TRIES TO MAKE EXCHANGE

NEW YORK. Feb. 1.-The Thaw
jury was completed today by the Sc
lection Of Bernard Gerstman as the
twelfth jury. This came as a com
plote surprise at the end Of long and
tedious day--the eighth day OF the
trlal-and Immediately after this Jus
tice Fitzgerald adjourned court until
Monday.
District Attorney Jerome who had
been contending yesterday for the re-
moval OF one OF the men now in the
jury box. but who has failed to gain
the consent OF the defendants coun-
sci to an exchange. was still reluctant
as court adjourned today to begin act
portunity to plead with Thaw's attor-
neys At his request therefore. Justice
Fitzgerald ordered all the talesmen
who have not yet been examined TO be
In court Monday morning ready for
jury service In case any are needed.
Jerome then announced If there should
be no change in the situation In the
meantime. that the state would pro-
ceei to place all its direct testimony
before the jury at the morning session
Monday. The defense was notified to
be in readiness to proceed by Monday
afternoon.
I'VE are entirely satisfied with the

Thaw's leading counsel, tonight, and
he added the intimaton that he would

IDENTIFY of the opinion that the cross
examination of the States witnesses
to the actual events associated with
the tragedy will not be very extensive.
From the fact that Thaw's counsel
have closely questioned the talesmen
as to any prejudice against the de-
fense of insanity. it is generally con-
ceded that the plea of emotional in
sanity will be the main reliance of the
young defendant. This will probably
lead to a cross questioning Of the
states witnesses. in which event the
conclusion of the states direct testi-
mony may take longer than anticipat-
ed.

Sweeps Canadian Plains to the
Destruction of Stock.
WORST IN TWENTY YEARS
Famished Wolves And Coyotes Pur-
sue Cattle and Feed on Laggards
Snow Plows Are Useless
Against the Storm.

VANCOUVER, B. c., Feb. Am
other terrible blizzard is sweeping
the Western ranges, cattle are dying
thick and fast, trains are stalled ev-
erywhere and famishei wolves and
coyotes are pursuing stock. The storm
Is the worst in 20 years.
This is the burden of special dis
patches received this morning from
Winnipeg, Calgary, Medicine Hat,
Macleod and other prairie points. The
only pleasant statement is the predic-
ton of the Stoney Indians that the
present storm will break the back of
the hard winter.
A Winnipeg report says it is esti-
mated that 25 per cent of Alberta's
cattle perished. One concern alone
lost 100000.
A Carey special says: The storm
which ragged all yesterday covers the
whole division. The Canadian Pacific
Railroad cannot keep it's trains NOV
ing, as the snow is drifting and as
fast as it is removed by plows drifts
back again. Several trains are stalled.
Medicine Hat reports the cattle sit
uation desperate.
A Macleod special says: The out
look on the ranges is becoming daily
more desperate. Cattle are dying
thick and fast. 1t was IS degrees be-
low zero Wednesday night, but Thurs
day morning a chinook blew up and
thaw began. Unfortunately, the hopes
of the ranches were speedily blasted,
for the warm wave was suddenly dis
placed by raging blizzard. The cat
tie are skin poor, and If the cold con-
tinues the majority will be food for
packs of wolves and coyotes which are
now eagerly travelling on the trails OF
famished and tired-out herds, devour-
ing those that fall from weakness.

FIRE GETS BEYOND CONTROL
Starts in Hart Of Business District and
Spreads Despite Efforts Of Firemen
and Burns Several Big Build
ings.

PITTSBuRG, Feb IA long dis
tance telephone message from Harris
burg, Pa. says that serious conna-
grafton broke out In the heart OF the
business district early today and many
buildings have already been destroyed
by fire.
The origin of the fire Is not known.
1t was discovered In the Grand Opera
house, and this building. which Is val
ued at 100000, is entirely destroyed.
The hremen were unable to check the
flames ana in short time the Park
hotel was burning. The Bijou Amusc-
ment Company Hanna's drug store, a
cigar store and several other business
blocks were quickly burned.
At 6 o'clock the fire spread to the
Columbus hotel which Is burning
nercely with no hope of saving It.
AS far as known there are no ia
talities, everybody In the hotel having
had time to get out.
Soon after the fire was discovered
a general alarm was sent out sum-
monlng all the fire apparatus in the
city, Notwithstanding the many
streams Of water being poured on the
flames, the fire Is rapidly spreading
to adjacent property. A strong wind
Is blowing, causing the fire to burn
flercely. At $50 the fire was not un-
der control and the damage is esti-
mated at over $5O00OO.
Later--The fire Is under control. The
damage Is estimated at over a million
dollars.

Japan Has Taken no Official
Step in San Francis
co Matter.
MAYOR GOES TO WASHINGTON
Schmitz With School Board, Superin-
tendent and Assistant City Attor-
ney Go to Place Matter Per-
sonally Before Authorities.

WASHINGTON, Feb 1-Secretary
Root positively refused to make any
statement touching the Japanese
question in its relation to the con-
ference which took place at the White
House Wednesday evening. He does,
however. deny the authenticity of any
published interviews attributed to
him as to the imminence of war, the
state of the treaty negotiations or of
any phase of this subject, which he
for public discussion at this time The
japanese ambassador declined to be
seen this afternoon, but members of
the embassy staff declare he has not
authorized any newspaper statement
on this subject. The fact appears to
be that the statement in press cable
dispatches attributed to Baron Hay
ashi, Japanese minister for foreign af-
fairs, to the effect that in the event
of the courts upholding the San Fran
cisco school authorities, then the mat
ter of discrimination against the Jap
anese, would require diplomatic treat
ment, was in some quarters erroneous
ly attributed to Secretary Root, who
has been put in the position of saying
he had received an ultimatum from
the Japanese minister for foreign af-
fairs. Root denies that he has re-
ceived any such communication, and
careful scrutiny fails to show that
the alleged remark of Hayashi has
ever been Officially made to this govern
ment. 1t was said at the Navy Depart
ment today as an evidence of the
slight Importance attached by naval
officers to the present discussion of
Japanese relations that there is not
the slightest intention on the part of
the department of strengthening the
American naval force on either side
of the Pacific.
A dispatch from San Francisco
says: After conference at the home
