CLAIMS JURY WAS
IMPROPERLY DRAWN
Standard Oil Attorney Would
Quash venire

Chicago, Feb. PA bitter skirmtsh
signalizeG the opening of the retrial OF
the Standard Oil company of Indiana
for alleged rebating. Judge Anderson
had been on the bench but a few mo-
ments when John S. Miller, of the de-
Tense, electrified those present by fill
ing a motion to quash the venire of
$50 men on the ground that it had
been improperly drawn. Sixty per
cent of the venire are farmers, only
three are residents of Chicago and but
sixteen live in Cook county, which
contains two-thirds of the population
within the courts jurisdiction.
Surprise was plainly visible on the
face of District Attorney Sims when
Mr.. Miller called attention to the per.
sonnet of the venire. He promptly re-
covered, however, and sharply op.
posed the motion.
Judge Anderson ruled that the
venire was improperly drawn. A new
one must be summoned. which is said
to demand an indefinite delay in hear.
ing the case.

posed Senator Taylor.
Continuing his testimony Colonel
Cooper said the first note of discord
between him and Senator Carmack
appeared in the Memphis News-Scini-
itar in 1908. Later in that year the
witness said he supported Patterson
for governor and Carmack ceased
speaking to him.
Colonel Cooper was questioned
about the joint debate between Car
mack and Patterson and declared
Carmack at first referred to him
(Coopsr) in terms of ridicule and
later charged him with corruption.
Cooper said in response to questions
that he was a private citizen at that
time and had said nor done nothing
to provoke the attacks.
Cooper said Carmack was defeated
and that the attacks on him in Car
mack's paper became more bitter and
continued uninterruptedly.

IN THE INTEREST OF PEACE

Berlin, Feb. 24.-The menacing at

of peace and Germany has been asked
to join France In this endeavor. The

not consider it desirable to participate
In suggestions to Austria-H Hungary; 1t
was quite willing, however, to assist
In pressure upon Servia to keep the
peace.
It. is understood in Berlin that
France took this step after reaching
an agreement with Russia.

r,.n,,t, About the Canal.

The Dispute AUo
- .honld not cause surprise that
.,ter all the work which has e
aona on the isthmian canal its type,
whether at sea level or lock, - not
unalterably fixed. An argument wnicn
probably helped to the decision 70
start on a lock system was that II
con,d be changed at any time 70
saa level channel. Another &gument
vhich carried weight for a lock canal
wos the greater cost and longer time
involved In construction Of the sea
level type. Now that It has been ss De. de--
+or,n,ned that the cost under the plan
first adopted will be at least double
the original estimate and the comple-
ton delayed three to five years De-
vond the original calculation advo-
Gates of the sea level channel find
their position strengthened where be-
fore It was weakest.
Among the objections to the lock
system which appear to be unanswer-
able the liability to get OF q
is perhaps the most formidable. Ma
licious people or enemies can easily
ruin the channel by tampering with
-ffhe locks. Another objection Is that
the lock canal will be inadequate for
the traffic of the near future. On the
other hand, it is claimed that, besides
being easier and cheaper to construct,
the lock system will regulate the sud
den and excessive rainfall occasion
ally flooding the ditch. 1t appears
that foreign engineers favor the sea
level canal. while American engineers,
accustomed to immense dams and the
control of heavy floods, favor the lock
system for the Panama problem.

GALE THE MOTIVE W
Trainmen Apply Brakes to Prevent
BEATING Schedule.

Denver, Feb. 24.-The wind, it is
said, literally blew a Rock Island pas
senger train into Denver. The train
was due at 8 o'clock, but it was all
the engineer could do to keep from
coming In an hour ahead Of time.
A strong gale helped the train from
the rear for 100 miles and reversed
the usual conditions which exist in a
storm.
The engineer reduced steam and
says the ears glided along the track
at fifty miles an hour as nicely as If
the rails had been creased. When it
was discovered the train was running
ahead Of schedule time the brakes
were applied.
