WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.-To al those various and sundry Republican gentlemen who are casting covetous eyes on the White House in 1924, ir the event Warren G. Harding should decide not to run again-it is sug gested they cultivate with some as ! siduity three sitting members Of the United States Senate, to wit:
 James E. Watson, of Indiana James ". Wadsworth, of New York, and Walter E. Edge, of New Jersey.
 Here in the national capital, where the gods of politics sleep ever fit 1 fully if at all, these three are in a fair way to become known as "Ti- tanic Triumvirate" in Republican circles for the next few years at least.
 No one in Washington, or else where, knows whether President liar ding will be a candidate for a sec ond term. It is extremely doubtful stage of the game. But in the event he should decide to step ut of the White House at the end of his term the scramble that will then ensue for his abandoned toga will be grand, glorious and stupendous. Republican candidates for the nom- ination in 1924, always bearing in mind the "if'' regarding MT. Hardings plans, will be more numerous than plans for settling Europes troubles.
 In the Cabinet there are at least three potential candidates, in the Senate and House there are a dozen more, while throughout the 4S states that comprise the Union there are numerous Republican Governors who are known to cling tightly to the belief that lightning strikes in queer places sometimes.
 Here's where the "Titanic Tri- umvirate" of Watson, Wadsworth and Edge begins to loom up.
 By the turn of the wheel of poll- tics they have become the Republican "bosses" in their respective states of Indiana, New York and New Jersey the "Penroses" of their organiza- tions in fact as we'll as in theory,
 In Indiana the elimination of Sen ator Harry S. New in the primaries the subsequent defeat of ex-Senator Albert J. Beveridge in the election, and the removal of Will H. Hayes, have combined to leave "Jim' Wat son, Republican monarch of all he surveys. No other Republicans have challenged his leadership of the State organization.
 In New York the smashing defeat administered to Governor Nathan l.. Miller and to Senator William L. Calder in November have removed from Jimmy" Wadsworth's path the only men in position to con, test his leadership of New York Re. publicanism.
 In New Jersey Senator Edge has maintained his control of South Jersey, and in addition has extended his dominance over the more popu lous centers of North Jersey because of the defeat of Senator Joseph S. Frelinghuysen, his Republican col league, in November.

MOVI 1 E

A cast of clever artists, playing the various supporting roles, is one of the reasons for the brilliant re- ports of "A City Sparrow" the new Ethel Clayton, starring vehicle for Paramount which will be shown at the Empress Theater tonight.
 Ethel Clayton, the star, stands in the front rank of film stars and has a most enthusiastic following.
 The principal male lead is DOT trayed by Clyde Fillmore, who ap- pears as a noble-hearted countryman who falls in love with Milly West, a dancing girl and persuades her to go to the country, where their love TO- nance develops. Walter Hiers, the fat comedian, is funnier than ever, in the role of Tim Ennis, a disappointed lover.
 William Boyd, a new screen discov- cry, does attractive work as Hughie Ray, the stars dancing partner. Bar tine Burkett has a delightful ingenue role. Robert Brewer, Lillian Leighton and Slyvia Ashton play the character roles and Rose Cade also appears in an unique part.
 The picture is film adaptation by Clara c. Kennedy of story by Kate Jordan. Sam Wood directed and Al Gilks was the photographer

TEXAN ON TRIAL FOR SCISSOR
 MURDER

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Jan. ii. - With attorneys for the defense mak- ] ing strenuous efforts to keep women from serving on the jury, the "scis- sors murder" trial of the South got under way here Monday. The defend ant, c. G. c. McDaniel is alleged to pair of scissors at their family home 1 here the afternoon of November 29 last
 Due to publicity given the case it was expected at least two days will be spent selecting the jury to decide Me Daniels fate. District Attorney D. A. McAskill, who will direct the prosecu- tion, indicated he would wage fight to have the jury composed entirely of women, while, on the other hand, the defense will endeavor to have all prospective women jurors ruled unfit on the grounds that they could not return an unbiased verdict, it was said
 Branded as "Fiendish"
 Characterizing McDaniel's alleged deed as one of the "most brutal, l fiendish murders that had ever come under his observation" McAskill as serted he would ask that the death penalty be exacted in event the de- fendant is convicted on the first de- gree murder charge.
 Testimony introduced by neighbors of the McDaniels at the preliminary hearing stated that Mrs. McDaiel rushed from her home screaming loudly and sank to the ground. Blood was squirting from a jagged wound in her breast, according to witnesses. When police arrived a short time later a pair of freshly washed scissors was found in the kitchen sink Police i'm mediately arrested McDaniel, who was at home at the time. He has repeat edly voiced his innocence. claiming that his wife had stabbed herself after he had refused to accompany her on a shopping tour. In a death bed statement said to have been made by Mrs. McDaniel to Detective w. M. McMurray at a hospital, she accused her husband of having stabbed her, McMurray testified.
 Freedom Denied
 Recent efforts of McDaniePs attor- neys to obtain his release from jail on an application for a writ of habeas corpus proved unavailing. During these proceedings the police sprung a surprise witness in the person of Mrs M. M. Saldano, neighbor of the de- fendant, who testified that she saw a man standing over the crouched form of Mrs. McDaniel in the living room of the McDaniel home, with sharp, shiny instrument clutched in his hand She said the man closely resembled McDaniel At infrequent intervals, she stated, she saw the sharp instrument descend toward the woman.
 Much interest is being manifested in the case throughout the Lone Star State Defense attorneys have given no intimation as to what the defense will be.
 1 Local authorities stated the alleged murder was the first "scissors mur- der' recorded in the United States. Let the Daily Times figure on your ,uorJy
