ward eagerly for the day to como when the real trial would begin.
 When the seventh days proceedings opened. it was expected that the one juror necessary to complete the trial panel of twelve would be secured be- fore luncheon. A panel of 100 new talesmen appeared this morning In re- sponse to the orders issued yesterday. so there was plenty of material avail able for the selection of the last juror. The defendant appeared especially con- fident that today would witness the be- ginning of his real trial and he evil dently has steeled himself for the or deal of the District Attorneys arraign- ment. The members of the new panel filled many of the seats in the rear of the court room which have been vacant for several days. through the strict en- forcement of the rule regulating ad- mittance to the court room.
 In anticipation of the important events the day was expected to de- velop, the members of the Thaw family were early in their seats. Mrs. Will liam Thaw. mother of the prisoner. came with her daughters, the Countess of Yarmouth and Mrs. George L. Car negie, and her son, Edward Thaw :. Josiah Thaw and George Carnegie had preceded Mrs. Thaw's party by sew eral minutes. Mrs. Evelyn Thaw and her companion. May Mackenzie. are usually among the first persons to reach the court room each day. but they were late this morning. They did not arrive until 10:60 o'clock. when there was . cordial exchange of greet ings with the other members of the family. The morning session had not opened when the prisoners wife came The delay was due to conference of all the attorneys with Justice Fitz- gerald
 Walker and Haas Excused. The result of the conference was made known as soon as the new jury roll panel was called. District Attor- ney Jerome announced that counsel for | the people and defense had decided to excuse from further service on the | Jury Messrs. David s. Walker and Louis Haas No cause was assiKred for the action.
 Runors that both M. walker. who is son of John Brisben Walker and ,Mr. Haas would be excused had been rife all morning. There was but It, tie surprise in the court room when the decision of the attorneys was am nounced
 The excuse of the two jurors, mak- Ing it necessary to fill three places ip the trial panel completely upset the theory that the case might progress today to the opening address of the prosecution.
 Thaw was visibly' disappointed at the turn of affairs, though he had been appraised in advance of the decision to release MassFs. Walker and Haas. It was practically at Thaw's dictation that Mir. Walker was first accepted.
 Both of the released Jurymen seem ed taken by surprise at the proceedings and quickly left the court house.
 As the two jurors departed, Haas said he had nothing to say. Walker

Decision of Jury In DOwd Case Has No
 Legal Effect.

Washington, Jan. S1--Itais said at the War Department that the action of the fury In acqultting Lieutenant Drury and Private Dowd at Pittsburg, really leaves the question of conflicting Juris- diction of the State and National gov ernment still an Issue,
 Had the State court yielded to tho wish of the Assistant District Attorney for the State, and found the accused guilty of homicide, or even involuntary manslaughter. the case would have been taken to 8 Federal court on ap- neal, when there would have been op- nortunity for a decision by the highest authority on the question as to whether d sentry on a military reservation is Justified in executing the command of his superior officer and shooting civil ian.

'KEYLO6 "LIEUTENANT'S
WONDERFUL MEMORY
AStOunded Examiners Held
Up Appointment.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov, q
(SpeciaD -Twenty-on second lieu
tenants have been ordered promoted
to first Heutenants. All these have
been delayed by the case of one young
officer, He has become known
through the army as the Key Log
Lieutenant because like the one
Jonah" log that tightens the jam of
logs in a river, he jammed the prog
ress of promotions among the lower
grades in the army.
The young officer is Lieutenant
George c. Rockwell, of Kansas.
Months ago Rockwell, who was sec
ond lieutenant of the Tenth Infantry,
was ordered up for examination for
promotion. He passed his eXamina-
ton in fine shape. In fact, when his
papers were examined they were SO
letter-perfect in following the text
books in the replies that he made to
the various questions that a sugges-
ton was made that he had ''ponied
his way through the examination
There was no evidence that he had
done this, and nothing to warrant
charges being brought against him
However, the matter was examined
and while this examination was going
on the second lieutenants Junior to
Rockwell were delayed in receiving
their promotions.
After an exhaustive examination
those who looked into young Rock
wells case have found that there was
nothing irregular in his examination
work. 1t was found that he possess.
ed wonderful memory, and was able
to retain letter-perfect knowledge o.
| sentences in the textbooks. In his re-
plies to the examination questions
Rockwell was able to give the exac
words of the textbooks.
Having solved the problem anC
come to the conclusion that Rockwell
was in every way eligible for promo
ton, the department yesterday made
| public the list of q promotions o
second lieutenants, and RockwelP'
| name headed the list.

