Additional TaIesmen.

After court adjourned. Judge Stafford,
before whom Mrs. Bradley is to be tried,
directed that one hundred additional
talesmen be impaneled to report We'd
nesday morning. Because the defendant
is woman charged with murder and
because of the wide publicity given the
case 1t is anticipated that considerable
difficulty will be experienced in secur-
ing a jury, hence the large extra panel.
Under the law each side will be en-
titled to twenty peremptory challenges,
and of course. an unlimited number of
challenges for cause" and it was the
realization of the fact that the regular
panel of twenty-six men would speedily
be exhausted in the effort to secure
mutually satisfactory jury which led to
the order by the court for the drawing
of the one hundred additional names.
BY this advance precaution ii is certain
that no unnecessary delay viii occur
when the trial is finally begun We'd
nesday, and it is probable that the jury
will be completed. accepted and sworn
in that one court day.

STOCKHOLDERS
CUT NO FIGURE
Some Remarkable Facts Con-
corning u. S. and Other
Express Companies.

Albany, n. Y, Nov. 11-Albert Board
man. representing the United States
Express company before the public ser
vice commission in the Second district,
today questioned the right of the leg
islature to regulate the powers of the
seven directors of the company, a joint
stock corporation. He contended that
the duties of the board were prescribed
in the articles of the association.
Attorneys for the petitioners said the
board of directors of the express COM
pany was a self-perpetuating body;
that no meeting of stockholders had
been held since 1862 and that although
the board of directors had been re-
quested by a majority of the share
holders to call meeting of the share
holders for the election of directors, il
refused to do so; that the United States
Express company is controlled by the
Adams and American Express COM
panies, and that neither one of the
last two companies has had a meeting
of stockholders in years for the pur-
pose of electing officers.
Officers and Salaries.
Mr.. Kramer also brought out that the
following seven directors of the United
states Express company are Delng paid
$500 a year for serving as directors.
United States Senator T. c. Platt, who
is also president, receiving an annual
salary of S25,O00; II. Crosby, vice pres
ident and secretary, at an annual sal
airy of $4,000; E. T. Plat, treasurer,
for which he receives annually $4,000;
F. H. Platt, who is also counsel to the
company; Frank l.. Stetson, L. C.
Weir and j. c. Fargo.
Chairman Stevens referred to one
section of the articles of association
which provides that no directors of the
United States Express company shall
be interested in a rival company. 1t
was admitted by Mr.. Boardman that
Messrs. Fargo and Weir are officials
of the American and Adams express
companies, respectively. and hold joint
ly 10000 shares Of stock of the United
States Express company.
Community of Interest.
Mr.. Boardman said that all three
companies had a community of inter-
est, and insisted that unless these con-
ditions existed the stock of the United
States Express company and the 9TH
er express companies would be almost
worthless.
1t also developed that according to
the articles of association no trans
fer of stock could be made without the
consent of the directors and that the
board had the right to dissolve the as
ISOLATION if 1t saw fit.

The announcement of the state SUI

that he VIII support Secretary Taft

Foraker, it is believed, to issue the

Foraker does not say that he will

Madison, March 81.
That the candidates for the United
States senate to succeed John c.
Spooner are entirely friendly to each
other was demonstrated yesterday
when they met together in the rooms
of Isaac Stephenson in the Park
hotel. While they would not give out
anything that developed at the con
ference, it was apparent that they en-
tertained the best and most cordial
| feeling one for the other, and there
certainly is no bitterness as yet in the
present complicated canvass for the
senatorship.
What was discussed at the CON
ference and what, if any. agreement
or conclusion was arrived at it is
not known All those who attended
the conference evidently were pledged
TO absolute secrecy, for no intima-
| ton of what occurred has escaped

son and John H. Puelicher of Milwau-
kee, representing Mr.. Stephenson.

Ekern; Congressman H. A. Cooper
and G.. G.. Cuttings of Racine, and Sen
atCr Thomas Morris of La Crosse, rep
resenting Congressman John j. Esch-
Mr. Esch was the only candidate not
present.
The conference was conceived and
called in mystery. 1t was while the
senate chamber was filled to over
flowing with those who had been at
tracted by the fiery discussion over
the Milwaukee school beard bill, that
John H Puelicher, manager of Mr.
StephensOn's campaign, called the
candidates and the managers Of the
various campaigns together at the
Park hotel, The school board hearing
went on in all it's fury, for the ora
tory was noisy and the argument
heated, and the opportunity for hold
ing a conference appealed to Mr..
Puelicher. One by one the candidates
and their managers sauntered leisure
ly over to the Park hotel and up To-
Mr.. Stephensons rooms. When It
came time for the members to re
turn to their respective headquarters,
they sauntered down stairs and
through the hotel lobby, one at time
and without any indication of there
having been a conference.
1t is said that the candidates con
sidered the question of time for hold
ing the election, and it is also said
that Mr.. Stephenson called attention
to the fact that he desires only the
short term and will not be candi-
date for reelection and suggested that
the time might come when all the
other candidates might unite upon to
end long contest.
