 Two other talesnen were exa mined East One Hundred and Efghueths street was agreed on temporarily despite the fact that a cousin is a section foreman for the New Haven.

 sBeneficiaI' Will Be Defense.
 MT. NicoIl gave a broad intimatfon yesterday of the line of defense that ] will be followed. beyond the sugges- ton that government responsibility 1 for some, at least of the New Haven s 1 woes will be dwelt upon. From the | beginning of his examination of tales 1 men he had laid somewhat pointed 1 stress on the possibility that there l were combinations and combinations, | nenopo1ies and monopoIies. Tester 1 day he changed his statement to this:

 Of the ferty-feur talesrnen examin- l ed kyesterday just half were excused 1 by consent.

 sI don't think I'm competent to sit in a ease as complicated as tffss 7otbtless will be- he said. f'I haven't had the benefit of a high school or college education.'.
 But you're plainly a man of under standing. The concentration you give Q your work ought to clear the way or you.,s
