CHANGEOF VENUE DENIED Notorious Case Now on Trial in San l-Yaiicl-svo JudRO Excuses Jurors From Reliiff Locked Up Took Many Veniremen to Make Up Jury. SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 7. The Diggs Jury is completed. It consists of ten bachelors and two married men. Judge Van Fleet after Impressing them with the Importance of the case announced he was not going to order them locked up. The trial resumed thla afternoon. The Jury consists of Louis Block, pa per manufacturer; E. A. Chrlstensen, lumberman; J. H. Flynn, lithographer; P. S. Llnqulst, merchant; Arthur Goodall, A. H. Dana, retired express men; Frank Esmond, retired merch ant; William Bliss, mining capitalist; Lester Herrick, accountant; George M. Meussdorffer, hatter; G. V. Delorme, .bookkeeper; A. Dunker, liquor dealer. Strenuous attempts on the part of the defense to have the trial of Diggs, accused of violating the Mann white slave act, transferred to Sacramento, were frustrated yesterday when Judge Van Fleet sitting In the first division of the United States district court, de nled the motion of Attorney Farshall W'oodworth, for the defense, for a change of venue. Immediately following the denial of Woodwopth's motion, the impanel ment of the Jury was begun. Otjly 27 names remained out of the 100 turn moned on the regular term venire, all the others having been excused either for the whole or a portion of the three months' term. When court adjourned at noon the box was filled with 12 of the 27 men remaining on the panel, not one of whom had been passed. More than an hour of the morning session was consumed with the hear ing of excuses by the veniremen, scores of whom were excused on ac count of Interference with business, family Illness, official connection with the United States government and other reasons. After the hearing of excuses, Attor new Woodworth moved that the trial of Diggs be transferred to Sacramento, Teading a lengthy affidavit made by Diffgs in support of his motion. 'The affidavit set forth that the de fendant invoked his constitutional right to be tried where the alleged of fense was charged In the Indictment to have been committed. It said that Dlgg'a home, relatives and friends were all In Sacramenta and that it would seriously hinder and embarrass his defense to try him In San Fran cisco.

' PARIS MEXICANS OBJECT TO MEDIATION PARIS, Aug. 7.

RADER MAKES BOW IN BIG BRUSH BY EXTRA BASE DRIVE Don Rader, former Pendleton play er who left peveral weeks agb to Join the .Chicago White Sox, made his for mal deput in the big leagues yester day and It was just the kind that tickles all of his friends here. He re placed Larry Chappelle in left field In the third Inning, got two putouts in two chances, faced the pitcher twice, and got the only extra-base hit of tho game which was one of three hits Chicago got off of the Washing ton pitchers. Tt was a two-base blow and he finished the circuit for one of the two scores his team made. All In all ,hls showing was a pretty cred itable one for a youngster who has never played In circles higher than Class D. His opportunity to get In the game came when Chappelle and Collins col lided In the second inning while going after Milan's Texas leaguer back of second. Collins was knocked uncon scious and Chapelle was so badly Jar red that he was pulled from the game in the next Inning and replaced by the Pendleton boy. Walter John eon, the great speed merchant, twirl ed the first for innings for Wtshlng ton, but, with his victory assured he was taken out and replaced by Gallia who allowed but two hits in five In nings, one of which was Rader's dou ble. , LEAGUE WAS OUT TO.

Major- FACT THAT CONSTITUTIONALISTS WANT ARMS FROM THIS COUNTRY MAY CAUSE HUERTA TO 8E GOOD (By John Nevln.) WASHINGTON, Aug. 7. If Huerta Insists that Llnd the president's em issary Is persona-non-grata, and re fuses to consider his suggestions, this will not in Itself mean armpd intpr- ention in Mexico. This Is made da in by administration officials. If that, however, should be developed as the Huertas position, it Is probable the embargo on the Mexican insurgents Importing arms from the United States will immediately be raised. A ma jority of the senate favors such ac tion. Huerta's official declaration not to receive Llnd unless the United States recognizes him as president Is not taken seriously by the president or Bryan. The most serious dancer in the situation la that personal in sults or violence may be offered Und. If so the sternest measures will Im mediately follow.

Superintendent Frank Hays of the waterworks, recommended to the city last evening that standpipos be installed on the main streets for the use of the street flusher, explaining that the mechanism of a hydrant was extremely delicate and that constant use soon renders it unserviceable. Since the city began operating the street flusher, he said, the water de partment had repaired seven of these hydrants at a cost of from five to seven dollars each. The matter was referred to the fire and water com mittee. Superintendent Hays also took oc casion to correct a statement made by a local paper to the effect that the pumps at the water plant were not started until after one o'clock on the night of the fire. "All three of the pumps operate 24 hours every day," he said, "and all three were In oper ation when tho fire broke out " Roeemncles for Streets.
