( The presiding Judge,- M.- DeValles, Immediately ordered a rigid Itiveitlga. tion, saying that for the' time being the foreman would be replaced by one of two supplementary jurors' who-have followed the case. -: .,; This latest mystery In the case which has developed a score of enigmas, threw the - great orowd surrounding the Palais De Justice into a furor. As the word spread across tn acres of humanity, a clamor arose- and In half a dozen place at once men - and women began to harangue the orowd. The poliee drew, a strict Une bnt-Jtelf) the "crowd in .oheclfn)y "wlthdlnV cuity. '.- tt The knowledge that the climax of the case would ' come- today, attracted- crowd to the building In Which the court of the Assises l situated that out numbered any of the throngs that hare gathered, on the previous days of the trial. Lines began to form at- mid night, and by dawn there was a com ! pact mass of thousands about (he Palais De Justice. All the bidding for places of the other days was sur passed, in ' some instances $300 being paid for a position that would give admission to the court but no seat. The- failure of the jury foreman, to appear In court 'was the cause for a Idosen stories of subtle influence at work to mar the trial. The Jurors in a French trial are not looked up, None . of the precautions to ' prevent (outside Influence affecting them,' so familiar in America, are taken. When the day's Session is over, they are at liberty to return to their homes. Moreover, an unanimous verdict Is not . required, the : decision of the ' majority being accepted. In the event of a tie, the foreman votes. 'The fact that the jurors hive' passed their spare time at home or at least, away from the court, has been regarded as one of the most important factors in the Stelnhell oase. Most of the Jurors are married and the most determined f opposition among the public for M roe, , Stelnhell has come from women;, It - was , known that if the wives of the Jurors shared this feeling, the result might be serious for the prisoner..

West, the opin ion, prevails ' In Washington that the resignation is part of President Taft's plan to change the government of the District of Columbia from a commis sion form to a one-man system. It is known that President Taft favors a form,, of government, for the district similar to the territories, with a single responsible governor at the head of affairs. iThe district now has only one com mlssloner - In office.

