I.OS ANGELES, Oct. SI. Thrss nor

concerned, have been chosen In a day
and a half. The burst of sieed en
couraged the court and counsel. Those
nnw qualified as to cause are:
Frank Krakes. farmer: Oeore W.
Johnson, retired foundry superintend

With J peremptory challenge at
the disposal of the defense and 1A In
the hands of the s:ate. It Is considered
unlikely that more than three of this
list will' be on the final Jury. John

amonic the possibilities for peremptory
challenge by the defense. Those to be
nerclsed by the state. It Is believed,
are less clearly determined but may In
ctu.le Frakes and one or two others.
Neither side would sav tonlsjM Just
what men It would excuse and some
surprises are etnected when the chal

Choice Is Weeks Away.
If all tii- ." ' peremptory challena-ss
allowed by law are used, which seems
likely. th.y will empty a full Jury box
with Ik left over, and after these are
exhauste.l a final Z men mill have to
he selected. Impervious to challenge
for cause. The completion of a jury Is
therefore considered a matter of weeks.
Only a half session of court was held
today, because of a l.os Anreles pri

which was disallowed by the court.

headlines, "Vnlonlst Bombs Wreck the

read It. Argument enaued over wheth
er the page should go Into the record
as an exhibit. Preston said that he
had read extensively about the cases
and bad an opinion that the Times was
destroyed by sympathisers of labor
unions, which It would take much evi
dence to remove. He added, however,
that he had formed no opinion cover
ing the guilt of the defendant.
"I would not want to be tried by a
man of my feeling." explained Preston,
and he Immediately was challenged by
the defense for actual bias.
Aatt-I nlnm Feeling Stroeg.
Interrocatlon by the state developed
that Preston formed his opinion con
cerning the Times explosion, not only
as a result of suit he read, but from
conversations with "radical elementa"
of unions before and after the disaster.
"I've known several unionists very
Intimately." explained Preston, "and
tfcey remarked that It was too bad tt
was not General Otis himself blown up.
and from my experience with the
unions 1 did net put such a thing be
yond them."
"The opinion you have that the
unlona were antagonistic to General

sympathisers, was It not?" asked Dis
trict Attorney Fredericks.
" Ves." was the reply.
"You never knew of your own knowl
edge?" "No."
That's all." concluded District At
torney Fredericks, informing the court
that what Preston learned In this con
nection was within the scope of "pub

essarily disqualifying a Juror who had
based his opinion on It. Judge Bord
well asked how many unionists Pres
ton had talked with, and he replied:
"About a doxen."
" Did you talk with them for ths pur

