Thaw for the killing of Architect Stanford White Is nearlng completion. Eleven jurors were In the box when court ad journed yesterday und the last Juror, it U confidently expected, will be chosen early today.

Two of these were replaced. Regarding two of the jurors excused no explanation wa given. Regarding the third Jurors, number 11, Mr. Kleinberger, it was stated that ill-health made it danger ous for him to act In the capacity of Juror. The other two, Mr. Walker, Juror No. 4, and Mr. Haas, juror, No. 9, wee both suprised when asked to step down. Those secured today are Oscar A. Pink, salesman, 48 years old, who becomes number 4; Wilbur S. Steele, manufacturer, 60 years old, who takes the place of Juror No. 9, and Juror No. 11 was replaced by Jo seph B. Bolton, 56 years old, a clerk by trade. It Is believed the twelfth Juror will be secured today, but the uncertainty of the term of service of one Juror, who is sitting on the trial bank, and at whose selection Thaw was visibly pleased, is so great that predictions are all but worthless. Itj was stated tonight that Thaw's coun sel might give in to.. Jerome's demand for an excuse of one of the jurors, if be would agree to excusing a juror which the defense does not regard al together with favor. This could not be verified. The release of so many sworn Jurors has resulted In an In- UCANBEZ You Can Be Easyl W. L.

He will trace the movements of Thaw and bis victim on the fatal evening and bring them together In the roof garden of Madison Square. where Thaw deliberately shot and killed Stanford White, while the latter sat at a table with some friends watching a theatrical performance. Roger O'Mara, former chief of po lice of Pittsburg, who has been work ing for several months gathering evi dence in behalf of Thaw, arrived In town last night. He is said to have obtained information and data valu able to the defense, but refused to disclose Its nature. "I have come here In answer to a telegram from Mr. Thaw's counsel." said O'Mara last night. "I have known Harry Thaw for years and we have been friend, and I know that he de sires that I shall be on hand during his actual trial. "I have information and data which ; are of value to the defence. I can say that, for I have been constantly employed for months In the gathering of evidence and making investigations for my client and his counsel." The membt-rs of Thaw's family, who are standing loyally by the side of the accused, and Thaw himself, while nat urally anxious, have looked forward eagerly for the day to come when the real trial would begin. Now that it is here they have announced that they will attend every session of court in an endeavor to cheer and encourage the young man who is fighting for his life.

