Trial and it is Thought There Will be Trouble in Getting Jury. Publishers' Tressl New York. Nov. 21. Justice Greenbaum in the supreme court today transferred the Thaw case from Re corder Gofifs court in general ses sions to the criminal branch of the supreme court tttlore Justice Newburger. The trial is set for Dc. The transfer was made at the request of District Attorney Jerome. Assistant District Attorney Garvan appeared before Judge O'Sullivan in General Sessions today and asked for a special panel of 130 talismen for the trial of Thaw. The argument in support of the motion was that the case had received a great deal of newspaper notoriety, and the District Attorney believed the special panel asked for would be necessary to ex pedite the work of getting a jury. Clifford W. Hartridge, appearing for Thaw, opposed the motion, as he thought the talismen who would be drawn on a special panel would have read the newspapers and would be too Intelligent to be able to giv; the defendant a fair trial, he also wished to save the taxpayers money. Judge O'Sullivan took the matter under advisement.

. - f , M
GOVERNOR ELECT HENRY A. BUCHTEL. ftfenmond people have more than a passing Interest in the election of Dr. Henry A. Buchtel, Republican, to the governorship of Colorado, for he was at one time, several years ago, pastor of Grace Methodist church, and one of the most popular men that ever worked among the local Methodists. Dr. Buchtel was called from Richmond to an eastern pulpit and six years ago was chosen chancellor of the University of Denver. He is one of the very able men of Methodism. Largely owing to the fact that Dr. Buchtel is a preacher, the public will watch with interest his course as a chief executive.

Early in his career he was a missionary in Bulgaria. The aovernor-ict is both a doctor of divinity and a doctor of laws.
DEPART GREATEST INTEREST EXPERIMENT BE TRIED ELSEWHERE. MAY Over one hundred and seventy five patrons of the Garfield school, who under ordinary circumstances, prob ably would have never visited the school to see their children at work. crowded the recitation rooms at the session, last night that they might see just what their children were ac complishing in an educational way. Owing to the uniqueness of the affair, and one which originated in the minds of the school children, the ev ent marked an epoch in Richmond school history. The parents were more than pleased with the idea, for they stated that under ordinary cir cumstances they were unable to find time to visit the schools regardless of their wishes to do so. An air of "do your best, we have visitors" hung over the various stu dents at work and they responded nobly and their efforts were watched and listened to With the greatest in terest. Although the music classes, history classes and many other classes tak ing the lower branches of study were were reciting and were ones which found many supporters, the main in terest of the visitors centered in the manual training departments.- Here the boys and girls were doing things that could be observed, and their growth watched. In the boys manual training department the 8 A class was working in wood, and their many little contrivences attracted the close attention of the visitors, while the boys whittled, sawed, vhammered and planned the rough wood wood into .tangible objects.

MANUAL TRAINING MENT CENTER OF
BROOKLYN BRIDGE DECLARED UNSAFE President of Brooklyn Transit Company Issues Warning to His Patrons WONT BE RESPONSIBLE OLD SCARE RESUMED IN AN EN TIRELY DIFFERENT FORMNEW YORK ENGINEERS DEEPLY INTERESTED. New York, Nov. 21. The old story that the famous Brooklyn Bridge is in danger of collapse, as the result of the enormous tramc wmcn is uuuy jmi upon it, was revived today in a new and rather startling form. Vice-Pres ident John F. Calderwood, or tne Broaklvn Rapid .Transit Company, which is operating the trolley and elevated trains across the bridge, issued ! an official statement today, in which he declared that the limit of capacity has been reached; that his company can do nothing further; and that It a calamity comes his operating departnot desire to be held re sponsible. The report that the old structure, which for years has been one of the show places of the world, might collapse, causing a terrible calamity, has been scoffed at so often that this latest cry of "volf" is not likely to receive serious attention, but nevertheless the engineers in this city are deeply interested in the problem. Last Report 10 Years Ago. It is more than ten years ago now since a similar report that the bridge was in danger of collapse startled New York and caused Brooklynites, who are of a nervous disposition, to take the ferries for many weeks. How ever, the scare soon wore off, and tne bridge still stands. When originally constructed, however, it was never Intended that trolley cars should pass across it. the designers only intending the use of the bridge railways, which i now used for the elevated trains. The enormous travel on the bridge is such that the engineers in charge are kept on constant duty now watching all points to see that a collapse does not come.

SERGEANT MCMANUS GOES TO GAAR AND SHURLEY'S TO HIRE A HORSE AND FINDS "STOLEN PROPERTY."
John Shurley, the genial liveryman was the victim of circumstances yesterday and if it hd not been for the friendliness of Sergeant McManus of the local police department, Shurley might today be behind prison bars charged with the theft of a horse and buggy from the hitching rack near the Dig Store on Ninth street. Yesterday afternoon about one o'clock Chas. McClure, of New Madison, O., hitched his horse to the rack, and went to make a call upon a doctor in the neighborhood. When h returned at two o'clock his horse wagone and a search in the neighborhood did not restore the lost rig. Tho matter was immediately communicated to the police and Sergeant McManus who figured In the last lvrse stealing case in the city and which turned out to the benefit to all persons concerned except James Huffman, the man who stole the rig, hurried into his overcoat mittens and huge winter cap, in order to start in search of the thief. Shortly after the matter had been telephoned to the police, the stenographer in Dye's real estatJ office stated that she had seen a man come tip to the rig and drive south. This only heightened McClure 's anxiety. In the meantime Sergeant -McMan us hurried to Green's livery barn where to obtain a horse in order to follow the thief. As l?ie Sergeant is a critic when it comes to horseflesh, he would not accept anything but his favorite horse which at the time happened to be out of the barn. McManus then went to the livery barn of Gaar & Shurley where he asked for a horse, stating that he wanted one, that could travel all afternoon and all night if the occasion called for it. Mr. Shurley who was attending to McManus' wants asked him what was up and the Sergeant told him that he was looking after a horse and buggy that had been stolen from a hitching rack during the course of the afternoon. Here Shurley asked if the horse had been taken from the rack at the corner of Ninth and Main street. McManus replied that it had and then a grin began to assume full sized proportions on Shurley's face, lie then told McManus that he had tak en a rig from Ninth and Main street, but he had been ordered to do so by Humphe Miksell a farmer living near Chester, whose horse had been hitched at the rack and the owsner wanted him taken to shelter out of the rain. McManus asked Shurley to let him see the rig which he had taken and when the buggy was examined McManus straightened himself and stated "I will not have to go farther to find the horse thief, for you are the man" Shurley was surprised beyond measure, but he easily accounted for the mistake sayiag that as he did not know the rig which he had been ordered to take to shelter, he had driven off the wrong , rig, while the one he should have sheltered, remained out in the Storm during the whole aft noon. Mr. McClure was very much pleased, and after calling at the police headquarters, and paying the charges on the telephone messages sent to mton and New Paris, asked tho authorities there to head off the culprit, at those points, he returned to his home at New Madison. The police at headquarters state that Shurley owes them a treat, for his mis-' take, and the liveryman stated that he would settle on these terms, but in his own words he said, "for the love of heaven don't let it leak out."
