RTHER. JURY
WHEEL DELAY
LOOMS
Judges Order Names to Be
Chosen From Lists of
Qualified Voters.

Further delay in filling the jury
wheel, thus causing another postpone
ment of murder and attack trials,
looms ms the five district judges of
Bexar county have held that the names
of qualified voters whose names do
not appear on the tax assessors lists
should be placed within the wheel.
The ten county employees, working
for nearly week in double shifts, ex-
pccted 10 complete their work late
Tuesday or early Wednesday. They
have been writing the names from the
tax assessors lists exclusively.
But the new order of the judges
may further delay the filling of the
wheel. The judges held that those
filling tho wheel should write the
names of all other men known to be
qualified jurors and place them in the
wheel" as well as those whose names
appear on the tax assessors lists.
IL this order is carried out it will
mean that filling of the wheel may be
delayed several days, and it will re-
quirc about a month if the assessors
list is checked against the poll tax
list.
Jurors who have been fined $35 for
failure TO appear in the Fifty-seventh
district court after having been duly
summoned, will be given until Satur-
day to explain their failure, Judge r.

COURT RULING MAY
AFFECT CHAPMAN

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-OPl-A
decision held in some quarters as one
which might apply TO certain phases
OF the case OF Gerald Chapman. con-
victed in Connecticut of murder, was
handed down here today when the Su'
preme Court held federal prisoner
might be removed for trial on a new
indictment without notice and hear
ing.
The case was that of joseph y.
Marsino. who was removed from AT
lanta to Worcester. Mass, without
being furnished copy of his new
indictment. He brought the issue TO
the Supreme Court. but that tribunal
today affirmed the decision of the
lower courts against him.
Though the circumstances are some
what similar to those in the Chap
man case, the Department of Justice,
following a policy it has adhered TO
since. Chapman began his fight fer
freedom from a death sentence in Con-
necticut. declined today to comment.
1t was pointed out. however, that
Chapman now is making his chief con-
tention a plea that President Coolidge
had no right 10 commute his sentence
so that he could be put on trial in
Ha rtford. under the state laws, for
killing n policeman.
Chapman has contended also. how
ever, that be had no warning of his
transfer from Atlanta nor of the
states action in obtaining the commu-
tation.

VALUABLE POTTERY
CREDITED TO CHINESE
BY Universal Service.

BERKELEY, Jan. 26.-American
collectors of antique Chinese pottery
are indebted for some Of the fine
glazes to ancient Chinese alchemists
who were seeking the elixir of immor-
tai life rather than the art of ceramics,
according to 0bid S. johnson, OF Can
ton Christian College and the Onion
Theological College at Canton, who
s9iled for China today.
johnson has just completed work
for n doctors degree in the department
of Oriental languages at the Univcr-
sity OF California. a study Of Chi
nese Alchemy is the subject Of his
thesis.
Just as medieval alchemists labor
ed long and hard to find the "philoso-
piers stone" that would transform
bdser metals into gold. from the third
century before Christ, Chinese alchem-
lists toiled in search Of the elixir OF
life" johnson said.
indirectly they hit upon processes
which were used in fashioning the
pottery priced so much today by col

Just squeeze the juice of a
