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.

FAMOUS CHRISTIAN
IS
" Robert Green, son of S. R. Green,
who was accidentally shot Thursday
by E. T. Fields, Southern Pacific ag
ent at Oregon City, was much improv
ed Friday and his physicians, Dr. E. A.
Somjner and Drs. H. S. and Guy
Mount believe that he will recover.
The young man, who was graduated
Wednesday at the Eastham school,
stood the operation well, and says he
is certain he will recover. The bul
let passed just beneath the heart and
lodged near the spine. No attempt
will be made to remove it at the pres
ent. Mr. Fields-, who fired at a snag
in the river, the ball glancing and
striking Green, is suffering from the
shock. He has been in poor health
for about a year, and the shooting it
was feared might have a serious effect
upon him. The news, however, that
his victim would recover cheered him
a great deal, and his physician thinks
he will soon recover from the shock.

EX-PRESIDENT DOESN'T DENY RE
PORT THAT HE WILL BE
, ON FLOOR
BIG PARTY GOING TO OYSTER BAY
Suggestion Of Compromise Is Spurn
ed By Roosevelt Declares
He Will Be
Winner
NEW TORK, May 31. 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.
A small classified ad will rent that
vacant room.

Impression
The forty-second graduating class of
the Oregon City high school, in the
presence of several hundred of their
friends and relatives, held their Com-.
! mencement exercises Friday night in
the high school auditorium and re
ceived their diplomas. Fourteenof
the 18 members of the clas s were
sweet-faced girls, all gowned in white
making a pretty picture. The masses
of beautiful flowers were much admir
ed, overflowing two large tables front
ing the stage.
The exercises opened with a num
ber, "Frat," , by the high school or
chestra, followed by Miss Marian Mon-
ey, who gave the salutatory with grace
! and finish. Edwin Alldredge and John
Dambach rendered a vocal duet, and
then came the most entertaining feat
ures of the program, the class pro
phecy. The stage was cleared and
single and in pairs seven of the girl
graduates came on the stage and dis
cussed the happenings involving the
members of the 1912 class up to tie

out, and those participating were Flo
ella Hewett, Leola Kordenat, Clare
Sterns, Florence White, Anne Tolpol-

The Lorelei Club, composed of high
school students, sang a number pleas
ingly, and Miss Clara Wievesiek gave
the valedictory, which was full of en
obling thought for the future of the
class.
Rev. George N. Edwards gave the
address to the class, and in a well at
tuned talk he told of the unsolved
problems of life. He told the mem
bers of the graduating class to think
for themselves, to have thir own ideas
and contribute something to the world.
He said no one can receive an educa
tion, but that one could only receive
the opportunity to gain an education
for himseU or herself. Mr. Edwards
analyzed the class motto, "Give and
Receive," and finished his address
with an illustration of Kipling's"The
Ship. That Found Herself."
George A. Harding, chairman of the
Board of Directors, made a happy lit
tle speech to the class and presented
the diplomas, and City Superintend
ent Tooze thanked the audience for
their presence and bade them good
night.
Hundreds of people swarmed, on the
stage and warmly congratulated the
graduates. The auditorium was taste
fully decorated with the colors of the
class. -
