Good Progress Made Today in
Securing Jury For Trial
Of the Coopers.
Hearst News Service.

Nashville, Tenn, February al. A.
Woodruff and Jacob Fruitzer, both
farmers, were today accepted by both
sides as Jurors in the trial of the Coop
ers and Sharp for the murder Of Ex-
Senator E. w. Carmack.
This makes eleven men in the box,
counting juror Whitworth who will
probably be excused for cause. The
court will probably pass upon the COM
potency of Whitworth late this after
noon, as soon as the twelfth juror has
been chosen. 1t is alleged by the de-
fense that Whitworth has expressed
an opinion derogatory to the defend
ants.

New York. Jan. 10--Speculative oper.
ators in the stock market had admin
lsterod to them last week an object
lcsson OF too confident assumption of
events not vet definitely decided and
the taking to heart of the lesson re-
suited in some revision Of opinion OF
prospects ard in some misgivings over
the extent to which buying of stock
had carried prices. The sharp readjust-
ment to lower prices was the conse-
quence, the action being so abrupt and
- headlong as to leave room for some
upward reaction before the week had
closed, followed, however, by another
relapse The center OF the disturbance
was in Consolidated Gas, In which
there had b, en- so excessive a Specula-

be declared invalid, that heavy real

company found itself obligated to re-

the law was enacted. The shares of the

speculation on these assumptions
prompted some REIMBURSEMENT of the po-
sition. Disappointment of speculative
assumptions was read also in the cleo

Cabinet GOSSIP.
Knox and Hitchcock Only
Men Yet Named.
Rumor Connects Many Names
With Other Positions.
List will Be Known When Mr.. Taft
Is Ready and OF Before.

Washington, Jan. 10.-The decision of
Presdent-elect TAFT to refrain from
making public the names of the per-
sons he has selected to be members of
his cabinet. except Senator Knox and
Frank II. Hitchcock has had the effect
Of melting cabinet gossip greatly.
Without doubt among the many names
which are being brought forward for
the various cabinet portfolios are those
OF at least a few successful aspirants,
bat it is decidedly unsafe to attempt
to indicate who they are in the light Of
last nights announcement from Au-
gusta.
The one possibility of accurate infor-
nation regarding the seven vacant
cabinet places lies in the proneness Of
the friends of the selected persons to
discuss the matter. Yet Senator Knox
who has been aiding the President-elect
In this work of cabinet building, on his
return from Augusta yesterday rather
grlmly hinted that airy candidate who
personally or through his friends be-
trayed the confidence of the President
elect might find that after all he was
not on the list when the final cabinet
is announced and that statement may
restrain cabinet talk by people who
are really advised.
But certain names, by dint of reiter-
alton in connection with cabinet vacan-
ci@s, have come to be regarded as pos
sible. Such, for instance. is that of
George w. Wickersham, the New York
lawyer and legal partner of Henry
Taft, the PreSident-electS brother. He
has been consistently mentioned in
connection with the attorney general
ship, but Senator Knox is a potent in
fucnce with the President elect and he
has the highest admiration for the abil-
tiles of Solicitor General Hoyt, with
whom he WAS intimate during his own
occupancy of the office of attorney
general He might urge HOyt'S selection

found ineXpcdicnt from the fact of his

dent-clect's brother.

friends are hopeful of his retention as

Messina, Jan. 10.-Balmy weather
has prevailed for the past two or three
days at this place, and it is Il great
Blessing. making it possible for the
troops and survivors of the earthquake
to live more or less comfortably in the
open. Occasionally there are earth
shocks but the people have become ac-
customed to them. Two severe shocks
on Friday brought down many broken
walls in Messina.
General MazZa. who is in supreme
command, has adopted stringent meas
ures to protect the people and the peo-
pies property. Besides establishing a
police service around the city, he has
issued orders that any person found eX-
cavating without permit Shall be
shot. General MazZa's command eX-
tends to both sides of the straits. In
an interview, he said that some sem
blance of order will at last be rees-
tablished The work is now SYSTEM
atized and the situation he believed is
we'll in hand.
1.-The question of the ultimate re-
building of Messna,' he said. belongs

pal energies will be concentrated with
those of the authorities at Reggie in

Washington, JAN 10-No subject has
been gossiped about recently at the
Capitol with such ferVor as President
IsOoSeVclt'S disclosure Of Senator Till
mans alleged connection with an Ore
2on lard deal, bat the colleagues of the
South Carolinian are inclined to with
hold Judgment until he has an oppor-
unity to explain. 1t is likely that when
the doors of the Senate open tomorrow,
there viii be Il crowd awaiting admit
lance sufficient to fill the galleries
many times. The fact that the senator
VIII read his explanation will probably
rob it some of the sharp and homely
epi2ranS usual to his speeches and it
therefore may tc somewhat of Il dis
appointment to his audience.
Many expressions of dissatisfaction
are heard because OF the manner in
Which the President made public the
material gathered by postoffice insrec-
tors about Senator rillman. Il is point
ca u,;t DN senators that the matter sent

,nat the plcsl;lent told friend, who
lcneated the remark. that an effort Was
uadc by Senators Hale ard Aldrich to
suppress lhc facts about Senator Till
man. t'n,lnubtodly his impression was
gained at tive White House by Il visit
TO the President by Mr. Hale, who
suggested that the matter relating To
Mr. Tillnlan should be withdrawn 1t is
said that the Maine senator did not
base the request upon the ground that

Service, but because of the fact mat
Senator Tllman is in poor health and
the charge was liable to rouse him to
a pitch of excitement dangerous To his
| lie President Roosevelt declined to

and when Senator Hale would not
make it public, he decided TO do so him

There is no question that tine condi-

riois. When he went to Europe last
rlarch he was in a highly nervous
state. The trip resulted in Il marked
Improvement, but for some time his
friends have noticed thai his nervous
