Mayor Won't Have Any One Arrested
Until District Attorney Is Better.

PHILADELPHIA, July 1S.-Mayor Weaver
announced to-day through his counsel, ex-
Judge Gordon, that no arrests Of the "pow-
erful and important persons said to be
involved in the filtration contract inquiry
are to be made for several weeks. The
reason given for the delay was "the de-
plorable accident to District Attorney
Bell
1T is our desire" said Mr. Gordon, ito
have Mr.. Bells active cooperation and
participation in all stages Of the prosecu-
ton in the future. and we shall await for
the present the progress Of his restoration
to health"
Mr.. Gordon pointed out that this would
cause no loss of advantage to the prosecu-
ton, as in no event could the cases be tried
until fall.
just how District Attorney Bell will look
upon the new developments IL uncertain.
He has not yet seen or heard OF Elihu Roots
letter or the announcement of postpone
ment. None Of his assistants or advisers
has been permitted to confer with him.
DR.. Martin said last night that it would
be several days before Mr.. Bell could talk
to any one and that it will be fully six weeks
before he can hope to give active attention
to business matters.
Some Of Mr.. Bells friends incline to the
belief that he will ask to be excused from
cooperation in the cases until after the pre-
liminary hearing.
Mr.. Gordon continued "The loss caused
by Mr.. Roots retirement from the cases
consequent upon his acceptance Of the
Secretaryship of State is greatly mitigated
by the selection. upon his Recommendation,

JURORS COTTON PLAY
Relied On as Basis for New Trial for Homi.
cidal Negroes.

The fact that juror got cotton market
quotations will be used as the basis Of an
appeal for new trial for Emma Nash, q
negress, who was convicted Of manslaughter
and sentenced to fourteen years at Auburn.
The Nash woman was tried for numbering
her common law husband, Joshua White
hurst. Barton s. Castles, cotton broker
was juror and got permission from
Judge Foster in General Sessions to receive
the quotations. He said that II he was
acquainted with the situation his mind
would be at ease and he would be better
able to give his attention to the trial. The
quotations were received and read by the
Judge before they went to the juror, who
was allo wed to trade on them from the box.
1t is the first time that this question has
been raised as the basis for an appeal for
a new trial. Many criminal lawyers think
it Ia good ground.
