HIS ORDER REVOKED
Governor Hughes Shows He
 Is Supreme.
HENRY MADE TO CANCEL DISCHARGE
New York States New Ruler Objects to Omcial Signing ssby Command of Governor" Without Con-
 sulting Him.


 ALBANY, N. Y.. Jan. Ex-Governor Hughes created a military sensation last night, which is said to be without precedent in recent years at least, by requiring Adjutant General Nelson H. Henry to revoke the special orders is- sued by him which would have permit ted Captain Louis Wendell of the First battery to leave the military service of the state by the acceptance of his res ignation without further investigation of the much discussed charges against him of irregularities in the manage ment of the armory under his charge.
 Adjutant General Nelson H. Henry, by command of Governor Hughes as commander in chief of the military forces of the state, has issued spe- cial order revoking the orders promul- gated by him in which the resignation of Captain Louis Wendell of the First battery of artillery was accepted and discharged him from the military serv- ice of the state and which also dis solved the court of inquiry erected at Captain Wendel's request to inquire into the charges against him of misuse of armory funds and other conduct un- becoming an officer.
 Governor Hughes would make no statement regarding the order nor would General Henry make any com ment.
 The governor and Adjutant General Henry were closeted together for two hours or more, and 1t was admitted that the topic of their conference was the order discharging Captain Wendell and dissolving the court of inquiry.
 General Henry represented to Gov ernor Hughes that the action in the Wendell case was in accord with custo- mary military practice. a mere matter of military routine. Nevertheless, the governor wasn't satisfied.
 He conceded, it is said, that he was only governor and that General Hen ry was good soldier, but even then he could not have an adjutant general hanging around loose "by order of the governor"
 When General Henry left the execu- tive chamber, 1t Is said, he uttered a short, sharp exclamation, as is the mili- tary custom in a mere matter of rou- tine. He was also red in the face,
 General Henry was originally ap- pointed adjutant general by Governor Odell. He has been appointed by ev- cry succeeding administration. He halls from New York.

ford White and Evelyn Nesbit prior to the staying of the architect. Thaw's attorneys probably will not reply to MT. Jerome today, reservIng their opening until the state has finished it's case.
 Two jurors were added to the trial panel, making eleven in all. In an ef- fort to complete the jury the attorneys exhausted the second special panel of talesmen summoned for the trial. A new panel of 100 was ordered for this morning, making 400 ordered for the trial.
 Harry c. Brearley, m advertising agent, thirty-ive years of age and married, was the first talesman to qualify. He took his place as juror No. G. the chair made vacant by the dropping of Harold R. Faire from the jury panel. Mir. Brearley told the att torneys for the defense that he had no prejudice whatsoever against plea of insanity and that in judging such q plea he would be guided by the prin- NipiC VI ohoWihS tuC ucAcuuuut tuc uu- vantage of every reasonable doubt.
 Henry I. Kleinberger, silk mer- chant, forty-two years old and mar ried. the eleventh juror agreed on. said he knew very little about the subject of insanity and would have to be guided by the instructions of the court in arriving at conclusion on such a plea.
 Thaw appeared confident as he arose to face each of the, two jurors while they were being sworn. The manner in which his attorneys continued to dwell upon the subject of insanity in their examination of various talesmen seemed to indicate beyond all reason able doubt that plea of temporary in- sanity, which would be legal defense, will eventually be entered. In develop ing this claim that Thaw was insane at the time of the tragedy the defend ants attorneys may bring in such de tails as they and the prisoner believe will influence the sympathy of the men who may have m undefined belief in the SO called ''unwritten law"

Fur Hat Mode..

The fur hats this season arc Ntt1e fur toques, made preferably of chin. chilla, though they are very hand some made of ermine. They can bo made of any dressy fur, and the only trimming they require is bunch of feathers at the side. These feathers need not be long nor expensive. Three or four little tips with an aigrette in the middle are quite enough. As for the bandeau-for what hat can be worn without 8 bandeau these days- 1t is trimmed with few choux of chiffon, maline or tulle. This flnishes handsome fur hat.
 There are hats that can never by any stretch of style be worn all the year. and woman must expect to replenish them at the close of the season. One is the summer sailor hat, another is the Alpine mountain hat and a third is the fur toque. And to these may be added the garden hat. All others arc for all the year.

 PITTSBURG, Jan. 31.-C. A. Jack son, negro. bleeding from many wounds on his head. Is locked up in the central police station following an exciting and almost successful attempt to lynch him last night by crowd of several hundred persons on First ave nue, between Wood and Market streets, right in the heart of the business dis trict.
 A number of unknown negroes who tried to protect Jackson were roughly used by the mob and quickly disap- peared after a few moments. Several women who were caught in the crush had to be taken to their homes suffer ing from nervous shock.
 The trouble originated directly in front of the Associated Press office. A newsboy asked the negro to buy pa per. Jackson showed him roughly into the street. The boy threw a stone and struck Jackson on the head. The negro jumped to the street and began chok- ing the boy. The street was thronged with men, the incident occurring when many were waiting for street cars to go to their homes.
 In moment several men caught the negro and began beating him. Some one cried, Lynch the nigger" and hundreds of men and boys rushed up on Jackson. Canes, stones, rolled up newspapers and closed fists were the chief weapons used by the mob. Ap- parently every white man on Fifth av- enue wanted to strike the negro.
 Backed up against building, Jack son, trembling with fear, shielded his face with his arms while the crowd beat him and tore his clothes. About this time several other negroes took in the situation and endeavored to pro tect Jackson. Immediately there were cries of Lynch themv and Kill the niggersv'
 Just below Fifth street Jackson ran Into the arms of several policemen. The officers ran Jackson into an alley and attempted to hold back the crowd with their night sticks. They were fast losing ground. however, when a large force of city firemen from near by engine house came to their aid. The police and flremen guarded the en. trance to the alley until the patrol wagon, loaded with officers, responded to riot call.
 Within few minutes the crowd was scattered by the free application of night sticks, and Jackson was taken to the central station. After his wounds were dressed Jackson was locked up on charge of disorderly conduct.
