GET JURY TO
TRY CALHOUN
EIGHTH WEEK BRINGS GRAFT
FLYING RESULTS
ONE TALEsMAN so WORRIED HE
is SOON EXCUSED
Peremptory Challenges Are Vet to Be
Exercised, and Number May
Again Be Depleted
Next Monday
[By Associated Press.l

SAN FRANCISCO, March 5.-For the
third time during a period of four
weeks twelve men have been accepted
by the attorneys in the case of Patrick
Calhoun, president Of the United Rail-
roads, whose trial upon an indictment
charging bribery of a former super
visor of this city is now in its eighth
week.
During period of two hours today
the opposing attorneys accomplished
more in the way of actual progress
than has resulted in the preceding fort
night.
John r. Allen, dry goods salesman,
was the thirteenth talesman subjected
to examination during the day, and he
was accepted by both sides after
comparatively brief Interrogation by
either side.
Just after he had been passed to oc-
cupy the twelfth seat in the jury box,
John T. Costello, an insurance broker,
addressed the court and declared his
business interests would be altogether
destroyed if he should be required to
attend the sessions of court for
period of two months or more.
When an examination by Judge Law
lor disclosed that the juror was al
ready worrying in court, the judge or
dered him excused, and again there
was a place to be filed.
Place Again Filled
Just at the hour of adjournment the
place vacated by Costello was filed.
James l.. Arthur, builder who was
examined at considerable length in the
last trial of Abraham Ruef, and who
was peremptorily challenged in that
case, was accepted by both sides after
declaring that he had no disqualifying
beliefs or opinions.
Even then the happenings of the day
were not at an end, for Robert B.
Bennington, accepted as the tenth juror
when the box was partially emptied
two weeks ago, arose to acquaint the
attorneys with the fact that one of the
attorneys who represents tine United
Railroads in civil litigation was coun-
sci for a corporation from which Mr..
Bennington derives the greater part of
his income. The scruples of the juror
appeared to be lightly regarded by the
attorneys, as he was questioned by
neither side.
Stanley Moore of the defense said he
might desire to ask Juror Arthur a few
questions when court again convened,
and Judge Lawlor, by agreement, fixed
next Monday afternoon as the time for
exercise of peremptory challenges.
1t is generally agreed by those in
constant attendance upon the trial that
an effort will be made on Monday to
dislodge one or more of the Twelve men
already passed upon challenges for
cause and that peremptory challenges
will be deferred for the third time.

FIELD OF NINE
GOES IN DERBY
BLUE RIBBON EVENT TO BE
RUN TODAY
MISUNDERSTANDING ATTENDANCE
is ANTICIPATED
Hiah Private Named as Candidate for
Second Similar Honor of Winter
Season on Coast-Event Is
Worth $4,000 Gross

This is Derby day at Santa ANITA
park and the Los Angeles DERBY WIN
be the feature event of the classy caru
that has been arranged for this AFTER
noon. AS upon other derby days, IL Is
expected that the attendance VIII eA-
coed that of any other day this sea,
son. which means a record crowd, ana
extraordinary precautions have been
taken by the management to enapie
the crowds to be handled comfortably
and satisfactorily. This is the one Dig
day in each racing season here, ana IL
the weather is favorable, the sport
should be of the highest order.
The derby field named in the over
nights will be slightly smaller than
was anticipated, only nine starters be-
ing named, but it will be one Oh tne
classiest fields that ever raced for this
event. Track conditions will govern
the size of the field, but in any event
1t is expected that added starters Will
increase the number named in the
overnights.
Sam Hildreth will have Joe Madden
and Schleswig coupled as his candl-
dates for the blue ribbon event anu
will have a strong hand, although
High Private handily beat the former
in the California derby last Monday
week. High Private was shipped mere
from Fmeryville to win this stake for
f. A. Forsythe, and the northern
bunch will be greatly surprised II ne
fails to turn the trick. However,
northern horses do not seem to be
able to come south and beat our best,
and a victory for one of the horses
that has been racing here all season
will be hailed with Joy by the race
going public.
Lawton Virgins also was beaten by
High Private in the California derby,
but with a fast track upon which to
run he probably will make a better
showing Barney Schrieber will have
Guy Fisher to carry his hopes, and
Herman Brandt, trainer for Schrieber.
will send Harrigan to the post with
much confidence in winning the stake.
Sempronium has been prepped here
for the event, and is regarded as the
real dark horse of the race. j. II.
Reed has not shown his best form this
season, but will be added today, 1t was
reported last night.
The derby is not at the regulation
distance, being quarter OF mile
shorter, or a mile and quarter. 1t
carries a guaranteed value of $4,000, OF
which sum the winner earns $4,000
The event closed with seventy-seven
nominations, and with a field of ten
starters the association will not lose
more than $2500 in guaranteeing the
value of the stake. Interest in the
event would have been materially
greater had Fitz Herbert been able to
go to the post. This one is regarded
as the best 3-year-old on the coast
and only for having sustained an injury
in a recent race would have gone to the
post a favorite in the derby, today.

