Services.

MlNEOBA, n. Y. March 12.-1t took
less than three minutes for the elimina-
ton of Colonel Roosevelt as progress
slve juryman here today. The colonel s
name was drawn out OF the box for
the first time by Clerk Samuel Ransom,
when twelve men were needed to try
the action of Michael Carmody, a ff-
teen-year-old boy, who wants 100000
from the New York Central Railroad
for the loss of his two legs in an accl-
dent in Harlem.
This case had been tried once before
and verdict for $4,000 was awarded
the boy, but the appellate division set
the verdict aside on the ground that It
was excessive and, sent it back for re-
trial.
Roosevelt was drawn as Juror No. Z.
He pulled off his big fur coat and
handed it and his wide -brmmed cha
peau to the court officer. Then he set
tied back in his chair, adjusted his eye
glasses and was about to contemplate te
the scene in front of him as the twelfth
name was called.

peremptory challenges. Graham is sur
rogate of Nassau county, and at the
last election was a prominent figure in
bringing about the defeat of the COL
oloners bosom friend, Congressman w.
w. Cocks.
Roosevelt bent his glasses in a re-
proachful manner toward the belligerent
attorney as Justice Putnam broke in:
stand aside, colonel. you are ex-
cused,"
Roosevelt took his hat and coat ard
went back to the rear of the room.

what had happened.
II seem to have been excused" he
said, but l do not see why. 1t seems
hard that I should have to come here
every day for two weeks IL they do not
want to utilize my services
Later Attorney Graham, in explana-
ton of his action in eXCusing Colonel
Roosevelt, said:
THE colonel is a busy man. l think
he would be comforting a greater boon
on humanity by serving It In another
way than by sitting in this case for
three or four days. That Is the only
reason for my action
The ColOners place in the box was
finally filled by the selection of Josiah
II. Thompson. who makes a living by
longing oysters. Roosevelt was then

him as juror.
Before going back to Oyster Bay
