New Jersey and New Englnnd organ
ized tho Northeastern Motal Dealers
association and decided to call on Unit
ed States Attorney General Bonaparte
to bring suit to prevent tho formation
of a combination of copper mining com
panies, alleged to be now forming.
In a lotter to the attorney general,
which was not given out, it was said it
called attention to the high lirieo of cop
per and that it was proposed by the
so-called trust to maintain the prico or
increaso it.
Artificial Scarcity
The letter asserts that the foreign
copper combination has entered into an
agreement with tho motal selling agen"
cies in this country not to compete with
American concerns, that division of the
territory in Europe having been made
botweon them. It is alleged that the
trust has stored large supplies of cop
per both in this country and in Europe,
causing an artificial scarcity of the
metal.
President James Norton, speaking of
tho complaints made by the association,
said that sovonty-fivc .members in tho
association represented buyers' of rrom
20,000,000 to 30,000,000 pounds of cop

Buys More Silver
By Associated Press.
''WASHINGTON, January 2.). The
director of the mint today purchased
100,000 ounces of silver to bo dehvorcd
at Denver, at 68.91 cents a fine ounco.
Opposition to Appropriation
WASHINGTON, January 25. In the
house today there was a general debate
on the report of the committee on ag
riculture appropriating 238,000 for the
purchase and testing of new, rare and
uncommon seeds, bulbs, trees, shrubs
and vines, omitting the usual appropri
ation for the purchase of ordinary flow
er and garden seed for .free distribution.
Chandler of Mississippi charged that
the item in the preseut bill was the
work of a lobby composed of the seeds
men of the country and of effective
newspaper work. Said he could not go
back and look bis "dear old farmer
frieii.Js" in the face after tho increaso
of the salaries of congressmen if free
seeds were not to be iind. Mr. Scott
of Kansas in defending tho proposed
plan of distribution said that ns the
department of agriculture had suggest
ed the amendment he thought that the
government with the same propriety
might give lead poncils to people and
jack knives to boys as to give free
seeds. He said the press, the agricul
tural colleges and very largely the farm
journals were opposed to congressional
distribution of seeds.
Alcohol Bill Effective In 1008
The compromise denatured alcohol "bill
agreed to by the house committee on
ways and means carries provisions that
tho measuro sjinll not became effective
until after September 1, 1908. Tho
date was fixod at tho request of J. W.
Yerkes, commissioner of internnl rev
enue, for the purpose of granting him
adequate time to prepare regulations for
tho manufacture of alcohol by small
manufacturers not connected with dis
tilleries.
The present law removing all intornal
revenue tax from denatured alcohol
permits only tho distilleries and fac
tories having largo denaturing ware
houses to engage in the manufacture
of alcohol designated for fuel and light
ing and the bill just reported by tho
house committee is designed to pormit
the farmers to convert their product
into alcohol.
Pension Bills Railroaded
Tho houso today passed a number of
bills of a local nature, including 380
privato pension billsr which were passed
in one hour and fiftcon minutes. Tho
agricultural appropriation bill was then
taken up and while it wns under con

NEW YORK, January 5. Fifty-one
talesmen were today examined in rapid
order in tho effort to coniplote tho jury
which is to try Harry Thaw for the
murder of Stanford Whito, and at the
ond of the day's session two names
wore added to tho jury, making seven
in all. Oue hundred and oue talesmen
have been oxamiucd. That there is
increasing difficulty in finding men will
ing and competeut to sorvo was evi
denced by tho fact that on the first
day two jurors were sworn in from
nineteen talesmen, one being oxcused
subsequently by the court. On the sec
ond day three were ecured from thirty
ono talesmen, while today it required
the winnowing of more than fifty to
securo two.
The new jurors are Harold R. Fairo,
printer and publisher; Malcolm S. Fra
zer, dealer in underwoar.
Many Have Prejudice
The panel impresses the followers of
the case more und more favorably. Ex
cuses by talesmen to avoid duty in the
case are growing more varied each day.
Man after man declared that his opin
ion as to the guilt or innocence is so
firmly fixed as to admit no change,
orome tried to convince the talesmen
that newspaper stories aro not the same
as sworn testimony, but his efforts were
generally unsuccessful and the chal
lenges for causo were sustained by the
court. Only three talesmen wero per
emptorily rejected.
Getting Used to It
lfarrv Thaw seemed much more ac
customed to his surroundings today and
for the first time gazed interestedly at
the crowd in the courtroom, which was
limited, however, to talesmen and news
paper writers.
Thaw seemed especially interested iu
the reporters' tables and tried once to
read the large typo, account of bis trial
in a paper one of the writers was scan
ning. Ho seemed to have much better
j color today, although his wife was
pater.
Bits of color were thrown into the
tedious proceedings because a talesman
named Ketcham who said that he was
connected with an electrical company
supply house and supplemented tiis
with tho declaration that while he was
pot opposed to capital punishment in
murder cases, ho was opposed to tho
uso- of electricity in that connection.
Glad He Didn't Know Whito
Ketcham was asked if he knew Stan
ford White, and replied: "I am glad
to say that I did not."
Anothor feature was the number of
talesmen who had known Stanford
White. At one time three men in suc
cession asserted that they had been so
well acquainted with the architect as
to mako them unsuitable jurors. Thero
will bo no session tomorrow tho court
adjourning until Monday morning. In
the meantime tho seven jurors will bo
in the custody of tho bailiffs.

