IZB TOAW PRESENT
Jurymen Thus Far Selected Are-Con-sldered
to Be Above the Average
ia the Amount of Intelli
gence Toey Possess.
New York, Jan 25. There were
Ave men ia: the jury box to-day when
the trial of Harry K. Thaw for the
killing of Stanford' White was re
lumed before Justice Fitzgerald.
Mrs William T,haw, mother of the de
fendant, waa present to-day at the
opening of the morning session, hav
ing fully recovered from the fatigue
and indisposition which kept her in
doors yesterday. . She .was . .accom
panied by her daughter, Mrs George
L. Carnegie, the two having been
preceded some minutes .'.by Mrs
Evelyn Nesblt Thaw and her constant
companion. May McKenzle. The
prisoner's wife still wore the plain
dark blue suit, trimmed only with
velvet cuffs ana collar of the same
material, that she has appeared In
on every day of the trial. To-day
she had discarded her white veil for
one of blue chiffon. The effect was
to bring out more distinctly the tea
tures of her face, which appeared un
usually pale. The elder Mrs Thaw
was In conventional - black. The
Countess of ' Yarmouth' did not at
tend the trial to-day owing to a
slight cold she has contracted. Ed
ward and Josiah Thaw were early In
their seats, the only family Absentee
other than the countess being George
L. Carnegie,, the prisoner's brother
, In-law,'- " 1 ' ' '
The five jurors selected during the
i first-two days of the trial appear to
be men well above the average, in
intellect. All seem to be in prosper
ous circumstances. Two of the five
are apparently: Just above 50 years
old. George Pfaff. a hardware deal
er, Is the youngest, probably not more
than S 4 years old. Charles H. Fecke,
the shipping agent. Is possibly 40,
and Arthur S. Campbell,' a superin
tendent .of telephone construction,' is
not more than two years older. .The
other jurors are Demlhg B. Smith, a
retired manufacturer, the foreman,
and Henry Charney, manager of a
piano concern. The entire special
jury panel is made np of prosperous
and substantial looking cltliens."
William Rand, the former assist
ant district attorney, who prosecuted
Kan Patterson at both her trials, was
In court to-day and attracted some at
tention. His presence had nothing
to do with the Thaw case, however.
He represented a client who was
called to the bar to answer to three
Indictments of perjury. The cere
mony was brief and the work of se
curing the remaining seven jurymen
to try the slayer of Stanford White
was taken up.

ens of the presence of the prisoner's
wife In the seat next to her son.
Whether the two had met outside
the court room before entering was
not generally knows. The former
chorus girl assisted her mother-in-law,
however. In removing her wraps.
Mrs William Thaw just before the
trial was opened was handed a tele
gram In a night message envelope by
her son Joelnh. She opened and read
the typewritten message, which ap
parently had to do with business af
fairs, probably In Pittsburg.
The family's attention was dis
tracted by the arraignment of Mr
Rand's client charged with perjury,
when Harry Thaw entered the court
room from the door leading to the
prisoner's pen. Thaw noticed this
and as he passed his mother's chair
he reached over with his right hand
and grasped both of hers which were
clasped about a small gilt leaved
book la her lap.
She looked ep oslckly and an
swered her son's smile. Mrs Harry
Thaw gave her prisoner husband an
earnest look of greeting and during
the examination of the irwt talesman
of the da she assumed her custom

Hartrldge, the leading counsel for the
defendant.
The first taslesman proved to be
Walter M. Jackson, a real ' estate
broker, who was excused on a sus
tained challenge by the people when
he declared that he entertained cer
tain prejudices which might not make
him an Impartial Juror. --
Counsel for ThaW - were Informed
to-day that Henry C, Harney, the
fifth juror accepted to try Thaw, has
acted as a Juror in the case in which
Edward Pekarz was convicted of
murder in the first degree. Pekars's
plea was insanity and several alien
ists testified that he was mentally
unbalanced when he murdered a wo
man from whom he rented rooms.
The verdict was guilty and Pekarz
was sent to Sing Sing, where his sen
tence was commuted to life impris
onment. It Is believed that Thaw's
counsel were unaware of these facts
when they accepted Mr Harney yes
terday. . . -
When court adjourned nt one
o'clock tbls afternoon for a recess,
one more juror, the sixth.. Jind been
secured, Harold It. Fnlre, thirty years
of age and a printer by trade.

