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.

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

Consul states that other witnesses will
have to be examined before a decision

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.

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

star the hearty praise of critics and
