PAROLES ISSUED State in Williams Case Exacted More Puniatoneut Than Was Dun Raleigh, June 26. —The old crim ing! code of “an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth” does not prevail 4n North Carolina, and because the State ; unintentionally exacted an eye from Nathan Williams, convicted in Guilford County Superior Court for larceny and sentenced to from two to three years in State prison. Wil liams today ia a free man as the re sult of the parole granted him by Governor A. W. McLean. Williams had been working as a rock driller in the quarry at Hid denite, N. C. Some dynamite had been placed in the holes and apparent ly all had been discharged. Williams with the other went back to work drilling when a "shot” that had not yet been set off exploded near by and Williams was seriously injured. Later it was found necessary to remove one of his Cyes and in addition to the loss of one eye. he suffered great bodily pain as the result of his in juries. In commenting on the case in grant ing the parole Governor McLean said: “Without regard for the sen tence imposed, I feel that the State of North Carolina has exacted vast ly more punishment that was ever intended by the court. In order that the prisoner may feel that the State is interested not only in punishing men for their crimes, but also in show ing mercy for those in its charge in such unfortunate instances as this, I am giving him his liberty.” Ollie Baldwin, young negro boy, convicted qf assaulting a negro girl and sentenced to twelve months on the Chatham county roads, has also been paroled, on the strength of new evidence showing that no injury was done.

Ragan not only sought to restrain the department of revenue from collecting the license tax on real estate dealers, but also assailed the entire revenue act as be ing unconstitutional and contrary to the bill of rights. If it had been sustained; all the State departments and institutions would have had to cease operation, Inasmuch as all the State revenue would have been shut off, with the exception of the highway department. “We are breathing much mure easily up here now,” said - Commis sioner Doughton. “We were afraid for awhile that all of us would lose our jobs.

THIRD MEETING j WAS HELD FRIDAY 'Drastic Revision of Meth ■ | od of Selecting Jurymen and Challenging Jurors Was Proposed. Tribune Buren, Sir Walter Hotel, i Raleigh, June 26—That the judi- I eial system of the State is already benefiting from the work of the State Judicial Council, treated by the last legislature to work out recommendations looking toward the constructive revision of legal pro cedure in North Carolina, is most evident following only the third meeting of the conference held Fri day in the Supreme court rooms. At this time a drastic revision of the method of selecting jurymen and in challenging prospective jurors was proposed by the committee on juries, of which Judge F. A. Daniele is chairman, with indications that as soon as slight revisions are made nnd the proposals put in statute form, that its passage by the State iegioature would be recommended. Much progress has been made toward the working out of a definite Judi cial System, Justice W. J. Adams, chairman of the committee reported, but on account of the excessive amount of research work required, the full report of the committee was not ready for submission at this time. While suggestions relating to the vork of other committees were made, the only formal rejairt sub mitted was that of Judge Daniels of the Committee on Juries. The mem bers of the committee are: Judge Henry A. Grady, E. H. Grnmmer. N. A. Sinclair and Messers. G. K. Freeman, G. V. Cowper, J. O. Carr and J. Bayard Clark. The list of report of of the com mittee on juries consisted,', first. that the duty of making' up the jury lists lie no longer vested in the board of county commissioners, as at pres ent, but that it be vested in a special board in each county to be known as the Jury Commission, whose duty it would be to examine the tax lists and select from those lists those tax payers who in the judgment of the eommissiion are best qualified to act as jurors, both from the standpoint of being taxpayers and men of known character and intelligence, capable of passing on evidence in an intelligent and discriminative man ner. In a most able discussion and ex planation of the report of the com mittee, Judge Daniels said that there was no reflection of the Vork which has been done by the various boards of county commissioners intended, nnd that It was to relieve the coun ty commissioners from so man) duties that this change in the system of making up the jury lists in pro posed. "The county commissioner today in North Carolina is a very musy man. A tremendous amount of detail work is constantly thrust upon him and he does not hnve the necessary time to devote the makeup of the jury lists—nnd he really should not be expected to do this. That is why we have proposed that an entirely separate body, to be known as the County Jury Commission, composed of five members, be created to per form this very important task. This commission should be composed of in telligent, capable men, with a large acquaintance in their county, so that they can adequately pass on the qualiaies of, those on the tax lists as propective jurors. It is no wonder that in the past, jury lists have been inadequately compiled, because the county commissioners simply have not had the time to devote to this work,” said Judge Daniels. Attention was further called to the fact that by assuring the courts of a sufficient supply of well-qualified jurors at all times, a great saving in time would result in the dispatch of court business, as it would great ly reduce the time usually required in the examination of jurors. The second drastic departure from present court procedure as proposed by tbe committee is the abolition of the peremptory challenge and the substitution of what is known as the “struck jury” system. This provides that in the selection of a jury in all but capital cases, the judge shall examined the jurors, and after ex cusing any for cause, shall present to the attorneys for both sides a total of 18 prospective jurors. When there are more than two antagonistic parties, three additional jurors may be nllowed for each additional an tagonistic party. From the jurors so presented, each antagonistic party shall hnve the right to strike off three jurors, leaving at last twelve jurors who shall try the cause. Coun sel for either party, however, shall have the right to suggest to the judge, however, any cause or causes about which a juror may be ques tioned touching his fitness to serve. In capital cases no material change in the system is provided except that the court shall be empowered to or der the clerk to draw from the jury box such number of jurors as the judge may deem wise. The only change recommended in the rsport of the committee—and this change was later incorporated in | Maine Couple Married on Horseback, Will Spend Honeymoon in the Saddle (By International News Service) Bath.