when counsel and spectators and even
the defendant' himself ' were drowsy
from the monotony of the proceedings
there came a sudden change in the tide
and within the, last. three-quarters of
an hour three new jurors were accepted
and sworn in. Thus Ave jurors have
been accepted out of fifty talesmen
examined, leaving seven men vet to be
chosen' ,,
Thaw, with head thrown -back and
shoulders squared, strode buoyantly
Into court. The prisoner's spirits had
risen to a high pitch, and bis demeanor
was In sharp contrast to that of the
sad faced wife who gazed at him
through red and tired eyes and gave
no sign of greeting, ' '
Before seating himself ' Thaw lifted
bis eyes to Judge Fitzgerald and gazed
steadily at htm for ah , appreciable

ISSUE IS BEFOGGED
' Hartford, Jan 25. Governor Wood
ruff to-day gave out the following in
terview at the Capitol concerning the
naming of county commissioners:
"I did not anticipate that any mis
understanding could arise when I
wrote the recommendation in the
governor's message urging a change
In the law, . in that county commis
sioners could be appointed by the
governor; but the main issue has been
befogged by those who care more for
the politics in thepremises than they
do for public .policy, -
"Let me assure , any such gentle
man In or out of the general assem
bly that I don't care one whit for
more patronage. I do not personally
care to make the appointments of
county commissioners, for I have no
political debts to pay and no personal
friends to favor. I would not object
at all If the general assembly should
deem it wise next Tuesday , to take
from the table any resolutions there
to appoint county commissioners and
pass them.
"But I am Armly of the opinion
that the law should be changed to
take effect two years hence to give
the governor the appointment of the
county commissioners. It Is not a
selfish ' nor a personal recommenda
tion nor one urged by me for in
creased patronage. I thorpughly ap
preciate the courtesy shown me In
both branches of the general assem
ly In postponing action last Wednes
day." . .
MANY PEOPLE SICK.
Inspector Callahan. However, Says
, City is Pretty Free from Disease.
Although many are flying and the
number on the sick list Is large, San
itary Inspector Cnllnhnn says the
city never had fewer cases of con
tageous disease, there being but one
of diphtheria and. two or three of
scarlet fever. This Is creditable to
the health authorities, and perhaps it
might not be amiss to Include the de
partment of public works, for It is
admitted that the close luspectlon of
the water sheds has contributed In
no small way to warding off scarlet
fever in this town. ' in"-different
places all over "the county scarlet fer
er Is making heavy inroads on chil
dren, and all attribute the cause to
the water supply. There I a big epi
demic atScranton, Pa, und it appears
that the germs entered the homes of
the victims In the water used, for do
mestic purposes. The orlglual source
of the trouble Is laid at tbe door of
tramps, who made a practice of do
ing their washing In the reservoir,
such a thing would be almost impos
sible here, owing to. regular--tours
made along the banks of the reservoir
by men- paid to look out for just
such sources ' of contamination ' as
are said to have worked such hard
ships in Scranton and other- cities.

