All Here— And All Clean EIGHTH YEAR, NO. 86. TEN JURORS ARE NOW IN BOX IN THAW CASE 1 THOROUGH PUBLICITY GIVEN CASE AT FIRBT TRIAL RENDERS IT DIFFICULT TO FIND UNBIAS ED TALESMEN. Evelyn's Eyes Accept Or Reject Talesmen HARRY THAW and his responsive little wife, Evelyn, while -In court have an Ingenious way of com municating. under the very gate of the Judge, lawyers and Jurors. Harry looks to Evelyn Inquiringly as to whether his counsel shall challenge peremptorily any of the talesmen, evi dently trusting Implicitly In her su perior knowledge of human nature. Twice was this illustrated In the se lection of talesmen today—once Eve lyn’s shrewdness getting rid of a Juror who probably would have proved a bad cue for Thaw, had he been al lowed to remaiu on the panel. The following Incident shows how this quick, telepathic communication between the eyes of the prisoner and hls young wife Is operated: (John Schr«ln«r, talesman, being questioned by Littleton.) Q —Do you feel that you could mor ally lay aside your opinion? A—Yes. Q—Would you consider the csss solely on the evidence? A—l think I could. Harry Thaw looked toward Evelyn and nodded hls head in the direction of the talesman—an apparent message for her to psee on Holbert’e desirabil ity as a Juror. A nod es approval from the prisoner's wife resulted in HoL bert being chosen. And again— (J. Holmes Butler, talesman, being, questioned by Littleton.) J, Holmes Butler proved particular ly satisfactory to the state after he declared he had known Mr. Jerome for many years. Q —Would that fact embarrass you? A—lt would not. Q—Do you know Mr. O'Reilly? Ar—l do; but that would not embar rass me, either. Again the prisoner signalled to hie wife. Evelyn studied the talesman carsfutty. She flnatty caught her hue band's eye and returned her answer. Thaw leaned over and spoke to O'Reilly. The talesman waa chat lenged peremptorily. Before he was allowed to go, he said he believed Stanford White had boon shot by Har ry Thaw. _ “And I believe he was gqllty, be cause of that fact," said Butler. NEW YORK. Jan. B.—The opening of today's session of the Thaw trial was considerably delayed and It was almost 11 o’clock before Justice Dowling ascended the bench. Mrs. Thaw had been In the court room half an hour, waiting for Harry Thaw to be brought Into court. They smiled a greeting at each other as Thaw walked briskly to hls seat. There were three accepted Juror* and four provisional Jurors in the box when court opened. The accepted Jurors were brought from the Hotel Knickerbocker In charge of Capt Lynch, of the court police squad, while a subordinate officer had charge of the four provisional Jurors. They were kept away from each other at the hotel last night, having their meals In separate private dining rooms. The box was filled with provisional Jurors at the beginning of last night’s session, but one was dismissed by consent and each side peremptorily challenged four. Clerf Penny called the names of the last 100 members of the first panel, (CvSilosH OB Rlxhth Page.) OKLAHOMA REPS. ARE INDORSERS OF TAFT OUTHRIE. Okla., Jan. B—William H. Taft was unanimously endorsed for president by the Republican members of the legislature In Joint caucus here last night.

IN jW MAKEB DEMAND FOR IMMENBE AMOUNT Os WORK ON THREE CENT LINES—HAARER COMES BACK WITH COUNTER DEMANDS D. U. R. officials have made a de mand upon the department of public works that the city replace founda tions under some of the three-cent lines and resurface between the tracks of other lines. The total cost of the work asked for would approximate $400,000. Commissioner Haarer is preparing a come back lu the shape of a demand that the street railway company do about twice as much work on its flve cent lines. Last season the D. U. R. spent $552,- 600.87 on track repair work and the city about $35,000. If both are com pelled to do the work demanded next season, the cost will be about double the 1907 figures. "I do not intend to do all the work asked for,” says Commissioner Haar er. "Os course, the amount of work to be done by the department of pub lic work, will depend upon the amount of money appropriated by the council and estimators. I have already includ ed a portion of the work they want in my estimates." TO ISSiSTIfNEW TRAFFICJCHEME D. U. R. IBBUEB ORDERS DE SIGNED TO RELIEVE CONGES TION DOWNTOWN. To assist Police Commissioner Smith In the enfbrcement of the new traffic regulations, the D. U. R. has issued two important orders. The Wood mere cars which have been stopping opposite the Soldiers’ monument to take on passengers bound west, will make their stop on the north side of Cadlllao-sq., where anew trolley sta tion will be established. This will per mit the use of the old stopping place as the channel for teams and automo biles. A second order abolishes the trolley station located for east bound Fourteenth and Sherman cars be i tween Peter Smith A Sons' and Pard* ridge A Blackwell’s, on Farmer-st., and anew trolley station on Gralot-ave. in front of the latter store. The new orders will go Into effect Monday afternoon. Clearing House Certificates Redeemed. Detroit’s banks have redeemed the last of the clearing-house certificates its tied during the closing months of the year. The issue In this city amounted to about $760,000. Money is flowing into the hanks now. savings deposits increasing especially. Eaetman Convicted of Forgery.

