TALESMAN LAUGHS WHEN QUESTIONED Challenge Based on "Infirm ity" Resisted by Mc Namara Lawyers. NUMBER NOT INCREASED Ten Veniremen Ont of Call of 40 Are Secured fur KxaniJ nation and Completion of ' Jury la Months Away. $:s . ' ',. 'si- , i't V V"a-JsT -?sJ LOS ANGELES, Nov. 1. With It months to a day elapsed since St per sons lost tbelr Uvea In an explosion and a fire which wrecked the Los An geles Times, hardly the beginning of a Jury had been obtained tonight In the trial of James B. McNamara. Counsel for the state estimated that two months hence a Jury may have been obtained. Today's results In that direction were exactly nothing at all. so far as secur ing additional talesmen accepted for cause wa3 concerned. At the beginning of the session. Ulstrict Attorney Fred ericks withdrew opposition to a chal lenge by the defense against one tales men; the examination of another, who. It Is nearly certain, will not reach the Jury, occupied most of the day. and two others were released Just before clone of court, one by consent of op posing counsel and one because of op position to the death penalty. The nine talesmen who had been acceDted as to i cause when court opened had not in- ! creased their number at the close of the session. Of these, perhaps, two or three will be on tha Jury aa It la sworn. Tea More Veniremen Secured. Ten veniremen were secured for ex amination out of a new venire the third thus far of 40 men, summoned yesterday. One of these, Jesse R. Townsend. waa the man excused be cause of hla opposition to capital punishment. Ben F. Groves, a real estate dealer, told of having heard tha Times ex plosion and seen from the windows of his residence the burning of the build ing. He said that he knew General Harrison Gray Otis, proprietor of tha Times: Harry Chandler. General Otis' son-in-law, and several oher men In terested tn tho case. While he told how the sound of the explosion, muffled and blanketed by fog. came to his ears In the middle of the night. Attorney Le rompte Psvls, for the defense, con ferred with District Attorney Fred ericks, and soon afterward Attorney Clarence 8. Darrow. the defense'a chief of counsel suggested to the court that the man be excused. Ts that a challenge?" demanded As sistant District Attorney Horton. "It la not." said Darrow. "I'm not going to challenge this man." After a brief colloquy tha state agreed to release Groves. TaJearaaa I-augha oa ataad. In the case of Lor en so Romans, a real estate dealer who admitted having written many anonymous letters to William MulBolland. head of the Mayor's commission which declared the Times explosion to have been caused by dynamite, because of disapproval of Mulholland's services as a city offi cial, a challenge waa levelled by tha state under statutory provision pro viding against Incapacity for any sort of mental or bodily Infirmity. It waa resisted by the defense, which an nounced that It would bring wltnesse Into court tomorrow and oppose It. Romans laughed much of the time of his examination and spectators laughed with him until bailiffs had to rap for order. He aald ha believed a fund appropriated by tha city to In vestigate the Times disaster waa a "corruption fund." Dentist Xet Exrasti. In the course of Judge Bordwell'f preliminary examination of veniremen thla morning It was developed that the law takes no cognisance of toothaches. Jesse R. Townsend, a Pasadena dentist, failed to obtain exemption be- j causa, while tbe penal code provides j that physicians rr.ay be excused, no mention la maie OI aeniisia. aosepa a. Blick. an architect, with seven houses under construction, waa excused, how ever. Lout A. Wllhelro. father of alx girls and six boys and clerk of the School Board of Hyde Park, aald the teach ers there might not be paid If he were not there to sign their warrants. This was taken under consideration. "How old are you 7" the court asked B. C. Robertson, an elderly man. "No." aald Robertson. "I asked how old you were." shouted tbe court. . "I can't hear." said Robertson. "You're excused," said the Judge. In an ordinary tone, and Robertaon left promptly, having caught the Judge's meaning with aeemlng ease. Barrlsaaa Abaeat at Opealag. Job Harrlman. one of the attorneys for thevdefense. who yesterday wss nominated for Mayor on the Socialist ticket, waa not In court at Its opening, but this waa not unusual, as In the daya of tbe election activity he frequently has been absent. District Attorney Fredericks an nounced that after examining the record ha had no objection to the -haiiena-e of the defense arainat Tales man T. E. Preston and Preston wss j xrused br the court. Preston not , only hsd had trouble with labor unlnns himself but believed they were Instru mental In destroying the Times build- and turned him over to tha state for examination. "Do you. bellva in eircamiismni evidence?" asked Attorney Horton. If the evidence convinced