GAYNOR TAKES
 HAND IN STRIKE

New York, November 9.-Mayor Gay nor issued two characteristic letters tonight which promise to bring the strike of express company employees to a head tomorrow. Briefly. he forbids the operation of wagons by unlicensed drivers, thus eliminating the strik e. breakers upon which the companies have depended.
 Mayor Wittpenn of Jersey. City has already taken this stand and a test case Is now In the Jersey courts
 More than 10000 drivers and helpers, augmented by most of the taxicab chauffeurs in New York are still on strike and rioting is unabated. John Williams, state commissioner of labor, is due here from Albany tomorrow and with Mayor Gaynor's action and a threat of state intervention 1t is hoped that a settlement will be reached.
 No decision has been reached by the coal drivers on the question of a sym pathetic strike nor has a general strike been ordered Al mass meeting to con slider the advisabilIty of general strike has been postponed indefinitely.

STATE OF MISSOURI i IS STILL IN DOBUT

St. Louis, November 9.-The official count probably will be required to de- termine whether the republicans or whether the democrats carried Missouri for the state ticket in yesterdays elec- tion. The result is still in doubt tonight with both sides claiming victory.
 With only three-fourths of the precincts in the state heard from the anti-prohibi- tion victory seems greater than at first reported. Indications now point to a majority in excess of 175,000 against the proposed amendment. The most surpris- ing feature of the Missouri election as the exceptional plurality for the repub- lican ticket in St. Louis. The average is now nearly 30,0O0.
 The democrats claim a majority of 5l on joint ballot in the legislature on un- official returns. Except for the Seventh district, where Holmes Hall republican, claims to have defeated Courtney w. Hamlin, democrat, the congressional situ- atlon remains unchanged.

Down in the financial dis trict and uptown in Peacock Alley and the hotel corridors 1t is estimated that fully $1,000,000 changed hands,
 One curb broker is said to have handled S35o,000. Fred Brooks the old time betting commissioner, says he placed $250,000. Another made $500O in commissions and $20000 in banking his own Judgment Oddly enough the heaviest individual loss reported befell a man who bet on Dix but placed his plurality at 85,000 or better

Farmers on the Jury

The case will be heard by a jury composed entirely of residents of the rural districts of middle age or older. With the exception of one, A. M. Blair, the first man called, who explained that at present he Is unemployed, all of the men gave their vocation as farmers the majority emphasizing the fact that they were life- time tillers of the soil Twenty-three prospective jurors were called and 1t required only one hour and quarter to complete the panel Seven were excused by the court on personal reasons and four were chal- ienged, the prosecution and defense sharing equally in the exercise of their pre-emptory privilege.
 None were excused by the court for cause.
 At the request of the prosecution wit nesses will be excluded from the court room. but adverse to the pleadings of District Attorney Todd the jury will be permitted to be their own keepers It was especially sought by the gov ernment that they be under the super vision of a court officer throughout tn trial.

 The defense explained that, while they have plenty of prospective Wit neses. they will ask for no summons nroducing the witnesses of their own volition as they see fit Other than this at the morning session the jury was sworn, especial rules of procedure were laid down by the court and preliminary objections of the defense as to the ju- risdiction of the court and the regular ity of the services secured on the de- fendant corporation were overruled.
 t<%.. Nf IA n of inc government was begun with the reconvening of court for the after noon session. Because of the length of the indictments only excerpts cover ing the most essential allegations were read.

