This will be the third Of the great graft
trials Glass will be represented at the

In way the trial of Glass will be al
most as important as the trial of Schmitz:
The prosecution will have to prove that

payment of money, but that he actually
drew a check for the amount Halsey
turned over to the supervisors.
All the witnesses were In court To-Day.
The supervisors were scattered through
the auditorium in which Judge Lawlor
holds court. ,

SAN FRANCISCO, June 2.-The exam
ination of grand jurors was begun tnls
morning before Superior Judge Lawlor by
the attorneys for three groups of accused
millionaires. The court insisted for the
purpose of saving time that the examina-
tions should be made jointly, as the mo-

identical issues and will be supported, II

1t was agreed that Attorney A. A. Moore,

that Attorney McEnerny, representing
Eugene de Saba, John Martin and Fred

Attorney T. C. Coogan. representing Louis

senting Mayor Schmitz, should ask such
additional questions as they desired.
Grand Juror Frank j. Sanborn was ex-
amined at some length, but the questions
brought out nothing of Importance to the
case.
After Sanborn had been examined Secre-
tary Burnett of the grand jury was called
and questioned regarding the voting on
the indictments. He testified that he did
not keep a record on his minutes of vote
on each separate Indictment. The defense
seemed to regard this admission as of
some Importance. The attorneys said that
they did not need any luncheon, SO the
examination was continued without inter-
ruption for the rest of the afternoon.

DENVER, June 21.-Duncan Mcdonald
and Frank Harrington, messengers from
the United Mine Workers of Illinois, adj
dressed the convention of the Western
Federation of Miners today. The opinion
expressed by Mr.. Mcdonald that the
arraignment of the Federation official at
Boise had done more to consolidate and
organize the wage workers of the coun-
try than any combination of circum-
stances in times past was applauded.
He stated that labor unions should es-
tablish great daily papers, and more un-
fair reports of the Boise trial will prob
ably result in three Chicago papers being
placed on the unfair list.
A vote of thanks was given the visitors
by the convention.
The only matter before the convention
this morning was the further discussion
of the proposed amendment to the pre-
amble of the constitution, which was
postponed yesterday.
The speeches today were much more
temperate in tone than those made yes-
terday. No vote had been reached when
the morning session adjourned.

Miss Georgia Nadean Martin was laid to

years of earnest work with her father,

for the big airship which experts said
seemed to have solved the problem of

Mr.. Martin, known all over Iowa, his old
home, as wizard with tools, had about
concluded to build new airship when his
daughter sickened. The end came this
week when an internal hemorrhage which
three surgeons failed to stop caused her
death. She had long been delicate, but
buoyed up by the desire to ascend in the
airship her father made and in his
triumph she had nursed her strength for
this effort.
