the early prediction that the laborers will
oppose Taft is to be verified. Already la
Dor leaders are at work spreading tracts
and circulating copies of the Taft decisions
in the Phelan and other cases, in which
he sent union men to Jail, growing out OF
the Deps strike. Then there are letters in
which the now cabinet member, as receiver
of railroad, gave expression to views on
the question of organized labor. All these
have been gathered by labor leaders, and
are being circulated with telling effect. The
union men are making their own fight. and
are not working with any political organi-
cation. They do not say they are for any
one and are only making their battle cry

THE HOOKER REQUEST.
Uncle Sam to Resist Claims of Rela-
tives in Contest.

BUFFALO,, N. Y, April 13-United
States Attorney Bass today received a let
ter from Attorney General Bonaparte at
Washington in reference to the bequest of
the late Capt. James H. Hooker Of Ironde-
QUOT, near Rochester, to the United States
Of practically all of his property, valued
at about 100000 Capt. Hooker directed
that his farm of 1873 acres near Galesburg,
Ill., be given to the government for a ma
tional park, and that his other property
be sold and the proceeds applied to the
erection of a military academy in the park.
President Roosevelt was named as ex-
ecutor of his estate.
Capt. Hooker left no immediate rela-
tives, but there are about dozen nephews
and nieces who, 1t is said, will contest the
will on the ground that the testator was
of unSound mind
The government. however, is not going
to give up the bequest without a contest,
and the letter of Attorney General Bona
parte to Mr.. Bass directed the latter ito
use efforts to sustain the will and to take
all necessary steps for the preservation
of the property
According to the Department of JUS
tice, the President has no right either to
accept or decline the bequest, but if the
will is sustained the matter must be held
in allegiance until Congress is able to act,
as the bequest is made upon conditions
which Congress alone has power to ratify

ing Mr.. Bryan was greeted by great au-
dience in Cabell Hall, and spoke for nearly
two hours. He discussed Thomas Jeffer-
son and his political philosophy, and in
cidentally put it in vivid contrast with
Hamilton's The vice in Hamilton's plans, he
said was lack of sympathy with the peo
pie at large and his unwillingness to trust
them. Jefferson, for his day. was rich
man, but the money in his pocket did not
color his views of government nor destroy
his sympathy with common people; he
was of the best educated men of his
time, and favored comforting the benefit
of education on the people at large. He
especially disliked the idea of shearing
people Of their power, preferring frequent
appeals to the electorate in order that peo-
Pile could keep their hands on their serv-
ants. While frankly discussing policies,
Mr.. Bryan avoided all personal illusions.
He referred to the California school case,
he said. only to show that the Jeffersonian
way of settling would have been to leave
it in the hands of the people of California.
Mr.. Bryans reception was cordial in the
extreme After his address he was en-
tertained at a banquet by the Delta Chi
Fraternity, after which he left for Wash
ington.

