ROGERS
 ISEMbARRASSED

Los Angeles, June 14.-The participa- tion of Attorney Earl Rogers in the McNamara prosecution confronted him in today's trial of Clarence S Darrow for jury bribery.
 Not only did his participation threaten to cause his withdrawal as chief counsel for the Darrow defense. but 1t also evoked from the prosecution threat which. if fulfilled, may mean the abrupt ending of the trial tomorrow. This was the construction upon District Attorney Fredericks declaration that the prosecu- ton would not proceed. if Rogers won his point with the court, which will be get tied finally tomorrow morning.
 Rogers asked that Olaf A. Tveitmoe and Anton Johannsen, San Francisco labor leaders. be placed on the stand in order to clear up a point of diver gonoe between Rogers and his client arising out of the Caplan matter. which came into evidence yesterday.
 Rogers argued that unless evidence was admitted at once showing his part in the Caplan matter while engaged in clearing up the Times explosion con spiracy 1t would be impossible for him to proceed and would jeopardize the Interests of his client. He held that only the immediate appearance on the stand of the witnesses indicated would relieve his embarrassment and permit him to continue.
 The matter went over until tomor- row.

T|RP|Tz ON THE
 GERMAN VISIT

Berlin, June 4.-Admiral von Tirpitz, German minister of marine, today Issued the following statement in connection with the recent visit to American waters of Admiral Won Rebeur- Patschwitz with the cruisers Moltke, Stettin and Bremen:
 T am highly gratified at the unusually harmonious course of this visit and hope confidently that the bond of comradeship and friendship formed between the two navies will continue for all time. In the festive events of those days see a new proof that one of tho most agreeable functions of a navy in peace is to bring nearer together peoples separated by sea and to strengthen their mutual relations. It has especially gratided me that the latest creation of German naval archi- lecture. the cruiser Moltke. has found the approval of my comrades of the Urited States navy, whose technical standing Is so high"

ROBSON OPPOSES
 CONVENTION PLAN Believes Poor Man Has Lit tie Chance Under System IS VERY OPTIMISTIC
Favors Federal Aid in Development of State Resources, Development of Waterways and Education
 of the Masses

Montgomery, June 14.-(Special. .)-"1 knew what I was doing when an- nounced my candidacy for the United States senater in 1914, and I have no intention of letting the grass grow under my feet during the next two years declared Capt. Richmond P. Hobson, con- gressman from the Sixth Alabama dis trict. who was in Montgomery today.
 Captain Hobson spoke of his campaign in the most emphatic manner, declaring that 1t would be a pretty fight and, so far as he is concerned. one that will offer many innovations in the political arena. In the first place. Captain Hob- son does not intend to let his campaign cost him anything. and in this respect will pursue the same policy he followed in his recent fight in the Sixth district when he ran for Congress against Frank s. Moody of Tuscaloosa
 . Captain Hobson referred to his resolu- ton which Is pending in Congress look ing to the abolition of the convention system, and declared that in his opinion this system would obtain in the United States within the next five or ten years.
 Convention System Expensive
 .sFhe convention system is expensive, said Captain Hobson land the poor man has little chance in running for office un- der our present system. l believe in al lowing the people of the nation to run the machinery of government, In letting them nominate their presidential candi- date and other candidates for office, and in giving them a larger share in our poli- tical government than they now possess.
 Other blanks in Captain Hobson's plat form embrace plans looking for federal aid in the development of state resources, the development of waterways, particu- larly that included between the gulf and the Tennessee river, and the education of the masses.
 T have great respect for Senator John ston,' said Captain Hobson. and I shall conduct my campaign against him in the fairest possible manner. The people of the state will see one of the prettiest campaigns that has ever been conducted in Alabama. I shall meet the people all over the state, and shall cheerfully meet any and all issues that may be brought up. I knew perfectly well what was doing when I announced that 1 would r,i for the Senate in 1914. and I have no in tention of letting the grass grow under my feet during the next two years"

ANOTHER STEP IN
 GUGGENHEIM SUIT

Chicago, June 14.--Another step was taken today in the Guggenheim divorce case when Circuit Judge Wines made formal entry of an order drafted by him last February dismissing three of the plealings of William Guggenheim and sustaining five of his pleas to the bill filed by Grace B.. .Guggenhirn, asking that the decree of divorce granted her in 1901 by Judge Dunne in Chicago be set aside.
 Counsel for Guggenhem contend that the order is a victory for him, estopping further action by the complainant. The woman's attorneys insist that the ruling will cause the divorce to be set aside One of the principal points on which the dispute rests is the claim by Mrs. Gug- genheim that she was not a resident of Chicago when the divorce was granted.
