JURY QUESTION PUTS
JUDGE IN QUANDARY

"Wanted--A jury was the cry that
went forth from Judge Harry V. Os-
horne's court at 1890 this morning,
but. strange to say, not juror was
available.
This may sound strange in these
days when we hear so much of
Judge drawn juries; misunderstanding
juries, ETC.; put, strange as 1t may
seem, it is the naked truth. and Judge
Osborne was compelled to CLOSE up
shop" so to speak, for the remainder
of the day. -
And it all came about in this way.
About GAS a. m. a jury reported and
hung about for some time until they
were told by court attendants from
the various courts that there was no
need of their services. In Judge Mar
tins court a jury was sitting; Judge
Adams had a hold-over case which
did not require a jury; Judge DUNCAN
was away today, and Judge Osborne's
calendar was apparently filled with
cases that did not require a jury
However, the latter disposed of his
cases quicker than had been calcu-
lated and when a criminal case came
up there was no jury in sight.
Who was responsible for the situa-
tion is not known; but it is said the
court attendants in the various
courts passed the tip to one another
and in this way the tip to leave was
passed to the jurors.

.FERRARA TELLS OF
SHOOTING BROTHER

Joseph Ferrara. accused of the muir
der of his brother, Salvatore, during
a quarrel on June 81. last, in the yard
of their home. % Calumet street.
took the stand in his own defense to-
day in the Court of oyer and Ter
miner, before Judge William p Mar
tin.
Ferraras testimony was practically
confederation of the testimony
given yesterday by witnesses for the
State and tended to show that he
had acted in self defense, when he
fred a shot from a small revolver,
which his brother had in his posses
sion and was trying to use on Joseph
Ferrara.
The quarrel arose, according to the
accused man. over the fact that Sal
vatore insisted on furnishing meals
for a number of his friends, while
Joseph objected to the expense, claim
inf that he and his brother should
save up their money for the benefit
of their parents, who were in Italy.
old and unable to work.
Salvatore, according TO Joseph's
story, became abusive and finally
picked up a piece of iron pipe and
hit Joseph over the head. After doing
this Salvatore ran to his coat, which
was hanging on a fence and attempt
ed to get a revolver out of the pocket.
Joseph knew the revolver was there
and struggled with his brother for
the possession of the coat.
According to his testimony the gun
went off while both men had their
hands on the coat, each trying to
take the revolver out of the pocket
Joseph to prevent his brother from
using it, and Salvatore, so Joseph
claims, to shoot him. The bullet
struck Salvador and he died several
hours later.
The version of the killing told on
the stand by Joseph agrees exactly
with that told by several eye-wit-
nesses for the State, who testified
yesterday.
At the conclusion of the cross-ex-
animation of Ferrara by First Assist
ant Prosecutor Wilbur A. Mott, dur
ing which Ferrara's direct statements
were unbroken, the defense put or
a few character witnesses and CLOSED
its case. ]. Victor D'Aloia, who with
Jerome T. Congleton, defended Fer
rara, made splendid plea for the &C
ouittal of the prisoner on the grount
that it had been shown conclusivel,
that he had acted in self-defense.
The case will go to the jury fol
its deliberations late this Afternoon
and it is expected that a speedy yer
dict will be reached, as an acquitta
is expected in the case. even by tn
State.

EXHAUSTION KILLED
CAPTAIN SCOTT
Supporting Party Member De-
scribes Finding the Bodies
of Antarctic Martyrs.

WINNIPEG, Man., May 6.-Exhaus-
ton, and not starvation, was the
cause of the death of Captain Scott
and the men who died with him on
their way back from the South Pole,
according to Lieutenant Gran, a mem
Der of the supporting party which
found the bodies. Lieutenant Gran
stopped off in this city for a few
hours on his way to London.
THE end of the party apparently
was peaceful" declared Gran. When
we came up to the tent in which the
bodies lay something seemed to tell
US that the end for them had come.
Lieutenant Wright, of Toronto, a
Canadian, who commanded our little
party, approached the tent first and
lifted the flap. Captain Scott lay on
his back as II asleep, but outside of
his sleeping bag. DIR. Wilson and
Lieutenant Bowers were in their
sleeping bags, and it was apparent
that they had been carefully wrapped
up by Captain Scott, who evidently
was the last to die.
Lieutenant Bowers lay on his side,
-
exactly as If he were asleep. DR.
Wilson was sitting in a half reclin-
ing position, his back against the in
side of the tent, facing us as we en-
tered. On his features were the traces
of a faint smile, and he looked exact
ly as If he were about to awaken
from a sound sleep. I had often
seen the same look on his face in the
morning as he awakened. as he was
of most cheerful disposition. The
look struck us to the heart, and we
all stood silent in the presence Of
death"
Gran has in his possession SCOTS

