'NAMARA TRIAL IS
 STILL PROGRESSING

Los Angeles, November 14-By twists and turns, the McNamara case forged ahead today, weathering snags, old and new, until the inventory of the day disclosed at adjournment three sworn jurors, eight men passed for cause by both sides and a twelfth man passed by the defense.
 It was admitted tonight by counsel to the Associated Press that four or five of the men in the box will be peremptorily challenged.
 Talesman M. w. Corcoran, who WAS passed quickly by the defense after he had related that he read but lit tie and knew less about the case, was taken in hand by the state and just be- fore court adjourned again reserved There is a possibility he will be ac- cepted by the prosecution and that per- cmptories will be in order early tomor- roy morning.
 A tangle came when Burton Collins was on the stand. He came from Troy, N r., and is a cousin of Cornelius V. Collins. who was prominently identified with the contest waged by Theodore Roosevelt for control of the Saratoga convention which nominated Stimson for governor of New York His opinion

NO AMENDMENTS ID . HE SHERMAN LAW President Taft Indicates
 That Plainly LEGISLATION NEEDED After Cabinet Meeting Yesterday Taft Intimated He Would Have
 Something to Say on Sub ject in Message

Washington, November H.-President Taft is not inclined to approve any amend ments to the sherman antitrust law un- til it becomes apparent Congress- will not pass a federal incorporation act. The President indicated this today.
 Mir Taft is anxious to have some leg islation to clear up the situation for bus mess men, so they may realize exactly where they stand, but he made it plain that he preferred to see the change in the regulation of commerce. accomplished through federal charters, which could provide for corporations certain defined limitations He let It be known that should that prove impossible he would indorse amendments to the Sherman law pointing out specifically what big bus mess may do.
 It is the Presidents idea that if the Sherman law be amenoed it should define specifically what constitutes offenses against it. Crushing of competition, com blnation to ruin competition or to raise prices and other acts of the kind should be specifically named, in his opinion.
 President Taft also believes the amend ments, if made, should be framed so as to make it necessary for the government to prove that a combination which has
  originally was intended for that purpose, as is now the case. In the Standard Oil suit the department of justice had to begin with the company's record more than 30 years ago and work down to date to prove that the combinations were in tended to crush competition.
 There would be considerable risk in any attempt to amend the sherman law, the President has been tolu. and it is be- lieved that he shares this view. He has made it plain that he will not sympa- thize with any attempt to emasculate the sherman law and he again today eX- pressed the sentiment which he embod- jed in his Pittsburg speech-that he had no sympathy with the statement that business men did not know when they were doing wrong.
 After the cabinet meeting today, which was a lengthy one, the President ndi- ca ted that recommendations for trust leg islation in his message to Congress would be along these lines No bill will be prepared, the President merely recom- p1ending the legislation. All members of the cabinet present today strongly ad- vised the President to make his message short and he adopted their view.

This apparently could result only from external pressure The engineer in charge and other officers are main- taining reticence, but the discovery is strongly confirmatory of the theory of an external explosion.
 One body was recovered today from the boiler room It was that of an unusually large man.

ISRAEL DISMISSAL
 BASED ON DEMERITS
Department Claims Fact He Was of Jewish Faith Does Not
 Enter Case

New York, November 1i.-(Special.) ) A dispatch from Washington to the New York Sun says:
 The dismissal of Cadet Joseph Leon Israel of Brming gham, Ala, from the United States Military academy al West Point was due to the fact that he re- ceived more demerits for different minor infractions of the regulations than is allowed. There is no truth in the reports from Birmingham that he was dismissed because he was a Jew. According to officers of the army who are familiar with his case, Israel re- ceived a large number of demerits and his explanation of the different infrac- tions charged against him were not sufficient to cause the removal of all of them. He was dismissed for de- fciency in conduct.
 Israel was appointed to the academy by Representative Underwood last June. For the first two months of a cadets residence at West Point no demerits are assigned against him when he is reported for minor infrac- tions He is permitted to make eN- plantations which are considered by tEe officers who are charged with the duty of maintaining discipline This period of probation is for the purpose of en- abling the cadets to become familiar with the requirements and regulations. After two months have expired, how ever. demerits are imposed in case of minor infractions where a cadet can . not offer a satisfactory explanation. IF a cadet receives more than 125 demerits in six months he is dismissed for de- ficiency in conduct.
 In Israels case, he received more than the permitted number of demerits and although some were removed through his explanations a suffiicent number were left to cause his dis missal. Mai. Gen. Thomas H. Barry, su- perintendent of the academy, recon- mended to the war department that he he dismissed because of the accumuia- - tion of demerits. His offences were of a minor character, however, and not Of sufficient importance to cause his courtmartial
 Israel was recently in Washington for the purpose of appealing to Mai Gen.. Leonard Wood, chief of staff for reconsideration of his case. Whether or not he was successful cannot be learn cd, as General Wood is now in the west with Secretary of'War Stimson.

about the case extended only to the notion that the Times building was dynamited through the instrumentality of the unions. but he had no idea as to what the McNamaras were guilty of.
 Counsel for the defense learned that Collins had seen the twisted beams and crumpled girders of the buildin g, and that this had strengthened the opinion he had had earlier formed that a powerful explosive destroyed il.
 Personal examination of the wreck age hitherto has disqualified venire- men and the court allowed chat lenge against Collins on this ground to stand.

The PasmOre Trio

The seat sale for the musicale to be given by the Pasmore Trio at the Jeff ferson theatre next Sunday afternoon begins at the box office tomorrow morn- Ing The price of seats on the first floor of the theatre will be S1. The first three rcws in the balcony will be 75 cents, and the other balcony seats 50 cents. Ad mission to the gallery will be 25 cents.
 The Pasmore Trio is composed of three sisters-Mary Suzanne and Dorothy. They are daughters of H. B. Pasmore, the well known musician. In ensemble play ing they are said to be unrivaled. While their programmes are always artistic they are never heavy, and never too classical for the average audience Of music lovers. Commenting upon the work Of the Pas more Trio during one of their Chicago rectals, Karleton Hackett writing In the Evening Post, said
 .sThese young women are late of Der lin and they play delightfully."-, Miss Dor othy, the 'cellist, has broad, beautiful tone and draws song from her instru- ment. Miss Suzanne, the pianist plays with a musical touch. clear, clean tech nioue and with great intelligence. The same is to be said of the violinist. As a trio they rank high, indeed. Their playing of the third and fourth variations of the Tschaikowsky trio was charming. with feeling for the meaning and an ensemble that brought out its beauty. The finale they took with lots of dash. Their playing is musicianly and delight full"
 The above excerpt is taken from an extensive criticism which was but one of many dauratory articles that followed the trio's Chicago's appearance. The story of their Chicago reception is only a repetition of that which has been ac- corded them in every American city in which the Pasmores have appeared. The present is their first American tour. It will, before it's termination, include every large city and music center in the United States and Canada.

tary dissolution has vanished. Bei"re the harvester company came forward with a proposition to dissolve it is known the department of justice was delaying the institution of any action into rhe courts against the corporation under the Sherman antitrust law until the Missouri state custer suit was determined.
 This course was adopted so the gov ernment might be fortified with any prin- clple of law. Assistant Attorney General Fowler and E. Bancroft, general counsel for the Harvester company today, con- tinued their conferences in an effort to agree. but no conclusion was reached.
