Women on Juries;

Judge Lawlor's court.
This decision was announced from

motion of Attorney Robert Burns for I
a jury in the second trial of J. C
"VYestenberg for criminal libel.
"As the law now stands women are
not eligible to serve on juries," de
clared Judge Lawlor. "I take this

cedure, which says that a jury Is
composed of men. Until the legisla
ture can enact laws to permit it
women can not serve on Juries."
■\Vestenberg was tried by a jury on
charges preferred by Doctor Rosen
stirn. The jury disagreed and Wes
ternberg's attorneys argued that the
case involved questions of civic mo
rality, which might be Interpreted
better by women than men.

PORT BREAKS
TONNAGE
October Shows Biggest Export
Business in History

MILLION INCREASE
PORT EXPORTS GROW
rOTAL exports from San
Francisco lo foreign, Ha
waiian and Atlantic ports dur
ing October, 1913. $12,677,
--577; the same during October,
1912, $1 1,379,854; increase,
$1,297,683.
TONNAGE ARRIVALS
October, 1913, domestic
and foreign, sail and steam,
656.708 tons; October, 1912,
611.651 ; increase, 49.057.
And still the business of the port
grows. The records of the custom
house show that during October, 1913,
San"Francisco <?IdThe biggest «xport
business in the history of the port.
Tonnage arrivals were also the heav
iest on record.
Exports from this port during Oc
tober amounted to 112.677,537, an in
crease of $1,297,683 over October of
last year. The tonnage Increase over
October, 1912, was 49.057 tons.
This increase was not due to any
sudden capsizing of the horn of
plenty, but is the outcome of a steady
growth that there is every reason to
believe will be maintained with in
creasing vigor. The shipping of thft
port is already in advance of the fa
cilities for handling it with economi
cal dispatch, but this situation will
be relieved by the completion of a
number of large wharves now almost
ready for service.
Tonnage now on the way to San
Francisco is four times greater than
it was at this time last year, and by
this time next year all previous rec
ords will be submerged under a tidal
wave of trade, and the world will be
pointing to San, Francisco as the com
ing center of the world's commerce.

THAW LOSES
EXTRADITION
BATTLE
Removal Demand of New
York Granted by New
Hampshire Governor
CONCORD. Nov. S.—Harry IC Thaw
has been ordered extradited to New
York. The decision of the governor
was announced at 11:05 this morning.
It was, written, and copies were
handed to Thaw's lawyers, to Thaw
himself, to Bernard L. Jacobs, repre
senting Jerome, and to the newspaper
men.
Governor Felker refused to com
ment on his action beyond referring i
his inquirers to his written decision.
This decision designates Sheriff Horn
beck of Dutchess county to take
Thaw back to New York. Sheriff j
Hornbeck was named in the requisi
tion papers filed by Jerome.
WIUL NOT RETURN TO ASVI.VM j
The decision handed down today
does not mean that Thaw will be re
turned immediately to Matteawan. He |
has pending in the United States dis
trict court a petition for a writ of
habeas corpus. It is Improbable that
the hearing will be held for at least
three weeks.
The extradition order was granted
in response to requisition paper* from
Governor Glynn of New York, fted
by former District Attorney Jerome
of New York city.
Governor Felker bases his extradi
tion order on a written opinion from
Attorney General Tuttle. The gov
ernor's decision is strictly in accord
with Interstate comity.
THAW ISSUES STATEMENT
Thaw apparently was not disturbed
and issued the following statement:
"It has been my opinion that Gov
ernor Felker would order my extra
dition. All people concerned thought
so and I naturally was moved by their
belief. It is also my opinion that
Governor Felker did what he believed
was right. I think he merely con
sidered whether the documents were j
technically correct, and that he did
not inquire into the motive which in
spires the persecution of me.
"I am not disheartened, and my
strongest hopes lie now in the federal j
courts."
