Pleased with Foreman.

Becker and his lawyers seemed 10 be
pleased with the selection OF the fore
man Becker nodded his head and smiled
when Mr.. Manton took him after Dis
trict Attorney Whitman had found him
satisfactory. Mr.. Whitman said after
ward that he was well pleased with the
selection of the foreman. He added. how
ever. that II surprised him that the de-
fence accepted him.
Eleven more talesmen we're examined
before William 3. Dalton, an advertising
manager. at 1859 Seventh av., living at
l25 West 1s9th St, was reached and
chosen as juror No. 2. Dalton is thirty
five years old.
Justice Seabury adjourned court for the
noon recess from TO $50 p. IN. after two
more talesmen had been examined and
failed TO qualify.
The trend OF the questions asked tales
men by the lawyers on both sides gave
little indication OF any new angles the
trial WAS going 10 take 10 differentiate II
from the procedure and evidence at the
first trial. The long list Of witnesses read
by Mr.. Delahanty for the prosecution in
order TO ascertain whether the talesmen
knew any OF them. had no new names OF

erai. however, whom he did not mention,
IL was said.

his own behalf would In no way prejudice
his case under the law. This would seem
n indicate that the defence did not in
tend TO call the defendant as witness.
Some of Beckers friends declare, how
ever. that he is anxious TO testify.
The sum total for the morning session
was twenty-four talesmen examined. and
two jurors obtained. Every tenth Or

should he testify. would necessitate the
calling of his wife In confederation. II vas
said. So the prosecution assumed that
the chances OF Becker appearing on the
stand were small. Mrs Becker took
seat just outside the rail TO the left Of
her husband, where she could speak to
him without raising her voice.
There was a large array OF legal talent
at the counsel tables on both sides when
court opened District Attorney Whit
nan. accompanied by his assistants. Mr.
Delchanty. Mr.. Groehl and Mr. Minton
occupied the table directly in front OF the
jury box Mr.. Cochran Mr. Manton. Har-
ford T. Marshall. a former Assistant Dis
trict Attorney under Jerome, and John p.

ant. The special panel OF talcsmen filled
the body of the courtroom.

the chief dsciplinaran of the Criminal
Branch OF the Supreme Court for many
years, and twelve picked attendants we're

stand at II o'clock.

lowed him-though that number was
small, considering the notoriety OF the
Becker case-entertained an opinion Of
the defendants guilt or innocence which
he thought would be difficult for him TO
lay aside II he was accepted as juror.
He was excused for bias. Then eight other
r,en got out of jury duty in comparatively
quick order-some because they were
prejudiced, some for the reason that they
knew some one connected with the case
and others because they were challenged
pcremptorily by one side or the other.

rotary.
Mr.. Whitman replied pointedly 10 the
accusations Of Becker's counsel. sharp
words passed between the prosecutor
and Mr. Cochran. He said that he mad
not given the Dresner statement OUT
but that he believed il TO he true.
Thereupon Mr.. Cochran asked the court

prisoner giving a statement out IN the

and as often as he wants TO. IL IS
very strange that counsel for the de-
fence should make such strenuous oo-

counsel. day after day and week after
week during his stay in the Tomhs,

BONN SYPH0N
REFRIGER

Make an actual comparison
by putting a thermometer in
YOUR own Refrigerator. Then
YOU will understand why the
ice hills of Bohn users are
lower than yours. You will
understand ono OF the reasons
that have persuaded the car
builderS-who Judge by eff
cheney alone-to install the
Bohn Syphon in practically
every dining and refrigerator
car in use to-day.
Low temperature is by no
means the only feature of
Bonn superiority. The Syphon
system keeps up a rapid cir
culation of cold dry air-So
dry that YOU can strike
match on the inside wall of
the ice chamber. As it is
moisture that rotS foods, this
IS a wonderful advantage.

I have great respect for the metropon-

prised as any one at some OF the -e-
norris relative to the Becker case which
have appeared recently.
The same stern court settings when
furnished the background at the hrst
Becker trial and at the trial OF the -FOUR
gunner who paid the death penalty for
their part in the murderous plot OF
which Becker is accused OF being the
instigator were in evidence yesterday.
All of the famous murder cases OF the
last few years have been tried IN TINS
comparatively small courtroom, in the
northeast corner Of the Criminal Courts
Building. Like Becker, Harry h. Thaw
anneared twice in this courtroom, each
time on trial for his life. He sat in the
same seat at the long counsel table
with the animated, triumphant counte-
nance Of Justice" looking down upon
him from the great painting above The
Judges bench, where Becker sat yes

Becker has not changed in appear

6nement in the death house at Sing

have wasted his flesh or furrowed his
face with deeper lines. There is little
suggestion Of prison pailor. he mas
the same swarthy complexion and MS
countenance is dull, except when light

black eyes. He had the same old sinile

noticeable TO those who saw him on
trial before was his brooding mood.

