NEED ONE JUROR
IN CARMEN CASE
Panel Of 50
Talesmen to Be Called .
This Morning.

So great has been the dificu1ty IN
securing a jury in Criminal Court.
Number One. to try the eleven
strikers and strike sympsthizers.
now before the court. that an add
tional fifty talesmen have been sum
moned TO appear for examination
this morning. f
Eleven jurors so far have been Sc
cured. There are. coincidently
eleven defendants on trial They
are charged with destruction OF
property in connection with an al
legged act Of setting a street car be-
longing TO the Washington Railway
and Electric Company. adrift down
hill at First and z streets south
west during March. 1917. and caus-
ing IL TO be demolished.
The act. as alleged. occurred dur
ing the street railway strike. and is
but one Of many similar acts said 20
have been committed by the strik-
ers and their friends TO hamper the
work Of imported striksbreskers.
The difhculty in getting the
twelfth Juror lies in the fact that
many OF the men called are openly
in sympathy with the men on trial
Examination by ]. J. O'Leary. coun-
sci for the government, OF o large
number Of talesmen yesterday
brought out the fact that nearly all
OF them are members OF some labor
organization. or else members OF
their families are. or else they be-
lieve in some OF the methods al
legged TO have been used by the
strikers

MARKET KEEPS
STEADY TONE
Turnover Amounts to AL.
most Million Shares at
High Prices.
BY BROADAN WALL.

New York, Feb. &.-On turnover
which approached 100000 shares,
stocks continued strong today and
advanced 2 to points in some in
stances, new high records being made
for this mocement. Notwithstand-
ing advices by bankers to proceed
cautiously. the market is growing in
breadth and volume. Commission
houses reported that there were
about as many buyers as sellers.
These houses also continued to ad-
wise their customers to PICK up stocks
or all recessions.
One favorable development was the
revival of interest in railroad shares,
especially, those selling for a small
number of dollars per share. AL
though the possibilities of enhance
ment in market quotations are small
in the railroad group these securi'
ties are considered good investments
and unlikely to decline much, owing
/ to the guarantees by the United
states government.
Passage of the new war loan bill
by the House was construed as IA
Vorable, as was the report of the
Iron Age which was better than ex-
pected in many particulars.
Call money held firm around 8 pei
cent for loans secured by mixed COL
lateral and per cent for loans Sc
cured by industrials. The supply OF
FUNDS available for brokers loans on
the floor OF the exchange today was
enlarged by the receipt of quite a
substantial amount of funds which
were attracted from country banks.
Brokers began laying stress today
on the fact that the floating supply
OF stocks has been reduced to an
abnormally small amount by tho
steady absorption by investors the
last two years.
Motor shares were prominent
throughout the session for their
strength and sharp advances. Gen.
eral Motors and White Motors were
favorites. the former advancing nearly
points and the latter at one time
showing a gain of points.
International Mercantile Marine pre-
ferred had a quick recovery from
its break on Tuesday. on heavy
transactions it rose more han'
points.