ma be yond a reasonable doubt," answered Romans. "Vnu aiindei to im kind of preju dice or qualification?" "WelL our city government appro priated a fund ot $100,000, which. In my opinion, waa a corruption fund. I might believe people who testify aa to various circumstances: and I mean no reflection on tha Distrlot Attorneys office. But it was a fund In "tho hands of one man and I feel auspicious of It." "Then you feel bitter toward tha present city government?" Reply Arouses Mirth. "I think It Is a poor government." Laughter followed thla and tho bailiff waa compelled to rap for order. "I could not believe Mr. Mulholland under oath, for Instance," declared Roraana Mulholland was chairman of the com mittee appointed by tho Mayor to ln veetlgato the explosion and who re ported It to have been dynamite. "Has all this anything to do with this case?" Interrupted Judge BordwelL as Romans dilated on his opposition to the city government and its methods. "It is pertinent." replied District At torney Fredericks, "aa he aaya ho would not believa a witness under oath, or a class of witnesses, and aa William Mulholland probably will ba ona of our principal witnesses." Tho District Attorney argued that in many cases Jurors had been disquali fied for saying they would not believe a Chinaman under oath. A newspaper clipping waa provided and Horton asked Romans If ha had written the article. Goat'a Medltatloaa tm Kvldemee "I think I wrote It. but thero are some things there with which I had nothing to do." The article purported to be an attack on William Mulholland. The article showed the following aentence written on the margin in pea and addressed to Mulholland: "Public disgrace will be your reward and hell fire and damnation will follow you Into the next world." Argument ensued whether Romans should be allowed to answer whether he had written it. He Unally replied ...... k. V. , Aiii He fxed the time of writing It as I . I IT... more man two years ago. , air. ni -ton, of the state, produced another newspaper clipping about Mulholland. on wnlch. In large letters, waa written: "Meditations of the Goat." Romans burst Into a loud laugh aa he admitted writing this, too. "What are yeu laughing about?" asked Mr. Horton sternly. "I'm laughing about how that man was" "Never mind about that." broka In Judge Bordwell. aa he examined tha clipping. It was addressed alao to Mulholland. The date waa September 11, 1908. The state Offered in evi dence the clippings In question, but counsel for the defense objected. Tbe court questioned Romans fur ther about the various letters and car toons ba had sent to city offlciala. Ro mans explained that his opposition to Mulholland was because Mulholland had placed a reservoir near some of his property and to which an improve ment association of which he was a member also objected. Counsel for the defense announced that they wished to bring witnesses to oppose chargea of Incapacity made against the tales man by the state and the court let tha issue pass until tomorrow's session.

It will not be known for another week whether Infection haa been car ried from the present Isolated patient. Alarm was caused by the discovery of a case of fever on the Hong Kong Maru. which reached Honolulu Octo ber 28 from Panama The victim was a Hawaiian and was Immediately taken from the vessel and carefully laolated. Health officials have repeatedly called the attention of the Islanders to the danger from the spread of the dlaeaae by mosqultos and the discovery that the present case la of the kind spread by the Insects haa added to the uneasi ness. This is the first caso of yellow fever known In Hawaii. Cbemcketa Station May Go. SALEM. Or.. Nov. 1. (Special.) On complaint of T. A.

Magnet was not man enough for Marjorie, but he was the only man she knew until Trafford dropped from the sky in the nick of time And so Marjorie married, but did they live happily forever after? You don't know Wells'. This was merely the beginning of "Marriage," H. G. Wells' story in The American Magazine. For Marjorie was frightfully extravagant; Trafford was not rich, and soon there was the butcher, the baker, the candle stick maker as well as the devil to pay. All the humor and drama and human nature that made "Tono-Bungay" and "Mr. Polly" the best books you ever read, make "Marriage" a better book than either. . G. Wells makes money the master motive in .Marriage Money, the most talked' about in life, the least discussed in fiction, of all the many sources of trouble between husband and wife. In a thoroughly unexpected and Wells-like manner the author solves it, not by. abolishing Marjorie' s extravagance or Trafford's indigence. No! By abolishing the butcher, the. baker, the candlestick maker, and the dressmaker and jeweler as well. How? That's the story, a story so natural and yet so surprising that you will exclaim, "How true, and yet how interesting!"