Pile Fabrics in Vogue

Velveteen is now made so light in
weight, so soft in finish, so rich in
shades, that it is as popular as vel
vet. These fabrics are used for coats.
suits, dresses and separate waists,
and trimmings of every kind will be
used of plain and novelty velvet, the
latter including rich plaids, stripes,
cords, moired effects and silk en-
broidered designs. There is a hand
some long-haired silk plush for day
coats and evening capes and cloaks.
This material is in rich, bright shades
as well as the more sober browns,
dark greens, black and navy blue.
Plush is always rich in appearances;
now they are also light in weight
and in exquisite shades, says an ex-
change.
Fur fabrics are combined with vel
vet. broadcloth, silk, cording, wool.
velour, etc. Entire suits are often
made of these pile fabrics. Their light
weight and flexible texture make
them suitable for various combina-
! tons, even tunics, as well as collars,
cuffs and vests being constructed of
this material. The tiger and leopard
effects are made up into smart Innings
for velvet, broadcloth and other heavy
cloths used for long coats.

For the Eyebrows

The other day two shoppers stood
looking into the window of a smart
shop that deals in children's fur
nishings as well as in those for
grown-ups. In the window was a
display of fascinating bottles of per-
fume and toilet water, little bronze
burners for incense and other charm
ing toilet accessories. Among the
things spread forth were some tiny
boxes, not more than two inches long,
each clasping under q little blue
stone and each containing tiny
brush, amber backed, and a tiny
comb of tortoise shell or its imita-
ton. Then there was a little cake
Of something black. wrapped around
In silver, says the Buffalo Express.
"They have lovely things here for
children--toys, mean," said one OF
the shoppers. Look at those cum
ming little brush and comb sets, for
dolls"
The other shopper nodded and the
two women passed on.
In reality the dainty little brushes
and combs that had attracted their
attention were for the eyebrows and
the black was coloring to deepen the
line over the eyes. Nowadays the
care of the eyebrow is deemed i'm
portant. and even If the little cake
of black does not appeal to you. the
tiny brush and comb must make you

About Luther Burbank

Dear Margery Doom:
1 will be very glad If you can tell
me something about Luther Bur-
bank, the man who has accom-
plished such onderful results by
grating plants and trees.
STUDENT.
Luther Burbank, the naturalist,
was born in Lancaster, Mass, on
March 7, 1S49, and spent his early
boyhood on the farm. All through
his life he was devoted to the
study of nature, especially plant
life. At the age of twenty-six he
moved to Santa Rosa, Cal, and
conducted the Burbank Experiment
Farms. He was the originator of
the Burbank potato, various species
of plums, apples, prunes, roses,
cherries, a new fruit called the
plumcot, and various other fruits,
nuts, berries and other valuable
plants and trees. The Carnegie IN
stitute, at Washington. granted him
an appropriation of $4,000 for five
years to insure the continuation of
the work. With over $500 extensive
experiments under way, more than
a million plants a year are raised
and are now growing, consisting of
over 5000 distinct botanical spe-
cimens. He resides at present at
Santa Rosa, Cal.

Blouses and Camisoles


The popularity of the new basque
bodices, which completely cover
shoulders, neck and arms with
material, may not make 1t quite so
necessary to provide large store of
lacy camisoles or corset covers for
fall wear. When all bodices were
mere wisps of thin tulle underwear
bills and problems swelled to enorm-
GUS size. Just now, as summer is
passing, we may not need SO many
of these, but a few to wear under
dainty afternoon costumes are an all
year round necessity.
One especially good feature of the
shadow lace camisoles is that if you
have one handsome net waist and
four lace corset covers you can give
the effect of owning four different
waists by finishing each corset cover
with different ribbons and silks. One
might be lined with ciel blue silk
and strung with blue ribbons. An
other might be combined with water
melon pink, another with lavender
and fourth with orange.

Why Is a Blonde9

WHY a. blonde is not something else
has been argued repeatedly by ply
siologists. = An old theory had 1t that
light hair had more oxygen and sui
nhur in it than darker hair; red locks
were attributed to persons having a
plentiful supply of iron, and brown
hair was supposed to nave a lot OF
carbon as the predominating element.
Then came along a Bohemian investi-
gator. who made it quite clear that
hair and hide colors are unit charac-
ters and have nothing to do with
chemicals at all
Professors Castle, of Harvard; Jen-
nings and Mast, of Johns Hopkins,
and De Vries, of Holland, have Verl-
fed these facts. DIR. j. >. Macintosh,
another investigator, states tnat the
blonde is less able to remain vigorous
in large towns and crowded places
than the brunette, and this he at
tributes TO the descent of hereditary
traits from his space-loving and sea-
loving Saxon and Danish ancestors,
says an exchange.
The blonde. it is said suffers
nervous breakdown when confined IN
factory and workshop under condl-
tions which have no effect upon the
brunette.
But, whatever the cause, IL Is GER
tainly true that in this country the
blonde nowadays is less conspicuous
numerically, however vividly she may
impress herself upon the eye when
she does appear. 1t is pointed out,
however, that, though the blonde may
| be admired, she may yet disappear
entirely, and it is no new fact that
the scarcity of any article is likely
to increase it's popularity.
