GREY IS EXPECTED ID RESIGN SOON He May Be Succeeded by Ambassador James
 Bryce

London, November 23.-The belief pre- vails in political circles that Sir Edward Grey, secretary for foreign affairs. will retire from the cabinet after his eagerly awaited exposition on foreign relations on November 27. in the house of com mons, and that James Bryce. ambas- sador to the United States, will sue ceed him.
 The resignation of the foreign secretary will almost certainly be handed to the prime minister should any lack of conf- dence be shown in his policy during the debate, which will follow his statement Monday.
 Sir Edward Grey. who, during the early years OF his occupancy of the foreign of- fice received the almost unanimous sup port of all parties, has recently been the object of continuous attack, not from the opposition, but by members of his own party, or rather the extreme radical ele- ment in that party. The secrecy with which diplomatic negotiations have been carried on has aroused the ire of the rad cels, who latterly have received some support from the more moderate lib- erals.
 The disclosures regarding the Anglo German conversations with respect to Morocco and statements that these two countries were on the verge of war have given the radicals another open ing and they are now, it is understood pressing for the retirement of Sir Ed ward declaring: We won't be drawn into war without knowing the reason why"
 The radicals favor an Anglo-German and accuse Sir Edward Grey of baking their efforts in this direction.
 James Bryce is the man considered most likely to be his successor, as he would be supported by the entire party as he was when the unionists attacked him for the part he took in the reel procity negotiations between Canada and the United States. By tacit un- the unionst leaders sup port the governments foreign policy, or at least refrain from criticising it..

M 'NAMARA JURY
 ASSUMING FORM

Los Angeles, Cal, November 23.--The McNamara jury took an appreciable form tonight and began to spread across the jury box from the end where Juror Rob- ert Bain has sat for more than seven weeks with little permanent company.
 Twelve men were in the box at the close of court. Five are sworn jurors and seven have been passed as to cause by both sides Of these seven the de- fense, will excuse four tomorrow. Un- less it changes it's mind the state will not excuse. This would leave eight men as sworn jurors, including the five here tofore accepted. Eight will be two-thirds of the number to be chosen. because the state will insist on its privilege of hay ing two extra jurors for emergencies
 Neither side will challenge J. H. Coke, inc last juror of the 12 to be accepted, If either side challenges c. $. Bisbee, who preceded Coke. the state will have to do it. The defense has only II peremptory challenges left

JURY STILL. OUT IN ' THE EARRING CASE Probabilities Are That the Jury Will Be Unable
 to Agree

Lincoln Center, Kan, November 2S.-For several hours today during the trial of the three men charged with abetting in the tarring of Miss Mary Chamberlain, school teacher, 19 years of age, considered the testimony but no verdict has been re- turned in court. As the hours rolled by and no verdict was reported, the opinion that there would be 'hung" jury grew stronger. Attorneys for the defense and the state said that cases against the three men were not equally strong and that conditions were favorable to long discussions. The judge said he would not request the jurors to debate later than midnight
 Once during the afternoon the jury asked to be permitted to examine the ex- hbits in the case. These were the things used by Miss Chamberlain used to rub the tar from her body and thrown in the road.
 The handkerchefs used were passed among the jurors and each one scrutinz- ed the articles. They also inspected the tar can which stood on a table in front of the jury box. It was believed by many that there existed possibility that tho p men doubted whether the tar mixture exhibited was really that used on the young school teacher. The mixture was a roof paint, containing a large amount of tar.
 The state failed to prove by direct tes- timony that the tar came from the Clark mill.
 Shortly after retiring for the evening session the jury returned to the court room and asked that the testimony of Chester Anderson and l1. G. Clark be read again.
 E. w. Dillon was chosen foreman or the jury. He is wealthy farmer with a broad education. Besides speaking three languages, he has printed book in sae- lie, making every character himself. The penalty for assault and battery charged against each defendant is punishable by

DANGER IN SPREAD
 0F SOCIALISM President of Cornell Uni versity Sounds Warning
 Note

Atlanta, November 23.-Dr. Jacob G.. Schurman, president of Cornell uhiver- sty, uttered a note of warning agalnst tine spread of socialism In this country in an address at the University club here today, where he was the guest of local cornell alumni. At the same time he stated the south would be the salvation of the country through its conservative progresslveness.
 q have been in every section of the United States in the past few months ana have had opportunity to study the political situation thoroughly" said Dr. Schurman. "It seems to me that poit- ical conditions are undergoing radical change-that we are returning to the discarded theories and ideas of 2000 years ago. Socialism is gaining in every sec ton of the union save in the south. In the east several socialists are in legis- lative halls. In the west socialist mayors are at the head of many municipalities. The north is undergoing the same fever of unrest.
 'In the south alone have I found that same spirit of conservative progressive ness which marked the spirit animating the founders of our country. The south will be the salvation of our country. for from it will spread the right kind of conservatism, bringing back the erring sections to a realization of their mis- take.''
 Commenting on the currency problems confronting the convention of the Amer ican Bankers association at New Or leans, where he delivered an address on Tuesday, Dr. Schurman referred to the currency of the United States as relic
 Inl hat de inc ctna d of on assets which can be quickly real ized upon. He advocated an elastic cur rency, such as that possessed by France, England and Germany.