Executive Warm in Ills Answer to
Banquet Speaker Who Asserts
Wholly New Policy Should
Replace Sherman Law.
PITTSUBRO. Oct. SI. President
Taffs second swing- around the circuit
came to an end here today In the most
enthusiastic and by far the noisiest
demonstration experienced In the 13.000
miles he has traveled. Pittsburg cele
brated the centennial of steam naviga
tion on Western rivers and Mr. Taft
was the star attraction.
The police estimate that there were
loO'.OOO persons at the wharf on the
Monongahela River when the President
was taken aboard the steamboat Vir
ginia to review the "fleet" anchored
there.
For five minutes after the Presiden
tial automobile turned down to the
river bank every whistle within several
miles was tied down. The noise died
down long enough for Mrs. Alice Roose
velt Longworth to christen a replica
of the New Orleans, the first steamboat
on Western waters, which was com
manded by her great grandfather,
Nicholas Roosevelt.
Taft Praises Roosevelt.
The President spoke briefly, praising
ex-President Roosevelt for his state
ment In behalf of the Panama Canal,
but when the Virginia, the flagship of
the 'fleet, turned out Into the stream
the din started again. For more than
an hour and a half the Virginia, with
the President In the pilot-house,
steamed down the Monongahela, up the
Allegheny, down the Ohio and then
back to the wharf. The noise was so
deafening at times that the President
was compelled to retire to the pilot
house to "hear himself think." He re
viewed more than 40 steamboats of as
sorted sixes and speeds, hundreds of
motor-boats, rowboats and canoes and
scores of barges and Government
dredges. It was such a fleet, the Pres
ident said, ss he had never seen be
fore. Taft brought his visit to Pittsburg to
a close tonight with a speech at the
banquet of the Chamber of Commerce,
where he listened to a plea for the re
peal of the Sherman anti-trust law by
Martin W. Littleton, Representative In
Congress from New York, and a mem
ber of the committee that la Investi
gating the Un'ted States Steel Corpor
ation. Llrtletoa Wants New Policy.
Mr. Littleton quoted both ex-Presl-dent
Roosevelt and Mr. Taft as at one
time or another naving oeen wiumj
to have the Sherman law amended. He
declared that there was before the Na
tion In ths solving of the "trust" ques
tion the most difficult snd far-reaching
problem affecting Its internal
peace and progress.
"It seems clear to me," said Mr. Lit
tleton, "that the Sherman law cannot
possibly be made effective In the ex
termination of the real evil without
carrying with It too large a sacrifice
of the whole Industrial fabric and that
It should be repealed and a new policy
or scheme of legislation Inaugurated."
Mr. Littleton suggested that every
corporation before It entered Inter
state business, be required to submit
Its Incorporation. Its status. Its true
condition, to a board created for that
purpose and to obtain a license to do
Interstate business. The charter, he
said, should be formal and definite and
recite the terms f the grsnC
It should be made subject to for
feiture for violation of its provisions.
With such machinery to start with.
Mr. Littleton said, "specific laws for
the guidance and control" of Inter
state cqneerns could be psssed by
Congress.
Competition Kot t Be Coddled.
-The common law has been recited
frequently to sustain the Sherman anti
trust law." said Mr. Littleton. "But
you will search In vain for any com
mon law which vaguely declares that
"every contract, combination or agree
ment in restraint of trade shall be un-
la"The real vice In the treatment of
the whole problem is in the attempt
to legislate solely against the result
or effect of a series of acts.
of especially defining and prohibiting
these acts. " ... ,
"Competition Is not a concrete thing
to be preserved, to be strangled to
death by superior strength unjustly
used. It must be free, but not by cod
dling the Inefficient or holding every
one back for the laggard.
"The Federal Government is supreme
in the sphere of lnterestate commerce
and it should challenge every cor
porate concern seeking entrance Into
that field and compel It to conform
to a certain standard.
"If the states continue to Issue blan
ket charters with no safeguards and
men choose to clothe their enterprises
with these charters, the Federal Gov
ernment could simply reject them as
unfit agencies to enter upon the great
field of interstate commerce. Is seems
to me that we could then proceed to
enact some specific laws for their
guidance and control. They should be
drafted as an industrial code, prohibit
ing the stifling of competition, seek
ing rebates from railroads, the pur
chasing bv one corporation of the stock
and control of another, and all the
various other means used to obtain
undue advantago In trade."

DRIVES A BAD GOLD OR THE GRIPPE
FROM YOUR SYSTEM IN FEW HOURS.
Says Quinine Is Useless and Tells
How to Break Up Worst
Cold and End Grippe
Misery.
The most effective and harmless way
to cure the Grippe or break a severe
cold, either In tlie head, chest, back,
stomach or limbs, is a dose of Pape's
Cold Compound every two hours until
three consecutive uosee are taken.
You will distinctly feel the cold
breaking and all grippe symptoms go
ing after tbe very first dose. It
promptly relieves the most miserable
headache, dullness, head snd nose
stuffed up, feverishness, sneezing, sore
throat, running of the nose, soreness,
stiffness and rheumatic aching.
Take thl harmless Compound as
directed, with the knowledge that there
is no other medicine made anywhere
else in the world, which will cure your
cold or end Grippe misery as prompt
ly and without any other assistance or
bad after-effects as a 25-cent package
of Pape's Cold Compound, which any
drusrgist In the world can supply.
After three years' research we have
conclusively demonstrated that quinine
