xhe Chicago school in many meet
and on the football field. In the re-
cent western collegiate conference
meet at Evanston, Ill.,, he took first
place In the hammer throwing event
and was second to Garrels, Of Mich
igan. in tossing the discus.
7 Parry and Shevlin. the big Yale
athlete. the two greatest college ham
mer throwers in recent years, repre-
sent two widely different styles OF
hurllng the missile. The westerner
throws the hammer with but one hand,
his right, while shevlin swings with
both hands. Strange to say. however,
Parry has al all times proved the Yale
mans master when 1t WOULD be sup
posed that using both hands the To-
pound weight could be sent many feet
further than with single hand.
When the two men met in the Uni
yersity Of Pennsylvania relay carni-
val recently the struggle for first hon
ors rested between these two men,
and the contrast in styles was very
striking. Parry's form is perfect, and
with his single hand he hurled the
hammer farther with less effort and
with finer form than did Shevlin. In
making the triple turn the western
star flies around perfectly, each lear
and turn carrying him toward thu
back of the seven-foot circle, until
when he releases the weight, he Is Il

Treasurer Of National Republi-
can Committee Indignant
Over Story Of Another Campaign
Gift of $4,000.
COPY OF THE VOUCHER
Is Printed by a New York News
paper Today.
Original Is in Hands of Andrew
Hamilton.

New York March 20.=The Herald
today reproduces a fac-simile OF what
purports to be voucher for $4,000
given Andrew Hamilton IN October.
1886, by the treasurer os the Republl-
can national committee. The Herald
says that the voucher was exhibited
yesterday BY Andrew Hamilton, for
merly legislative agent for the New
York Life Insurance company at Al
bany, and that Hamilton alleged that
the receipt was received by him IN ac-
acknowledgement OF two contributions
which he had been instructed to make
to the Republican campaign fund
When the subject Of the voucher
was brought to the attention OF Corne-
lius N. Bliss, treasurer Of the Republi-
can national committee. last night he
promptly repudiated all knowledge OF
such a voucher, positively declaring,
according to the Herald, that nothing
of the kind existed.
The Herald quotes Mr.. Bliss as say
ing: NO such receipt exists. If any
one says so he lies"
The Herald asked Mr.. Hamilton why
he had not earlier returned from Paris
and quotes him as replying that infiu-
ences kept him in Paris against his
will. He added:
when the inner story OF all this
comes out the public viii know why
did not come back. Z wanted to come
back I was eager to come back
When I learned that Mr.. Mccall was
in dangerous condition I was anxious
to return. 1t will come out in time"

TROUBLE TO GET JURY
Big Moeser Damage Case Finds But
Few EligibIes.

A world of difficulty is being exper-
fenced in obtaining a jury to try the
case of Ralph L. Chute against the
NIoeser Brothers Ice and Cold Storage
company for $4,000 personal trjury
damages.
The regular Panel and two special
Nenires were exhausted this morning
and the requisite twelve men had net
yet been obtained. All sorts of excuses
were offered, ranging from physical dis
ability to. an overpress of business and
financial loss.
After the regular panel had been used
up the following II additional names
were drawn from the wheel: John Brad
ley. George Neil, W. B. Shaw, ]. ].
Rartleson, G. ". Closson, T. D. Alden,
W. N. Gregory, A. J. Van SAINT, W. J.
Vawter, A. K. Van Hook, J. M. Shella-
barger, T. r. Hyatt.
Still the box could not be filled ind
a second venire Of ten men was called
upon The names follow: ". E.
ingalls,, Henry Schroeder, H. L. Larsh,
A. J. T>eachan, John Lapp, George Rim
ner, z. p. Jordan, S. a. Scott J. G.
Carruth.
When time came for the noon recess
the plaintiff still had one right Of chai-
lenge unexercised. Several Of Il 2 jury
men from the second venire lad rot
reported, and rather than call upon an
other venirc. it was decided to wait and
see If the twelve cannot De mace up
from the deIinquents.
The case Is like two others whicr
have been up for trial. In July. 1902
Ralph Chute, then about Il years Of
age, with two other boys, was playing
about the corner of Polk and Second
streets, at which place the Noesers,
Charles and William, were erecting an
Ice and cold storage plant. Part of the
scaffolding fell down and carried with
it a section of q brick corniee. The
brick struck the boys playing below
and Chute received q bad scalp wo.V,1
and slightly fractured skull The par
ents Of all the boys Brought suits Cor
damages. On one of the cases last year
the jury disagreed. The other was dis
missed at the instance of the plaintiff
after the trial was but half over.
Chute's case is now receiving its fist
triaI.
McClintock and McKeever are Chute s
attorneys. while Hazen and Cav are
looking after the interests OF the de-
fendants.

MOODY ARGUES 1T.
Attorney General of United states Ap-
pears in Beef Trust Case.

Chicago. March 20.-Attorney Gen
eral Moody resumed his argument in
the packers case today. He com
menced by citing a number of authori-
ties in support Of the position main
tanned by the government in the case.
"A person can not be compelled as
a witness before any tribunal he
said, 'and in order to be compelled he
must be witness before some tribunal
under compuls1on of the law. To give
discriminating evidence against himself
the cOmplsion must be exercised over
his claim Of exemption. The substitute
by which the constitutional privilege
of any may be supplanted must be CO.
extensive with the privilege which it
supplants. It need not be more"
The attorney general argued at con-
siderable length on the contention that
in order to obtain immunity a witness
must claim It under oath and while on
the witness stand. He declared that
none Of the defendants in the present
case had done this and that therefore
their claims for immunity could not
be seriously considered by the court.

Another Account.
Hattiesburg. Miss, Barch 20.-A tor

Beaumont on the Mobile, Jackson &
Kansas City railroad, and Brooklyn, on
the Gulf and Ship Island road, 20

across the country a distance of Is
miles. It's path was a quarter of a

and destroying all of the timber IN its
path.
Mr.. Kennedy could give no informa-
ton as to probable loss of life, but he
was certain the storm had swept
through the country described.
