Editorials

In the last issue OF the Tribune there
appeared communication in regard to
the Chamber of Commerce sending a
car Of provisions to the unfortunate ones
Of the east end of Ebert County. After
an interview with Mr. Cornforth by this
editor who was himself one Of the com
mittee appointed by the Chamber, we
will state to those whom it may concern
that no food or clothing were collected
and consequently no car has been sent
from this sectien of the county. Dem
yer however sent several cars as also
did Colorado Springs.
The reports of suffering in Ebert
County have been greatly exaggerated,
from late reports we understand that
ther" is practically no suffering in our
county, the distress is further east, near
the Kansas line

UP TO THE
DISTRICT
ATTORNEY
JUDGES REFUSAL TO DISMISS IN.
DICTMENT PASSES MATTER UP
TO FREDERICKS TO SAY WHETH.
Err HE WILL TRY DARROW
AGAIN.

Los Angeles, Cal, Aug. 26.-With
District Attorney John D. Fredericks
today rests the decision as to whether
Clarence s. Darrow will be brought to
trial on a charge of bribing Robert F.
Balm, a Juror in the Mcnamara trial.
Following the denial of Superior
Judge Willis, Of the defense's motion
to dismiss the indictment pending
against the Chicago attorney, the mat
ter rests solely with Fredericks, and
speculations are rife as to his prob
able action.
Judge Willis continued the case un-
til tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock to
be set for trial. 1t is regarded as
most probable that Fredericks will at
that time ask for a further continu-
ance or urge sufficient time before
trial to permit him to recuperate fully
from an illness which followed the
first Darrow trial.
Rogers also is suffering from the
strain of the first trial. Darrows
counsel today said that he is yet un-
decided whether to ask for an early
trial, fearing that he will be unable to
continue his work at least for month.
Fredericks did not appear in court to-
day. The state was represented by
Deputy Hammond, of the district at
torney's office.
Willis, who is presiding Judge of the
Los Angeles county superior court,
refused to verify a report that a Judge
from another county will be called to
sit If the case goes to trial. It is gen
orally believed that this will be done.
