JUDGE RULES OUT THE EXCUSE
OF "BUSINESS" IN-FRIALS
Men will not in future be able to
escape jury service in Judge Kick
ham ScanIan's court by giving the
excuse that their business would suf-
fer if they had to do their duty by
the state. Judge Seaman made this
plain today when he issued call for
100 additional Veniremen for the
labor case now before him.
81 have had enough of the poster
ing of business men who want to es-
cape their duty in the jury box"
Judge Seaman said. 81 will not ex-
cuse a man from duty simply because
he is a business man and busy"
Judge Seaman also took a fall out
Of Att'ys DanI Cruise and ex-Judge
John Owens, attorneys for the labor
men, for their challenging veniremen
on the ground that newspaper stories
which they read were biased.
Of the first hundred veniremen
summoned only three prospective
jurors were secured. The new list
contains the names of many prom
inent business men, among them,
Fred M. Pfaelzer, millionaire packer;
Walter B. BeVan, millionaire board of
trade member, and Honore Palmer,
big local real estate man and owner
of Mexican mines.
Unless these men can find better
excuse than business" they will have
to do jury duty the same as clerks

For years leather has been going up in price. To meet this condition, there is a new invention. in shoes, called Knu-Shus, which are cheaper than leather shoes, and wear much longer

 Gomez Awaiting Orders.
 General Gomez was at Agua Prieta, where he said he was waiting orders to join in the pursuit of Villa, but some anxiety had been aroused here by the despatch a few days ago of a force in the direction of the American line of communication. The search for that and other forces will be contin- ued
 Just what Drecautinary steps have been taken by Gen. Funston to guard the line and meet any eventuality were not revealed. He received dur ing the day no new instructions from the war department. It was admitted here that he has now almost full authority to use his own judgment in meeting any situa- tion, even to sending into Mexico all of the 5000 troops along the border, but the incident at Parra1 has not caused him to altar his opinion that it would be unwise to draw upon that froce for support of the punitive ex- petition, leaving unguarded portions of the long international boundary line.
 Short of 8 war measure, Gen. Fun ston would hesitate to use the rail- roads between Chihuahua and the border without authority from Wash ington, and no such authority has l been given him, it was stated yester- ] day at headquarters.

San Antonio, Tex, April 15-The Americans on whom the Mexicans at ParraI fired were unarmed, according to a version of the incident current in Chihuahua and transmitted to General Funston today.
 According to this story, 40 of the troopers entered Parral, presumably to purchase supplies, and were fired upon. Two were killed and the re- mainder retreated to the main body of troops encamped outside the city.
 The attacking force pursued them and were met by a fire from the Americans, who, using a machine gun, killed 40 Mexicans.
 According to this story, the attack ing party comprised Carranza soldiers and civilians.
 The Mexicans made a, brief stand but soon retreated within the town. The American troops were subjected again to fire as they passed along a road leading past the outskirts of the town. Whether or not this fire was returned was not stated.
 Report Unconfirmed. The report of the Parra1 incident was sent by Consul Letcher from Chi huahua to General Bell at Fl Paso, who forwarded it to General Funston. Full allowance was given by depart
 
 qualifying words 'tunconfirmed yer
 sion that was current in Chihuahua, but there was manifested a disposi- l ton to credit the report.
 Many of the officers at headquarters
 here regarded the story of the affair as more probable than some of the
 versions which have come out of 1 Mexico. It was pointed out that in
 previous cases soldiers had entered l towns for the purposes of buying SUD- | plies and had been received in a | friendly manner by the residents and | that if they had gone into Parral for
 that purpose it was probable that they | went unarned.
