LOS ANGELES. Feb. 27. Clarence S.
Tarrow, the Chicago attorney Indicted
or Jury-bribing, suffered both a loss
and a gain in court proceedings In
volving charges against him today.
The losa was the expected plea of
guilty which Bert Franklin, the former
McNamara detective, entered to i
charge of attempted influencing of i
juror in the trial of James B. Mc
Namara, the dynamiter now serving a
life sentence in San Quentln Penlten
tiary. Franklin's plea was taken a:
proof that he would be the state's chief
witness against Darrow, who directed
the McNamara defense.
The gain was a ruling by presiding
Judge Hutton, of the Superior Court,
that the District Attorney must fur
nish Darrow with a full transcript of
the evidence upon which the grand
jury indictments against him were
based before the court would set the
trial of the accused attorney.
The Franklin case came up first.
Franklin pleaded guilty to having at
tempted to influence Robert F. Bain,
the first juror sworn in the McNamara
case. The charge of having actually
bribed Bain was dismissed and the
trial of Franklin on the accusation of
having attempted to bribe George N
Lockwood, a prospective juror in the.
same case, was postponed for. 90 days.
The time for sentencing him on the
charge to which he pleaded guilty was
set for Friday and he was released on
hla own recognizance, so far as that
case was concerned.
It was reported that his only pun

Urges Attcndaneo at Big
Elks' Convention.
BY SHAD O. KRANTZ.
SEATTLE. Wash.. Feb. 27. (Special.)
What was intended primarily as a
means of advertising the Elks' Na
tional convention in Portland next July
resulted in a further development of
the "New Spirit of the Northwest,"
when 130 Portland Elks and Portland
Admen met at noon today as guests of
the Seattle Ad Club.
While each of the gifted orators that
addressed the enthusiastic gathering
of more than 600 persons emphasized
the Importance of the coming of 60,000
Elks to the Northwest next Summer,
the Portland Rose Festival, the Tacoma
Montomara Festo and the Seattle
Golden Potlatch each came in' for a
large portion of attention.
Tacoma's festival was the only one
of the four events not represented at
the meeting, and when Tom Richard
son, of Portland, mounted a chair and
proposed three rousing cheers for the
llontomara Festo, he met with a re
si onse that indicated plainly the new
spirit that prevails among the cities of
the Northwest.
Sons; and Oratory Heard.
With song and with oratory prob
ably as much song as oratory the
Seattle admen and the Seattle Elks
bade welcome to their Portland guests
and the Portland crowd responded in
kind.
The luncheon of the Ad Club was
but a forerunner of a series of enter
tainments planned for the delight and
the pleasure of the Portland people
throughout the remainder of their stay
in the city. The festivities which be
gan under brilliant auspices early this
morning continued without interrup
tion until the special train departed for
Portland tonight. The Ad Club lunch
eon and automobile trip through Seat
tle's superb boulevard system; a trip
to the Golf Club; a dinner at the Arctic
Club; a night of revelry at the Elks'
Club, and an open-house at the Press
Club followed in such quick succession
as almost to bewilder the visitors.
ieadquarters at the Seattle Hotel
were opened immediately following a
reception at the train by a large Seat
tle committee headed by a brass band.
With purple and white streamers flying
and with a huge banner boldly an
nouncing the dates of the forthcoming
convention borne at the head of the
column, the enthusiastic body of in
vaders marched through the streets
Just as the Seattle people were hurry
ing to their work.
1'roceaMton FormM In Streets.
The procession formed again at 11
o'clock and marched the full length
of First and Second avenues to the
quarters of the Seattle Ad Club, where
rousing reception awaited them.
Jo3eph Blethen, president of the club
and president of the 1912 Potlatch,
omitted routine affairs and at once
turned the meeting over to Judge Wil
liam Hickman Moore, of the Seattle
lodge of Elks.
Welcoming addresses were delivered
in order by George W. Dllling, Mayor -of
Seattle, who proclaimed that police
limitations, so far as the Portland
crowd is concerned, had been with
drawn; Ernest B. Herald, exalted ruler
of the Seattle lodge of Elks, who an
nounced Seattle's candidacy for the
lalo Elks' National reunion, and who
emphasized the importance of encour
aging visitors to cotne to tne tose
estival and the Elks' convention in
Portland, as well as to the Potlatch.
D. Soils Cohen responded to the wel
coming addresses on behalf of the
Portland party. He lauded the "New
Spirit of the Northwest," and told of
the plans being made by the Portland
Elks for entertaining the grand lodge
July. K. K. Kubii. exalted ruler
of Portland lodse. spoke for the Elks
as a patriotic organization, and com
mended the admen of both Portland
and Seattle for the work they are do
ing in promoting interest in such
events as the Rose Festival, the Pot

Northwest Summer Playground.
"We have an opportunity here in the

clared Tom Richardson. "We are doing
a Christian service, a religious service,
when we ask people to desert the hell

and come out here to our Elks' con