Carr a member of the committee—was that the five members of the jury commission, be appointed so that three members would be from the dominant political party in the county, and the other two members from the minority party. This matter was brought to the attention of the conference by Johnson J. Hayes, of North Wilkes-' boro. Solicitor of the Seventeenth j Judicial district, and in doing so Mr. Hayes paid splendid tribute to the judiciary of State, saying that never in his practice had ever noted the slightest tendency on the part of any judge to permit politics to enter into the conduct of his course, that he raised the point at this time only be cause he felt sure that if it were not incorporated in the committee re port now, it would be sure to come up in the legislature. Most of those in attendance upon the conference agreed with Mr. Hayes, inelhding the .members of the committee, and the change was made by amendment. Judge IMniels said that the thought had never occurred to him, concur ring with Mr. Hayes in paying de cided tribute to the judiciary in its freedom from political considerations.

Salem, Mass., June 2(s.—This his toric old New Englnnd city is in a flutter of anticipation over the near approach of its three hqmlredth birthday celebration, the plane for which have been going forward for more than a year. With the opening of the tercentenary only about a week distant the various committees are busy with the final details of the program, while public buildings, business housese and private resi dences are already beginning to blos som out in gala attire. Vice Presi dent Dawes and many other notables will be here, parades and pageants, music and fireworks will feature the daily program, and for an entire week business will be largely sus pended whi.e the townspeople join with the thousands of visitors in get ting their fill of festivity and merry making. Salem was the original settlement of the Bay Colony, 1626. Under the old Indian name, Naumkeag, this earliest among Massachusetts settle ments, after the settlement of Ply mouth. was made three hundred yenrs ago by Boger Oonant and 27 comrades. John Eindicott, who join ed the colony in 1628, laid out the earliest streets and lots, under cer tain rights granted the original planters. The next year the name Naumkeag was changed to Salem. Koger Williams removed from Plymouth to Salem in 1633 and be gan vigorously to preach freedom of thought and religious liberty. When persecutions arose against his preach ing he left and joined the Providence Plantation, which was then more peaceful- The Salem witchcraft dis turbances arose in 1692. The town grew and prospered even in Revolu tionary days, successfully resisting the seizure of cannon by Colonel Leslie and a British force at North River Bridge in 1775.’ From the little group at early dwellings, huddled together in a pro tected cove of the North Rover, grew the sturdy community that has con tributed much to the civilization of the United States. Here, through errors and vicissitudes, religion and education were cherished and here were built and launched the ships that carried to the Far East tidings of the growing country in the West ern Hemisphere, find that made the American flagg a familiar object in the ports of the world. Here today in a thoroughly mod ern community are cherished the relics of Salem’s antiquity. There is scarcely a street in the city left un touched by the great fire of 1914 that does not bear testimony to the thorough, painstaking, prosperous past. There are gabled sloping-roofed dwellings of the seventeenth century, built evidently in imitation of the Gothic half-timbered cottages of England; there are t he square, box-shaped structures with mansard roofs, fitted to the more luxurious style of living of the eighteenth cen tury. and the stately homes of the period when Salem was mistress of the seas and her skippers rnme home from foreign parts to enjoy life, and to build into their homes and gar den beauty and comfort. As the birthplace of Nathaniel Hawthorne, Salem is, perhaps, better known than for any other reason. Here is the house in which he was born, the customhouse where he was employed, the Mall Street house in which he wrote “The Scarlet Let ter,” the house of seven gables im mortalized by his book, and here now stands the first monument to his genius ever erected. Others among Salem’s well-known sons have been Alexander Graham Bell, Bowditch the navigator; Gen. James Miller, of Lundy’s Lane; Joseph E. Worcester, the lexico grapher; William Frederick Poole, celebrated librarian, and John Rog ers, the sculptor.