COZART IS TRIED FOR SEDUCTION Action Continued On Acconnl of Many Material Witnesses Being Absent BASEBALL TODAY W. P. Cozart Charged With Seduc tion- Under Promise of Marriage- More Than Sixty Witnesses in the Case Trinity Freshmen and Hos iery Mill Team Play Baseball This Afternoon Durham People Want to Get in Same Leage as Raleigh Big Crowd Will See Negro Baptiz ingGood Audience Listen to Miss Hasklns at Y M. C. A. Entertain ment. (Special to The Times) Durham, N .C, Nov. 13 One of the biggest cases ever brought before a local magistrate was Unit of Miss Nina Aiken, of Creedmoore against W. Pender Cozart, of the same place, for seduction under promise of mar riage. The case came up yesterday afternoon. The action was continued at the instance of the prosecution represented by Messrs. Bryan and Brogden . Theer were two material witnesses who were not present and the plaintiff did not want to proceed, until they were here. The defense, represented by Colonel Thurston Hicks and Braham and Brawley, of this nlnra. did noLreaist. There is no other, date set for It now Morp than sixty witnesses were here from Gran vllle and there are several Durham men In the unfortunate affair. A great crowd sat in the court room, ready to drink down the ugly affair when it was called off for the after noon. The prosecution is trying to bring about a'marriage. The Trinity College Freslimen and the Durham Hosiery Mill team are playing a game of baseball this af ternoon on the hosiery mill diamond. It is one of tlfe latest of the country but both teams like to play and there has been so much baseball talk here that everybody wants to play. Major C. H. Gattls, of Raleigh, spent yesterday in the city and he had the .fans to promise a representa tive at the Wilson meeting next week. The Major is particularly anxious that Raleigh and Durham go in the same league and that Idea strikes the local center. Durham ap pears to have favored the Carolina Association, perhaps on account of the bigger towns that are in that circuit. But that this city will be glad to get into the other league, ad mits small doubt. The colored Baptists of the West Durham Baptist church are announc ing a public baptizing tomorrow morning at 11 o'clock and in compli ance with popular demand, the Trac tion Company wil run cars there to convey the curious crowd. There are said to be about two dozen candi dates and they are to be dipped In the Traction Company's pond. Three hundred people sat in the Y. M. C. A. lobby last night and enjoyed Miss Ethel Haskins, of Peace Insti tute, Raleigh; Mrs.,T. E. Cheek and Miss Inez Wooten In duet; Miss An nie Whitmore and Mr. George Sligo in solo. . It was the first attempt of the Y. M. C. A. Bible Class to give an en tertainment primarily to the public. It, was so splendid an affair that the guests last night could not explain how it managed to steal upon them without their having heard more about'it. It was truly a little adver tised project, but the promoters were .perhaps afraid to promise any more. It was a thoroughly delightful event. Miss Haskins, as a reader, struck upon the happiest selections. For her more serious reading, she went to that master of a simple and cogent style, Henry Van Dyke, and for something more light. Edmund Vance Cooke was levied upon, while. Joaquin Miller, who writes argument and philosophy in every line of poetry that he authors, came In for one of the best things of the evening. , Miss Haskins' repertoire Is choice and ap parently unlimited. Coupled ' with that, she has gifts of oratory and reads even in her most subdued pas sages In a voice marked for its clear ness and intelligibility. The opening number of Miss Has kins ' was followed by the duet of Mrs, Cheek and Miss Wooten, "Oh, That We Two Were Maying." Here twb' striking voices meti one a violin- like 'soprano,' theother a rich, low, cello-like alto. ; They met 4u perfect, accord and concord and in the piece Where there is almost an interchange of alto and soprano, each possessor of these voices takes the part and one must follow closely or he forgets. They sang it charmingly and no less. Miss Annie Whitmore pleased the audience in her solo of exceptional sweetness and Mr. Sligo had to re spond to his baritone with a little skit "Rosalie, that made a fitting precur sor to "refreshments" announced at the close of the evening. All of these good things were pre pared by the men. There was not. a feminine hand in it, the cream being the preparation of men and the cake with it the product of a bakery mann ed by men. The ladies declared It so successful, an affairs that not even they could hope to rival it. Mr. Wilcox, master of ceremonies, announced that this Is the first of a series to be given this winter. They will probably take place at intervals of four weeks and each will most likely differ from its predecessor. These Friday night entertainments are given under the auspices of the Young Men's Bible Class. That class is entitled to this passing word. Though at present it has a member ship of but sixty-eight, its average at tendance has been seventy-six. Mr. Wilcox hopes for the best one In the state. He has started well to that end.. Though the sale yesterday at the Bannef warehouse was not quite equal to the special of last week, wiien nearly 100,000 pounds went on the floor in a single day, the mana gers disposed of 79,170 pounds at the beRt price that has been paid any day of the year. The average was $17.65 hundred, the best heretofore being about twenty points less on the hun dred. The lot yesterday brought $13,- 886.52. The average for the week waa $17.63. A note taken Thursday showed some remarkable values. In a pile of 410 pounds $143.50 were tied up at 35 cents a hundred. Another lot of 332 sold for $32 a hundred; one of 234 for $37.50; one of 250 for $45 hundred, another of 260 at the same figure; 216 at $48,260 at $50 and 410 at the same price. One pile of 410 pounds therefore brought $265. ' -' These peculiar prices of the Ban ner warehouse are the resultant of the Person county farmers, who bring their best wrappers here and sell them at such fancy prices. There is enough of this kind to make a gen eral average very high. It would be an injustice not to make these dis tinctions. Fine tobacco has the sky only for a limit in this locality. In the report for last month, Dur ham stood well up in the leaf mar kets, holding the position that she has held the past several years, sixth and selling more than 1,300,000 pounds in October. It is very like ly that November will beat any pre vious month this year. The fourteenth birthday of Miss Minnie Lee Mangum, daughter of Mr. J. Mangum, of Roxboro street, was duly celebrated last night in juvenile style, the young people pairing off with all of the seriousness of those of more meaning years. The reception to the young folks be gan at 8 o clock and refreshments and games marked the diversion. The couples werS Miss Floy Edwards and Roy Ross, Iona Norrls and Eddie Edwards, Nellie Clark and Herbert Edwards, Minnie Lee Mangum and Herbert Teer, Mamie Smith and Gra ham Adcock, Esther Wyatt and Ad rian Houston, Edith Cox and Clifton Clark, Mattie Mangum and Proctor Mangum, Arthur Stagg and Winnie Edwards, Iven Beck with the chaper- ones, Miss Anna Hoiloway, Miss Mamie Mangum and Miss Gertrude Shaw.

The committee on resolu tions, the first of the committees to report to the convention, presented its recommendations upon a large number of resolutions this morning. The convention adopted a resolu tion by Agnes Nestor of the glove makers, reaffirming and emphasising the attitude of the American Fede ration of Labor in favor of woman suffrage.
