First Talesman Man of Too De-
cided Opinions to Make
Fair Juror
FIRST BIG SNAC is
NOW OUT OF THE WAY
With Nelson Out of the Way the
Case Made More Progress and
Two Juror Were Examined
and Accepted Yesterday

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 16.-When
seemingly caught in it's first big snag
the Mcnamara murder trial in al. in
slant today twisted itself out of a
situation which had worried the OPP
posing counsel since last Wednesday
and for the remainder of the day
went ahead joyously.
could you set aside your opinions
sufficiently to enable you to give q
fair trial and impartial verdict" was
the question put to Talesman r. E.
Nelson by Clarence S. G. barrow,
chief of counsel for James Mcnamara
who is on trial for the murder of
Charles j. HagGerty, machinist killed
in the Los Angeles Times explosion IA
year ago. Nelson hand been asked
many hundreds of questions to elicit
his views and had gone around all
of them without clearing the situa-
ton.
II don't just know" he replied and
at this one instant District Attorney
John d. Frederick for state withdrew
his opposition to the challenge prev
iously made by the defense on ac-
count of bias.
Nelson Had Decided Opinions
In the course of Nelson's lengthy
examination he had said he believed
the Times blown up by dynamite;
that he had an opinion concerning
the guilt and innocence of Nc
Namara. AS the defense contends
both that the Times was blown up
by gas, that Mcnamara has an alibi
these opinions were extremely dis
tasteful to it. The state resisted the
| challenge on the ground that under
the California criminal code Nelson
could hold such views without being
disqualified.
When the court closed today Mel
son was on his way home and two
other talesman had been examined
by defense, one of them John w.
Roberts, real estate dealer, was
found satisfactory and Robert d.
Balm, a carpenter, was also examined
without raising any contest. Roberts
and Balm are both passed middle age
and have white hair.

SCHOOL CONGESTION
A SERIOUS PROBLEM
Principal of Mckinley Building
and City Superintendent Are
Working Out a Solution

Miss Rose, principal of the McKin-
ley school building, and City Super
intendent of Schools. are working to
arrive at a solution of the problem
of the crowded condition of the first
and second grades at the Mckinley
school building. 1t is probable that
as result of their efforts some pu-
p!i from outside the school district
will be required to leave ana attend
rhcir district schools. 1t is also prob
able that other pupils who live within
the district but who attend the Nc
Kinley school in preference to the
Summit View, though that is nearer
to their respective homes. WI. be re-
CURED to go to Summit View These
changes, however, it is not thought
will be sufficient to reduce the attend
ance in the first and second grades TO
normal, particularly as the Bonnie
Brae section of the city is growing
rapidly and other provision will of
necessity be required for the grow ,h
expected.

PTkIN. Oct. 16-Even in the face
of a depleted treasury, the imperial
government is showing remarkable
activity to establish it's authority and
an army is being hastily dispatched
to the scene of the rebellion. But
few details of the situation are filter
ing in. 1t is believed, however, that
order is being maintained at WI
Chang and HankoW.
The American consul at Hankow
has sent a message to Pekin asking
to be kept informed as to the pro-
gress of the army southwark. Rein
forcements of the American legation
by one hundred men who are pro-
ceeding from Manila are indicative of
the seriousness of the situation. 1t is
not believed, however, that the lega
ton viii be subjected to more than
inconvenience.

