FIRST PANEL EXHAUSTED
Three Jurors, Subject to Challenge,
Occupy the Box at the Trial
of Patrick Calhoun.

San Francisco, jan 15-Three jurors,
any or all Of whom may yet succumb to
peremptory challenge, have been selected
to try The case Of Patrick Calhoun, the
street car magnate charged with the bTi-
berry of municipal officials, and to achieve
this result a panel of $50 citizens was thor
oushly sifted in the search for satisfac-
tory material during period of four days
ending this afternoon, when court ad-
journed until next Tuesday morning.
The process of examination was acceel-
Grated today and the attorneys managed
to dispose of twenty talesmen within the
four hours which the court devoted 20
this case. Two of the three of this num-
Der were not on the assessment roll, and
the others. with the exception of the sim
of,inions that rendered them Objectionable
to one side o. the other.
In order to save time. Judge William 2.
I.awlor. who is presiding over the trial.
TO-DAY directed the attorneys to proceed
directly to those portions Of the eXamina-
fion which tend to disclose bias or pretu-
dice. and to this order was attributed the
fact that the panel was exhausted before
the usual hour of adjournment arrived.
An early rebuke by the court and a threat
Of punishment for contempt checked the
first tendency toward acrimonious dispute
manifested by the attorneys this noraIng,
and during the remainder OF the day there
was an absence Of verbal encounters.
The sheriff has been directed to summon
$50 citizens as a second panel and the OK

POINT OF ORDER
MADE IN SENATE
BOrah of Idaho Trying to Block
Salary Increase for PreSi-
dent and Others.
LIVELY DEBATE ON MATTER
HOUSE HAS AN IMPORTANT
QUESTION TO DECIDE.

Washington, Jan. 15,-An amendment
i'm the legislative, executive and judicial
appropriation bin increasing the salary
of the president to 100000, of the vice
president and speaker of the house Of
representatives to $4,000 with $1,000 ad-
ditional allowance for carriages and
coachmen for the vice-president and
speaker and increases for the judiciary
aggregating s32S, 500, precipitated q
lively discussion in the senate tooay.
Senator Borah, of Idaho, made point
of order against these increases on the
ground that they involve general legis-
sation, which, according to the rules
of the senate, cannot be placed on an
appropriation bill in face of a single
objection. The debate centered upon
the first of the amendments objected to
which was to increase the salary of
the speaker of the house of representa-
tives and various criticisms were called
forth against such extensive advance
of salaries, although many senators
without opposing some increase insisted
that it should be considered in a separ-
ate bill and not on a single supply
measures of the government
Without concluding the debate fur
Their consideration Of the amendments
was postponed until next Monday. At
SOS the senate adjourned.

Debate Renewed.

When later in the day the salary ques-
ton was reverted to, Senators Lodge and
Hale took opposite views Of the parlia-
mentary status Of the amendments. Mr..
Lodge insisted that under the rules of the
senate point of order would not lie
against them. while MI Hale declared
that such amendments were properly gen
erai legislation and are included in the
restrictive rules of the senate. He sail,
however, that as there had been vast ad-
ditions to the military expenditures he
saw no reason why congress should not
increase the salaries. Mr.. Clay spoke
against the proposed Increases, which, he
said aggregated so, 800.
Senator CuibCrson said that he proposed
at the proper time to offer an amend
merit making the speakers salary $4,000
Comparing the offices of vice president
and speaker of the house Mr.. Fulton in
sisted that the vice president, being elect
ed by the people and occupying the high
est office except that of the president,
should have a higher salary than the
speaker.
Senator Borah, speaking on the Poin-
of order made by him. said he was OPP
posed to the increase in these salaries,
and declared that in spite Of what had
been done in the past, the deficit OF the
government makes such increases Of more
consequence than heretofore they have
been. Mr. Borah's point of order was still
under discussion when the senate al
journed.
