the deepest secrecy today. but the threat
1t COMMUNICATIVE threat Of q definite

The sudden meeting between the two

suit Of the failure of the two countries

cision at the meeting of the Prepara-

Geneva, which might have pointed to a

and subsequent reduction Of the vast
expenditures which the anti-French

The coming arrival In Italy of Tewhk

Eleven Tentatively Chosen as

Peremptory Challenges.
200 MORE VENIREMEN
CALLED FOR TOMORROW
Reluctance Of Nearly Dozen Won
On to Remain Away From Home
Overnight Delays Trial.

After 100 prospective talesmen had
been questioned in an unsuccessful eff
fort to secure jury, the F. H. Smith
Co. conspiracy case now on trial in the
District Supreme Court, Justice VIII
liam Hitz adjourned court until to-
morrow morning, when a new panel of
200 potential jurors will be brought into
court. When court adjourned there
were II tentative jurors sitting In the
box.
Unusual difnculty has been expert
enced in this case, which involves the
trial on an indictment charging G..
Bryan Pitts, c. Ebert Anadale and
John H. Edwards, jr., former Smith Co.
officers, with a conspiracy to embezzle
approximately $5,000,000 of the COM
panyIs funds and to destroy allegedly
discriminating records.
Women Ask TO BE Excused.
After it had been announced that
the Jury would be locked up during the
trial, nearly a dozen women, qualified
in other respects, asked to be excused
because they were unwilling to be away
from their children over night.
Picking of the jury was also deferred
by the fact that four out of five men
questioned had already formed opinions
as to the guilt or innocence Of the de-
tense.
When court adjourned, at ais o'clock
this afternoon, the Government had ex-
hausted all 10 Of its peremptory chal-
lenges, and the defense had used nine
of theirs. This means that only one
of the II tentative jurors now sitting
can be discharged without cause to-
morrow. It is possible, however, that
others may be excused by the court
upon a showing of prejudice for or
against the defendant.
The IL jurors tentatively accepted
were Charles w. Stanford, A. Gnash,
Philip A. Simpson, Edwin Wenttang
William L. Bishop, Harvey v. Avery,
Walter r. Dickie, B. Leroy Vowel, Miss
Mildred Robertson, Walter s. Jackson
and Mrs. Ethel Z. Lewis.

ROME, Italy, November 25.-Observ-
ers were confident today that yester-
days conference between Minister Dino
Grandi and Maxim Litvinov Soviet
envoy, was a step in framing the second
part of the important Italian-Russiar
trade treaty signed last August.
That treaty did not specify what Italy
was to buy from the Soviets. Under its
terms Russia agrees to buy $1o,oo0,00o
Of Italian manufactured goods during
1890 and 1881. A rs per cent govern
ment credit over five years is assured
to the sellers, leaving as gamble a 20
per cent margin OF profit.
Buys Russian Oil.
When the treaty was under discussion
last year, it became known that an
American oil firm was dickering to sup
ply oil and gasoline to Italy. These ne
ROTATIONS we're broken of by the 1tal-
ian government, which informed the
Americans that Italy would buy her oil
from Russia.
AT the same time permission was
given "Petrolia," the Russian oil con-
cessionaires here, to build two refining

that the Russian organization was
formed as a distributing organization 10
flood this part of Europe with cheap
Soviet oils.
Another phase of the situation is that
italy needs supplies Of cheap lumber,
coal and ore, all of which Russia has
In plenty, and there is pressing need
for building up italian industry to offset
the country's tremendous military ex-
penses.
Unafraid of Dumping"
italians find themselves in such
position as to be unafraid of Russian
dumping" because all Russia's prod
ucts are badly needed in Italy, and the
American tariff wall cuts OF 1taly's most
important market.
Since the present treaty has an ex-
tension clause providing for its renewal
over two one-year periods on an IN
creasing scale of $4,000, 900 and $25,-
OOO, GOO in Russian purchases here, 1t Is
regarded as likely that Italy Is now
ready to specify just what Russian prod
