Fate of Mrs. Laura Farms
worth SChenk in Balance.
DEBATE CASE AGAIN TODAY
Woman Closely Scans Every Face as
Members File in Court.

WHEELING, W. Va, January 26.-
Much refreshed after a night Of quiet
at their hotel the jurors who are pass
ing on the guilt or innocence Of Mrs.
Laura Farnsworth Schenk for the at
tempt to poison her husband, John o.
Schenk, entered the courtroom this
morning and almost Immediately
proceeded to the jury room, where
they will again go over the
case. Judge Jordan was on the
bench, and one of the Jurors inquired
II he might ask a question in open
court concerning some Of the evidence.
He was told to put 1t in writing, and
the court would consider 1t. =
Mrs. Schenk closely scanned the
faces Of the jurymen as they slowly
filed out Of the courtroom and across
the corridor to their room. She looked
much better than when court closed
last night. for at that time she COL
lapsed and was quite i'll after reaching
her cell in the tower. She listened to
the discussion going on around her as
to the probability Of the jury reach
ing an agreement, that being the sole
topic, without reference as to what
the verdict might be.
Apparently Wheeling believes that when
/
hung jury, and sentiment is much In
this direction in the Schenk case. If the
jury is unable to agree It will be dis
charged, and the case tried again, likely
in the circuit court of Ohio county.
Jury Asks Court Instructions.
Soon after the jury retired 1t announced
it's desire to communicate with the court,
and it was called back to the box. AS ii
slowly filed into its place the foreman
presented a number of questions in writ
ing. They had to deal with the evidence
of Florence Coleman. negro domestic.
who had been employed by the Schenk
family and had testified regarding certain
persons in the house on given days.
AS the court stenographer was i'll today
it was necessary to secure another ste.
nographer who Immediately began goins
through the notes of the trial in search OF
| the evidence wanted. Meantime the jury
retired again.
The substitute court stenographer at II
o'clock was still searching for the testi-
mony of the negro maid. The woman
testified that the day Mrs. Schenk, her
husband and the detective nurse went
for ride there were other persons In
the house. Two of them, she said, were
domestics, but she knew nothing about
them.
Testimony Was Unexpected.
One of the women was the detective
domestic who had been placed in the
Schenk house by a detective agency and
who was discharged by Mrs. Schenh
after thirty-six hours because she could
not do the work. The Coleman woman's
testimony was a surprise to both sides
and was blurted out without a question
| The prosecutor attempted to have her
| say she had been mistaken, but she re-
fused to reconsider her evidence.
In his address to the jury ]. j. p
o. Rrien said that during the absence OF
the others one or both of these persons
might have placed poison in the water
The courtroom was again Alled to its
capacity, but the waiting crowds In the
streets have been sensibly reduced by the
rain.

Jury IS STILL OUT PLEAS FOR CAPITAL
Senate. Committee to Hear
Canal Celebration Arguments.
NOT IN FIELD AS RIVAL
Local Plans Would Not Interfere
With Other Projects.

Opportunity for presenting the 2rgu-
ments for the holding OF an Official cele-
bration in Washington Of the opening of
the Panama canal will be given by the
Senate committee on industrial exposi.
tions during the hearings 1t has arranged
upon bills authorizing the holding of an
exposition at either New Orleans or San
Francisco.
Former Commissioner Henry B. F.
Mcfarland, chairman of the joint COM
mittee of the Board of Trade and Cham
ber Of Commerce on the celebration of
the opening Of the isthmian canal, called
on Senator Jones, chairman Of the Senate
committee, this morning, and requested
that representatives of the local commit
tee. be heard. Senator Jones granted the
request at once, and it is probable the
Washington proposition will be discussed
before the committee for about ten min
utes.
Hearing Is Postponed.
1t had been expected that the relative
claims, of the Crescent city and the Gold
en- Gate city would be heard by the Sem
ate committee this morning. but Senator
Foster asked that the hearings be post
poned because he is i'll. The hearings will
$50 o'clock; and the Washington repre-
sentatives will likely be heard near the
close.
1t is proposed by the joint committee
OF the two Washington trade bodies that
a new section shall be included In what
ever bill the Senate committee favors,
providing:
THAT the, President of the United States
shall appoint commission of nine men,
bers to prepare for a celebration, with
annrOnYiQtQ hV, hn nit tod
states government, In which the repre-
sentatives OF foreign governments shall
be invited to participate, in the city of
Washington at the opening of the Pana-
ma canal; that said commission be au-
thorized to appoint an advisory commit
tee OF one member from each, state and
territory of the Union. upon the nomina-
ton OF the governor OF each state and
port its plans to Congress at its next
regular session"
1hIs is In line with the suggestions that
were made to the House committee, anu
the proposition has been drafted and re-
Gently submitted to that committee as an
amendment to the bill 1t has reported.
1t will be stated In behalf of the local
committee that 1t does not present this
proposition In opposition to any others
which have been suggested nor in oppo-
sitfon to the plan Of Senator Swanson
of Virginia for naval fete at Hampton
roads, nor In opposition to Representa-
tive ]. Hampton Moore's plan for a me-
mortal building here. In the view of the
Washington committee. 1t is understood,
the Swanson plan will fit well into the
plans advocated by it, The Swanson plan
contemplated that representatives of for
eign governments on the fleets Of the
foreign governments that will assemble in
Hampton roads shall come to Washington
to participate in an official celebration
Of the opening Of the canal here. They
would come. 1t is pointed out, for the
celebration which the Washington propo-
sition contemplates.
No Known Opposition.

No Known Opposition.

In like manner. 1t Is contended. the COM
pletion Of a memorial proposed by Rep
resentative Moore will add more interest
to the fete planned here. 1t is also pointed
out that the paragraph drafted by the
washington committee will f1t in either
a resolution naming New Orleans as the
exposition site or a resolution designating
San Francisco:
Chairman Mcfarland said this morn
ing that he had heard no opposition to
the Washington proposition from either

for holding the governmental celebration
Of q governmental achievement in the
governmental capital where the perma-
nent governmental exhibits are to be seen
we're so self-evident that little time would
be taken at the hearing to enlarge upon
them.
