AER0PLANES IN WARFARE.
Their Use by Italy Not Violation Of
Hague Agreement.

Italy's use Of the aeroplane In dropping
grenades into the Turkish camps, 1t is
declared here, is not a violation Of the
fourteenth agreement of The Hague con-
ference OF 1907 prohibiting the use Of air
craft in the discharge OF projectiles and
explosives ''or by other new methods Of
similar nature" in so far as that coun-
try Is concerned.
The last official report Of countries
which have signed the agreements en-
acted by the 1907 conferences, received at
the State Department last June. showed
that while Turkey had signed this partic-
ular agreement, Italy had not. And as
the agreement is only binding when war
takes place between two or more sigma
tories. In this case It is binding on nei-
Their power. In any event, the convention
is only binding for a period extending to
the adjournment Of the third peace con-
ference.

GEN. OTIS SON-|N-LAW
DRAWN ASA TALESMAN
Chance Puts Los Angeles
Times Vice President in
Fourth Venire.

Los ANGELES, Cal, November A.
The fourth venire in the Mcnamara muir
der trial appeared today before Judge
Walter Bordwell to undergo fast pre-
liminary examination. by which the court
winnows out all those who for personal
reasons are disqualified for jury service
or should be excused from it, BY
chance the big red jury wheel turned
out In this drawing of forty men the name
Of Harry Chandler. son-in-law Of Gen.
Harrison Gray Otis. proprietor Of the
Los Angeles Times. and himself vice pres
ident of the company which publishes the
paper.
Aside from the examination of venire-
men by the judge. no session of court was
held. some members of counsel for the
defense wishing to have Saturday in
which to clear up private business.
With eleven talesmen accepted as to
cause, there is hope that Monday will see
the twelfth qualified, and the beginning
of the peremptory challenges. These
probably will reduce the number Of tales
men in the box to about three, and the
work Of filling it up will be resumed.
Full Jury by New Year.
New Year day. 1912. will see full jury
box. in the opinion of counsel. AS has
been the case with preceding venires, the
forty men summoned today developed a
large majority with reasons to present
why they should not serve. Under the
law. all those drawn for jury service must
be shown by the county assessment roll
to be taxpayers. In Los Angeles county
are thousands of men past middle age,
many of whom have lived in the east, and
have come here upon attaining compare
tive prosperity TO live away from the
rigor of northern and eastern winters
For this reason man after man who has
appeared for jury service has declared
himself over sixty years of age, and sep
tuagenarians are not at all unusual. The
hearing of many of these men. il has de-
veloped is affected, and several have been
excused on that account.

L. Scott, Sd Cavalry. who is regarded as
closer to the Indians than any other

of opinion among the Indians as to their

rendered to Gen. Miles, after one of the
most protracted and sanguinary cam

had studied the purpose Of the insurgent
Sunday school to force itself upon the
rising generation.
II have sought in vain for one word of
assurance that our children would be
safeguarded by the teachings of our Bi-
ble,' she added. Instead, teaching Is
sent forth that should be considered a bu-
gle call of alarm to every parent and
lover of children's souls. It holds up to
to be sent out into life as soldiers Of the
common good instead of soldiers Of the
cross
Plea for Direct Teaching.

phernalia in the Sunday school and more
teaching direct from the Bible.

tinued her mission study class on the

rally religious Hindu.

foreign cults. Indigenous to India, now
alarmingly popular on western soil. and

ment was made that Mrs Wood will
