PICKY ,G JURY ,. II! TENNESSEE. Y ,nt Riders Brought to Bar. PIERCE TnTS WITH COURT Lawyer for Defendants Rebuked by
 Judge. Expect That Some Time win He Re-
 quired to Get Men to Hear
 About Murder of Rankin.

Union City. Tenn. Dec. 1s.--After an entire day devoted to an attempt to get a jury to try, the eight alleged night riders charged with the murder of Captain Quentin Rankin, court was compelled to adjourn tonight with but two men in the jury box.
 Fifty-three talesmen were examined. The defense exhausted twenty-six of It's ls2 challenges. and the State chal- ienged but one man. The court ex- cused the others examined for cause. The proceedings were marked by fre- quent tllts between counsel which in- creased in bitterness as the day ad- vanced. At one time Judge Jones had to threaten to fine Attorney Pierce of the defense for contempt.
 It is probable that week will be consumed securing jury.
 The number of challenges allowed made 1t necessary to summon at least 252 talesmen. When court convened twenty-seve more were subpoenaed before the required number was had.
 A ripple of excitement was caused in the court room this morning when R. A. Pierce, counsel for the alleged night-riders. made the statement that Win Wagster. one of his clients, had been. taken from the barracks under guard to the office of the States att
  that the court take, steps to see that the matter did not occur again. The matter was, however, passed over until later.
 Wagster has been Indicted for mur- der In the first degree. and is said to be the man who organized the Reel foot pight-riders.
 The defense is relying on newspaper publications to disqualify the, panel. but the court holds that witneases are not incompetent on mere newspaper pubiications,
 W. E. Webster Of this city, was the first of the 262 men composing the panel examined, He was accepted by the. State but rejected by the defense.
 3gina of the panel Summoned ae aJu- TOTS were examined this smorning. Two were adjudged incompetent by Judge Jones, and the seven were challenged by the defense.
 A lively tilt occurred this morning between Judge Jones and R. A. Pierce, counsel for the. defense, in regard to a newspaper publication said tg have been an interview of Governor Patter- sons stating that Frank Ferrfng's confession had implicated the accused men.
 MT. Pierce had been asking the pro spective jurors if they had read any such statement in the Nashville pa- pers. The Attorney-General objected to the question and Judge Jones asked Mr. Pierce to read the statement, or state on his honor as a lawyer that he had read such statement He re- fused and the court then ruled his question on this point as incompetent.

HUNDLEY NOW SAFE ON BENCH Alabama Judge Is Con
 frnled. A HARD FIGHT $ OVER Rspubs Felt He Had Been Mis-
 represented. The senate Also Passes Favorabiy Upon Rufus H. Ihayer To sae- essa Judge wsaaey In
 China.
 
nY ALFREp ,. sToFER.

washington. D. C., Dec. 1s-~ tSpecial.) Judge oscar R. Hpndley at last has a clear title to the iudgeshfp for the Northern District of Alabama. The fight ended today because his opponents real ized that nothing more could Do done in this ahort session, for sooner or lat CT numbers arrayed against the smaller band of lighters would triumph.
 President Roosevelt and Attorney General Bonaparte stood by TIpndley and his friends also worked up influ- ence>for him in many parts of the coun- try on the ground that he was being misrepresented, if not persecuted. by Democrats, and in this way sufficient pressure was brought to bear on Rs- publicans who were standing by the Democrats trying to defeat him This had It's effect and when on Monday Hundley's opponents discovered that his case had been separated by the Senate Juffidiciary Committee from the others hanging up, they privately admitted 1t looked to them as if he would be cons hrmed but they did not talk this out openly, for additional protests wers coming in from Alabama Republicans as we'll as Democrats. who had hoped the nomination could be held up in- definitely.
 Besides, senators Johnston and Bank had favored Hundiey from the start ana did what they could to help hia cause. Many of the Democratic sena- tors have this session declared it almost useless to oppose the administration appointments in view of the fact thai the Republicans have an overwheimina majority in tine Senate. They are bound to be whipped in the end they say. For this reason Damocrats. as a rule. have practically ceased to ob- feet to the combinations because they have about concluded 1t is waste of valuable time in short session.
 The members of the House from Ala bama who have opposed Hundley with might and main. made gallant light. They have put facts on record in the Senate. They held him up for more than year and he had "a worrying time before he secured title to the po- sition.
 The Senate confirmed also the noms ination Of Rufus H. Thayer. Of washington. D. C., to be. Judge Of the United States Court of China. succeed ing Judge L. R. wilhey. resigned.
