The.letenise had not even shown its hand. The case had scarcely passed the pre liminary stage when the interruption came.

Only 100 talesmen were called :when prep arations for selecting the first jury were made, and many of those had not -been ex t amined when the panel was completed. - This time, however, in view of the added publicity given the case. It was thought that more trouble would be experienced in filling the jury box, and a special panel of 200 talesmen had been summoned. During the past week Miss Patterson, weakened by the strain from the first trial, has been ill in her cell in the Tombs prison, but she had recovered sufficiently to permit her to g, to court today. The name of W. R. Hearst is on the panel of 200 special jurors from which the Patter son jury is to be chosen. Miss Patterson' was very pale when she took a seat beside her, father in court to day.

' Special Dispatch to The Eveniag Star. NEW YORK, December 5.-".Be of good cheer. I know you will come out of this trouble all right. I pray for you constant ly. MOTHER." Weeping from joy and clasping this ten der missive to her breast, Nan Patterson, on the morning of her second trial, poured out her undying gratitude to the sender. She received the telegram simultaneously with a visit to the city prison of her de voted father, who ever since the tragedy has been his daughter's ardent comforter. To add to the young woman's joy came more cheerful news that her mother was now on the road to recovery and in all probability will be able to sit at the Christ mas dinner table, at which time the young actress declared she would be a free wo man, firmly ensconced in the bosom of her family, in their pretty home in the capital. I "I will be out of this horrible place in time to eat my Christmas dii.ner," said the girl after her spasm of tears and joy had subsided. "I am more confident today of an acquit tal than I ever was before. You can say for me that I will be breathing the puj-e air of heaven and home with my family, at Christmastide." Patting her affectionately on the shoulder, as if to emphasise her optimistic prediction, her gray-haired old father sat beside her. "Yes, I have just told Nan some news that has cheered her up greatly," he added. "Her dear mother, who has been seriously Ill, is now practically out of danger, and she will be up and around soon. Truly It will be a great event when my poor. Inno cent daughter and her devoted mother are again in our Washington home.'" After saying this, Patterson threw his arms lovingly around the neck of his daughter. EXTEA PAY NOT ALLOWED. Naval Offieer's Claint Diami..iel by the -Supreme Court. Justice Brown today delivered the opinion of the Supreme Court of the United States in the case of C. Mi. Thomas es. the United States, Involving the rights of naval offeers in respect to extra pay under the navy personnel acts of 1900 aind 1901. The opin ion is In favor of the government. The claim presented was that naval ofi cers who go to sea should be allowed 10 per cent in excess of their liaval pay because the increased allowance Is mnade to- army offcers who are assigned to duty at sea or at a foreign port, the purpose of the law being the assimilation of the salaries of army and navy officers. Mfr. Theonas Is a captain in the navy and smade claim for the extra pay boeau of sevlnt lathe Philip pines. in China and at sea. Meat of his claims were allowed by the court et amn hut this decision was reversed, Jugthse Brown saying: "It is not for a moment to be supposed that Congress eonta lted any such sweeping innovation.

