In the capacity or ntlielal reporter.
Koy McClalleu was placed on trial
this morning on the charge of tnu r
der la the second degree, a crime
punishable by I j r- imprisonment.
'I'll' Indictment embodying tilt' charge
grew out of tht tragedy in Hnschurg
on tin' i::ih ol last March, of winch
the victim was Hen A. .Mahan, a local
plumber. Sell-defense from a 111:1:1
alleged lo.huve been maddened by
jealousy over uiiiviiuitted love lor a
woman who prclerrcd McClalii lis

occupy the remainder of tile wck,

Into next week. The selection of t In
jury required ull or today s time up
till 3 o'clock this artemoon, whin
Judge Coke declared a recess of two
hours to enable the sheriff to sum
nion a special venire of 2. men. I'p
till that hour eleven jurors, out of
22 examined, hud been passed, and
one, J. J. Glllam, was excused on the
first peremptory exercised by the de
fense. Four Jurors examined this
afternoon were C. I,. Hamilton and
.1. K. Medley, of Oakland; Uilgai'

of C.lendale. All four are Included

exhausted anil Jmlgo Coke dhi'Cli-d
the sheriff to immediately summon a
special ealre ol 24 men. When the
noon hour adjournment was taken,
ten of tho 2 talesmen called to the
jury box had been excused, eight bad
beta temporarily passed and three
were slill lo be examined by the at
torneys. The Jurors retained we-e
not allowed to separate upon going
to lunch and the li.iiliil in charge of
them was instructed lo see that no
newspapers reached their bands.
The eight jurors passed this morn
ing w-re S. I). F.valis, of Coles Val
ley; A. tl. Clark, of (ileiidale; J. II.
Marsleis. ol Fluurnoy Valley; L. S.
Coon, ol llll lard; II. .1. Hovingdon. or
Oakland; Koy Griggs, or Comstock;
T. C. Johns, of Galesvllle. and J. .1.
Gillum, ol South IP el Creek, east or
lioseburg. It is quite probable, how
ever, that the defense will exercise
pereniptories on at least three of
them. Hovingdon. C.illuni and Johns.
The two first named were challenged
liv Attorney Caldwell, but Judge Coke
ruled that they were iiualilled to sit
on the case. Hovingdon said he bad
no opinion as to the guilt or Inno
cence of McClalleu, but that he had
a "sympathy." He declared daily
that he did not want to serve on the
jury, because be had an antipathy lo
such duty on criminal cases.
Replying to a iiuesilun put by Card
well. Mr. Hovingdon asserted that be
would not agree to compromise on u
verdict of manslaughter if he thought
McClalleu was altogether ilinocenl of
anv crime. Similar replies to me
same question were made by (iilliain
and Johns. It is practically certain
that the defense will excuse Johns
when the proper time conies, though
he was not challenged. One or
lohns' horses was chased. U is said,
for manv miles In the vicinity ot
Calesvllle some time ago by an auto
mobile in which McClalleu was riding.
The juror said he held no grudge
eg linsi the defendant because of tint
occurrence, but the attorneys mas
hold a different Idea. The state Is.
expected lo excuse Mr. F.vuns on the
juror's adinii-siiin that his long ac
quaintance aim u usn.e
McClalleu might bias his mind in the
defendant's favor.
The ten jurors excused by the court
were challenged by the defense be
cause thev admitted having formed
opinions on the, case from what they
had read in the newspapers or nail
learned from general discussion of i.io

' WASHINGTON. May 2:1 Charges
that the American newspaper pub
lishers are compelled to pay higher
prices for their news print paper
because the 'uternatioiial Paper Com
pany Is In practical control of. the
industry in this country, were made
today at tiie Canadian reciprocity
hearing before the Senate llnance
committee by John Norrls, represent
ing the American Newspaper Pub
lishers' Association.
The paper makers. Norrls said,
have made obvious efforts to restrict
the production and to starve the
prim pa per market In order to main
tain prices at an agreed figure, have
sold puller cheaper abroad than III
this country nnd have arrayed them
selves against open prices and against
public quotations.
Norris accused the International
Paper Company of selling paper
ubroail cheaper than here, with hav
ing launched a glgnnttc Wood-land
speculation, with having lutlated capi
talization of at least lo.iioo.ono,
and with keeping down production
by malutalnlliK the capacity ot only

"Yet the International Paper
Company," he said, "is asking Con

Mr. Cannon said the general busi
ness conditions, seemingly quiet for
months, have given away to a more
wholesome siluiillon, for niorchants'
stocks nre light and there seems little
tendency lo lake on large speculative
