q AN FRANCISCO, Feb. S.-AfteI
~ four weeks of effort eleven citi-
~ zens have qualified to try Patrick
Calhoun, president of the United Rail
roads, on the first of seventeen indict-
means charging the brobery of public
officials.
Frederick c. WuIzen, the eleventh
juror, was added to the panel late to-
day, and it is believed the box will be
filled during the week, after which the
first peremptory challenges will be
used.
A tenth special venire of sixty citizens
has been ordered for next Wednesday.
Juror Wulzen, who disposed of his
restaurant business recently, admitted
an opinion, and under pressure by the
defense said that he had swmpathies
for the prosecution, which he believed
to be engaged in an uphill fight
In all other respects he prOfessed
himself free from prejudice or bias that
would operate against his return of a
fair decision.
With Earl Rogers conducting most of
the examination for the defense, twen-
. ty other talesnen were examined and
challenged for cause during less than
four hours of actual Interrogation.
Once during the afternoon Assistant
District Attorney O'Gara objected to
the demeanor of Mr. Rogers, whom he
accused of Laughing and jeering.'
Challenge Is Allowed
The talesman under examination,
who was an employe of q bank, was
asked il the management of the insti-
tuition. had not contributed $500 to the
support of a weekly paper which was
alleged to favor the defense. The tales
man said the money had been applied

finally interpOsed and allowed
Julius Raphael clothing dealer,
was passed by Mr. Rogers after he had
admitted being so friendly to the de-
fense that he did not believe he would
make a good juror. Under examination
by Mr.. Heney the talesman said that
he had some ideas as to the methods of
the prosecution, but had never ex-
pressed them.
He entertained a belief that if the
defendant had paid money to the su-
pervisors he was "held up" Asked if
he was speaking from personal expert
enCe, Mr. Raphael narrated an account
of matter in which he had dealt with
the supervisors in the effort to secure
the improvement of a street on which
his establishment is located
He expressed the belief that the SUI
peryisors delayed the work in the hope
OF some private reward, ana when ne
had concluded his narrative Mr. Heney
asked:
LAS a matter of fact, don't you know
that those street contracts were let by
the board of public works and not by
the supervisors? ?''
No was the reply.

DECLARES ANTITRUST UTTERLY
INEFFECTUAL
Market Prices Raised to Alarming
Extent, He Says--Other lm=
portant Matters Also
Considered
[By Associated Press.l ]

SACRAMENTO, Feb. S.-Edward !.
Wolfe of San Francisco caused wide
spread discussion among legislators to-
day by the introduction of a resolution
as the opening gun in a fight for the
repeal of the Cartwright antitrust
law passed by the thirty seventh legis-
lature.
In his preamble Wolfe declares that
the cost of living in California has
increased recently to an alarming ex-
tent and that the antitrust law has
proved ineffective in the control of the
markets for foods and necessary prod
ucts of the soil.
7 The resolution calls for the appoint
ment of committee to investigate the
conditions and report two years hence.
Senator John p. Hare introduced a
bill that would prohibit not only the
management and holding of prize fights
where admission is charged, but also
would impose a maximum penalty of
5000 upon spectators at such contests.
There was barely a quorum present
in both houses and many important
measures were passed on the file to
await the arrival of members interest
ed, but who were unable to get here
today to look after their interests on
account of delay in railroad traffic.
Junketing Question
The adoption of Senator Hurd's reso-
luton calling for the appointment of
a. committee of nine to visit various
state institutions to learn their needs
in the way of appropriations by the
legislature caused a lively debate on
the junketing question. The resolution
hnally was adopted after a vigorous
protest from Senator Anthony and
several Democratic members
n =,
Senators Wolfe and Bills as additions
to the committee provided for in Cami-
nettfs resolution to investigate the
increases i'm freight and express rates
The other members of this committee
are Senators Burnett, Black and San
ford.
The fish and game committee of tho
senate decided today to report favor
ably on a bill by Senator Cutten pro
vlding that crabs may not be taker
from state waters for commercial pur-
poses except upon Thursday during
the open season.
Numerous other bills affecting the
game and fish laws were discussed
George L. Stone, II. w. Van Sicklen and
Charles "A. Vogelsang of the state com.
mission appearing in behalf of meas.
ures advocated by that body.
Mr.. NogelSang recommended thai
hunters be allowed to kill one doe eacF
during the season.
He declared there were MANY bar
rem does. easily recognized by the ex-
perienced nimrod, that interfered with
rather than assisted in the prona ga.
ton of the species.
