AT DARROW TRIAL HARRIMAN CORED ASRACENEARSEND CONVENTION FIGHT SCHOOL DIPLOMAS 3 SOCIALIST ACCUSED OF HAVING PROVIDED ALLEGED BRIBE FUND WARNING GIVEN, SAYS FRANKLIN Witness Appeals To Court When Ask ed To Tell Of Efforts To Bribe Members Of Jury LOS ANGELES, May 31. Job Har- riman, late candidate for Mayor of Los Angeles on the Socialist ticket, sat today within' the bar at the trial of Clarence S. Darrow for alleged jury bribingandhear .d himself accused of being the man who had provided Dar row with the alleged bribe money. Later in the day he heard the same witness, Bert H. Franklin, testifying for the State, quote Darrow as saying to him: "If you mention my name, I want you also to mention what you know about Job Harriman." Sensations were crowded thick and fast into today's sessions of the trial, following each othel in such rapid succession that the entire day might be described as one continuous thrill, culminating in the beginning of a rapid-fire cross-examination of the State's principal witness by Chief Counsel Rogers for the defense. Franklin's testimony on direct ex amination today was at times dramat ic in the extreme, the witness depart ing from his apparent willingness to tell all he knew to a seeming loath ness to give evidence concerning closef riends whom he subsequently drew into his story of jury corrup tion. Twice he appealed to the court once, when he was asked to name a man who was said to have offered a bribe to a venireman with whom he was negotiating and again when As . sistant District Attorney Fredericks asked him to give the names of three men whom he had approached with of fers of bribes.

That Theo dore Roosevelt will go to Chicago per sonally to lead the fight for his nom ination by the Republican national convention is the belief here today of well posted politicians. The former president refused to deny that such a move was not unlikely. Roosevelt de nied that his present intention was to appear personally on the floor of the convention but when pressed he ad mitted that he might change his plans and make the trip. Medill McCormick and Chauncey Dewey, both of Illinois, and both, close to the former president conferred with Colonel Roosevelt today at the Outlook offices, and while no positive verification was obtainable, neither would deny that the question of Roose velt leading the progressive forces in the nomination fight was gone into. McCormick emphatically denied re ports that he was compelled to ar range a pilgrimage of Illinois dele gates to Oyster Bay for consultation with Roosevelt to prevent them from deserting the Colonel's forces. McCormick said: "The delegates desired to go to Oys ter Bay. They are for Roosevelt first, last and all the time.- Many of them could not afford to make the trip and so at my own expense I invited them to come as my guests. A dozen or more are en route here today. All the others will arrive tomorrow and will meet Colonel Roosevelt at Oyster Bay." , Voicing set determination to make no compromise whatever with any op ponent tor the Republican nomination Colonel Roosevelt today telegraphed Walter Brown, his Ohio manager in structing him to entertain no propo sition from the Taft camp. His tele gram read: "I have just seen a telegram which President Taft sent to Arthur L. Vnrys declaring he would not tolerate any compromise in Ohio. Until I saw this telegram I had never seen any sugges tion that there was to be any compro mise and I assume such suggestion came from the Taft forces. In the first place, I would not consent to any com promise, and in the next place we car ried Ohio by more than 30,000 in the popular primary. Any attempt to give Taft a single delegate at large would mean to sanction a deliberate effort to defraud the people by trickery, and to nullify their expressed will. Taft. has, in morals and equity, no claim whatever to a single Ohio delegate. "I wish this issue clearly made: We stand for the right of the people to choose their own candidates and to have the delegates carry out their choice Any individual who attempts to secure a single delegate at large from Ohio for Taft is openly taking the position that the convention is not to represent the will of the peofte, and that politicians are to be encour aged to defy popular will and commit an outrage on justice . "Any district delegate at the Ohia convention from any district that went for me at the primary, who him self votes for a single Taft delegate at large, commits an act of treachery to the people. Any man condoning'or approving such an act, condones and approves treachery." COW, DOGS AND FOWLS OF. A valuable cow belonging to Will iam Knoop, who resides on Fifteenth and Washington streets, was killed a few days ago by eating poisoned sau sage. The cow was staked near the Knoop home, and neighbors found it suffering from spasms. The owner and .a veterinary surgeon gave the cow medicine. An examina tion of the stomach, showed how it bad been killed. The neighbors as well as the owner, are determined to find the guilty person. Nine valuable dogs have been poisoned in that vicin ity with sausage recently. Many chick ens also have met the same fate as the cow. Mr. Knoop is a man with a family, and feels his loss keenly. The animal was valued at $75. A horse belonging to him was struck in the head while in its stall a short time ago, and a man was seen to walk from the barn. The police have ben notified and it is probable that he man will be arrested.
