Knox Favored.

Because Senator Knox Of Pennsyl-

Senator Spooner as chairman of the
Committee on Rules, has the undivided
admiration OF his colleagues, is a ready
debater and d lawyer Of recognized emil
nence. there is a general impression
that the mantle of leadership will fall
upon his shoulders. Yet Mr.. Knox his
friends declare, Is a serious candidate
for the Presidential nomination, and
has not been pleased with the attitude
of the White House toward his boom
and those of other possible candidates
It Is conceivable that occasions might
arise when It might be embarrassing to
Mr. Knox TO be called upon TO explain
the position Of the Administration, or to
defend some one of its actions, which
he would have to do as the leader and
mouthpiece Of the party. and to find
himself either entirely out of sympathy

APPOINTMENT
OF BENNETT
DESERVED
Senator Hansbrough Expre.se.
Himself as Pleased with Mil
ton Mans Success
BENNETT WAS BORN
IN FAR-OFF CHILL
Ran Newspaper at Milton and
Served at One Time in State
Legislature
(By E. c. sayderJ

Washington. d. c., March 22.-"The
appointment of Hon. Fred bennett, as
assistant commissioner of the general
land office, is very great compliment
to most deserving man." said Sen
ator Hansbrough today in discussing
this appointment with the Evening
Times Washington correspondent.
Mr.. bennett went to North Dakota
in 1888 and located at Milton, where
he engaged in the publication of a
newspaper Mr.. bennett was born in
Chilli of English parents, his father
being an Episcopal minister. Being a
man of most exemplary habits, en-
dowed with good education, he soon
made his way to the front and in 1890
he was elected to the legislature from
Cavalier county.
In the senatorial contest at Bis
marck in 1891. Mr.. bennett allied him
self with the friends of Senator Hans
brough and assisted in his election.
The senator recognized in the young
Englishman those sterling qualities
which are essential to successful pub
lie life. and when the senatorial con-
test had closed, he offered Mr.. Den
nett the post of secretary. conditioned
upon his acquiring a knowledge of
stenography and typewriting. This
MIR. bennett accomplished during the
summer, and when congress convened
he took his place at Washington with
the senator and remained with him
for thirteen years.
Meantime he studied law, graduated
with high honors from Columbian uni
versity, now the George Washington
university. He became very proficient
in public land matters and this COM
mended him strongly to the interior
department.
About two years ago he was offered
the position of field agent Of the gen.
eral land Office and was placed in
charge of the state of Washington,
with headquarters at Seattle. So we'll
and thoroughly did he perform the
duties of this Office that he became
known to the department in a very
short time as one of the very best
men in the service. 1t was there also
that he became acquainted with Judge
Ballinger, who recently became COM
missioner of the general land Office.
duties of his new position he recog-
u1LCO IuC uCCSSSAIy VI q COupcCcuL dSs
sistant in his Office and at once decided
to ask Mr.. bennett to become his
assistant. Mr.. bennett was according
ly called to Washington for a confer
ence. He did not know the nature
of the business upon which Judge
Ballinger desired to consult with him
but upon his arrival at the capital
was informed by the judge that he
wanted him to take the position of as
sistant commissioner and help him put
the Office on working basis. Mr..
bennett is therefore the personal
selection of Judge Ballinger. The
North Dakota senator's were very
much pleased to give their assent to
his appointment. Mr.. Dennett en-
tered at once upon his duties as as
sistant commissioner and will proba-
bly, remove his family to the nations
capitol at an early date.

Detroit, Mich, March 22.-Two peo-
pie were fatally injured and nine
others, all girls, were more or less
seriously hurt today, when south
bound Fourteenth avenue street car
was struck at the Fourteenth avenue
crossing by a Michigan Central rail-
way train. The fatally injured:
JAMES 8. G. SMITH, aged IS years.
MISS CHARLOTTEE MARTIN, Ma
son City, Mich.
There were twenty-five passengers
on the car, a majority of them girls on
their way to business. The car stop
ped at the railroad crossing and the
conductor ran ahead as usual, but ap-
parently did not see the approaching
train. The view up the track is some-
what obscured by nearby buildings.
Just after the car passed under the
gates and on the crossing, the gate
man sighted the approaching train
and lowered his gates, but the car
was already on the track.
Engineer Smith of the train says
that he did not see the street car until
he was within Is feet of it. He in
stantly applied his brakes, but the
distance was too short to stop the
train. 1t struck the car which had
stopped, in the middle, splitting 1t in
two and throwing the wreckage fifty
feet away, against a trolley pole.

THAW JURORS
EXCUSED TILL
WEDNESDAY
Justice Fitzgerald Made the An
nouncement at Ten O'clock
This Morning
THEY WITHDREW
IMMEDIATELY
Court Will Inform Attorneys BY
Monday on Lunacy Com
mission Matter

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
New York, March 22.-The Thaw
jury was brought before Justice Fitz-
gerald in the supreme court today and
told they need not attend the trial
again until Wednesday morning. In
the meantime Justice Fitzgerald said
he would receive affidavits from the
defense in answer to the suggestion
of District Attorney Jerome that
Harry K. Thaw. on trial for the mur-
der of Stanford White, is at the pres
ent time in condition of mental un-
soundness which makes him incapable
OF advising his counsel, or understand
ing the proceedings against him.
Justice Fitzgerald has designated
tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock as
the time for the defense to present
its affidavits in the clerks office. He
stated today that the district attorney
might have until Monday to make a
response to the showing of the de-
fense
Clifford Hartridge. of Thaw's coun-
sci, stated today that the affidavits
to be presented in Thaw's behalf will
state that Thaw at the present is able
to advise his counsel and fully UNDER
stand the proceedings against him.
That is all the law requires us to
say" said the attorney. "It is not
a question as to whether he is of un-
sound mind at all. only the question
at issue is whether or not he under
stands the proceedings against him."
