BOASBERG'S BREAK

Relieves Him from Duty on the Iustgert
Jnry-Ons OF the 'ConscisniIouh" cttt-
SenS thar Usually Sit In Judgment.
CHICAGO, Dec. l6.-A new element in
the Luetgert case involving the old
fight between union and non-union la
Dor was inIectel In the course OF to-
days proceedings in the Luetgert trial
and may cause the work OF securing a
jury TO be begun anew.
A. the opening OF the court counsel
for the defense challenged for cause
Henry B0asbers, the last man selected
20 hear the evidence, alleging that he
was intensely hostile to the defendant
Boasberg boasts of the fact that he Is
mot member of any union. He Is a
pressman IN the employ Of Job print
ing establishment which Is in trouble
with the unions and some time ago vas
set upon by men alleged to be union
workers. They threw red pepper in his
eyes and for time It was feared that
he would lose his sight Boasbers was
selected as the twelfth juror In the
Luetgert case at time when state and
defense had each but one peremptory
challenge remaining, He was accepted
by the defense with certain degree
OF reluctance.
An affidavit from Albert ], Mallory,
union pressman, formerly engaged by
the firm which employs Bonsberg, was
presented In which the Qnlant declares
that on no less than q dozen cases
Boasberg expressed himself as hcinS in
favor OF q rope for Luetgert.
Judge Gary decided TO institute an
investigation. 1t is feared that the dis
charge OF Boasberg as juror will turn
all things connected with the case topsy
turvy and that new beginning will
have to be made.
The charges against Juror BoasberS
made sensation In the court loom. Be-
sides the testimony OF Mallory several
other fellow workmen of Bphsberg's
were heard, and at the conclusion OF
their testimony recess was taken.
L.uetgert was furious as he left the
rourt room, and said that II ne had
neVer committed murder before he
would do It then, could he but lay
hands on Boasberg.
When the afternoon session was call
ed Judge Gary, calling Boasberg be-
fore him, gave him the alternative OF
resfgninE from the Jury or of being dis
charged. The juror refused to resign
and was Immediately discharged The
defense waived their claim to the right
to discharge the other members OF the
jury, thus removing the danger OF an
other long tie UP. A panel OF one hun
dred venlremen was ordered by the
court and the attorneys for the state
and the defense will tomorrow attempt
th secure another Juror

WASHINGTON, Dec. l6.-secretary
Gage appeared to-day before the COM
mittee on banking and currency OF the
house OF representatives to present bill
embodying his Views for revision Of the
currency, to explain and urge it's proyis-
ions, and to meet any objections raised
by the committee. The secretary was
accompanied by Judge o'Connell, solicI-

tary's bill were handed TO members Of
the committee and were scanned with
great interest After being introduced
TO the various gentlemen of the commit
tee, Mr.. Gage began HE statement,
speaking in an easy, conversational
manner.
He said in opening: "The objects

offered by me are four IN number: First,
to commit the country more thoroughly
TO the gold standard; remove, so far as
possible, doubts and fears on that point
and thus strengthen the credit Of the
United States both nj home and abroad.
Second, to strengthen the treasury in

which are included greenbacks, treasury
notes and the incidental obligation to
maintain on parity, through inter-
changeabllllty with gold 30 far as may
be necessary, the present large volume

to contract the volume OF circulation in

Fourth, to take an initial step toward

conditional deposit Of publc bonds as
security therefor. If we prosper as n
people the revenue Of the government
ought to be somewhat IN advance OF its
expenditures and the pubic debt Of the
United States gradually reduced and
finally extnEilshed. Looking at the
question widely from my bes, point OF
knowledge and experience feel that II
these could be secured tho condition Of

silence fell upon the vast crowd.

well. / bid you all good bye" He
waived hIsmanacled hands in the air and
