WHITES ON TRIAL
FOR KILLING negro
Trio Re Indicted After Trial
Opens at Little Rock for
Murder Of "Voodoo."

Little Rock, Feb. 17.-After 50
Veniremen had been examined to get
sufficient number to serve on a
jury to try w. r. "Buck' Fisher
Ashley Ward and Andrew Holmes,
white men, for the murder OF August
Medley, aged negro "hoodoo doctor"
court adjourned to allow the grand
jury to re-indict the three accused.
The twelve men selected as jurors
will be used to try the case on the
new, Indictment, which was returned
this afternoon. The re-indictment
proceedings were taken as means OF
guarding the interests Of the
state, as a result Of recent decision
of the supreme court, declaring that
when an indictment for murder was
returned it is necessary to specify
the motive of the crime. The state
was preparing to introduce testi-
mony to prove that the motive of the
Medley murder was robbery, and the
defense objected on the ground that
no motive was specified in the true
bill.
The three men were arrested last
December, following the murder of
Neeiey, Who lived near Wrightville. 1t
is alleged they killed the negro for
his money.

Washington, Feb. 17-'After a meet
inc of the senate committee on
foreign relations today, to discuss the
foreign complications with which the
United States is confronted, Demo-
cratic member Of the committee said
eff any naval vessel OF Germany
should torpedo an American ship and
kill Americans on bdard, l would
advocate the seizure of every Ger

] believe such reprisal would be fully
justified"
The discussion at the meeting Of
the foreign relations committee was
informal, there being only six MEM
bers of the committee present. The
Hit: heck bill to prohibit the ex-
port of munitions of war was the
only subject up for consideration
But, of course, members OF the
committee had learned from the state
department the tenor Of Sir Edward
Grey's reply to the United States.
The suggestion which Sir Edward
made in his concluding paragraph
that the announced intention of Ger
many to sink merchant vessels and
their cargoes without verification OF
their nationality and without provls-
ion for the safety of non-combatant
crews would force Great Britain to
reprisal, was considered as making a
situation of the utmost seriousness
for the United States.

No city in the western half of the
United States made as great per
cent of gain in population during the
decade from 1900 to 1910 as Los
Angeles, California, and only Detroit
in the east approximated it. The
growth of Los Angeles since then has
maintained the ratio established in
the ten years that preceded 1915 and
its people are looking forward to the
time when it will be the metropolis
its chamber of commerce is "a million

to make good on that proposition is
question upon which there is con-
siderable skepticism in California. as
well as in other states of the Union.
If it does it is possible that
it may surpass st. Louis, Balti-
more and Boston and take rank
as the fourth city in the country.
Few cities anywhere have a more
up-to-date appearance than Los Ange'
les and in none is the visitor more
strongly impressed with the spirit of
progressiveness and civic pride that
prevails among its citizenship. In its
business section it stimulates in looks
and in the feverish rush OF traffic the
commercial portion oa Chicago. in

lection of its genial climate and Diff
fering surroundings he might easily
imagine himself in the din and roar
of the downtown section of the city

streets into deep canons of human
activity, and along them hurry throngs
of men and women at all hours of
the day and until late at night in

American city In its aspects in its
sympathies and in the composition of
its population. although there are