nEaust. At shuhert

A thoroughly enjoyable presentation Of Gounod's immortal Faust sung in English, closed the Birmingham engage ment of the Aborn English Grand Opera company last night at the Shubert
 It was easily the best of the three operas presented by the company during the stay here, and was deserving of a much larger audience than was present. It was. hardly expected that the com pany could rise easily to the sublimity of Faust with it's exacting require ments for artistic excellence. and those of the audience who had attended "Il Tro- vatore" on the preceding night were de- lightfully surprised.
 Signor Dominico Russo, the principal star of the company, sang the part or Faust almost fautlessly While his in- depreciation of the role of the unsuitable seeker after knowledge was by no means what 1t might have been, Russo was at all times equal to the music. In the love scene with Marguerite he was little short of superb, though, as to interpretation. he was more the arduous youthful lover than Faust, the bla SC seeker for unat- tained knowledge. Russo was in prime voice, singing his part in Italian, and his work exceled by far that of the pre- vious night, when he was heard as Manrico in Trovatore.
 Miss Edith Helena was also heard to better advantage than previously. Miss Helena sang the part of Marguerite In la manner thoroughly. acceptable. She showed deep insight and appreciation of the character. exhibiting especially much skill in the development of the various moods of Marguerite. Her acting was excellent throughout and her rich so- prano voice was at all times heard to advantage.
 Miss Louise LeBaron was given less op- portunity in the role of Seibel, Fausts rival for the love of Marguerite, but in such scenes as she had her contralto tones were very effective.
 The weak point of the presentation was lMephistophees. William Schuster. # does not require a critic to discern. Is

CITIZENS PETITION ID STOP STREET FAIRS Committee Discusses High Wa
 ter Rates GIVE CONCERT TONIGHT Under Direction of Mrs. Ike Marks the Musicale in High School Auditorium Promises To
 Be Big Success
GIVE CONCERT TONIGHT

Bessemer, November 9.-(Special.)- In response to a petition signed by many of the leading business men of the city, asking that the city council grant no more licenses for street fairs and shows of like character and claim ing that this clas of attraction is det- rimental to the business interests of the city,a special meeting of the city council was held tonight to take up the matter of granting license to the approaching street carnival which is to be given under the auspices of the Eagles.
 George Ross. president of the city council stated the purpose of the cah.
 A lengthy discussion followed in which nearly every alderman took part. Alderman LaRue stated that. from the fact that the council had granted free license to the Elks for similar pur- pose, 1t was only fair to give the Eagles the same privilege. He further stated, however, that after January 1. when the new license schedule is adopted, he would oppose any further grants Of this character. It was finally decided to grant a free license to the Eagles to hold the fair. The vote was 4 to 2.
 After the council had ajourned the water works committee met to hear complaints as to the alleged exorbi- tant rates charged by the company. Judge B. c. Jones. c. R. Fountain, W. c. Terry and other citizens spoke be- fore the committee and presented their grievances.
 J. F. Cannon. superintendent of the water works, spoke in reply and said the rates were not unreasonable, and that the company tried to be just in all their relations with the consumer. Only two of the committee were present. The committee will report back to the coun- cil next Tuesday nigth.

ring Ring.

BEN LOMOND, Cal. April s.-ClimbIns
mountain trails and wading the pools
where trout abound, formed the greater
part Of James J. Jeffries' training today.
Manager Sam Berger had announced that
there would be boxing today with Bob
Armstrong, the giant negro pugilist. but
the lure Of the woods was too strong for
Jeffries. and besides the roof was not off
the gymnasium.
Jim is going in strong for the CLOSE
to nature cult He plans to sleep out Of
doors, eat out OF doors and do all his box
ing In an open air gymnasium. There win
be a wall around It so that visitors to the
camp win not be able to see the great
fighter in action without paying.
After his usual morning roadwork. which
called for a ten-miie jaunt this morning.
Jeftries and local trout-hooking expert
started along the San Lorenzo river to
seek the pools where the speokled beau
ties hide. They were successful, bringing
into camp string OF seventy fish.
In the afternoon the skipping rope was
brought into play. Jeffries worked at this
for about ten minutes. He complained OF
stiffness in his armg and shoulders, but
after the handball was brought out and he
had worked at that at his usual hreakneck
pace for an hour or 80 he said that he
felt all right. The first boxing now is
scheduled for Saturday. but 1t depends
upon whether the gymnasium is ready by
that time.
Berger left camp for San Francisco to-
day. Just before ne took the train he tele-
graphed a good offer to Joe ChOynski 10

was requested TO reply Immediately 50 that
