JURY BOX HALF FILLED.
Few Men Wiling to Serve in the Col
onel Cooper Case.

Nashville, Tenn. Jan. 21.-The sec
ond day in the effort to obtain jury
in the trial of Col. Duncan B. Cooper,
his son Robin Cooper, and former
Sheriff John D. Sharpe. charged with
the murder Of former Senator Edward
w. Carmack, closed with only six men
4n the box, a gain of but two over
the day before. This was a distinct
disappointment not only to the court,
but to the attorneys on both sides.
After obtaining four jurors in a few
hours yesterday, it was believed that
rapid progress would be made today.
The delay is attributed to two causes
--one is that it happened that most of
those examined today are residents Of
Nashville or vicinity where the case
has been fully discussed and where
most Of the people have taken sides.
The other reason is that but few men
are willing to serve upon jury which
is called upon to decide a case in
which the feeling is SO intense.

There is Nothing Pending in Congress Half So
Important, Says President.
CONFERENCE HELD AT THE WHITE HOUSE
Necessity of CALIFORNIA; Congressional Delegation Using
Their Full Influence Against Legislation that Japan
Might Resent-Wisdom of Placating Anti-Japanese
Sentiment the Pacific Coast Quickly Possible

congress a report by the general staff
of the army, which became public to-
day, recommending fortifications for
San Pedro harbor California, was
made the basis for suggestions that
such decision was reached lately in
view Of possible trouble with Japan.
At the war department this inference
was given a most explisit denial. There
it was said that the general subject of
the improvement of San Pedro harbor
had been under consideration more
than two years, beginning before there
was any thought of any dispute be-
1t was taken up as a natural military
problem involving the necessary pro-
lection of the Southern California
coast from foreign invasion and with
out reference-to any particular country
or enemy. The defense of San Pedro
was considered just as was that of 9TH
er harbors on the Pacific or on the At
lantic coast, it was explained.
Estimates Of the cost Of the site and
fortifications aggregate $3,655239 for
big guns, submarine mines, land and
accessories.

to address the members Of the legisla-
ture in a special message, nor does he
deem such action necessary, in view of
the wide publication Of the wishes of

who has benefited them in the

These traitors and ours work

where these spies and hounds in

sent into the unions for the pur-
pose of destroying the organi-
cation.
But whether these Judases have

HINTS FOR FARMERS
Some Poultry Wisdom.

Some do well with several different
breeds of hens. but for most folks one
kinGis best.
Give plenty of litter for the biddies
to work in; clear up to their knees
is not too much. 1t does them good to
work, and they like it too.
You can keep as many hens as you
like. only do not have too many in 4
flock. Not more than twenty-five should
be kept in a place.
You. will not be able to give your
hens newly dug earth these days, but
you can give them earth that has not
been worked over by the chicks. This
you should always try to do, for earth
which has been dug over repeatedly Is
not clean, and it may have germs of
disease in it.
1t is wrong to dose healthy hens
with stimulants. ......-
Any hustlcrs among your hens
They are the ones that bring you in

TRAITORS
AND SPIES
me Great Burden Of the Labor Movement
OF Eoday-Judases Work in Season
out of Season.

The white man has his burden:
the Ethiopian and the Monaghan
must also carry their load, s;,ys
the Organized Labor, Of San
Francisco.
No nation, no people, no or
ganlzation is exempt. Hence it is
put natural that the industrial
organizations, trade and labor.
unions, should have their special
burden to carry.
The unions burden is not q
light one, but like every other
being and institution on earth
the union must carry the load.
1t is not the opposition to the
trade union movement that con
stitutes the union burden. 1t is
not the attacks of its enemies. 1t
is not the malicious libels and
ISLANDERS which are heapeu whole
sale upon the organization and its
officers and members.
1t is not the dense Ignorance and
prevailing prejudice that at times
seem like insurmountable barrier
which ties the strength Of the un-
ion movement.
1t is the same old burden. 1t is
the Judas kiss-the traitor.
Members of trade union are
not SO carefully selected. The
door is generally open to all who
apply for membership, and can
prove that they are qualified to
work at their chosen trade or call
ing. ..
Some Of these applicants come
without being well recommended.
A labor organization is the only
society with the exception of the
body polite, which must take into
its midst it's very foes. The State
can send its enemies to institut ions
provided for the criminals. Not
so with the trade union. The
very worst that the labor organi-

A Train Load of MONKEYS,

A plague of monkeys some years ago
sOrely troubled the officials at a small
station on the Saran railway, in north
west India, says the Bombay Gazette.
Trucks full of grain for export were
often stored up in the station, and the
monkeys came down in large numbers
from neighboring grove to help them
selves to the grain, picking holes in the
tarpaulin roof Of the wagons. The Of
fcials were wearied out with keeping
watch and soaring away the thieves,
who daily grew holder, till an ingen-
ious guard hit upon stratagem. For
several days sweets and fruits were
put on the roofs Of the wagons, with
the result that the whole of the mon
key colony were attracted to the spot
and soon became perfectly Indifferent
to man. One morning when they were
all busily feeding an engine was
stealthily attached to the wagons, and
suddenly the train moved off. The
monkeys were quite scared and made
no attempt to escape, sitting crouched
together till the train had gone several
miles and stopped at the jungle. Then
they wanted no hint to leave. Every
monkey leaped down bowling and fled
Into the jungle. whence none ever te-
turned to trouble the railway.
