FACED A JURY
TO-DAY CHARGED
WITH MURDER

Boston, July 15.-Charged with the
murder OF Benjamin Farwell Robert
McGraw. a colored man of about As
years. was placed on trial before Jus
tices Fessenden and White in the su-
perior criminal court today. McGraw
pleaded not guilty to the charge and
the work OF empanelling a jury was
begun at once. The first IL members
of the panel had been selected by noon.
The death OF Farwell occurred on
April 25. 1904. McGraw was the watch
man at the factory OF the American
Steam Guage and Valve company in
the South End district, and he shot
Farwell when the latter was trying to
enter the building at night. Farwell
was an engineer employed at the plant
during the daytime.
After making what at that time was
considered satisfactory explanation,
namely that he thought Farwell was a
burglar. McGraw was discharged from
custody. Several months later evidence
was placed before the grand jury in
connection with the case. and after the
jury had finished it's consideration OF
the case McGraw was indicted for mur-
der in the first degree.

believe the people should be permitted 10
enjoy themselves during that week OF
celebration to the full limit within which
they do not interfere with the enjoyment
OF other healthy citizens. but 1 stated
distinctly that no law-breaking would be
permitted.

but the bars are let down TO some extent
on the Fourth because of its peculiarly
patriotic character.
Nobody anticipates any such noisy cell
ebration during any Old Home Week day
as we have on the Fourth, though. / un-
derstand from the chief OF police and
other citizens that that the last Fourth
was comparatively quiet"
In this view the chairman OF the board
OF police commissioners was borne out by
many citizens who were seen today.
People don't have enough money to
spend TO make a week OF Fourths Of
July" said one citizen today, whether
they wished 10 do so or not. Talk, there
fore. OF a week OF such noise as the pa =
triots make on the day OF days in Amer
lean celebrations Is pure nonsense"
The police board will meet tomorrow In
regular weekly session, and II Is possi-
BILE that some action will be taken TO re-
assure those exceedingly nervous individ-
uals who object TO the explosions of load
ed canes. blowing OF horns and placing OF
torpedoes and dynamite caps on street car

The popular celebration OF Old Home
Week Will not be permitted to become as
hilarious as was the Fourth of July, de-
spite the conception that seems to prevail
among some fireworks dealers that there
will be unbrldled license for those who
purchase such ear-racking wares as were
left over from the Fourth.
Chairman William IL Luther OF the po-
lice commission. who announced few
days ago that the police regulations
which are promulgated every Fourth OF
July would obtain during Old Home
Week. stated today that he did not mean
by that statement TO imply that anything
not lawful would be permitted during the
week in question.
I'VE have no control over the issuance
of licenses 10 sell fireworks and other
things that tend TO make the Fourth
disagreeable to some people" he said to-
day. The board OF aldermen in the ex-
ercse OF authority conferred upon II by
law. has that prerogative exclusively. II
a license is recommended by the fire COM
,ynissioners the board generally grants It..
Ind such license is good for one year
from date of issue This means that no
action is required by the board OF police
commissioners other than TO see that ex-
listing ordinances are enforced, whether
the day is the Fourth OF July or any
number of days during Old Home Week
or any other week.

VERDICT TO-DAY
WAS REDUCED
TO s4,500.00

Judge Stearns handed down a de-
cision in the superior court today in
the case OF Herbert Heath pro ami
against william Cook. A new trial is
granted the defendant unless the
plaintiff remit all OF a verdict for
$1,000 save $4,000
Judge Stearns, in the course OF a
rescript filed with the papers, says:
The plaintiff. boy l6 years old. was
injured some two years ago in a
collision caused by the negligent
operation OF an automobile driven by
the defendant. in consequence OF which
the plaintiff was thrown from his
bicycle on which he was riding and
seriously injured. In the opinion OF
the court there is sufficient evidence
10 sustain the findins or the jury that
the defendant was responsible for the
collision, and the defendant is not en-
Titled to new trial on the ground
OF newly discovered evidence
"A more serious question however. is
raised by the defendant by his claim that
the damages are excessive At the trial
the defendant submitted no evidence on
the question OF the extent of the boys in
Juries. and an examination OF the medi-
cal testimony presented by the plain
TN shows that the boy. as a result OF the
accident, sustained a compound fracture
OF the shin bone; that he was in the hos.
pital about IA weeks. The boy now wears
brace. and the injured leg is three
fourths OF an inch longer than the other
leg. but the pelvis tilts Sc that there is no
interference with his gait: that there has
been good bony union OF the fracture
and the support he receives from the In
Jured leg ia probably as good as II ever
was. but there IL now this element OF
danger that such bones do frequently
break down where the patient contracts
any debilitating disease; that ut the pres
ent time the boy stands upon his feet
squnrely without brace. but ~ he should
leave off the brace there In a tendency for
the feet TO turn out. so he would walk In
little while upon the edge OF his foot.

of all the oiroums tances, that the amount
OF damages is excessive, and that the
sum OF $500 In fair compensation for
the injury suffered"

Driven to Extremities, Extraordinary
Meeting of the Present General

deavOr to Elect WetmOre United
States Senator. 1t would, How

Republicans.

An extraordinary session of the present
general assembly 10 elect Wetmore United
States senator2
The departure OF Gov James III. Higgins
last Saturday for Maine, where he will
spend the rest OF the month In fishing for
bass and enjoying himself generally dur
ing his respite from business cares. has
set some OF the politicians to discussing
what might take place during his absence.
Those who could believe anything OF the
old Republican state machine, say that IL
would be just like that organization. II
II could bring the deal of, TO have a
special session OF the general assembly

sion; that II the lieutenant governor

who now becomes the party candidate, he
could and would be chosen, they say, at
such extraordinary session. and would
serve the full six years so far as any law
90 the contrary could be cited.
The present Legislature was elected,
thoy say, To serve year, and the legis-
lators are the general assembly OF the
state until their successors are elected and

Why. they argue. should tho Rspubli-
cans walt for the uncertain popular YER

1T could be done, OF course" said a
leading Democrat this afternoon, but the
Republicans would not dare to try IL. II
would give them the United States sena-
torship, but with an election coming on

A prominent Republican said: IF an
