TWO JURORS NAMED
TO TRY IHAW CASE
The Women Friends of the Defendant
Having Been ReportorialIy Inspect
ed the Trial May Proceed.

New York. Jan. 23-The long await
ed trial of Harry X. Thaw for the MUIR
der Of Stanford White began here to-
day before Justice Fitzgerald. Two
Jurors were secured as the result of
the days work. out of 200 talesmen
rine:ten were examined. Three sue
cessCdlly passed the rapid fire OF ques-
tons Of the opposing counsel but one
was afterward excused by the, court
after making private representations
concerning the case. The court will
resume the choosing tomorrow. Nearly
ali examined seemed anxious to serve,
challenges in nearly every case of a
peremptory character were nearly
evenly divided between the prosecution
and the defense.
The examination was followed with
keen interest as it was thought the line
of questioning by the attorneys for
Thaw would develop the character OF
the defense. In this there was disap-
pointment. The defendants counsel
seemed willing to accept any proposed
juror who satisfactorily answered the
questions put to him by District At
tOrney Jerome asking each If he would
be Influenced by the so-called higher or
unwritten law, to the exclusion of the
actual laws of the state as they would
be laid down by Justice Fitzgerald. on
the question Of insanity as excuse for
the crime jerome explained to each
talesman that the law excused only
those persons who labored under such
defective reason as not to know the ma
ture or quality Of the act committed. or
even knew the act was wrong. The
talesmen said in this too, they would
be guided solely by the courts order.
The usual percentage of talesmen
who have conscientious scruples
against capital punishment was miss
ing today. on the other hand every
talesman examined said he had formed
or expressed an opinion. All said that
their opinions were based on newspap-
er reports and these had been so con-
ficting as to make their opinions sus-
ceptible of change by evidence.
The talesmen were asked if they
knew Thaw's friends or White or any
one connected with the case. They
were asked whether they were at Madi-
son Square garden the night of the
tragedy. If they had friends in Pitts
burg or il sympathy or emOptions
would effect their fair minded judg
ment.
Thaw sat during the day at a table
set apart for his counsel At times he
seemed to take interest In the exami-
nation Of the men summoned. Again
he would sit listless. His face was
pallid doubtless due to his confine-
ment. Just behind the prisoner sat the
members OF the family. They greeted
the prisoner with smiles MS. VIM.

Seattle, Jan. 23.-That the North

was the principal defense put forward
to the condition of freight congestion
that exists on the Sound, by 9. w
Levy. third vice president and b. r.
Palmer. assistant general superintend
ent at the investigation before Inter
state Commissioner Lane today. Mr.
Levy said that the road had contract
ed Tor Improvements which were eth
er under way or soon would be. ad
ditional equipment which would mean
the expenditure b. the Northern Pa
cific Of seveaty-threc million dollars
in the next year and half. Mr.. Pal
mer made the statement that Oaly
% per cent Of the coast traffic Of the
Northern Pacific went east of Spokane
and that the installation Of double
trackage on the west end Of the road
would do much to relieve the situa-
ion. The completion of the Portland
Seattle division will rive the Northern
Pacific two tracks from Spokane to

BRITISH ADMISSION
OF DISCOURIESY
While Swettenham May Have Been
Within His Rights His Manner Was
No. Justified.


London. Jan. 23-The colonial Office
now has official advices from Cover
nor Swettenham concerning the ex-
change of letters between himself and
Admiral Davis. The extent of the ad-
vices and whether they contain an ex-
PLANTATION, apology or eXtenuating cir
cumstances have not been disclosed. 1t
appears that the imperial authorities
requested the Governor of Jamaica to
send a copy OF the letter to Admiral
Davis This as now furnished shows
that the letter as sent out by the As
ISOLATED Press was to all intents cor
rect. 1t was learned that the secretary
for the colonies. Lord Elgin. sent a
second cablegram to the governor ask
ing him to give his version of the af-
fair. No answer has yet been received.
]. r. Carter, the American charge.
called at the foreign office tonight ana
received the same explanation of the
situation as given the American papers.
The fact that Swettenham wrote the
letter to Davis. having been estab-
Iished. there remains only to deter
mine the official formaiities and the
be handled through the usual diplo-
matte channels The discussion of the
incident shows that the British view
makes it clear that the differences
were between Swettenham's opposi-
ton to the presence of the foreign
force on Jamaica soil and his manner
of expressing that opposition.
What is condemned is the tone OF
the letter to Davis. The foreign office
has declared that there was mo eX-
cuss for such language from an offic-
ial to an officer of a friendly nation
engaged in work of humanity" and
the press and public are adopting sub
stantially a similar view. Beyond
question. whether or not Swettenham
was justified in asking Davis to with
draw the armed force from the island.
the British opinion inclines that SWEET
tenham clearly acted within his rights
although many persons contend that
abnormal conditions should have in
duced the governor to waive ceremo-
ny.
