' The stare waa all sef forprorapt i beginning of the trial" at ten o'clock s Monday morning. in some ,. respecis 1 the setting will be unique. The tiny Onandaga courthouse will be the xune. It. has accommodation for barely over 100 persons. But emer gency "bleachers" have been built In 3 ma that Dossibly 250 extra select spec- -ators may be (squeezed in. Admis sion will be by card only. Already tonight there was a scramble for ad mission tickets. , Outside the courtroom railings were erected -d runways divide off the en- ,- trances. Even tonight Jt was evident that political powers or all three big na - tional Darties. not ctily of New Tork . state, but many of nationwide proml - nence, would be brought here for the trial. Skeletons of political closets of more . than a decade are expected. The whole political careers of both Barnes and,; i Roosevelt are expected to be Darea. Witness Iit Secret. . Local counsel for the two principals declined tonight to divulge their lists of witnesses. It is believed, however that Charles F. Murphy, : Tammany leader, who was linked by I Roosevelt '' with Barnes as a boss and malign n- : zluence. would be called. William M. Ivlns, JVew Tork republi can leader and chief counsel for Barnes, Is expected here tomorrow as i William Van Benshoten, alao of New Tork City, who will conduct Col- " onel Roosevelt's defense. Veniremen from whom the jury will be chosen are already here serving for the regular term of court. A special Jury panel for libel cases is not per mitted by state law. . i The trial judge was still in doubt to-5 ' Tlight. He will be either. Justice Wil 3 1 anv S. Anderson or Justice Irvin: C. Hubbs. The former was a classmate t Harvard of Colonel Roosevelt and. therefore, it' i considered probable 'that Justice Hubbs will sit. Duration of the trial depends en tirely upon the Judge's ruling of how far politician history can be gone into on each side. If the-lines are strictly drawn, attorneys for the plaintiff and defendant stated tonight that the trial could be finished within four or five day; But if the doors of politics are opened wide, it Is believed the trial "Will take ten days. - WOODLAWN MEETING ; ASKS RETENTION OF iL STAFF Committee ofiSeven Appoint ed to Appear Before Board ." and Make Plea, v By a standing vote, nearly 800 real dent of the Woodlawn school district , meeting in the school last night un animously went oti record asking that C.

When asked last night aoout in rumored appointment of Mr. Holmes, Mr. Cantine said, however: "There has been no decision m tne matteryet." From other sources it is l earned Mr. Cantine had stated that the change Would be made. Mr. Holmes has been in the employ of the City of Portland as "structural draftsman" for five ana a nan years. Shortly after Mr. Dieck was Installed in office he appointed Mr. Holmes chief of the bureau of highways ana bridges. In order to hold the position. it was necessary for him to pass a civil service examination. , . ' araU4 to Pas Examination. In this examination he failed to Qualify. There was soma controversy over; the matter ,Dtwen;jir. viecu. and the civil service board..

He says he took that asctlon voluntarily. "I had resolved from the first that any discussion of my holding court on these drunks and vagrants would cause me to quit the work at once," said the chief.' . , "I did not take this up because I liked the work. It was at the specific request of Judge Stevenson. He came to me early In the winter and said that k. aa Av.rali.lmAfl vrlth ' urnrlr in lookin? after the" .jitneys and other! automobile violators.

On the other hand. If the judge had to, listen to their stor ies, he couldn't do anything else. I am convinced from my experience that Portland wilK have to have an other municipal court in the near fu ture. One -court simply cannot handle all the work. "Why was my court kept secret, I am 'aeKea. it was simply because. when we admitted all. the policemen and detectives, they fooled around, represented themselves as attorneys. and wanted to represent the prisoners. They tried to make the court a Joke, and It was not, for I had a great many other things to do besides looking af ter these priecners." -. . ., , ..- '; .

It Is proposed to have all of the city otn mlssloners Join in a telegram to he sent to Mayor Blankenburff and the council of Philadelphia urging that the bell be shown In Portland. The Pennsylvania society which has a ; number of former Phlladelphlans for members has already approved the proposed plan and If the Cell compn to Portland the members are to auk that a half holiday he declared that the people may view the Krcat relic. Everyone Should X.end Influence. The plan proposed by Commissioner Bigelow Is in line with suggestion made by H. P. Wilson, night editor and assistant managing editor, of the Philadelphia Record, who hue made fiv trips with 4he Liberty bell. Mr. Wilson arrived -here Friday night on the Steamer Northern Paclflo and ex pects to leave for the east tonight. Mr. Wilson was with the hell when sent to Chicago, Atlanta, - Charleston, Bunker Hill and St. LouIm, and he says he believe that Portland can get the bell here If everyone will boost th plan. "Every business and civic orrnnUa- tlon, In addition to the city officials," said Mr. Wilson, "should do everything in their power to have the bell shown here while on the way to or from the fair. One - cannot imagine the en thuslam the sight of the bell creates. The bell brings out the greatest crowds you ver saw In your life. Bell I Always Guarded. ' fA special train, of course, will be necessary to bring the. boll to the coast. Accompanying the bell is usual ly a committee from the two councils pf Philadelphia. I would suggest that an attempt be made to have the bell routed over the northern route through Portland and then to San Francisco. "A long as the officials of Phila delphia have promised that the bell will be taken to San Franflsco every city between here and Philadelphia should make an effort to get the bell. By the officials and commercial or ganisations in the various cities along th route asking? for the bell 1 be lieve It will be possible to' get action." According to Mr. Wilson the great est care is taken with the famous bell while traveling. The special train carrying th bell travels only during the day and a number of guard keep close watch of it at all times. Stark' of BROUH I ''. Ni.H..lt...",l'l!.l ; vvNS?