White was obliged to quit in the
twentieth mile, Maloney at that stage
being quarters of a mile in the
lead. White was taken to his dressing
room suffering from contracted muscles
Of his left leg. He said that this was
caused by continual turning to the left
side. He is not used to running on an

mile he was a lap and half in front of
his rival. Time for 10 miles, 59:03.
Up to and after the fifteenth mile
White maintained his lead, but then
he faltered a trifie and Maloney went
after him and gradually cut down his
lead. At the end of the eighteenth
mile Maloney was only thirty yards be-
hind, and soon took the lead. Another
mile saw Maloney two laps in the lead,
the little Dublin runner having stopped
almost to a walk. During the twentl-

MEMBERS OF PARLI LAMENT ON
TRIAL IN DUBLIN
ACCUSED OF ASSAULT IN RECENT
SENSATIONAL MELEE
Counsel for Scion from Cork Declares
Redmond Not to Blame, but
Denounces Joseph
Devlln
tBy Associated Press.I

DUBLIN, March 5.-As a result of
the free fight at the Nationalist con-
vention in Dublin last month, when
William OBrien was refused a hear
ing, charges of assault and attempting
to break up public meeting nave
been brought by Eugene Cream, mem
Der of parliament for the southeast
division of Cork, against Joseph Dew
lin, member of the house for West
Belfast and against Dennis Johnston,
secretary of the United Irish league.
The court room was crowded at the
trial today and Timothy Healy, counsel
for Mr.. Cream, kept the audience in
roars of laughter with his witty pre-
sentation of the plaintiffs case
Mr.. Healy absolved John e. Red
mond from all responsibility for the
ruffianism, but he declared that Mr..
Devlin had staged and managed the
whole affair, bringing in paid blud-
geon men" from Belfast to shout down
the OBrienites.
Deviin Denounced
Mr.. Healy characterized Mr.. Devlin
as the past master of the Ancient
Order of Hibernians in America. He
said this society had no connection
with Ireland but there were men here
who pretended to have it's sanction.
Mr.. Devlin, the speaker continued,
for some purpose of his own had gall
vanized into life a remnant Of the
ancient Molly Mcguire faction and
dubbed them the Ancient Order of
Hibernians."
A confidential circular had brought
down 223 men from Belfast, who
marched into the convention.
At this juncture Mr. Healy held aloft
a formidable lockwood stick, saying
that each Belfast man had been given
such a baton and at the close of the
day each worker in the vineyard re-
ceived half a sovereign from Mr.. john
ston on returning the weapon.
Instructions had been given "the
bludgeon men" not to allow any man
with a Cork accent" near the plat
form, and Mr.. Cream. who came from
Cork. was their first victim.

Rounded End of Table Knife.
From Tit


 Until the seventeenth century knife blades had pointed ends, as can readily be understood when the knife of those days was used for hunting and table purposes indiscriminately. The rounded end was introduced from France in a curious way.
 It happened that Cardinal Richelieu was compelled to entertain at his table a certain Chancellor Sequier-a vulgar and unmannerly man, who at the close of the meal proceeded to use his knife as a toothpick This vulgar act so upset the cardinal that he ordered the end of every knife in his possession to be rounded and so great was Richeleu's influence that the fashion was soon adopted all over the country. This is the vulgar but nevertheless interesting origin of the rounded knife of today.
