HAUSER FACES JURY
ON MURDER CHARGE
Jury is Being Selected for Trial for
Killing w. H. Smith, Cashier

FOUR LAWYERS DEFEND HIM

The close of the first day of the

selecting jury advanced to stage
where the jury box was filled with
men who had passed the challenges
for cause of both state and defense
and four peremptory challenges out
of total of twenty-five allowed by
law, had been exercised.
OF the peremptory challenges
three we're exercised by attorneys for
the defens and on by the state. The
stat is allowed twelve "peremp-
tories by law and the prosecution
will have ten.
Attorneys anticipated that the selection
of a jury would be finished during this

this afternoon.

suit, fresh from a shave and haircut,

District Judge English's court room to
answer the charge of first degree murder

LUSITANIA CASE

Germany Will Pay Indemnity for

BERNsToRFF CALLS ON LANSING

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10-Count
Won Bernstorff, the German ambas-
sador. and Secretary Lansing had
another conference in tho Lusitania
negotiations today, which both
agreed should be described as confi-
Dental.
The ambassador expects to have
only one more conference with the
secretary and that inside of week
This fact is taken to mean that only
one more exchange between Wash
ington and Berlin Is necessary be-
fore the long controversy is ended.
American officials reflected the view
that satisfactory settlement is in sight
which viii include indemnities for tho
lis American lives lost and satisfactory
expression of regret or disavowal.
IL is known that the principal point
which has been delaying settlement is the
phraseology. Germany has contended
that the best disavowal It could offer was
It's orders to submarine commanders not
to repeat such an incident and that II
could not disavow the action, although II
regretted the loss of so many Americans,
The United States has been contending
that the disavowal should be expressed In
some way
1t was stated authoritatively today that
the next step os the United States will be
to ask all allies of Germany to agree
that no vessels carrying Americans be
attacked until passengers and crew have
been placed in safety.
The impression grows among admins
tration officials that the nationality of
the submarine or mine which sank the
Persia never will be disclosed.
