King Frederick's death.
ALFALFA PRODUCING CLOVER SEED DEVELOP
GROUCH ON PART OF EXPECTANT LAWN OWNER
Roland Oliver Is pretty sore. For
n whole week now he has been wear
ing a mournful mask and his morose
ness has been generally remarked,
and many wondered the Why and
wherefore, for he Is ever wont to be
genial and sunny. The cause of his
grouch has not been explained except
to a few friends, but now one of these
latter has lot the secret escape and
the world can know what It is that
can work such a change In the coun
tenance of man. He is sore because,
in sooth, though a grain buyer by pro
fession, he has not yet learned to dis
tinguish between a clover and an al
falfa seed. And thereby hangs the
melancholy tale. '
Some months ago young Oliver pur
chased a residence on Jackson street
and Industriously set to work to make
of his habitat a comfort to the soul
and a Joy to the eye. Quickly the
house was remodelled and then the
industrious householder gave his at
tentlon to the surroundings. A lawn

to the making of this essential Oliver

TEDDY, BRYAN, DEBS-1912
Socialists Leaders Make Slate of Pres
. ldeiitlal Candidates.
Indianapolis, Ind., May I). That
the presi&wtlal candidates in the 1812
national campaign will be Roosevelt,
republican; Bryan, democrat, and
Debs, socialist, is the opinion of lead
ers of the socialist party who today
began a movement in the socialist
national convention here for the nom
ination of Eugene V. Debs as their
national standard bearer with Charles
Edward Russell as a running mate.
There is some opposition to Debts
In the eastern rank and file of dele
gates. The Milwaukee delegation is
fighting Debs and urging the nomina
tion of Mayor Elmer Seldel of that
city.
Some time today was passed in dis
cussing the platform, to be adopted
by the convention.
The plan to place the convention
on record, as against the boy scouts,
probably will cause a fight.
DARROW BRIBERY
TRIAL COMMENCES
Fight to Convict Noted Labor Attor
ney,' Expected to be a Bitter
Battle of Two Months
Los Angeles, Calif., May 15. The
trial of Clarence Darrow, former
chief counsel for the McNamara de
fense, on a charge of bribery In con
nection with that case, was begun to
day before Presiding Judge Hutton,
of the superior court. He is charged
with having attempted to bribe and
bribing George N. Loekwood, a pros
ectlve Juror in the McNamara trial.
The trial is being held in the same
rcom in which the McNamara broth
ers' were sentenced for dynamiting
the Los Angeles Times building.
Darrow appeared to be in excellent
health and was calm when the Indict
ment was road.
Darrow is defended by Earl Rog
ers, the noted criminal attorney and
defender of Patrick Calhoun in the
San Francisco graft prosocutions; al
so Judge Cyrus MeNutt, associate
counsel under Darrow in the Mc
Namara trials, W. II. Dahm and W.
II. Anderson. The state Is represent
ed by District Attorney Fredericks,
Assistant District Attorney W. I. Ford
and Deputy District Attorney Arthur
Keetch.
A long drawn out, hard fought but
tle is expected. Probably there will
be much difficulty in obtaining a
Jury. The trial wll probably last two
months or more.
Sharp tilts between Rogers, coun
sel for Darrow, and Fredericks for the
state marked the opening of the trial.
Rogers questioned Prospective Juor
Bryant if ho knew anything about
National Erectors' association. Fred
ericks objected. After some discus
sion Fredericks withdrew his objec
tion. ter evening he spent with spade in
hand and, then when the soil was
properly prepared, he bought seed and
scattered it broadcast. Carefully he
watchod over it while this seed ger
minated and rooted, pushing their
green sprouts upward. Tho weed that
snowed its face to the sun died aborn
ing. Hose in hand, he administered
to the neds of the growing lawn until
a green sward appeared and his Joy
tnereat was good to behold.
There came a day, however, when
the green sprouts began to develop
and take form. And then it was that
Oliver made a discovery. His ver
dure was not the bed of clover that
he wanted but a thck growth of al
falfa, tempting to the lowing klne
but hardly adapted to lawn purposes.
The dealer from whom he purchas
ed the seed explained that by the
..I I , a . , .
oiue in ms sbck or ciover seed was
another containing the germs of al
falfa, hence the mistake. He volun
teered to give the Ircte man new seed
but that offer hardly compensated
for the weeks of patient toll. The at
falfa has now been dug up and the
soil prepared again, but the heart of
Oliver Is still wrathful and the spirit
ef forgiveness is not in his soul.

to 65,000 Behind Opponent
in Primaries
San Francisco, May 2. With few
precincts missjng it is shown today
that only about one republican vote
of every four cast, was for President
Taft. Taft men admit that Colonel
Roosevelt has a plurality of 45000.
Roosevelt men say it will run up to
65000 and that Roosevelt may have
majority over Taft and La Follette
combined.
President Taft ran strongest in San
Francisco where he ran close to
oosevelt. In other sections he was
badly beaten.
Complete returns from 2100 of 3700
precincts gave Roosevelt 98,091, Taft
51S15 and La Follette 311S6.
Clark has a substantial plurality
over Wilson. Figures from all pre
cincts reporting gave Clark 26,321 and
Wilson 11,974.
Taft supporters, when they found
out that Taft won a victory Jn the
fourth congressional district, a part
of San Francisco, announced they
would disregard the Roosevelt prefer
ential majority in the state and con
test two delegates of this district to
the Chicago convention. They justi
fied their stand on the ground that
the Taft forces of this state never
pledged themselves to abide by a
primary law.
