lbs Ask Far East Action Be DELAYED
Jury
May Be Chosen
Before Night

San Francisco, Nov. 17.-The
plodding routine of jury selection
found eleven talesmen temporarily
selected at the noon recess today
in the manslaughter trial of Pos
coe c. (Fatty) Arbuckle, and a
twelfth, Arthur H. Crane, man
ufacturer, under examination.
The mornings examination re-
duced the defenses peremptory
challenges from eight to five. The
prosecution exercised no chal-
lenges in the morning session and
had two remaining at the noon
recess.
There was strong possibility
that the original list of sixty-six
talesmen would not be exhausted
before the jury is finally selected.
Defense Doubtful.
The defense changed today its
prediction that the final jury
would be selected by tonight. Its
guess now is that such selection
will be made by tomorrow night
and that testimony taking will be-
gin Monday. 1t reserved the pos
sibility, however, that attempts
to expedite the questioning may
result in an earlier jury selection.
District Attorney Brady said at
noon that he did not know who
would make the opening state
ment for the prosecution. I'VE
must wait until after the jury is
chosen" he said.
The court room was crowded to-
day, presumably because it had
been announced that the jury may
be finally selected before adjourn
ment today. But the defense had
eight and the prosecution two per-
emptory challenges left when the
court session began.
Arbuckle Amused.
Arbuckle seemed more alert
and hopeful today than on any
day since the trial began. He was
amused by defense announce
ment before court pegan, that two
of the doors in his former
rooms at the Hotel st. Francis are
to be brought into court by the
prosecution for a finger print ex-
1t was in these rooms
that Miss Virginia Rape is al
legged to have sustained the fatal
injuries out of which the man
slaughter charge grew. The prose-
cution had nothing to say about
the doors.
Mrs. O'Dean was passed tempo
rarily. The defense waived itsl
turn to challenge The prosecu-
ton exercised it's fourth peremp-
tory challenge on Miss L. F. San
don. Mrs. Louis q. Witterburn
was called in her place.

Salem School Princi-
pal Says Todd Told
Him to Talk Careful
ly To u. S. Agent

Portland, Or, Nov. 17.-Dam-
aging testimony against John w
Todd was given this morning on
the federal witness stand by E. A
Miller, Salem school principal
The same day the first govern
ment agent arrived in Salem to in
vestigate the Byron Todd land
fraud case, Todd called Miller on
the telephone and warned him to
be careful what he said to the
agent, Miller told the jury.s After
the exposure of Byron by The Cap
ital Journal, and after Todd had
visited Byron at McNeil's island
federal prison, Miller said he held
conversation with Todd in which
Todd reiterated his former state
ments that Byron was an upright
man and merely the victim of the
timber interests.
you're not dealing with a
crook" Todd was quoted as stat
ing to Miller while defending
Byron.
Winslow on Stand.
w. C. Winslow, Salem attorney,
was on the witness stand prac-
tically all morning. Winslow stat
ed that Todd assured him that
Byron was honest, and told him
not to worry about Byron, as he
had never had any trouble with
the government, had never been
indicted and was merely in tech
nical legal trouble because the
timber interests were after him.
Winslow said Todd offered to re-
turn his $500 but he refused to ac-
cept it, until Todd had paid back
every school teacner victim, for
fear of public criticism.
"Tll admit that I was somewhat
of a fool" Winslow said when
asked why he was not shrewd
enough to see through Byron's
scheme. He added that but for
his faith in Todd he never would
have given Byron one cent of his
money because he knew that
"three-fourths of the timber loca-
tors are crooks"
F. S. Barton, Salem electrician,
first heard Of the scheme from
Todd in the Methodist church on
a Sunday, he said, while the choir
was waiting in the ante-room toI
sing. Barton and his wife each
took out a contract. Barton also
insisted that Todd told him he
made $100 out of each of the con-
tracts.
Witnesses Not Bitter.
John w. Todd, former Salem
school superintendent, is in some
cases profiting as much as the
from the testimony
given in the federal court here
by government wit
nesses. With the exception of
Miss Esther Wheeler, Todd's for
mer secretary, none of the wit
nesses on the stand all day ap-
peared to be bitter toward the de-
fendant.
Charles Robson of Astoria, one
Of Fodd's attorneys, kept the
court room in laughter during the
cross examination of E. E. Berg
nan, teacher friend of Todds. !

