By FRANK G. HOLMES This is the first in a series of articles on the weaknesses of our present jury system, under which the most qualified citizens evade service, with constructive suggestions to remedy the evils. What's wrong with New York's jury system? It is notorious that the poor quality of local Juries has resulted In frequent miscarriages of justice. Every lawyer knows that the low mental caliber of many of the men on the average panel, their Inability to under stand even the simplest questions, unduly delays jury selection. -s ft a at 1 s.

i Sugar Official Claims Lawyer Asked President for Job Approval Washington, Dec. 11 UP) H. C. Lakln, president of The Cuba Company, sugar importers, testified today before the Senate Lobby Committee that Edwin P. Shattuck would not accept employment with his concern until he had consulted with Mr.

Hoover, then President-elect, at Miami, Fla. Lakin said he wished to employ Shattuck to work for lower sugar duties and that the latter accepted after conferring with the then President-elect. He added that he understood that the President said "it was all right." "In effect, you offered to hire him and he asked Hoover if it would be all right?" Chairman Caraway of the committee asked lakin. "Yes," the witness answered, "to see if it would cause the President any embarrassment." Lakin reiterated previous testimony that Shattuck, an attorney had been employed "chiefly because of his relations" with President Hoover-and Chairman Emoot of the Senate Finance Committee. He had cold the committee that Shattuck was probably Mr.

Hoover's "closest legal iriend" asui that lie was tiu personal attorney for the President and his family. Hired for ''Influence." Caraway inquired if the attorney was not hired "because of his in-tluencc." Lakin said he did not 'interpret it mat way." but alfr the Lobby Committee chairman inquired if it were net chleily bprauso he knew Hoover and Smoot" thj sugar company presioent answered: He had their confidence." LakLi added lie was willinrr to 'admit influence if it doesnt imply something imprjper" and usserteJ he still approved of his emplcvment of Shattuck. From the circum.s'ancfs surround ing bhattucks employment, committee switched to communications between Lakin and persons Cuba interested in a lower tariff on sugar. A letter from the witness to the secretary of communication ot Cuba was read which proposed that propaganda in South American countries mhht help the forces for lower rates. Before the examination of Lakin was completed, the committee recessed until tomorrow, the niemlM'ts desiring to be in the utile the tariff debate Plan Inquiry.

The committee is to look into reports that commission pro in dealers have attempt 'd to lntcrtero with the Federal Farm Board in its et-for to establish a grain marketing organization owned and controlled by the fanners. The Investigation is to be bcc.un on Friday and the First witness is to be Jules Barnes, chairman of the hoard of dlrectois of the Chamber if Commerce of the United States, who at present Is engaged In organizing a national economic council as part ot President Hoover's business stabilization campaign. DIED IN BLAZE Norine Byrne, daughter of Mrs. Marie F.yrne, 549 38th Brooklyn, was anion sr the dead in yesterday's holocaust. i mitted to the scene of the mutiny, he declared that there must be no compromise, for it would mean the breaking down of the State's priso nsystem.

Meager details of the sensational mutiny at Auburn were received by other prison officials throughout the State and at Sing Sing Prison, Warden Lewis E. Lawes made the observation that he or any other warden might bep laced In the same predicament as Warden Jennings at almost any time. Lehman's Message Sharp. "It might happen to any of us," Lawes informed The Eagle over the long-distance telephone. "I'm not armed and I don't have any body-guahrd.

It would beu nsafe for me to have a weapon for I might be overpowered and the gun taken away from me In a riot." The text of Lehman's order, sent out at a time when those fighting the riot at Auburn were considering a compromise with thep rison-ers to save thel Ife of Jennigs, fol-Hvos: "So long as I am here there Willi be no compromise, no matter what the circumstances or he outcome. To compromise would be to be In the position of a military com mander refusing to order his troops to charge In battle. "Were there to be a compromise it would be a breakdown of the prison system. I have ordered all the authorities, Including thep National Guard, the State Troopers and the prison officials to uphold the State's position. Kieb Not at Albany.

Dr. Raymond P. C. Kleb, State Commissioner of Correction, could not be reached at his office in Albany today but a deputy volun leered the Information over the long-distance telephone that "there had been a general tightening up of precautionary measures at Auburn since last summer's riot." Asked specifically what Improvements had been put Into effect to prevent another outbreak such as today's, he replied, "Well, four State troopers were permanently assigned there." Warden Lawes" ability to prevent outbreaks during the 11 years ho has been in charge at Sing Sing Prison was attributed recently to thu fact that he keeps a supply of tear gas bombs on hand for outbreaks. "Have they tear gas bombs at Auburn?" Lawes asked today.

"I dont' know," he replied. "They certainly should have." Kleb's office In Albany was not sure whether or not tear gas bombs were on hand at Auburn but news dispatches from the scene of the riot said they had been ordered brought to the prison by the Syracuse police. Syracuse Is about 30 miles from Auburn. Warden Lawes pointed out that although the bombs would not prevent the prisoners from taking the Warden In his office, they would act as a prompt deterent to further rioting and probably cause the prisoners to give in. Hush Bombs by Plane To Scene of Mutiny One hundred tear gas bombs were taken from the New York City Police Department's arsenal today and rushed to Miller Field to be taken by air to Auburn Prison.

At the request of MaJ. Pen. William N. Haskell ot the National Oiiard, Commissioner Whalen ordered the bombs loaded on trucks and taken to the flying Held or, Staten Island. There 1st Lt.

No one will question that some of our ablest and most articulate citizens, men used to the demands of publio life and able to weigh for themselves the words of judge and witnesses and to Influence for good the corporate decision of the 12, never get inside a Jury box. It is easy enough to say that the poor quality of jurors is due to a disinclination to serve on the part ot high-grade business and professional men.

That, of course, is true. But it doesn't go to the root of the matter. The fundamental causes are to be found in the law itself and the manner in Which it is administered. Three Major Evils. These deficiencies of law and administration may be classified roughly under three headings: excuses and peremptory challenges.
