DISPOSAL OF VENIREMAN
DOESN'T SATISFY BARROW
Judge Bordwell Is Not Required
To Pass on Point When
Nelson Is Excused.

Los ANGELES, Cal. Oct. IL
When court re-convened today, both
sides In the Mcnamara murder trial
were determined to press the case
and make material progress In the
selection of a jury. Two veniremen
in the box have been accepted by the
defense, subject to peremptory chal-
lenge, and 1t Is expected that at least
two additional will be secured today.
The defense is much disappointed at
its failure to force ruling from the
court as to how far an opinion which
a yenireman insists he could lay
aside. can be used in getting rid of an
OBJ tcctionsble venireman.
II 10 realized everywhere that
Judge Bordwell out-generalled both
sides who desired to place him on
record at an early stage in the pro
ceedings The Judge, instead. exer,
cised his prerogative and INTERCEPTED
Nelson. He led him by easy stages
TO a point where he was compelled to
admit he was unable to answer yes OF
no 10 the simple question whether he
could lay aside the prejudice and act
fairly as the California code demands
As a result the state, seeing itself
facing an embarrassing position, was
forced TO withdraw its objection to
challenge, thus relieving the Judge
from deciding the point raised BY
eliminating Nelson. This admittedly
a great victory for the defense. indi
eating az II does desire by Bordwel
to secure an absolutely impartial
jury,

Then the positions Of both sides viii
be exactly reversed and the defense
will force the fight for the venire
mans retention. while the state, which
wanted to keep Nelson, who declared
he was sure dynamite was used. will
be forced TO face this fact squarely.
II Is plain already that the defense
will rely for a great portion OF Its
case upon the impossibillty Of proving
the corpus deficit. The indictment

turers IL transferring the entire fence
making industry to Pittsburgh. &C
cording to statements made to the
interstate commerce commission yes
terday by ID. b. Hays, attorney for
several Michigan fence companies.
Mr.. Hays declared the concerns he
represented, which manufacture the
greater part OF the wire fence sold
In the United States, must have re-
lief from existing freight rates and
conditions. or go out Of business. He
charged that the method Of the steel
corporation was TO base all sales of
wire on the Pittsburgh price, adding
the i5-cent freight rate from Pitts
burRh to Adrian, Mich. The price was
the same. he said. even though the
western manufacturer bought his wire
from mills in Cleveland. Joliet, De
Kaib or other places. The manufac'
turers demand a lower freight rate.

CATHOLIC CHURCHES ARE
ORDEREDIOSTOP TAKING
COLLECTIONS AT THE DOOR
Practice Of Charging Non-Pew
Holders 10 Cents Frowned On
BY Apostolic Delegate.
ORDER is NOT NEW ONE.
Similar Edict Was Issued in 1862
But Became Dead Letter,
Says FIR. Van Dyke.

Mgr. Falconio, apostolic delegate In
Washington. has sent a circular letter
70 all archbishops and bishops OF the
Catholic church In the United States,
ordering the abolition OF the practice
OF asking q contribution at the door OF
tie churches, or charging fee for a
seat In the church, TO non-Catholics,
or those who DO not pay pew rent.
No Official cognizance OF the mes
sage has been taken in the Detroit
diocese, as the letter. II here, Is prob
ably among a mass OF sealed mail on
the desk OF Bishop John s. Foley, who
IS IA attendance at the golden jubilee
OF Cardinal Gibbons In Baltimore, and
Is not expected TO return until the lat.
ter part OF the week.
However, the issuing OF the order
Is unofticialy known here, and il caus-
Ing some comment among the Catholic
clergy
The Rev Ernest Van Dyke, of st.
Aloysius' church, said Tuesday, that
until the return OF Bishop Foley and
the Official announcement, by the
bishop OF Mgr. Falconio's message,
there would be no oflcial action taken
An Detroit, where the practice Of TAX
ing collection OF 10 cents from adults
at the door at the 3 o'clock. or chill
dren's mass. is general.
IF. Van Dyke explained that the col
lection IL principally for the purpose
OF Keeping grown people away from
the children's mass
The service is especially for the
children, SO the practice OF taking up
collection OF 10 cents at the door
Is TO keep the pews for the children,
who are not asked to contribute at
the door" said the priest
In very few churches In Detroit is
the practice In vogue OF taking up q
collection at other masses, from all
who do not hold pews.
One OF the churches where this Is
the practice, Is FIR, Dougherty's on
Fourteenth-ave. Many priests feel
that they have such great burdens to
support, in their churches. rectories,
schools. and oftentimss clubs and
other institutlons. that the contribu-
lions at the door are most welcome.
Catholics understand this, and make
no objection
rBus as to the attitude OF the priests
on the order abolishing the practice,
that does not figure in the matter at
All. When the order comes. through
the bishop, they will obey.
The move is not a new one. A
similar order came from the second
plenary council OF Baltimore, the DOM
inant see o. the church in the United
States. In 1852 But II became sort
0f dead letter, and thig latest circular
is merely revival of it."
