Public interest in the trial Of Pat
rick Calhoun. which has alternately
waxed and waned as the courtroom
procedure during the five long months
Of struggle has been sensational or
dull. will reach its climax during the
next three or four days The end Of
one Of the greatest criminal trials ever
held on the Pacific coast is at hand,
and within the next so hours. probably
the summing UP Of the great mass of
testimony will be made by the attor-
neys and the fate OF the president of
the United Railroads will be in the
hands Of the jury.
To almost as great an extent as in
the issue involved in the trial itself
noes general interest center in the per-
sOnality of the attorneys who are to
argue the cases before the jury, for
upon their efforts must largely depend
the ultimate result The evidence upon
which the verdict must rest is all be
fore the jury. but two months have
been consumed in presenting the testi-
mony and the jurors can not be pre-
sumed TO have carried all the details
OF the case in their minds.
ARGUMENTS BEGIN TO-DAY
Assistant District Attorney John
C'Gars viii open the argument for the
people at $50 o'clock this morning
Just how long he will speak is difficult
TO determine. inasmuch as no time
limit has been set, but il is expected
that his speech will not take more
than three or four hours. He will
devote his remarks TO summing up the
mass OF evidence which has been Of
fered during the trial putting it into
= coherent form and pointing out the
logical conclusions. So lengthy has
been the case that much of what was
uttered on the witness stand during
the earlier part OF the trial has been
forgotten, or, at least. its significance
in relation to what followed lost. 1t
viii be O'Gara's dHty TO gather the
various ends and from them piece out
the whole.
The two attorneys for the defense
who. up to the present, have played
P leading part in the case, viii be
neither Earl Rogers nor Stanley Moore
being slated 10 argue. This duty will
fall upon the shoulders of the elder
Moore and Attorney Alexander c.
King. The latter will answer the
speech made by OGara. and the clos
ing argument for the defense will be
made by Moore.
HENEY TO CLOSE CASE
Francis J. Heney will make the final
argument in the case. Apart from re-
plying 10 the attorneys for the de-
fense he viii accentuate the points
made by O'Gara-
While there is no saying just when
the four attorneys viii have done with
their arguments, it is expected that it
viii be some time Wednesday and that
the jury viii retire on the afternoon
OF that day to determine the guilt or
innocence of Patrick Calhoun.
AS in former graft cases big crowds
are expected to apply for admission.
and the police have made the usual
arrangements for maintaining order.

PLANNING STATE
BAR ASSOCIATION
Local Body Appoints Committee
to Promote New California
Organization

Arrangements are being made under
the direction of former Judge Curtis H.
, Lindley, president of the bar associa-
tion, for the organization of a state
bar association such as are in exist
ence in all of the eastern states. Judge
Lindley is now gathering data from
the other state bar associations so that
the most modern ideas may be incor-
porated in the California state bar
association. To advance the standards
of the bar and to devise ways and
means for reforming legislation and
court procedure will be the aim of the
new organization.
Emil Pohli, Edward C. Harrison, A.
L. Chickering. John P. Colgan and Scott
Hendricks have been appointed a com
mittee of five by Judge Lindley to in
terest the attorneys throughout the
state in the new organization. The
Los Angeles bar association has al
ready signified it's Willingness to CO.

terday, ito have preliminary meet

bration. Our plan now is to have
delegates sent here from all local asso-
Citations In cities or counties where
there are no organizations we hope to
have the leading attorneys elect one of
their number to represent them
we intend to make it a representa-
tive organization and bring into it the
best minds of the state. Attempts
have been made by lawyers in the past
to form state organization, but never
by this association or in an official
way
The Los Angeles association has al

TRIES TO PUT MAIL
IN FIRE ALARM BOX
Elderly Visitor From Ventura
DispeIs the Calm of a
Sabbath Day
Also Ar0nses Wrath OF Firemen
and Police, Who Drag Him
to Headquarters

.'Where's the fire?" inquired Michael
Mcmahon. an elderly citizen of Ven
tura, now spending a few days in San
francisco
And two policemen, a half dozen
furious firemen and volunteer brigade
of citizens fell on the old man and
rushed him to police headquarters
McMahon wrote number of picture
postcards back to his home town yes
terday morning, and at 1 o'clock was
directed by the clerk at his hotel to
mail them in the nearest box. at Third
and Mission streets. He strolled down
to that corner, looked idly about and
discovered a small box attached to a
trolley pole.
"The mail box" Michael murmured.
He forced open the outer door, after
a short struggle, and found a hook
hanging before him. This he pulled.
expecting an inner door to open in
which he might mail his postals. The
hook did not act as desired, however,
and Mcmahon gave 1t three or four
violent jerks. Still there was no re-
suit, and in disgust the Ventura man
turned away, discovered the big green
mail box near, and dropped his mail
into it,
This is a better kind Of mail box"
he said.
He was strolIing back toward the
hotel when the fire engines came DASH
ing frantically past him.
Where's the f1re?" Mcmahon asked
a passerby. But already he was spot
ted. A policeman, with assistance from
every one near, took him in charge and
hustled him to the station, where he
was released after an explanation on
his part and a severe lecture on the
part of central station police officials

