CHARGES ARE
NOT SERIOUS
Accusations Against Goodnow
Thought to Be Trivial and
Not Well Founded.
However, They Will Be Investi-
gated Conger to Look Into
the Matter.
From The Journal Bureau, Colorado Building,

From The Journal Bureau, Colorado Building,
Washington
Washington, Jan. 21.-Inquiry at
the White House to-day develops the
fact that no action has been taken by
the president regarding certain new
charges which have been filed against
Consul General John GoodnoW Of
Shanghai. The president has not
heard Of these charges, and nobody at
the White House knows anything
about them.
At the state 81 department it was
learned that new charges had been
filed against Mr.. GOOdnoW, and that
the department would probably take
them up by mail in short time. This
means that several months will elapse
before any conclusion can be reached.
The cooperation of Minister Conger
in the investigation is to be asked.
State department officials are not
inclined to discuss the matter in adj
vance of Minister Conger's report, but
it is very apparent that the new
charges do not on their face carry
quently filed against our consular Of
fcers by certain classes of Americans
who hang on the fringe of civilization
in the Orient, and the several investi-
cations have SO uniformly shown that
the consular officers have been acting
II SoOu lalll 70 protect the natives
from the INSCRIPTIONS schemes of
these Americans, that charges such as
those last preferred against Mr.. Good
now are not on their face regarded as
being serious
1t will require more than a month
for the department letter Of instruc-
tions to reach Mr.. Conger, perhaps
another month for Mr.. Conger to get
ready for his report, and a third
month for that report to reach Wash
ington, unless he finds the charges
sustained, in which event he will COM
nnunicate with the department by
cable.

Twelve good men and true have at
last been chosen to try Antonio Cal
derone for the murder of Salvador
Battalia. After more than three days
and a half of effort, a jury, .satisfac-
tory to both the state and the de-
tense, has been secured, sworn, and
is now listening to County Attorney
Boardman's opening statement of
what the state expects to prove.
This will be Immediately followed
by the introduction of witnesses who
will first establish that on the after
noon and evening of Nov. IS, Salvador
Battalia was alive and we'll, and that
his dead body was found that night
on the Franklin avenue bridge.
All sorts of reasons were given this
morning why veniremen could not be
accepted as jurors. One man was too
old. another was but 10 years of age.
Andrew Jackson, a cOlOred man, was
passed without challenge by Mr.. NC
Ghee, but when he was found to have
no decided opinion as to the guilt or
Innocence of the accused, County At
torney Boardman excused him per-
emptorily, presumably on account of
his color. Mr.. McGhee varied the
monotony a little in one case by pass
ing preliminary challenges and chal-
longing at once for actual bias, but
this venireman, too, was found to have
an opinion.
More than 140 veniremen have been
examined so far and only eleven out of
this number have been found to be
satisfactory to both the state and the
defense. Three special venires have
been drawn, making total of $50
special Veniremen who have been
called for this one case. Notwith-
standing this fact, court had to take
a half-hour's recess yesterday after
7.
But this morning the box was filled
with names and no delay was occa-
stoned. va
Big Crowd Gathers.
The crowd, which has been large
ever since the opening of the trial,
was especially so to-day, because the
taking Of evidence was expected to
begin. AS early as 8 o'clock the
hall in front of Judge Cray's court
room was filled with curious or inter-
ested spectators, and three deputy
sheriffs had almost more than they
could do to keep the eager sight
finally opened.
Judge Brooks has said that the trial
would be carried on in courtroom No.
1 as soon as a jury is secured, and it
Is probable that tomorrow morning
the crowd will be accommodated in
Judge Elliott's more spacious quarters.
Calderone Weeps Often.
Calderone continues to have crying
spells and shows that he is in a very
nervous condition. Yesterday after
noon he broke down and cried like a
baby while his attorney attempted to
brace him UP with cheerful assur-
ances. A number of the prisoner s
Italian friends were present in court

NEW NORTH TOWN BRIDGE
Work VIII Be Begun To-morrow-A
Name Suggested.

Work on the new bridge across the
river at Thirty second avenue N will be
begun tomorrow when the first pile will
be driven. The stone cutters have been
at work for some time dressing down the
rough stone from the Sandstone quarries.
and If the pilng comes fast enough the
work can be pushed very rapidly. There
has been a delay ever since the ice was
strong enough to work upon. owing to the
failure to obtain piles. It has been sug-
gested that the new bridge be christened
after Alderman Dwyer. "l'he Dwyer
bridge" would be short. while 1.-The
Thirty second Avenue North bridge" is
too long.
