and the case will be carried into the
District court for settlement.
Mr.. Wallis notified dairymen in this

no notice of the warning, and after a
conversation with them Mr.. Wallis
stated that this would be made test

use of the milk are injurious to users.

troops acting under orders supposed
to have been given by President yuan
Shi Kai, according to a report that

FIGHTS SECOND TRIAL
DARROW's COUNSEL SEEK TO
QUASI Balm INDICTMENT.
District Attorney Determined to Again
Prosecute Chicago Labor Attor-
ney for Jury Bribing.

Los Angeles, Cal, Aug. 2o.-Ine
fight of Clarence Darrow against
second trial on charge OF bribery
growing out of the Mcnamara case
was begun when the Balm case came
up before Judge Hutton to be set tor
trial
A determined contention that the
Balm indictment should be quasheo
was presented by Darrow's attorneys
Rogers and Appel, and the court TOOK
the legal aspect of the case under con
sideration.
In the possible event that the in
dictment is set aside, barrow may De
tried on a new indictment. Dlstrlct
Attorney Fredericks, more deter
mined than ever to prosecute barrow
on the Balm charge, asserted that he
did not deem the grounds for the set
ting aside of the Balm indictment sum
cient, but if it should be, he would
very likely" bring another indictment
against barrow.
The arguments presented by Oar
TOW attorneys against the SSt.iAS Va
the case, and in favor of having the
indictment set aside. were three IN
number. They contended that all the
evidence in the Balm cases was sub
mitted by the district attorney in the
Lockwood case, and therefore a sec
ond trial would be useless.
They declared the rule that the de-
PENDANT must be brought to trial with
in sixty days from the date of the
indictment had been disregarded.
The third contention was that the
state, in the Lockwood case, attempted
to prove conspiracy to bride jurors,
but that by the verdict of acquittal,
these charges were shown to be
groundless, and the bringing of the
defendant to trial on the second jury
bribery charge would place him twice
in jeopardy.
The further contention was made
that on account of the widespread in
terest in the case that has just closed
it would require four or five months
in securing jury and the cot to the
county would be great
