Sacramento, Calf, Oct. 16.-J. G..
Naylor, business agent of the Inter-
national Association of Machinists,
and other labor leaders who are di-
recting the strike of the shopmen OF
the Hartman lines, today are taking
steps to place before the Interstate
Commerce Commission information,
which they claim will prove that the
Hartman system, on its western di-
visions, is violating the federal law,
relative to the inspection of passenger
trains.
Reports which have come to the
union officials from all parts Of Cali
fornia and oregon, state that the pas
senger trains, since the strike COM
menced more than two weeks ago,
have been allowed to go through dl-
vision points, without being properly
inspected as is required by the inter-
state commerce commission.
The railroad company denies that
this is being done.

Washington, D. c., Oct. 16-When
the United States supreme court to-
day convened, the chair of the late
Justice Harlan. who died Saturday
morning. was heavily draped and out
OF respect to his memory, the Coun-
try's highest tribunal of justice, ad-
journed Immediately.
The funeral will be conducted to-
morrow from the home of the deceas-
ed jur.st in this city.
Politicians who are close to official
circles here today are generally
agreed on the opinion that President
Taft will appoint 3 progressive man
to succeed Justice Harland on the
supreme bench.
One report that has gained circula-
ton about the nations capitol is to
the effect that Attorney Brandies,
who defended former Chief Foreser
Clifford Pinchot during the trial of
former Secretary Ballinger of the de-
partment of the interior, may be Sc
lected for the seat.
It is. however, generally believed
that President Taft's personal dislike
of Brandies would prevent his ap-
pOntment.
Another rumor is going the rounds
to the effect that Solicitor Genera
Lehman of st Louis, Mo, will be Sc
lected. SO far as can be ascertained,
the two mentioned are the only ones
who are being urged for the place,
although it is expected that numbers
of others will be put forth as candi-
dates, within the next few days.

Another Day Lost in Fight

Attorney Darrow Bitterly Arraigns
Venireman Who Expressed Opinion
on Times Case.

Hall of Records, Los Angeles, Calf,
Oct. 16.-At the end of bitter ar
raignment of Venireman Nelson by
Attorney Clarence Darrow, for the Nc
Namara defense, who said that Mel.
son had shown beyond doubt that he
was biased, in the Times dynamiting
case. Superior Judge Bordwell today
announced that he would reserve his
decision of the legal battle that has
been waged over this one juryman.
1t is expected that he will hand down
ruling late this afternoon -
In closing his argument to the court,
Attorney Darrow said:
1--WE may try this case on an alibi,
for the McNamaras, and we may not"
ITO prove corpus delecti' here, it
must be shown by the prosecution,
have a perfect right to show that no
crime was committed.
1--WE may show that the Times ex-
plosion. was caused by gas, and not
dynamite. In that event, we would
need no alibi.
Now what viii the prosecution say
when we reach a talisman, who says
he believes the Times was destroyed
by a gas explosion.
II do not believe they will argue
to permit that venireman to qualify
for the jury"
When court convened this morn
ing. it was evident that the argument
over Venireman Nelson would take
up the entire day, and Judge Bordwell
excused all veniremen, except those
held under guard, until tomorrow
morning.

MAYOR OF BOISE

After having attended the state fair
held at Boise and spoke at the state
medical convention for Idaho, DIR. C.
J. Smith returned to the city Satur-
day. While in the Idaho city the
doctor met with a number of former
Pendletonians, among them being
Harry Fritzman. mayor of Boise, who
was formerly in the commission busi-
ness here. He is now a prosperous
commission dealer in Boise and the
fact that he is succeeding is attested
by the position he now holds in the
city government
According to DR.. Smith, Boise is a
very modern appearing city and is
fast improving. At this time there
are fiften miles of paved streets in
Boise and 100 blocks more are to be
paved in the near future. In the
residence districts the sidewalks are
almost entirely of concrete and the
streets are parked, thus giving the
thoroughfares a splendid appearance.

NOTED WHITE SLAVE SLEUTH GIVES
STARTLING INFORMATION ON TRAFFIC

Startling revelations regarding the
white slave traffic and the liquor
traffic among Indians were made by
George A. Miller, special officer in
the Indian service of the department
of the interior. who is here today to
appear against Frank McSwain, ac-
cused of selling whiskey to a red
skin. Mr.. Miller has been in the In
dian service for five years but dur
ing that time he has had furloughs
amounting to eighteen months, during
which times he was employed by the
national immigration comission to Sc
cure evidence as to the extent of the
white slave traffic. BY his work in
these two capacities, Mr.. Miller has
won for himself national reputation
and is one of the most feared detec-
tives of the country.
1t was in 1909 that he first secured
a furlough from the Indian service to
undertake an investigation for the ma
tional immigration commission. Dur
ing the several months in which he
engaged in this work he operated in
all of the principal cities in the west
and made discoveries regarding the
| organization and extent of the white
slave traffic that were startling even
to officials familiar with the lower
world. He secured evidence against
81 different dealers in young girls be-
fore his furlough ended.

that of all the cities in the United

After the second inning in which
New York tied the one tally made by
