trial of Peter Do Witt 'Prcadwny for
the murder of Henry T. Peirce within
mo hours after the defendant was
hrnujlit before Judge Audenried in

The seven men were selected out of
nineteen talesmen examined. After
that twenty more talesmen were ex
amined, nnd not one accepted. At 1
o'clock adjournment was ordered for nn
hour.
It seems likely that the Jury will be
completed and the case formnlly opened
for the commonwealth before the after
noon session closes.
Assistant District Attorney Speiser
in tuo instances challenged jurors who
temrd to have prejudices against the
oVfendaot.
"A jury of men like this talesman
would hang any one," he said in chal
lenging one of the jurorM, and about a
rond later he remarked : "This man
ffms to hate his mind made up against
the defendant -wo don't want hint."

not believe death in the, electric chair
is sufficient punishment for such a

"I do not believe in capital punish
ment." said Mrs. Peirce this morning.
"It seems to mo there is n better way
to mete out justice. Death is easy and
often a happy relief to one. where liv
ing would be torture. Solitary con
finement, for Instance, would be much
harder, don't you think? Mutf
"I hope tho girl in this ease will not
be dealt with lightly because of her
sex Mo.ibe 1 shouldn't feel that way;
but she is old enough to know right
from wrong. She knew 1 1 the time that
Treadway contemplated robbery if not
murder, and she went with him.

CHICKEN'S HEART BEATS
AND GROWS IN GLASS JAR
Dr. Alexis Carrel Has Kept Organ
Alive Artificially Eight Yeara
New York, March 15 Hi Alexis
Cnrrel. who is to sail for France soon,
will leave nt the Bockefeller Institute
laboratories one of the surgical marvels
of the age. It Is the heart of a chicken
that never lived, although its heart,
which was removed from the embryo in
1012, still beats and adds to its tissue
in a. special container at the labora
tories. The organ has been nourished
artificially for eight years
Long before the world wai Dr Car
rol startled scientists with the an
nouncement that he had kept portions of
animals' hearts alive for months while
immersed in n special antbicptlc solu
tion, and that those portions, after a
comparatively short time, surrounded
themselves with living cells nnd grew to
more than sixty times their original size.
When the war took the famous sur
geon to France, not to return except on
brief trips until 1011), it wns supposed
that his experiments were ubandoned.
Information, now available, shows that
under Dr. Carrel's direction, the em
brjn chicken henrt which began its life
eight years ago has been regularl fed
and cared for until, nt present, the
scientist has gone farther than ever to
offer the possibility of his claim to im
mortality for Individual living tissues.

Harrliiburg, March IB. - Governor
Sproul intlmntcd to a delegation of
women lcadcra who called on him to
day that new sources of revenue might
be tapped this session for the benefit of
the state's school system and other
progressive measures.
Mrs. John O. Miller, president of (he
League of Women Voters nnd chairman
of the legislative council representing
.all women's organizations here, said
at the conclusion of the conference that
tho situntinn, in respect to getting addi
tional revenue, looked "more hope
fill."
Mrs. Miller nnd ntlicrit in the talk
with the Governor impressed on the,
chief executive the need of more rcve
lines If the progressive measures women
were interested In were not to be sacri '
flced to the forces of reaction.
1 he conference nf tho women with the
Governor wns considered the biggest
event in the State Capitol today. It
showed the legislative leaders that the
women were determined to exert their
influence nnd bring pressure to bear on
the assemblymen, despite the Washing
ton conference presided over by Senator
Penrose, which decided against addi
tional revenues!.
Told Governor Their Alms
"We went to the Governor." said
Mrs. Miller, "for the purpose of advo
cating the pushing nf the program of
legislation for improvement of the
state's school system as proposed by Dr.
Thomas B. Finegan, state superin
tendent nf public instruction.
"We had n responsive audience as the
Governor is interested in the success of
the school program. We told him this
program should have virtually the right
of way. We told him we regarded the
progrtim as the most important before
the state at this time.
"We also pointed out to him that it
wns our understanding there wns not
sufficient revenue in sight to provide
for this program of school legislation.
We are told that it is estimated that
an additional $12,000,000 will be re
quired to provide for betterment of the
schools throughout the state, to bring
the schools up to the place where they
belong."
"Did you suggest specific sources oi
luxation to the Governor?" Mrs, Miller
was asked.
"Now," she leplied. "I cannot speak
foi the Governor, but we suggested n
tax on the capital stock of manufac
turing corporations nnd we also sug
gested the Thillips bill which luys a
tax on all the natural resources of the
Btnte including coal "

Washington. March 15 Concen
trating the American fleet in the Pacifies
ocean, wlui h is indicated as one of tbe
early step of the new administration,
will be the most important development
of world politics mice the great war.
It will piobably be accompanied ss was
President Roosevelt's sending of ths
American battleships to visit Asia, bv
assurances of friendly intentions toward
Tapan. but it will stir the East even
more than did that earlier evidence of
this country's naval interest in this
Pacific
It will alter the whole political bal

she can make new political alignments.

Australia will welcome the concent
tration of the American fleet in the"
Pacific and an nggressiye American
policy with regard to the Philippines.
Both sbe and Canada will be drawn
more into the orbit of American in
fluence by the American naval domi
nation of the western ocean Under
these conditions there is u growing
j likelihood that the Anglo Japanese
treaty will b founit repugnant to the
, covenant oi wie leiiuiie
Just as this i-ompscr with respect
to the Orient is certainly before the
league, so certain other agi cements and
acts of Japan, especially with respect
to China, will be likely to come before
the new association of nations which
will replace the present league. These
i include tbe agreements with China made
' as result of tlie lamous thirty-one
demands presenten oy .moan to equina
during the great war. und perhaps also
t1"" question of the status of Shantung.

from the Atlantic
There is to be seen in all this a ten
i denc on the pait of the two govern
I ments to recognize spheres of influence
for each other to divide the world for
inniineri lal purposes between them.
Mr Harding s foreign policy is vigor
ously directed toward the support of
' American capital in South America and
toward the uinintename of the open
door for American capital in the Orient.
England, according to reports here, is
withdrawing from control of oil in

merchant marine upon established
roctes of tiacle
At any rate, oui concentrating mir
fleet in the Pacifii when it comes,
Britain h hesitation over renewing the
lupaiiese alliance, our leaving the At
lantic to the British navy, and Brit
ain's reduction of her effective naval
force and her declination to enter Into
