age Suit Against Traction
Company Secures Dismissal
of Talesman. . ,
Vehement protest by Henry EL Mo
Glnn against a Juror In a street rail
way damage cam who has ridden on
passes, was nee employed by the com
pany, and now has a'sonin the com
pany's employ, was made In ; Judge
Bronaugh's department of tha circuit
court yesterday afternoon and resulted
In ths excusing of T. J. ,Kecnan,' tha
man under fire, over the protest . of
It. W. Wilbur, attorney for the Portland
Hallway. Light A Power company.
"I feel that I would not be doing
my outy to mil client If. I did not pro-
tfst in the atrongest way I can," Mo
. uinn exclaimed.' and his voice was el
vated as he spoke until peopls In ths
hallways and clerks from tha offices
nocked in to hear hire volos hi feel
InRs.
"Nothing more tends to the spread of
anarchy than dlstruat of Juries, Tour
honor knows that the publlo preas and
tha bar of this city have discussed
charges that the street railway and ths
corporations hava men on our Juries,
It Is a matter of common notoriety that
nucn tilings are said, and here, on the
first day of the term and tha first
man examined for Jury duty In this
case, we find that It is true. No man
who has ridden on passs given by this
company, and no man who has a son
v whose advancement In tha employ of
tne company may depend upon ths ver
diet ha gives In this case can act fair
ly in trying a suit of thla kind. He
has said that he ran try ths case fair
ly, but I submit that ha Is not such a
Juror as we are ptltled to hare In this
case."
Court Emouses Man.
Judge Bronaugh finally Interrupted
to say mat no believed tne Juror would
not want t aerva after what had been
nld, and ha should not be required to
oo so. Keenan -asked tha court to be
excused, saying he did not .want to
serve. He -was excused, Wilbur taking
an exeeptloh to tha court's action.
Wilbur had examined ths Juror first,
and had failed to brine out that fact
that Keenan. had .been , an employs of
the old Consolidated street railway,
McGinn, when It came his turn, brought
this out also learned that Keenan had
used passes, -and (hat his son Is now a
dispatcher In the office of tha street
railway. But Keenan declared that
these facts would not Influence him as
a Juror and Judge Bronaugh denied a
challenge for causa until after Mc
Ginn's stormy speech. - - -
Two other men who were' related In
a buslnss way to ths -street railway
were excused before the Jury was com
