In choosing the jury, the defense
has the advantage in that IT has 12
peremptory strikes, while the state
has only four. Another feature OF
the jury selection that has attracted
attention here is that the defense has
retained all thes principal attorneys
in Concord, and the state, as far as
Is known, Is without local attorney
to aid In choosing jurors. Knowl-
edge of this led to reports that the
state would seek trial in another
court.

STEEL CONTINUES
UNDER CONTROL
FEDERAL BUYING
Private Orders Are Few
Simply Because Mills Will
Not Accept Them I'm
der Conditions

New York, August 5.-Interest in the
this week upon government purchases
and prospective needs of the army and
navy. Current merchant orders are few,
but it is asserted they would be much
heavier If the mills would accept the
business offered. Domestic consumers
are especially anxious to place orders
for steel plates and for tin plate. Rail-
roads also are reported anxious to pur-
chase substantial tonnages of rails for
shipment in 1918, or earlier and pay
liberal premiums, but mill capacity is
oversold and heavy government orders
take precedence over previous private
orders.
Washington authorities have not only
purchased 10000 tons of S0-pound rails,
20 900 tons of the plates and 10000 tons of
bolts and nuts for export to France but
are about to place orders for 10000 tons
OF light rails and 1900 railroad cars,
calling for $1,000 tons of steel, for ex-
port to France; for 10000 tons of rails
for Russia and for 10000 tons of rods
and wire products for Italy. The army
department, it is reported, will also
spend 100000 to equip railroads and
repair railroad shops in France.
Heavy orders have been placed by the
government for cold rolled shafting
manufacturing fuses and nose pieces for
several millions of 3-inch shells. Nearly
so per cent of the capacity of the shaft
ing manufacturers is employed on gov
erpment work. J. P. Morgan & Co. has
completed the purchase of $4,000 tons of
plates and shapes for the French COM
mission and injuries are in the market
shipment to France
The government also Is distributing ad-
ditonal orders for war munitions, ar
tillery, airplanes and trucks. An order
for $500 tons for steel shapes for a navy
projectile plant has been definitely
placed with the American Bridge COM
pany and specifications for the armor
plant calling for % 900 tons of steel will
be before the mills in about two weeks.
The Federal Shipbuilding company
will have 500 tons of steel fabricated for
II buildings, but it's 10 ship ways will be
OF wood construction. Two ship plants
on the Delaware river have placed addi-
tional orders for 1000 tons of steel for ex-
tensions. Eighteen shipbuilding plants
now hold themselves in readiness to con-
struct cargo boats for the government
which will require 100000 tons of steel.
More large orders for wire nails have
been placed by the government; total
purchases will amount to 10000 kegs.