HURLED FROM CAR
DR.. Frank B. Petrie Escapes In
jury, but Arthur Green Has
Shoulder DisIOcated
Especial Dispatch to The Call


SAN ANSELMO, June 13-Risking
his own life to save that of his little
daughter, DR. Frank B. Petrie turned
his automobile into the rail of a bridge
near his home here today, and escaped
serious injury only by the merest
Green. was thrown TO the bottom Of
a rocky stream bed and painfully hurt
DR.. Petrie was returning from San
Anselmo in his automobile, and had
reached the approach of bridge near
his residence when his daughter, Fran
ces, aged 5. rushed out into the road
way to greet him with a bouquet of
wild flowers. The road makes a sharp
curve near the bridge, and neither the
doctor nor his companion. Green, who
is local druggist, saw the child until
they We're almost upon her.
CHILD SCARED BUT UNHURT
Petrie landed in a clump of willows
escaping with only a few scratches,
but Green was less fortunate. He was
sitting on the inner side of the ma
chine. and when the shock came 1t sent
him head foremost over the bank He
struck upon his left shoulder and face
and is suffering from decorations of
the scalp and a drslocation of the
shoulder. His INJURIES were attended
to by DR.. Petrie, who took him to his
residence near by.
Little Frances, the innocent cause Of
the mishap, was badly frightened, but
unhurt.
1T was the closest call I ever ex-
perienced," said DR.. Petrie today.
Green and I were travelling at good
speed. and as there is little traffic on
the road leading to my home we did
not slow down when we approached
the bridge.
NARROW ESCAPE FOR CHILD
Il had no warning of my little girls
presence until we rounded the curve,
when she sprang out to greet us
hardly Is feet in front of the machine.
For the briefest instant l thought we
must surely crush her to death.
There was no time to throw on the
brake, so I simply turned the machine
against the rail Of the bridge and sat
still. We were both hurled from our
seats like a shot from a gun, and
consider it a miracle that 1 escaped so
luckily.
Green, poor fellow, is badly cut up,
but he will recover without any last
ing effects from his fall" The auto
mobile is badly wrecked.

That Cardenio F. King, the Boston
financier, would be found guilty was a
foregone conclusion to all who followed
the report of his trial; but whether he
will receive the punishment so richly
merited remains to be seen. Great rogues
as we'll as lesser ones have way of slip
ping through the meshes of the law after
their guilt has been fully established that
tends to bring the courts into contempt
and nullify the laws against crime. In
the prosecution of King, Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Dwyer did not mince mat
tiers in his argument, and his character
ization of the accused would serve as a
portrait of certain type who live by
taking advantage of the credulity of
their victims. For example, he said of
King that he ''has literary ability of
certain type-crude, 'bombastic and ego
tistical;" is "a man of wonderful ability
in exploiting schemes to trap the unwary;
hypocrite of the most despicable and
desperate type; an egotist, braggart. "
He is "a man who will not hesitate to
turn even the words of holy scripture to
his own base purposes and ends. -. -.
''the type of man who will smile and tell
you funny story, even to quote scrip
ture while he takes your money intend
ing to convert it into his own use" And
after a further exposition of Kings
methods, Mr. Dwyer concluded: ''The
tragedy of it is that you will find people
as in this case who are fools enough and
trustful enough to believe that King
means what he says That surely is
powerful portraiture. 1t brings the man
clearly before one, exposes his methods,
and should be sufficient warning against
others of his kind.

There is more Catarrh in this section of the
country than all other diseases put together,
and until the last few years was supposed to
be incurable. For great many years doctors
pronounced it local disease and prescribed
local remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced it incur
able. Science has proven catarrh to be con-
stitutional disease and therefore requires con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. ]. Cheney & Co., Toledo,
Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the
market. It is taken internally in doses from
10 drops to teaspoonful. It acts directly on
the blood and mucous surfaces of the system.
They offer one hundred dollars for any case it
fails to cure. Send for circulars and testi-

One of the most interesting things we
have read in a magazine in years is the
story of a saloon keeper, in McClure's.
The story tells how uncomfortable the
business is; how disreputable it nearly
always is; how every liquor dealer is
blackmailed by nearly everyone with
whom he comes in contact. The article
is much more interesting than the aver
age love story. Hasn't the love story
seen its day? Every time we read one
we feel disguised; they are all so I'M
natural, strained and foolish. -Atchison
Globe.
We heartily agree with our Kansas
contemporary as to the silly love stories
in the magazines, but dissent as to the
saloon keepers story, which occupies
twelve pages in the telling and contains
not a single fact that has not been known
by newspaper readers for years. Its only
redeeming feature is that it is personal
experience. The sum and substance of
the story is that in New York the brew
cries own or control majority of the
saloons; that it is necessary to pay the
police in order to keep open after hours
and on Sundays and that a new proprietor
is not long in making bad debts. One of
the New York Suns bright young men
would have told this more effectively in
