FIRST TRIAL OF STRENGTH
 IN THE NEW PARLIAMENT
ChamherIain's Fiscal Amendment Re-
 ieeted by Majority of 31-

London, Feb 24-The first trial of strength in the new parliament oc- cured tonight at a crowded session of the house of commons, when Aus ten Chamberlain's fiscal amendment was rejected by a vote of 2S5 to 254. Speeches were made by Arthur J. Bal four, leader of the opposition; Chan cellor Lloyd-George. Walter Runciman, president of the board of education; A. Bonar Law and others, none of which, however, gave any new aspect to the fiscal controversy.
 Although victorious only by the nar- row majority of 31, the government may regard the result as very satisfac- tor inasmuch as there was no cross voting and no evidence of any inten- ton on the part of the discontented groups to overthrow the ministry. All the nationalists. the O'Brienites as well as the Redmondites, abstained from voting. The Iaborites voted with the government and three liberals, Hilaire Belloc. Horatio W. Bottomley. and J. c.

 Division was taken amidst a scene of great excitement and the figures as announced were received with tre- mendous opposition cheering.

NO LIKELIHOOD OF
 TROUBLE WITH JAPAN.
Statement by Secretary of State Knox
 Outcome of Press Despatchee.

Washington. Feb. 24.-"There is not the slightest likelihood of any trouble with Japan any more than with any other country with which we have ex- cellent relations of friendship
 This statement was made today by Secretary of State Knox to a repre- sentative of the Associated Press when shown copies of the. press despatches from Tokio. indicating considerable discussion in Japan of reported utter ances of Mir. Shaw, ex-secretary of the treasury, and of General Bell, and alleged anti-Japanese expressions in San Francisco. The secretary express ed great surprise that notice should be taken of such trifles. and he added:
 MT. Shaw's speech was obviously nething but an argument for ship sub- sidy and what General Bell said made no reference to trouble in the far east and was quite evidently an ordinary argument for increased appropriations for the army. As for the San Fran cisco report, everybody knows that our immigration arrangement with Japan is working entirely satisfactorily. If, in spite of this, agitators will talk, no serious minded person should be dis turbed.'

JURY SELECTED IN
 BRIDGEPORT SUPERIOR COURT
To Try Clara Sprasue and Frederick
 Raynor for Murder.

Bridgeport, Conn, Feb. z4.-After examining many talesmen, a jury was selected in the superior court here this afternoon to try Clara Sprague and Frederick Raynor for the murder in this city over month ago of James H. Mullins, who, it is alleged, was as saulted in the woman's rooms and later thrown out into the snow of a nearby alley. On the opening of the court the prisoners pleaded not guilty and the selection Of the jury com menced.
 Medical Examiner Downs testified to his examination of the body, which, he said, was still warm when he made his examination. At the autopsy witness said he found that there was a frae- ture of the skull on the right side and that the brain also showed signs of disease due to alcoholism.
 On cross examination Dr. Downs ad- mitted that the man was a sufferer from Bright's disease and that it would have been possible for him to have fallen and struck his head on the ground and received the fracture of the skull, but not probable. Court was adjourned at this point. and cross ex- animation of the witness will be re- stunned in the morning.

 LEGISLATIVE PROGRAMME.
Bills to Be Passed in Redemption of
 Party Pledges.

Washington, Feb. 24.-Foilowing his return from a two days trip to New York and Newark, N. J., today, Presi- dent Taft had several conferences with members of the two houses of con- gress regarding the legislative pro- gramnfe. In recently published inter views purporting to set forth the pres ident's attitude, it was stated that he would press only four measures at this session of corg gress. The printed list omitted all reference to the conserva- tion bills, whereas the president has repeatedly pointed out that he would insist, so far as he legitimately could. that some at least of the conservation measures be enacted into law before the present session adjourned. The bills which the president declared to- day he expects congress to pass in re- demption of party pledges are these:
 Establishing postal savings banks.
 Amending and strengthening the in- terstate commerce law.
 The conservation measures give the persident the rigkt to withdraw public lands from entry and to continue the withdrawal until revoked by himself. or by. an act of congress, and providing for a reconsideration of the lands. These two bills may be consolidated.
 The anfi-in injunction. bill.
 The statehood for New Mexico and Arizona ss.
 In addition to these the president has recommended several other matters of legislation, including the bill for a new form of government fin Alaska. the bill for federal interpretations and the biii creating public health bureau

 William Seyler will probably remain in jail until the May grand jury has passed on his case but his brother Or wis may go free any time he is able to secure $2.00 bail
 jam Seyler. will ask for an order from the court for the disinternnent of the body of Jane Adams for an examina- tion by the surgeons retained by the defense. Counsel for the accused man contends that no evidence was pro- duced at the inquest last night to prove that the girl died by violence and he will plead that the defense should have the right to produce evidence concern ing the probable cause of death from it's own physicians.
 An effort is also to be made for the release of Seyler on hasbeas corpus pro- ceedings, on the plea that the evidence produced at tine inquest was not sum- cient to warrant holding Seyler on the charge of murder.
 Prosecutor Goldenberg said tonight that he would oppose all efforts to have the body of the dead girl disin- tered and also the release of Seyler on habeas corpus proceedings.

MAY RESULT IN STRIKE. Southern Railroads Refuse to Meet
 Trainmen's Terms.

Cleveland, O., Feb. 24-The replies of the southern railroads to the wage demand of the Brothenhood of Rail road Trainmen and the Order of Rail- way Conductors were opened here to- day. The refusal of the roads to meet the mems terms was unanimous.
 If the decision is to call a strike. as it is expected to be, the executive council of the two orders, which will meet here later, are expected to sub init to the men on all the railroad lines the question. whether a general strike shall be called.
 The strike votes on the Baltimore and Ohio and at large will not be i'm mediately effective. It is understood at brotherhood headquarters here that the votes will be used as ammunition by the chiefs of the two orders, to be used only in the event of a final re- fusal by the roads to concede the wage adjustment asked.
 In any event, affairs will not reach @ crisis, it is now expected, for two weeks at least.
