around the court house for the purpose of taking ready In case of a spe 'ctatlVeidre. They 'wtUf .trhttf TJne"ts W deref. then they make ready to greet the sheriff. ; - v liTTCR POLITICIANS;-.' 'Lttie- -iwnrjr- pntltlMaiis. ihe ' "profes sional" juryman greets the Bherl ft wlt;h a benign smile and a glad hand. They stick and cling like Leeches, and do not propose to take "No" .ror an answer. They take the sheriff's offloe by storm, and watt there until the lust hope of "get tlnir on" is gone. Sheriff Storey has had so much trouble and annoyance over the matter that he has determined to make himself felt In this county. From this time forth all '"professionals" will be given the taarbla heart, nnd the door at the sheriff's olliea will always bo unlocked so that said Jury-setters can walk out. CONSiDERtKG CHARGES. The complaints made last' w.eeK before German Consul Lohan by the sal'ors of the Emclle against the captain a ml. first mate of the ship, alleging drunkenness and cruelty, are being ccnsldered by the official representative of the Kaiser. The Consul states that other witnesses will have to be examined before a decision is reached; If the charges are sustained when all the evidence is In he intimates that the captain will join the big army of the unemployed.

" After appearing in the part more than 1. 000 times It could not be expected that Robert Downing would be less than per fect In the character of "The Oladlator" in the play of that title by A. Saumet. Year after year Mr. Downing has gone before the people In tna part, until there Is nothing left for him to attain. He acts the gladiator as though he were in very fact In. the arena at Rome, where vox popull was vox del. - The production Is satisfying In every respect, excepting that Flavian is In adequate, and Miss Downing was not clear In her enunciation. She reads the lines of the part of Neodamla beauti fully atf to all other essentials, but can aot be heard and understood beyond the footlights by reason of poor enuncia tion1. It is a pity that a voice so sweet toned and sympathetic should not And Ha just results. There is merely a sugestton of the same-fault In Miss Van Braham's read ings. She ' appears as Faustina. But the fault is much less apparent than in the other. Excepting that one fault, Miss Down ing Is remarkably artlstlo In her work. She wlhs the sympathy of the audience from the first, and holds It throughout performance. This also Miss Van Braham does as Faustina. Mr. Benlson as Origin. Mr. Qullllnan as the pagan priest, were equally strong. These" are about all of the epeaklng parts, Flavian being another. Flavian could be stronger If Mr. Slevln, cast by Mr. Downing for the part, were to ln Jec lnt0. .'t. more, of that subtle quality known-as attnijephere, whereby an actor creates the -impression that he is not merely talking of the weather. No mat ter how perfectly he may talk even as he d)scusses the weather, If lie show not Interest in his theme he will be a poor conversational 1st. A weak Flavian Is unfortunate In so strong a play. . However, the production Is wonder fully perfect. There are fine scenic ef fects, and stage management Is admira ble, Indeed. The pictures In all five acts are exactly appropriate. Downing and his competent company Should fill the Marquam Grand tonight to capacity. If there ne enough discrim inative taste In Portland to Justify any thing but minstrel "shows," there will be a patronage nt Mr. Downing' last appearance tonight that will constitute proof of that discrimination.

Not more than 10 seats will be sold to any one person for any single performance. "Xlohard Carvel." Andrew Robson and his large sup porting company present the dramatised version of Winston Churchill's popular novel, "Richard Carvel," at tho Mar quam Grand Thenter for five perform ances, beginning with the Christmas matinee and continuing Thursday, Fri day and Saturday nights wtth a special matinee Saturday, and a production of unusual merit Is promised. Mr. Robson Is an actor who evidently does not expect his own ability to bo distinguished because It stands promi nent by contrast with the lack of It In his support, for he has surrounded him self. with a company that In every city visited this season has shared with the star the hearty praise of critics and public. Among tho representatives of the 32 characters taken from the book and Incorporated Into the play are Her man LieU, Ferrers Knyvett. Thomas C. Hamilton, Oliver R Collins, John W. Hennett.

The company num bers 25 people, has many new . costume number, new music, a complete scenic outfit for three acts, and Kdgar Selden, the author, has written many comic successes.
