ADJUSTMENT OF CONTENTION
-cLEMENcEAu OBJECTS.

Paris, Jan. 81. THE existence Of the
cabinet is believed to be in danger as
the result of clash in the chamber
of deputies last night between Premier
.Clemenceau and Minister OF Education
BRAND While the incident was super
ficially smoothed over 1t is learned
that it was the result of radical di-
.vergence of views regarding the modus
vivendi proposition of the French bish-
ops NJ BRAND like his chief, regards
the proposition as being unacceptable
in it's present form, but the former be-
lieves that war with the church has
gone far enough and that IL ii is pos
sible TO reach an adjustment, the door
OF, conciliation should not be closed.
BRAND takes the position that negotia-
tions with the French bishops would
not lay the government open to the
charge of admitting itself In the wrong
and that In any event the government
should pause for the purpose of dem
onstrating to the country whether the
church Is sincere in its desire to effect
a working arrangement M. Clemen-
oeau, on the other hand, as indicated
by his remarks last night, fatty rejects
even the discussion Of the bishops
proposition and favors immediate is
suance of a circular to the projects
notifying them that conditions which
the parish priests are authorized to
propose are entirely unacceptable.

BRANCH POINTS SUFFER.
Hill Says Everything Is Being Done to

Washington, Jan. s1.-A long dis
patch from L. Fl. Hill, a son of Presi-
dent Hill of the Great Northern rail-
road, regarding fuel shortage condi-
tons in North Dakota came to the
interstate commerce commission. Mr.
Hill said he had just returned from the
snowbound district. Maxbass and
other branch points are suffering for

is being done TO open the line. Mr.

Another Sensation Sprung
in the Thaw Trial
BOTH men ARE UNMARRIED
PLACES IN THE JURY BOX WERE
QUICKLY FILLED AND LATE
THIS AFTERNOON ONLY ONE
VACANT CHAIR REMAINED
THAW FAMILY PRESENT.

New York, Jan. 31.--Another sensa-
ton was sprung in the Thaw murder
trial today when two more Jurors were
summarily excused by the court from
further service In the case.
No reason for the action was stated
in court. The simple announcement by
District Attorney Jerome was to the
effect that the counsel for the state
and the counsel for the defense had
agreed at conference this morning
to dismiss Jurors David B. Walker ana
Louis Haas, both unmarried. The loss
of the two sworn jurors was offset be-
fore the luncheon recess was ordered
by the selection of new men. leaving
but one vacant chair in the trial panel
TO be filed this afternoon. The new
Jurors are Oscar A. Pink, salesman,
who replaced Walker, and Wilbur
Steele, manufacturer, who succeeded
Haas Both new men are married
When the two jurors were dismissed
this morning Justice Fitzgerald or
dered that another new panel OF tales
men should be summoned for tomor-
row morning, but the rapidity with
which the places made vacant are filled
indicates that the jury may be COM
pleted before the final adjournment
today.
Every member Of the Thaw family
was present today in anticipation OF
the completion of the jury and OF the
opening Of the prosecutions case.
During the noon recess OF the court
another conference OF attorneys was
held with the court and 1t was said an
other juror would be excused, but when
the court convened Jerome returned
to his seat In rather moody frame OF
mind. II was evident his plan had
been blocked. Two more jurors were
examined and Jerome was forced to
challenge the second and
then the conference with the court was
held without the court leaving the
bench. This followed the resurn OF AS
sistant District Attorney Caravans from
o hasty mission on which he had been
sent by Jerome.

HE ASSAILED
The PRESIDENT
SENATOR RAYNER DENouNcEs
ACTION OF ROOSEVELT.
Maryland Senator in Speech Before the
Senate Critically Reviews What He
Terms the Presidents usurpation Of
!, Governmental Functions.

Washington, Jan. Disclalming
any intention of "assailing" President
Roosevelt. and protesting for him pro-
found personal esteem. Senator Rayner
OF Maryland today addressed the SEN
ate at considerable length in critical
review Of what he termed the presi-
dents usurpation Of governmental
functions not conferred on him by the
constitution
He first alluded 10 the recent speech
Of Secretary Root in which was de-
seribed the gradual enlargement of
federal power at the expense of the
states.
Before reviewing the specific actions
of the president which met his criti-
cism, Mr.. Rayner remarked, "the pres
ident is laboring under the honest inn
preston that he is responsible to the
country for the legislation of congress"
The first instance OF Conflict" be-
tween the executive and legislative
functions Mr.. Rayner said, was In the
Santo Domingo affair, in which he
said, "the president has evidently made
his own treaty" He then turned his
attention to the Judiciary, announcing
his belief that this branch of the gov
eminent ought to be entirely free from
executive interference.
Mr.. Rayner then pronounced his dis
approval of the president for his Gin
trusion" upon the states, taking for
example the note Of the president to
Governor Guild Of Massachusetts. in
which the course of the, governor was
commended in refusing to interfere I'm
the carrying out OF the death sentence
against Charles l.. Tucker.
The Schley case was then reviewed
by the speaker, who went into the sub
ject at considerable length, particu-
larly with reference to the presidents
action in the matter. He predicted
that the Schley case would yet be re-
opened just as a similar case had re-
Gently been in another land. Admiral

heard"
The result of the presidents con-
stFuctlon of his prerogatives, Mr.. Ray
ner said, had raised a new school of
scribes who had commenced to edit a
revised edition of the constitution call
ed "the unwritten constitution"
Senator Lodge briefly replied to
Senator Rayner's speech. He de-
clared nothing the president had ever
said had gone so far towards advo-
eating revolution in our system of gov
ernment as Bryan's declaration for
government ownership of railroads.

LARGE TRANSFORMER
PUT IN BY COMP ANY.
Electric Plant Being Worked
Nearly to Capacity.

The Americas Lighting and Power
Company has put large transform
er in front of the Times Recorder Of
flee, substituting it for smaller one
there This increases the power
available for that section of the city.
The electric lighting plant is be-
ing worked nearly up to its capacity
at this time.
Every year has seen an extension
of the city's electrical requirements.
1t has been apparent for a year or
two that the time was approaching
when it would be necessary either
to put in an entirely new plant or
to greatly extend the old one. 1t is
probable that but for the advent of
the new company it would have been
necessary for the old concern to
have arranged to improve it's plant
considerably within the next twelve
months to meet the actual consump-
tive requirements of Americas.
While no work is being done at this
time on the new plant it is generally
known that the delay has been caus-
ed in part by the death of Mr., Har
rold and then by causes that could
not be expedited any more than they
have been.
The new plant will furnish a higher
grade of electric lights than are at
present secured. There seems to be
no doubt that its business will show
a decided increase over that done by
the old company and that electricity
as a lighting medium will be more
and more resorted to in stores and
homes.
