DIY'S PROCilESS INIIIIIILOF MlllMlinilS By Associated Press. Los Angeles. Cal., Oct. 16.—Con tinuation of examination of tales men in the trial of James B. ate* Namara, indicted for aumerout fatal* itifla resulting from the explosion • year ago of the Times building here, was planned to follow the an nouncement today by Judge Walter Bordewell of his ruling as to the eligibility of Z. T. Nelson to act as a juror. Eleven other talesmen, locked in a room adjacent to the court chamber, and 31 veniremen awaited the judges ruling as a definite step forward In the trial. “I only intend to speak about half an hour,’ declared Joseph Scott, the attorney selected to con clude the argument today for the de fense against the acceptance of Nel son. “I regard the getting of a fair jury as the fundamental feature of his trial,” added Mr. Scott. “Folks have read a great deal in the newspapers and magazines about this case', but I think we can find 12 men who can waive that information in lieu of ev idence. As far as Nelson is concern ed, however, he has admitted that it would take strong evidence to change his views and that obviously dis qualifies him.” Extensive quiszlng of the othw talesmen, particularly aa to their filalions or connections with lawr unions or strikes admittedly is io* tended by the defense attorneys Fair A Record Score: Athletics 3; New York 1.

Pekin, Oct. 16.—Another indication of the extent to which the revolution is reaching developed here today by publication of demands to the throne, framed by 60 members of the Chin ese assembly which was organized a year ago as a nucleus for a parlia ment. The resolutions demand that in the interests of peace, the pro vincial assembly of Sze Chuen be permitted to organize immediately and that the president and vice pres-' ident of that body be released from prison 'to take part in the sessions. Want Minister Dismissed. The resolutions further call for a dismissal of Sheng Hsuan Huai, im perial minister of posts and com munications. Sheng negotiated the loans for the nationalization-'of the railways and has been a leading ad vocate of the anti-provincial policy which is regarded as largely respon sible for the present uprising. The president of the national as sembly will lend his official restige to the resolutions and will transmit them in person to the cabinet. Heavy. Runs on Banks. Heavy runs on the banks here continued today. There were riotous scenes in / front of several institi.- tions, the policemen on duty being forced repeatedly to club back the crowds and protect the bank officials. Government bank notes are no longer passing at par, the best quotation to day being at a discount of 20 per cent. Japan to Take No Part. San Francisco, Oct. 16.—At a mass meeting held at the quarters of the Young China association last week, a cablegram from Peking was read which stated that it had been learned that Japan had refused to in volve itself in the Chinese difficulty. A conference between the Manchu officials and the Japanese ambassador at Peking bad given rise to a ru- iaior that the Japanese might go to the aid of the Chinese govern ment. . . What Effect on the Powers? Washington^ CJ?t. 16.—^e forn”4- able “jbeU;** now sweeping over mi«dle China came with such sud denness and was. so unexpected on tEe part of occidental nations that there has as yet been no opportunity for a d©'"®iopment of the internation al bases of the movement which seems destined to make a deep im pression upon the Chinese nation whether it shaU prove successful or be a failure. ^ Now that some idea of the wide extent of the disaffection and its possible influence upon the future of China begins to obtain, it is believed here that some at leist of the pow- «ra tave is the past asserted an terested in oriental •affairs and they have given some thought to the sub ject of the protection of the integrity of the Chinese empire against such designs. What Will America Do? Apparently there is but one feasi ble method of accomplishing this, it is pointed out and that is by securing .1 concert of action among the ikjw- ers such as was so successfully maintained by Secretary Hay in sup port of the “open door” policy in the far east. Whether or not it will again devolve upon America to take the le^d in organizing such a defen sive union, it is yet too early to predict, but if the rebellion should be long drawn out, as promises now to be the case, it is believed that some infringement by one side or the other on the rights of for eigners will soon occur that will bring the matter to an issue by caus; ing some aggressive power to unduly assert itself in China. The government has decided to per mit foreign diplomats to exchange dispatches with- their representatives in the provinces where a rigid cen sorship has been decreed. Japan Involved. A considerable stir has been caus ed here by persistent reports that .Japanese officials knew of the plans for revolt in the central provinces long in advance and even partici^- ted in the movement. Japanese Min ister Ijuin gae official denial to these rumors today. Foreign banks have been ii^lrect- ly sounded* regarding the possibility -a a crnvAmment loan ol of arranging a government loan $2,500,000. . The price of rice has risen 20 per cent since the revolt began. It is believed passenger tr^c on the railway between Peking^ and Tientsin^ will be interrupted tomor row.
