AUSTRIAN ELECTION
THE RESULT IN DOUBT
IL Is Only Certain That Socialists of
Different Varieties Have Made
Gains. ~ III

Vienna. May 1.-THE election held
today throughout Austria under the
extended suffrage for members of the
lower house of parliament passed off
very quietly.
Late tonight it was still impossible
to form a positive opinion concerning
the construction of the new house. be-
cause of the necessity of re-balloting
in a large number of cases. Three
hundred and ninety-nine seats out of
a total of SIG were filled today. The
social democrats attained the great
est success, winning forty-five. seats.
One member of the present cabinet.
Herr Won Marchet. minister of public
instruction, who is German, lost his
seat. while two other ministers will
have to fight for seats in the re-bal-
loting. The leader of the Bismarck
ian Germans. Herr, Schonerer. also
lost his seat. The christian socialists
gained a considerable number of seats.
II is believed that they will have sew
enty representatives in the house.
They retained a majority in Vienna,

MANY PROUD MEN

Have no good reason for being proud
but here is one who is proud with an
excuse for It. -
He is proud Of the reputation he has
made here by selling the best tires that
ever spanned the rim of buggy. carri-
age or bicycle wheel, and he is equally
proud of his record as a repairer who
makes repairs that add to the value OF
a wheel or a buggy. He is now doing
something else to attract attention. He
is selling high grade bicycles at prices
that have never been seen in Arizona
before. no matter how low the tide has
been.

BOTH SIDES
AVOID TEST
IN the Ohio Struggle for
Supremacy
The Taft Managers Dis
pense With Meeting of
State Central Committee.

Columbus. May 14.-For the present
lar pitched battle between the TAFT
and the Foraker-Dick factions in the
state has passed. The fight is still in
progress however and the indications
now are that it will terminate only
with the retirement from public life of
either Foraker or Taft. Today Chair
man Walter Brown of the state GEN.
trail committee called off the meeting
OF that body which was to have been
held tomorrow, by a telegram 10 each
member.
The Foraker people have all along
claimed that the control of the party
machinery was in their hands and 1t
was the urgent desire among many
followers of Taft throughout the state
that the time would come to prove the
accuracy of the assertion. Telephone
calls and telegraph messages rained in
all the morning upon Chairman Brown.
and Arthur /. Vorys, the Taft cam
paign manager, urging that the meet
ing of the state central committee be
held despite the fact that the larger
conference of leaders was not to meet.
Mr.. Brown whose statement of last
night that the conference. If held would
in his opinion unanimously endorse
Taft for presidency placed him square
ly in the secretary's following, pro-
ceeded early today to hold conferences
with prominent republicans. His first
visit. was TO the office Of Governor
Harris with whom he remained an
hour From there he visited the office
of Vorys and conferred two hours.
1t was at this meeting that a decision
was finally reached to call off meet
ing of the committee. Mr.. Brown de-
clared that the call for the conference
having been called off by Senator Dick
its original advocate. the chairman
did not believe he should insist upon
a meeting OF the committee for any
other purpose than that originally de-
signed.
In the meantime the Taft forces
were about to push matters. They
were about to smoke out" the leading
officers of the state and invite them
to indicate where they stand-for Taft
or Foraker. After this meeting the
central committee NAV be called and
the members be given an opportunity
TO declare themselves
The republican organization of the
county today adopted the Taft reso-
lutions. The county committee was
called together for the purpose Of for
mulating instructions to the Columbus
delegates to Dicks conference. When
the conference was called off IL was
decided to endorse Taft anyhow.

THE JURY READY
IN THE RUFF CASE
The Court Declares That the Trial
Must Actually Begin Today.

San Francisco. Nav 1.-THE first
day of the Ruef extortion case with
twelve jurymen in the box brought
only a small audience to Judge
DUNES court this afternoon.
Attorney Johnson for the people filed
an affidavit against a change of venue.
After the affidavit had been submit
ted. Attorney Ach for the defendant
objected to the procedure on the
ground that the affidavit had not been
filed in time. according to the penal
code of the state. The court over
ruled the objection. Ach took excep-
ton and asked the court to adjourn
until tomorrow. An adjournment was
granted after the judge had instructed
the jurors to refrain from talking
about the case, and reading or having
read to them newspaper accounts of
the trial. The judge said the trial
must proceed tomorrow.

1t Will Probably be Secured Out of the
Present Venire
An incidental Statement by the Defense Case
Itself will Drag Along for Weeks and May be for
Months.

Boise. Idaho, May 14.-Substantial
progress toward the formation of a
jury was made on the third day of the
trial. The selection of talesmen halted
three hours over. chairs five and six
but when they we're once filled, pro-
gress was very rapid. At the adjourn
ment, counsel for the defense had
completed the examination and tenn
porarily passed the tenth talesman.
They had but two more to examine in
chief so that with reasonable progress.
the twelfth talesman should be passed
tomorrow in time, to open the way for
the first peremptory challenge. Coun-
sci for the. state still adhere to the be-
lief that the jury will be completed by
Saturday
Clarence Darrow and Edgar Wilson
for the defense divided the work of
examining the talesmen today. Their
questions took the same wide range
outlined by the associate. Richardson.
Wilson added to the long train of con-
nections, readings. influences and as
sociation that might tend to disqualify
jurors, that of membership in the Ida
no militia which at various tines had
been called upon to quell strike disor-
ders. The examination failed to dis
close any military men among the
talesmen.
Darrow devoted much attention to
the possible prejudice of prospective
jurors. He gravely invited each, tales
man to place himself mentally in the
position of the prisoner then honestly
ask himself IL he would care to be
tried by twelve men of minds framed
like his own.
Two of the original panel went out
for bias. and four of the special ven
ire failed for various reasons to quail
ify. Two of the latter swore they We're
so opposed 10 circumstantial evidence
in a capital case that they would re-
fuse to convict. however strong il
might be. Another got off for sickness,
but there remain more than fifty of
the special venire unexamined ready
TO fill vacancies making the chance of
completing the jury from the special
venire very good.
Allen Pride, fifth talesman passed by
both sides testified that Deputy Sher-
iff Roberts who served him with the
summons talked with him about the
case, particularly about Orchard,
whom he had known when a peniten-
tiary guard. An extended searching
examination by Darrow failed to show
that there had been any attempt to
improperly Influence the prospective
juror and while the defense reserved
its rights, it is improbable that the in
cident will be pursued any further.
Talesman d. w. Heney denied un-
der oath that he had told some neigh
bors in South Boise that Haywood and
his associates must be guilty because
they were brought back for trial. This
incident is to be the subject for furth-
er examination tomorrow.
Counsel bristled occasionally in a
manner that indicated the spirit of the
battle to come but continued in har-
mony and were generally courteous
and graceful to one another. The court

REcALcITRANT WITNESSES.
Whom Mr.. Heney Will Have Cited For
Contempt.

San Francisco, May 1.-THE grand
jury met today to take UP the cases of
the four recalcitrant witnesses who re-
fused to testify in connection with the
inquiry into the alleged bribery for the
trolley franchises. The witnesses did
not appear but were represented by an
attorney who stated that they had. re-
ceived legal advice not to testify.
Heney said he would. ask TO have the
witnesses punished for contempt. They
are George Willicut. secretary of the
United Railroads, Attorney William
Abbott and two stenographers.
