In the brief time he was on the : stand : Darrow refuted testimony by George Behm. and Bert Franklin, which bad been considered damaging to his case. The long anticipated appearance of the noted lawyer defendant in the role of witness came after a second futile at tempt by the defense to gain possession of the grand Jury testimony of . A. Tveltmoe, the San Francisco labor leader and a successful effort to secure certain documentary evidence now held by the district attorney. ' After several hours of oratory and the placing on the stand by fee defense of Assistant District Attorney W. J.

Ryan. w Ryan at the time was president of the i" International Association of Bridge and Structural Iron workers, and Rappaport was attorney of the same organization. '! The documents were wanted, according te the defense, for the purpose of re- i freshing the memory of the witness or C to be produced as evidence in support of Ida testimony. -' ' Telle of Look Legal Career. Mr. Darrow gave his age as 65 next April and said he had been practicing law for thirty-six years. He gave a brief history of his various Important employ . inents and an account of his record as a representative of organized labor, de tailing the number of cases in which he . acted as an arbitrator In many of j which labor disputes were referred solely to him by both sides of the controversy. Darrow then told of his reluctance In accepting the McNamara case and the Influence brought to bear upon him by leaders of organised labor to defend the accused dynamiters, which finally re sulted in his coming to Los Angeles. He narrated in chronological order his prep arations for defending the brothers. , Asked about his relations with George Behm, uncle of Ortle McManigal, Dar- row said that Behm and Mrs. McManigal had visited his home where Mrs. McMan igal complained of the manner in which lier husband had been treated by W. J. Burns, the detective. "She told me," continued the defendant, "that Burns, through his agent Malcolm McLaren, had shadowed and followed her every place she went and had asked her to go to Los Angeles, where Burns would provide . her with a . nos.lt?Q.n,. She. did not want to go under those circumstances, but did want to see her husband. "I told her to get what money she could from Burns and I would give her the rest needed to make the trip. She said she wanted her uncle to come with her be cause of her poor health ( and Behm said he would come. McManlgral Hired by Erectors T "I asked Behm to use his influence with McManigal to find out whether the stories printed by the newspapers and purporting to come from him were true and said that if they were not I would defend McManigal with the rest, if de sired. Behm told me at that time that an uncle and a brother of his had seen McManigal in Toledo and that McManigal "had said he was employed by the National Erectors association. I have since heard this from another source." Mr. Darrow said he promised to pay Behm's expenses and for the time he lost from his employment as well as the salary for a man to look after his farm; that he gave him a total of J400, but Behm asked for more and was refused. I had no conversation at any time In reference to getting McManigal, to change his testimony," said Darrow em phatically, "and I never gave him any money for that purpose." Attorney Roberts then brought up the sequence of the defendant's narration. "Did you hear Franklin say," he asked, "that the first time you spoke to him i concerning the bribery of Jurors was on j October 6, and on the succeeding day, October 6, you gave him a check for $1,000 for such purpose?" "Yes." "Was that true?"

Secretary of War Stlmson developed the question when he upset the old policy of the War department of formally approv ing without reference to commercial and other conditions, the bills annually passed by congress for the erection of dams and the utilization .of water powers in streams under the control of the national govern ment. The .secretary Instructed army engineers to report In every case whether the project had any commercial value at present; whether the value was likely to enhance in the future; whether the particular stream was likely to be lm proved at public expense and other such data. He wanted this to enable him to say whether the projectors of the various en terprises should be called upon to share their profits with the people in case they proved lucrative, or whether some of the profits derived from the water 6hould be applied to the improvement of the navigation of the stream at other points. thus relieving the general taxpayer. , Immediately protests came from con' greBsmen who are furthering bills for the development of water powers. The sec retary, backed by President Taft, served an ultimatum on these senators and rep resentatives that no water power bill would be approved by the War depart ment unless in each bill a clause was Inserted looking to the division of the profits with the national government Sugar Refiners Pay Government Big Sum WASHINGTON, July M.-Alleged cus toms frauds at Philadelphia under in vestigation by Secretary of the Treasury MacVeagh and Attorney General Wick- ersham for the last year have been set tled by the payment of nearly 30,000 to the United States government by the sugar refining companies involved.

J. : Rotates Franklin's Testimony. i "I had no conversation with Franklin," j said Darrow. "Nor did I give him any 1 check on October C, for any purpose. I ' gave him a check for 11,000 on October 14, land I think. I gave him the next check I on October 15. The checks were for the t expenses of his office."

