In his studies young Roosevelt was

expresses it-"as peculiarly earnest

The concert at the German House last
night cannot be spoken of in neutral terms.
Although Ossip Gabrilowitsch was the CEN
II a, figure on the programme, this fact by
no means cast into shadow the excellent
work of the Amphion Club. The tone of
this body of singers is delightful, and the
work on the whole has smoothness, finish
and unity. A suspicion of passiveness,
lack of esprit de corps, marred the first
three numbers sung. In the last three,
however, the club sang with increasing
dignity. force and spirit. 1.-The Death of

most naively. The numbers the pro-

all the smaller forms of the extremists of
the modern school, first and last. Highly
subjective and individual as ii seems, the

SHELBYVILLE, Ind, Jan. 30.-In the
George NJ. Ray trial for conspiracy to de-
fraud the county, the entire day was spent
in securing a jury and at adjournment, to-
night, the panel was not full. About fifty
of the special venire out OF the seventy-fve
drawn have been in the jury box. The
State has used two of it's ten and the de-
Tense five peremptory challenges.
Court opened with an objection on the
part of the defense against all the special
venire, on the ground that thirty of them
had been drawn on former juries to try
these county cases. 1t was charged that
there was conspiracy between the jury
commissioners and certain of Rays enemies
to pack the panel. 1t was shown that a
number Of these men had been drawn but
that none served or was sworn, and the
court held that the drawing of a man for
a juror did not disqualify him from being
drawn and serving within the year. Judge
Kirkpatrick held that case was not on
trial until the Jury had been sworn. 1t is
believed that nine men now in the box
will be retained. Several times the jury
has been passed back and forth. A num-
Der of jurors have been found who have
not heard Of the case and do not take or
read any newspapers. One of these in
his examination was asked II he was a
freeholder and he said Eyes, | own lot
in graveyard" 1t is believed that a
jury will not be found before noon to-mor-
row.
Interest continues intense, and every
move of the defense is being watched by
hundreds. The legal phases of the case
are the one topic of conversation Every
man put in the box is canvassed and all
his relationships to the defense reported
to assist the prosecution. The people
seem determined that there shall be fair
trial. Additions have been made to counsel
on both sides.
