consequences OF the building up in this
country Of these gigantic organizations

has led to poisoning the fountain or in
formationof the people OF the United

been stolen from the people of the

Consequently, he asked to have the

JUDGE HASTENS
JURY SELECTION
Fines Nine Tardy Talesmen SIS Each
Rules On, Competence
Of Men.

Nashville, Tenn, Jan. 21.-With
four jurors accepted out of 100 exam
ined, there is every prospect that the
Cooper murder trial will be in full
swing before the week is over. The
readiness with which jurors were Sc
cured was a surprise to every one
who had watched the proceedings of
the case. The rulings of Judge Hart,
however, had not a little to do with
the rapidity with which the proceed
ings moved. He began by fining nine
tardy talesmen $25 each.
Next he took into his own hands
the examination Of those men who
claimed to have formed an opinion.
Unless the prospective juror insisted
that he could not render a fair YER
diet, even after hearing the testi-
mony, Judge Hart held that he was
a competent juror and compelled
either the state or the defense to ex-
ercise their right of peremptory chal-
lenge. The judge declared that
