MYTH fair success today in the
M selection of talesmen, it is pos
w sibie that the jury to try Harry
p Flannery, former president of the
San Francisco police commission,
charged with grand larceny, will be
completed before adjournment is
taken this afternoon in Judge Len
mons court in San Rafael.
The first day of the trial, which is
expected to develop many sensations
in connection with local police con-
ditions under Flannery's regime, was
marked by rapid progress IN the work
OF jury getting OF the first II men
drawn from the jury box yesterday
morning eight had been accepted be-
fore night, subject to peremptory
challenge, three being excused on
challenge for cause and challenge
interposed by the prosecution against
the remaining talcsman was taken
under consideration by the court.
Busting Activity
The dingy old courthouse, in its pic
turesque setting among the green
Marin hills and the rose gardens of
San Rafael, became the center OF a
scene of busting activity early yester-
day morning. The beginning of the
trial brought sharp and unpleasant
contrasts into the atmosphere of quiet
serenity that usually pervades the
little transbay city, for, despite the
distance from San Francisco, there
were lacking but few of the eruder
elements that always accompany an
important criminal case in the metrop-
oils
The promise of attorneys connected
with the case that the trial would be
carried through without the outside
assistance of sleuths and trailers were
at wide variance with what actually
occurred The early boats from San
Francisco carried 10 Marin county
corps of men of the same type that
was so much in evidence during all
the big graft trials in this city; the
defendant himself was accompanied
by a bodyguard OF personal retainers;
one or two well known gunhzhters
hung all day about the courthouse;
others with suspicious buIges at their
hips paraded the streets and crowded
into the courtroom among the throng
OF prospective jurors. and several times
the formal proceedings were punctuated
with reference to the activity OF detec-
tives.
Tension of Suspense
Regardless of all that has been said
of quick. open and aboveboard set
tlement OF the case on It's merits alone.
the Flannery trial seems destined to be
fraught with ~gumshcev tactics. JURY
Investigation and a plentiful portion
of half suspected intrigue. The vague
uneasiness that always goes with this
lighting from ambush during the trial
of criminal case was felt from the
very outset yesterday. and although no
overt incident occurred TO arouse sus-
picion. the tension OF suspense was
very evident

n Jew YORK, May 1.-THE fullest
N publicity should be given, if
possible. to the finding of the
committee Of American men of science
in the case of Eusapia Palladino.
The subtle Italian medium we nave
been studying is q kind of incarnation
OF specious evidence, a symbol of So
phistry. Her art is to obtain credence
under false pretenses. She has sue
ceeded. Readers have hardly realized
the serious interest that she has sus-
tanned for Is years. Group after
group has sat with her and published
results. Imposing committees have
issued elaborate reports in her favor.
10 other medium has ever absorbed so
much and so prolonged scientific at
tenuon. These learned patrons have
inflated her reputation and exalted her
praises.
Would Sometimes Deceive
As the case stood in January last
there had been no real progress re-
gsrding it since 1895 II was then
proved in Cambridge, England, what
had been suspected before.) that Eusa-
pia would sometimes deceive the hold
ers II she could, free hand or foot,
and get it into the cabinet behind her.
Last December this was once more con-
hrmed by Edgar T. Scott Of Philadel-
phia. who. at one OF the Carrington's
sesnoes, put his hand under the cur
tain into the cabinet and came in con-
tact with her stockinged foot. After
fifteen years it was time to take a
step forward.

Congress Should Act Soon

The president said that he believed it
was fitting that the canal completion
should be celebrated and that the ma
tions of the world should be invited to
join with the United States in holding
the celebration
From present indication the presi-
dent continued 'the canal will be COM
pleted by 1915, there fore the time for
preparation is not too long and con-
gress should act at once in the selec-
tion of the city or cities where such
celebration should be held

dent when he said that if congress
should decide that but one celebration
be held, then unreservedly I say San

COMMISSIONERS ON WARPATE
County Board Members Have Griev-
anoe Against Drainage Bill.
ELKHoRN VALLEY MEN ARE CUTE
Have Bill Against Douglas County
which IL Altogether D~isprOpOr-
~tiOnate. Say Pickard
and Others.

The Board Of County Commissioner and
the Elkhorn Valley Drainage district will
go to the mat. The county board feels
tha It has a grievance which Commits
sioner o. j. Pickard thus summarizes:
First they take our bitches and then
they make us pay for the privilege Of hav-
ing them taken"
When the drainage district was organ-
lied the directors took over the bitches
along side the public roads Of Douglas
county to use them for drainage purposes.
Appraisers declined to allow the county
anything for these bitches.
Now the drainage district directors have
been assessing the benefits to be derived
benefits are made to square with the cost
of the work.
The total is 500, 900 and the county is ex-
pected to pay one-tenth of this on account
of it's having LAND in the form of county
roads. But the roads are only one-fiftieth
of the total benefited acreage, which is
IS, 900 acres. Hence the commissioners say
they cannot see why the county should
pay one-tenth for a one-fiftieth holding,
Moreover, the best part of this holding
so far as drainage is concerned, is These
roadside bitches, control of which has al.
ready gone to the drainage district.
The commissioners will take the matter
up at a meeting of the committee of the
whole this afternoon. If the commits
| sioners continue in their present temper, Il
is not unlikely that an appeal to the courts
will be made

is PRIVATE HOME OR STORE
BEST FOR WORKING GlRL2
Question IL Debated by Mother OF
Eleven Children and Court
Officials.

Mrs. Mary Dibelka, Judge Estelle, Proba-
ton officer Mogy Bernstein and IL h.
Berka, attorney for Mrs. Dibelka, held an
animated discussion in Judge Estelle's Of
flee as to what sort Of employment Is best
for a girl OF Is years. The discussion was
not academic, nor theoretical because Mrs.
Dibelka's two daughters, Marie and Agnes
have been put in the Detention home after
being taken from the Her Grand hotel on
a charge of violation of the child labor law.
Judge Estelle and Bernstein were strong
for the girls being secured places as do
mestics in a private home. Mrs. Dibelka
wished them in a hotel or a laundry. She
has nine other young children on a farm
near Avery and the girls must go to work
somewhere.
The elder girl, Marie, is Is. and Mrs
Dibelka a year ago let her go to work In
a private house. This ended unhappily
with the girl fleeing in terror.
Thereupon Mrs. Dibelka conceived a VIC
lent prejudice against domestic employ.
ment for her daughters.
IT want 'em in a store, then" said she
when informed that a laundry or a hote
would not be permitted by Juvenile court
They're full to overlooking at present,
said Mr.. Bernstein, and besides, do yol
know what they'd get to start? Not NOR
than $3.50 a week"
Mrs. Dibelka and her lawyer scored on,
point as the result Of the conference. Tn,
girls will be allowed to go home unit
Monday, when their case will be up IL
juvenile court.
