vENIREMEN MAKE EXCUSES.
Many Of the New Panel Seek to Escape
Duty on MCNAMARA Jury.

Los Angeles, Cal. Oct. 2s.-Nineteen
new veniremen were secured out of the
second yenire summed in the Mcnamara
murder trial. Eleven others were ex-
cused at Il preliminary hearing yester.
day before Judge Bordwell, and ten were
not served with summons because they
were out of the country. Sheriff Ham
NAL and his deputies worked all night
summonng men whose names were
drawn Thursday.
The questions, which each side con-
siders vital, have resolved themselves
into the following: Whether a talesman
believes in capita! punishment; wheth-
er he has an opinion on the guilt or in
nocenee Of the defendant which he could
not remove; whether he has also a fixed
opinion as to the cause of the explo-
sion which he could not remove; wheth-
er he has made personal investigation
of the. wreokage Of The Times build
ing and taken special interest in
the case. Fixed prejudice against labor
unions of itself thus far has not been
effective in barring talesmen, but usual.
~ the defense has been able to show
the linking Of such an opinion with a
prejudice against the defendant, who is
a member Of union, and challenges
manipulated that way have been al
lowed. Any man who has not ideas
on unionism has neither said much or
thought much OF the Mcnamara case,
aud who has not any seruples against
capital punishment, is pretty sure TO
get on the Jury. and thus far the COM
biuation has proved itself rare one.

FOR COMPULSORY INSURANCE.
German Bill Extends 1t to Two Million
Additional workmen.

Berlin. Oct. 2S.--After a short and
peaceful debate, the Reichstag has read
o first time and sent to a special COM
mittee the new bill providing for the
compulsory insurance of employees. The
purpose Of the bill is to extend without
state aid, the advantages OF compulsory
insurance against invalidity and old age
to practically all categories of employed
persons who are not subject to the pro-
visions of the "workmen's' insurance
scheme and whose incomes do not exceed
81 $50 a year 1t is calculated that the
new law will affect just over 100000
of employees. The contributions of EN-.
ployers and employed viii be equal, and
according to the government bill are
graduated up to maximum joint contri-
button. Of eight per cent. OF the insured
income The details Of the bill will
probably undergo considerable altera-
lions in committee, but, in view of the
ananimity Of all parties about the prin-
riple of the bill, its passage this session
seems to be assured.

NEXT THREE DAYS IN CHICAGO

Milwaukee, Oct. 2s. With his depar-
ture from Milwaukee for Chicago yes
terday, President Taft virtually brought
to an end the last leg of his swing
around the circle. as IL was originally
planned at Washington and Beverly.
To-day the president will start in on a
three day programme at Chicago, and
on Tuesday he will wind up the orig
inal trip at Pittsburg, the engagement
that he has made following that being
distinct from those Of the present jour
ney. In the forty-one days that Mr..
Taft has been on the road he has made,
according to the official stenographers,
more than $50 speeches and has dis
cussed all sorts Of subjects. Most OF
the speeches have been short, not more
than three or four hundred words in
length each, but there have been more
than score Of set addresses that have
reached length of twenty-five hundred
or thee thousand words.
The tariff, the vetoes of the wooden,
farmers free list, and cotton bills; the
tariff board and its composition, the
relation Of government to business, rcci-
procity in the early stages of the trip
peace and arbitration, have been the
main topics that the president has used.
but on many occasions he has turned
to farming, to the operations Of the gov
eminent departments conservation the
public domain and other questions in
the public eve. Mr.. Taft has spoken
to all sorts of crowds
Through it all the president has kept
in fine voice and only once or twice
has it become even husky. Yesterday
Mr.. Taft looked almost as fresh as when
he stepped out on the platform of the
Ideal to say good-by to Boston, Sept. Is.
With five days rest at Hot Springs,
Va, ahead of him he is expected to get
back to the capital in practically as fit
a condition as when he started on his
trip. The presidents day in Milwau-
kee included luncheon with 1900 en-
poyers and employees OF Milwaukee fac
tories and an address.
On Monday before President Taft is
handed the silver trowel with which he
is to lay the cornerstone of the new

PRAYING FOR DISSOLUTION
Called Peril to the National Gigantic
Trust Holding, at Least, Dozen
Others. the Government
Asserts.

