In new proceedings against loan COM

damages against them aggregating $10,-

II lis alleged by the complainants that
the companies not only charged them
usurious interest on loans made to
them, but raised dates Of their assign

wages they allege they were also un-
able to meet their obligations and their
credit was thereby injured.
Mr.. Rodgers, who opened the CAM

court by seeking to enjoin the concerns
from collecting on assignments made to
them by the railroad companies. He
charged the rates of interest were usu-

NONE QUALITIES
FOR Jury BOX IN
M'NAMARA TRIAL
Only One Venireman Says He
Is Opposed to Capital Pun
iShment-- Davis Makes Hard
Fight for Lad.

Not single Juror had been selected
to try Allen J. Mcnamara on charge
Of criminal assault when court ad-
journed until the afternoon session Fri
day, although 16 yeniremen had been on
the stand.
Examination disclosed that SO per
cent OF the veniremen examined had
formed or expressed an opinion Of Me-
McNamara's guilt or innocence. The
state and the defense each exhausted
peremptory challenge.
Eight men said they had formed opin-
ions. Three were called to the stand
whose names or addresses were wrong
on the venire facias. Two were per-
emptorily challenged. Two were ex-
cused, one because of deafness, Only
one man in the Is was found who did
rot believe in the death penalty for
criminal assault.
This is the sum-up of the work of the
First criminal court Friday morning in
the Mcnamara case Examination of
jurors will be continued through Fri
day afternoon. In case no juror is OBJ
tanned, the case will go over until Sat
nrday. But If single juror Is secured
Friday afternoon court will be adjourned
only until Saturday morning and will
work through Saturday.
Examination of jurors was started
only after Ralph Davis, attorney for
Mcnamara, had made further, but un-
successful efforts to provoke further de-
lays in the trial of his client. Mr.. Davis
first demanded of the court that special
bailiffs be appointed to succeed Sheriff
Perry and his deputies. Davis con-
tended that Perry was an interested
party in the trial, Judge ]. Ed Richards
overruled this motion, as he had all pf

Davis then demanded the original Of

which the present panel Is drawn. Fur

fully for several minutes. then pro-
decided to challenge the entire array Of
veniremen which had been summoned.
He did this, he said, because the men
were not evenly divided as among the
city wards and the country districts.
OF SO names, he claimed 81 we're from

also, by Judge Richards, who then
called for examination of jurors to be

Question and Voting Pow

ScImltarl.
ON BOARD PRESIDENT WILSON'S
TRAIN, Sept 19.-President Wilson
took occasion in San Francisco, the
stronghold of Senator Hiram Johnson.
to seek to overcome two main sources
Of opposition to the peace treaty, name
ly, the argument OF the irish sympa-
thizers, who claim Great Britain has six
votes in proposed league or nations, to
Americas one and the easily aroused
antipathy to anything Japanese which
mas been kindled anew in California by
the alleged improperly OF the United
States In sanctioning the transfer Of
German rights In Shantung to Japan
The president realized that California
wanted to know about ShaLtung and
he gave the most detailed explanation
he has yet made on the question OF
leased territory In China.
Mr. Wilson told how Germany, max
ing pretext of the murder Of German
missioners In order to seize Klau
Chou, practically forced China In 1898
to lease territory and valuable mining
and railway rights for a period OF ID
years. Those rights would have re-
mained In Germany's hand but for the
recent war when Japan alone under
took to drive Germany from the Far
East But just as the United States
In 1898 when William Mckinley was
president, did not lift its voice in pro-
test against the enforced cessation OF
Shartunp to Germany, 80 the United
States when Theodore, Roosevelt was
prcsiuent did mol say word 10 OBJ
lection to the transfer OF Port Ar
thur from Russia to japan at the close
OF the war between those two coun-
tries. That, declared Mr.. Wilson, the
historic truth
The presidents point was that the
whole business Of taking territory II,
China began In 1898, when John Hay
was secretary Of state, OF the United
States, but America did not object so
long as the open door policy was main
tanned, so long as she was permitted to
trade on even terms in those leased
territories
Mr.. Wilson openly condemned the
system whereby Germany, Russia,
France and Japan HAD m turn obtained
Chinese territory and the plain impli-
cation Of his remarks was that Amer
lea could not very well ask Japan tc
give up her concessions In China with.

President Wilson
Nay Make Memphis
Address In Tent

The arrangements for President Will
sons address in Memphis ON the night.
of Sept, ~ are being rapidly completed
but the committee iT charge has not
yet completed its plans.
1t Is possible that arrangements will
be made to have the address In large
tent on the vacant lots opposite Forrest
park, but that Is doubtful. All corre-
spondence with Secretary Tumulty has
indicated that the president would not
speak In the open air under any COM
sideration and although request for
further definite information as to
whether tent might be used has been
asked, 1t is believed that the first plan
to have the address In the Lyric theater
will be followed.
The idea of the committee Is that
tent would accommodate several
thousand people, while not more than
1900 can find seats in the theater.
G. r. Sclecht. chairman of the en-
tertainment committee of the Cham
ber Of Commerce, Is at the head of
the committee and l.. T. McGaughran fs
yice-charman in charge of details of
the arrangements Seats op the stage
will be reserved for the newspaper men
accompanying the presidential party and
arrangements for handling their dis
patches have been placed In charge of
H. r. Durward, Of the Associated Press.
The general committee has not yet
made plans as to who will preside or
introduce the president.