KINGSTON, January 24 (delayed).
The lack of co-operation on the part of
the government is greatly hampering
tho work of extending relief, providing
shelter, pulling down unsafe walls, for
which Governor Swettenham is severe
ly condemned. The Daily Telegraph to
days sayi:
"His Excellency is still careening
about the city, poking his noso into
various concerns and attending to petty
details which his subordinate agents
ought to attend to. The result is that
when prominent officials call to consult
him they cannot find the governor.
There is a total absence of any deliber
ate organized movement. This is a
state of affairs on which the British
and colonial government cannot con
gratulate themselves. The enforcement
of tho regulations forbidding tho re
erection of buildings, even wooden
wooden shacks, without the city sur
veyor's approval has begun.
"Tho general opinion is that the gov
ernor has completely lost his head and
is utterly unequal to the task of meet
ing tho emergency.
"Eugene Magnus, manager of the
Crosswell store, which tho governor said
the Americans had cleaned, denies the
governor's version of the nffair.
"He said that the sailors merely as
sisted in getting put the safe, during
which Swettenham arrived on the spot
and angrily protested because the sail
ors were Americans. The report that
the sailors were guilty of looting is au
thoritatively denied."
SOCIALISTS III
GERMANY LOSE
By Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, January 25. After
an oxtended conference at the White
House tonight it was decided to reject
the bid of Oliver & Bangs, who pro
posed to completo the construction of
the Panama canal for 6.75 per cent of
the total estimated cost, in so far as
Anson B. Bangs of Now York is con
cerned. While no official statement was
given out, it can be Mated that if Wil
liam J. Oliver of Knoxville, Tenn., can
enter into a satisfactory arrangoment
with some other contractor who is finan
cially responsible, ho will be given the
contract.
Tho fact that tho McArthur-Gillespie
company of New York, whose bid was
12.5 per cent, was represented at the
conference, leads many of the inter
ested parties to believe that a com
bination may bo formed between that
firm and Mr. Oliver. It is known that
the McArthur-Gillespie concern has con
vinced the president and Secretary Taft
of its financial responsibility and after
a thorough investigation the canal com
mission have expressed the satisfaction
that Mr. Oliver is able to carry out hU
end of the agreement.
Bangs Not Satisfactory
There would have been no question
as to awarding the contract had tho
credentials presented by Bangs been as
satisfactory as those of Oliver. The
question of rejecting all bids was dis
cussed at a cabinet meeting today and
this decision had ben-practically agreed
upon before tho conference tonight. If
arrangements are satisfactory to Oliver
he will probably bo given several days
in which to arrange an agreement with
tho McArthur-Gillespie company or
some other contractor who cau deposit
the required cash security. If Oliver
refuses to consider the contract after
tho rejection of Bangs, tho commission
will call for new bids.
Related to Gaynor
Bangs was contractor for ithe Soo
canal locks. He is president of the
Federal Construction company of New
York, which is capitalized at $2,000,000.
Bangs is a brother in law of John Gay
nor of Greene & Gaynor, who were im
plicated with Captain Carter in tho
Savannah harbor engineering frauds.
This fact, it is said, had no influence
with the canal commiSBton in relieving
Bangs as joint contractor.
Will Make Proposition
It was admitted by Oliver's repre
sentatives tonight that he will submit
a proposition to the McArthur-Gillespie
company to join in a proposal in place
of the old b'tls. It is said that a com
promise arrangement will bo consid
ered by the canal commission provided
Oliver succeeds in making arrangements
with McArthur and Gijlespie, to pay 9
per cent of the cost for construction.
