CALH0UN'S JURY STILL in
NEED OF ONE MAN
Thirty-third Venire of Sixty Men Or
dered to Be in Court Friday.
Attorney Newburgh's
Case Delayed
tBy Associated Press.1

SAN FRANCISCO. April Fifteen
men were put through the slow process
of Interrogation by counsel today in
the effort to complete the jury to try
Patrick Calhoun, president of the
United Railroads, on the bribery
charge resting against him, but all
were discharged from the box because
of fixed opinions as to the guilt or in
nocence of the defendant.
Just a week ago the eleventh juror
was passed to the box, subject to per-
emptory challenge, and of the scores
of veniremen who have tramped in and
out of the enclosure since that time
hardly one has proved acceptable to
counsel on either side, and few chal-
lenges for cause have been resisted.
The thirty-third special venire, COM
posed of sixty taxpayers, was sum-
moned to appear Friday morning by
Judge Lawlor, and the lawyers will
devote their time tomorrow to the re-
naming dozen members of the thirty
second.
Owing to the continued illness of E..
A. s. Blake, chief witness in the case
against A S. Newburgh, the attorney
charged with an attempt to bride a
juror, the trial was not resumed at the
usual hour today. The attorneys for
the defense obtained continuance of
several hours to enable them to decide
upon a course of action.
Blake, who was convicted and sem
fenced for completely in the same af-
fair, has been examined by the prose-
cution, but the defense has not had OPP
portunity to cross examine.

Robley d. Evans and party arrived

hour stay and rendered him reception

The admiral responded with a speech
from. the rear of his car. He expressed
appreciation of the welcome and said
he was enjoying his trip immensely.
He complimented California women on
their beauty, and said word to the
boys, telling them to buck the line hard
in their life battle but always to fight
fairly.
"Never spike the man on second
base" he said. uphold the honor of
women and the flag, and when you
hear either one of them insulted thrash
the offender on the spot"
Rousing cheers greeted the admiraPs
remarks, and little girl presented him
with a huge bouquet of MERGED roses.
With the admiraPs face beaming and
the crowd cheering the train drew out
of the station, bearing the distinguished
party to the Yosemite.

WOMEN CONTINUE TO
SIGN REMONSTRANCE
WILL TELEGRAPH RESULTS TO
WASHINGTON
Those Who Have Charge of Petition
of Protest Against Increased
Tariff on Gloves Push
Their Campaign

The women of Los Angeles are ener-
getically pushing their campaign Of
protest against the increased tariff tax
on gloves provided for in the Payne
tariff bill, and the petition of remon-
STRANGE at the Broadway store is be-
ing signed daily by hundreds of women
who protest against what they term
a prohibitive and uncalled for tariff.
A schedule has been made out which
shows that the Payne tariff, if allowed
by congress, will raise the price of
gloves in dozen lots from SO per cent
to 1913 per cent.
The clubwomen of Los Angeles are
using all their endeavors to bring these
figures to the attention of their sisters
in Los Angeles and to impress upon
them the necessity of signing the petit
ton and of making formidable show
ing-one that will compare favorably
with similar movements in nearly every
city of Importance in the United
States.
The women who have charge of the
petition have signified their intention
of working until the last minute on
the protest and of telegraphing to
Washington the results attained.
The determination of the women of
the United States has aroused the SYM
pathy of the press throughout the
country and many of the representa-
tive newspapers nave joined III llle pIo-
test against the increased tariff on
gloves and hosiery, as outlined in the
Payne tariff bill.
The glove importers of the United
States regard the proposed tax with
surprise and declare that they can find
no reason for an increase in these du-
ties and are confident, if the glove
schedule of the present tariff had been
examined by the ways and means COM
mittee and the facts as to the condi-
lions in the glove industry made clear
to the members of that committee they
would have disregarded the plea for
higher duties.
Many supporters of the Republican
party feel that the majority of the
ways and means committee are in
curing a greater risk than they under
stand in throwing down the glove"
so to speak, to the women of the land.
The women of Los Angeles intend
that their representatives and senators
in Washington will realize their senti-
ment, and for that reason are anxious
that every woman in Los Angeles
should affix her signature to the petit
ton of protest.

FILES CHARGES AGAINST
SWIMMING ASSOCIATION
Southern California Organization Ac-
cused of Unfairness to Press and
of Receiving Money for
Furthering Aquatics

A stormy session of the A. A. U. was
held at the Los Angeles Y. M. c. A.
last night, in which charges were
brought against the Southern Califor-
mia Swimming association, of which Les
Henry is president. These charges were
filed in letter form by Chester Law
renee, local newspaper man. They
accuse the association of being unfair
with their press notices, and that the
association took money for furthering
swimming at the various beaches and
bathing resorts.
That all aquatic sports should be I'M
der the jurisdiction of a committee
composed of members of the A. A. U.
commission was recommended. A COM
mittee of three was appointed, consist
ing of Secretary Franklin, DR.. Beach
and Father Martin, to look into the
matter and report at the next regular
meeting. Henry took the floor and re-
piled to the charges by saying that he
made it possible by fair business means
to foster the swimming situation and
to bring athletes to Los Angeles from
San Diego and San Francisco.
The gymnasium committee reported
very favorably on the interschola
swimming events, and letters were
ceived from five teams, the Los =
geles and Polytechnic high schools, =
Angeles and Long Beach Y. NJ G.. AS
and the TurnYerein Germania. Acting
Chairman Braden stated that the
northern teams were in favor of en-
tering, but owing to the fire of 1906 the
swimming pools could not be con-
structed in time for the teams to COM
pete.
The registration committee turned
down the application of George Freeth
for reinstatement, it being stated in
letter from Mr.. Culver of Santa Mon
MICA that Freeth had taken compensa-
ton while acting in the position of life
saver at Venice and also that he re-
ceived a compensation for saving the
lives of two Japanese when their boat
upset at Venice.
A letter was read from President
PieXotto of San Francisco stating that
it was his wish to see the present Or
ganization increased to twelve to form
a separate body. The letter was re-
ferred to Professor Summers of Po-
mona college, with a recommendation
that steps be taken in regard to this
movement. Other business of unim-
portance was discussed.

THEATER MANAGERS FEAR

Convention of Western Men at Chi
cage Disturbed by Rumors
of Struggle

CHICAGO, April 7.-Rumors of a
theatrical war between the Shuberts
and Klaw & Erlanger are agitating the
convention of western theater man
ayers, now in session here.
The association virtually includes all
the "one-night stand" theaters from
Indiana to the Pacific coast. About
200 managers and owners, each operat-
ing from one to forty theaters, are
present.
1t is feared that a struggle between
the big companies will result in the
small theaters being compelled to use
the plays OF one or the other, but not
of both.
The convention has suspended any
aggressive tactics pending further in
formation.