You owe it to yourself, before pur chasing any motor car, to see the new "Thirty-Six" with all its striking im provements and added features. Think of a car at $1850, offering all the con veniences and luxuries listed below features heretofore found only on some of ihe most costly automobiles. Electric Lighting, the last touch of luxury, is regular equipment on the 1913 "Thirty-Six." Just touch a switch on the dash and you can light at will, head, tail and side lights. No hunting for matches or gas tank key. No getting out of car in dust or mud. The Gray & Davis System, which we use, is featured on some of the highest priced cars. We believe it is the best lighting system built. , Chalmers Self-Starter-A season's use has proved this the simplest and most effective starting device yet de signed. You simply press a foot but ton on the dash and compressed air, released from a tank beneath the car, turns over the motor until it starts on its own power. No more cranking. No danger. No strain on the motor. Continental Demountable Rims reduce tire troubles to the minimum. Occasional punctures you may have are no longer a serious inconvenience. With demountable rims you can change tires in a few minutes. Turkish Ciwiiona-Luxurious com fort is built into every detail of this car. Cushions are of the Turkish type, 11 inches thick, soft as a down pillow. The Upholstery is of the luxurious, overstuffed type. All seats are wide, stuffed with high grade hair and cov ered with heavy, soft pebble-grained leather. The Chalmers "Thirty-Six" gives you the same restful comfort as a big armchair. New Flush-sided Bodies-The Chal mers "Thirty-Six" has always been known for its "looks." The 1913 model is even more beautiful than in the past. Flush-sided, metal bodies have the graceful bell-shaped back. Dash is of one piece with body. Top of hood and sides of body form one line from radiator to rear seat. Handsome Nickel Trimmings will be regular equipment. Leather lining throughout the car and on the dash 15 Notable Features of 1913 Chalmers "Thirty-Six" Electric Lights Turkish Cushions Eleven-inch Upholstery Nickel Trimmings New Flush-sided Bodies Speedometer Improved Springs Carburetor Chalmers Self-Starter Long Stroke Motor Demountable Rims Increased Wheel Base 4-Forward Speed Transmission Big Wheels and Tires Dual Ignition System Dash Adjustment leaves nothing to scratch or mar.

This, together with the improved springs, still further increas es the easy riding qualities of the car. Big 36 In. x 4 In. Tires carry the car smoothly over the roughest roads. Tho "Thirty-Six" Is over-tired," which means less tire expense. A Reliable Speedometer, jeweled Instrument of the magnetic type, is regular equipment.

With all these noteworthy improvements In the way of added comfort, convenience and beauty, the well-tried mechanical features which made this car such a marked success, have been retained; such features as long stroke motor (4 In. x 6 In.), 4-forward speed transmission, dual Ignition, genuine honeycomb radiator, large brakes, frame and steering connections of extra weight and strength. Afore Than wr, the "Thirty-Six" for 1913 Is an all-round motor car. It has power In abundance, speed, hill-climbing ability and rugged endurance to meet the utmost de mands. First offered to buyers last year, this car has proved the most popular ever sold at the price. The 1913 refinements and Improvements make It even greater value than before. For style, good looks, and reliable service, it Is not surpassed. Chalmers "Six," $2300 For those who desire an even larger car of the 6-cylinder type, we announce the 1913 Chalmers "Six "at the re markable price of $2300 for the 5-pass. model; $2500 for the 7-pass. model. This car is equipped with electric lights, Chalmers self-starter, demountable rims, Turkish cushions, 11-inch upholstery; nickel trimmings; beautiful new-design bodies; big wheels and tires. It Is in every respect the maximum car and a wonderful value. We shall have a Chalmers "Six" you a little later. to show New, Self-Starting "30," 91500 The famous Chalmers "30," with improved motor, Chalmers self-starter, 34 in i 4 in. tires, demountable rims, beautiful new body, offers for 1913 a greater value than ever before. The $1500 price includes also gas lamps and oil lamps, Prest-O-Llte tank, dual Igni tion, full tool equipment. Two body types are offered: 5-passenger touring car, $1500; 4 passenger torpedo, $1500. Built in Chalmers Shops In offering these 1913 Chalmers cars we wish to call particular attention to the fact that Chalmers cars are built almost entirely in Chalmers shops, by Chalmers workmen, and under Chal mers' inspection. , This is not an announcement of anything new, but It is an important fact for the pur chaser of a motor car to consider. Chalmers Company builds Its own motors, transmissions, axles, self-starters, Bteering gear and ether important pirts. Experts will tell you that no car Is built with greater care or more skillful workmanship than the Chal mers; none Is subjected to more careful and painstaking inspection. Backed by Sound Guarantee Chalmers cars are built and guaranteed by a company of the soundest financial standing; a company which maintains a plant covering thirty acres of ground, and has $6,000,000 Invested la its business. The last season, 1912, was "another Chal mers year." It set a new record of Chalmers sales. Forty-three per cent more cars were sold than In the previous season. The reason for this is that people are coming more and more to appreciate quality at a medium price instead of quality at high prices or mere quantity at low prices. We believe that the more automobiles come into use, the greater will be the conviction that it does not pay to save $300 to $500 on the original price and buy something merely because it is offered at a low figure. Medium priced cars of qually notably the Chalmers offer the best value for the money In the long run and you don't have to run very long to find it out. ; Order Now for Early Delivery Now is the time to order your car so that you can get the use of it during the best mo toring season. We urge you to see the 1913 Chalmers "Thirty-Six" at our showrooms. If you look this car over carefully we are sure it will more than bear out our every claim. Again we say, compare Chalmers cars with other cars point by point price by price value " by value. Your verdict Is sure to be favorable to the Chalmers. CHALMERS MOTOR COMPANY. DETROIT. MICH H. E.
