Washington. Nov 21-A question
has been raised as to the date when
the resignation of Pension Commits
sioner Ware takes effect. The resg-
nation was dated November 10 and ac-
"cepted by tine president the next day.
Neither in resignation nor in the ac-
ceptance was there any mention of the

tinued to discharge the duties until the

is made that Mr.. Wares occupancy of

JURORS To TRY NAN.
Four Men Selected in New York Case
After the Most Scrutinizne
Examination.

New York, Nov. 21.-Four of the twelve
men who are to decide whether or not
Nan Patterson, the I'loradora chorus girl
shot and killed Caesar Young, a book
maker In hanson, last June, had been
selected when the trial was continued to-
day.
Each one of these four was chosen only
girls counsel His past, his present, his
life and his habits, his likes and dislikes,
his moods. temperament. his IDEAS on NOR
ality, had each been weighed and passed
upon and found acceptable.
Nan Patterson herself had aided In their
selection, ol,jecting to this or that man,
finally acGuescing IN the judgment of her
lawyers.
1t took but a few minutes after the
examination Of talisnan had begun to
settle a lot of questions that had previ-
ously been IN douht. Assistant District
Attorney Rand in examining the very first
man called made the distinct statement
that he would rely on circumstantiai evil
dence alone. THE people have no eye
witnesses to the killing of Caesar
Young" he said
Mr.. Levy, counsel for the defense, un-
covered part of the possible plan of the
defense few moments later when he
asked a talisman II the fact that the
defendant did not take the stand in her
own behalf, would prejudice his mind
against the case of the actress.
So it is to be trial with circumstantial
evidence, and the testimony of experts
only, and the only living person who saw
Caesar" Young slain--tae woman accused
of Staying h:m-renainins dumb
This question caused many a promis-
ing candidate for jury duty to retire:
eff it should appear that tho defendant
bad led an improper or meretricious life
with the deceased for u period of years,
knowing that he had wife living. would
that fact serve to prejudice your mind
against her in arriving at your verdict??"

Price is six feet tall, wears n heavy

OF the shooting. The man seen near Og

otherwise he answered the description per-

oycrcoat from his boarding house after
the shooting and started overland TO Des
