Demands New Trial, Alleging
That j. w. Bulen Was In
capable During Hearing

OAKLAND. Dec. 2s-A new trial on
the ground that one of the jurors who
convicted her was drunk during the
hearing was demanded today by Mrs.
Isabella J. Martin when she came up
for sentence before Judge Wells for

She named J.sW. Bulen of San Lean
dro as the juror who was drunk during
her trial. and of him she said in her
written motion that he became fntoxi-
Gated to that degree that he was in
capable of giving due and fair consid-
Grafton to the case
Mrs. Martin said today that she would
produce aftidavits in support of her mo-
tion. She has another affidavit, she de-
clared, from a man who said that Bulen
told him during the trial that Mrs
Martin was IS good as convicted. as far
as he was concerned"
Her accusation caused a sensation in
court and necessitated the case being
continued until Saturday morning
when the affidavits will be produced and
her motion argued
A large crowd, composed principally
of women, was in Judge Wells court
when Mrs. Martin came up for SEN
tence. She was dressed especially for
the occasion. After A J. WOolsey, the
clerk, had arraigned her and asked If
she had any reason to give why judg-
ment should not be pronounced upon
her she arose dramatically and said:
Your honor, have every reason in
the world why. sentence should not be
pronounced upon me, because am abb
solutely innocent of the dynamiting of
Judge Ogden's home"
At this point her attorney, E. E.
Gehring, produced the motion for a new
trial and read it to the court. Mrs.
Martin left the courtroom on her way
back to jail full of jubilation at the
turn she had given to affairs.

incorporation
BILL INTRODUCED
PRESIDENT FATHERS THE MEAS
URE, BUT SAYS he WILL
NOT PUSH IT.
CORPORATIONS WARY
NOT INTENDED TO GIVE RELIEF
FROM PROVISIONS OF ANTI.
TRUST ACT.

Washington.-The federal incorpo.
ration bill whicn was introduced in
Congress Monday is not to be present
ed for passage at this session.
II the bill should pass, President
Taft has stated his willingness to
stand as its sponsor and to take the
responsibility for having recommend
ed it.
Further than this. the President
told several callers that he would
not make the incorporation bill as an
administration measure.
He declared he felt he had no right
to do SO, and that it did not rank with
the proposed amendments to the inter-
state commerce law, the postal saw
ings banks and the measures designed
for the conservation of natural re-
sources.
These latter were promised in the
platform upon which the President
was elected and he feels that the
party is responsible for their passage
at this session OF Congress.
President Taft believes that there
are many things in the incorporation
bill that will commend themselves to
the legislators as they study the meas
ure. He will not attempt to influence
senators and representatives in its IA
vor, however. The bill now goes to
the judiciary committee of Congress
for consideration.
Wall street interests, inclined at
first to look upon the idea of a federal
charter with the utmost favor, were
rather rudely awakened when it was
learned that the President would in
slst that in any bill passed on this
subject there should be included the
provision that nothing in the act
should be construed as eXempting cor
porations from the operation of the
antitrust act. A great many corpora
tions were looking forward to a fed
eral charter as an indication that past
sins were forgiven. provided there
were no more transgressions in the
future.
Frank D. Vanderlip and George W.
ferkins of New York, who saw the
President last week, told him that the
corporate interests were anything but
pleased with the character of the pro-
posed measure and that few, if any,
corporations would take advantage
of the act.
The President, it Is understood, re-
torted that the act was voluntary
one and that the corporations that did
not care to come under federal control
need not do SO. He thought in time.
however, that the simplicity of doing
business throughout the country, once
the provisions of the act were COM
piled with. would appeal to corpora
tions and that they would come to see
the many advantages that the act con-
tains.
AS to exempting companies with
federal charters from the operation of
the antitrust law. the President said
that was impossible. The constitu-
tlonality of the proposed act is a seri-
Gus question. however, as it would de-
prive the states Of jurisdiction over
corporations holding federal charters.
