denouncing Clarence 8. SDarrow as. =
corrupter Of men and lauding his bril-
itancy OF mind, Assistant District At
torney w. ]. Ford made the opening
argument In the Darrow bribery trial.
The denunciation extended to others
connected with the defense Of the Chi
cago lawyer-to Job Hartman, who
Ford maintained. was an accomplice liz
the alleged bribery of jurors-to Lin
coin Stefens, designat ted as Chris
tian anarchist and to other defense
witnesses Of lesser importance.
Time after time Ford assailed Dar-
row personally. either because Of his
philosophic teachings or for his con-
duct Of the Mcnamara defense. Thru
out the day the man long regarded as
the country's foremost champion Of
organized labor listened to successive
arraignments OF himself, his friends
and the cause he represented with ap.
parently studied unconcern.
The climax of the prosecutors per-
sonal denunciation was reached in his
charge that Mr. Darrow, by his teach
ings, was responsible for the blowing
up Of the Times building and it's at
tendant fatalities. J. B. Mcnamara, he
said, had been deluded by the doctrines
advocated by Darrow. At another time
the speaker referred to the defendant
as the brilliant gladiator Of the
courts
The theory Of the defense that
Franklin and John r. Harrington were
actors in a frame up to ruin Darrow
was ridiculed by the prosecutor.
'If there was any frame up In this
case" he said, 'it was between the
district attorney and Lockwood to trap
Franklin, and they did it,"
The prosecuting attorney asserted
the testimony of Lincoln FSteffens as to
the so-called peace negotiations" was
ridiculous and not to be believed. Stef-
fens was denounced as "a man who be-
lieved man should not be punished
for mere murder-he says the men
should have gone free because 1t was
a social crime" @
After talking four and one-half hours
Ford closed with a plea for convention,
telling the jurors that it was the only
verdict com patible with the evidence.
Today Attorney Horace H. Appel
will make the opening argument for
the defense.

from ambush. ~
Only meager details have reached
this city. So far as known only part
of the train crew escaped.
The first news Of the assault was
sent to Mexico City by the conductor
and Marine Collector Dominguez. who
altho wounded. managed to make their
way to Yautepec, twelve miles away.
They were forced to steal thru the
Zapatista lines and did not arrive at
the telegraph station until yesterday
afternoon.
After a murderous rifle fire had
ceased the rebels swarmed down the
hillside and set fire to the three cars
composing the train. A few Of the
wounded had crawled out onto the
right of way. thus escaping the fate
Of those unable to leave the cars, who
were burned.
Bodies Of Victims MutiIated.
According to reports the leader of
the rebels made no effort to restrain
his men from acts Of brutality greater
than any that has yet marked the cam
paign In the south.
The wounded, pleading for their
lives, were struck down without pity,
and even looting was held in allegiance
until the slaughter was complete.
Not satisfied with robbing their VIC
tins in an ordinary manner, the fingers
Of men and women were chopped of
with hatchets. that rings they wore
might be more quickly obtained. Orna-
ments were torn from ears Of women
and their bodies were otherwise mu-

The ill-fated train left Mexico City
Sunday morning. Most OF the passen-
gers belonged to the farmer and lower
classes. The soldiers, who had been
detailed to net as guard, were from
the Eleventh battalion, commanded by
Lieutenant Reynoxa.
BY costly experience the troops had
learned to be en- the alert, but from
the time they left the national capital
no hostility had been encountered until
the train ran into the canyon.

Here a rail had been loosened. and

not caring whether they distinguished

which the possibility Of strike against

was conducting. Officials OF the de-

absurd.

Senator LaFollette renewed his attack
Of yesterday.
..The postoffce has not only dis

Senator LaFollette. He declared the

Two Amendments Accepted.
The senate finally agreed to tne

Value If One Has Much Core
~spondence While Travelling.

A blotter which is precisely the
thing for a small-sized desk or for the
man or woma traveller who carries
about personal correspondence conve-
niences, consists of a half-circle-shap-
ed lidded box which is five inches
long and two and a half inches wide
at its top and describes a perfect half
curve at its bottom. Such a blotter
is readily made of two sides of card
board, joined by a third two and a
half inch wide straight strip of the
dimensions of the curve and its top
consists of an oblong-shaped ribbon
hanged lid which lifts by means of a
small ribbon loop and discloses a
tray of cardboard with slightly curved
ends and straight sides which must
be forced evenly into position and is
intended to hold pens, pencils, post
age, etc. Before joining the sides and
lids of this little receptacle, they
should be covered with some attrac-
~tive-looking c~retonne or any smooth
backed figured fabric which can be
glued on and when joined, the raw
edges should be concealed beneath a
narrow gimp of metallic thread. The
blotter bottom is equipped with sew
eral layers of blotters sewn with
heavy thread to the ends Of the five
by two and a half inch strip, for these
may readily be torn away when ink
soaked and in a di~sintegrating condi-
ton.

FEARED FOR HIS CHARACTER
Disciple Of Bacchus Evidently Real
lied That Circumstances Looked
Bad for Him.

Harry was a faithful servant OF a
large cotton planter whom he called,
after the manner of slavery days,
M'Sam (Marse SAM. At stated in
tervals Harry was wont to get glori-
ously drunk; and N night in the fall,
after a day in town, the mules hitched
to his wagon drew up before the lot
of the plantation, with Harry pros
trate and snoring in the bottom OF the
wagon. Here one of his numerous
progeny, a boy named Job, discovered
him, and unable to awaken his father,
or to secure any assistance from Har-
rvs disguised wife, he appealed to the
planter, who had the mules u%nhitched,
covered Harry with a blanket and with
his own hands dragged the wagon un-
der a shed.
Next morning Harry woke hazfly
and sat up, rubbing his eyes. "Job!"
he cried aloud; "hurrah heer, Jobl"
and when Job had come under the
shed. How come here?"
Job sulkily explained how it had
happened.
did M'Sam pull me under here?"
asked Harry in dismay. "Gret Lordy,
l feared he t'nk l mus drunk!"-Kan-
