OF taiesruen as during the first days
Of the trial.
This statement was made today by
Harold W Houston. ~ counsel for the
defense. who sad at the opening II
court that il would be the policy of the
defense u object - the dismissal of
talesmen who had only recently dis
covered that they were related n one
or more os the accused n the frst
few days Of the trial ta1esTnen have
been allowed 10 step aside on the
strength Of the plea that they were re-
lated to some one Of the defendants by
marriage ar far back az their grand
mothers.
Difficulty in obtaining a jury has been
attended by repeated rumors that men
would be summoned from other coun-
ties but Judge Bailey said today there
was little or no probability OF such
action being taken. Women IN West
Virginia, even though they have the
franchise, are not permitted 10 serve

No time was lost when court opened
today in clearing the way for decisive
action Seven Of the tentative iury7uen
we're promptly dismissed when il de-
veloped that they had served on petit
juries within the last two years. This
under the law exempts them from
service at this term The ruling re-
iuced the number in the box 70 q round
dozen.
The first four talesmen called were
dismissed without argument on one
plea or another. The first declared he
was opposed 10 capital punishment:
the second was a near relative OF VII
liam starr. and the others said they
were unuion miners.
BY eleven o'clock more than 20 men
had been examined and not one ac-
cepted. a little later Charles Bail, a
+ farmer, who lives near AIaJewaa. was
called. Counsel for the defense sought
TO show that he had taken an unusual
interest in the Natewan battle and
had already formed an opinion. but he
qualified IN the eyes OF the court. the
first one Of the morning.

MATERIAL CHANGES
DECIDED UPON FOR
CITY CHARTER BILL
Manager at $4,000, $1,000
Limit for Commissioners and
Election Board Retention.
OPPOSITION WAS SHOWN

An amendment to the proposed city
charter bill. that IL shall be the duty
of the commissioners to appoint a city
manager, whose salary shall not ex-
ceed $4,000 a year: another change
that the members of the commission
shall not be paid more than $4,000
year, and the mayor not more than
$500; an amendment to retain the
present Department of Elections. We're
adopted at a joint meeting of the
Citizens Charter Committee and the
Bipartisan Committee last night in
the Hotel DUPONT. An amendment to
have preferential primary TO reduce
the number of candidates to twice the
number to be elected at the succeeding
election was voted down.
The charter will now revert back to
the Bipartisan Committee. whose sub
committee will insert the changes
adopted last night. after which the pro-
posed charter draft will be presented to
the General Assembly by the BIZ
partisan Committee.
William p White of the Bipartisan
Committee announced that he had
presented four proposed changes TO
the Bipartisan Committee, but that
onil one of these had been adopted by
providing for n city manager. He asked
permission to introduce his proposed
changes before the Citizens Committee.
The request was not opposed.
His first motion was that the com
mission shall be compelled to select a
city manager at a salary not 10 exceed
SIS 900 per annum." Joseph p. Long
Of the Central Labor Union voiced the
first objection TO this feature. saying
that the city charter. he thought, had
a good chance 10 go through without
this added feature. He said il would
place too much autocratic power in
the hands of one man, and that nobody
would ever be able to get 10 him.

that the salaries Of the commissioners
would remain as originally planned
He said he thought that a large amount
Of the administrative work would fal
on the city manager and for that rea'
son the salary of the commissioner
should be more or less nominal.

PASSION
Wonderful Spectacle OF Dramatic
VIqor.
PASSION

Passion" the first picture Of any
note imported from foreign parts since
the war. treats history as 1t would
have been written by the scenario
writers. emphasizing the romantic ele-
ments rather than those that H. G..
Wells would browse among. However,
there are stirring scenes in the out
break Of the Reign of Terror, the at
tacks iupon the homes Of aristocrats
and the storming Of the Bastile. This
picture Is the best ce1luloid symphony
Of the period so far presented-almost-
vivid enough to bring Leslie Carter
back to the stage in her old part.
There are poignant scenes; once when
the lover, who has been saved by Du
Barry from death and given a COM
mission in the royal guards, is forced
to condemn her to the guillotine by
his love of the people, and again when
Du Barry herself. poised before the
blood mad popuiace on the brink of
eternity, begs for one more moment of
life.--NetO York Herald, Monday, De-
cember 13, 1920.

BEAUTIFUL NEW STAR
PoIa Negri Wins Admiration OF
America.
10 FF III
NEW YORK CITY

Passion" made a big success
abroad, and unless we are much mis-
taken it will make & big hit with the
American public.
The brillance of "Passion" is not
in superficial artistry-that is. the
adroit handling OF lights, the tricks OF
acting, or unusual camera work. It
lies in the directors conception Of the
story. and the suave and beautiful act
ing. OF the cast. Pola Negri, who plays
the role of Du Barry, is an actress of
unusual appeal. The acting Of the
other players, particularly the actors
seen as Choiseul and the king, Is bril-
liant.
Passion" ought to be studied by
American directors and actors. AS for
the motion picture public. it has a treat
in store for it.--The Morning pele-
