 Equally insistent were, the defend ants lawyers that no man should hold a seat in the tS-y box who had formes< an unalterablG opinion that Dr. hnabe was murdered.
 To Set Up Suicide Theory
 The line of questioning appeared to indicate that the state would endeayor to build the structure of it's case on a foundation of compromising clrcum- stances, which the defense would at tempt to destroy by having Dr, Craig go on the stand and explain, leaving the manner of Dr. knaSe-s deatn shrouded in mystery.

 Significance was attached by some to this question asked by Henry N. Spaan of counsel for the defense:
 "Would you have any faith in evi- dence obtained through spiritualtsn ?'
 The inviraible answer was No"
 Nothing in the days developments admitted a doubt that Harry c.

 T feel that I did everything on my part to be fair to both sides during the recent street car strike" said Mayor Shank, i'm announcing his resignation but after the criticism that has been heaped on me by the safety board of the chamber of commerce, I feel that I probably could not retain my position and do my duty to the general public as mayor on account of the bitter feel ing that has grown out of the labor controversy"
 Mayor Wallace issued a statement, in which he said:
 Wallace Makes Manly Statement.
 T shall do my duty impartially and fearlessly. Life and property must be protected, at whatever cost, and the fair name of our city restored. Every person has a right to conduct his own business in his own way, so long as he does 1t lawfully, and I will not tolerate any interference with it by others"

FLAWS ANSWER TO
 SHERIFF'S PETITION.
Claims Custody Under Extraditior
 Warrant is Illegal.

Concord, N. H, Nov. 2s-Harry K Thaw filed in the United States district court today his answer to the petition of the state of New York that Sheriff Holman A. Drew be made sole custo- dian of the Matteawan fugitive with authority to deliver him to the New York officials under the extradition warrant issued by Governor Felker Action on the warrant was stayed by habeas corpus instituted by Thaw.
 Thaw sets forth that custody under the extradition warrant is not legal be- cause it was not founded on due pro- cess of law. Such custody, he con tends, is illegal and oppressive for the reason that it is based upon an uncon- stitutional statute and an order ot commitment without trial, and also because in effect it is worse than sen tence to penal servitude in that it ex- cludes the possibility of executive clemency and pardon. He asks the court to sustain his petition for a writ of habeas corpus and to order his dis charge from custody.

Washington, Nov. 2S-A new phase of the cost of living problem was brought to the attention of the de- partment of agriculture today T. F. Gill, secretary of the Irish board of agriculture, told Secretary Houston that speculators in the large cities of the United States were actively buying up this years short American potato crop and planning to hold out for high prices counting upon the existing quar- antine against potatoes from many foreign countries to aid them in their undertaking
 Mir. Gill is here to urge the removal of the embargo on potatoes from his country and has been getting prfvate adyices from various sources on the potato situation in America He in sists that the powdery scab found on potatoes imported from Ireland is no cause for a quarantine, because a. sim- liar blenish already is common in the United States and declares that con- tinuance of the embargo will com tribute to the growing cost of living.
 It is said that a preliminary inquiry has revealed the fact that fifty-five per cent of the present egg supply held in storage is in the hands of the great meat packers of the country.