Fruit Inspectors Plan to Wage a
Fall Campaign Agains the
Infected Sections
TREES IN THE CITY
MUST BE MADE CLEAN
Nurseries Are Now Taking Up
Their Young Stock and Vigor-
Gus Efforts Will Be Made to
Eradicate Crown Gall

A strenuous fall campaign against
Yakima and Yakima county in most
likely to be waged. State Horticul-
tural Commissioner Huntley and his
deputy, T. o. Morrison, now have the
matter under consideration. They
may require the campaign to start
this fall and they may not inaugurate
it until spring, however, the spring
brings it's own troubles to the inspect
ors and as the spraying can as read
lily be done in the fall it is Altogether
likely that the fight against the pests
will be inaugurated this year.
Trees Are in Bad Shape
Some of the trees IN this city are
in pretty bad shape. They have been
reported two or three times and their
owners warned but no notice has been
taken of the warning as a general
thing. One or two people, among
them a professional man, whose trees
are said to be in a very bad condition,
have declined to observe the law 1t
is just possible that the campaign will
trees which will either be sprayed by
the owner or the authorities or else
destroyed as being incurable The
law, it is understood. is specific and
destruction of few of the worst trees
will lead to better treatment of those
remaining, at least by that element
which values shade about and near its
home.
In North Yakima where trees are
near homes or other buildings it is
admittedly a problem in some in
stances to know what to do with them
but it is held by the authorities that
the fruit interests must of necessity
be protected.
Active Work In Nurseries
The active season in the nurseries
for the fall has arrived. Digging is
already in progress and this means
increased activity on the part of the
inspectors who propose to make as
careful an examination of the trees as
possible while the digging is under
way. Crown Gall is the difficulty
looked for at this time and all infect.
ed trees will be condemned and de-

infection will be discovered but the
reputation of the county as a nursery
district rests upon the care with which
the inspection is made and therefore
it will be thorough. Similarly every
precaution will be taken for the max.
ing of an examination of the trees
which are brought in from outside
The bulk of the planting here is ir
the spring, however. and therefore the
new stock from outside usually comes
in at that time of the year.

Miss Martha Townsend Is Struck
by a Stone Thrown at an
Automobile Party
SUSTAINS A SEVERE. CUT
ON SIDE OF HER MOUTH
Was Member of Group of Foot
ball Enthusiasts Which Was At
tackled Near Sunnyside While
Returning From Grandview

Miss Marie Townsend. a student of
the high school here. sustained a very
painful injury Saturday while r~urn-
ing from Grandview in an automobile
with a party of friends. She was
struck in the mouth by stone thrown
by boy who stood by the roadside
just a little distance out from the
town of SunnNsde. Her lip was cut
open and several teeth were loosened
Her face swelled great deal ana
Saturday and Sunday she was consid-
cradle of a sufferer and Monday was
injury she sustained
Failed to Make Capture
Young men members of the auto
mobile party of which Miss Townsend
was a member, made an effort to cap
ture the youth who threw the stone
but as it was quite dark at the time,
the miscreant had an opportunity to
escape before they could apprehcnd
him. All the members of the party
were indignant, because of the attack
upon them and the fact that it had
resulted SO severely to Miss Town
send and her father, upon her return
to this city was naturally greatly
aroused and prepared for harsh treat
ment of the assailant. 1t is not prNb-
able, however, that the offender viii
ever be discovered though, though
Mr. Townsend believes discovery
would be easy If the authorities OF
the county and of Sunnyside would
take the matter up.
Stoning of Automobiles
That the stoning of automobiles has
taken place before at or near the
spot where Miss Townsend was in
jured is indicated by reports which
have reached the press from time to
time from parties which have been in
the lower valley and unfortunately
there are other districts which also
offend. Sooner or later such conduct
will lead to a disaster. Had Miss
Townsend been struck on the 'pls

FOUR ELECTED FROM COURT
Men Whose Sympathies Were So
Manifest Asked to Leave Room

Four men were elected from the
court room today. They left so
quietly the spectators generally
thought they were departing on their
own accord. The men became agi-
tated when Joseph Scott, attorney for
the defense denounced Nelson as I'M
fair to sit on the jury, declaring it
would be better to lynch James Nc
Namara than to try him before a jury
composed of men of Nelson's type.
Noting their excitement the bailiffs
suggested to them that they leave
and they did so. A report that they
were affiliated with the international
association of structural ironworkers
was found in circulation tonight with
out confirmation, even their names
being unknown.
