OUTLOOK GOOD FOR DARROW
District Attorney Not Confident of
'Conviction.
WILL TRY HIM IN NEW CASES
Session Yesterday One of the Moat
Tnmnltaons Since Beginning; of
Trial -Attorneys Wrangle
Continually.
LOS ANGELES, Cal., June 9.-Obvi-ously
annoyed by the course of eventa
yesterday in the trial of Clarence S. D ar
row for alleged Jury bribery in the Mc
Namara case, District Attorney John D
Fredericks let fall a hint this afternoon
that the state was not so confident of
conviction In the present case and mad';
a statement to the effect that If a ver
dict of jgullty was not obtained tha pros
ecution 'would be continued on ' further
charges. ' ' "
"Win or lose," said Fredericks, "we
are going to keep on trying Darrow, ant!
the Only thing that can stop us Is a plea
of guilty. The evidence thus far adduced
In the 'present trial has provided facts
aufficient for the returning of at leait
four other Indictments for the corruption
of Jurors and It is probable that thea
other Indictments will be returned, but
not, however, until the present trial is
completed."
Darrow Is now-being tried for the al
leged bribery of George N. Lockwood,
whose name was drawn as a McNamara
Juor. Another Indictment for the al
leged bribery of Robert F. Bain, the
first Juror sworn to try James B. Mc
Namara, ' the 'Confessed dynamiter, is
ponding against him. Fredericks' state
ment waa made at the end of today's
brief, but exciting session.
Dlsantlsfled with Trial.
The district attorney has made no se
cret of his dissatisfaction with the man
ner In which the present trial has-been
progressing. He Intimated In open court
this morning that the defense was being
given more latitude In its conduct of the
case than was provided for by the rules
of evidence.
During one of the frequent tilts be
tween counsel Fredericks charged mis
conduct by one of the opposing attorneys,
"that Is," he remarked, sarcastically, "if
there Is such a thing aa misconduct on
the part of an attorney for the defense.'
The court Ignored the remark.
The session today waa one of the most
tumultuous since the beginning of the
trial. Opposing counsel wrangled almost
continually and the frequent outbursts
of the star witness for the state,. Bert
H. Franklin, during a racking examina
tion by Attorney H. H. Appel, gave tense
ness to the proceedings.
Three questions only were asked by
District Attorney Fredericks before ad
journment ;
"Who paid Henry Gage to defend you
when you were arrested for bribing a
Juror?" he asked.
"I don't know."
' " Whoi hired him to defend you?"
"I don't know."
"Did you ever discus a with Mr. Gage
any of tho facts or evidence connected
with the charge against you?1'
"I did not."
Uproar In f.oort Room,
Pandemonium reigned for a time loon
after the trial was resumed today, when
four attorneys, the Judge and the witness
.were,, trying;' io make themselves heard
at the same time.
Bert H. Franklin, tne state's witness,
was on the stand undergoing a par
t)Wlltfyse,v"!"'e kM'lng by Attorney H.
ApV'' 01 the' defense and had given a
sharp retort
"Judge Hutton, addressing the witness.
Informed him that his remarks and
language were improper and . a reflec
tion upon counsel. Assistant District At
torney : Ford interrupted the court
Shouting that he took, exceptions to the
court's remark,-' ,
Roger and Appel of the defense and
District Attorney Ford Joined tha at
torney and above the din could be
hoard the-, yolca of the witness en
deavoring to assure the court that he
meant no offense to counsel.
Judge Hutton finally quieted the up
roar,! saying the court waa perfectly
able to control the situation. Tha de
fense brought ' out , an admission by
Franklin that he had protested the In
nocence of Darrow after tie had made
his confession to the prosecution and
testified before the grand Jury.

