President Stcknty and Charles H. F Smith Are Named By
 Judge Sanborn
.RECEIVERSHIP ID OFFER
 PROTECTION ID ROAD
Causes That Led To Action of Appoint ing Receivers Is Roads Failure To Meet Obligations, Due
 Principally To Strike.

St. Paul. January S.-Judge Walter H. sanborn, of the United States circuit court this afternoon appointed A. B. Stickney and Charles H. r. Smith, both residents of St, Paul receivers for the Chicago Great Western railroad. A. B. Stickney is now the president of the road. The firm of Kellog and Severance of St. Paul was appointed attorneys for the receivers.
 The appointment of receivers followed the inability of the company to meet ob- legations falling due in 1908 and the fall- ure to secure an extension of the obli- cations. Loss as result of the boner- makers strike of last fall is given as a partial cause for the financial stringen- cies of the road. It is also pointed out in the proceedings this afternoon that during the last ten years the road has spent $1900O, 600 in reconstruction.
 The petition for a receivership was filed on behalf of the stockholders and the finance committee by John A. Hum berg of Minneapolis, George P. Meyer of New York and Ward Cummings and Alexander Wallace of Great Britain
 Stiles w. Burr of St. Paul, appeared as attorney of record for the complain ants and Frank B. Kellogg of St. Paul. made a statement of the correct eondi- tiohs and the grounds on which d receiv- ership was asked. As soon as the pe- tition for the complainants had been filed, an answer was filed on behalf of the board of directors who met this afternoon and voted to become party to receiver- ship proceedings.
 Capital of the Road.
 In asking for the appointment of re- ceivers. MT Kellogg said that the eapi- tai of the Chicago Great Western con- sists of four classes of stocks. but two of which need to be considered in the re- eeiyership proceedings. These are the pre- ferred, A and the debenture stock. each of which represented 50 per cent of the original first mortgage bonds.
 The preferrs of these two classes of stock are secured by trust deed to the Manhattan Trust company of New York. There will be a default in the payment of these obligations January b, said MT. Kellogg.
 Further outlining the condition of the
 
 ern owes $l0 653, 413.71 now due or falling due within the next four years, of which notes to the amount of $565, 900 have gone to protest. The sum, exceeding $l0o00,00e said MT. Kellogg is part of $19, ,000000 spent by the company in the last ten years and for the most part in the last five years. in rebuilding the road. New steel had been laid, double tracks have been built. grades have been reduced and new bridges and terminals have been con- structed There was due last month notes to the amount of 5o,OOo pounds sterling and will be due during the rest of Jan- uary notes aggregating 2SS,20O pounds sterling. The total amount of obliga- tons due during 1908 is $3, 342, 545.45.

Insanity Experts Offered By Pros-
 ecutiOn in First Case To Be Used By Defense
DETERMINATION NOT ID
 HAVE THAW CONVICTED
At the End of the Days Proceedings Six Permanent Jurors Had Been Secured and Another Panel
 Has Been Ordered.

New York January S-The work of se- curing jury to try Harry K Thaw a second time, for killing Stanford White, was half complete when court adjourned shortly before 6 o'clock tonight. The original venire of 300 special service jurors had been exhausted at that hour and the customary night sitting was not held. Two hundred additional talesmen have been ordered to report tomorrow morning and the task of seeking satis- factory trial jurors will be resumed. The oath of service was administered today to three men, making six in all who have been finally accepted. Three provisional jurors were also in the box at the close of the days session, but they are still subject to peremptory challenge. Another series of these arbitrary removals reduced the panel when all twelve seats had been filled at o'clock and six chairs were left vacant when it was finished The defense has now exercised II of it's 30 challenges and the prosecution eight The sworn jurors in their respective posi- tions are:
 Charles E. Gremmells, ship broker, fore man.
 Arthur R. Naething, baker.
 George w. Cary, dry goods.
 George c. Rupprecht. salesman.
 John IT. Holbert, mineral waters.
 David E. Arrowsmith, manager.
 The provisional jurors are:
 William McAdie, salesman.
 George Mettze, drugs.
 James s. Davidson, clerk.
 Unique Plan Followed
 The plan of maintaining temporary and permanent jurors in the trial panel un- til 12 men have finally been selected for service is unique in the New York courts and has imposed double duty upon the guards, who are directed nightly to keep the sworn jurors and the provisional ones separate. In the selection of the jury Martin w. Littleton, Thaw's senior coun- sel, is so conducting his examination of talesmen as to impress upon them that should the defense introduce evidence tending to show that Thaw was insane at the time of the Madison Square roof garden tragedy the burden of proof will fall upon the shoulders of the district at torney and he must prove beyond all reasonable doubt that the defendant was legally sane. This principle of law was not SC clearly enunciated at the former trial
 First Surprise.
 Thaws attorneys today furnished the first big surprise of this trial by ad- mitting that several of the expert wit nesses who were retained by the district attorney for the first trial and who de- clared when Mir. Jerome made applica- ton fof lunacy commission that in their opinion Thaw was so insane as not to know the nature of the proceed ings against him, and was entirely in- capable of intelligently advising with his counsel are now under subpoena by the defense.
 This move, it is said, is intended by the defense to block the prosecution's putting the doctors on the stand and it is taken by some as showing a deter imitation not to have Thaw convicted even with the danger of stay in the --~~------~--------

