By the Associated Press, INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, March 20— Impatience over inability to make any appreciable progress toward se- leotion of a jury was manifest at the opening of the fourth day of the trial of Gov. McCrayson charges of | embezzlement in criminal court hers today. Of the 200 talesmen originally drawn for the jury more than 100 {have been exhausted. Sixty-three {have been examined and many others jexcused on acccunt of sickness or other disqualifications. Statements by a score or more of | the prospective jurors that they held !fixed opinions as to the guilt or in- {nocence of the defendant and, there- {fore, were not qualified for service, |drew a sharp reprimand from Judgs {Harry O. Chamberlain, who declared |if the men were honest in their as- !sertions he could not see why it was inot possible to set aside prejudice and {lsar the case an ovidence and the aw. | Seek Fnir-Minded Jury. ! Clarence Nichols, special prosecutor, followed with the observation that some people evidently” think it a game between attorneys, and added: “This is not a game, however, but an honest effort to obtain a fair- minded jury.” Despite efforts to speed up the jury selection, attorneys on both sides agree it will probably be several days before the work is completed. Of the twelve men in the box today, they said, only about five will be re- tained. PLASTERERS’ DEMAND FOR RAISE REJECTED Employers Unanimously Against $14 Day and Five-Day Week Union Proposes. Employing plasterers yesterday turned down flatly the new proposed wage scale for union plasterers, which would put a $14-per-day wage Into effect on April 5 in lieu of the pres: ent $12-a-day scale, and a five-day week, effective June 1, instead of the five-and-a-half-day week, as at press ent. The action was taken at a meeting of the Employing Plasterers’ Associa- tion, held in the office of the Builders and Manufacturers’ Exchange, in the Bona buildipg. The meeting, it was .announced, was attended by 90 per {cent of all employing plasterers in Washington and the vote to rejeot tke demands of the local Plasterers’ Union, No. 96, was unanimous. The reason for the rejection as- signed by the employers is that adoption of a five-day week would {have the effect of retarding opera- i tions on bulldings which are urgently {needed for both public and private interests. The wage rate was con- sidered too high to be accepted. EPISCOPAL VESTRY WILL DEFY BISHOP New York Church to Uphold Pastor in “Pagan” Rites as Part of Services.
