TYi- ESTACADA TO HAKE FIGHT FOR BABY PRIZE Babies having claims to physical perfection in the Estacada country, or in fact anywhere within East Clacka mas County, may be entered in a show to be held at Estacada, "August 27, when the District fair under the sup ervision of H. M. James is to take place. Superintendent James expects a good many entries for the district and he believes that a baby show in con nection will prove a big attraction.. There will be three classes: Babies up to 6 months. Babies from 6 month to 1 year. Babies from 1 year up to 2 years. The judges will be physicians and nurses, those most competent to de termine physical perfection, less at tention being paid to beauty than health. Of course a combination of beauty and health will be a winner. It has been suggested that the win ner of the local contest, be sent to the state fair, where the child may en ter into compettion with babies from all over the state. Estacada has many fine babies and it is believed, a repre sentative from that district would win in the state contest. TAFT DEFENDERS WASHINGTON, Aug. 16. Redhot denunciation of Representatives Bar tholdt of Missouri and Mondell of Wyoming, for their speeches defend ing the Republican national conven tion for renominating President Taft was voiced in the house today by Rep resentative Warburton of Washing ton. "Those speeches," Warburton de clared, "show how utterly unfitted and unqualified both these gentlemen were to act as judges in the contest at Chi cago between President Taft and Col onel Roosevelt. Both were grossly partisan." Analyzing the selection of the Washington delegates to the Chicago, convention, Warburton charged that the Roosevelt delegates to the Wash ington state convention were denied tickets of admission and were exclud ed from the hall. Warburton ridicul ed Bartholdt's statement that he "had a front seat" in the national commit tee and listened .to all the contests. "About 30 or 35 men sat in those front seats," said Warburton, "but they only heard such evidence as they desired to hear. They sat in the front seats and listened and listened and listened, but in the end they re membered only what the bosses want ed them to remember:" SPECIAL TERM TO TRY N. Y.

"I must admit," said Connie Mack, "that Bos ton looks like the one best bet in the American League but please don't count my boys as through. "The Athletics do seem hopelessly behind, being nearly a dozen games to the bad, but we haven't thought of taking the count as yet. - " I won't figure my team out of the running until the figures show that no matter what happens we cannot win Then I will become reconciled to fate. "The Boston club is going finely, is a well balanced aggregation, and with its present lead looks like the logical choice for first honors. "Baseball .however, is a mighty un certain pastime, and on the uncertain ty of the game I am largely basing my hopes for success. "The season is only two-thirds over and a lot of things can happen in 50 games. I know a lot of people are ready to inter the world's champions, but I hope to fool them. "Too much automobile has played havoc with my club. "It rendered Morgan useless, and has greatly diminished Bender's ef fectiveness. The love of the whiz wa gon has not helped some of the other boys. "A catching staff that has fallen far below expectations has caused an other big setback Reliable Ira Thom as has been in poor condition all year, despite his wonderful arm Lapp has thrown poorly, while Egan has not shown his real form. An injury that has put Murphy out of the game for the entire season has deprived me of my 'clean up' man; reversal of form by Collins and Barry and a terrific slump in batting by my outfielders, are just a few minor reasons why the Athletics are not in front. "I don't feel half bad over holding down third, with hopes of doing bet ter. "Washington is a wonderful team, and with another pitcher as reliable as Johnson would win out, I believe. Griffith is sure to be a strong contend er, but at this stage the Red Sox look best." FOR EQUAL SUFFRAGE The announcement by Mrs. H. R. Vail, representative of the state grange at the meeting of the state central campaign committee of th(e equal suffrage organizations of Oregon in Portland that the granges of the state were supporting- suffrage and that articles in favor of suffrage by prominent suffragists would he pub lished in the Bulletin, the grange pa per, was received with rejoicing by suffragists, as the granges represent over 10,000 people in the state.

