QUESTIONABLE PANEL
Judge Phcian Diamisses the Whole
Bunch.
INCLUDES PARKER CASE JURY
Second One Which Has Been Sum-
moned In This important Murder
Case-Unacceptable Characters and
TRAILING" Prime Reasons.

Detroit, Mich, April 19.-The entire
fury panel of the recorders court for
the year ending May 1 was discharged
Monday afternoon by Judge Phelan.
The second jury of twelve in the
Parker murder case was discharged
last night at p. m. after an eXhaus-
tive review of the remarkable circum
stances surrounding the jury draw
ings.
Events crowded thiclly upon each
other in Phelan's court, and because Of
the unacceptable character Of certain
Of the talesmen and CT the disclosures
pointing to the trailing Of the jurors
by interested people, the names con-
tanned in the big jury box were or
dered destroyed.
An entirely new list of talesmen will
he put in the box by the jury commits
sion and on Wednesday from fifty Of
the $50 new names a third jury for the
Parker murder trial will be drawn.
Ex-Public Works Commissioner d.
W. H. Mcreland, who would have been
tried by jury from the list destroyed,
was in court when the order was
given So enraged did he become that
he uttered foul threats at Hanley, the
private detective. whose work in the
service of Prosecutor Hunt was instru,
mental in securing the destruction Of
the list.
Last May 600 names were put in the
big box end jurics have been drawn
from its contents all year. In the
course Of time every name was drawn
out and revealed to The interested at
torneys in The course Of business
Those wEo were excused from service
on the particular jury for which they
were drawn as talesmen had their
names put back in the box. So in this
manner Moreland and Parker and
their attorneys knew the identity OF
every man whose name remained III
the box. Some Of these jurors had
been shown in court to be improper
rersons and Prosecutor Hunt claimed
that others were men who had crinl-
inal records and who had been public
works employees.
When IL was shown that not only
the prosecutor but the attorneys of in
terested defendants had "trailed" the
jurors, the last straw was laid aud
Judge Phelan called a halt in en-
phatic language.
The persistent rumors OF bribery in
the Parker case came TO 3. head in the
arrest of Attorney Drownson on a
writ of attachment issued by Judge
Fbelan late Saturday night The AZ
rest was the result OF the statement
made by DR.. w. l.. Cooper. Dr. Cooper
swears that he was approached by
brownson.

st. Petersburg. April 30-Vicoroy
Alexieff has applied by telegraph to
the emperor to be relieved of his post
tion of viceroy in the far east.
1t is expected the request will be
Immediately granted While no Off.
cial announcement has yet been made.
there is reason to believe the above
statement is correct.
The immediate cause OF the vice
roy's application is reported TO be the
appointments of Vice Admiral Skryd-
loft, one of Admiral Alexieff's strong.
est enemies and sharpest critics, as
successor to the late Vice Admiral
Makaroff in the command Of the Rus.
sian navy in the far east.
Vice Admiral Skyrdloff had an in.
terview with the emperor Tuesday
and discussed with his majesty the
question of his (Skrydlof's) relations
with Alexieff. The relieving from
command Of Viceroy AleXieff would not
surprise intelligent observers Of the
far eastern situation who are familiar
with the gradual change in the EN-
perer's attitude toward the viceroy and
M. Bezobrazoff, who represented the
militant of advanced element which
was anxious that Russia should remain
In Menchuria. 1t was to these two
men that the Anglo-Japanese entente
first lost its terrors.
1t is said that Vice Admiral Skyrd.
loft. in his interview. let his majesty
understand that he does not care to
assume command Of the fleet until
Alexieff has withdrawn. Therefore the
two men will not meet at Port Arthur
The enemies of AleXieff have per.
sistently asserted that as the man on
the spot he should have kept the en-.
peror informed concerning the many
vital points. On the eve Of the war
Alexieff apparently still had the con.
fdence of the car, but the lack of pre-.
paredness of the Port Arthur feet as
shown in the cases of battleships Ret

the naval administration in the far
east.

iourned at late hour last night until

nent location for the fair. When the

that there shall be not more than two
members from any one county on the

According TO a report received from
United States Consul Stephens, at.
Plymouth, England, the British are
greatly worried over the continued
emigration of the Irish peasantry to5
America. ever before, e writes
Mr.. Stephens, have the Irish people
manifested such a determinat ion to:
leave their country. AT present they

their Island has the slightest effect
Mr.. Stephens says that more than
twenty-five thousand left Ireland for
America during the present year,
and those already in the United
States send home money as rapidly
as possible to defray the expenses of
their friends and relatives to follow
them.