(From a Special Correspondent.) LANSING, Mich., Jan. B.—The con test over the initiative today centered on H. M. Campbell's motion to strike out all new features, but retain the present law. Before the fight started. 10 new petitions were filed for the proposition and only four against. Wnlbrldge opened in opposition, with the remark that this initiative plan would destroy the republic, and assert ed that thereunder the minority might rule, and the reason for so many urging Its adoption was because they hoped thereby to secure prohibition of the liquor traffic and woman suf frage. The speaker conceded that If the legislative branch were retained, it would be constitutional, but insisted that this proposition would wipe out that branch. Smith Makes Reply. J. M. C. Smith declared his belief that he would be faithless to duty, did he not support the Initiative. Tie said he considered it the height of folly to express such want of faith in the peo ple as manifested by the opposition. "In every crucial test.” h« asserted, "you can depend upon the people and this talk that they woukL pass laws to bring such awful disasters as have been described is baseless.’* Pratt, although opposing direct leg islation at large, favored this much because demanded and if not granted now, the people would soon rebel against legislative coercion and secure this reform without limitations. He further showed that this proposal makes it difficult to amend the consti tution, as the 20 per cent would call tor 92,000 petitioners whose names would fill 3.066 typewritten pages. The vote may not be reached before even ing—possibly not today. receiverTur the GREATJESTERN LONJiON, Jan. 8. —After a confer ence netween A. B. Stlckney, presi dent of the Chicago-Great Western railroad, and a committee of the note j holders. It has been decided to ap point a receiver for the property. Application for the creation of a receivership will be made in a cir cuit court in the United States with in a short time. This step is taken in order to main tain the status quo during the time necessary to prepare a first mortgage bond covering alt the indebtedness of the road and to obtain a vote of the stockholders on this measure.

