No Session Of the Senate to Be Held
Tomorrow.

On motion of Senator Hale the Senate
today agreed that when it adjourns il
shall be to meet next Thursday. Mr..

est of promoting legislation as such ad-
journment would permit committees to do
necessary work which. he said they
could not do so long as they are Obliged

Joint committee on revision of the laws a
codifcation of criminal laws. and sug-
xested that instead of adjourning over

at that time and proceed to consider it,

OKUMA IS FRIENDLY
NEVER ADVISED A RISING IN
INDIA.

TOXIC. Japan. January I. noan.-A
remarkable situation has arisen as a re-
suit of the publication in London of a
mistranslation of the speech delivered by
Count Okuma at Kobe. Little attention
was paid to this address at the time of
it's delivery because Count Okuma in pre-
vious speeches on this same subject had
made his views well known. The London
publication put the count in the position
of urging India to rise against Great
britain.
Count Okuma and the Japanese foreign
Office have been bombarded with cable
grams of inquiry from Paris, Berlin, St.
Petersburg and London and requests that
the count publicly repudiate or confirm
his remarks. In reply Count Okuma said
today:
Well-Known Attitude.
"In my Kobe speech I did not use the
words that were put into my mouth 1t
is apparent that a mistranslation of these
remarks has Just reached England. My
views on the subject of trade with India,
as we'll as my friendliness to Great Brit
ain. ought to be too we'll known to make
it necessary for me publicly to repudiate
the absurd construction which has been
placed upon the remarks I made at Kobe.
/ have never entertained a thought which
could be stretched into such a meaning.
India offers US a fine field for trade, and l
urged my people openly and consistently
to enter that field in fair competition with
friendly Great Britain: that is all

Used a Whole Panel.

During the first two hours of the morn
ing session sixteen talesmen had been ex-
amined and only one conditionally ac-
cepted.
1t required thirty minutes for Mr.. Lit
Teton finally to disqualify Dexter c. Tiff
fany, a stock broker, who said he had a
fixed opinion. but insisted he could render
a fair verdict. 1t took thirty seconds for
Mr. Jerome to. dispose Of Charles McCul-
Tough, a public accountant, who declared
that evidence might remove, but could not
change. his opinion.
McCullough's was the last name in the
first panel The second panel, which re-
ported today, then was drawn upon. Two
of the provisional jurors selected yes
terday were excused by consent. They
were William E. Brewer. decorator, and
James Conway, hotelkeeper.
During the examination of Charles c.
Goss. an auditor and accountant, District
Attorney Jerome asked for the first time
during this trial: Have you any ideas
of your own as to higher law. or ir-
resstible impulse. or anything of that
sort?"
Goss replied in the negative and was
accepted as a provisional juror as the
luncheon recess was ordered.