Washington, Oct. 2S.-Now that the
governments fight to dissolve the United
States Steel corporation at Trenton
Thursday, is fairly started, there VIII
be no slow movements in battle
When the bill was filed in the United
States at Trenton Thursday for the dis
solution of the corporation and its subsi-
diaries, Attorney General Wickersham
filed certificate of public Importance.
This states that the case is Of ut
most Importance to the government and
asks that it be heard by a bench Of
four justices. Ordinarily it would be
heard by only@one.
Although the steel corporation will
have four months to make its answer
to the governments allegation that it
IS a dozen trusts within trust, "a
menace TO the nation" and practically
the most complete monopoly ever
formed, there are possibilities Of other
developments in the meantime
Attorneys for the corporation may
demur to the governments charges. In
that event, there might be delay. After
that possibility Is disposed Of, the cir
cult court probably will appoint mas
ter to hear testimony and a battle of
giants will begin.
Previous Decision Applicable,
Attorney General Wickersham and
other department of justice officials ex-
pect to make progress much more rapid
ly than was done in the Standard Oil
and Tobacco cases.
The governments view is that the SUI
preme courts decision in the oil case as
regards stockholdings and inter-hoIdings
can be applied to the steel corporation
and so expedite the case.
The government aims TO show that
the steel corporation is only giant
trust to hold at least dozen Others.
The bill charges that the Federal Steel
company, the Carnegie company OF New
Jersey, the American Steel and Wire
company of New Jersey, the National
Tube company, the National Steel com
pany, American Tin Plate company,
American Steel Hoop company and 9TH
ers are trusts in themselves and com
binations 10 monopolize trade The gov
eminent asks that all these companies
be dissolved and set back into the in
tegral units Of which they were formed.
In this respect the petition is com
plete.

kee man found dead at the Weiskopf
school week ago Tuesday evening,
when verdict was returned holding
that the deceased came to his death

death was caused by excessive use of al
|coIohc liquors. There was no evidence
introduced at the inquest which would
throw any further light on the matter.
Witnesses, however, testified that early
on the morning when the body of An
ger was found he was in a critical con
dition on account of delirium tremens.
The remains of Anger were buried in
Milwaukee last Monday afternoon and
the members of his family surviving
him had not made any demand for a

ANNUAL AUDIT IS IN
ReportofFi Financial Condition
of City Shown in Annual
Report of Auditors
GENERAL TAXES ARE GROWING

There is a large amount of interest
ing statistics in the annual report of
the audit Of the books of the city pre-
sented to the common council at it's
meeting on Monday evening by the
John Z. Reilly company of Milwaukee.
The report of the auditors does not find
any glazing errors in the books of the
city and makes few suggestions for i'm
proving them. AS in other years it has
been found that the city has been re-
miss in making some collections, but
for the most part the business Of the
city has been pretty well cleared up.
Table after table of statistics was pre-
pared by the auditors showing the con
dition of the various departments of
the city and the report goes deeply in
to the funds of the city treasury,
school board board of water commits
sioners, the library board and in fact
every board allied in any way with
the city
Perhaps the most interesting of the
series of tables is the one which makes
a comparative statement of the taxes
of the city for three years dating back
to 1908 The assessed valuation Of the
propertys both real and personal. in the
city for the three years is shown to
have been, 1905, $17,sO0,526; 1909.
$1s,661 ,5s5; and 1910, sl9, 69a.740.
The taxes for the three years com
pared shows the following figures:
State tax, 1908, $63 1858: 1909
$7s,72s.75; 1910 s66,550.es.; CITY
school tax, 1908, s34,e57.oo; 1909.
$4s,13s.75; 1910, s55,3656s.
The amount of general city taxes
levied has shown a big increase in the
three years. In 1908 the total Of GEN
eral taxes was $62,245.oI, the follow
ing year the amount jumped to
$a7,11117, and in 1910 it reached
Sis, 49l.29,
