By a long and cautious feeling out process, the first neutrality case jury was obtained in federal court yesterday and the trial of the Phelps Dodge" case started by the prosecution. Immediately the de- fense started a series of objections, calculated to lay down precedents in this very case by which the introduce ton of evidence might be controlled, and the government was forced to vary slightly it's direction of attack. To establish a conspiracy among the defendants is the duty of the United States attorney aud the defense wanted to be very careful that all the evidence was presented properly. The session closed at six o'clock with the government interrogating Ramon P. De Negri. it's first witness, who was called to show that he had pur- chased the arms from the Phelps Dodge and Douglas Hardware com pany's stores. After one objection. the jury was excused while counsel debated the issue hOtly.
 The result of the debate was a small victory for the defense, in that if compelled the prosecution to ap- proach the case from another angle. The attempt to gain from De Negrt a statement as to a conversation he held with J. L. Perez. a fellow con- spirator after the witness had ar ranged the purchase of cartridges from Manager Fisher of the Douglas Hardware company was what precipi- tated the argument. It was necessary for the government to foregO the in formation as his honor sustained the defense on the ground that in a con spiracy case. what one conspirator says to another prior to the intro auction of evidence showing con- spiracy existed was not proper evil dence. and could not be introduced against a third conspirator who was not present.
 Morrison immediately changed his tactics reIinquished his quest of in formation on the phone conversation between Perez and De Negri and be- gan eliciting evidence regarding the actual movements of these two. De Negri testified to having gone to Bisbee via Naco, where he picked up Perez. Martinez and an American whose name he does not recalh At Bisbee. he went to the Copper Queen store and there in a conference in the office with Manager Frank E.

The department seeks to exclude Hindus on the ground they are like ly to become public charges and argued today it's agents were the sole judges of this likelihood.
