As a whole, the Jury Is made up of a. most In telligent body, of men, most of whom are at middle age or over. When the panel- had finally been com pleted, after many vexatious delays and after the exercise of 23 peremptory chal lenges by the defense and 20 by the peo ple. Thaw announced that he was entirely satisfied, and, in fact, well pleased with the twelve men chosen. ', Young Mrs. Thaw, who has watched the selection of the Jurors with the keenest Interest, also declared that she was well satisfied. Much Nicer Than Last Jury. They are much nicer than the men elected last year." she said, as the court adjourned, and Tnaw exclaimed that he echoed his wife's sentiments. The. new jurors selected today were Messrs. McHugh. Howell, Burck, Dovale and Hooper. The last two seats in the Jury box were especially hard to fill, and a number of talesmen were passed tem porarily Into the places, only to be ex cused In a few minutes by challenges from hoik defense and prosecution. - 4 Judge Downing announced today that, beginning with Monday, the court hours will be from 10 A.

' He will not consume more than ten minutes, and It is said that the state's direct witnesses will not occupy more than two hours. The defense will open Monday afternoon, Martin W. Littleton, Thaw's new chief counsel, making the opening statement. Mr. Littleton has made very plain dur ing all. the time he has been examining prospective Jurors that the defense will be bused entirely on a plea of Insanity at the time of the shooting, and It is not likely that there will be any such plea of Justification as was made by Mr. Delmas in his summing up the first trial. A report that Mrs. William Thaw, mother of the defendant, is dangerously III at her home in Pittsburg reached the Courthouse today, and was promptly de nied by Thaw himself, -who stated that the last word received from his home late yesterday was that his mother was much better.

TAFT ANSWERS QUESTIONS (.Continued from .First Page.) volleyed a the Secretary, who answered them with facility and great good humor, which reflected itself in the attitude of his audience. One questioner wanted to know If worklngmen were ready to work so hard for private individuals, why they would not be ready to work as hard for the Government under Federal owner ship. The Secretary replied without hesi tation: "Because human nature is not built along that line. It is not possible to earry on governments the same as a business. by Individuals " working for private gain. You cannot change the motive of enlightened selfishness Into altruism." Mr. Tsft indicated clearly that he did not think the time had come for an In come tax law. He was accorded another ovation when he finished, and many in the audience flocked to the platform to shake him by the hand. Mr. Taft said In his address: True Cause ot Panic. Wa ara suffering now from a panic. It pras hrougt on, in my Judgment, by the ex haustion of free capital the world over, by the lack of an elastic system of currency and also by a lack of confidence in our ru3;ncss fabric produced In Europe through tlie revelation in certain great corporations f business dishonesty, corruption and un lawfulness. It had been necessary for us to purify some of our business methods; but tit purification, rannot stop the -panic. It nlll doubtless make another in the far future less likely. Meantime, all must suf fer, both the Innocent and guilty, and the Innocent more than the guilty. Certaintly lie laborer who is thrown out of his em ployment by the bard times Is innocent and suffers more than the capitalist, whether -nnocent or guilty, wno has money to live u meantime until prosperity shall be re stored. Arbitrate. Labor Troubles. Discussing the difficulties in peaceful adjustment of controversies between cap ital and labor, Mr. Taft commended the work of such orgarjzatlons as the Civic Federation In seeking to bring together to the merits of the, issue and publish it to the world. Rights of Labor. On the question of the legal right of the labor union o strike, Mr. Taft said: Men have "the right to leave the employ of their employer In a body In order to im pose on him as great an inconvenience as possible to - Induce '-him to come to- their terms. They have the right in their labor unions to delegate to their leaders the power to say when to strike. T&ey hava tne rignt in advance to accumulate by contributions from all members of the labor unions a fund which shall enable them to live during the pending strike. They have the right to use persuasion with, all other laborers who are invited to take their places. In order to convince them "of the advantage to labor-'of united action. It la the business of courts and of the 'police to respect these rights with -the same degree of care that tney re spect the right of owners of capital to the protection of their property and business. He added, however,, that "a resort to violence, or other form of lawless ness, on behalf of a labor union,-properly merits and receives the sharpest condemnation from the. public, and is quite likely to lose the cause of labor its support in the particular contro versy." . The "abuse of capital combinations" industrial and railroad were dis cussed at length, and the relation ot wage-earners thereto pointed out. Mr. Taft said: The maintenance of such unlawful monop olies is for the purpose of keeping -up- the price of the necessities of life, and this necessarily reduces the purchasing power of the wages that wage-earners receive. This Is a serious detriment to them and a real reason why they should condemn such cor poration abuses and sympathize with ' the effort to stamp the out. It Is not that they should sympathize with an effort to. destroy such great corporate enterprises, because they employ enormous numbers ot wage-earners and law fully and normally Increase the capital from which the wage fund is drawn, but they should and do vigorously sustain the policy of the Government In bringing these great corporations within the law and requiring them to conduct their business In accordance with the statutes of the country. I Capital's Crimes Against Labor. In rare Instances corporate managers have entered into a course of violence to main tain their side of a labor controversy. They have Justified it on the ground that they were simply fighting Are with nre, and that if the labor union proceeded to use dyna mite, they would use dynamite in return. I cannot too strongly condemn this course of argument. No amount of lawlessness on the part of labor strikers will justify law lessness on .the part of the employers. Such a course means a recurrence of civil war and anarchy. . A second abuse which employers are some times guilty of la what technically is known as "blacklisting" This Is unlawful and should be condemned. Mr. Taft condemned the "abuses of labor," such' as violence, intimidation and the boycott, and pointed out the legal remedies by which a person may be protected against the illegal acts of combinations of capital and combina tions of labor. "In cases of unlawful combinations of capital, as well as of such combinations of labor," he said, "the method in equity by securing, an injunction seems to be preferred by those who are about to be Injured." ' He defended the injunction against the criticism that It places In the bands of Judges legislative, judicial and executive powers, and declared that "prevention is better than cure." He granted the contention that the injunction had been - abused -In labor disputes, and favored amendment of the law to provide that no tempor ary restraining order should issue until after notice and hearing; also requiring a different Judge in con tempt proceedings from the Judge Is suing the injunction." He said, in clos ing: "There is a class of capitalists who looK upon labor unions as, per so vicious, and a class "of radical labor unionists who look upon capital as labor's natural enemy. I believe, how ever, that the great majority of each class are gradually becoming more conciliatory in their attitude, the one toward the other. Between them Is a larger class, neither capitalist nor la bor unionist, who are without preju dices, and I hope I am one of those. The effects of, the panic are not over. We must expect Industrial depression. This may be fruitful of labor contro versies. I earnestly hope that a more conservative and conciliatory attitude on both sides may avoid the destruc tive struggles of the past." BOYCOTT ORDER STANDS Judge Gould Refuses to Change Or der on Labor Federation. WASHINGTON. Jan. 10. Justice Gould, of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, today overruled a motion made by the American Federation of Labor to amend the court's order In the case of the Buck Stove & Range Company, of St. Louis, in which the court recently tem porarily enjoined the federation from placing the company on a boycott and unfair list in the federation publications. The motion of the federation contended that the order was erroneous because It was made to run until the final decree in the case instead of until the further order of the court, because it may be construed to enjoin the defendants from uniting to agree to patronize plaintiff's products; or construed to prevent the defendants and their associates from saying to others that they had united and combined not to patronize such products; or construed "to enjoin their announcing that they had enmhinerl not to dpAl with others who I should deal with the company. The mo tion also contended that the order abridges freedom of speech of all the de fendants and freedom of press, "which is protected, by the first amendment to the Constitution of the United States." The court decided that it would not alter the order in any way. RETURN TWO INDICTMENTS Deposit Bank Oficial Located and W ill e Extradited. SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 10.

