,so SUMMONED IN EFFORT TO
PROCEED IN cARRIERE TRIAL

Opelousas, La, Oct. 25.-After
much legal sparring the tenth juror
in the trial of Eli (Hilaire) Carriere,
charged with the murder of Sheriff
Marion L. Swords, Of st. Landry
parish, last July, was accepted BY
state and defense today, and follow
ing failure this afternoon to ostaln
the other two jurors from the many
prospective jurymen examined,
court adjourned until 10 q. NJ.
Thursday.
An additional $50 talesmen we're
summoned from the Fourth and Fifth
wards when the list was eEha listed
this afternoon and it is expected that
the jury will be completed Thursday,
although it now appears that the
trial will continue well into the
week.
The third day of the trial of Car
riere opened this morning with the
GLOWING jurors in the box:
Hypolite Meche, farmer, Coulee
Croche; Arthur Culberson, farmer,
Garland; Albert Fisher, farmer,
Waxia; Willie Lavergne, farmer,
Bellevue; D. A Carson, farmer, Bell
evue; Armstrong Smith, Arnaud-
vile.
The defense had exercised four
peremptory challenges and the state
one. To produce this result some
sixty talesmen had been examined.
The remaining forty tales Jurors
were arriving from all directions, or
were in process of being summoned.
The jurors already selected were
CHARTERED last night on the third
floor of the Christmans' rooming
house, in charge Of Deputy Sheriffs
E. X. Wallior and l. r. Guidry, and
made very comfortable. Not only did
Judge Pavy and District Attorney
Garland inspect the quarters to see
that the law was being complied
with, but counsel for the defense
was also taken to the place at mid
night and shown that the doors had
been taken off the hinges So as to
provide, in effect, one room f,r tie
jury.
Court convened at 1905 with a
crowded room. The quiet and de-
corum of the crowd has been re-
nlarkable all along and the strong
contrast with other famous trials.
Carriere again appeared cheerful
and smiling, but he appeared to be
beginning to show signs Of strain by
twisting his ring or handkerchief
frequently.
No reliable information can be OBJ
tanned at this time as to the proba-
Bile line Of the defense for Carriere.

ASSOCIATION MAY
BE TROLLEY LEAGUE

st. Paul. Mimi. Sept. For the
first time in its history. the Ameri-
can association bids fair to become
a trolley league for nearly a month.
II the threatened rail strike should
last that long.
If the coming Kansas y-Milwau-
kee series be transferred to Milwau-
kee, there will be no trouble getting
the teams around the eastern half Of
the circuit for the remainder Of the
season From Milwaukee the four
western teams can reach Chicago by
trolley or boat, and from the Windy
City they can reach Indianapolis,
Louisville, Columbus or Toledo by
means Of the network Of interurban
systems that interlace part Of Illinois,
Indiana, Kentucky and Ohio. Some
of tho journeys between cities in the
association can be made almost as
quickly by trolley as by rail. but on
the average the electric line service is
much slower than the steam. By
doubling up on the last games in the
final series, the teams can leave for
the next destination day ahead Of
time and they will arrive with plenty
Of time to spare.

ton Monday, only Is remained in
play at the end Of the third round
yesterday. OF these, nine represent
ed the east, six the Pacific coast, and
one the south.
Almost without exception the sur
v1vors played strictly to form. The
interest Of the gallery centered in the
hrst appearance of NJ. E. Mclaughlin
on the grand stand turf. Mclaughlin
was drawn against T.. r. Pell and won
in straight sets at Ga, Ga, 6-3, but
there was wide difference of opin-
ion regarding his chances of reaching
the finals Much Of the spectacular
was missing from the Californian's
game and only in spots did he flash
with the brilliant drives that made
him famous.
Johnston, the playing-through
champion. disposed Of Nathaniel W.
Niles. He played fully up to the
games which won him the title a year
ago and completely outclassed the

New York. Sept big league
baseball officials here are beginning
to worry over probable delays In tho

see the possibility that the closing Of

be compelled to rely IL railroad serv-
ice were interrupted.
Routes Laid Out
John b. Foster, secretary Of the
New York National league club, in
anticipation of dif9culties In moving
tho Giants from one city to another,
already has outlined routes by water
and automobiles for the Giants and
other teams- Nevertheless the base
ball men say 1t probably will be i'm
possible in the event Of q strike to
finish the schedule before the end Of
October instead of early in that
month.
The manAGoments Of tho Detroit
and New York Americans now play
ing here arc also making plans to in

So far as the intersectional games
are concerned, the baseball mon are
not disturbed, as the jumps between
cities in the west and between those
in tho east can be made by automo-
bile. trolley or boat

ever, when the eastern clubs should

FOR CHINESE
HAS 1000 CHARACTERS

A Chinese typewriter OF unique de-
sign, utilizing no less than 1000 writ

by Hou Kun Chow. a graduate Of the
Massachusetts Institute of Tech
nology, one Of the first Chinese stu
dents to be educated in this country.
and now a mechanical engineer in
Shanghai.
The ordinary Chinese printing Of
fee uses about 5000 characters. while
complete Chinese dictionary may
contain as many as $4,000. For all
practical purposes. however. the 5000
characters commonly used in q Chi
nese printing Office are SUFFICIENT.
Mr.. Hou's invention has been ex-
hibited by him at the American con-
sulate general at Shanghai. It is
be comparatively inexpensive.
The 1000 characters are distributed
over an ordinary metal matrix drawn
about q cyclinder which IL approx
mately six inches in diameter and has
the appearance Of being about six
teen to eighteen inches In length. The
characters represented on the cyclin-
der are printed on . f'at table surface
attached to the front Of the machine.

is done the character on the cyclinder

Mr.. Hou first thought Of the prac-
ticability Of Chinese typewriter

srs at Boston. a. q student at the In
stitute OF Technology. He has met
with great obstacles because of q lack

Inasmuch ~ 1t would be utterly
impossible TO construct typewriter
having keys corresponding to the mul-
titudinous Chineses characters, Mr..
Hou resorted to the device Of having
the revolving cyclinder attachment.
The hFst model OF the machine, now
exhibited. weighs about forty pounds.
BY improvements which are under
