Juror Charged with Bribery.

New York, Nov. Charged with
soliciting and accepting a bride, of $500
to "hang" the jury frying Edward 7.
Rosenheimer, the millionaire, for the
alleged murder of Miss Grace Jough by
striking her with his automobile,
George w. Yeandle, an architect, Sc
lected as juror No. Z, was arrested to-
day. In default OF $4,000 bail. he
was remanded to the tombs for exami-
nation Thursday.
Yeandle was juror in the trial OF
Nan Patterson, the beauty OF. the Flora
dora sextette, when the chorus girl was
charged with killing Caesar Young, the
wealthy bookmaker. The police say
that Yeandle today admitted hang
ing" the Patterson jury for consldera-
ton OF $500. Arrested with Yeandle
was Dagobert Timondoffer, builder,
charger with being the man who con-
Quoted the negotiations for the attempt
ed bribery.
IT was Roscnheimer's own attorneys
James W. Osborne, who told the story
in chambers to Justice O'Gorman,
presiding at the Rosenheimer trial.
At the instigatiou of District Attorney
Whitman, Osborne continued the ne
gotiations and when Yeandle was lock-
ed up. The money in marked bills is
said to have been found in his pocket.
The statement that Yeandle hung
the Nan Patterson jury will probably
cause an investigation into that trial.
The Rosenheimer case was opened TO-
day, Justice O'Gorman announced that
by consent OF attorneys for both sides,
Juror No.. Z had been excused. 1t was
noted that juror No. Z was Yeandle,
who had served on the Patterson jury,
which had disagreed.
Court officers tried 10 keep the affair
quiet so that it would have no effect on
the other Rosenheimer jurors, and il
was only when Yeandle and Timmond-
offer we're arraigned in the TombS
police court that the facts became
known

rate drivers at $50; transfer and schedule
men $40: single wagon drivers SEQ;
chauffeurs $50; first helpers $50 and
other helpers $50, together with an
eleven-hour work day, the elimination
of Sunday work as much as possible
and several minor concessions.
The ranks OF the strikers were today
augmented TO about 5000 men by the
going out OF all express platform men
including the Weighers, checkers and
porters.

ALEXANDRIA, VA.
TUESDAY EVENING. NOV. l

THE headquarters in Washington o.
the democratic congressional campaign
committee will be practically closed TO-
dsv as at this late stage of the contest
there is really very little more to do.
From information believed TO be en-
tircly reliable the democrats confident
" claim that approximately 90 congress
sional districts in states north OF the
Potomac river, which in this Congress
are represented 10y republicans. will be
lost to the republicans on November $.
Information that has come to hand
within the past week appears to bear
ont the claim also that two OF the three
republican representatives from Ken
tucky will be defeated. They are Judge
BENNETT iii the Ninth and John W..
Langley in the Tenth district. Accord
ing to the democratic forecast at this
time they will gain not less than the
number of seats named below IN the
following states north OF The Potomac;
Massachusetts, 9; New Hampshire, |;
Rhode Island, /; Connecticut, ,; New
York, 5; Pennsylvania, 6; Maryland,
3: New Jersey, 9, and Delaware. l. II
the expected landslide arrives they
hone TO do even better than that, but
Chairman Lloyd and his assistants
think they arc conservative in this es-
innate and have information they re-
gard as reliable on which 10 base the
claim.
The democrats do not admit they
will lose single district in tho south
ern states that is now represented III
the House by democrat. They also
confidently assert they will pick up
several seats which are now filled by
republicans. One OF these is in Vir-
GINA, and while It may appear bold to
assert that Congressman Slemp will be
leaten in the Ninth district OF this
state, yet all the signs point to such a
result. Henry G. Stuart. the demo-
cratic opponent OF Mr.. slemp, is lated
rs the very strongest democrat who
could possibly have been brought out
this wear in the Ninth district. He Is
reported to be making 4 most favorable
impression upon the voters. and his
campaign tactics have been unusually
aggressive. Former Governor Swanson
who has been speaking in the district,
writes friends that he has not the slight
est doubt of Stuart's election, even
though Slcmp had several thousand
majority two years ago. Chairman
Lloyd's adyices from number OF DIS
,ricts in the west and on the Pacific
slope are to the effect that the demo-
Gratis are certain Of winning enough dis
ricts in those sections to give them 4
majority in the next House, even
should the expected gains in the east
fall below the estimates given above.
