men in Demands
(By Associated Press.3

HONOLULU, June 2O.-In an edi-
torial in today's Nippu Jill, the organ
of the leaders of the Japanese strike
movement, an appeal for interference
in the Hawaiian strike situation is
made to the Japanese government.
The article alleges that the japanese
have been accorded unfair treatment
by the courts and by the federal and
the territorial officials of the islands.
The Jill has supported the leaders
of the Higher Wage association ever
since the strike of the japanese sugar
plantation hands was called.
The offices of the paper were
searched on June IL and numerous
papers were seized by the territorial
authorities which, 1t is alleged, con-
tanned evidence of a widespread con-
spiracy among the Japanese on the
islands.
Y. Sega. editor of the Jill, was in
dicted twice by the territorial grand
jury following the seizure, once on
charge of conspiracy to incite riot and
once on q charge of conspiracy to
commit murder. He was released on
furnishing S225O bail bonds to cover
both indictments.
The efforts of certain of the Jap
anese to give the Hawaiian trouble an
international aspect are apparently
concentrating here, as is evidenced by
the Jiji's appeal to the japanese gov
eminent.

OPENS His VEIN
TO END THIRST
TRAVELLER HAS DREAD ExPE-
RIENCE ON DESERT
Placer Miner Finds Him Clawng the
Bed of Dry Creek in Futile
Effort to Obtain
Water
Especial to The Herald

SAN BERNARDINO, June 20.-After
suffering for three days without food
or water, Israel Swartz of Boston was
found by prospector in Black Can
yon, on the desert, thirty miles north
of Searchlight, nearly dead from thirst
and the effects of his narrowing ex-
perience. The dying man had opened
vein in his arm and sucked the
blood in an effort to relieve his misery.
Attracted by the cries of what he
had at first thought to be a coyote,
Victor Durand, a placer miner pros
pecting in the canyon, started to in
vestigate and found Swartz lying on
his face in the hard bed of a dry creek,
clawing at the ground in a dying eff
fort to reach water. The tops of his
fingers were almost entirely worn
away and his nails cut to the quick.
Swartz left this city some time ago
to organize a searching party to make
an effort to find A o. Ellis, a close
friend, who had been reported missing
for several weeks and is supposed to
have persisted on the desert. SWartz,
in final effort to locate the missing
man, started out all alone. He became
lost and had had only a small quantity
of water, which soon was exhausted.
Under the burning rays of the sun
he started for Searchlight. For three
days he wandered about on the burn
ing sands without drop of water and
finally, craZed for the want of moist
ure, slashed his arm and sucked the
blood. He was taken to Searchlight
and is now lying between life and
death in the hospital at that point.
After his departure on the search for
Ellis the latter reappeared at Nelson,
Ariz., where he is employed.

CALHOUN'S JURY
FAILS TO AGREE

against me. I should have liked my
vindication by the jury to have been
absolute. And yet, when all circum-
stances are considered from the fact
that ten members of the jury were in
favor of acquittal, it must be recog-
nized that 1 have won a substantial
victory.
1.-THE record of the case demonstrates
that my trial was most unfair-unpar-
alleled in the annals of American jul
risprudence.
1.-THE Judge was hostile, the assistant
district attorney bribed and the ad-
ministration of the criminal law of this
state disgraced.

the proper way to submit formal
charges against Heney for having re-
ceived brides and against Sprecgels
and Phelan for having paid Them
Opinion of Lawlor
In his closing remarks to the jury
prior to their discharge, Judge Lawlor
said:
There is thing think jurors ought
to keep in mind, because the subject
is becoming serious one, and it is
that the hardship does not arise so
much from the necessity which the law
recognizes that jurors shall be with
drawn from their activities and kept
in confinement, but II is the eXtraor-
binary duration OF judicial proceed
ings. The courts are utterly helpless
to obviate that great and growing
evil.
There must be something wrong in
the laws of a state where it takes
three months to impanel a jury to try
any issue, and / think that the ne
cessity of the hour is that the people
should take some steps toward the
simplification of judicial proceedings,
so that, instead of occupying three
months to procure a jury, it could be
secured in as many days.
IF that be done. and if the rules that
are slavishly followed today because
they have been adopted in the remote
past were modified there would be less
occasion to complain of the hardships
incident to the discharge of jury serv-
ice and of the duration of judicial pro-
ceedings."

