HEIKE JURY SWORN IN,
AND TRIAL COMMENCES.
Defense's Request for Peremp-
tory Challenges Is Denied.

NEW YORK, May 17.-At noon today
after counsel for both sides in the
Heike trial had exhausted their three
peremptory challenges the jury was
sworn in.
John 3. Stanchfield for the defense
asked that as the crimes alleged were
committed prior to 1910 the defendants
were entitled to ten peremptory chal~
lenges. Judge Martin overruled this
motion, and Special Attorney Stimson
then opened the case for the prosecu-
ton.
The question was asked each of the
talesmen today by Henry l.. Stimson,
the special government prosecutor in
charge OF the sugar cases, Have you
been approached by any n since you
were called as a t~alesmang"
Mr.. Stimson did not develop any af-
firmative replies to his queries. None
of the jurors had been approached.
1t was learned that IN Tole.
president of big Six" Typographical
Union, had reported yesterday that he
had been approached soon after he was
called as a ta1esman. Tole was ex-
cused from service in the Heike trial
and instructed to return to court Mon
day next,
Later Mr.. Stimson determined to find
out all about the socalled approach
ing" hence his questioning of each
talesman if he had been accepted Oh
behalf of Heike or any of the five men
on trial.
Shortly before noon the jury was
completed.

Dr. WATSON
LAUDS BROTHER IN
QUITTING PULPIT
Resigned Long Island Passionate
to Take Up Fight on
Prohibition.

Emphatically indorsing the stand
taken by the Rev. DIR. William A. Was
son, of Grace Protestant Episcopal
Church at Riverhead, l.. l., who has
resigned his pastorate so as to devote
his whole time to fighting prohibition.
his brother, the Rev. DR.. Edmund A.
WATSON, rector of st, Stephens Church,
this city, had this to say today:
MY brother had a good many invi-
tations from business men and others
interested in public affairs to speak
and to write against the fanatical pro-
hibition efforts in different parts OF the
country. North, East, South and West.
He has not been able to accept very
many of these invitations because of
his duties to his church. The accept
ance of these invitations would neces-
state leaving on trips. But he has
studied the subject for many years;
he has learned to understand it by OBJ
servation, and he thinks the time has
come for him to ~disengage himself from
the combining duties of a local pastor
and to take UP this question as his sole
concern.
81 night say right here that he and [
are collaborating on a book, which we
hope to publish next fall, on the liquor
question. He will give up his time this
summer to his share of this work with
such lectures, addresses and writings
as he may be called upon to offer. Be
sides this the editor of a prominent
New York newspaper has asked him
to write a series of articles on the local
option question.

THIRD DEGREE
CHARGES PROBEO
BY POLICE HEADS
Chief Corbitt. Back from Savan-
nah, Tells of DOings at
Big Convention.

Chief of Police Michael I. Corbitt re-
turned today from the annual conven-
ton of police chiefs, which was held
at Savannah. Ga. In addition to say
ing that he enjoyed the trip, he stated
that the convention was deeply inter-
esting from start to finish, as many
important matters were discussed and
acted upon.
Among the matters was the so-called
third degree" which some prisoners
are said to be subjected to in order to
get the information desired, and the
disposition of Juvenile prisoners after
they are arrested. Both subjects were
thoroughly gone into, and resulted in
committees being appointed to investi-
gate and report at the next 'conven-
ton.
The so-ealled third degree, as some
of the newspapers will have it, said
the chief, was the cause of a very
long debate, and the abuse which has
been made of it in some cities was
roundly condemned, for while it was
realized that it Is necessary for the
police TO question prisoners pretty
closely in order to get clues that will
assist in unearthing crimes, yet it was
not believed that they subjected them
to the brutality, as published in the
newspapers, that are not over careful
about what they do publish.
Third Degree Scored.
The third Degree continued the
chief, IVA recognized by a number of
the speakers as being originated by
newspapers, and whether there was
any real cause for the term as used
was questioned by man. OF the dele
gates. because none OF those who spoke
on the subject expressed themselves as
being aware that there was any such
brutality used as alleged in the news
papers.
"As 1 have said" he added, at was
denounced and a committee was APP
pointed to investigate the matter for
collective action at the next meeting,
and in the meantime individual efforts
will be made to see that prisoners are
not abused during the absence of the
heads of the department.
THE committee" said the chief, will
be composed of one man from each
State, and the chief of the Plainfeld
will represent New Jersey
OH the committee"
In speaking about the question that
was brought up about the caring Of
juvenile prisoners, Chief Corbitt said
that was another broad subject, be-
cause juvenile prisoners had to be
divided into two classes; those who
were arrested for the first time and
those who had been placed on proba-
ton once or twice.
