JURORS PRISONERS
Severe Rulings by Judge in Thaw
Case Works Hardship.
CAUSES MANY TO AVOID DUTY
Only Exercise viii Be the Little Walk
Twice Daily Between the Broad.
way Central Hotel and the
Courthouse, Under Guard.

NEW YORK, Jan. 26,-Three days
of the trial of Harry Thaw have passed
and the net work of all this time has
been the selection Of seven jurors. To
get those seven jurors 101 talesmen,
half Of the panel drawn have been ex-
amined.
While the lawyers engaged have got
so the examination of the talesmen
consumes less time than was taken
In the early stages of the trial the
talesmen themselves have become more
wary, apparently. and the excuses put
forward for not serving are varied
and ingenious. 1t is possible that the
remaining five jurors needed will be
found in the 100 talesmen still await
ing examination, but If yesterdays
proceedings are forerGnner it is
doubtful Fifty were examined yester-
day and out Of this number two were
secured. Five were drawn from the
first so talesmen examined.
The reason for the general desire
not to serve is probably found in the
order Of Justice Fitzgerald, practically
locking up the jurymen from time to
time they are drawn until the trial is
over. This is an unusual proceeding
and as most Of the talesmen are active
business men it involves possible A.
nancial loss besides the hardship.
About the only physical exercise
the jurymen selected enjoy now or are
likely 10 enjoy for some time is the
little walk twice daily accompanied by
court officers to and from the Broad
way Central Hotel and the courthouse. (
These men are practically prisoners. /
They dine together and then spend the
evening in chatting until they retire.

Every letter that is sent to the jurors
Is opened and read by Police Captain

sonal charge of the Jurymen, This Is

censorship, Even the books and mag
aGines are subjected to the same sort
Of scrutiny.
The men are comfortably housed at
the hotel. seventeen rooms with baths
and Il private dining room having been
engaged for them. The jurors SO far
selected are accepting the situation
in philosophical spirit and with the
utmost good nature.
The plans of the defense while they
have not definitely developed are still
believed to be those which have been
gnrally prophesied--emotlonal lnsan-
ity and an appeal TO the so-called
Higher" law. only the faintest indi-
cation in this direction has appeared
in the trial so far and that was yes
terday, when Clifford w Har,ridge,
chief counsel for Thaw asked a pros
pective juror this question:
Would you take into consideration
all the evidence tending TO show the
conditions of this mans (Thaw) mind
at the time Of the killing OF Stanford
White?"
There were rumors In the court |
yesterday that there had been a SER
ious disagreement among the members
Of ten Thaw family The reports start
ed when Harry Thaw's wife and Miss
Mae Mckenzie. her constant compan-
ion, arrived at the court room some
time before Mrs. William Thaw and
Mrs. Carnegie, mother and sister OF
the prisoner. The gossip was intend
ed when 1t was noted that though !
Mrs William Thaw sat near daughter
in law, the two apparently took no no.
tice of each other all day.
Lawyer Hartridge, when his atten-
ton vas called to the gossip, took oc-
casiOn to deny that there had been
any disagreement between members
Of III clients family.

GERMAN CAR SHORTAGE.
Government Ownership Of Railroads
Does Not Prevent Difficulty.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 2G.-Consul J.
l. Britain United States consul at
Kehl, Germany, reports that there has
for many months been a serious car
shortage in Germany. All the rail
roads there are owned and operated
by the government. Mr.. Britain says.
in a report to the State Department:
The greatest cause Of the scarcity
(of cars) is the extraordinary activity
in the iron and steel industry. For
the first half of 1906 nearly 100000
more cars Of coal, coke and patent fuel
were delivered by the syndicate than
during the corresponding period Of
last year, and the daily dispatch Of
cars has frequently exceeded 21,0OO In
number.
"The Prussian State Railway author
tiles have been severely criticised in
consequence Of the shortage of railway
cars. Thus, during June, although
221, ,991 more cars were available than
in June, 1906, the shortage amounted
to nearly 1000 cars day. But, on the
other hand, it is questioned, even with
this shortage made good, 1t would
have been possible to satisfy the de-
mand.
The market scarcity Of cars at this
time Of the year is all the more dis
quieting, since the farmers will short
ly be drawing heavily upon all avail |
able railway rolling stock to move
agricultural produce. The result Of
this deficit in the number Of cars sup
piled has been that in several collleries
the miners have been compelled tenn
porarily to stop work, a measure which
in these days Of high wages is cost
ly matter"