HIS FATE TODAY (Continued from page 1) 'a chain of crime perpetrated by Clar ence Darrow, without using one word of the testimony of Bert H. Franklin.' Fredericks addressed the jury this morning. His argument was made al most coldly, without emotion or em bellishment. Fredericks confined himself strictly to the evidence and witnesses who testified in the trial, attempting no flights of oratory. "I am going to look all the witness es who have testified in this case squarely in the face,'" he said, "I don't say that all the witnesses for the de fense in this trial have lied. Neither do I say that all our witnesses have told all the truth. "I don't believe that all these wit nesses, newspaper men and others, who have said Franklin told then Darrow was innocent were perjurers. That Was Franklin's whole attitude. Protecting Darrow, shielding the man who gave him the money . "I don't say Franklin told Darrow everything he had done. Darrow fur nished the money and Franklin the brains and ingenuity. "Watt, Steinman and Pierotte of Venice did not speak the truth when they said Franklin after appearing be fore the grand jury, told them Darrow was innocent. I think Frank E. Wolfe didn't speak the truth. I believe Hawley didn't speak the truth. "When Darrow was "on the witness stand he appeared to be speaking the truth," Fredericks continued, "but you cannot tell. Question an old fellow like Bob Bain and you might be able to tell whether he was telling the truth. Question Darrow for a while and you can't tell whether he is speak ing the truth or not." Fredericks then arraigned George Behm, and declared that Behm's re fusals to' answer questions before the grand jury proved that he came to Los Angeles from Chicago for an illegal purpose to make his nephew, Ortie McManigal, repudiate his confession, which implicated the McNamaras. Behm has testified that Darrow brought him to Los Angeles for that purpose. "Now who got Behm to commit that perjury before the grand jury?" Fred ericks asked. "Darrow says that if he is guilty, that Lecompte Davis is guilty also. Lecompte Davis is not before jou. If there is any evidence against Davis he will be attended to maybe he has been "already. At any rate, it's not before you. Fredericks went back to George Behm's testimony. "Don't you suppose Behm went back to Darrow and told him what happened before the grand jury? Now, there was a legal side to this Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde business. About August 9, about the same time as the Behm incident Darrow hired Franklin to investjgate jury venire men in the McNamara case. Franklin was hired to find out the religion, age, politics, opinion as to the Times dis aster, etc., of each prospective juror. I'm not finding any particular fault Systems and Devices for every kind of business and profession. A 'phone call will bring us, or, bet ter still, come in and view our modren plant. OREGON CITY ENTERPRISE with that Now, let's see if a week went by in August that Darrow did not commit some crime to defeat the ends of justice. Guy Biddinger came to Los Angeles about that time. "Darrow met Biddinger at the Al exandria hotel and offered him $1000 to give up some evidence against the McNamaras in the possession o Wil liam J. Burns. Did Biddinger make up that story? Biddinger was an hon est man and told of Darrow's ways. He might have cheated both Darrow and Burns. "When Darrow . bribed Burns he showed his true character; it showed "Pardon me," interrupted Earl Rog ers, "that outside evidence was not let in to show the character of the de fendant." "That's correct," replied the prose cutor. "It was admitted to show that Darrow had a system of bribery and crime " Rogers again interrupted and Fred ericks was obliged to abandon this line of argument. "Can't you see the similarity be tween the Biddinger affair and those other ones we have talked about?" he asked (he jury. Speaking of Ro'jeit P. Eaila, who was bribed by Franklin to vole for ac quittal in the McNamara case, but who declared on the witness stand that the bribery would not have influ enced his verdict, Fredericks said that if the McNamaras had admitted their guilt in court Bain would still have voted for acquittal. Arguing on the subject of $10,000 the state alleges Darrow got from Olaf Tveitmoe for bribery purposes, Fredericks said: "I had a little dispute with Hor ace Appel on Thursday regarding some evidence about the $10,0000. I have looked up the testimony and find we both were right and both wrong, but : perhaps he was a littla more right than I was." He read a portion of the defendant's testimony. Darrow was on his feet In stantly. "Just a moment," interrupted Dar row. "You haven't read all my testi mony on that point." "I have read all I'm going to, and I've read it fairly!" retorted the dis trict attorney. "You have not," snapped Darrow. "I have and I have listened careful ly to your objection, and I don't be lieve it was made in good faith." Mr? Responsible for so Few Marriages Nowadays AN old bachelor said to . a married man: "No, I shall never marry. I need no one to darn my socks now. I always wear If I wear a hole in heel, toe or sole in four months, the mills give me new ones free" Adams Department Store "I take exception to that," said Dar row. He then stated briefly his testi mony on the subject and the district attorney resumed: John R. Harrington said that Dar row got that $10,000 from Tveitmoe," declared Fredericks, "and " Another interruption. Judge Hutton interrupted what threatened to devel op into a spirited fight between the attorneys and adjourned court for 10 minutes to allow Fredericks to recov er his temper. Fredericks resumed the Harrington testimony. "Harrington told us Darrow got the money from Tveitmoe's bank. Then we know where to look for the source of the money. Doesn't that show Har rington spoke the truth?" "I object,"' said Darrow. "Such is not the evidence." Fredericks said: "I maintain that this shows Harrington has some hon esty in has carcass and would not be a party to jury bribery." Fredericks defended Harrington at some length in a fiery speech, telling of a number of ways in which Har rington might have implicated Dar row had he been so inclined. He read to the jury that portion of Judge Hut toa's instructions regarding the col lateral charges against Darrow." Tho defendant took exception to this pro ceeding, and the court noted his ex ception. ' Taking up the Diekelman affair, Fredericks asserted that Diekelman was a valuable state witness in the McNamara case, having identified James B. McNamara as the "J. B. Bryce" who registered at a local ho tel the day before the Times was blown up. "Bert Hannerstrome Darrow's brother-in-law, took Diekelman from Albuquerque to Chicago. Our detec tive, George Home, brought him back to Los Angeles, where he was wanted in the presentation of our case. "See how they worked on little Diekelman. See how seductive they were. You can't walk up and hit a man in the head and tell him you want him to come over to your side. You have to coax him. They did. Oh, this high minded defendant! They gave Diekelman money to come back to Los Angeles with. Oh, yes! Money money, money! I almost hate money since I came through that trial. I could talk to you for an hour on that Diekelman affair and tell you some thing interesting every minute." 2
