Secure Jury Quicker
Than Was Expected.

INDIANAPOLIS. Sept. Special
Judge William II. Eichhorn, presidInl-
at the trial OF Mayor Joseph +. Bell,
on election conspiracy charges in COM
mon court today reversed his former
ruling concerning the line of question
ing Of jurors followed by the defense
attorneys when they insisted upon the
relevancy of referring to the alleged
part taken by an Indianapolis news
paper in the prosecution of the de-
fendant.
Court had no more than opened
when the controversy over this matter
was renewed
Atty. Spaan began his grilling Of
veniremen by asking whether il would
have any effect on their minds if evil
dence developed to show that Richard
Smith, editor of the indianapolis
News, had endeayOred to have Mayor
Bell prosecuted.

Roach protested, but the defense as
serted that the questioning was rele-
want, and insisted that witnesses
would be examined along these lines.
SuStainS Right.
EX-United States Dist. Atty. Miller
of counsel for the defense, also said
that there would be times when wit
nesses would be questioned to show
what was the basis of prosecution. >"
Judge Eichhorn declared that such
questioning would be assuming" but
sustained the right of attorneys for
the defense to ask such questions OF
the veniremen except with reference
TO Richard Smith directly.
William w. Spray, letter carrier Of
West Newton. was temporarily passed
as a venireman, after being thor
Oughly questioned this forenoon. This
made seven men retained on the panel.
The defense won what they consid-
cred an important victory when
Judge EichhOrn removed from the
ranks of Sle veniremen seven men
whom attorneys for Mayor Bell de-
clared to have been irregularly named
by order of Judge James A. Collins. In
giving his decision, Judge EichhOrn.
expressed some doubt as TO the rights
of the defense in the stand they as
sumed, but desired to act in a spirit
Of absolute fairness.
Reference also was made by counsel
for the defendant 10 the fact that the
county council which set aside a fund
of $25, 900 to defray the expenses OF
gathering evidence. procuring witness
es and for special investigators and
an associate prosecutor, contained a
majority of republican members.
Twelve men, mostly farmers, had
been tentatively passed and the pros
ecutiOn had begun its questioning of
the men when recess was taken at
noon in Judge EichhOTn's court.

ing the prospective jurors concerning
their relations with any persons under
the present indictment, reading the
names Of those indicted with the
mayor. The men also were asked as TO

EXPFCT EXPLANATION.

WASHINGTON. Sept. s.-An ex-
DidnatiOn from Germany justifying its
sinking of the liner Arabic on the
ground of military expedlency" is eX-
pectcd shortly.
Berlin advices that the submarine
responsible was not the one sunk on
Aug 21, and that the Arabic's aSsail-
ant has reached port, were received
with surprise by officials here. If they
prove accurate, it is expected that the
Arabic question will be pushed to q
conclusion without further loss Of
time.
If the Berlin intimations are borne
out and the submarine captain claims
that he believed the Arabic was try
ing 20 ram him. then a square issue Of
veracity Will be raised between his
story and the sworn affidavits Of the
survivors &c the liner which now are
on file with the state department. In
that connection II was pointed out
at the state department today that
where an issue Of this sort IS raised
the final decision rests under inter
national law with the neutral nation
whose interests have been violated.
So far as the Hesperian is con-
cerned officials believe that it presents
no questions that will bring about a
crisis. They have accepted the prom
ises made through Ambassador Won
BernstOrft in good faith and VIII wait
until information is at hand before
deciding whether this government
shall act The question of the gun
carried by the liner is d very mater
Ial factor and even though it should
turn out that an American citizen
named Wolff actually lost his life, the
facts presented would not be changed
The facts so far submitted are far
from establishing that IL was a tor
pedO that sank the liner Some naval
experts insist that the story as cabled
of the circumstances surrounding the
explosion seem to indicate that the
vessel struck a mine.
