and Newspaper Men Are the Attraction.

Sdn franclsCo, aug. 3-AtteT an un-
successful effort 10 complete the jury
for the murder trial Of Theodore Dur
rant to-day. the district attorney
brought up the matter of Brown, whose
acceptance as a juror has occisioned
so much criticism. In spite Of the oh
jections Of counsel for the defense.
the district attorney was permitted
TO question Brown regarding his quail
fications to serve as Juror. Brown
stated that he had been a Juror in the
United States court and had served at
the trial OF NJ. d. Howell. charged with
counterfeiting. At that trial Brown
said the jury stood seven to five for
conviction on the first ballot. and, al
though the jury was out nine days,
subsequent balloting brought them no
nearer a verdict. Brown admitted that
he had been summoned before the fed
eral grand jury. which was investlgat-
ing the charges OF bribery in connec-
tion with the Howell disagreement. but
he knew nothing Of any attempted
bribery.
The court at this point allowed
Brown to make the personal statement
which he has been carrying about with
him ever since his acceptance as a ju-
ror has been called in question. Brown
stated that reporters from three morn
the papers had questioned him about.
| the Howell verdict. To them he had
made the same statement as 10 the
court. He said no reporter had asked
him anything about the Durrant case
nor had he made any remark about st
to anyone since he had been sworn as
juror He pronounced the alleged
interviews with him wholly untrue.
The district attorney asked permls,

TRIUMPH FOR BIKE
THE WHEEL CURES A BAD CASE
OF PARALYSIS.
Strange Experience of q Grand Army
Man-Finally the Exercise Proved
Wonderfully Bene eficial.

Brooklyn, Aug 9.-One Of the latest
triumphs of the bicycle Is the cure Of
paralysis. G.. a. Boettner was afflicted
with paralysis in the legs, having sus-
tanned a stroke four years ago. 1t was
after he had undergone his sufferlngs
for many months and the physicians
whom he consulted had failed to re-
lieve him that some of his G.. A. r.
comrades who were devoted to the BIZ
cycle urged him to learn to ride. He
laughed at the idea Of a man who
could scarcely stand alone attempting
20 sit a wheel, but they persisted that
IL would save his life.
Impressed with this he consulted a
New York nerve specialist, who told
him to go ahead under specific direc-
tions. Mr.. Boettner got hold of a sl5
boys wheel on which TO make the trial
He was lifted on the wheel. held on
his seat and pushed along by friends,
But he found he could not follow the
pedals with his feet This difficulty
was met by strapping his feet TO the
pedals. For six weeks he was wheeled
around Prospect park for an hour or
more each morning by friends with
his feet tied to the pedals.
Il began to feel better after three
days" said Mr.. Boettner. AT the END
of six weeks the cold water and prickly
sensation had almost entirely left
finally became able TO ride alone and
got well speedily"

they ground out a warm pace from the
start, Murphy. Cooper and Brown fol-

killed OF almost at the start. Pretty
soon Doc Brown gave up and before
the last lap was fully under way. Bald
was hanging tight to the wake OF the
triplet and was leaving his competitors

past the pacemakers and finished alone,

|APAN'S BIG BLUFF
There Is a Possible Show for Her to
Get Whipped.
WHAT SHE CLAIMS AS RIGHT
How the United States Came So
Near to a Clash With the Japs-
What May Happen In Case
of a Japan-Russia War.

Washington. Aug Ain the event
Of war between Russia and Japan the
United States may find itself an un-
willing party unless Japan retreats
from a position which II assumed to-
ward the United States during the
progress of the last war with China.
1t is not generally known that just be-
fore the declaration Of the armisticc.
which preceded the signing OF the
treaty of peace. an issue had been
drawn up between the United States
and Japan that threatened to lead To
actual hosiilities between the two
countries and that a hostile clash was
perhaps averted only by the conclusion
of the Chinese war.
This issue arose through the asser-
tion by the japanese authorities of
the right TO search American vessels,
They insisted that they had the right
to board an American vessel and ii
they chose to take from her any Chi
nese or airy enemy they might find.
even though they were but passengers.
Our minister denied the existence of
any such rights on the part Of COM
batant and a hot correspondence en-
sued. The japanese insisted on their
right. and even when Mr.. Dun remind
ed them that the United States had
gone to war with Great Britain on
just this issue they refused to abate
their pretensions one iota. though the
minister intimated that the first as.
sertion Of such right would be re-
garded by the United States as an un-
friendly act. and therefore likely to
lead to war. The matter progressed
to that perilous state that. when Ad-
miral Carpenter was about 10 escort
an American steamship out OF Jap
anese port TO prevent her detention 10y
the Japanese, the latter 1t is said, gave
orders to the shore batteries at the
mouth of the harbor TO fire upon the
American naval vessels IL they at
tempted TO do so.
This fact came out after the conclu
sion Of the armistice. which fortunate.
ly occurred at Just that point in the
negotiations. thereby preventing an in
cident that would certainly have re.
suited In war. but the significant point
is that the japanese have steadily
clung TO the same contention. proms
ing serious trouble In the event of an
other war In the East.