Many applications for positions in the line of the inaugural parade have been re eelved, but will be held until the formation of the minor committees, when they will be turned over to the proper chairmen. All applications of military bodis wil be re ferred to Gen. George H. Har:ies, nomi nated for chairman of the committee on military, while the applications of the civic organizations will be referrgd to Mr.. B. IL Warner, provided the gentleman is elected chairman of the civic organizations com mittee. Inaugural problems already *are becoming apparent, and many important matters must ,e. attended to at once. First among these is the place for holiing the- inaugural ball. It is understood that at the initial meeting of the executive committee, sched uled for Wednesday at 11 o'clock. the chair man of the committee on legislation will be instructed to immediately prepare a bill providing for the use of the pension -office. and that that bill will be submitted to Con gress forthwith. Notwithstanding that it is the particular province of the legislative committee to at tend to these matters, it was stated today that every member of the executive com mittee who could spare the time would use all influence to have the bill considered and passed without delay. There seems to be no fear that the use of the pension office will not be granted, but the executive com mittee members are anxious to have the question settled. Time for Ceremonies. A second problem, and one probably of as much importance as the first, is the time for holding the inaugural ceremonies. General Wilson today received a letter from Mr. Charles C. Lancaster, president of the Northwest Suburban Citizens' Association, inolosing a resolution passed by that asso ciation suggesting. that the ceremonies be spread over three days, Saturday. March 4, Monday, March 6. and Tuesday, March 7. The idea was suggested because of the fact that if the inaugural ball is held on Saturday evening the festivities must nec essarily cease by midnight, as no one con nected with the management of the inau gural wculd think of allowing the dancing and gayety to continue into Sunday morn ing. Thus if the ball is held Saturday, it would be of short duration, and a muen smaller attendance would be consequent. As the attendance is the only medium of re paying contributors for the money advanc ed for inaugural expenses, it is safe to as sume that the committee will do nothing 'which will diminish the attendance. For this reason the scheme of having the induction into ofilee on Saturday, the ball Monday and the concerts following imme diately, will receive the most -careful 'and seriots consideration of the members of the executive committee. An argument in fi vor of this plan has been made, in the statement that the flowers, which will form the principal decoration. will fade and wilt if the ceremonies are held Saturday. This phase of the situation also will be consid ered probably at the first meeting of the executive committee, and an announcement in this regard may be made next Wednes day. Glee Club Coming. It has been arranged that the Columbus (Ohio) Glee Club, of about 170 members, will participate in the ceremonies Incident to the inauguration of President Roosevelt on the 4th of March next. The fame of the organization is national, the club having participated in the inauguration of every republican President since Grant was inau gurated in 1872. D. K. Watson, former attorney general of Ohio, today introduced to President Roosevelt George D. Freeman and George B. Downs, a committee of the glee club, which is In Washington making arrange ments for the members of the organiza tion here at inauguration time. The Presi dent gladly accepted the proffer of the club. After the call on the President the committee visited Gen. John M. Wilson, chairman of the inaugural executive com mittee, and completed the arrangements for the club's participation in the ceremo nies. The following applications have been re ceived at headquarters for positions in the line of march: Company H. 2d Regiment, New York National Guard, 100 men, Cap tain Darwin E. Vunk; 23d Regimnent Infan try, New York National Guard, 1,000 men, William A. Stokes, colonel; Madison Square Republican Club, 109 men. Herbert Par sons, in charge, and the St. Paul Cadets. a colored organization of boys in the District of Columbia, with about 1,000 members. IaminTOWN EXPOSETION.

SIX-DAY BICYCLE RACE. ;tart Marked by Phenomenal sprinting -Two Rivals Collide. NEW YORK, December 5.-The nrst serious accident in the six-day bicycle race which began at Madison Square Garden. )ccurred early today, when Patrick Kee ian, the Lowell, Mass., boy, was so badly hurt that he was forced to leave the track. Whether his injuries will retire him per mEnently from the race could not be de termined until later In the day. While the men were engaging in a heart br-eaking sprinting match'Rockowits, while rounding the 4th avenue embankment, sad fonly went down. Agras of the Austral Lan-American team, who was following close behind, went crashing into Rocko wits. Just as both riders started to slide fown the embankment Keegan came around at a terrine burst of speed. His wheel struck Rockowits and Agras with terrible force. Keegan struck on his face on the board track, and with the two other riders rolled down in a heap on the edge of the oval. Keegan was a pitia ble sight. His face was covered with bicod, which flowed from his nose and Up and a cut across his head. After a hurried examination the physicians said that his nose probably had been broken. One team had been practically ridden out of the race before the Keegan accident happened. Numerous spUls during the arly morning hours had made no change In the position of the riders who started tway on the long journey at midnight. A long, hard sprint led by the French team, which continued for nearly an hiur, however, ended in the King-Rossino team losing three laps. As the bunch of riders ;assed him for the third time King steered lcwn from the track to the enclosure, and with the remark "That's enough for me." leclared that he was out of the race for good. The long sprint added mnany miles to the icore, and at the end of the hour the fig ares were within one lap of the record listance for the time. After that time ;be pace slowed considerably, however, and :he riders were several miles behind the record at 8 o'clock.