EASING OF TENSION
 IN THE SILESIAN CRISIS

London, May Is (By the A. P).-The intervention of the Whitsun holiday brought slight easing of the tension in the Silesian crisis. No new development was reported today, and apparently noth- ing further has been decided upon with reference to the meeting of the supreme council, which probably will not be held before next week.
 The view held in London is that the delay will serve useful purpose in allay- ing passion on both sides and providing more favorable atmosphere for calm discussion when the council meets. More over, it is believed that the French pre- mier, NJ. Briand, was not averse to seizing the opportunity afforded by Mir Lloyd Georges speech to assume a strong patri- otic attitude, which would assure him 3 big vote of confidence that otherwise would be somewhat doubtful. since the French press had attributed to the diplo- macy of the British prime minister defeat of the French plans for immediate occu- patton of the Ru1T.
 Having secured a vote of confidence. il is thought that Premier Briand may en- ter the conference better equipped for a compromise settlement.
 Official communications were made to- day throuhg the Polish legation at Londor voicing Poland's determination to respect l the provisions of the Versailles treaty and these assurances. combined with the attitude of the German government anC | press in repIdia ting any attempt to takt
 military action in Silesia, are regarded a. 1 having greatly eased the situation. l Lord Hardinge, ambassador to France l has been in London during the week aut ! consulting with Earl Curzon. the foreigl l secretary, and A. J. Balfour. lord presi

 of the terms of tre allied ultimatun What, in the opinion of the ambassador held out hope to Germany was that ful fllment would mean withdrawal of tn allied troops from Ruhrort and Duessel dorf and the resembling of the other pen alties.
 The excitement caused in Paris seem to have been due to the idea that Nil

 of troops by Germany to Upper SilesiS

 Lengthy addresses by Senators Pome- rene, democrat.

 The demands for reduction of arma- : ment finally caused Senator Poindexter, republican Washington, in charge of the bill to state that no information had been submitted to show any extrava- gance in the proposed naval purchases.
 Senator Pomerene replied that when "officers with gold lace whispered 'Yap' members of the naval committee had hysters and voted for large appropria- tons

sCRETAkY HUGHES ANSWERS
 INQUIRY FROM THE SENATE

Washington May 1s.-It is the policy of the American government in every part of the world to inquire and make representations to foreign governments wherever it appears that monopofistic petroleum concession might be granted to the possible detriment of American citi- zens" according to a state department report signed by Secretary Hughes and transmitted to the senate today in an- swer to d resolution passed by the sen ate a year ago.
 Mir Hughes included in the report cop ies of communica tions exchanged be- tween the United States and the Neither lands government in reference to the Djambi oil fields of the Dutch East h. dies, and sumparies of state department actions taken in Mexico.
 The report supplemented and brought up to date informa tion given the sen ate last year upon the world oil situa- tion, and the diplomatic steps taken by the United States in endeavoring tC maintain rights of Americans to particI pate in the exploitation of foreign oi fields
 In all diplomatic communications, the stat ement said, it has been emphasized that foreign nationals and corporation: controlled by foreign nationals have .en 1 joyed privileges in the exploitation O l American oil fields equal to those ex tended to citizens of the United States.
 In the British empire during the yea however, the report said, the operation of the Anglo Persian Oil Company, II which the British government owns two thirds of the ordinary shares, hay steadily increased. In British dominion and French possessions further step were said to be tending to establish own ership of oil developments and potentia fields in the nationals of the countr, concerned.
 In the Djambi matter, the statemen said, it was hoped that the concession bill recently passed might be mQdifie to let Americans participate, but unde present conditions, it was certain tha control of the development would go t the Bataarsche Petroleum Company an the Shell Transport and Trading Com pany.
 Recent degrees promulgated in Mexic
 were given in the report together with
