Endeavoring to Get a Jury in the
Laney Reed Case—Special
Panel of Thirty
Summoned.
As the Daily Transcript goes to
press this afternoon the lawyers in
the case of Laney Reed, charged with
the murder of W. W. Bumgarner, are
still trying to get a jury. Yesterday
afternoon the regular panel was ex-
hausted speedily, and a special panel
of thirty ordered, which were sum-
moned last night and this morning
from the vicinity of Moore, the idea
being to get as far from the scene of
the killing as possible in selecting
jurors. The new thirty are as follows:
PECULIAR COMBINATION
SOUNDS "BLUFFY"
Max Fischer, candidate for council-
man in the 4th ward, is up against a
peculiar combination of circumstances.
He is registered as a Democrat, is
known as a king-bee Bull Mooser and
voted the only Bull Moose ticket cast
in that ward at the last election, has
asked for the nomination on the Re-
publican ticket, and ts going against
a'60 or 75 Democratic majority in that
ward. But certainly his candidacy
must appeal to the independent voter,
for if he is anything politically he is
an "independent" in all that word
means.

Washington, March 2.—No nation
: has the right to change the interna-
' tional rules of war. Conditions of
'war under which nations have waged
warfare have radically changed, but
the rules as laid down and subscribed
to by all powers still exist and must be
lived up to.
Stripped of legal verbiage and dip-
lomatic assurances of goodwill, this
will be the answer of the United
States to the latest announcement of
Great Britain and France declaring a
consructive blockade of all goods con-
signed to German ports, or ports of
neutal countries from which the goods
would find their way to Germany.

PATRON-TEACHER
The Patron-Teacher association of
the Washington school (West Side)
will hold their regular meeting Friday,
March 6, 1915.
Mrs. Dungan, of the State Univer-
sity, will give a lecture on music.
There will also be special exercises by
the children of grade three.
Everyone interested in the success
of the school is urged to attend.
That sounds pretty good, but what
will the Wilson administration do if
England and France decline to recede
.from their position? Good bluff, but
when it comes to "delivering the
goods" that's another story. There is
no question but that England and
France will insist upon their right to
blockade the ports, and before the
"war of diplomacy" is finished the real
war will be over. "Watching and
| waiting" is to be still the policy of the
Wilson administration.

RUCKER'S
This panel put in an appearance at
1:30 this afternoon and from it it is
thought the jury will be completed.
Many of the jurors examined yes-
terday were excused because of their
views on capital punishment; many
expressing themselves opposed to it,
and that they would not vote to hang
a man no matter how strongly they
might believe in his guilt. Numerous ,
others examined as to qualifications
were excused because they had heard
or read of the case and had formed
and expressed opinions.
From the questions put to juror by
Attorney Dudley, it was indicated that
insanity will be the plea of Mr. Reed;
the question being put to each juror
whether insanity as a plea" would be
given consideration by the juror, and
if he would resolve any reasonable
| doubt of defendant's sanity at the time
j he committed the act in his favor.
Nothing indicating why Reed was in-
sane, or what caused it, was brought
out in the questioning.
The court room is crowded at the
hearings, indicating the interest bein„
taken in the case. Judge Swank pre-
sides with ability, his rulings being
clear, prompt and explicit. Much in-
terest is being taken in the manner
Attorney Dudley conducts the de-}
fense, as it is recognized he is handi- (
capped by lack of time to prepare, but
he is "on his metal" and putting up a
good fight.
Probably testimony will not begin!
before tomorrow morning.

TOM MAYFIELD'S SICKNESS
WET MARCH PROBABLE
That March is going to be a "wet"
month, as predicted by the Tran-
script's weather prophet, Mr. J. As-
bury, was emphacised last night,
when about an inch of water fell, the
hard part of the rain coming between
2 and 3 o'clock this morning. The
ground is thoroughly soaked.
March came in like a sheep at
least, if not a lamb; the first three
days giving no indications of any
leonine qualities. Thus, an early
spring is prognosticated.
