T TRIAL OF FAMOUS LABOR "LAW YER IS STARTED IN LOS ANGELES ' DEFENSE SCORES PROSECUTION Attorney Is Accused Of Having Used Money Lavishly At Trial Of Self-Confessed - Dynamiters LOS ANGELES, May 24. Accused in the opening statement of the Chief Prosecutor of wholesale corruption of jurors and witnesses, Clarence S. Darrow, labor lawyer, author and pihl-osophei-, on an indictment charging attempted bribery of a juror in the McNamra case faced' actual trial this afternoon. It required only a brief time after the beginning of the afternoon session to accept A. M. Blakesley as the 13th or alternate juror. More than two entire days were consumed in getting the extra juror. Following the opening address to the jury George E. Monroe, clerk in JuHge Bordwell's court, where the McNamara brothers pleaded guilty, was called as the first witness for the prosecution. Monroe still was on the stand when the court adjourned un til tomorrow morning., District Attorney Fredericks men tioned in his opening address other alleged offenses on the part of Dar row, which brought vigorous object tions from the defense. Without ruling on the admissalVi tv of evidence purporting to prove al legations outside of those contained in the indictment, Judge Hutton al lowed the District Attorney to contin ue. The indictment alleges that Dar row bribed George N. Lockwood, who was drawn as a juror-in the trial of J. B. McNamara for murder in con nection with the dynamiting of the Los Angeles Times building. "Two weeks before the date of the indictment," said Mr. Fredericks, "Bert H. Franklin, then employed as a detective by Darrow, went to Lock wood and offered him a certain amount if he would vote not guilty,- provided he were drawn as a juror. "We will show that Franklin did this at the instance and request and under the direction of the defendant." Lockwood, according to the prose cutor's statement, then reported the incident to the District Attorney's of fice and was told to" continue his ne gotiations with the agents of the Mc Namara defense. When Lockwood's name was drawn, he said, Franklin again appeared at his house and of fered to pay him $500 down and $5000 additional after he -had voted "not guilty."

DARROW ANTED AS C0RRUPT10NIS L GENIUS! HE TOILS GOING FROM TOWN TO TOWN FROM YEAR TO YEAR HE RE MAINS ENTHUSIASTIC AND HE IS ALWAYS SUCCESSFUL Contest Manager Believes Candidates In Great Auto Race Could Learn Lesson From Great "Tent Booster" S STANDING OF CANDIDATES Ruby McCord 191,200 $ Joseph Sheahan : 47.200 $ Kent Wilson 33,600 8 S John Brown 15,000 S John Weber .v. 6,800 S S John Haleston 6,000 & $ A. G. Kindler 7,200 8 The advance man of .a big, circus, which will soon come to town, visited the Enterprise office Friday night. His name is John D. Carey, and an hours' conversation with himTs worth while. Mr. Carey is an old time news paper man, and an old time circus man. He was a reporter on the New York Sun when Charles A. Dana was writing his inimitible editorials, when Chester Lord, for many years Manag ing Editor of the New York Sun, was receiving $15 a week as cub reporter. He knew and worked with all the old stars in the big town, such as Hamil ton Marshall, "Jersey" Chamberlain, "Gym" Bagley, Joseph Eakin and JoBn Gilmer Speed. And then when -be quit the newspaper business for "the road" Mr. Carey became associated with such star "advance men" as "Toady" Hamilton. And what man who has been in the newspaper business for twenty years or more does not remem ber the genial, jovial "Toady" Hamil ton? H was the fellow who came around every year just before the ap pearance of the circus and handed the city editor 100 complimentary tic kets to the "big show" and you can bet your boots the city editor saw that plenty "reading matter" about the "big show" got in the paper, and not one of those "free' tickets was giv en to anyone but a worker on that particular paper or a member of one of the worker's family. Those were good old newspaper days, and good old circus days, and Mr. Carey's coming around again, though he is still young, hale and hearty, albeit retaining that old "way about him" that endeared the advance man of the circus to the newspaper men of a generation ago, takes one out of a rut and leads to joyous things in the retrospective. His enthusiasm, his absolute cer tainty that the show he represents is the best in the world, his confidence that Oregon City and Clackamas County will turn out en masse to wit ness the "dazzling, bewildering, world famous show with its astounding feats of daring and unparalleled hip podrome" is enough to put new life into even the man with the shadows lengthening behind him. The Contest Manager was impress ed by this man, and, it occurred to him if the candidates in the great automobile race could see and know John D. Carey, veteran newspaper and circus man, and could imbibe just a bit of his enthusiasm there would be such a contest as was never known in Oregon before. And Mr. Carey's success has been due entirely to an enthusiastic desire to work, which has resulted in work well done. AT HEAD OF RETREAT EL PASO, Texas, May 24. Although suffering from a painful wound in the leg, received in his disastrous battle with General Huerta's federal troops, in which the revolutionary loss is placed at close to 1000 men. General Pascual Orozco, commander in chief of the Mexican rebel army, today per sonally directed the retreat of his forces toward Jiminez. There the rebel chieftan plans to make a final effort to halt the advancing federals, and turn the tide of defeat which yes terday swept the rebels, in confusion out of Rellano. Genral Orozco narrowly escaped death' in yesterday's battel. While giving orders on the firing line a shell burst and instantly killed one of his staff officers standing near. A frag ment of the shell struck the rebel gen eral in the left leg, inflicting a pain ful wound. A few minutes later the enemy's ar tillery started pouring a raking fire into the rebel ranks, and the" revolu tionists, unbale to withstand the hail of shells, retired to Corralitos. At daybreak the army continued to Jim inez, where the rebels plan to make another stand. Rebel leaders at Juarez admitted to day that General Orozco was disas trously defeated at Rellano.
