In Dc Saulles Case First Panel Of
$50 Names Is xhausted--Attor-
neys on Both Sides Deter
mined 10 Accept Only
Heads Of Families
As Jurors.
Mineola, N. Y, November 21-The
trial Of Mrs. Blanca do Saulles for the
murder OF her divorced husband, John
L. dc Saulles, Yale athlete and clul
man, at his Long Island home thu
night Of August 3, has dragged thr,
three days OF tedious questioning o.
talismen without Jury being com.
pleted. With but two seats in thu
jury box remaining to be filled II
seemed certain tonight, however, that
the taking Of evidence would begin
tomorrow.
Only two men were added to the
jury today. The first panel Of 15C
names having been exhausted, Justice
David F. Manning, shortly after
o'clock this afternoon, adjourned the
trial until tomorrow. At his order
Sheriff Phineas Seaman and his depu-
ties are scurrying about the country
side tonight serving summonses on
fifty other men who are to appear in
court tomorrow and among whom II
is expected the two Jurors needed will
be found.
The slowness of the trials progress
is accounted for by the evident deter.
mination of attorneys on both sides to
obtain twelve men who are heads OF
families and whose experience would
guarantee maturity Of judgment.
Mrs. Saulles was cheered today by
a visit from her son, John L. de Saul
les, Jr., four and one-half years old
1t was love for her child which
caused her to shoot her husband, &C.
cording to her attorney. Mother and
son spent two hours together.

Little Schambeau
Boy Passes Away

George, the 10-year-old son of Mr..
and Mrs. Peter Schahbeau, of East

day afternoon, and the funeral will
take place from the saddened home
this afternoon at o'clock, the serv-
ices to be conducted by Father Nc
Dermott of the Church Of the Sacred
Heart.
To mourn his loss the little boy
leaves a devoted father and mother
and q number of sisters and brothers,
all Of whom are given the most sim
cere coincidence Of their large num-
bers Of friends.
This is the boy who shot himself
a few days since, and upon being con-
veyed immediately to the hospital
was given the best of treatment. Re-
ports from day to- day and from hour
to hour were Of the most reassuring
nature, and the hope was held out
that the severe injury would be over
come, even his constant attendants
holding to this chance. The news of
his demise yesterday, therefore, will
be doubly saddening to many.
At the funeral today little boy
chums Of the deceased will be pail
bearers. They are: Lloyd Fell, Frank
Sanders, Mack Waltz, Tommy Hud-
son, Robert Welsh and Buster Salm>

Music Lovers Hear
Unique Concert

A fashionable audience, composed
largely of musicians and music lovers,
assembled at the San Carlos Audi
forum last evening to hear Mrs.
Florence Terrell, the famous soprano
assisted by Miss Helen jeffrey, a
popular violinist, who is associated
with Mr.. Thomas Edison.
Last nights recital was unique. It
was so-called "Tone Test" between
Mrs. Terrell and Mr.. Edisoa's Laba-
atory Recreation of her voice. 1t
seems that Mr.. Edison has devoted
about FIVE years and something over
two million dollars to the object of
developing and perfecting a new art,
called by him ''Music's Recreation"
1t undoubtedly had its origin in the
phenomenon Of sound reproduction as
effected by the familiar talking ma
chine; it probably has some OF the
same mechanical features, but there
comparison ceases. Mrs. Terrell
stood beside Edison's latest and ia
yorite invention, the New Edison.
When Mrs. Terrell commenced the
first selection it was easy to under
stand why sympathetic throughout
it's entire register voice totally diff
ferent from the familiar tones of the
talking machine. Amusement,
therefore, was written on the faces of
the audience when Mrs. Ferrelrs lips
ceases to move and the Reiterated
voice continued-the same voice,
enunciation tone color, identical in ev-
cry detail with the possible excep-
ton of volume. Mrs. Terrell finished
the song, pausing from time to time
the same result. Unless one watched
her lips, it was impossible to know
when she paused.
Miss jeffrey gave similar illustra-
lions with her violin playing with
Recreation of violin solos by Messrs.
Carl Flesch and Albert Spalding.
Allowing for the difference in the
tones of different violins, Miss jeff
rey's playing and the sounds emanat-
ed from the New Edison, were gener-
ally alike.
Re-Creations Of a piano solo a male
voice and selection by full orchestra
were rendered by the New Edison
alone, so that all departments of
music were thus covered. The alb
sence of any metallic rasp, and the
correct tonal coloring of these selec-
tions made them grateful to the ear
and impressed the nearer with the
idea that q new ear of better music
in the home is at hand

Defendant Given
Verdict u. S. Court

Shortly after the federal court con-
vened after the noon recess the jury
in the case of Annie Mae Whitton VS..
the Louisville and Nashville Railroad,
returned a verdict for the defendant,
and the plaintiff Immediately petit
toned for an appeal.
The case was one of the most inter
esting to be tried thic term of the
court, and was based on the death
of Allen Whitto.n, husband of the
plaintiff last December at Ponce de
Leon. Whitton's body was found on
the tracks of the railroad, and the
defense contended that Wilton had
been murdered and his body placed
on the tracks to qpver the traces of
the crime. The sum involved was
$4,000.

Important Case
Comes to Close In
Court Of Record

W. C. Goelz, a chiropractor, who
rendered the amount of license as a
practicing physician to the county tax
collector, but was refused eertnl-
cate at that time, was tried on four
counts in an Indictment which had
been filed against him by the county
solicitor, and found guilty of the
very thing he offered to do, but was
refused, according to those who have
been following the case. He viii now,
in line with the verdict of the jury,
again seek license of the county tax
practice of his art.
The case presented many unusual
features, and during the trial of 1t
the court house was comfortably filled
with spectators, among the most IN
terested being number OF ladies.
The counts in the information were
as follows: (fl Practicing medicine
without obtaining a certificate from
the board of medical examiners; ~
practicing as physician without hav-
ing obtained the necessary state and
county license; t3) practicing osteop-
athy without certificate as an osteo-
path, and practicing without holding
an examining board certificate.
As above stated, he was found
guilty of the very thing which he had
tried to do in the past, but which he
was prevented from carrying out
that of paying the license and taking
out such as a practicing physician.
He will, therefore, continue to prac-
tice his art under a physicians Ii
cense.
