"RUFUS RASTUS" WINNER
Little Eddie King, with that Song,
Won First Prize at the Phillips
Last Night.

Following the regular vaudeville
performance at the Phillips last night
the amateurs held the boards and
their performances were truly meri-
torious Little Eddie King, son of AL
bert King. OF 20 South Fifth street,
sang Rufus Rastus,' in such pleas
ing manner that he was awarded the
first prize. The youngster did a
black face turn and although scarcely
knee high to a duck, received the
plaudits of the crowd to such an ex-
tent that he was made the recipient Of
the prize. Charles Taggart put on
a dance which was a hair raiser, and
won second prize for his efforts.

The hands of the government are
tied in the matter of sending additio-

is realized that Japan would at once

various items In which the army and

when It was learned that the record
of each man In the jury box had been
gone over with fine tooth comb. As
soon as man is accepted by prosecu-
ton or defense and takes his seat, n
corps of detectives in the employ OF
the district attorney, start out TO learn
all about him.
A Jurors Past Learned.
These detectives learn where each
of the jurors was born, they dig into
his home life, into his habits, into the
character OF his companions. his bus
mess relations and associates, and
they learn his history from the earliest
days of his youth.
In going into the history OF these
men the detectives have used tele-
graph and cable. and they have used
the mails. To survive such a pro-
cess man of any age must indeed
have stuck close to the straight and
narrow path since he quilted the ba-

Evelyn Helps Choose Jurors.
Evelyn Thaw, even more than her
husband, has taken a silent but
strong part in the selection OF the jury.
At all times it has been evident that
a nod of her head or quick glance
at her husband resulted in juror who
was ready for acceptance, being chal-
lenged by lawyers for the defense.
All along Thaw has taken an active
part in the selection Of the twelve men
who are to try him, but his wife SEEM
Ell to play no part at all. Often her
eyes were downcast and she seemed
SO tired that she was taking little in
terest in the proceedings.
On several occasions when Thaw's
counsel were hesitating, and when
Harry Thaw seemed doubtful. there
was quick glance between husband
and wife. Then there was a perenp-
tory challenge.
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw had issued the
challenge from underneath her long
eyelids, and no one save Thaw knew
she had done so.

jerome Wants Smith Removed.
Before the proceedings began, there
was another earnest conference Of
lawyers on both sides across the pol
ished surface of Justice Fitzgerald's
desk. AS on yesterday. the subject
was the middle-aged foreman whom
District-Attorney Jerome wanted to
drop by consent-but Mr.. Hartridge
son had been found by Jerome's busy
county detectives, which would justify
the ousting of the juryman in ques-
ton. Jerome, however, claims that
Smiths health is very bad
1t was said Smith, before being
summoned for service, had expressed
an opinion favorable to Thaw. The
man had not denied, when examined,
that he had an opinion, but insisted
that he could clear his mind of it.
Because of this, Mr.. Hartridge abso-
lutely refused to agree to the removal
of the man from the box, because, as
he pointed out, this would open the
way to removing any other juryma1,
since every one of them had confess
ed to an opinion
