LUCK MAY HASTEN
CHOOSING OF JURORS

Los Angeles.-"If we can find 12
fair-minded men among the talesmen
now being examined, we will accept
them without exhausting our 20 per-
emptory challenges" was the state
ment Clarence S. barrow, chief coun-
sci for James B. Mcnamara, on trial
for deaths resulting from the explo-
sion of the Times building here 10
months ago. District Attorney Frede-
ricks shares this view, so that with
three jurors already sworn, a lucky
combination may furnish a complete
jury within a shorter interval than
expected.
The decisions in this state uniform
ly hold a conviction could not be set
aside on the ground that the defense
was obliged to accept biased jurors,
unless it occurred that it was neces-
sary to accept such jurors when per-
emptory challenges were exhausted.

DefenseIess Natives,

Nanking.-More than 5000 native
Chinese men, women and children are
dead and 5000 others are homeless
as a result of the wanton slaughter
in this city by the imperialist army.
Hundreds of bodies lie among the
smoking ruins of dwellings. The pro-
perty of the Chinese was first looted,
then fired.
The carnival of death began with
the moment that the Manchu COM
mander succeeded in beating back the
rebel force which had been storming
his troops, intrenched on Purple Hill.
The Manchu soldiers did their work
thoroughly. They even mutilated dead
bodies horribly. Arms, legs and heads
were cut off. Skulls were split, and
other bodies disembowled. They
seemed crazy not only to see people
die, but to see them suffer horribly
before dying. Mothers were compelled
to look on while their children were
killed, husbands while women of their
households were outraged. Refugees
spoke of having waded ankle deep in
blood to reach the city gates

Production Of Precious Stones.

Il may perhaps be surprising to |
many people TO learn that the United |
States produces almost every variety |
OF precious stone-from diamonds |
down. The precious stones produc-
ed in this country last year had a
value OF 500. 1877. against SS34, $50
in 1909, according TO an advance
chapter from Mineral Resources Of
the United States" on the produc-
ton OF gems and precious stones in
1910. by Douglas B. Steuett, just
published by the United States Geo
logical Survey. The large decrease
in the output OF a few of the more
important gem minersls-touTmsline
turquoise, chrysoPrsse, etc.-says
Mr.. SteTrett. readily accounted for
the fall in the value Of production.
AS an instance Of this decrease IN
production. about 8 ID tons Of
rough turquoise were produced in
1910. as compared with more than
II tons IN 1909,
All the diamonds produced in this
country in 1910 came from Arkan-
sas and California. the output Of Ar
kansas amounting TO about zoo
stones. Several diamonds were
found in California last year. one Of
which weighs about half a carat and
another between 81 and 2 carats.