Il hope President Roosevelt will recon-

FoRAKER'S BUSY DAY.
Senator Receives a Host of Cincin-

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star
CINCINNATI, Ohio, April Ex-senator j.
b. Foraker put in a busy day receiving
callers this the second day of his occupancy
of his old political headquarters in his pres
ent contest with Secretary of War Taft for
political supremacy in Ohio. Tonight he
would say nothing AS to the local situation
as so far revealed to him. He would say
nothing of Senator Dicks announced 10y
atty to his cause. He had nothing to say
at all on politics. The senator seems In
excellent spirits and cordially greets all
callers, notwithstanding that he has ire
mendous amount of private business to
transact between calls.
Among his callers today were Editor Max
Burgheim of the Daily Free Press, lead
ing German newspaper of this city, and
Editor w. p. Dabney of the Union, news
paper devoted to the interests of the col
ored race. Editor Burgheim is close per
sonal friend of Boss George B. Cox, and
has held important municipal offices for
many years, and at present is member OF
the board of public safety. Burghem ad-
mitted freely just now that Taft seems to
have some following.
He thought however that avery few
months would very likely see a great re-
vulsion of feeling, and that this coming
marked change would be in favor OF For
aker.
Premature Boom.
He would not say on what grounds he
based this opinion further than that Taft's
candidacy would suffer the same fate that
history had allotted all premature booms.
Charles P. Taft, the Secretary's brother
and POLITICAL manager, had this to say
semi-editorialy in his newspaper today of
senator Dicks announcement: This state
ment. not unexpected, serves to further
ola rifv npliticn1 at
emphasis to the indicated alignment of the
forces. Senators Forakerand Dick will
stand together in opposition to the friends
of Secretary Taft and President Roosevelt's
administration.
In view of Senator Dicks declaration
there will be no further clouding of the
issues"
When seen today Mr. Taft expressed HIM
self as satisfied. nay, delighted with every
phrase of the situation. "Of course. the
local organization will support the Secre-
tary,' said he. "They want to elect their
ticket and there is no other way to do it,"

BRUTAL TREATMENT OF JURORS

The Thaw trial has aroused a
great deal OF adverse comment as to
the treatment OF juries. The opinion
prevails among the members OF the
New York bar that the present
methods are but little short of bar
barous, and should be changed. The
Thaw family are much Disguised
with the array of counsel which the
defendant had during the trial, and it
is reported that there will be clean
sweep OF them, with the possible ex-
ception of Daniel O'Reilly.

NEW YORK. April 13.-The Thaw trial
has suggested forcibly to some members
of the New York bar the need of changes
in our criminal law practice.
Perhaps the most likely field for reform
is the treatment to which the jury in a
murder case is subjected Take the case OF
the Thaw jury. Its members left the court
room at 5:15 Wednesday afternoon, went out
to dinner an hour or so later, returned 10 the
jury room at $50 and did not leave it until
breakfast time next morning. Returning
again, the twelve men remained locked up
until dinner time, when they again went
TO hotel for an hours stay. This was
done the next morning at breakfast time,
and they did not again leave the jury room
until they entered the court room for the
last time. None of the jurors got more
than three or four hours sleep in all the
two days. None of them had his clothes
oil, none of them had bath, and when
they were able to sleep they had 10 do so
on the top of table or sitting up in chairs
Twenty-four hours of this sort of thing Is
enough to reduce the average man to irri-
liability Forty-seven hours of il is enough
TO make the most amiable man nervous.

OF justice, unreasonable and obstinate.

Stupid Treatment.

This feature OF the trial was debated to-
day by man who has occupied most i'm
portant place in the prosecution of Harry
and who viii certainly do so on the second
trial
The manner in which we treat orr
juries, said this man, is nothing less than
stupid-criminaIly stupid. 1t is the result
OF long years of custom. and l can very well
understand why presiding judge should
hesitate about starting any innovations in
this line. You know there is for the aver

From the prosecution there was little. Dis
trict Attorney jerome went to his home
at IakeVille, Conn, for a rest until We'd
nesday. He reiterated his statement that
he will oppose any application for bail
for Thaw, and he thinks his grounds for
doing so. based on the standing of the jury
and the way they reasoned, will convince
any supreme court justice that Thaw
should not be released. Until there is some
move made by the lawyers representing
None of the lawyers who have been
speaking for Thaw would say what they
intended to do. Clifford w. Hartridge
who has been attorney of record, said it
was too early to talk about an application
for bail for Thaw. He said he was still
attorney of record for Thaw, but he de-
clined to make any comment on whether
he expected to continue to act in the same
capacity. On the question of bail, he said
a number of things had to be considered
The lawyers were all too tired to discuss
the subject until they had had a rest. 1t
was noticed that Lawyer O'Reilly did not
think il worth while today to pay any at
tention TO the views of the other lawyers
O'Reilly remarked that he expected that
an application for bail for Thaw would
be made by next Wednesday.
