TWELFTH JUROR
TOTRY CALHOUN
OCCUPIES SEAT
Is PASSED TEMPORARILY AND
MAY BE EXCUSED
PROSECUTOR HENEY MAY OBTAIN
THlRTEENTH MAN
One More to Sit in the Box Is Re-
quired, in Order to Guard Against
Disqualification of One by
illness
80 AssocIn.ed Press. ]

( CtAN FRANCISCO, April 11.-Twelve
Jurors, one of whom may yet be
~ excused, will confront the attor-
news in the trial of Patrick Calhoun,
president of the United Railroads, IN
dicted for bribery in connection with
an overhead trolley franchise, when the
fourteenth week of the proceedings
opens with tomorrow's session.
Otto Hildebrecht, finally sworn to try
the case, last Friday, is the eleventh
Juror to attain this distinction, and
since the adjournment of court on
that day he has been domiciled with
his ten colleagues at hotel, with two
deputy sheriffs detailed to prevent any
communication with persons other than
the jurors.
Richard Lutge, who has twice pre-
sented claims for damages against the
United Railroads, is temporarily passed
as the twelfth juror, and supplement
tary examination tomorrow probably
will determine the length of his stay IN
the box.
Contrary to the usual custom. 1t is
expected Judge Lawlor Will allow the
application of Assistant District At
torney Francis j. Heney for tnir-
teenth Juror, who will sit, if any of the
twelve are disqualified by illness or
otherwise In this case two additional
challenges of peremptory character
will be allowed the defense and one
more to the prosecution.
1t is believed, however, the full quota
of challenges will not be exercised by
the defense.
Ten Days to Get One Juror
All the efforts of one department of
the superior court were engaged from
March 81 to April to fill the eleventh
seat in the box. Seven days of actual
trial passed without the qualification
of a single citizen, although 24O tales
men were summoned by the sheriff,
and over 100 were subjected to actual
Interrogation by the attorneys.
City Auditor Roster has prepared
detailed statement of the cost to the
city of the bribery graft prosecution,
showing the expense of the past nine
months of the fiscal year to be $45, 499.
With these figures as a basis of COM
parison, Roster estimates that the en-
tire expense at the close of the fiscal
year will reach $4,000. This repre-
sents the cost of maintaining such
courts as are directly engaged with
cases arising out of the graft prosecu-
tion and the expense of the district
attorneys Office in carrying on that
work.
The largest expenditure shown in the
detailed statement is that of court re-
porters in Judge Lawlor's court, $15,-
364. Jurors fees for the same depart
ment were $7656, while the cost of the
incomplete Calhoun jury for the month
of March alone was 1851.
The hotel bill paid by the city for the
Ruef trial was $4725. and the additional
expenses of Elisor w. j. Biggy i'm that
case were $500. The hotel bill in the
Newburgh case was $1114. Court re-
porters' fees in all three departments
of the superior court engaged with
graft trials reach total of $19,964.

injured, Two Seriously.
Cause a Mystery
(By Associated Press


TACOMA, Wash, April 11.-Burling-
ton express train No. 16, which left
Tacoma at $3.50 o'clock In the after
noon, eastbound on the Northern Pa
cific road, was derailed one mile west
of Bristol, between Gle Elum and Ell
lensburg, at 1925 uast night, resulting
in the death of Engineer Franklin j.
Hammond of Tacoma and Fireman
John johnson of Tacoma, and the in
jury OF nine passengers, two seriously
and seven slightly. The cause of the
accident is mystery
From Ellensburg and Gle Elum relief
trains Immediately were sent out with
doctors and nurses and the injured
persons were taken back to Gle Elum.
Striking the sharp curve near Bris-
tol at a high rate of speed the train
left the track and ran nearly it's own
length on the ties before coming to a
stop.
The engine turned completely over,
the baggage car was turned crosswise
of the track and the mail car slid
down the track to the edge of the river.
All of the cars in the train left the
track with the exception of one rear
sleeper, but no one was injured in the
cars back of the day coaches.
1t is thought the main line will be
cleared for traffic in a few hours
The body of Fireman Johnson was
found beside his engine in a pool of
water, but the body of the engineer
was not recovered until later.
The seriously injured are II. II. Hew-

