TUESDAY, JULY I REMOVAL SALE ' -rr-rsn nPrtrnilin MISS CROCKER HAS POLICE BODY-GUARD On Wedding Eve Precautions Are Taken and None Are Allowed Near Home. REPORTERS TO BE BARRED Letters Said to Have Conveyed Threats to Heiress Moving Picture Men to Take Films of Elaborate Ceremonj-. SAN FRANCISCO, July 15. (Special.) While there Is no corroboration of the report that Miss Jennie Crocker, the millionaire heiress who is to be married tomorrow, has received threat ening letters. It Is a fact that she is at tended by a body-guard of detectives and that elaborate precautions have been taken to protect guests. The grounds of Uplands. Miss Crock er's country place at Hlllsboro, are guarded and not even tradesmen are allowed to approach the house. Every one Is halted at the gates and unless a pass Is forthcoming no one secures en trance. Miss Crocker refuses to talk about these precautions, but the gossip of the millionaire colony of Hlllsboro is that she has received several threat ening letters from cranks and is not taking any chances. Her father. Colonel Fred Crocker, had much antagonism because of his "pub-lic-be-damned'" attitude and his great wealth, derived from the Southern Pacific Company. Miss Crocker has Issued only 300 Invitations for her wedding and strict orders have been given to permit no one to enter the grounds without an invitation. It is even said that no re porters will be admitted. This is in striking contrast to the fact that a moving picture company has been al lowed to take views of the wedding at the church and of the reception and dinner dance on the grounds which will follow. Whether these views will be exhibited, like Paul Kalney's hunting pictures, remains to be seen. Besides the exquisite color scheme of pink lavender orchids in the church decorations that will be recorded by the machine, the other details shown will be the wonderful wedding gown of the bride, which her aunt, Mrs. Charles F. Alexander, brought with her from Paris last week, and which is said to be as costly and beautiful as the one worn by Vivien Gould when she became the bride of Lord Decles. She will be given away by her brother, Templeton Crocker, and her bridal at tendants will be Mrs. Walter Martin, who will be matron of honor, and Har riet and Janetta Alexander, of New Tork: Julia Langhorne and Marjorle Josselyn, who will act as bridesmaids. Harold Fitsgerald. of New York, will be best man for Malcolm Whitman. TIMBER INDUSTRY LOOMS Klamath Region Business Shows Cp In Fine Condition This Year. KLAMATH FALLS. Or.. July 16. (Special.)

DETAILS ARE GIVEN OUT One Impeachment Witness for De fense In Darrow Trial Relates How He Was Told Some One Else Would Suffer. LOS ANGELES. July 15. Bert H. Franklin, confessed bribe giver, talked very freely about his offenses, ac cording to a half-dozen witnesses who took the stand for the defense in the bribery trial of Clarence S. Darrow today. In all his numerous quotations he was emphatic In his avowals of D ar row's innocence, according to the same witnesses, all of whom were called to attack the veracity of Franklin, who, while on the stand, had denied mak ing such an assertion. Mr. Darrow took a leading part in conducting his case and on several occasions he engaged in verbal clashes with the state forces. Twice he ac cused the District Attorney of trying to win through trickery. Pirotte Closely Examined. P. J. Pirotte. a postmaster at the suburb of Venice, was the most im portant witness of the day and he was subjected to a searching cross- examination by Assistant District At torney Ford, which had not been con cluded at adjournment time. Pirotte testified to having held sev eral conversations with Franklin in which the latter had said Darrow nev er had given him the money with which to bribe Juror Lockwood. The witness said he was told by Franklin that money was being used that the attorneys for the McNamara defense knew nothing about. Frank lin, according to the witness, also said that he had not sent any message to Darrow the morning of his arrest, and that if any one called him on the telephone to ask him to go to the scene of Franklin's arrest. It was De tective Browne of the District At torney's office. Pirotte testified that Franklin naa told him at another meeting that he was not worried about the outcome of the charges against him. "They don t want me; they are alter Darrow," he told the witness. 'He said that he had pleaded guilty to the charge of bribing Juror Bain," said Pirotte. "It had not cost him anything, as the state had paid his fine, but they were holding the i.oca wood case over him so that he would testify against Darrow. "Franklin told me that r-reaencas was under great political obligations to him." said the witness, "because once when political enemies were trying to get some documents connected with some trouble Fredericks was in some years ago. Franklin, who was in the United States Marshal's office, had se creted them." Adam Dixon Warner, a former at torney and lecturer, testified that Franklin had said to him In the prog ress of the McNamara case: "I am go ing to win this lawsuit myself, mere is an angle to this that Darrow nor anyone else knows anything about." He was not cross-examined. Alleged Boast Related. Josenh Muserove. another impeach ment witness, said Franklin had told him: "I will get out of this all right. I am playing the cards and before I go to the penitentiary I will put it on someone else." Other witnesses who testified today, were Tom L. Johnson, an attorney who acted as intermediary between Franklin and the District Attorney's office, and Carl F. White, a news paperman, both of whom testified that Franklin in conversations with them had absolved the defendant of any complicity In the alleged Jury brib ing.

EMERGENCY CLAUSE GOES Salem Passes Act Granting Southern Pacific-AVelch Franchise. SALEM. Or., July 15. (Special.) With Councilman Jones casting the only dissenting vote, the franchise for the Welch lines here, now owned by the Southern Pacific, went through with an emergency clause attached. A fight was put on on the emergency clause by outsiders. R. A. Harris, state printing expert, being one oi tne lead ers. It is now the plan of Harris and his associates to call a mass meeting at the earliest possible moment and aeitate the question o fcirculating re ran netitlons asainst all of the mem bers of the City Council who voted for the bill. It is possible that Mayor Lachmund will veto the franchise for other rea sons, but just what the Mayor's atti tude in that regard will be is not known definitely. Harris is convinced that the members of the Council who voted for the franchise should be made the sublect of recall petitions. He de clares fiat he is not opposed to the franchise and is not arguing on the merits of that document, but his entire fiarht Is on the emergency clause. He says no emergency exists and that when the Couacilmen voted that an emergency did exist, they cast their votes for a move to deprice the people of their referendum privilege and con seauently. he assumes the stand that they should not continue to hold their public office.
