New York, Jan. 10.--The second jury to try Harry K. Thaw for killing Stanford White was completed late to-day, and on Monday morning the prosecution will present it's direct case against the defendant Five jurors were accepted and sworn during the morning and afternoon sessions to- day As whole, the jury is made up of intelligent business men of middle age or over.
 When the panel had finally been completed, after many vexatious de- lays, and after the exercisefof twenty three peremptory challenges by the defense and twenty by the people, Thaw announced that he was entirely satisfied. In fact he seemed well pleased with the twelve men chosen. Young Mrs. Thaw, who has watched the selection of the jurors with the keenest interest also declared that she was well satisfied.
 They are much nicer than the men selected last year" she said as court adjourned. and Thaw echoed his wife's sentiments. The prisoner and his wife had an earnest five minutes talk after the last juror had been sworn, and while the attorneys were consid- ering the appointment of commls- sion which will be sent to Pittsburg to take the testimony of Mrs. William Thaw. the defendants mother, who is still too i'll to come on to New York.
 The new jurors selected to-day were Messrs. McHugh, Howell. Burck, De- vale and Hooper. The last two seats in the jury box seemed particularly hard to fill, and a number of talesmen were passed temporarily into these places only to be excused in n few minutes by challenges by both defense and prosecution.
 Justice Bowling announced at the beginning of to-day's sessions that be- ginning with Monday the court hours would be from 10 a. m. to D. m. and from 2 D. m. to D. m.
 Afterwards, at the request of the attorneys, he fixed the hour of ad- journment at 5 o'clock instead of 6.
 Assistant District Attorney Francis P. Garvan will make the opening statement for the prosecution, as he did at the first trial He will not consume more than ten minutes, and 1t Is said that the state will not take up more than two hours with It's di- rect witnesses
 The defense will open Monday aft ernoon, and Martin W. Littleton. Thaw's new chief counsel, will make the opening statement.

ANTI-SALOON GRAFT
Liquor Mems Editor Charges That League is Tool for
 Millionaires.
USED FOR POLITICAL POWER
Not for Bcttering Conditions, But to Scat Trust Iignrchcads in
 High Places.

New York, Jan. 10.--Charses that the Anti-Saloon league Is supported by multi-millionaires who use the or ganization for political purposes were made to-day, at meeting of New York wholesale liquor dealers, by T. M. Gilmore, editor of liquor trade magazine. Mir. Gilmore also said that to defeat the rising tide of prohibition the saloon business must be purged of Its evil aspects. The meeting was held to consider cooperation with the model license law movement begun in Louisville, Ky, two months ago and since extended to Pittsburg, Baltimore and Philadelphia.
 The Anti-Saloon league is tho strongest, best officered, best financed and best legally advised political or ganization in the world" said MT. Gill more. '1t now holds the balance of power in a number of states The league is supported by millionaires. and is banded together. not for the purposes of bettering the people at large. but to give political power to those men who contribute hundreds of thousands of dollars annually to its campaign funds They secretly direct and manipulate the organization so that they are able often not only to seat whom they please in the guber- material chair, but sometimes even dic- tate the selection of United States sem ators.
 'In order to combat this league and forestall prohibition--which everyone knows does not really prohibit-we must try to rid the saloon business of Its evil aspects. The present senti- ment against the liquor traffic is caus- ed by saloonkeepers who fail to obey the laws and by the public and public officers who fail to enforce them. The model license law provides that all licenses outstanding shall remain in force unless revoked by a majority vote of the people or by the failure of the holder to obey the saloon reg ulations. It limits the number of H. censes to be granted and otherwise re- stricts the liquor traffic. The general adoption of such a law would do more toward a sane solution of the drink habit than all the agitation of the Anti-Saloon league and prohibitionists together"
 Canvassers were appointed who will visit the wholesalers and retailers in an effort to enlist their support in a model license campaign.

MANY AGAINST BIDS
Citizens Argue in Favor of the Present Garbage Ar
 rangement.
SATISFACTORY TO BOARD
Health Officer Wright Tells That 1t Was the Best Ever Last
 Year.

The committee appointed at the last session of the board of aldermen to look into the question of the letting of the garbage contract held a public hearing last evening. The call for the meeting was the result of a petition presented to the aldermen asking that the garbage contract be given to the lowest responsible bidder
 The board of health had planned to award the sil,ooo contract to the same firm that had it in 1907. Complaints of the garbage collecting service have been fewer by al least a half than in any year in the past twenty, and the board thought that the best interests of the city demanded that the contract be given 10 the same persons
 Mir. Horan of the Trades Council, spoke in favor of the petition, After him MT. Callahan spoke. He also was in favor of letting the contract go to the lowest responsible bidder Mir. Cal lahan was the third and last one to favor the measure.
 The first one to appear against the petition was Dr. Frank Wright. the city health officer. He said that the collection of garbage had been the most satisfactory 1t had ever been dur Ing the past year, and personally he was in favor of having tne contract re- newed. He said that he did not know whether the board of health, if they were empowered to give the contract to person or firm not the lowest bidder. that 1t would go to the present kon- tractors.
 The next one to speak in opposition to Alderman Miller's petition was ex- City Attorney Howard Webb He said in introduction that he had not plannel to speak, but that he could not let the statement as to the illegality of a boards giving contract to other than the lowest responsible bidder, go un. challenged. Mir. Webb said that the city charter did allow boards to use their own judgment in the letting of just such contracts as the one un- der discussion.
 Following Mir. Webb, Edward l. Att water of the Business Mems associa tion spoke, The present conditions. he said, in\ comparison with those pre- vailing in the past were ideal The ] any other year within his memory

