ON THE HOME STRETCH.1 Charles Ititz, an Italian residing in Jenkins alley, had a narrow escapo from assassination last evening at 8 o'clock. Walking out of his house, following a man who said he wanted to talk to him, he marched up to the muzzle of a shotgun. Some  away he saw other shotguns aimed at him. His alacrity in jumping back into the house wras what saved his life, for he had scarcely slammed the door before a fusillade was directed to the point where he had been standing. The attempt is laid at the door of the "Hlack Hand" and was one of the most desperate ever tried in this section by Italian cutthroats. It was the third attempt made on the lives of the Ititz family.

Twenty-three talesmen had lieeti oxa mined without success when the unexpected happened, and two talesmen in succession proved acceptable to both District Attorney .leroine, representing the people, and (lie defendant's attorneys. Then followed the drawing of five more talesmen, who were quickly excused for one reason or another. The first primary day under the new law Is almost here. Balloting for candidates will eommencc tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock and continue until 8 o'clock. During this time all the saloons and wholesale liquor places will be required to close up and do no business, the same as on a general election day. The chances are that there will be numerous infractions of the law on this point the same as there usually are. Some saloonkeepers believe—or seem to—that they observe the law by pulling down their curtains and taking care of the trade by the side door means. Another point of the new law that will be fount! hard to observe is the section prohibiting policemen on or olt duty from being within 100 feet of the polls. The city cops have always been a bin factor in elections here, and it will be hard for some of them to observe the law. i CHARLES B.

Harney, a piano dealer, about fifty-five years of age, was the thirty-first talesman to be called, and as he had never formed an opinion in the case and had read but little about it iu the papers he was quickly accepted.In I his connection Secretary Metcalf announced that Davis bad other ample authority for landing bluejackets on Jamaican soil, as is evident from tho following dispatch forwarded by Da vis through Admiral Evans before Davis left Kingston: much wrought up. Then Chief Loftus reached the house, and at the same time a detachment of the State Constabulary, under the command of Sergeant Mair. arrived. The men who did the shooting had disappeared some time before. Some of the people of the neighborhood saw them skulking away, armed with shotguns. The State police caused the arrest of the three HHzes, thinking they knew more of the case than they cared to tell about. They gave bail before Alderman Smith for a further hearing. The city police force was decimated last evening, on account of politics, it is presumed, and the officer on the down town beat had double territory to cover, lie happened to be at the far end of the beat when the shooting occurred and could not be located in the excitement. The news of the death was at onco communicated to President Roosevelt and Vice President Fairbanks, the latter being the first to call ut the Alger residence to express his sympathy. The president addressed a note of condolence to Mrs. Alger and accompanied It with a floral offering. Five Years Six Months for McKinley Wss Annoyed Curtis. Continuing, Mr. Alger snid: "I went to the president and asked him why, inasmuch as 1 had always dealt frankly and directly with him. he lmd not spoken to me instead of troubling poor Hobart about the matter. I asked the president if I had really embarrassed him. The other jurors chosen were George rfaflf, thirty-four years of age, a dealer in machinists' supplies, and Arthur S. Campbell, forty-two years of 11150, a superintendent of telegraph and telephone construction. The two jurors selected the first day of the trial were Deiuing B. Smith, a retired manufacturer, who will serve as foreman, und Charles II. 1'ecke, a shipping agent. Each of the jurors is married.

His record as a soldier in the civil war was" King, useful and highly honorable." Was Convicted Yesterday It is further announced that under date of .Ian. IS Admiral Davis received the following letter: "There will hardly be room for voters to get to the polls with the overseers of all the candidates," a citizcn said yesterday. While this was an exaggeration there was much truth in the man's idea. Three candidates have had overseers appointed throughout the city, and It would not be surprising if some more applications were tiled today. The candidates do not intend that, their work of weeks shall be nullified by any overt acts of election boards. The casting and counting of the vote in every ward will be closely watched, and it is believed that the returns will be entirely correct.

The order of the court that the jury must be kepi together under the care of bailiffs had the apparent effect of making many of the talesmen reluctant to serve. Various excuses are offered, one man declaring that to be locked up for two months would so wreck his nerves as to make a calm consideration of the case an impossibility.

In the meantime McMillan had announced bis candidacy for re-election to the senate a most dishonorable thing to do in view of his promise to tne anil many others.

Of the thirty peremptory challenges each allowed the prosecution aud the defense the former has used eight and the lat ter six. The defense seemed willing to accept any talesman who made reasonable answers to the questions propounded by the district attorney. The correspondence shows that Admiral Davis landed six men to guard and secure lite archives of the American cohsulate and another party of ten men to clear away the wreckage. Just a few minutes before S o'clock all the people within a block of the Kitz house were starlled by a sound of shooting. A volley and then a scattering report were heard and then silence followed. A few seconds later those who rushed from their houses saw Italians skulking along in several directions, all armed with guns. These were allowed to escape unmolested. D'o one in the vicinity cared to go near the Kitz house and the exact nature of the disturbance was not found until the police reached the scene. Chief Loftus went into the Ritz house and got the story of the shooting. All the members of the family took a hand in the tilling and after some difficulty the following facts were gleaned: The new registration law will mnkf its provisions felt. There will be no delegations from outlying towns Voted, as used to be a favorite occupation. There may. however, be some violations of the spirit, if not the letter of the law. The Gazette has explained editorially how this may be done to the disadvantage of the Republicans and the possible damage of the organization in the coming campaign. A larger number of Republicans will be entitled to vote at the Democratic primaries this year than will probably happen again for years. The only qualification required is that the voter shall be able to swear that ho cast his ballot for a majority of the Democratic candidates at the last election. This is very generally true in this section because of the reform gubernatorial fight when a Republican. Lewis Emery, jr., ran on tho Democratic ticket. Many Republicans voted with the reformers in the fall and also split their county and legislative tickets, as results showetL. For instance, fewer than 20 straight Republican ballots were cast in the Tenth ward, the city's Republican stronghold, last November.