Lizzie Rumuy, who formerly wat housekeeper for Mrs. Cornelia Welch, was brought into police headquarters by Detective Brooks shortly before i o’clock Wednesday afternoon and was immediately given a session In the sweatbox. The police are swinging around to the theory that Mrs. Welch was kick ed to death rather than pounded with a blunt Instrument, as at first suppos ed. The county physicians say that the wounds might easily have been caused by vicious kicks, and the po lice are working on this theory. They believe that the murder was probably the culmination of a drunken row, and that after killing his victim, the mur derer tied her hands and strapped her ankles, probably to create the Impre* elan that robbery had been the mo tive and thus aid in diverting suspi cion from the correct channel. l~| “There is a strong suspicion against this man,” said Chief .of Detectives McDonnell Wednesday noon, referring to Daniel Scott, the Welch murder suspect, arrested by Patrolman Will iam Ryan within two hours after the finding of the body. Further than this the chief declined to commit himself but it was evident that he felt pretty well satisfied with the work the department has accom plished thus far. What evidence has been secured tending to connect Bcott with the crime, if any, is being seal ously guarded until the time la “ripe** to spring it. .<Jj The central detective bureau has been a scene of great activity alnco Tuesday afternoon. Capt. McDonnell assigned practically his entire staff to the case and, in addition, Capt. Ba ker, of the central precinct, has hit precinct men, Horrigan and Wilson, out on the trail. All the blue coata, too, have been Instructed by their su perior officers to be on the lookout for any information that will tend to throw any light on the murder. Police Bearch for Goodalt. The police are anxious for an inter view with Albert Goodall, whose home Is in Sarnia, Ont„ and who waa arrest ed a few weeks ago on suspicion of having robbed a man In Mrs. Welch’s place. The man “touched" refused to prosecute and Goodall waa released. The police think Goodall might be able to give them some information that would aid them materially in their In vestigations. Local detectives were In communication with the* Sarnia au thorities by telephone during the morning with a view, presumably, to getting a line on Goodall. Coroner Parker swore in a Jury over the body of the murdered woman Wed nesday morning and will hold an In quest later. No time has been fixed as yet, however. Several women, formerly Inmates of Mrs. Welch's resort, have been brought in by the officers and questioned as to their knowledge of the woman and her admirers. One or two women are detained as witnesses, but their names have not been given out. While several suspects have been rounded up and "sweated" and num erous tips have been followed up, the police have nothing definite to give out yet In connection with the murder of Mrs. Cornelia Welch, the widow fbund dead in her rooms over No. 78 Congress-st. east, at 2:46 o'clock Tuesday afternoon. The police, however, are inclined to attach considerable importance to the arrest of Daniel Bcott, aged 32, a teamster, who was a frequent caller at Mrs. Welch’s apartments, and whom the police looked upon as the woman’s lover, though there was a great disparity in their ages. Mrs. Welch was about 63 years old and her hair was gray. Immediately after he was brought in by Patrolman William Ryan, late in the afternoon, Scott became the center of attraction for the detec tives. Officers literally swarmed around him. and an air of deep mys tery pervaded the building. Presently Assistant Prosecutor Grose arrived with Stenographer Bliss, and the sweating began. For this purpose Scott was taken In the little room where the Berflllion measurements are made, and so great was the cur iosity on the part of the detective* that the crowd overflowed Into the main office, making it impossible to close the door. If the examination developed any Information tending to clear up the mystery, the police are keeping it to themselves. Dead Body Is Found. Mrs. Welch's dead body waa fonaff lying on the floor of her bedroom, at the extreme rear of the second floor, by Patrolmen Derereaux and Dlage man, who were sent to the apartments 1 by UeuL Walpole, of the central sta tlon, on Information by William F. Grnssfleld, who condocta a second hand store at No. 74 Congree»-et. east Mr. Orossfleld wap attracted by the barking of Mrs. Welch’s doge, and as nothing had been seen of the woman oi» r«rtfc Pace).

MODEL LICENSE LEAGUE TO BE ORGANIZED HERE A meeting of Detroit saloonkeepers and hoteiinen will be held In the Ste. Claire hotel. Jan. 16, to organize u 1 branch of the Model License league. The retail liquor dealers are now be ing organized in this national body, the aim being to secure laws which will regulate the trade more strictly, 1 drive out men who keep disorderly places and by bettering the trade, in directly offset the prohibition move ment. The Model License league would i have the laws changed so that penal i ties for violation of liquor laws would be the suspension or forfeiture of 11- cense.

Formerly the board has had to ask for appropriations to buy the lots with out being able to conduct negotiations until the ntqpey was in hand.

"Every word of this I endor.se with very niut-li pleasure," said A. E. Ed monds, passenger 'itgenl of the Cana dian Pacific railway, as he handed to The Times a clipping from the Mon treal Witness, which reads: “On of the best New Year’s gifts that Canada can receive la the an nouncement thnt the Canadian PactAc railway is about to increase its capital by $28,320,1)00. At the head of the Canadian Pad Ac are not only many of the ablest men of the country, but, be cause of the vast enterprises they own and administer on the land and rivers, the lakes and the oceans, men excep tionally in a position to Judge the like ly course of future events. In such circumstances, the words pf Sir Thoe. Bhaughnessy, president of the com pany, speaking for the board of direc tors, are most inspiring. The directors •are convinced Canada will con tinue to progress, and that if there he any teinpornry setback resulting from financial conditions in other parts of Sleep During sleep the necessary Body-repairs- are carried on in the “human workshop.” Anything that prevents sound sleep at the proper time, e. after retiring at night—will, sooner or later, prevent “smooth running” during business hours. That “drowsy feeling” in the forenoon (when everyone from the manager to the office boy, should feel as elastic as a rubber ball) is often caused by want of sound, refreshing sleep the night before.

As the Wit ness has persistently reiterated and has shown abundantly by facta and figures, there never has been any rea son to fear any general or prolonged contraction of business in this conn try. and the action of the Canadian Pacific railway goes to show that by the springtime everything should be In full swing again. The railway, at least, deserves our thanks at this time for the expression of its well-founded confidence, a confidence that not only covers this country, but extends to Europe, where most of its securities outside of Canada are held. Indeed, Its conlidence that its securities will find an advantageous market at this time Is the most cheering financial feature of many months.’’ Want to be in Dry District.
