NEW YORK, Nov 2--An announce
ment was made by friends of Presi-
dent Taft tonight that in all probable
ity his choice for vice president would
be made public tomorrow. Two names
said to be considered most prominent
ly, are those of Governor Hadley of
Missouri, and John Wanamaker of
Philadelphia. Argument in favor of
Hadley is that progressive should
be named for second place On be-
half of Wanamaker, the claim is made
that he would save Pennsylvania for
Taft, Some of Taft's advisors urged
Governor Hadley ON the ground that
in case of deadlock in the electoral
college and in the house of representa-
tives Hadley might receive the votes
of both the progressive and regular
republicans in the senate.

PAYS HIS
RESPECTS TO
WOODROW
CONGRESSMAN RODENBURG UN-
CORKS THE PHIALS OF HIS AL
LEGGED SARCASM, AND INTER-
ESTS HIMSELF.
UNITED pREss LEASED wlar.l

Washington, July 26.--Dubbing
Woodrow Wilson as the "anti-Jeffer-
son, anti-foreign, anti-labor, anti-sol-
dier, Prof. Chinese candidate for the
presidency" Congressman Rodenburg,
of Illinois, discussed in the house to-
day the writings Of the Democratic
presidential nominee.
Rodenburg quoted Wilson's History
of the American people and referred
especially to the statement made there
in that Jefferson was ian aristocrat,
who deliberately practiced the arts Of
the politician. Washington found in
him a guide who needed watching"
Rodenburg also referred to Wilson s
baccaulaureate sermon on organized
labor, and commented thereon thus:
81 do not agree with Professor Will
son that trades unionlsts are 'unprofit-
able servants l do not believe that
the unionist is trying to give as lit
tie as he may for his wages.'
Wilson's eulogy of Grover Cleveland
for vetoing pension bills was then
read. In It Wilson declared that such
legislation was "unjustifiable use of
public money, and gross use for
charity" Rodenburg said;
Wilson may have experienced a
change of heart when he applied him
self to Andrew Carnegie for a pension,
his application being based on his
mere service as an educator
The Illinois congressman also quot
ed an old Wilson letter. critlcising
William ]. Bryan, and added:
"This is his opinion OF Bryan. Yet
today he is prepared to don sackcloth
and ashes and to eat out of the hand
Of the man he denounced as an 'un-
tried claimerl'"
Bryan also came in for share Of
Rodenburg's denunciation.
For 16 years. he said, "Bryan has
been Democracy's old man Of the
seal Disregarding every considera-
tion of decency and fair play, he sue
ceeded in robbing Champ Clark Of the
nomination. The impartial historian
will write of his betrayal at Baltimore

asylum because of worry over the liti-
cation. During the past three years
the board of control has been adjudi-
eating water rights at practically no
expense to settlers, but now the Pa
cific Live Stock company desires to
carry the determination of the water
rights of the Silyies river into the
federal courts, and served notice to
that effect on State Engineer Lewis
today. Realizing that they will be
unable to fight this immensely rich
company in the federal courts the set
tiers have appealed tc Engineer Lewis
to deny the petition of the company
and set the states legal machinery to
work at fighting the move on the part
of the company to upset the present
system and substitute the old court
system.
The Pacific Live Stock company Is
a California corporation with head
quarters at San Francisco. For years
settlers having been warning with it
in the courts with relation to water
rights ON the Silyies river. Pursuant
to a petition of the settlers the board
of control started to adjudicate the
water rights Of the stream and fixed
August rs as the time. Now the cor
poration declares that in view Of the
fact that it is a foreign concern that
1t is entitled to remove the matter to
the federal court for adjudication and
that the board of control has no right
to adjudicate the water rights. 1t
claims that the controversy is one be-
tween citizens of different states and
that because of this the federal court
exercises jurisdiction.
While the state engineer has not an
nounced his decision, 1t is understood
that he will deny the petition of the
company and throw the burden of the
fight on it by forcing 1t to sue out
writ in the federal courts to restrain
him from proceeding with the deter
mination and thereby making the
fight one between the state and the
company instead Of one between lot
of poor settlers and a wealthy corpo-
ration.

Los Angeles, CAL, July 26.-That
Clarence s. Darrow will take the stand
in his own behalf before the day clos
es to disprove the charge Of jury brib-
ing was made practically certain du-
ring the morning session of the trial
here today.
A change Of plans by attorneys for
the defense was indicated when Earl
Rogers gave out private tip that the
next witness called would be Mrs.
Darrow, wife Of the defendant, and
then the defendant himself. Just what
Mrs. Darrow will testify to is ex-
tremely problematical, but 1t is
thought she will be placed on the
stand to deny portions of the testl-
mony of John r. Harrington, who tes-
titled for the state that Darrow had
approached him in an effort to in
yeigle him into the alleged bribery.
The entire morning session was
taken up in the cross-examlnation Of
Lecomte Davis former associate conn
sci with Darrow in the Mcnamara de-
fense. District Attorney Fredricks
attempted to tangle Davis up as to the
dates of the plan to have the McNa-
maras plead guilty and the date the
bribery was committed. Davis, how
ever stuck to his story throughout.
"Do you remember that on the day
before Thanksgiving last I told you to
call me up n 2 p. m. Thanksgiving
Day?" asked Fredericks.
Yes, called you up, but you we're
not there
Don't you remember that | was
there, and that You told me you were
still working on the McNamaras to get
them to plead guilty, and l told you to

Eyes. I remember that conversa-
ton" answered Davis.
"Isn't it a fact that you never talked
to ma about the McNamaras pleading
guilty?'
"No, remember talking to you
about IT,"
isn't It fact that on Wednesday
the day after Franklln's arrest, you
and Darrow came to my office, and
asked me what my terms were, and ]
said that both must plead guilty add
ing that Balm was outside waiting to
tell his story?' @
"That wasn't the conversation Az

Frederlcks then took another tack.
