Jones has made a personal study of "lioboes" in all parts of the country. He says that the only way to get rid of such people is to refrain from helping them. To put them on a farm for two years where they would have to work would 'be a good solution of the problem.

Jones said the tramp lived the most luxurious life of any human being, and in support of this statement showed where they collected as high as and a day. This was doubted by some of his hear- ers. After his talk Mr. Jones disguised 1 himself as a tramp, and. inside of one hour, in the city of Washington, on street and Pennsylvania avenue, collected i over a dollar by begging.

Disqualification because lie could neither read nor write of a juror in the trial of the embezzlement charge against John Barton Miller, formerly secretary-treasurer of the First Co-operative Building Association of Georgetown, resulted today in starting the trial anew. Justice Stafford decided to discharge the eleven other men who had been sworn with the incompetent juror and to allow the summoning of another venire. The court held that the live members of the regular April panel, who were not challenged either by the government or defense, might constitute a nucleus ibout which to complete the regular panel, as though the other twenty-one jurors were sick or legally excused. Accordingly, he directed the clerk to summon fifty talesmen to report this afternoon for the purpose of completing the regular panel or twenty-six jurors. Should the panel be filled the ordinary examination by the government and defense will then begin in order to discover any of the accepted jurors is peculiarly fisqualified to try this particular case.

The exercising of the ten challenges by paeh side will be resorted to and an acceptable jury secured by Monday at tiie latest. The jury must be completed by Monday, as the jury term expires on that day, and a failure to secure a competent Jury before Tuesday would require a third examination of talesmen. 129-5 St. IiOuIn and Return.
