Disqualification of tentative jurors by challenges or for cause had so depleted the list of 75 ven iremen tonight, that another list of fifty persons was ordered by Judge Henry L. Scarlett to be pre pared for an extra venire Monday. It appeared that Snook's attor neys were determined to obtain a jury preferrably of men, probably because of the nature of the tes timony that members of the panel will be required to discuss and weigh before they reach a verdict. This testimony. Attorney John F. Seidel informed the jurors, will be replete with instances showing that Dr. Snook and the girl medi cal student maintained illicit re lations over a period of three years and in that time had used narcotics, which fostered the re lationship. Seidel served notice on jurors in determining their qualifications that the defense eapects to prove that Miss Hix was responsible for their use of narcotics, first giving them secretly to her 49 year old lover, and then joining with him in experimenting in their use.

Discord is Seen Again In Far East (By The Associated Press) Tension in the controversy be tween Russia and China over the seizure of the Chinese Eastern railway seemed to have been ag gravated at Moscow Just as it shows signs of relaxing through unofficial conversations in Man churia.

The government gave no Indi cation of its next step. Conversations at Changchun. Manchuria, seemed to have eased the ; strain between the Russian and: Chinese officials in the field. Russian Consul-General MelnikDv of Harbin and General Chang Tso- Hsiang, governor of Kirin prov- ince, were believed to have pav ed the way for opening negotia- Hons Chinese officials in Mukden and Harbin were said to feel that seizure of the railway had been premature. The Chinese railway president, Ltt- Yung-Huan, was considered to have exceeded his authority in evicting Russian of ficials of the road. Russia has contended the railway must be re stored to the status quo before negotiations could begin. A high -military authority in Harbin indicated the peaceful temper of Chinese troops in Man churia by saying that if the Rus sians should begin an offensive, the Chinese would retreat without fighting. , !

July 26 (AP) While the Mahchurian issue con tinues to attract keen attention in Japan the newspapers today de vote their editorials to the action of Great Britain and th$ United States in suspending warship con struction. Ashi, congratulating both coun tries, takes occasion to comment On the Kellogg anti-war pact. It asserts that while it has probably assisted in keeping China and the Soviet union from resorting to arms. It is doubtful whether it would have been effective if both nations had been intent on war from tbe outset. - The paper concludes that one way -of making the pact more ef fective is enforcement of further limitation of armaments, and therefore it was especially grati fying that Great Britain and the United States were voluntarily taking steps in this direction. Other, leading newspapers ex pressed similar sentiments and the headlines of NIchi Nichi boldly an nounce Abandonment of Anglo- American competition." : Cherrians Will Head For Eugene i ' Thirty members of the Salem Cherrians organisation will make the trip to Eugene this morning to participate in the Sunset Trail Parade at 11 a.m. The dram and bugle corps! of Capital Post No. 9 American Legion, will also participate.

The. resignations came Just within the 60-day limit, by which the board, if it cares to, niay hold teachers to their con tracts; Foe this reason, it is probable these are the last resig nations before school opens. Fulp's position has been virtu ally filled already, awaiting but the action of the school board.
