Hall of Records, Los Angeles, Nov.
Alleging' that i the prosecution Is
given a materlat; advantage fl&y the
court's rullngv that It can Challenge for
cause men-who say they would refuse
to convict In .capital cases where the
evidence ( Is :", : entirely: ; circumstantial.
. while the defense cannot so challenge.
Attorney Clarence" S. Darrow, chief
counsel for James B, McNamara, today
asked the court to reopen the auestloil.
He demanded that Judge Bordwell ex
cuse Lowran W. Traver, who had stated
that he could not convict . entirely on
circumstantial evidence where the death
penalty was Involved. ; -v-
Judg Bordwell. denied the defense's
application, "without prejudice," and an
nounced that he would examine the au
thorities cited; by, Darrow nd If the
point was : well taken, he would reopen
the matter. , Should he do so It will
materially alter the aspect of the pres
ent ttlal.- v ; . , ' -', '
The code says that a man entertain
ing such scruples 7shaU not .fp per
mitted or. . compelled"'; to serve. '. Judge
Bordwell, - in ' denying ' the. defense- - the
right V to .challenge on this specino
ground, ruled that it was the states
and ont ... the . defense's right, which
would - be Interfered with by such a
Jumhv The defense's right "would be
safeguarded by a Juror entertaining
such an opinion," he ruledV,rather than
violated.' ;v.;;.;, . ;
Darrow Intends .to demand that the
jury In this trial either hang James B.
McNamara or, turn him loose.,. There
fore, he wants a Jury that he can Im
press that fact upon, because he wants
to- avoid any, compromise verdict In
this case on account of the effect It
mlght,.bave should John .J. McNamara
ever be put on trial In Los Angeles, rr
Most of the morning session was de
voted to dlsaualifylnV M. P. Mooney,
who was objectionable to the state. HI
examination was marked -by frequent
flurries, between coupsel on both sides,
as the state was anxious to get rid of
him on some other ground than' hi
views on circumstantial evidence. Un
able to do so, liowever,. they finally had
to make the challenge on that ground,
which gave Darrow his opportunity - to
request the reopening of the entire case.
' B. P. Olcott of Pomona was chal
lenged ror cause by the defense btecause
he said he was opposed to labor unions,
and believed that the-Times was dyna
mited. The state resisted, and Olcott
said he would try not to be Influenced
by his ' opinion if wom as a Juror.
Judge Bordwell finally announced that
he would pass on the challenge at
o'clock, as he war ted to read the record,
and Darrow then examined Allan Jack
son Stevens of Whlttler, a rancher and
a native of Tennessee, r He was still be
ing Interrogated when the luncheon re
cess was taken. ,

UMATILLA PLAN
Wilcox ahd Teal to Make Trip
to Washington Soon After
Pressure will be brought to bear, dur
ing., the coming session of congress,
upon -President Taft In the hope of ln-fluenclng-hlm
to divert a portion of the
t20.OO0.O0O reclamation fund from proj
ects on which work has not been start
ed, and there are no prospects that work
will be started soon, on the west Uma
tilla project In Oregon. f
; Soon after the Christmas holidays T.
B. Wilcox and J. N. Teal of this city
will visit Washington, and in behalf of
the commercial Interests of Portland
they will use their Influence In support
of the efforts of the Oregon delegation
in congress to bring relief to the set
tlers who have been patiently waiting
for the government to make good its
promise to reclaim the desert in that
part of Oregon. -
"All of the $20,000,000 reclamation
fund his been allotted by the board of
army engineers to various projects In
the United States, and so- rar no one
has been able to get a single allotment
changed," said Mr. Wilcox. "Neverthe
less nothing; will be aecompllshel unless
an effort Is made, and I am willing to,
do all I can to bring relief , to those set
tlers. 1 understand many of their water
rights expire the first of next March.
, Mr. Wilcox - said it seemed a scheme
that portions of the J20, 000,000 reclama
tion fund should be tied up .waiting" for
projects on which work- has never beflrl
started when' the need for the 'complex
tton of the west Umatilla project 1 .so
urgent -. ; v '
"At the time the fund was allotted to
various projects." said Mr. . Wilcox, "it
was not apparent that the needs of the
Umatilla project would be ' so much
more urgent than some of the others to
which funds were diverted, but this is
now very plain to be seen.
"I don't know what can .be -dona. I
don't know that anything can be done.
But 1 know that. we, want to make the
effort It may be we will have to
watt until Senator Borate gets, tnrough
his bill for an additional $16,000,000 for
the use of the reclamation department
ifl ',' believe he carrying out of the
west Umatilla project Is of. the greatest
Importance to the city of Portland."
