The gods i'm the sky might be favor

never carried the latter belief TO its

sacrifices and in other ways to appease
these gods and avert the evil. This
aNerting was magic and i'm this the
priests naturally eXcelled. for they had
me key to the phenomena. 1t was
natural to refer the movements of the
sky to the nearest kindred phenomena
on earth. and this correlation of the
workings Of the gods expressed in

In an effort TO familiarize the people
with the ma ture of the regulations, the
Health Department for some months
refrained from prosecuting those who
were accused OF neglecting the regu-

STILL UNABLE TO
SECURE JURY

LOS ANGELES, CAL Special
How many weeks it will be before a
jury that will try James Is. McNa-
mara for murder in connection with
the destruction of the Times building
was a question which counsel con-
nected with the case refused to haz-
ard a guess at today.
After nearly three weeks with the
first Venire 125 men have been ques-
toned. All but six have been ex-
cused. and out of these six the prob
ability is that not one will serve when
the trial finally gets under way. Only
three men have been passed for cause
by both sides.
The first to undergo the ordeal was
Seaborn II. Manning. He would prob
ably be accepted by both sides, at
torneys admit, but his health has al
ready been impaired by the confine-
ment of the jury room, and il is be-
lieved that he will be excused rather
than run the risk of one of the jurors
being compelled to leave the case be-
fore it is over.
Robert f. Balm, the second man
passed, it is believed. will fall before
a peremptory challenge of the State
1t is certain that George w. Nc
Kee, held in the box after a chal-
lenge by the defense only after a
vigorous fight to dislodge him. will
be summarily removed by the defense
when opportunity comes.
1t is thought Balm will be removed
by the State, and Green, another
juror. it is believed, will
also be peremptorily challenged by
the defense.
The examination of +. r. Essley
the last man Of the Venire, had not
been completed when court opened
today but it was reported that nc
held conscientious scruples against
capital punishment and was expected
TO fail today before questions by the
State.
AS soon as the Venire is exhausted
ana rulings have been given on Ess-
ey another panel will be summoned.
