JUROR
SWORN TO HEAR
CALHOUN'S CASE
TRIAL OF ALLEGED BRIBER ES-
TABLISHES RECORD
CHAIR WILL BE
ADDED TO JURY BOX
After Examination of 1870 TaIesmen,
Taking Slxty-two Days, Actual
Trial of Magnate Soon
VIII Begin

G AN FRANCISCO, April 13.-Already
assured of place unique in the
~ annals of California criminal jur-
isprudence, the trial of Patrick Cal
houn, who is charged with having Of
fered a $4,000 bribe to former super
visor, made great stride toward COM
pletion today.
The twelfth juror was sworn to try
the case, and when the hour of ad-
journment was reached, the attorneys
were engaged in an honest effort to
discover a thirteenth talesman, free
from disqualifying opinions and be-
liefs.
There is possibility that the alter
nate Juror, who will hold himself In
readiness to serve IL any member of
the original panel is disqualified, will
be selected tomorrow in which event
the taking Of testimony will be begun
on Thursday.
Thirteen weeks have elapsed since
the president of the United Railroads
appeared In court to answer the first
of seventeen indictments charging him
with completely in the tangled scam
dals charged against the municipal ad-
ministration headed by Mayor T.. e..
Schmitz and Abe Ruef.
During that time sixty-two days have
been devoted to the trial and 2370 citi-
zens have been summoned to attend
tn sessions as prospective jurors.
Exhaust Many Venires
Thirty-five special venires, averaging
sixty-eight citizens in each instance,
were summoned by the sheriff, and the
attorneys succeeded in examining four
teen jurors on each day of judicial
proceedings.
The total expense incurred by the
trial to date cannot be estimated until
pending bills are audited and paid, but
each of the 1870 talesmen Is entitled to
a minimum of 81 for each session of
court attended, and the court must in
dorse all bills presented by local
hotel where the sworn members of the
Jury have been domiciled in the Gus
tody of two deputy sheriffs. -
Since the first exercise of peremp-
tory challenges on March six mem
bers OF the jury have been cut off
from communication with, business as
sociates and members of their families,
been denied access to papers and mag
azines and have remained isolated
from the general public. Since that
time other jurors have been sworn at
intervals, and these have been sub
jected to the same regulations.
The record of the proceedings to date
consists of 9493 pages of typewriter
matter, containing approximately o.
373,250 words, which have cost nearly
$4,000 to transcribe. A large force Of
detectives and special agents, repre-
senting either side, have been actively
engaged in examination of candidates

bassador. to- Great Britain, will be the
new grand, vizier, with Edham Pa
sha minister of war. Edham Pasha was
the Turkish commander in the Greek
war. and as he proceeded from, the
Yildiz to Stamboul he was greeted with
cheers by the troops.

to the chamber an trade announcing
that the sultan had accepted the res
ignation of the cabinet anI that new
ministry was being formed.

SALOON FORCES
LOSE IN FRESNO
FIFTY BARROOMS WILL HAVE
TO QUIT BUSINESS y
DR.. Chester RowelI Is Made Mayor,
and Majority of Good Government
Candidates for City Truss ~
tees Elected
tBy. Associated Press. ]

FRESNO, April 13.-Complete returns
compiled this morning of the municipal
election held yesterday show that the
anti-saloon league has triumphed by
total of fifty-seven votes. DR.. Chester
RoWell is elected mayor by a large
majority over four other candidates.
The saloon question was productive OF
the bitterest contest of ballots that has
ever been waged in this city.
AS a result of the election fifty sa-
looms will go out of business. A ma
jority of the Good Government league
candidates for city trustees We're
elected.
The saloon adherents rolled up hand
some majorities in the precincts of the
business section, but in the larger pre-
cincts of the residence section those
majorities were overcome. Nearly 45OO
votes were cast.
The anti-saloon league forces are
jubilant today because of the victory
at the polls yesterday. Rev. /. B. Bris-
tol, who has worked here for the last
two years to abolish the saloons, issued
a statement today in which he said
that he anticipated no contest, and that
should the ordinance prove unconstitu-
tional the board will see that the Will
of the people is enforced.
Whole state Affected
He also predicted that the whole state
would be affected by yesterdays vote,
and that the whole San Joaquin valley
will go dry at a no distant date.
On the streets today there was some
talk of an election contest, but the sa-
loon men assert that they contemplate
no such move.
The arrest of w. ]. Eilert and. other
local citizens on charges of fraudulent
registration is stated to have had a
bearing on the situation Many saloon
supporters who really had legal right
to vote were afraid to take chances be-
cause they do not reside here during the
whole year. Bristol intimates that Eli
ert and others will be prosecuted de-
spite the victory of the anti-saloon
forces.
A member of the board of supervis-
ors said this morning that without
doubt the entire county would go dry
within a short time. Today the people
of Laton are voting on the wet and dry
question. N-
The anti-saloon forces declare that
the saloon men committed suicide four
years ago when they attempted to run
the city government. They also assert
that the LIQUOR men made mistake by
supporting individually and through
their organization w. F.SToomey, who
ran against DIR. Rowell for mayor. The
determination of the saloon men to keep
in politics, it is asserted, led to their
defeat.
The total vote shows that DR.. Rowell
has received 500 votes more than all
four of his opponents combined Lis
ter, the last man on the list, received
but one vote. This came from his own
precinct. He advocated wide OPEN
town.

things today. Hostesses depended for en-
tertainment mainly upon the beautiful
drives with which this section of the
shore abounds. One meets horseback par
ties all over, and the number of automo-
biles upon the thoroughfares would be
almost astonishing were it not for the
precedent last season, when on the
Fourth Of July at the Deal Casino over
5000 of these machines were checked In
and packed solid over huge parking

those noticed with friends there this aft
