Washington May 24.-(special)-Col. L. F. Livingston of Georgia, on his return to Washington today to assist in the investigat ton into the methods of the cot ton exchanges of the country being made by the bureau of corporations. declared to the President by the middle of July or the first of August.
 We are sure to win our fight" he said, land bring the exchanges back to legit- innate method of doing business, which will mean a reform in their present con- tracts"

Seven More Jurors in HaV-
 wood Trial
ONE STANDS BY PRESIDENT
Former Read Roosevelt's Letter-ls First to Stand By "Undeslrable
 Citizen'-TWenty-six Left q of Last Venire.

Bo' ,xn ho, May 24-The second spe- eia' X eS. of talesmen in the Steunenberg ID Q ase is proving barren of men ; to act as jurors. Unless the
 q Q nown- by the first half of them Is e,Ie,.Ssed in the second half there must mother special venire.
 ne first half gave only one man who J tually qualified and only one more who nay qualify. The rest went down for fixed opinion or bias of various forms. Only twenty-six of this venire remained, and on the assumption that all perempt- ory challenges will be used, seven more jurors must be found.
 In the procession of the disqualified that passed through Judge Woods court to- day, came the first man since the trial began who unqualihedly stands by Presi- dent Roosevelt and his utterances as to Mover Haywood and Pettibone. He Is w. B. Teeter. a farmer. and long ago a member of the Knights of Labor. He came to the stand late In the afternoon, and the states examination barely quail fled him because he had certain amount of prejudice against labor unions of any kind or combinations designed to fix prices, was unfrendly to the Western Federation of Miners and against social ism He made distinction between the federation and members of the federa- ton and between socialism and socialists, however, and finally the state passed him.
 At several points in the examination by the defense there were indications that Teeter's answers would give cause for challenge, but he crossed all the thin ice down to the questions of the letters of President Roosevelt. In answer to ques- ton he said that he had read the letters of President Roosevelt, in which the pris- oner was characterized IS an undesirable citizen. Mir Richardson snapped ques- tion about the Czar of Russia approv- ing the attitude of President Roosevelt, but the state excluded it with an objec- tion MT. Richardson then asked the talesman if he thought the prisoner had been guilty of melting riot and was an undesirable citizen, and got an affirma- tive reply.
 The court sustained the challenge of the defense and MT. Teeter walked the plank of bias.
 Early in the morning Henry Curtis quail flied for one vacant seat, the defense examined and passed John Whitlock. That opened the way for peremptory chal- lenges again The state challenged Isaac Bedell seat No. 2. and there the pro- ceedings halted. Nineteen talesmen occu- pied the chair during the day, and the only person who may stay in it Is Finlay Mclean, who reached it late this after noon He satisfied the state that he Is qualified to act and just as adjournment was ordered passed to the hands of the defense.
 Counsel for the state today indicated a desire to limit the defense's examination, but the court kept to It's early purpose to allow all possible latitude.
 More women came into the court room than on any other day, andat one time there were more than twenty in the room.
 The trial will be resumed tomorrow morning.

PETTUS DISGUSTED
 WITH BROWNSVILLE
"DAM MUM ABsoNE lNJURIA," SAYS ALABAMA SENATOR-DE- cLARES IT IS ALL ROBUSTNESS
 THIS HooT-UP INVESTIGATION.

Washington. May 2f-(Special )--Sena- tor Pettus of Alabama, who will be S6 in a month or two, has forgotten very lit tie of the Latin he learned over three score years ago, and not infrequently makes use of it. He walked out of the White House this morning, where he had been to ask the President to promote Col. William H. Miller of Alabama to the quartermaster generalship, succeeding Gen. I. Humphreys, mad said to the news paper men:
 Tt is all dam mum absque injuria."
 General Pettus had just hurried down from the capitol in time to make the White House calling hours and did not attempt to conceal his impatience- with the Brownsville inquiry which is detain- ing him in Washington. When asked about it, he said:
 ''I am getting mighty tired of the whole thing, and I told the President so. We can do nothing more than give our opn- ion, and that is not worth any more than the opinion of Bill Jones or any other man. The Senate can do nothing with the actions of the President. If he trans gresses the law or violates the constitu- ton it is provided that he shall be dealt with by the House."
 The senator departed leaving the Latin phrase untranslated. Secretary Taft came along about that time, and gave it up, pleading the reporters pronunciation as an excuse. Attorney General Bonaparte, however, saved the day, and translated the venerable senator's reference to the discharge of the negro trops as "A loss without an injury"
