PKTKHPHl'Il' I, April 12 A demand for thfi exclusion from I'arllainfnt of three aoclalist drputiH piiid im tlndr trial for political offenses, suhmiUed to the lower house of J'arlian.ent hy the minister of Justice, M. Oitclu-KlovltofT, caug.-d great excitement at today's session. The prose cutions of the deputies were instituted In the provlnii nl courts tor acts commuted before ti.e convocation of Parliament. Two of the men. I fjeurus. a teacher ai.d Social revolutionist or Kuban, and A. A. Kuxnetzoff, social democrat of Simbrlsk, are accused of huiiiK socialists, and, there fore, members of a party contemplating the overthrow of the state. The third. A. R. Kupstas, a peasant land owner of Kovna, who was returned a member of tho left party, is charged with makliiK revolu tionary speei hes. The constitutional demo crats proposed to refer the ministers' de mand to a committee, hut the soclalmts and revolutionists Insisted on an Immediate flat refusal In order to place the house on record against the classification as crimes of such acts as the three deputies arc charged with. M. Alexlnsky, social demo crat of St. Petersburg, In an excited speech pointed out that a recognition of the min ister's right to demand the deputies ex clusion might lead to the extension of a third of the membership of the house. The minister of Justice defended his de mand. Ho said the law rle.irly provided for the temMiraiy suspension of ch puties Indicted for criminal acts. The house, he Insisted, had no discretion In the matter, and he further asserted that the Russian courts were above suspicion, a statement which was greeted with Ironical laughter. Speakers Ilenonnre Action. M. Chtcheglovitoff's remarks were blunt and uncompromising and brought out fiery answers. Kven the constitutional democrats were swept off their feet. The rule closing the sitting at 4 o'clock, was uspended, and the house shook with ap plause as speaker after speaker denounced the Russian Judicial system an being u travesty on Justice. M. Tesllnko, constitutional democrat of Moscow, doolarwd that for forty years the minfuters of Justice had been tearing out pages from the code of Russian laws until nothing but the covers remained. Tho prosecuting attorneys, he declared, were graduates of gendarme offices and the Judges cifatures of the present regime. M. Azemoff, constitutional democrat, re ferred to the fact that in the indictment of M. Kuznctsoff, he was classed as a revo lutionist, a phrase of speech appealing to the overthrow of the autocracy. Then turning dramatically to the minister of Justice, M. Azemoff, asked whether Russia was Mill an autocracy, for "if so, the manifesto of October 30 was a lie. and it not, then the defense of the autocracy Vile the real revolutionists." M. Alexlnsky proposed that troops be brought In to arrest the deputies and thereby complete the humiliation of Par liament. Tho constitutional democratic resolution to refer tho demand of tho min ister of Justice to a committee, which was opposed hy both the socialists and govern ment, was carried by a vote of 1ST to 175. On account of the Increasing mass of work morning sessions were discontinued.

The twelvu men were promptly discharged by Justice Fitzgerald, who de clared that he, too, believed their task wua hopehss. Thaw whs remanded to tho Tombs without bail to await a second trial on the charge of having murdered Stan ford White. When this new trial would take place no one conne, t. d with the case could tonight express an opinion. District Attorney Je rome declared there were many other per sons accused of homicide awaiting trial anil Thaw would have to take his turn with the- rest. As to a possible change of venue, both the district attorney and coun. sel for Thaw declared they would make no such move. Thaw's nttorneys will have a conference tomorrow with the prisoner to decide on their next step. Jerome Will Oppose nail. They may make nn early application for ball. Mr Jerome said he would strenu ously oppose It. He added the belief that ns seven of the Jurors had voted for "guilty" his opposition probably would he successful. In that eve-nt Thaw lias an other long s imme r ln-fore him In the city prison, for his case on the already crowded criminal calendar cannot possibly bo reached until some time next fall. The panes attending the announcement by the Jury of the Inability to agree were robbed of any thratrirallsm by the general iH-lief that after the ir long delibe ration and the re ports of a wide division of se ntiment the Jurors could make no other report than one; of disagreement. Defendant Almost Cnllnpaea. Thaw, surrounded by the member of his family, received the news In absolute silence. When It beirauie known that tho jury was about to make It.s report Thaw called his wife to a seat by his side and sat with his right arm thrown about her until he- Win comm. .11. led to stand and face the Jurors. Smiling and contldent as he cntctvd the court room, he sunk limply into his chair when Foreman Demlng R. Sinlili, In response to a cpo'stinti by Clerk Penny us to whether a verdict had beta agreed upon, said: "We have not." The mother, her face hidden behind a dense veil of black, sat stolid and motion less. In 111 health of late she hud felt se verely the strain and stress of the long hours uf anxious waiting. The wife gripped her husband's hand tight as the Jury foreman spoke, und then, when he sank down by her side, she tried to cheer him as best she could by saying that she believed he would now be admitted to ball and that a m-conel Jury would surely set him free-. The; mother, the siste-rs an! th brothers, pale and well-nigh exhuusted by their tedious, ne rve-racking wait for a ver dict, were permitted to speak with Thaw for a few moments, to bid him be of good cheer before ho i-rosseei the "I.ridg of Sighs," to the cell, which, until a few mo ments before, he hoped he was ubout to quit forever. Outside the criminal court's building only j a few hundred persons were gathered. j Thousands had been there earlier in th day, but police reinforcements bad arrived with Instru'-tions to keep everyone moving I and this had soon tired the Idly curious , ii 1 ii w iillnirness to depart. 1 Crowd F.xclueleel from Court Itnoni.

It was 4:2& when the Jury filed Into tho court room. Harry Thaw hud bee-n waiting for a summons tu face the jurors evur since- shortly after 10 o'clock this morning. He felt that today would bring a crista and either u verdict woulej be reached or Justice Fitzgerald would discharge; tho Jurors from any fuiihir consideration of the case;.
