he vehemently declared that if the

of the law should be laid upon Mrs.
Chadwick.
"Why should l stand the brunt OF
all this trouble which has been direct

MISS PATTERSON IS
SELECTING JURYMAN
Every Man Who Stands Up Is
Closely Scrutinized.
ONLY THREE CHOSEN so FAR

The Work of Getting a Jury in the
Murder Trial Is Progressing Very
SoWly-HeaIth of Men Necessary
Qualification.
New York, Dec. 6.-With only three
jurors chosen as a result of the first
days work it was evident that when
the case of Nan Patterson, for the mur
der of Caesar Young was resumed
In the supreme court today more time
would be required for preliminares
than in the first trial. The domination
of candidates for jury duty is being
prosecuted with the greatest care, and
particular attention is being given
to the conditions OF health of the tales
man to prevent, if possible, repeti
tion Of the occurrence, which brought
nation.
On that occasion, when a juror was
stricken with apoplexy 1t was learned
that he had suffered two previous
shocks.
Miss patterson herself Is taking a
keen interest in the selection of the
men who are to decide her fate.
In the first trial, it was said, Nan
Patterson chose her own jury. When
the case came to a sudden and unex
pected end she expressed regret
II was sure that jury would acquit
me-" she said, as she was led away to
her cell in the Tombs From her at
titude thus far it seems evident that
she will do her best to select IL men
who will be acceptable to her as were
the others. This time she has 200
men from whom she may make her Sc.
lections.
Aside from Mrs. Patterson heryelf,
the most interesting figure In the case
is her aged, gray-haired father John
Randolph Patterson OF Washington.
Ever since his daughter was charged
with murder six months ago Mr.. Pat,
terson has given his whole time to her
case. In the vpreoius trial he was al.
ways among the first to enter the
court room, and through the long
daily sessions he sat always at his
daughters side. He was the first to
welcome her when he came from her
cell in the morning and the last to
see her at night
At this trial the now familiar figure
is to be seen each day in its accus-
toned place.

BIRTHS DECREASING IN CITIES.
While the Marriage Rate is Higher
Than Usual.

Whlle the Marriage Kate is Hi9her
Than Usual.
Berlin, Dec. 6.-Off1cial statistics
covering 26 years show steady and
noticeable decrease in the birth rate
in the large cities of Germany, in spite
of the fact that the marriage rate is
higher than in cities of less than 100,.
900 inhabitants and in the country.
Berlin, which passed the two-million
mark In December, presents q decrease
in the borth rate. In the period from
1896 to 1900, it averaged 2S.9 against
44.9 from 1875 to 1880
The highest birth rate is in the great
industrial centers of the Rhenish prov
ince. In Essen the average is All,
In Dusseldorf, Alt and in Cologne 40.2
The marriage rate is highest in Ber
lin-21.9-and in the other great cit
les 1t Is 1921 per thousand.
The statistical bureau points out
that this portends considerable fall
ing off in the national birth rate since
the decline in greater cities with in.
creasing proportion of people and a
high marriage rate are most important

to seek shelter from the japanese fire
under Peiyu mountain, but the capture

are nightly attacking 203 Metre Hill
in a determined endeavor to retake
the summit of the ground in conten-
ton.
The Japanese are increasing their
defenses on the position and have
succeeded so far in repelling all the
assaults. The Russians have suffer
ed the heaviest losses, and it Is esti-
mated that they have sacrificed 1000
men in an effort to recapture the
ground, which the Japanese are con-
f1dent in their ability to hold.
Observations indicate that the gar
rison is feeling the shortage of men.
The works against the forts on
Sungshu mountain eastward are pro-
crossing speedily and all indications
point to a nearly general assault, al
though the date when it will begin is
kept secret.
1t is expected that the next general
assault will prove successful.
