FINE RAIN Is FALLING TODAY.

A steady rain has been falling to-
day which was badly needed. Thou.
sands of acres of late sown grain
have been at standstll and the

rain appears to be quite general and
while it is interfering with scores Of
celebrations over the state today, It
is gladly welcomed by all.

Admits He Gave Franklin Check But For Legitim-
 ate Purposes.
JUROR IS DISCHARGED
Thirteenth Juror Takes Place of J. X, Leavitt Who Was Objected to
 By Darr0w's Counsel.

Los Angeles, Cal, July 29--Clar- ence s. Darow, who is on trial for the alleged bribery of jurors in the Me- Namara trial, went on the witness stand shotly after f o'clock this aft- ernoon and began his attack by way of testimony upon the case built up agalnst him by the prosecution. Dar- row was permitted for the most part tC gve extended answers which amounted to a narrative Of the events involved, rather than formal answers to questions in detail He spoke rapidly, earnestly and with appear anee of desire to be frank with the jury
 Just before adjou 'nmant Barrow testified that he gave no $1 900 check to Bet llfranAlin on October 6. He stated that he did give him $1,000 check just as l gave him checks before and after that date in the regular course Of businessfor legiti- mate purposes.
 Franklin testified that Darrow gave him a check October 6 following ccnver sation October about a jury bribery, and that he used the money gotten on this check in the payment of the $4O0 to Juror Robert Bain.
 Darrow's testimony today d:scloses the contention of the defense to be that the $l 000 check Was given the day before Franklin claims DarrOw talked 10 him about jury bribery, and that no check for Si,009 was given Octobe 6. The check of October 4 will be introduced in evidence to- moroY morning.
 Juror l.. A. Leavitt was finally dis charged tn morning and the shir- lar juror. This is the first time in any Ia juror This is the fist time in any trial in this country in which thir- teenth juror has filled vacancy in the jury caused by death Or illness.

PHYSICIANS SAY DOGS
 SHOULD BE MUZZLED
Is a Measure To Insure Public Safety and Canine Owners Should Com.
 rDly With Ordinance.

Dr. o. D. Campbell, the eminent young Veterinarian and specialist in canine diseases, when interviewed by a Graphic representative yesterday In connection with the matter of muZzl- 'ng dogs, said: q have read the copy of the editorial that is 70 appear in your paper Tuesday and l am sure everyone who reads it will readily understand way i. is imperative. that dogs be muzzled and those who own dogs will muzzle them without delay. By all means, I adv Sc the people to comply with the ordinance. It is measure To insure public safety. The simple, sensible and humane thing to do is to muzzle the dogs"
 In conversation with a Graphic man yesterday Err. Asa Brunson. the county physician, said: Most as- suredly, all dogs permitted to run at large at this season should be muz- bled. The importance of this cannot be overs,.ated. The trouble and ex- pense of muzzling million dogs is trifling matter when weighed against the death of single child by hydrophobia. Muzzle the dogs!"

HOUSE FIGHTS
 TARIFF BOARD Refuses Senate Excise Bill Which Provides for Con tlnuance of Board.
SENT TO CONFERENCE
Requirement of Body to Report to Congress Did Not Remove
 Hostility of Democrats.

Washington, July 29-Acting un- der instructions of the Ways and Means Committee, Chairman Under wood will report unfavorably to the House the excise income tax bill and the wool schedule revision bill as they passed the Senate. The House will disagree with the Senate amend ment and the b..ls will be sem, to con- ference.
 The Senate added to the excise in- come tax bill provisions for the con- tinrance of the tariff board and for the repeal of the Canadian reciprocity pact. The Tariff board is required however, to report annually to the Congress as we'll as 10 the president This requirement, it was thought, would have the effect of removing ill some measure the opposition of the Democrats 10 the tariff board and se- cure acceptance of the Senate amend lnent without, further disagreement. Underwood found the Democrats as hostile as formerly to the tariff board and the fight against it will be re- newed.
 The wool bil sent to the House by the Senate is the Republican wool bill of two years ago and will not be accepted by the Democrats because of it's prohibitive duty.
 Decision was reached by the Ways and Means Committee to push the cot ton revision bill which is now on the House calendar. Underwood will call up for early action ihe cotton and wool bills and the excise income tax bill, giving the Senate the cotton bill to act on and putting the wool and
