TO REST ON ONE BRIBE. Mr. Untermyer Decides to Confine This Case to $5,000 Extorted From Builder. ‘The selection of a jury to try Rob- ert P. Brindoil, President of the Building Trades Counsel for extor- tion, was begun to-day before Jus- tice McAvoy, sitting in Extraordinary Term of the Supreme Court in the Criminal Courts Building. Sixty-seven of the 100 epecial talea- men summoned responded to their names. None ‘of the talesmen examined be- fore the noon recess were qualified as Jurors, Two of the first four wero peremptorily challenged by the de- fense, which has twenty challenges. TRIAL TO BE CONFINED TO ONE $5,000 BRIBE. It was announced at the outset that the trial would be confined to the charge that Brindeli, Sept, 27, 1920, extorted $5,000 from Max Aronson, President of the No, 235 West Thirty- sixth Street Corporation, by threat- ening to order a strike, The pen- alty is imprisonment up to fifteen years, The prosecution was served to-day with an order by, Jtidge Crane of the Court of Appeals to show cause why the trial should not be stayed pending--a review by tho Court of Appeal of the denial of a, charg: of revenue by the Appellate Division, The order does not serve as a stay now. -ft fs returmatle fer argument Friday.” ‘Samuot Untermyer, acting ~~ Tb Attorney General, after, consultation with his asajstants, Deputy Attorney General Samuel Pergor, Special Deputy Stanley Rich- fer and Assistant District Attorney Robort Johnatone decided to go on with the case until siopped by an netudl stay—which they are confl- dept will, nat be granted. r “Brindell came into court with bi counsel, Martin W.

Justice MoaAvoy «| dismissed it Mr. Littleton objected to, the special panel called for the sameé*reason and was again over- ruled, as was his objection on the ground that change of venue pro- coedings were stitl- pending, : HOW THE JURORS WERE SELECTED. Twelve talesmen were called to wupy the seats in the jury box, and as many ‘more oa room could be found for were seated jn chairs around the witness chair, This was so all could hear the questions usked of the talesmen first examined and nM lengthy repetitions of questions eliminated. William Coles of No, 327 West 44th Street, a caterer, said he did S| not know the particular charge on which Brindell was to be tried. Abked what he thought extortion was, he said “taking money away from another fellow when it isn't coming to you," Mr, Littleton was not on his feet for an objection quicker than his client, whose thin nose was fairly quivering with indignation and whose broad, toothsome smile vanished. Neither spoke. Mr, Littleton had to devote himself to quieting Brindet), | who was, on smiling again. Mr. Coles finally mid he “wasn't against organized labor but I don’t like labor Unions.” “Your Honor,” said Mr, Unter- myer, “we want nobody on this jury who is prejudiced against labor unions.” Mr. Coles was excused, Mr. Littleton’s first chance to show his Idea of a jurors qualifications was in questioning G. M. Marshall of No, 38 West 189th Street, a clerk in the office of the treasurer of the New York Life Insurance Company, Mr. Littleton went at once to an inquiry regarding prejudices Mr, might have gained from newspaper reailing. He laid stress on the effect on the talesman if reading The Even- ing World's disclosures regarding the feeling against Brindell's Iubor tyr- rany as the motive that led to the ‘Wall Street explosion, Mr. Marshall sald he had read The Word and Hivening World more than any other newspapers, but his reading would not interfere with his rendering a falr verdict on the evidence in this particular case, Marshall was chal- Jenged by Mr, Littleton.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.—"An in- ternational agreement with all, or practically all, the nations which will guarantee an end of competition in navy building” was presented as the only alternative to’ the building by the United States.of a navy powerful enough “to command the respect and fear of the world” by Secretary Dan- fels in testimony to-day before the House Naval Affairs Committee. The Naval Secretary, who ap- peared before the committee in con- nection with its consideration of the subject of disarmament, dismissed as unworthy of discussion a third pro- posal for an American navy less than equal to the most powerful sea power in the world “because it Is a waste of money to spend money on an agency of war which would be help- less if needed.” “It President-Elect Harding should do me the honor to ask my advice on the subject," declared Mr. Daniels, “I would unhesitatingly say to him: “If the United States is not to be- gpme at once a member of the League of Nations.1 belleve some plan should be adopted at once to secure an agreement for a reduction of arma- yments, You will have the authority to call such a conference. You can act on March 5 and hasten the com- ing of the day when the taxpayers of this country and of all countries may. be safely freed from the great bur- dens of war preparations, Until that conference secures world agreement Jet there be no cessation in building the ships authorized by Congress.’ ” Sharacterizing the “naval holiday” between the United States, Great Britain and Japan, provided for in the pending resolution introduced by Senator Borah of Idaho, as a “halt way measure,” Mr. Daniels reiterated his opposition to this country enter- ‘ing into such an agreement.

WASHINGTON, Jan, 11.—Census Bureau officials sald to-day it would cost $2,000,000 and require from two to three yéars to copy off and thus ave the census records damaged by the fire last night in the hasement of the Department pf Commerce Build~ ing. Complete exainination of the dam- age done by water and fire showed that the 1890 records, the mdst volu- minous of the entire number, were almost totally destroyed and officials said it would take months of work to even gave a portion, The records of 1860, 1870, 1880, 1900 and 1910 were par- tially damaged by water, but enumer- ation records previous to 1860 are practically intact. T. J. Fitégerald, Chief Clerk of the Census Bureau, made plans to-day for removing the records from the vaults and drying them out, prepara- tory to beginning the work of copying them. It is estimated that at least one-third of the records from 1790 to 1910 would ha’ to be copied. ‘The Department of Commerce was closed to-day while repairs to the bullding were being made. Cigarette smoking was blamed in the Senate to-day for the fire. Sen- ator Smoot, Republican, Utah, de- clared that smoking during working hours in the Government departments should be stopped. He and Senator Poindexter, Republican, Washington, urge establishment of a Federal archives building to protect such val- uable records as were destroyed in the Commerce Department fire. abhall skasbeleselts SEEK 2 DYNAMITE THIEVES.