into neglecting the means closer at

from other parts of the country. 1t is
singularly unfortunate that this mis-

immigration to this country has come
to mean movement of individuals
from abroad inclined to live upon
community rather than for it. We'll
coming such a class of immigrants to

Smart Walking Costumes.

A smart tailored walking costume
of brown serge suiting, has the skirt
made instep length in three circular
sections which are joined under grad
uated hens. There is a seam down
the center of the back which gives the
ripple effect below the hips. The
cutaway coat has the wide armhole
effect and the sleeves are plain, full
length. The lower part of the vest is
of herring bone silkbraid, while the
upper section is of brown velvet
which matches the straps on the
cuffs.
1t is evident that purple is the fav-
orite color for this winter All of the
smartest hats are made of purple vel
vet, or trimmed with it. There are
some stunning combinations of pur-
pie and brown, green or a rich wine
red. When purple is unbecoming to
the face, the hat should be built VI
with white or ecru, if that can be
worn equally as well. Besides the
morning glories and orchids and
feur-de-lis that these hats are trim
med with are beautiful lavender and
purple pansies.

Purple Flowers On Bodice.

A fashion of pinning small bunch
of fine artificial flowers on the bodice
for dressy occasions, is as popular as
it was last Spring, but this winter the
flowers will be purple, of course.
Morning glories and the long trum-
pet flowers will be worn. They are al
so pinned on a muff of black fur
The new short walking skirts are
seen in plaids with a four-inch band
of velveteen around the bottom. One
verge Elective skirt was made of brick
dust red and black plaid with vel
veteen band of black at the hem.
The latest guimpes are made of
very fine lace, with sometimes the
combination of lace and tucked net
or tulle. A line of color or tiny
fold of gold or silver at the top
makes a correct and pretty finish. Or
there may be a tiny bow at the base
of the throat; still others have a gold
and silver cord following the bottom
of the collar and tied in number of
small loops, the ends finished with
silk balls or tassels.

LACE BlOUSES GROW
IN POPULARITY
Some Fashions in Hats
and Dresses.
Correspondence Times-Recorder)

Correspondence Times Recorder.)
NEW York, Nov. 2.-The popularity
of lace blouses seems to increase as
the season advances, and it is believ-
ed that the lingerie waist will receive
little favor Where it is possible,
these lace blouses match the skirt
This is not difficult if the skirt is of
a champaign or brown color.
The coarse meshed laces seem to
be used more than the fine ones, and
the prettiest of these waists are made
of stripes of filet lace which is put to-
gether with fancy stitch. Some are
made of three different laces over a
foundation of fine cotton net, and are
trimmed with narrow ruffles of Cluny
lace. 1t is very smart to wear black
velvet ribbon a quarter of an inch
wide, at the top of the collar and tie
in a small bow at the back, which
may be kept in place by. small bar
pin. Tiny bows of black satin are
worn in the front of many stocks.
One of the prettiest fashions in
hats, is the facing of felts with col
ored velvet The French prefer the
Irish green velvet for this purpose
rather than any other color. 1t is. a
very becoming style to have the color
next to the face, especially if the hat
is of a dark color Hatter's satin is
being used to a great extent because
of it's adaptability for the most mod
ish shapes. 1t comes in all colors and
hats that are made of it are consider
ed very stylish.
