WILL SELECT SPECIAL
JURY TO TRY PARKS
Defendants Attorney Objects to Courts
Order but objection Is overruIed.

NEW YORK, Oct. 16.-An order grant
ing motion by the district attorney
Tor special panel from which to Sc
lect the jury that is to try Samuel Parks
on the charge of extortion from the
Tiffany studios, was granted today by
Justice Newburger in the court of gen
eral sessions.
James w. Osborne. counsel for Parks,
in opposition to the motion, asserted
that the proceedings in this court, like
all other proceedings in which Parks has
been interested. are prejudiciai to the
defendant
Mr.. Osborne declared that in cases of
this character a special panel is made
up only of employees of labor. There was
not. he. said, a single laboring man or
mechanic on it.
He was willing to make affidavit that
the panel from which the jury is to be
selected to try Parks does not contain the
name of single laborer, but only en-
ployerS of labor who are prejudiced In
their views toward labor.
The judge took issue with counsel on
the question and insisted that neither
he nor Mr.. Osborne had any knowledge
as to what the jurors are until they are
examined. rs
Mr.. Osborne attempted to argue that
the court had no power to order a special
panel but the judge told him he had
heard enough, that the order was grant
ed and ordered Mr.. OsbSne to sit down.

Postal Fraud Case May Reach
Jury This Afternoon.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, Oct. 15.-The
evidence was concluded and arguments
were begun today in the trial of Miller
and Johns for alleged conspiracy to ex-
tort bride. AS six hours were all
lowed for arguments and only a half
hour was consumed before court
adjourned tonight, It is evident
with five and a half hours for
arguments tomorrow and addi-
tional time for the charge Of
the jury and motions, the case will not
go to the jury until tomorrow evening.
II is thought by some that there will
be no verdict until Monday. The fea-
ture today was the testimony of the
two defendants. For the first time
during the week, John J. Ryan was
not on the stand, but Chief Inspector
Cochran appeared for the third time.
After being on the witness stand
three hours yesterday, Johns was
cross examined for over an hour today.
He denied that he had told Inspectors
Vickery and Fulton when they were
investigating him at Rockville that he
would talk If he thought nothing would
come OF it except the dismissal of a
clerk in Washington. Most of his evil
dence today consisted in such deniaIs.
Miller was on the witness stand
from 11.3O a. m. until p. m. and was
generally conceded to be an excep-
tionally strong witness for himself.
both in direct and cross examination.
He was cool and deliberate and the
court frequently stopped him from ar
guing his own case, while answering
questions. His examination by RuIi-
son was considered an exceptionally
strong proceeding, while Miller after
ward was confronted with the most Sc
we're cross-examination without being
disturbed, even in trying to explain
contradictions in his own statements.
Judge Thompson announced that
each side would be allowed three hours
for arguments.
Assistant District Attorney Thomas
H. Darby addressed the jury over a
half hour. He insisted that conspir-
acy implied an understanding between
Miller and Johns. This was not a
matter to be judged by the previous
good regulations of Miller or Johns or
the bad reputation of Ryan. He in
sisted that, whatever may have been
the record of Ryan, he told the
truth about the meetings with Johns
at Terre Haute and Cincinnati; that
Johns secured from Ryan $4,000 for a
matter that had already been settled;
that Johns would never have solicited
postoffice cases or met Ryan but for
his understanding with Miller. and that
such understanding constituted con-
spiracy to commit an offense against
the United States. Before Mr.. Darby
concluded court adjourned until 8 4.
m. tomorrow.

FAVOR BRINGING LABOR
AND CAPITAL TOGETHER
Action to This End May Be Taken Be-
fore Civic Federation Adiourns.

CHICAGO, Oct. 16.-Although ques-
tons of dispute and of great interest to
the wage earners and the employers,
such as the open shop methods of
paying wages, piece work and bonus,
came up before the conference of the
National Civic Federation today, no
action has yet been decided upon that
Will improve the relations of the prin-
cipals In the controversy. However,
it was not considered improbable that
before the session is brought to a close
some action that will aid in bringing
labor and capital closer together may
be taken. A number of the speakers
at the session today favored this, say
Ing the occasion was opportune.
Among those in attendance today
were Henry c. Hunter, commissioners
of the Metal Trades association. Of
New York; Marcus M. Marks, president
of the National Clothing Manufacture
ers' association, of New York; J. N.
Gum, of New York; Jas. Mcconnell,
president of the International Asso-

of Philadelphia; Frank Buchanan,
head of the structural ironworkers;
John Phillips, of Brooklyn; James p.
Archibald, of New York; former Lieut..
Gov. Coates, of Colorado, and DR.. Jo-
siah Strong. of New York.
Laboring men predominated in the
proceedings, and at one time, when the
discussion was becoming general, sew
eral in the audience arose and talked
on questions which at times tended to-
wards socialism. Samuel Gompers, the
presiding officer, however, checked the
debate and compelled the speakers to

GOODS SHOW A
LESSENEO DEMAND
In the Northwest Trade Is Sat.
Isfactory, but in the East 1t
Is Dragging.

NEW YORK, Oct 6.-Bradstreet's
tomorrow will say: General trade and
industry still lacks the spur of insist
ent demand which has been so con-
spicuously present in the autumn of
recent years. Exceptions to this are
noted in the Southwest, the hard win
ter wheat section, where demand as a
whole is reported equal to last year, at
some points in the Northwest and on
the Pacific coast, In the Central West
business is fair, but at the East quiet
ness is increasing and reports from the
South are rather less optimistic, if
some portions of Tennessee and Flor
Ida, where crop yields are exceptionally
good, are excepted. Reasons for this
are easy to see. Sympathetic reflection
OF depression in securities shows more
conservative and cautious buying at
wholesale.
Crops generally are slow to move.
Cereal producers are apparently disin-
cllned to accept present prices for their
products, and the lower prices for cot
ton, reached some time ago, with much
less favorable adVices from that crop.
cloud the Southern prospects slightly.
The shut down of iron furnaces fails
to stimulate values in this line. Money
is easier at the large centers, but while
this makes it less difficult to get ac-
ed as evidence of quietness in MANY
lines releasing funds which ordinarily
would be in active request Collections
are still complained of as slow.
There are, however, some favorable
features in the situation. The indis-
position of producers to meet con-
sumers' demands is sign of an ability
to hold, which, whether wise or not, in
dicates underlying prosperous condi-
tons.
Reports of suspension of improve
ment work by railroads come rather
earlier than usual this year, but sales
of new rails, cars and supplies point to
much of this being largely seasonal.
While dry goods and textiles report
dullness in many places, groceries.
hardware and wood products move
more freely because of price conditions
being easier. Eastern cotton mills have
not resumed in full and are buying
sparingly as yet, but wool is in rather
better sale to cover orders booked.
Reports from the Eastern jewelry man
ufacturing trade are quite good and
the shipments of shoes from Eastern
centers breaks all previous years rec
ords.
