Ambulance Called, But
Woman Declines Trip

When the Emergency Hospital ambu-
lance arrived at 1882 Fourteenth street
northwest at II o'clock today Mrs. Mol
lie Rudolph, wife of Jacob Rudolph, a
tailor. said that she would not go to
any hospital, that she did not need any
treatment, that she never had taken
any carbolic acid. There was a mis-
take somewhere, Mrs. Rudolph asserted
with great vehemence.
The ambulance went to the address to
rescue Mrs. Rudolph from supposed car
bolic acid poisoning. because Harry
Johnson, a colored man. living at 115S
Eighth street northwest. rang up head
quarters and said that Mrs. Rudolph
had summoned him frantically as he
passed the door and told him to call
help at once. Johnson says that Mrs.
Rudolph told him she had taken large
quantity Of the poison from bottle
on the bureau in her bedroom.
johnson ran to the nearest telephone,
notified the police at headquarters, and
the ambulance was sent flying to the
rescue. No rescue was effected for the
reasons above. Mrs. Rudolph told the
ambulance surgeon that she had beer
in a nervous state, and that she did
not remember exactly what she had
said to Johnson.

Still Blame Fall

Mexico City, August 19.-That the Mexi-

Of New Mexico largely responsible for the
failure to effect a reconciliation between
General PaseUai Orozco and the govern
ment of Mexico is declared in a state
mel.t tonight by Minister of the Interior
Flores Magon. replying to Senator Fair 5
speech in the United States Senate to-
day.
Senor Magon refers sarcastically to the
statement of the New Mexico senator
denying that he had endeavored to in
fluence Orozca in the latter's spirit of
defiance, and adds:
THE senator's denials fall flat when,
in the same speech. he recommends that
the United States recognize the beliger-
encv of the rebels" said the minister.
His interest in the welfare of the
Orozcoquistas speaks for itself
Regarding Senator Fails statement that
the Mexican government had in effect
recoa nized the bellgerency of the rebels,
Minister MACON declared that the over.

MOTION TO DISMISS
DARROW CHARGES
Judge Hutton Refuses to
Preside at Second
Trial

Los Angeles, Cal, August ia motion
to dismiss the indictment OF Clarence 8
Darrow on the charge of having bribed
Robert F. Balm, Mcnamara juror. Will
be argued tomorrow.
The motion was made today when Dar-
row appeared in court for the setting OF
his trial on the Balm charge. Several
grounds were advanced. including the
facts that there had been no trial with
ing the GO day limit after Indictment, as
provided by statute, and the defendant
had been once placed In jeopardy on the
same charge. II was argued that Darrow
had been tried on the Bain accusation as
a part of the general conspiracy charges
against him, and had been acquitted,
and that the prosecution had no evidence
against Darrow which had not been intro
duced in the recent trial.
Judge Hutton declared there was some
foundation for the request but he wished
to look further into the authorities cited.
Judge Hutton declared he would not
preside al second trial
1T would be inappropriate" he said,
as | have decided opinion as TO the guilt
OF innocence OF the defendant Most of
the judges In the county share my own
mental attitude. and ii probably would be
necessary to call upon the governor to
designate some judge to try the case
