THE TWELVE ARE CHOSEN FOR
THE TRIAL OF AGENT GREEN
The Presence of Judge

Sits Turning a Sphinx-like Face
on Questioners mid AiwcriiiR
Their Inquiries With the Quiet
ntatement, "Judges Sliould Not
.-' Tnlk." : ;'
''Aro yon ready In proceed with
this case or the state?" asked Judge
Long this morning or Solicitor Jones,
Governor Aycoek, Colonel Ryan- and
Speaker Justice. Ijion their saying
trsy were, ho addressed tho same
query to the defense, whereupon Mr.
I'on arose and asked for further time
lit order that the entire, record in the
whole proceedings, Incluriln;?- nmda
vlts for hoth sirtss, may .ho tiled. Tc.
this no objection was made, and th'3
solicitor challenged tho jury.
The actual hearing of City Ticket
Agent T. E. Green and tho. Southern
Railway for violating the state stat
ute began in superior court this
roorninf.' I ate last evening .--Judge
Long' retei that the caso would be
heard this morning, last night having
the defense enter a plea of not guilty.
Promptly at 10 o'clock Mr. Green
and his counsel and the counsel for
the state appeared in the court room.
Not until it came to selecting the
twelfth Juror wbb much difficulty en
countered, but the counsel for both
the defense and state hung fire when
it came to getting the last man.
Judge Pritehard in Town.
Judgo Pritehard arrived in tho city
this morning from Ashevilo with a
writ of habeas corpus'ln his pocket
for Mr. Green. This gentleman had,
in the meantime, been taken out of
the hands of tho sheriff. Judge
Prltfhard about 9:30 walked over to
the federal building. When asked
about tho affair ho said, "You know
judges can't talk."
Expecting the liomli.
Every minute of tho morning the
ears and eyes of the court room were
alert for the least sign that would
announce the brink of tho Rubicon.
But nothing like that happened.
Court proceeded as orderly and
smoothly as If there were no question
of Jurisdiction between tho slate and
federal courts. Counsel for the do
fense would ever and agalu look to
: ward the front door, and Governor
Ay cock and the state's counsel would
smile. What would happen nobody
could foresee, but It was evident that
the defense had a notion that Judge
Pritehard would send an order into
court. No such thing occurred, how
ever, and tho business of empaneling
the Jury to try Mr Green and tho
Southern Railway went merrily on.
Selecting the Jury.
"The stato will excuse Mr. Mor
ing," Bald Solicitor Jones, whereupon
the clerk called tho name of James
H. Smith. Mr. Jones called out that
the state was satisfied.
Then Mr. Bushce asked Mr. M. R
Gunter a few questions. Mr. Gunter
had formed no opinion of the guilt
or Innocence of Mr. Green. Mr. Gun
ter looked good.
'"Solicitor Jones objected to tho
question, "Have you formed and ex
pressed the opinion that tho Southern
Railway Company Is guilty?" Mr.
J. D. Johnson said he had formed an
opinion, but had not expressed it.
Mr. Busbee objected to his serving.
Judge Long asked him If he were
conscious of his ability to pass on the
question uninfluenced by what he
has heard or Been. Mr. Johnson
thought so. Then Judge Long ruled
that Mr. Johnson was qualiflod to
-. serve.. . , . -
Mr. H. C. Markham read, the bill
on which Mr. T. E. Green was indict
ed. Judge Long; "Mr. Busbee, do
you think it necessary to read tho
whole bill of Indictment?" Mr. Bus-
bee said he thought the jury ought
to have a thorough knowledge of tho
case; he did not insist on reading tho
Whole Indictment only- about twclvo

Judge J. C.v Prii chard -'arrived in
Raleigh early thin' morning; . and
looked over papers todny with Jtidgu
Pisrnell. Judge-Pritehard,. of course,
would say nothing in regard to what
ho will do in the railroad rato ques
tion, stating that it "isn't proper for
a judgo to talk." He said, however.
that ho would tiiko no action in the
matter today, and would probably

A SLAUGHTER
HAS BEGUN IN POLAND
(By Leased Wire to Tho Times.)
Warsaw, July 18. A massacre Of
the Jews of Poland has begun. An
anti-Jewish program, rivalling the
horrors of butchery at Kishlneif
started la the Polish town of Skollsh
on the Austrian frontier. Thy Jews
have been attacked with tremendous
ferocity and vlndlctivcness. Soldiers
have been killed and injurod. Riot
ing is fierce In every direction and

will extend throughout I'ol.ind.

Wilson today at Ashoviie, and his
op ly. comment was: .. .
.'"Wonder 'if they .havo. begun their
sentence."
.During the itinraing' Judge Priteh
ard and .Judge. Ptirnell were in con
sullaiion. Tho ex-senator stated, in
regard to that, that they wero merely
examining. -papers. "If this wore a
political matter,'' ho stilted, "I would
talk freely; but it isn't, and it Is not
pioper for mo to say anything," . .
that Judge Boyd is at Toxawayy Inn
and that he will issue a writ.
The fact that the prisoners re
fused to give bond is looked on as
significant 'by slate attorneys.
Lator-r-Jiidge Boyd will arrive in
Ashevllle this afternoon to issue a
writ of habeas corpus in the case
of the two agents of the Southern
sentenced to the roads this morning.
The sheriff will not tako the
prisoners to Hie roads until tomor

and the bands struggled valiantly t i
make their music licsard above the
din. . ;
There was one continuous roar ot
"hello Pill," with the last word
cracked off sharp like a hark. Dele
gations from tne-. different cities as
they passed fouKu - friends--' lined
along the curb in every '.block, and
none was wanting for applause. The
pageant was so grand that it could
not fail to impress upon the multi
tude of spectators tne grandeur of
strength, fie brotherly feeling and
the good fellowship prevailing in
the lodges. It' was evident, that
every Elk in line, himself surprised
at. the proportions of the parade and
the ambition of every lodge to excel,
was mentally commenting that he
was glad he was a Hello Hill. Ills
sprightly step, : erect bearing and
pride-lifted head showed it.
The KiioriiiotiH Crowds.
The original plan of giving the
various delegates precedence hv
lodge number was ndhored to with
the exception of Philadelphia and
New York. Philadelphia, which Is
lodge No. 2, led the procession, New
York, No. 1, taking second place.
Tho other lodges then followed ac
cording to seniority.
. Over 130,000 people, it is esti
mated, poured into tho city from
nearby cities and towns to see the
parade. This crush, supplementing
tho great crowd already here, taxed
old Billy Pcnn to tho utmost. The
crowds did not seem to notice the
stifling heat until tho parade was
under way for some time, when the
spectators, lightly wedged together,
behind stout ropes, began to feel
uncomfortable.
A number of prostrations resulted
and the emergency crews In hospit
als were kept on the run.
The Philadelphia lodge had 1,500
men in line all dressed In neat blue
suits, white shirts and white shoes.
Of course the reception they re
ceived was a wonderful one, and
they deserved it. Then followed
New York with DOT men wearing
red and blue uniforms and carrying
purple megaphones and colors.
Some of the Features.

some remarkable features, compelling
applause of the most hearty nature.
The Denver lodge, with their cow-
punchlng outfits, were a great inno

made tho streets ring with their yells,
the clatter of burros' feet added to
the din, lassoes colled and uncoiled
to the Intense amusement of tho on
lookers, and occasionally a blank car
tridge of the shoot-up' type popped in
the ranks. The Colorado people wero
greatly disappointed by the order
prohibiting a general shoot-up.
The Kansas City lodge sprung a
great surprise on the Elks as well as
the spectators. Thoy made a secret
of their costumes and their Btunts,
