Only Married
 Men for Jury
1 BECKER IS INsIsTENT UPON THIS
 POINT.
ELEVEN NOW IN Bo1
Three Chosen at Night session-Trial May Get Under Way Today-5eeker overruIes His Lawyer.

New York, Oct S.-Eleven jurors had been chosen to try former Police Lieut.. Charles Becker for the murder of Herman Rosenthal when Justice Golf late tonight adjourned examina- ton of talesmen until tomorrow.
 Eight jurors were in the box at the close of the afternoon session, and Jus tice Golf ordered a night session in hope that the jury could be completed and sworn before midnight. Dozens of talesmen were excused for holding opinions on the case. Three were ac- cepted by both sides, however, fol- lowing the evening recess. The twelfth juror, it is expected, will be chosen early tomorrow.
 All of Jurors Are Married.
 The jurors chosen tonight were: Clarence T. Cooley. a mechanical en- gineer; Paul T.. Kammerer, real es- tate dealer. and John g. Dillon, man. ager.
 The jury as, it stood at the end of the afternoon st ssion was characterize ed as perfect " Becker and his at- torney, John F. Mcintyre. The jurors were all prosperous looking business men, square jawed, blue eyed, with two exceptions, and of intellectual appear ance. In age they range from 35 to 45 and all are married men with children a point which Becker, who Is married insists upon as a necessary qualitica- tion. They, consisted of Harold B Skinner, an electrical salesman, chos- , en yesterday as foreman; Robert c Pursell, 8 manufacturing chemist; John B. Hardy. a retiIed merchant Edward c. Soule, an auditor; William F. Wood. a woolen merchant: Dow J lBecker. a lumber merchant; Charles J Peatt, commissary agent for rail. road, and Leslie A. Ware, a wholesal' l baker.
 Becker Overrules His Counsel.
 Mir. Mcintyre used fourteen peremp l tory challenges today on talesmen wh' | in his opinion did not measure up t | his qualifications or to whom Beckei | himself objected On several occa l sions the accused police officer over ruled his counsels choice, and no Juro | was accepted until Becker had givel his approval.
 There were only eight peremptor. | challenges on the part of the state Each side is allowed thirty. Request | of Becker's counsel to examine takes men to determine whether the l would be influenced by newspaper at tacks on the police department" o | whether they would convict on tn uncorroborated testimony of accom- plices" wers promptly denied by tn justice.

Republican Chairman Would Have Two consressmen Discuss Tariff ih connecticut--WiII Share Expense.

Haltford, Conn.,, Oct. S.-J. Henry Roraback, chairman of the republican state central committee, today sent the following letter to George Forster, chairman of the democratic state cen tral committee: q
 Text of the Letter.
 My Dear MT. Forster: learn /that Congressman Oscar w. Underwood is coming to this state to speak on Oct. IA, 15 and 16. No doubt he proposes while in Connecticut to discuss the one topic which is uppermost in all our minds at the present time that is the tariff, MT Underwood being recog- nized expert on that subject from the democratic side. I therefore suggest to you that while he Is speaking in the. state on the above named dates it would be fair and square to the voters of Connecticut who are seeking first hand information upon this question that we arrange a series of joint de- bates between Congressman Under wood and Congressman F. J. Hill.
 Will Defray Half of Expenses.
 'T- am prepared on behalf of Con gressman Hill to say that he is ready to make such an arrangement, and on behalf of the republican state central committee I offer to defray one-half of the necessary expenses for advertis- ing, halls, etc.
 Leave Verdict to Audiences. TT am sure that neither you nor I wish to assume the responsibility of misleading the voters in this campaign and if we can arrange for the ques- ton to be publicly discussed before the voters by two men of the recognized standing of Congressman Underwood | and Congressman Hill we can safely leave the verdict with their audiences. Trusting that this may appeal fla vorably to you, and soliciting your early reply;I remain,
 Yours very truly,
 "J. Fl. RORABACK," Chairman Chairman Foster Not Seen.

HOTELS IN MILK LEAGUE
Restaurants and Railroads Also
Engage in Reform.

The Department Of Health was ignored
yesterday by the New York MIX Com
mittce, when a clean milk committee"
composed Of hotel, restaurant luuchroom
and dining car service representatives,
was formed at the milk committees head
quarters. at No lO5 East 22d street. Paul
f. Taylor, secretary Of the New York
Milk Committee, said that such an or
ganizauon should long ago have been
formed by the Department OF Health.
1t was actually brought about Mr. Tay-
Tor said, as a result OF the investigation
conducted by the milk committee In tho
summer, when It was shown that poor
milk was being dispensed at 230 eating
places In the CITY. Since then. he de
clared, there had been no Indication that
the Department Of Health had remeded
matters to any marked extent although
informed OF the conditions.
Two hundred hotels and restaurants
were represented at yesterdays meeting,
as well as the dining car service Of the
Pennsylvania and the Lehigh Valley
railroads. An executive committee was
formed, which Is 70 cause tests Of milk
to be made from time TO time and 10 CO.
operate with the New York MIX Commit
tee. the Department OF Health and other
bodies IN the interest Of better milk con-
diuons In all hotels, restaurants and
Iuuchrooms and on dining cars.
This IS something that should have
been done by the Department Of Health a
long time ago" said Mr.. Taylor There
IS no doubt that conditions were even
worse in years past than when we made
our Investigations last summer. The rep
resentarves who were in conference this
afternoon are all glad to cooperate In
the plan to bring about better conditions
1t is a most important step, and one that
should be furthered untu the system Of
puryeyiug milk Is above reproach.'
The executive committee includes
Charles j. Campbell, representing the
Hotel Mems Association; II. II. Baker, OF
the dining car service Of the Pennsylvania
Railroad: Luther Chllds. J. A. Whitcomb,
Herbert Straus and Harry S. Baldwin.
The dining car problem, Mr.. Taylor de-
clared, was one the Department Of Health
should have been interested in, but from
all indications had never touched.
