DISTRICT
ATT0RI1EY
JUDGE'S REFUSAL TO DISMISS IN
DICTMENT PASSES MATTER CP
TO FREDERICKS TO SAY WHETH
ER HE WILL TRY DARROW
AGAIN.
Los Angeles, Cal., Aug. 26. With
District Attorney John D. Fredericks
today rests the decision as to whether
Clarence S. Darrow will be brought to
trial on a charge of bribing Robert F.
Bain, a Juror In the McNamara trial.
Following the dental of Superior
Judge Willis, of the defense's motion
to dismiss the indictment pending
against the Chicago attorney, the mat
ter rests solely with Fredericks, and
speculations are rife as to his prob
able action.
Judge Willis continued the case un
til tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock to
be set for trial. It Is regarded as
most probable that Fredericks will at
that time ask for a further continu
ance or urge a sufficient time before
trial to permit him to recuperate fully
from an Illness which followed the
first Darrow trial.
Rogers also Is suffering from the
strain of the first trial. Darrow's
counsel today said that he Is yet un
decided whether to ask for an early
trial, fearing that he will be unable to
continue his work at least for a month.
Fredericks did not appear In court to
day. The state was represented by
Deputy Hammond, of the district at
torney's office.
Willis, who is presiding judge of the
Los Angeles county superior court,
refused to verify a report that a Judge
from another county will be called to
sit If the case goes to trial. It Is gen
erally believed that this will be done.
FILED CERTIFICATE
THAT TAFT IS NOMINATED
Secretary of State Olcott today re
ceived from the secretary of the Na
tional Republican Central committee
a certified copy of the nomination of
William H. Taft for president, at the
national convention, and the nomina

any party has seen fit to file the cer
tificate of nomination of a candidate
for president with the secretary of
state. There Is no law requiring that
such a paper be filed, but the secre
tary of state has decided to file it
Harrow 31 list Stand Trial,
Los AngcleB, Aug. 26. Presid
ing Judge Willis, of the Los An
geles county superior court today
denied the motion of the Darrow
defense to dismiss an indictment
specifically charging Clarence S.
Darrow with bribing Robert F.
Bain, a juror in the McNmuara
trial.
The case then was continued
until 10 o'clock tomorrow morn
ing to be set for trial.

As the dato of the opening of the
fair approaches tho prospects for a
record-breaker camp crowd Increato,
Mrs. E. E.' Morgan, of Portland, ar
rived In camp last night and will re
main until the close of the fair. She
will be found at No. 30 on the cottage
row.
J. F. Davidson, of Rlckreall, who
has been at the grounds for several
months, left for Sclo yesterday with
his family. They have been in the
Beckwith cottage at No. 32 Downing
avenue.
Will pay Con Homyer's fine if he
will boot from tho grounds the jack
ass who has been painting some build
ings on the camp ground. A vlning
rosebush that I have been carefully
training for three years over a certain
building in Moores avenue otherwise
known as the gent's toilet was cut
down by this highbinder In the state's
employ. He beautified the toilet on
the outside by a coat of paint, but left
the Inside looking as If the hogs had
wallowed there. If I knew 'the fel
low's name It would appear In this
bulletin. He showed as fnuch sense
as did one of the farmers at the
grounds some years ago who cut down
the hop vines that I had trained over
some of the buildings. It Is such ac
tions as these that causes a man to
break the commandment Thou Shalt
Not Swear.
Since the dog show has been de
clared off owing to the war on dogs in
Portland, it stands every dog owner
on the camp grounds to send home his
dog. People are not In a humor to put
up with the dog nuisance among the
campers. True, a dog Is man's best
friend, but there are men who will
poison a dog. A howling dog on these
grounds -will be apt to be considered
as mad, and the first dog that breaks
into a neighbor's camp will bo apt to
be considered as the Chinaman said,
"Klazle," and be killed on the spot.
Take a friend's advice, and keep your
dog at home this year.
All persons who have engaged
camping space are requested to notify
the superintendent of the grounds
whether or not they are coming. Come
early and avoid being crowded, Mon
day of the fair, September 2, Is to be
the biggest first day In the history of
the Oregon State Fair. Come early.
Three cars of Arizona cattle will be
unloaded on the camp grounds this
forenoon. They are prize winners, and
Oregonians will have to hustle la or
der to successfully compete with the
cattle from this new state.
Who knows the address of Johnnie
Klrkland. Three people wish to rent
his cottage.
Miss Pauline Looney, of Jefferson,
will pitch tent Monday.
To Be Tried Sept 10.
Detroit, Mich., Aug. 26. Nine of the
seventeen aldermen arrested Saturday
charged with conspiracy to accept
bribes were arraigned here today and
their hearings set for September 10.
Others will be arraigned later in
the day.

Work on the Derby-Lafky building
has progressed so satisfactorily that
by September 1 the part of the build

Calef Brothers, of Portland, will be
ready fqr occupancy. Messrs. Erb &
Van Patton, the contractors, will
crowd the work on the remainder of

This building, three stories, and

does, on the corner of Court and High
just north of the court house, presents
a very attractive appearance.
