CHARGE OF THE COURT
Grand Jury lastruCted TO Specify DE-
gree in Murder ladiCtmeatS.

1t was nearly 3 O'Clock Monday
afternoon when District Judge Haw-
kins finished delivering his charge
to the grand jury. After the bailiffs
had been sworn in Judge Hawkins
asked them TO remain and hear
his charge to the grand jury. as they
might gain some information that
would be beneficial to them in the
discharge of their duties.
Judge Hawkins departed slightly
from the usual course as prescribed
by the statutes and called attention
only to some of the more important
offenses which the grand jury may
be called upon to investigate. With
reference to homicides the grand
jury was instructed to specify in the
Indictment the degree of murder,
whether first or second degree or
manslaughter. The court asked that
this be done in order to save the
county the expense of summoning
special yenires except in cases OF
murder in the first degree. Hereto
fore the degree of murder has not
been regarded by the grand jury and
all homicide indictments have been
returned for murder
The attention of the grand jury
was called to some of the changes
made in the criminal code by the
last Legislature.
The misdemeanors which had been
made felonies and the felonies re-
duced to misdemeanors were cited.
The court said he did not know OF
gambling house in Ellis county, and
did not believe one existed, but in
case the grand jury investigations
should develop one it was the duty
| of that body to return felony in
such house or permitting his build
ing to be used as gambling house
The pure food law, drinking OF
trains. taking fish by net or sein
and the law protecting game oird
\
were interpreted by the court.

IS BRIBE TAKER
AN ACCOMPLICE
OF BRlBE GIVER
Prosecution In Glass Trial Claims
Not Unless Indictablc For
Same Offense.
(By the Associated Press.D

SAN FRANCISCO, July 1S.--Ar-
guments as to the admissability of
admitting the testimony of ten su-
pervisors in the Glass trial were
heard today and the outlook is that
most of tomorrow will he likewise
consumed.
Incidentally point of much le-
gal interest and criminal importance
is involved; whether bribe taker
is an accomplice of the bribe giver.
The California appellate court has
decided that he is. but the state SUI
preme court never has been called
upon to finally determine the ques-
tion. The supreme courts of other
states have held that he is not.
Judge Lawlor remarked today that
while the determination of the point
is not material to the question of
admissability of evidence of similar
offenses,' he will have to pass upon
it before composing his charge to
the jury.
The contention of the prosecution
is that persons are not accomplices
in the meaning of the law unless
they are indictable for the same Of
fense, and it Is pointed out that in
this state bribe giving Tor offering
is one offense, and brine taking is
distinctly another, each differently
punishable.

OF ATTORNEY TO AD-
DRESS SESSION CAUSES A
GREAT COAIMOTION.
PISTOLS WERE BRANDISHED
United States Deputy Marshal Took
Charge of Meeting and Quiet
Was Restored.
[ BY the Associated Press. J

MUSKOGEE, |. T., July 1S.-An
attempt by Henry Asp. railroad
attorney of Guthrie, |. T., to address
the Republican county convention
here today converted the meeting
into a bowling, fighting mob.
Pistols were brandished, knives
flashed and chairs were welded
right and left, resulting in bruises
and minor injuries to several persons
Officers with drawn pistols, who
threatened TO shoot into the crowd
If the fighting did not stop, failed to
quell the disturbance. United States
Deputy Marshal Bud Ledbetter ap-
peared upon the scene and took
charge of the meeting. Ledbetter,
who is Democrat, saved Asp from
being mobbed and prevented blood
shed. Asp, pale and trembling, was
taken away from the meeting. The
trouble started when the anti-Frantz
and anti-statehood forces, of which
Asp is a member, attempted to ad-
dress the meeting before the organ
ization was perfected. The Frantz
forces were victorious in the test
vote for temporary chairman and the
other element then subsidized and
quiet was restored.

junction with the theatrical syndi-
cate.

PHILADELPHIA, July 1S.-The
parade of the Benevolent and Pro-
tective Order of Elks today was
marked during it's progress by the
prostration from heat of an army of
persons estimated by the police and
hospital authorities at 2.5OO. The
number would have been greater
had it not been for the eventual
downpour of heavy rain. Never
before has there been such a
wholesale prostration of people in
this city. For six hours the police
ambulances. surgeons and the Red
Cross nurses were kept on the run
looking after persons who had col
lapsed under the scorching rays of
the sun. James Rowley. aged Al.

SEVERAL TMPROMPTU CONSULT
TATIONS HELD But SILENCE
MAINTAINED.
PERSISTENT RUMORS OF A SPLIT
San Francisco Operators Refuse to
Accept Advice of Their Ma
tional Committee.
(By the Associated Press. J

SAN FRANCISCO, July 1S.-It
was day of activity in the ranks
of the striking telegraphers at Oak
land. There were committees ap-
pointed and many impromptu con-
sultations held and during the after
noon several operators waited on
the three members of the executive
committee, NJ. J. Reidy, S. J. Kon-
enkamp and J. M. Sullivan, but alb
solute silence was maintained as to
the meeting or the trend of the dis
cussiOns.
1t was evident from the bearing
of the conferees that the situation
was considered serious and there
were hints of increasing friction
among the leaders of the strikers.
The executive committeeman came
in for severe criticism on account of
its reported remarks deprecating the
calling of a strike and it's apparent
lack of sympathy for the local opera
tors.
1t has been rumored persiStently
for the past few days that there was
a serious split between President
Small and his executive committee
men.
The telegraphers, after their
meeting this morning reported that
they had refused to accept the con-
cessions as framed by their national
executive committee. These conces-
sions, they stated, included an offer
of 25 per cent increase in pay on
the part of the Western Union and
acceptance of all but three of the
strikers in their old places. The
Postal, they said, had offered to take
back 80 per cent.
Superintendent Miller today de-
MED that his company had offered
any concessions. or that 1t had
changed it's position in any way.
President Small wired the result
of the meeting to Chicago, but would
not say what it's effect would be and
whether he would go east.
There was nothing new given out
by the managers of either company
today, and the situation from their
side appears unchanged. Labor
commissioner Chas. P. Neill left to-
day for Washington. owing to the
Illness of his wife.

ing to the bottom of the shaft, dis
tance of 100 feet.

Foreman Hoffman were notified of
the accident and steps were imme-
diately taken to recover the body.
w. F. Burns, the partner of the dead
miner, and Hoffman went down into
the shaft and after some little time
succeeded in recovering the body of
their fellow workman. The remains

ing where he held the inquest. Fl.
l.. Brown, c. C. Low, l.. Johnson,
e. A. Cripps, John Kelly and G. f..