RAN FROM A BOMB.
Policeman Saw 1t But 1t Was About
to Explode

New York. Feb. 6.-Scores of people
were thrown into a panic and the lives
of several tiny scarlet fever sufferers
may be lost as the result of the ex-
plosion of a bomb outside the vesti-
bule of an East Seventy-fifth street
tenement house, early today. The police
believe the so-called Black Hand is re-
sponsible for the outrage as they say
a grocer named Pacolocci, who occu-
pied a. store on the ground floor of the
building which was blown up, had re-
ceived threatening letters. Pacolocci
denies this
The bomb was found in the vestibule
by Police Sergeant Birmingham, who
saw the sputtering of the spark as he
was passing. The sergeant entered the
hallway to investigate but when he
saw the bomb was about to explode fed
to the streets. He had hardly reached
the curb when the explosion occurred
The vestibule doors We're blown out
the ceiling fell and the windows in the
front of the building smashed. The
tenants fled to the street carrying sew
eral children i'll with scarlet fever.

BELOW NORMAL.
Industrial Operations Are Not
Up to Expectations.
Spring Trade Is Also Proving a
Disappointment.
AHEAD OF LAST YEAR.
The SlOwness of Demand in
Many Lines
Is Attributed to a Fear of
Tariff Revision.
AHEAD OF LAST YEAR.

New York, Feb. 6.-Bradstreers
says:
Trade is quiet as a whole, and in
dustrlaI operations are still below nor
mai in most lines Conservatism in
buying is still marked, and there is AL
SO present the feeling of disappoint-
ment hitherto noted at the failure of
spring trade to open up more RAPIDLY.
Some measures of trade volume
showed slight recessions in January
from December, but the failure rec
ora was an encouraging one, and the
Improvement over the same month a
year ago when business was at a low
eDb, is general and marked. Collec-
tions are little changed and are class
ed as fair as a whole
me disposition in many lines has
neen TO attribute slowness of demand
IN opening up to fear of tariff revi
sions, but there is manifest now a dis
poSltlon to- recognize more fully the
play of natural conditions and restrfc-
ton OF consumptive requirements pro-
ceedfng from reduced earning power
Of the community. First, probably in
point OF activity at present are the de-
mands for fertilizers, seeds, imple-
ments and similar goods, this being
most marked at western centers
Cotton goods as a whole are fairly
active. some lines are very firm, and
slow deliveries are complained of in a
rev branches. Cotton yarns are firm
er and print cloths active. Worsted
mems goods are also selling we'll for
next fall. few wooden lines are also
active, but these goods as whole are
still quiet, as are wooden dress fab
RIGS and this trade might be better.
The leather trades are fairly active,
and the shipments Of shoes are MAX
ing far better exhibit than some
time ago, or than in the same period
a year ago. In the manufa cturing in
clI a iFnY md OF
is quieter. Some large orders for rails
have been placed, but pig iron is
weaker and finished products are less
active despite concessions in many
lines. Business failures in the United
States for the week of February
were 286. against 81 last week, 272
in the same week of 1908, 1913 in 1907,
204 in 1906 and 207 in 1905 Cana

which compares favorably with AZ

gregate 1,S02,976 bushels, against g.

JAPANESE DEMANDS.
They Merely Want to Be Treated Like
Other People.

Denver. Feb. 6.-Equality with
every other foreign nationality in the
United States or a very good and suf1i-
cient reason why not is the demand
of the Japanese in America, according
to Takeo Sagora, secretary of the Jap
anese asso citation of Colorado.
1--WE considered ourselves superior
as a race to the Chinese, Koreans and
other Asiatics and we do not want to
be classed with them, and will demand
our rights granted the Japanese by
treaty and under the constitution of
the United States to be treated on
equal terms with the French, German
or man of any other nation" said
the secretary. ''The Asiatic scare of
the Pacific coast amounts to little,' he
continued. THE number of Japanese
in the United States is decreasing and
will probably continue to do so. There
are about 1000 japanese IN Colorado
and 500 in Denver
The statement that there are only
500 Japanese in Denver is denied by
Chief of Police Armstrong, who says
that a. conservative estimate shows be-
tween three and four thousand in this
city.