from Vancouver to New York. Thence
he will go to London to attend the
meeting of the Royal Geographical
Society on May %.

MOOSE GLAD OF
REUNION PLAN
Chairman Anderson Comedies
with Colby and Predicts
Event Within Month.

Former Assemblyman W. De La
Roche Anderson, chairman OF the
Progressive Republican League, is
jubilant at the possibilities of the
Progressives and Progressive Repub-
licans Joining hands and putting a
ticket in the field this fall.
Mr. Anderson's statement was
brought about by the statement made
by former state Senator Everett
Colby printed in the Evening Star
last Friday, and which stirred up
comment in all parts of the state.
Mr.. Anderson's statement is as fol-
lows:
when the State Progressive Re-
publican League met at Trenton and
organized last December was au-
thorized to appoint State committee
to consist of one member in each
county. The State is now perfectly
organized but difficulty was exper-
fenced in getting the kind of men
we wanted, in fact some of those who
were Progressives last year are now
Republicans or office-seeldng Progress
sives. / can safely say, that | am
not an office-seeker and my commit
tee confirms what Mr.. Colby is re-
ported to have said in regard TO the
rank and file of both sides coming
together. 1t appears that the re-
union will come out by itself in about
a month and without the aid of any
man or organization to stimulate it's
action.
Apparently it would seem now
adays party lines, whether Demo-
cratic, Republican or Progressive. lie
so lightly that a persons aff1liation is
no ban to what he will support from
year to year in politics. This is
exemplified by great many people
who have been approached to become
actively connected in our organiza-
ton, refusing to do so on the grounds
that they wish to be independent,
while at the same time they consider
themselves to be of one party or
another.
That seems to be the spirit of the
times. OF course, the men who are
active in their organizations use their
organizations to present their candi-
dates, but the people themselves are
little interested in them as organiza-
tions. The question is. to the people,
whether the party in majority has
delivered the goods or not, and they
vote accordingly.
when the league was first started
sent a communication to Mr.. Colby,
knowing him to be sincerely Progress
sive, not an officeseeking Progressive
or radical, and urged him tosg go into
the middle of my movement, pre-
Stunning other men who did not be-
lieve the Republican party was up to
date and could be improved, would
do so. l expressed then the hope he
would come in with us Progressive
Republicans and help us clean up
and improve the party organization
in the State. He could see no induce
ment at that time and I am especial
ly pleased TO hear he will be one of
u.s.
An entirely different view is that
taken by James G. Blauvelt, of Pat
erson, a former assemblyman. He is
emphatic in the statement that the
Progressives and the regular Repub-
licans would never unite. and declares
that all oyertures looking toward an
amalgamation had come from the Re-
publican side of the fence.

The executive board of the Silk
Ribbon Workers sent a letter to
members of the ways and means COM
mittee of the House of Representa-
tives, in Washington, demanding a
federal investigation of conditions in
Paterson which provoked the strike
of the silk workers. Figures were
presented to show that despite the
heavy tariff on silk products the scale
of wages in Paterson is more than 30
per cent, lower than, in France.
Opposition to the proposed confer
ence of Mayor McBride's peace COM
mittee with the strikers and manu-
facturers developed among the strike

the naming of the committee came
late and that 1T would have a ten
dency to prolong, rather than end. the

ployers more than half way" he con-
tinued. They will ask that the con-
ference be public and that the fullest
Investigation of existing conditions be
made. When that Is done the justice
of the strikers cause will be recog-
hized.'
Unable to stand the loss due to the
strike. six of the smaller silk manu-
faeturers have made assignments for
