ACCUSED TRIO
LOSING CONFIDENCE
Crescent City Murder Case is Delayed
in Getting jury Of
Twelve.

WATSEKA H., March 17-Al-
though it may be days before the TAX
ing of testimony in the trial OF Mrs.
Sayler, her father. John Grundel, and
Dr. William A Miller, charged with
the murder of j. ,. Sayler, the Cres-
cent City banker, is started, the de-
PENDANTS have already lost some of
their confident air. When Mrs. Sayler
appeared in court this morning, she
was pale and nervous and seemed
ready to weep at any time. The fail
ure to secure a jury has shaken the
confidence of the accused. Golda, the
seventeen-year-o daughter of Mrs.
Sayler, sat by her mother again this
morning. When court closed yester.
day sixty.six veniremen had been ex-
amined without a juror having been
seated.
That DR.. VIM r. Miller was fond of
reading stories of unique murder and
wild west adventure and was eXper-
fenced in the use of firm arms, was
the report of Chicago detectives who
have been working on the Doctors
past record. The detectives report
covers the doctors life from the time
he lived in Sharon, Pa, down to the
present time.

Egyptian Address.

LONDON, March 17.-London is
singing the praises of Teddy Roosevelt
today as never before, as the result
of his speeches at Khartoum yester
day, in which he praised British rule
in Egypt and pleaded with the young
natives to carry out the work 50 well
begun. In his brief visit to Khartoum,
Englishmen admit, Colonel Roosevelt
has done England more good than
an army og government officials could
have done in, year. His speeches
will have powerful effect in quieting
the unrest of large part of the popu-
lation. 1t is conceded that no one
else could have made the talk SO ef-
fectively as Colonel Roosevelt. Similar
words, coming from an Englisbmau,
could not possibly have had the same
influence owing to the self-interest of
the speaker.

DAYTONA, Fla, March 17--Barney
oldfield, driving against time from
q flying start In 200 horsepower
automobile of special design, covered
the fastest mile ever travelled by man
His time was 27.33 seconds. Nothing
projected into space by man save a
bullet ever travelled mile at equal
speed
The previous record was set here
four years ago by Marriott, who drove
a special steam car mile in $500
seconds Oldfield's rate was 1917
miles an hour.
Returning to the starting line be-
tween files of cheering spectators,
Oldfield ran his car from standing
start a mile against time, and crossed
the finish line with another record,
| 4053 seconds. as against 41.23 seconds
made with the same car by Hemmery
on the Brookfields track in England.
In the flying start effort, Oldield
came down the rock-like surface of
the track to the starting line an indis-
tinguishable blur of roaring flame and
smoke. Almost before the eye was
adjusted to the changing perspective
of flight he had dwindled in the dis
/ tance and almost before the brain
had taken the Impress of sight into
realization he had crossed the finish
line. The timing was done with a
mechanical device officially adopted
by the American Automobile associa-

The best previous official record for
mile from flying start by gaso-