Foraker Faction Calls Convention for Today, While Taft Faction Demands Direct Primary A Third Faction Enters Field. 'CLEVELAND. O., Jan. 10. A call was issued today by the Foraker-Dick faction of the Republican party in this (Cuya hoga) county ror a convention Saturday afternoon'at which It is stated an execu tive or controlling committee of the party will be chosen. Earlier In the day the leaders of the Taft faction filed a re quest with the board of elections that a primary be held to select 63 delegates to the state convention. The Foraker-Dick faction leadens allege that the present county executive com mittee, composed of Taft adherents, is without power to " act because it was chosen for one year and has served two years without re-election. Each faction desires to control the executive-committee because the executive committee alone has power to call a pri mary election for the selection of dele gates to the state convention. The so-called regular committee, in Its call filed 'with the County Board of Elec tions, asks, for primaries to be held Feb ruary 11 to select delegates to the state convention. The followers of Senator Foraker, holding the belief that the pres ent committee is working exclusively in the lnterests-of Secretary Taft and is ar ranging matters so that the voters will have no choice in the matter, filed a pro test. It will be the duty of the Board of Elections to "determine which of the two committees is official and which call is to be indorsed. , The situation was further complicated tonjght by a hurried convention of still another element, which chose a commit tee and a list of delegates Instructed" to act in behalf of President Roosevelt. The claims of this committee will also have to be taken into consideration by. he Board of Elections. .While tomorrow's convention is expect ed to be a Foraker affair, the Taft fol lowers have sent out word- to their work ers to be on hand and take a part in the work. As a result the Foraker followers appealed to the police this afternoon and asked for protection against the Taft workers, who. they allege, may force an entrance and attempt to manipulate the convention.

DRIVES OUT. .GENERAL" KEIM Prince Henry Objects to Politics In German Navy Leagno. BERLJN, Jan. 10. An official communi cation sets forth that Prince Henry of Prussia, brother of Emperor William, and who represents His Majesty as patron of the Navy League, has decided to retire from his position in the event of Major General Keim's continuing as managing director of the League. This decision would appear to be a re sult of a recent .lengthy conference be tween Emperor "William and Prince Ruprecht of Bavaria, during which the Prince explained that his retirement from the Bavarian branch of the League was due to the fact that Major-General Kelm had made use of the resources of the as sociation for political purposes.- The at .titude taken by'the Emperor undoubtedly will result in forcing Major-General Kelm to resign.