MINING MEN SETTLE SUIT
THAT INVOLVED S280,000
Action Brought by Mechem Against
Patrick at Goldfield Dismissed
by Consent

GOLDFIELD, New, June 20.-A
grub-stake mining suit involving over
$250,000 was brought to an end today,
when George B. Mechem Of New York
and L. 1. Patrick. president of the
First National bank of Goldheld, set
tied their differences out of court.
Mechem filed suit against Patrick
for $2S0,000 some months ago, alleging
that this sum was due him on the sale
of an option on the Combination mine
made by Patrick. He declared he had
grub staked the defendant before the
option was secured.
Patrick denied this, claiming that he
had worked for company in which
Mechem was interested, and not for
Mechem personally.
The basis of the agreement reached
by the parties has not been, made pub
lie, but it is stated the suit will be
dismissed tomorrow.

Carroll Cook, Chief Counsel for
Boodler Coffey, Fails in Effort
to Shake Gallagher
Attempt to Make Witness Ad-
nit He Held Up Ruef for Bribe
Money Is Unsuccessful

Former Supervisor James f. Gala
CHER. chief witness for the state, dealt
decisive blow to the defense of NJ. w.
Coffey, a boodling ex-supervisor, in
dicted for receiving a bribe from the
United Railroads. at yesterdays ses-
sion of the Coffey trial before Judge
Dunno. Although subjected 10 six
hours of cross examination. not of the
gentlest sort, by Carroll Cook, Gala
CHER told how Coffey had agreed to
receive $4,000 for his vote as other
members of the boodling board had
done. Coffey did not relish this in
eliminating bit of testimony and toyed
nervously with his spectacles as the
recital progressed.
1t became evident during Carroll
Cooks examination of Gallagher that
the former judge might have come to
the aid of Coffey as a representative
of the Calhoun defense, to shake, if
possible, the witness Gallagher from
his original sworn statements. Cook
appeared to be bent on showing that the
witness had held up Ruef for the
SS5,000 paid to him by Ruef, but
Gallagher refused to be badgered into
such an admission. 1t was the opin-
ion of many who, were present at the
trial that Cook had this motive in view
and was really acting in behalf of
Calhoun.
Concerning the actual bribing of Cof-
fey, the witness briefly explained how
the defendant, prepar:g for trip east
wanted some money, and in view of
this contingency Gallagher went to
his safe deposit box and got $4,000 of
the money paid to him by Ruef. This
he gave to Coffey and again, upon Cof-
fey's return from the east, Gallagher
paid the supervisor $4,000 more, MAX
ing in all $4,000 which was Coffey's
share OF the Doodle for his vote ION
the overhead trolley franchise. This
was considered by the prosecution as
the most important testimony in the
case.
For several hours. Carroll Cook dwelt
upon immunity contracts and was bit
ter in his examination along these
lines.
This lengthy examination amounted
to little more than a repetition of all
that could be said about immunity, and
Judge Dunno found occasion to an
nounce to Carroll Cook that the i'm
munity cntract matter was well tried
at the last election" To this Cook
took exception. but as a result his
examination was somewhat subdued.
District Attorney Langdon returned
from San Diego yesterday and took
charge OF the prosecution, assisted by
William Hoff Cook. The cross-exam
ination of Gallagher was conducted
wholly by Carroll Cook for the defense
Attorney Ferral declining to a subordi-
nate place. Ferral is related through
marriage to Gallagher.
An effort has been made by the de-
fense TO obtain copies of the confes-
sions of Coffey and other eX-supervisors
and these will be given to the defense
today Whether the defense will intro
duce these confessions-at least the one
made by Coffey-is not known. Gal
lagher will take the stand again this
morning.