GOES UP TO COURT
Hearing Before Referee New ton on Paying National
 Wire Bonds.
NEW WORKERS NOT READY
Court to Determine Scope of Mort gage, as Property is Claimed
 as Exempt.

Referee in Bankruptcy Newton heard an appeal for an order for the payment of bonds of the National Wire corpor- ation yesterday afternoon at o'clock in his office at SIS Chapel street. A large number of bondholders and cred itors, or their representatives, were present Of 40 bonds outstanding l0s were represented. The question tc come up was whether any dividend should be paid, and If any, what, or the first mortgage bonds out of the money realized by the sale of the plant of the corporation in bankruptcy
 Considerable discussion brought out the fact that some of the largest bond holders in New York were unprepared to announce through their counsel just what course they intended to pursue in the matter. It was finally decided that the best way would be to have the matter brought before a district court by petition 10 be filed at some future date by the bondholders. This petition would have for it's purpose the order. ing of the trustees in bankrutcy to show cause why they should not pay these bondholders in full. The matter would then quite probably be referred to Referee Newton again as a specia master It will be before the court to determine the question as to the scope of the mortgage, it being claimed that a large part of the property owned b, the wire corporation and supposed tc be included in the mortgage, was not sufficiently described therein.
 Notice was served by Attorney Mar shall of New York, on behalf of great many of the creditors. that they, the creditors. would contest the claim oi the National Steel & wire company and the claim of the Everitt B. Web ster estate both as to validity and as to order of payment.
 There will be another hearing in tn, matter in three weeks.

 The followers of the Chapman movement found themselves xettinr home from church last evening prob- ably later than they had eser bsfore. It was after II o'clock when the is1tss meeting at Calvary Baptist church, at which all the districts convened. was out. Tie church was packed. IraceA. pr. Phillips, who took charge of the meeting, had to warn the peoplc to keep from the doorways assuring them that, did they not, and the fire marshal hear of 1t. they would not be allowed to hold any more mass meet ings.
 Now isn't this better than a prize fight" whispered Rev. w. E. A. Slaght to the reporter when the meeting was fairly under way, and the people from the outlying districts were pouring in late. You didn't think you would ever find yourself at church at II o'clock at night" said Dr. Chapman in his sermon. And how much bet ter is 1t than that you are usually do- ing at that time each evening?'
 The press of the city came in for bouquets and hard criticism almost in the same breath. Rev D. D. Mun- TO, the convener of the West Chapel district referring in sarcastic tone to "the reports our magnificent mag azines give us" and Dr. Chapman, on the other hand saying he wished to pay a public tribute to the newspa- pers, especially for their frequent and kindly editorials which they have gone out of their way to publish"
 After preliminary service of song the conveners of the various districts and the evangelists in those districts were called on to say a few word about the work they were attending to- In introducing the first speaker Dr. Phillips said: We will not step right over into Fair Haven and ask MT Tullar to tell of the work there.' MT. Tullar started little witticism that later developed into great deal of merriment because of subsequent remarks.
 T suppose Fair Haven is the first to be called upon because it gets the sunlight before the rest of the city. Just so do I believe that we are on the threshold of great movement. We see the ships with their sails wrapped around the masts; they are getting full and so are we with the grace of God"
 Dr. Henry Ostrom. the preacher in the district, was the next He said the pastors were working as a unit there. He asked all to pray for the work in Fair Haven.
 For the other end of the town. Westville. Rev. W. L. Slaght spoke of the number of conversion. Rev. H. D. Sheldon. the leader. said there had been small beginning there. but he was looking for greater things.
 Rev Robert D. Trick reported for the Howard avenue district. He said their evangelist was certainly driving home some great truths there and talking plainly. Rev Henry ". Slough said: T preach out there: I like the people out there They cer- tainly are very patient with my T =

DID NOT GET INCREASE
Police Department is Still at it's old
 Pay

The increases which the members of the police department were expected to receive under the appropriation made by the board of finance in the estimates for 1908 have not been received by them as yet. All the increases which were figured out exactly for the men at the total of $50 a year per man were held up, inasmuch as the police commission CTS did not make out the bills at the new rate. The bills were submitted at the old schedule and in that form were approved by the board of finance Thursday evening with the result that the payroll yesterday did not contain the added salaries.
 The police board asked for a uni form raise through the departments of 20 cents a day. This the finance board cut down about one-half.
 Whether the police commission will decline to accept the half raise or not is in question.
