clared that the chairman had usurped
authority conferred upon the national
committee by the convention to deter
mine the matter
In defense of himself. Chairman Jones
said that the subcommittee which had
been appointed TO hear the case had
instructed him verbally to make an ap-
pOintmcnt while the committee was at
Indianapolis. Mr.. Jacobs asked Chair
man Jones TO name any member of the
committee who had so instructed him
Mr.. Jones said he was unable To re-
call the names of the committeeman.
After further animated discussion. and
Notwithstanding the fact that the mo-
ton to appoint committee TO hear the
case had been laid on the table Chair
man Jones entertained another motion
to appoint committee to hear and re-
port upon the matter. This motion
was carried.
The effect is to displace Mr. Seton as
national committeeman and leave a va
cancy until the committee reports
Chairman Jones did not appoint a com

may not be determined until the ma

be made. however. TO have the COM

MACHEM SEEMS SATISFIED
WITH JURORS CHOSEN

a. ". Machen was much more active
in consulting his attorneys today than
he was yesterday. lie constantly leaned
forward and held conferences with c.
A. Douglass and Mr.. Hunter. lie took
the keenest interest in the selection of
the jury, and smiled when some Of the
taiesmen said they had formed opinions
about his guilt or innocence. Machen
sat well forward on the edge of his
chair. and while he talked with his law
yers. he paid little or no attention to
his fellow-Drisoners.
When the jury was finally sworn,
MacEen scanned its members with the
greatest interest. and seemed well
pleased with the result. for he smiled
broadly and for the first time spoke
TO Major Lorenz. who also smiled From
that time. Machen's face was lighted up
with smiles and ne leaned back in his
chair with the air of a man who has
just finished q good meal.
As Mr.. Beach made his charge to the
jury and accused Machen of selling his
honor in an effort to make money out
Of the Government, he watched the
prosecutor closely, and while his face
was crimson he gave no otncr sign Of
nervousness or anger.
Mrs Lorenz took the arraignment Of
herself and husband in the opening
statement with some evidences OF dis
tress. but on the whole she bore IL well.
Major Lorenz was seemingly indlffer-
ent TO the denunciations Of the District
Attorney. and so were the Groffs. ex-
cept Dlller b.. whose eyes twinkled more
than usual.

The New Workers. headed by former
Mayor Van Wyck and Senator McCar-
rem. are ostcnsibly working to secure
the convention for the Empire City. but
it is admitted that their work is per
fUnctory, and that no real effort is
being expended. The New York delega-
ton held another meeting this morning
at which were present former Mayor
Van Wyck. Senator McCarren. General
Steele. Representatives Sulzer. Wilson.
Goldfosle. and the others OF the delega-
ton in Congress. Former Mayor Van
Wyck acted as chairman of the meet
ing, and made a short address. in which
he called attention to the facilities Of
New York for holding a meeting as big
as the national convention is going to
be. Senator McCarren also spoke re-
ferring to the presence of the Repre-
sentatives, and asking them to helm win
for New York
The Chicago convention delegation,
which also arrived last night, has been
working since il reached the Shoreham.
The members have their headquarters
nearer the lobby than either New York
or St. Louis. IL is said today that the
delegation is ready to offer $4,000 and
expenses for this convention. as It did
for the Republican. if it is necessary.
The members Of the delegation. how
ever. do not believe that it is going 10
be necessary TO offer more than the ex-
penscs. This is what New York has
done The Empire City men have been
instructed TO say to the national COM
mittee that New York is willing 70 pay
the expenses Of the convention. but that
the city does not mean 10 buy Il.
The delegation from ST Louis is max
ing more Of an effort to obtain this con-
vention than il did the Republican
body. and it is said today that the
Mound City is wiling to pay bonus.
One OF the hardest workers for st.
Louis is Representative Cowherd. who
practically polled the whole national
committee himself. He is optimistic.
and he announced today that Chicago
had by no means won.

got back TO the account Of Machen in
Westminster. Md. and that amount
was 20 per cent of the warrants the
Groffs cashed."
Mr.. Beach's Offer.
Following Mr. Beachs exposition OF
the Governments theory there arose the
question of what papers and witnesses
should be kept in Washington for the
trial. The Government asserted that
many of the issues in the trial could be
settled without having IN the city SO
many witnesses and papers. and appeal
ed to the defense to allow some OF
them to 90.
Mr.. Kumler said that the generosity
OF the dtfense in granting the requests
OF the prosecution had been one Of the
tenderest and sweetest exhibitions OF
legal amenities in all his career, or
words 20 that effect. Mr.. Beach said the
keeping for an indefinite time OF all the
witnesses summoned would practically
put several banks out of business, and
quoted a statement Ivy Mr. Kumlor in
which that attorney told q. Toledo banker
there would be no trouble in getting
away after a day or so. Mr.. Beach
added that in the matter Of brotheriy
courtesy in making grants to the 5ppo-
sition the prosecution had certainly been
liberal TO a remarkable extent.
Will Hurry Trial
An effort was made to have court ad-
journ until tomorrow at 10 a. N, in
order that the attorneys might come
TO private agreement about the pa
pers and witnesses.
Justice PritchaTd killed the suggestion
by saying he was determined to hurry
the trial, and as the lawyers had had
months in which 10 prepare their cases
and come TO agreements he would go
no further than adjourn until ? p. m.