NEW YORK, Jan, 2G.--Henry NJ.
Hamilton, who died at his nome near

phia & Reading, as the result Of a
fight against the Pennsylvania Rail-
road. At the time the Pennsylvania
Railroad had a monoply Of the busl-
ness between New York and Phila-
delphia, and Mr.. Hamilton had an idea
that New Jersey ought to have a com
peting railroad. He began to organ
ize a company to build a road from
Bound Brook to Philadelphia to be
known as the Delaware & Bound
Brook Railroad. All the power OF the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company was
exerted to defeat Mr.. Hamilton, AMI
he succeeded In getting charter and
later he got charters for several other
companies, which were consolidated
and became known az the PhiladeIphia
& Reading Railroad Company. The
road was finished in 1876 and was
opened in time for the Centennial Gel
ebration In Philadelphia. Mr.. Haml- |

RAGE FOR KHAKI.

Khaki. all the different shades of
the color Worn by the soldiers in the
South African war, has taken II new
hold upon the women of fashion and
IS as much a fayorite as We're the
golden browns of spring One would
not imagine that there could be SO
many different shades of so insignifi-
cant q color. Sometimes raw. some
times bfaZen, and again indistinct of
tone, it takes expert handling to be
made into the exquisite creations over
Which the fashionable world is raving.
One of the smartest specimens of
khaki silk was trimmed With pipings
OF delicate green silk and q heavy
linen lace. h;nona coats of khaki
silk are stitched with fancy embroid-
cries and some OF tho long models
are taken as an excuse for the ems
ploynent OF quantities of handsome
lace in white and neutral tints.
Both the khaki fabrics and the jap
anese lines in fashion are so good and
oriental in effect, that it is not sur
prising the Parisiennes employ them
in the choice morscls of the midsun-
mer wardrobe.
In spite of the nattering attention
paid TO khaki and everything sugges-
tive of brown, one cannot pass UNI
noticed the exquisite shades of green,
the newest of which is gooseberry--
Il dainty whitish green, as cool and
refreshing az the :roverbial cucumber.
Gcoseberry net is very nicely adapted

and buds worked in various shades Of
green and touched With silver.

STYLISH CG.FFURES.

The Parisieine considers il as import
ant that the couture should be in keep
ing With the frock and occasion as for
the hat TO become IL faut. Although
the marcel-wayed pompadour stll leads
in hairdressing styles, there is Il great
difference between the coiffures for
morning and those for afternoon and
evening For morning and outdoor
sports the simple, low coffures are best
liked. The high couture is almost ex-
clusiVely affected for afternoons and
it gives better play for the I-ompadour,
While curls and puffs are permissible.
The polnpadours still show a slight dip
over the forehead and are sometimes
parted these paintings Offering a con-
venient rest for the little curls which
are SO popular.
The approvea0Aplor for hair just now,
is chestnut of all shades. In sympathy
With the vogue for golden and russell
browns.
For evening, any amount Of elabora-
ton is seen and marcel waving, curls,
coils and puffs are combined by the
really artistic llai1dresser into the most
beautiful and intricate coiffures.
IL really takes an expert to tell of all
the various kinds of puffs and curls
used in modern hairlressing There are
pompadour switches. Roman braids.
pin curtis. turban puffs, coronet braids.
and science knows what not Being
made of the best quality Of human hair
these are Very expensive.
Hair decorations are legion and built
upon entirely new lines. Large broad
combs, pins, and bands. made of tor
| toise or various fashionable metals are
used for the high couture of afternoon
and evening. Tortoise is most appro-
| pirate for day wear, but there is no

into the combs and pins that are re-