GETS REPORT
Ioferstate Commerce Commis
sion Has Something to Say
About Coal Carriers
WHAT THEY SUGGEST
Carriers Should Be Requested to
to Make Public the System Under
WhiehCar Distribulioa is
Carried On. -
Washington, Jan 25. Tbe inter
state commerce commission to-day
transmitted to congress its first re
port on Its investigation on discrim
inations and monopolies under the
Joint resolution of congress of March
7, 1906, known as the Tillman-Gillespie
resolution. The report deals
with bituminous coal carried east of
the Ohio river, and In territory
bounded on tbe south by tbe Norfolk
and Western railway, on the north
by Canada and on the east by the
Atlantic seaboard The roads in
volved are the Norfolk and Western,
Chesapeake and Ohio, Baltimore and
Ohio, Pennsylvania, Buffalo, Roches
ter and Pittsburg, Beech Creek divis
ion of the New York Central and
Hudson River; Pittsburg, Shawmut
and Northern, Buffalo and Susque
hanna, and West Virginia Central
and Pittsburg ' (now the Western
Maryland).
The report says that all of the
above companies own, directly or by
stock ownership In other companies,
large Interests In coal lands.
The report is practically a sum
mary of the information gleaned as
a result of the Investigation thus
framed together with the presenta
tion of facts pertinent to the general
inquiry. The report concludes with
these recommendations for legisla
tive action:
"First, that every common carrier
engaged in interstate transportation
of coal be required to make public
the system of car distribution In ef
fect upon Its railway and tbe several
divisions thereof, showing how tbe
equipment for coal service Is di
vided between the several divisions
of Its road and how the same In times
when the supply of equipment does
not equal the . demand Is divided
among the several mining operations
along such a road and that the car
rier further be required to publish
at stated periods and at each divis
ional headquarters upon Us line of
road the system of car distribution In
effect and the actual distribution
made to each mining operation under
such system.
"Second, that where the capacity
of the mines Is the basis for the dis
tribution of equipment, a fair. Just
and equitable ratiug of the mines lie
required, and that provision be made
for the representation of owners of
the mine at the rating thereof.
"That, that after a reasonable time
carriers engaged In Interstate com
merce he prohibited from using in
dividual' or "private cars for the
handling of coal traffic.
"Fourth, that carriers engaged In
Interstate commerce bef orbldden af
ter reasonable time to own or have
Interest, directly or Indirectly. In nny
operated coal properties, except such
as are exclusively for their own fuel
supply, and that ownership either di
rectly or Indirectly, by officers or em
ployes of cofmon carriers of any coal
properties or sny of the stock of coal
companies along the line of road by
which they are employed, be forbid
den." A summary Is given showing, as
developed during the Investigat-on.
the Interest of railroad officers In cor
porations or companies operating com I
mine or engaged In coal traffic. The
details of this Information largoly
have already been published.
The report says that "a serious and
dangerous condition' has been creat
ed along the lines of the Pennsylva
nia railroad by rason of these prac
tices which "no one appearing before
the commission attempted to Justify."
Notice Is taken of an executive or.
der Issued by the president of the
Pennsylvania Railroad company on
July 6 but requiring all officers snd
employes to divest themselves of any
Interest, direct or indirect. In stock
of any coal companies or firms.
As to the Baltimore A Ohio rail
road tbe report says:
"The evidence shows that ten offi
cials of this company own aa aggre
gate of 7.178 shares of stock of coal
companies, par value $100. and that
theee companies have their plants on
sad are doing business along the
lines of the Baltimore a Ohio."

tract la the form of trust or con
spiracy In restraint of trade the re
port touches upon the various rail
way and freight associations la the
territory covered by the investigation
aad says It was apparent to the com
mission that "the associations were

ZMBEL CASE
Judge Peck of Bristol Is Hear
ing the Case This
Afternoon,
WHY ICE CO OBJECTS
In the district court tbls afternoon
Judge Epaphroditus reck of Bristol
beard a motion to vacate the injunc
tion granted a few . days ago by
Judge Cowell to the City Ice com
pany and against oJseph and Adolph
Zweibel, proprietors of ; Belleview
from cutting ice in the water of Lake
wood. On account of tbe nature . of
the cause and that cutting ice seems
a doubtful subject these days. It was
understood that the temporary ' in
junction should either be disposed of
in a few days or made permanent.
Hunt and Pierce appeared for the City
Ice company and ; Russell for the
Zwelbels.
It seems that the defendants have
been accustomed to cut ice for their
own uses on Lakewood for years nud
tbe City Ice company did not object,
but when tbe defendants built large
ice bouses and prepared to fill them
up with ice, thereby giving every In
dication of becoming a business com
petition tbe City lee company had
the Injunction Issued.
It was agreed for the purposes of
this hearing that the defendants bold
tbe title to tbe land under the water,
near their premises, by tbe deed giv
en by Daniel Brown to James h. and
William II. Scovlll in 184!) and pur
chased by the defendants. It was also
agreed that tbe plaintiffs hold the title
for the present owners of tbe pond,
tbe Great Brook Manufacturing com
pany, to cut and harvest lee from the
pond.
The questioif was one of law more
than fact, and the lawyers had not
got warm to their subject at press
hour. Charles B. Everett, president
and treasurer of the City Ice company
was then on the stand.
