a further extension OF the cooperative
Shipment of live stock, which as con-
Quoted In the territory Immediately con-
tisuous to Memphis has attracted wide
spread attention, was held Monday at
the Chamber Of Commerce
E. ]. Trosker, of Chicago, presided
and the meeting was attended by 10 or
IL representatives of state departments
OF the college extension divisions Of
their states.

vantageous to form a national organiza-
tfon OF cooperative shippers and plans
will be taken to that end a. once as a
result Of the Memphis meeting. Through
national organiza am the 81 ecial prob
lens of each section may be discussed
and a system of cooperation can be
worked out for the sections and states

gurated by the alert county agents IL
this section have been so successful that
he believes similar plans viii eventually
be adopted by the small farmers in ev-
cry state which raises any considerable

adopted for the sale of live stock, sale
Mr.. Trosker, has done more to star
the building up of the raising of live

>M'NAMARA CASE
Effort BY Counsel To Shorten
Effort To Secure Jury Only
Costs Time-ChaIIenges Go
Rapidly.

An effort by attorneys for the state,
to shorten jury examination in the
Allen J. Mcnamara trial Monday morn
ing resulted in the loss of about one
hour's time, and not much else. Not
a juror was obtained during the en-
tire mornings examination Of venlre-
men.
The state directed the attention of
the court to statute, passed by the
1909 legislature, in which the Judge of
the court was left as arbter in cases
where opinions OF veniremen were con-
cerned This is the point that has
proved the big stumbling block to OBJ
tanning jury in the Mcnamara trial.
Fully 75 per cent OF the venlremen
have been challenger for cause, on ac-
count of having fixed opinion of the
guilt or innocence Of the defendant.
r. g. Brown. attorney aiding the
state in prosecution. contended that
the human mind was so constructed
that the reading of newspaper ar
ticle was bound to leave an impress
sion. UNLESS you get men who are
ignoramuses or untruthful, you'll never
get jury in Shelby county," Mr..
Brown warned Judge j, Ed Richards
Ralph Davis, attorney for Mcnamara,
smiled sardonically while Mr.. Brown
argued. Then he stated that the mere
reading OF a newspaper account of a
crime would not disqualify man, even
though that man had an opinion. But,
Davis contended, where witnesses had
been interviewed, and the statements
Of those witnesses published, 1t did go
toward affecting the opinion and the
qualification OF venireman who read
them
