 Mrs. l.. J. Donaldson, assistant SUD- of the Illinois Cchildren's Home and Aid society, said that a normal baby costs $3 week as min- imum estimate.

OYSTER BAY, N. Y., Aug. 27.-Col. Roosevelt desires to bring the names of Alton B. Parker, democratic nom- inee for the presidency in 1904, and James Sherman, vice president of the United States, into the inquiry into campaign contributions authorized yes terday by the senate by the adoption of the Penrose resolution.
 He said today that he would place their names before the senate con- mittee in his letter to Senator Clapp
 'T shall include in my letter to Sen- ator Clapp," the Colonel said, "tfie letter which I wrote to Judge Park CT in 1904, and my letter to MT. Sher- man on the Hartman contribution. I think they are pertinent to the in- quiry and I want to get them on the record
 The letter to Judge Parker was in reply to Judge Parkers charge that Roosevelt's 1904 campaign fund had been enriched $1OO,OOO by a Standard Oil Company contribution. The let ter to MT. Sherman gave the Roose- welt version of the Harriman-ROose- welt controversy over a contribution by the late E. H. Hartman of $260,G00 to the 1904 campaign fund.
 "Nor will Colonel Roosevelt allow to go unchallenged the report hat Philander c. Knox, now secretary of State, saw him in 1904, as he was dictating a letter to George B. Cortel- you about the alleged Standard Oil contribution and told him that the

 HERMosA BACKBONE VISITOR WAS SURPRISED TO FIND HERE-soME TOURISTS GROSSLY IGNORANT.

Tourists, three trains of them, dis covered Yuma this morning during the
 blockade caused by the Buckeye wash out. They looked here and they look ed there and observing no signs of Mexican rebels or scalping Indians, they gradually worked their way tL the end of Main street. The peace full vista from this end of Yuma grounded their assurance and they boldly entered the town.
 Think of it! A real auto-bus in Yuma and round trip fare to Her mosa beach for only 25c. They went all of them-to Hermosa beach, and when they came back some one, pos sibly school teacher, said, '"That Yuma soldier who died and went to- we'll, after he died-and wore a blank ct there to keep warm because he was from Yuma, should have taken bathing suit instead to remind him of the cool swims he enjoyed in Yu- ma" Shades of MT.

 He did not run towrds the tree any branches of the tree fly in all direc- further, but made tracks in another direction about as fast as any Mexican ever did make tracks. When he had reached the house of the nearest neighbor he could scarcely speak, and it was some time before he could make the people in the house under stand what had happened
 Notwithstanding the old saying that lightning never strikes twice in the same place, no one cared to go near the tree till the storm had passed Some of the people of the house fin ally went with the Mexican and they found the other Mexican dead. Blood was running from his ears, this was the only mark of injury on him.
 AS soon as a telephone could be reached O. c. Johnson, the under taker was summoned and late in the evening brought the body to town.

About two o'clock yesterday after noon a heavy clap of thunder preced- ed by bright flash of lightning, and followed by heavy rain caused some excitement, but only late in the even- ing was it known that an unknown woodchopper near Bard had been kill ed by the lightning.
 This one was Mexican Cholo who with a companion was engaged in clearing land in a field half way be- tween Yuma and Bard, when the show CT of rain came up. There was a large tree in the field and the con- panion who was near it took refuge under its branches and the first men, tion who was some distance away started to run for it. He had run but a few steps when there was a blind ing flash and a terrible roar that brought him to a standstill, and look ing towards the tree he saw his com panion fall to the ground, and the

 Judge Goodnow was asked today whether he had ever figured out. just how much it takes to provide food, clothing and amusement for healthy normal child for a week.
 Depends on the Father
 'I never figured it out," he an swered. "When I get case like the one yesterday have to estimate what the father himself requires and then base the child's allowance on the re- sidue. I think it is possible for a child to subsist and be fairly happy and healthy on $2 a week When a father comes along, though, who is making from $20 to $25 a week I let the baby have $4 or $5 to live on. That much should keep it in pretty good circum- stances"

DARaOH BRIDEp Jurors.
M'NAMARAS' CHIEF COUNSEL
HIMSELF BROUGHT IN.
Two Bills Accuse Him of Furnishing
Money for Corruption OF Balm and
Lockwood.

Los Angeles, Jan. 29.-Clarence S.
Darrow, union labor attorney, today
was indicted for bribery and corrup-
ton Of jurors by the county grand
jury which for four weeks has been
investigating allegations Of corrup-
ton in connection with the trial jury
IN the Mcnamara dynamite case.
Two indictments were returned,
containing four counts.
Two of the counts charge Darrow
with the bribery and attempted cor
ruption Of Robert Balm, the first
juror sworn to try James B. McNa-
mara, the confessed dynamiter and
murderer now serving a life term in
San Quentin prison. The remaining
counts allege the bribery and corrup-
ton Of George y. Lockwood, venire-
man summoned in the Mcnamara
case.
Bert Franklin, a detective, who is
alleged actually to have passed the
bribe money to Balm and Lockwood,
Is accused Of the same offense in in
formations filed some time ago in the
superior court. Franklin's trial has
been set for February 81
The maximum penalty that could
be imposed on Darrow for conviction
on all counts Is 80 years imprison-
ment and fines aggregating $4,000.
He is under $4,000 bail, but tonight
the former chief defender Of the Nc
Namaras said he was glad the sus-
pense was over and that he would
face arraignment on Thursday in the
superior court with an equanimity
born of his innocence.
Darrow had several days notice
OF the impending accusations, and on
Saturday he retained Earl Rodgers,
an attorney, who directed the first
work of unearthing evidence against
The Times building dynamiters, and
who later, as a special prosecutor,
had charge Of the grand jury investi-