Official Terrorism.

Official terrorism is watching Milyou- kov, embodied in the Black Hundred. which Is patronized by the court, and said to be salaried by the czar, and Rus sian beaurocracy is watching him. The New York audience on the night of Jan uary IA will not listen more attentively than Czar Nicholas will listen through the ears of Russian spies And Milyou- kov will speak guardedly but not the less significantly, remembering the in- visible sword of Damocles over his head.
 Milyoukov would seem queer sort of politician in America. Ten years ago he was professor of Russian history at Moscow, that crucible where revolution boils while generations of students come and go, many of them to swift death or lifelong exile. One day he was snatched from his classroom and after summary Russian trial was exiled to Siberia as -----~~------~------~-->~

The Black Hundred.

Last summer, shortly after Milyoukov's election to the douma as leader of the combined radicals. Kellog Durland, the American correspondent, who has since written "The Red Reign in Russia" paid him visit at St. Petersburg. On rs- ing to leave Durland absent-mindedly picked up Milyoukovs hat instead of his own. Glancng inside the hat band he noticed two crosses, heavily drawn in black ink.
 ''Yes,' said Milyoukov. with a grim smile, q dined at a restaurant the other day, and on going out found those marks in my hat, which had been on a rack nearby. It is the sign of the Black Hun dred. Two crosses-that is warning. Some day I may find a third cross be- side the other two, and that will mean"
 He shrugged his shoulders. Only few months previously Milyoukov's intimate friend, Professor Herzenstein, a member of the douma, had been shot through the head by member of the Black Hun dred and the assassin was promoted to a sinecure under the government. Pro- lessor Hertzenstein was an authority on the agrarian question, and along with Milyoukov was the most powerful rad ical in the dounna.

PAUL MILYOUKOv COMES ID AMERICA Leader of Combined Russian
 Radical Ferces TRIP MAY COST HIS LIFE Warning of the Black Hundred Has Already Been Marked In His Hat.
 Tie FinaI Warning Is Ex-
 pected at Any Time.
TRIP MAY COST HIS LIFE

New York. January S.-(Special. .)-Prof. Paul Milyoukov, leader of the combined radical forces in the Russian douma, is on the high seas bound for America A more momentous, or a more drama tical- ly exciting trip has rarely been taken. Milyoukov will be on American soil for just five days. The most eminent his- torian of Russia, and with fiery record of exile, imprisonment and repatriation behind him, he is boarding the terrors of the Black Hundred and of the Rus sian beauocracy, and is bringing demo- cratic Russia's message to the New World and the new year. He will address thu Civic forum in New York on January IA, will pay a flying visit to Washing ton, where he will be banqueted by con gressmen and cabinet members, but for diplomatic reasons will not be received at the White House, and thence back to Russia.
 Three years ago, immediately before the opening of the first douma, Milyoukov visited America. Then he was private citizen Today he is the selected repre- sentative of democratic government in Russia and the leader of as strange and motley an army of political factions as ever threw itself against the blank wall of an autocratic government. And like his intimate friend, Professor Hertzen- stein, Milyoukov bids fair to pay for his victory with his life.
