A Reuter cable from Mukden announces that Chang Liang has been appointed, Tupan of Fengtien in succession to bis father. This presumably may be taken as conclusive evidence of Marshal Chang Tao Lin's death. Though frequently reported before, the earlier messages have all been from Japanese or Nationalist sources, while until now the Mukder authorities have shown, a very marked degree of reticence. The Japanese Govern- ment is reported to be backing the claims of General Chang Teo Sheng,
General Yen Shib Shan i giving very serious consideration to the annexation of Manchuria, either by negotiations or, if nçccesary, by armed force. He has sent a delegation to Fengtien to open negotiations with Chang Hsueh Liang. He is also con- centrating forces along the Peking-Fengtien Railway so that he may be ready to attack the Fengtienese, should his delegation Lai in their mission.
Meanwhile a certain number of Northern troops, who were making their way towards Mukden, have been disarmed by the Japancee at Shanhaikwan, a measure which Japan has announced as her policy for some little time. "CHANG'S SUCCESSOR.

A jury which included three women was being sworn in a casc of an unpleasant character at the Old Bailey on May 22nd, when the foreman informed the Recorder. Sir Ernest Wild, K.C., that all the women jurors wished to be excused from serving.
I do not see why the women of the jury should be released," said Sir Ernest. This is a enso affect- ing the honour of children, and I should have thought that women were the proper persons to serve."
Sir Ernest turned to the women jurors, and added: "If you do not wish to do your duty as citizens I will release you. Do you desire to
be released ?"

A woman juror: We all do. The Recorder: Very well, then, you shall be released, but I think your decision is deplorable.
The three women then left the box and three other jurors-two women and a man-took their places.
Sir Ernest asked the women if they had any objection to doing their duty as citizens.

TEHERAN, June 17th. Persia and Afghanistan have ex- changed four Protocols completing the negotiation of a Treaty of Security and Friendship.
The first lays down the principle that in case of war being threaten- ed with other countries, the con- tracting parties will endeavour to find an amicable settlement.
The second guarantees mutual economic assistance.
The third arranges for the estab- lishment of land, postal and tele: graphic communications, grante Customs-free facilities, and allows most-favoured nation treatment to the subjects of one country living in the other.
The fourth arranges for extradi- tion in the case of non-political offences
The Protocols are similar to the first threa exchanged between Persia and Turkey relative to the Treaty of April, 1024.
As the result of the negotiations, the Legations at Kabul and Teheran have been raised to the status of Embassica.

Returning from work during the tush hours at noon, two Landoa sisters, Kate Bedell (19) and May Bedell (16), were knocked down. and killed by a steam lorry near the tramway junction opposite King's Crass Tube Station.

With a companion they were crossing the road, arm-in-arm, and had negotiated a line of traffic coming along Euston Road when they fell in front of the lorry, which was passing out of St. Pancras
