JUNEAU FEDERAL COURT
IGNORES HIST JURY lil
* That jurors in the federal court
in the First Division, for the pres
ent at least will continue to be
drawn under the provisions of the
Territory jury law of 1925 notwith
standing the existance of a newer
act, passed last spring, that repeals
the 1925 statue, was indicated re
cently by Federal Judge Justin W.
Harding, says the Juneau Empire.
Jury lists now being prepared in
the office of Clerk of Court for a
fourthcoming term of court will
follow the requirements of the old
law, it was announced. Both grand
[ and petit jurors will be drawn
within a few days, and impaneled
on or about October 1.
No court order has yet been
signed by Judge Harding. He said
that the grand jury would report
for duty on October 1, and if any
cases are to be ready for trial then
the petit jury will report at the
same time. If there are no cases
ready, the petit jurors probably will
report for service about October 8.
The criminal calendar is said to be
limited, but there are a number of
civil actions pending.
The Territorial Legislature last
spring repealed the act of 1925,
after a stubborn fight had been
made to prevent such action. The
principalehange made by the new
law is in the number of names to
be included in the list from which
jurors are drawn. Under the terms
of the 1925 status, it was optional
with the clerk of court whether
1,000 names or three-fourths of the
voters in the last preceding election
were used- The 1931 act requires
that the names of at least four
fifths of the persons voting at the
last preceding Territorial election
be placed on the list from which
the drawings are made- It also
repealed the act of 1925.

Genuine "BULL” DURHAM Tobacco at 5^ marked the entrance of my father,
Percival S. Hill, into the Tobacco business. For 14 years he was President of The
American Tobacco Company. The fine quality and popularity of "BULL” DURHAM
were always subjects of great pride to him. Therefore, it is particularly gratifying to
us to offer this important saving and service to the American
public at this time.