WASltlNV TmS' Jan. 31 tl lulm Ing any Intention of "iMmilllnK" Pre ident Rooffvi'H and proteasing for him profound personal esteem, Senator IViyn-r of Maryland today addivKsod the Senate In critical review cf what ho termed the President's usurpation of governmental functions not con ferred on him by the co: siitutlon. He first referred t the recent speech of Secretary Root in which was described the gradual enlm Kemont of federal power at the expense of the states. "I regard this doctrine," said Mr. Iiayn"!', "as a most dangerous and Insidloiw attack on tho Institutions of the country." He said that because these doctrines "must be taken, a- they were Intended to be taken, us mani festing the purpo.se of the administra tion to carry this new doctrine of constitutional construction into exe cution whenever the opportunity or emergency may arise for its exercise." Before reviewing the specific net Ions of the President which met his criti cism, Mr. Raynor remarked: "The President Is laboring under the hon est impression that he is responsible to the country for the legislation of Congress." The first Instance of "conflict" be- i tween the executive and legislative functions, Mr. Rafnor said, was In the Santo Domingo affair. In which, he said, "The President has evidently made his own treaty." Without discussing whether the treaty Is right, he said: "The charge I make is that he has .accomplished this in violation of the constitution The treaty has been practically car rled into effect without consulting the Senate." The same means, he said might be employed for the collection of debts from any Central or South American republic. Mr. Raynor turned his attention to the judiciary, announcing his belief that it ought to be free from execu tive Interference. "It Is therefore my Judgment." he added, "that the tilt Iclsm by the President of Judge Hum phrey with reference to his decision in the cae known as the packers' case in the Illinois courts was an Invasion of judicial prerogatives." Senator Raynor then pronounced his disapproval of the President for "his intrusion" upon the states, taking for example, the note of the President to Governor Guild of Massachusetts, In which the course of the governor was commended In refusing to Interfere In the carrying out of the death sentence against Charles I,. Tucker. "I never knew of a communication of this sort to be sent by a President to the gov ernor of a state since the foundation of the republic," said Mr. Raynor, "and I deeply regret and deplore the Of fence. It would have been extremely good taste for Governor Guild to have respectfully remitted this telegram to the President with a caution that he did not request the President's opin ion in the case, nor the sanction of his high station to the carrying out of the execution." While admitting that no technical violation of any provision of the con stitution was Involved, Mr. Raynor contended that it was a practical an nouncement that the acts of state of ficials were subject to the approval or displeasure of the federal government. The turbulent times In the Senate attendant on the passage of the rail road rate bill were next alluded to by Mr. Raynor. "The President came Into the game early," he began, and then added: "We realize that no fight Is thor oughly equipped on this floor unless the President Is in It. He longs for a fight as the hart panteth after the water brooks. It was a match to the finish between the senior senator from Rhode Island (Aldrlch) and the Pres ident." "The most wonderful exhibition of the President's power in Congress" Mr, Raynor believed to have been, at the time of the legislating for the sea level canal. After describing this fight he remarked: "It shows how the dominating spir it of the President can ride the whirl wind when he has made up his mind to legislate and how in absolute de fiance of tho laws of nature ho van pro luce, a senatorial vacuum beneath tho sweep of his mindly Heiilus," The Schley case was tho next topic reviewed by Mr. Kaynor, particularly with reference to the President's ac tion In tlie mutter. Ho predicted Hint the Schley case would 't bo re opened, Just as n similar hud recently been In another land, "Ad miral Schley shall be heard," he an nounced, "living or dead. I havo nev er kuewn tin Injustice of till sort to have been done that the occasion did not arise to redress It." The result of the President's con struction of hi prerogative, Mr, Raynor said, had raised a new school of scribes who bad commenced to edit a revised edition of the constitution, called the "unwritten constitution," Tho President Is the prophet of tills new creed. "Hut," ho added, "one thing be has no rlulit to do, nod that to us the public patronage at hi" disposal to compel obedience to his views. Another thing he has no right to do Is to make compacts with th speaker of the lloii-v of Representa tive, or Its committee to accomplish or prevent legislation. II lun no right either beyond his messages In which he Is given the light t any time to stinges! any measure be may deem proper or necessary, to Inter fere with legislation and to force ("en Kress either to adopt hi recommenda tion, or If It rejects them to bring about rt breach between the legisla tive and executive department that Is detrimental to the best Interests of the country. That constitute an assump tion of dictatorial power which tho j pee pie of this republic will not sub mit to." In coniusoil Mr. Raynor said: "I believe that If the Democratk party would take up as It buttle cry tho reserved rights of the states an the Inviolate constitutional distinction f the legislative, the Judcial and the executva departments that we couh! rniiy around the ib'ctiinr tin?

French Cabinet Facet Crisis Becauee of Clash i-. Chamber. PARIS. Jan. 31. The existence of the cabinet I believed to be In danger as a result of a clash In the Chamber of Deputies last night between Pre mler Clemeneeau and Minister of I'M m at Ion I'.iiatel. The Incident, w hich was superficially smoothed over, It 1 learned, was over a radical diverg ence of views regarding the proposi tion of the French bishops. Hrland and Clemeneeau both regard the prop osition ns unacceptable In Us present form, but Hriand believe i the floor of conciliation should not be closed. Cle meneeau, however, will brook no opposition. When Freedom from her mountain height Unfurled her Standard for all to see, These words appeared In black and white, "Drink Rocky Mountain Tea."
