CAUSES MANY TO AVOID DUTY
Only Exercise Will Be the Little Walk
Twice Daily Between the Broad
way Central Hotel and the
Courthouse, Under Guard.
NEW YORK, Jan. 26. Three Jays
of the trial of Hary Thaw have passed
and the net work of all this time has
been the selection of seven jurors. To
get those seven Jurors 101 talesmen,
half of the panel drawn have been ex
amined. While the lawyers engaged have got
so the examination of the talesmen
consumes le,-s time than was taken
In the early stages of the trial the
talesmen themselves have become more
wary, apparently, and the excuses put
forward for not serving are varied
and Ingenious. It is possible that the
remaining five Jurors needed will be
found In the 100 talesmen still await
ing examination, but If yesterday's
proceedings are a forerunner it is
doubtful. Fifty were examined yester
day and out of this number two werei
secured. Five were drawn from the
first 50 talesmen examined.
The reason for the general desVe
not to serve Is probably found in the
order of Justice Fitzgerald, practically
locking up the jurymen from time to
time they are drawn until the trial is
over. This Is an unusual proceeding
and as most of the talesmen are active
business men it Involves possible fi
nancial loss besides the hardship.
About the onlyi, physical exercise
the jurymen selected enjoy now or are
likely to enjoy for some time Is the
little walk twice daily, accompanied by
court officers to and from the Broad-
censorship. Kven the books and mag-
I azlnes are subjected to the same sort
of scrutiny.
The men are comfortably housed at
the hotel, seventeen rooms with baths
and a private dining room having been
engaged for them. The Jurors so far
selected are accepting the situation
In a philosophical spirit and with the
utmost good nature.
The plans of the defense while they
have not definitely developed are still
believed to be those which have been
gnrally prophesied emotional Insan
ity and an appeal to the so-called
"Higher" law. Only the faintest Indi
cation In this direction has appeared
In the trial so far and that was yes
terday, when Clifford w. Hartridge,
chief counsel for Thaw asked a pros
pective juror this question:
"Would you take Into consideration
all the evidence tending to show the
conditions of this man's (Thaw) mind
at the time of the killing of Stanford
Whiter
There werlt rumors In the court
yesterday tht there had been a ser
ious disagreement among the members
of teh Thaw family. The reports start
ed when Harry Thaw's wife and Miss
Mae McKenzIe, her constant compan
ion, arrived at the court room some
time before Mrs. William Thaw and
Mrs. Carnegie, mother and sister of
the prisoner. The gossip was Intend
ed when it was noted that though
Mrs. William Thaw gat near daughter
In law, the two apparently took no no
tice of each other all day.
Lawyer Hartridge. when his atten
tion was called to the gossip, took oc
casion to deny that there had been
' any disagreement between members

543 Bond St., opposite Fisher Bros.
in Germany. All the rail

oy me government. .Mr. Hi main says,
in a report to the State Department:
"The greatest cause of the scarcity
(of cars) Is the extraordinary activity
in the iron and steel industry. For
the first half of 1906 nearly 700,000
more cars of coal, coke and patent fuel
were delivered by the syndicate than
during the corresponding period of
last year, and the dally dispatch of
cars has frequently exceeded 21,000 In
number.
"The Prussian State Railway author
lues have been severely criticised in
consequence of the shortage of railway
carg. Thus, during June, although
221,991 more cars were available than
in June, 905, the shortage amounted
to nearly 1,000 cars a day. But, on the
other hand, it is questioned, even with
this shortage made good, it would
have been possible to satisfy the de
mand.
"The market scarcity of cars at this
time of the year is all the more dis
f(uletjiig, since the farmers will short
ly be drawing heavily upon all avail
aide railway rolling stock to move
agricultural produce. The result of
this deficit in the number of cars sup
Idled 1ias been that In several cclllerles
the miners have been compelled tern
porarlly to stop work, a measure which
in these days of high wages Is a cost
ly matter."

NEW YORK, Jan. 26. -Henry M.
Hamilton, who died at his home near
New' Brunswick, N. J., a few days ago,
was the man who built the Philadel
phia & Reading, as the result of a
light against the Pennsylvania Rail
road. At the time the Pennsylvania
Railroad had a mcnnply of the busl
nu8 between New York and Phila
delphia, and Mr. Hamilton had an Idea
that New Jersey ought to have a com
peting railroad. He begm to organ
ize a company to build a road from
Bound Brook to Philadelphia to be
known as the Delaware & Bound
Brook Railroad. All the power of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company was
exerted to defeat Mr. Hamilton, an.l
he succeeded In getting a charter ami
later he got charters for several other
companies, which were consolidated
and became known as the Philadelphia
& Reading Railroad Company. The
road was-finished In 1S76 and was
opened in time for the Centennial Cel
ebration In Philadelphia. Mr. Hamil
ton was one of the founders of the
Iowa SLatie College at Grlnnoll.
