INTEREST IN DIARY
 CAR OF SOUTHERN
One of Most Complete Modern Dairy Demonstrations Ever Seen
 in the South

The dairy demonstration car of the Southern Railway company has probably attracted as much attention among those
 interested in the scientific methods of con ducting dairy, as any other feature of the Fair.
 The special cars equipped with all the | modern dairy devices and appliances are on the grounds in charge of two experts, who not only explain all the features of the demonstration cars, but are distribut- ing literature showing the best methods of raising and taking care of all kinds of live stock.
 Among the phamphlets they are dis tributing are "Dairying in the South;" Aids to the Prevention of Hog Cholera;" Pointers for the Southern Dairyman;' Suggestions for the Southern Poultry man." and Helps for the Home Maker" " These phamphlets have been compiled by leading authorities on these subjects and are concise and practical They are free
 and are given to all who visit the demon- straton car
 Equipment Complete The dairy equipment of the car Is com plete and strictly up to date. Among the devices shown and explained are a sani- tary milking pail milking stool. cream separator, churn, butter worker. butter print bottle filler. milk tester, and steam boiler. Carefully prepared charts show the results of the improved methods Of dalrying and give valuable information in regard to getting the best results from the operation of the dairy. Everything in connection with the car and dairy dem onstration is very practical and has been tried and proven true. It is well worth a visit; the most up to date dairymen can profit by the expert and practical demonstration shown. The car is in charge of C. N Morgan and Carlton Ball The Southern Railway company has also one of the most complete agricultural
 exhibits shown at the Fair. Every va
 rety of fruit. grain, cereal, hay, cotton seed products, tobacco, corn, garden pro
 duce, native grasses. and number Of va
 rieties of hay grown without cultivation
 and everything that is produced from the
 soil is shown in profusion. The display Is
 magnificent and in addition to the great
 variety is tastefully and artistically ar
 ranged. The exhibit is in the main agri-
 cultural building and is in charge of W.
 l.. Henderson of the land and industrial
 department of the railroad. It Is un-
 doubtedly one of the best exhibits of the
 Fair

Becker Has Lost Weight

That Becker had lost weight as the result of his two months confinement in the Tombs was apparent to those who knew him when he entered the court room That he was mentally alert, how ever. became apparent from the manner in which he studied each talesman
 Frequently he would signal his counsel for a conference while the latter was in the midst of d volley of questions. No spectators were allowed in the court room with the solitary exception of the ac- cussd officers wife, a frail looking little woman who sat far back in the room, a solemn anxious listener.

BECKER TRIAL IS SLOW: ONE JUROR ACCEPTED IN DAY Many Talesmen AcknOwl- edge They Have Formed
 Opinion DETECTIVES GUARD ATTORNEY WHITMAN Big Jack" Zelig Buried With All the Pomp That the East Side Can
 Give-Police Prevent
 Disorder

New York October 7.-Charles H. Beck CT, the police lieutenant who was in com mand of the strong arm squad" of po- lice gambling raiders, was placed on trial today for the alleged murder of Herman Rosenthal, the gambler VINO was alleged to have betrayed the system
 Out of IA examined from the special panel of 25o veniremen called for jury duty, only one juror had been chosen when the days session closed. He was Harold Skinner, an electrical engineer. Of the other 13 talesmen, three were peremptorly challenged by the state and four by the defense. Becker himself in- structing his counsel, John r. Mcintyre, to make the challenges in each case. The others were discharged for bias or other cause by counsel
 Examination Is Slow
 The examination progressed so slowly that Justice Golf in adjourning tho case threatened to hold night sessions if the jury was not picked by o'clock tomor- row afternoon. One of the peremptory challenges of the prosecution was exer- cised on the first talesman called after he had said that he was former mem- Der of the police force.
 In nearly every instance talesmen acknowledged that they had formed opin- ions on the case from reading the news papers and those who were disqualified declared that their opinions would influ- ence their verdict. The criterion of the fitness of a juror as established by Dis trict Attorney Whitman at this period. was based chiefly on whether the tales men knew any member of the police de- pertinent. any of counsel for the defense, or members of any of the detective agen- cies employed by the defense in getting evidence.
 The questions of Mr. Mcintyre were timed to determine whether the talesman had any acquaintance with any of the states witnesses or any members of the grand jury which indicted Becker. At torney Mcintyre declared that he had ac- cepted Skinner because he believed he had "a logical mind capable of analyzing character

Zelig Is Buried


 New York, October Big Jack Zs- liz, the gunman, was buried today with all the pomp the E,astside could give Rival gangs declared a truce to attend his funeral. His body was borne to the grave through streets lined three and four deep with onloollers, with d train numbering thousands as all escort.
 The police were fearful that gang fighters would settle their differences at the funeral and have had guard near the body of the gunman ever since he was killed Saturday night. Twenty pa trolmen and 30 detectives kept the crowd in the streets moving today For several hours the body lay in state in Zeligs flat in Broome street, and hundreds viewed 1t.
 A squadron of mounted police met the funeral train in Brooklyn and accom- panied 1t to the cemetery,
 To Search Spectators
 When the inquest into Zelig's death is held on Wednesday every person who enters the coroners office will be searched. This will be done. according to Coroner Holthauser, to prevent fire arms being brought into the room, for the coroner has heard rumors that some of the dead gangman's friends might seek revenge for Zeligs murder at the inquest.
 The police in their effort to learn defi- nitely the motive of Red Phil" David son in killing Zelig, declare that Da- vdson associated with an Eastside gang which held up and robbed card gamblers and that Helig earned the hatred of this gang by gathering his followers and beating up the gangsters one by one
 Lieutenant Detective Bosworth has been assigned to Investigating a story that Zelig had $500 in his possession when he was killed. At the morgue the officials declared only s2.34 was found on the body.

Sense of Hunger and Thirst.

Whether the hunger sense has its seat
in the stomach and thirst in the throat
has been a subject of much scientific

Eyes Get the First Attention.

There is no such disguise as that OF
the eyes. If we want to get an i'm
preston of a persons face we have to
look at the eyes. You will find this
in any railway carriage or public con-
veyance. You are interested in a
face; you fix your eyes on the opposite
eyes. If the eyes meet both fall; the
eyes drop alphabetically. for the in
quiry is too intimate. The two people
know well enough. though neither may
be an artist, that you cannot get an i'm
preston of the face by looking at the
chin or the forehead or the nose. You
must look straight at the eyes-the
window OF the soul-and the face be-
comes a recognizable unit. The best
disguise. as burglars and grownup chill
dren know, is the mask that covers the
eyes only.-London Standard.