Action on Wisconsin and North Da
kota Thought to Be Vital.
CHICAGO. June 9. The republican na
tional committee will resume tomorrow
morning its consideration of the large
number of contests for places an the
temprorary roll of the republican" na
tional convention which is to convene
in the Colliseum at noon on Tueaday of
next week. Upon the results of Its de
liberations depends to a great extent the
control . of the convention, and, there
fore, the nominations which it will make
for the offices of president arid vice
preaident of the United States, to say
nothing of the lesser matters of the or
ganization of the convention ' and the
text of the platform.
The contests in Alabama, Arkansas
Florida and Georgia, which were decided
last week, added a total of seventy-two
delegates to the strength credited to
Taft Whether It foretold a "ateam
roller" policy of "giving tho whole busi
ness to Taft," as the Roosevelt ad
herents now claim, or whether the con
tests still to be decided will give some
to Taft and some to Roosevelt is a mat
ter' of much speculation and bitter in
terchange. -" , '
It seemed likely tonight that the In
diana cases. Involving twelve delegates
fourt at-large and two each In the First,
Third, Fourth and Thirteenth congres
sional districts would . be taken up 'first
when the -committee meets at 10 a. m;,
but the cases from Arizona (six dele-gates-at-large)
and from the Fourth dis
trict of California (two delegates), which
were postponed, may be considered be
fore Indiana.
Vital (taestlona Involved.
The vital importance of the decisions
of the national eommlttee upon the con
testa is apparent to anyone studying the
lists of delegations. Such study In
cidentally discloses the great weight
which may attach to the twenty-six dele-
gates from - Wisconsin and ten from
North Dakota, Instructed for La Follette
and the ten from Iowa, Instructed for
Cummins.
There Is no reconciling the conflicting
claims of the Taft and Roosevelt man
agers . regarding the respective strength
of their following; each Is figuring Into
his -tables delegations emphatically
claimed by the other on the strength of
convention endorsements, allegeed
pledges, and other mora or less sub
stantial grounds.
Reasonably dependable, however, seem
the figures collated by the Associatedd
Press, .from which can, be derived what
may be described as the "bare bones" of
the situation. These, figures, which are
unofficial, and by no means guaranteed,
are as followa:

LINCOLN, Neb., June 9.-(Spccial )
The first rural high school to be estab
lished in western Nebraska will be the
result of a meeting of the trustees of
three school districts In Lowell precinct
In Kearney county. The law regarding
the establishment of rural high schools

It has resulted in the establishment
of but one school up to the present time,
so It Is reported by the state superin
tendent's office. '
The state superintendent also reports
that over 700 students are enrolled at the
Kearney State Normal school, the great
est number ever reporting at thla time
of the year. At Chadron the enrollment
Is over 200 and at Peru Is the largest
In the history of the school.
Deputy State Superintendent Elliott Is
attending the Basaett county institute
and will visit the normal schools at Val
entine and O'Neill before returning to
Lincoln.
The supreme court adjourned for the

will be handed down during the coming
week.
The examination for admission to prac
tice, law will be held next Tuesday at

Whether to Swat.
"To swat or not to awat". Is the ques
tion, which is . agitating the minds of
people who live In the capital city of
Nebraska- A. week or so ago the agita
tors of cleanliness offered large prizes
to those who would swat the, most flies.
For a week the run on the hardware
stores threatened to make a famine on
paddles and other ordnance necessary to
the warfare on the fly family, .when the
white flag of truce was run up and
peace declared for the reason that there
were no files to swat. Secretary Whltteii
of the Commercial club, who had been
appointed chief fly counter and awarder
of prises, Is somewhat disappointed at
the condition of things regarding: the
absence of flies and has cancelled the
contract for the purchase of a new fly
counter Just placed on the market.

Reducing the Cost of Living
In these days of soaring food, prices it
behooves the careful housekeeper to pick
those foods that give the most nourish
ment in proportion to their cost . 'With
the prices of meats beyond the reach of
a table allowance that once proved suf
ficient, one must choose something that
provides meat "nourishment without meat
cost. 1 '
That food Is found In Faust Spaghetti. )
r aust spagnutti is maae irom ncn, glu
tinous Durum wheat. It . provides ae
much nourishment as many, times its
value in meat or eggs. A 5c package of
Faust Spaghetti will provide a generous,
helping to five persons. You. cannot find
a cheaper food, nor a better food nor a
food that Is so universally enjoyed. Many
thrifty housewives who serve spaghetti
in some font.' very often, make it th
chief dish for dinner once a week and
they say that It does not only prove econ
omical but also receives the hearty ap
proval of their families. Write f6r our free

gray hairs appear it i a sign that

for help. Gray hair, dull, lifeless hair, or
hair that is falling out,' is not necessarily
a sign of advancing age, for there are
thousands of elderly people with perfect
heads of hair without a single streak of

When gray hairs come, or . when the
hair seems to be lifeless or dead, some
good, reliable hair-restoring treatment
should be resorted to at once. Specialists
say that one of the best preparations to
use Is the old-fashioned "eage tea" which
our grandparents used. The best prepara
tion of this kind Is Wyeth's Sage and Sul
phur Hair Remedy, a preparation of do
mestic sage and sulphur, scientifically
compounded with later discovered hair
tonics and stimulants, the whole mixture '
being carefully balanced and tested by
experts.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Is clean and
wholesome and perfectly harmless. It re '
freshes dry, parched hair, removea dan
druff and gradually restores faded or 1
gray hair to Its natural color. 1
Don't delay another minute. Start using
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur at once and ;
see what a difference a few days' treat
ment will make W your hair.
This preparation Is offered to the publlo
at fifty cents a bottle, and Is recom
