NEW TRIAL SOUGHT FOR THE OFFICIALS
 OF STANDARD HOME
Large Crowd Had Gone to Federal Building Expect
 ing to Hear Sentence Pronounced

motion for a new trial in the case of the government against the Standard Home company and it's executive officials was made in the federal court yesterday by counsel for the defendants.
 This announcement was heard about noon by nearly 200 persons who went to the federal building expecting that they would be present when Judge w. I. Grubb pronounced sentence upon the defendants. The motion for a new trial acted as an estoppal of sentence. The motion will be heard by Judge Grubb Saturday morning. a notice to this effect having been con veyed to O. D. Street. special district at- torney. who is prosecuting the defendant company.
 The usual grounds were set out in the motion for new trial, that the verdict was illegal and other technical reasons The real proposition which will be argued will be the selection of the jury by the government it is stated. It was reported at the federal building that in the office of the United States marshal the selec- ton of the jury was irregular and that District Attorney Street dismissed the first venire which was drawn. For what reason this action was taken no one has yet explained. It was suggested by some of the friends of the defendants that the jury was apparently too well informed as to business methods to suit he govern ment attorneys. Later on a new jury was drawn, not one of whom was a citizen of this county. Whether there were two sets of jurymen drawn or whether if true that would entitle the defendants to a new trial was not explained yesterday when the motion for new trial was made.

savInn Lives.

The fight to save human lives In
America has been eminently success
full during the last few years and the
loss from preYentable diseases has
been materially reduced. Perhaps the
greatest Improvement has been in ty-
phoid fever, where sanitation and
medical treatment have worked to-
gether to good effect. In the field OF
tuberculosis great deal has been
accomplished, although not as much as
was originally hoped for. In this dis
ease it is largely case of money-to
got enough to give the victims Of "the
