Flushing. L. l.. April 2i--A special panel of iso talesman was exhausted today without getting . single addi- tional juror in the trial of Captain Pe- eer c. Hains. IT,. for the murder of William F. AnnAs.
 Practically all those sxamtssed had developed such robust 'opinions in regard to the defendant's guilt or inno- aence. that they wore excused.
 Several of the prospective jurors ex- pressed che opinion that they could not conecientiously vote to convict the de. fendant as they believed that he was morally right In killing Annis if the 4atter had Invaded the home of Captain Hains and was guilty of wrongful re- latiens scith his wife.

COOPERS' PLEA { FOR NEW TRIAL Eloquent Arguments in

 Is ReaeAed.

Nashville, Tenn, April e1--That the court by its fnstructions practically commanded the jury to convict Col. D. B. Cooper and Robin Cooper of the murder of former Senator E. w. Car mack. was the contention of Judge An derson in his argument for q new trial this afternoon.
 The judge read instructions of JudRs Hart as to the right of the Coopers to seek former Senator D. ". Carmack.
 The court, In this instruction" {" said Anderson. declares in efrect that the Coopers had a right to cross the street and seek Carmack but that they cross- cd that street at their peril and that if they went across. prepared to use force against Carmaclx fl Hs resented their demands. that they were de- barred from pleading the right of self defense.
 -That Is what you charged, your honor. and we believe it 10 error. Your honor admitted that the coopers had . right to cross that street aud to de- mard of Eenator Carmack that he cease using Colonel Coopsr's naEna Then if they had that right and if endaneer- ed the coopsrs' lives, no one can hold that they had forfsttsd their right to protect their own lives. even to the ex-

 We hold. retorted Judge Anderson, that Colonel Cooper had right to go across the street. make his demand upon Senator Carmack and with his mind made up to kill the Senator if the latter endangered CoopeF,s iife.''
 Judge Anderson Concluded his arets- ment at p. m. and court adjourned until a. nl.s tomorrow. As the baiIiff adjourned court, Captain Fitxhugh of the State aalds
 Judge Anderaon's argument Is ahso- lutely dangerous. If that were the law any two of us, for instance, could go out and look up an enemy. One of us could aggrRvate end devil him un- til he committed an overt act. then the other could kiIl T3tm and we would pleAa aslf-asfsnse. Tha iaes itaelf ia rev0tking. X
 The arguments of the defsnse. aa they proEressedg q sbelf ti,xf zsfs theory of the counsel for the Coopefa is: That Robin hred in seif-dsfense, af- ter he had received one of carniack's bullets; that whatever Colonel Cooper's intentions were in seeking Senator Carmack. Robins were pacific: that Robin therefore Is not guilty of mur- der and therefore that his father who did not fire shot, cannot be guilty.
 The State will make brief arguments tomorrow and Judge Hart will then take the motion under advisement.

MANY CANADIANS PLAN TO
SPEND CHRISTMAS ABROAD
Prosperity in the Dominion En-
ableS Rich and Poor to En-
joy Long Trip.
STEAMSHIP BOOKINGS HEAVY

st. John, N. b., Dec. 10.-The exist
ing state of prosperity throughout Can
ada Is reflected i'm the unprecedented
rush of passengers to Europe to
spend the Christmas holidays. Never
before have the steamship bookings
been so heavy at this time of year.
The Allan liner Victorian which sailed
today carried her full complement of
passengers, and the same Is true of
the c. p. n. steamship Lake Manitoba,
which will depart for the other side
tomorrow.
The majority of those going over for
the holidays will remain until spring.
Many of them are persons well-to- do,
who are in the habit of going to
Europe every year or so. Countless
others, however are of the working
classes and have put by enough saw
ings the past year to enable them to
enjoy a holiday i'm the old country and
to take back substantial presents to
the folks at home. Under present con-
ditions they do not hesitate to give
up their employment here for three or
four months, feeling confident that
they will have no difficulty i'm getting
work upon their return in the spring.

FERRY FOR LAKE SUPERIOR.
Ann Arbor Plans to Run From Mum
isins to Port Arthur.

Detroit, Mich, Dec. 10.-President
Eugene Zimmerman of the Ann Arbor
railroad, who was here yesterday. says
that the Ann Arbor road Will have a
big steel ferry built capable Of carry
ing 32 freight cars. and that it will
be operated across Lake Superior. run
ming between Munising and Port Ar
thur.
Some months ago, in August to be
exact, the Ann Arbor bought the Man
istique and Lake Superior road (for-
merly the Manistique, Marquette and
Northern), running from Manistique
northward TO Singleton, In the upper
peninsula. This is being extended to
the south shore of Lake Superior,
probably TO Munising, and it will con-
meet there with the proposed ferry
across Lake Superior.
The Ann Arbor road already has four
ferries in operation on Lake Michigan
and one of these may be used at the
inception OF the Lake Superior SER
vice, President Zimmerman says.

cURFEW is WORKING WELL.
Ordinance to Keep Children OF Streets
at Night is Enforced.

The officers are having no trouble I'm
getting the boys and girls under six
teen years of age off the streets after
o'clock each evening. The curfew
bell is doing good work. 1t is recog-
rized by the juveniles, and they may
be seen hurrylng for home as soon as
the bell begins to toll.
The officers are especially pleased.
Chief Trudell in particular is one of
the most gratiied. He has always ad-
vocated the curfew law and backed up
as he is by the members of the council
and President Schumacher. is Going ev-
erything in his power to emf rec this
village ordinance.
Parents are also cooperating, ac-
cordng to the officers one or two
youngsters who were caught tarrying
on the streets last week after the bell
had been rung, found to their sorrow
that their parents had been notified.
These youngsters are home on time
now each evening.
Janitor Schultz of the Red Jacket
town hall is ringing the curfew bell
twenty three times each evening,
which means "skdoo" home to the
children.
