Special to the Log Cabin Democrat
 Little Rock, March l1.-Governor Hays today signed and approved the Posey bill, providing for the inspec- ton of convents and other institu- tions, which was delivered to him Wednesday morning.
 The bill was one of the most bitter ly-contested measures adopted by the legislature, the Catholic denomina- tion being especially opposed to it, as it was reorganized as being di- rected at the Catholic institutions. Strong pressure was brought upon the governor to veto the bill and equall ystrong representations were made to have him approve it.

STATES EVIDENCE
 BEING INTRODUCED CROWD ATTENDS TRIAL
EXPECTED THAT CASE WILL BE GIVEN TO JURY SOME
 TIME TOMORROW.

After 91 out of more than 125 req ular and special veniremen had been examined, 12 jurymen who will de- eide what punishment shall be meted out to Lee Blount for the murder of Oscar l.. Honea were selected at II o'clock this morning. After the jury had been completed court adjourned until 1:30 o'clock this afternoon, at which time the trial was begun.
 The jury follows:
 H. B. Bush, Palarm township.
 w. D. Lybarger, Hardin township.
 w. c. Lyons, Cadron township.
 F. P. Nelson, Pine Mountain town ship.
 Henry Gentry, Cadron township.
 w. G. Goode, Harve township.
 William Lewis, Palarm township.
 J. T. Belote, Hardin township.
 G. H. Willis, Hardin township.
 J. W Cupit, Pierce Creek township. , c. H. Parker, Cypress township.
 Sam Landers, Palarm township.
 Only three jurors, H. B. Bush, w. D. I.ybarger and w. c. Lyons were accepted from the regular panel of 21 who served at the January term of court After the regular panel had been exhausted Circuit Judge T. c. Trimble instructed Sheriff w. w. Bishop to summon 75 veniremen, and the sheriff and his deputies spent the greater part of last night travelling over the county summoning citizens. A total of about 100 men were sum- moned and of these 67 were examined
 Prosecuting Attorney J. B. Read stated that the state would complete it's testimony by the adjournment of court this afternoon. The testimony on behalf of the defense will probably be completed tomorrow morning. The instructions of the court and the ar guments will follow, and it will prob ably be late tomorrow afternoon be- fore the case goes to the jury.
 Although Blount's attorneys made no motion for a continuance after the court had overruled their motion for change of venue, the defense an nounced this morning that two of their witnesses, R. A. Tippen and wife, who live on the Cribbs farm on the Arkansas river, were sick, and they would not agree to go to trial unless the attendance of these wit nesses could be procured. Sheriff w. w. Bishop sent deputy in an auto mobile after the witnesses and they are expected to reach Conway this afternoon. If it was found impossible for them to come to the city, it was stated as possibility that the court and jury might go to the Tippen house to hear their testimony. When court reconvened at 1:30 defense continued to urge that they would not consent to begin the trial unless Tippen and his wife were pro- cured as witnesses. At ? o'clock word was received from the Little farm that Deputy c. C. Martin had not passed that point on his return from the Cribbs place. The court then or dered that recess of 30 minutes be taken.
 Every available inch of space in the courtroom was occupied this af- ternoon, the crowd being one of the largest ever present at trial in this county. Seated in the courtroom were the aged parents of Oscar l.. Honea and his widow and children. Blount's wife and child were seated at his side.

Their EXTENSIVE PRIVILEGES.
Chinese Feel That Granting OF De-

Pekin.-Certain political and terri.

upon China following the Japanese oc.
cupat1on of Kiao-Chow have become
known in Pekin, and their extent Ii
dlsquieting to Chinese officials.
These demands, twenty-one In num-
Der, were communicated to the Chi.
nese government January 20 by the
Japanese minister here. They include,
first, that China turn over to Japan
all existing German and Austrian
concessions; second, that China pledge
herself not to give concessions in the
future to any country except Japan;
third, permission to build special
territorial railroad; and fourth, min.
ing privileges in Shantung and Kukien
provinces, in Canchuria, in eastern
Mongolia and in the Yang Use valley.
1t is felt in Pekin that If these de.
mands were granted the result would
be tantamount to turning over to
Japan all the regions above named as
spheres OF influence, to the detriment
OF the treaty rights of other nations.
The Pekin government has not re-
piled to the Japanese note.
