FRANKLIN MAY BE
CALLED BY DEFENSE

Los Angeles, July 17.-Bert H.
Franklin, confessed jury briber and
star state witness, and John r. Har-
rington of Chicago, also a state wit
ness, will be called to the witness
stand by the defense in the Darrow
trial tomorrow, this was admitted to-
day by the defendant when he re-
quested the court to order the men
TO report tomorrow to testify.
The nature of their probable testi-
mony was not divulged but it is be-
lieved they will be asked to corrobo-
rate statements made by the defense
witnesses who were called with the
object of impeaching the testimony
given by Franklin when he appeared
for the state.
Fremont Older, editor of a San
Francisco daily newspaper was call
ed to the stand by the defense today.
He testified he furnished bail money
for John r. Harrington, when Har-
rington was jailed in San Francisco
for refusing to answer questions pro-
pounded to him when he was before
the Los Angeles county grand jury.
Harrington, following his release
from Jail told Older there was no cor
ruption in the Mcnamara trial and
that Darrow explicitly forbade any ac-
ton by any person connected with
the defense that would be a violation
of law.

TWO C0NVICTS ARE
SENT BACK TO Pen

One parole violator and one es-
capped convict, both sent up originally
from Umatilla county, were started
back to prison this morning when
Shefiff T. d. Taylor delivered Harry
Luton and Claude Franklin into the
custody of Guard Busick of the state
penitentiary. Another Umatilla con-
vict, Edward Adams, is at large and
the officers are keeping a strict watch
for him.
Luton is the Indian who was sent
up from here several years ago for
horse stealing and who was paroled
recently and sent back to his home on
the reservation. One of the conditions
of his parole was that he leave in
toXicating liquors alone and yesterday
when he was noticed under the in
fluence of whiskey he was arrested
and the state authorities notified.
Frankling was sent up by the local
court for burglary committed at Ad-
ans. While working at the state asy-
lum as trusty, he made his escape
and was picked up in Pasco.
Adams was only sent up a short
time ago for assault upon the person
of squaw and had been sent to
work in the Hood River convict camp
from where he made his escape. The
local officers consider him degen-
crate and criminal of the worst type
and are particularly anxious to nut
him behind the bars again.

new YORK POLICE
MAY FACE PROBE
SAID THAT INVESTIGATION
SURE TO FOLLOW CHARGES
Allegations Are That Department Is
Mixed Up in Murder of
Rosenthal.

New York, July 17.-That the New
York police department will be sub
jected to a serious investigation seems
to be evident from recent develop
ments in connection with the Rosen-
thai murder.
In a letter to the district attorney,
Police Commissioner Waldo discredits
the report that the police department
had anything to do with the murder
of the man. Allegations, however,
would connect the department with
the crime and give as the reason an
endeavor to cover up any evidence
which Rosenthal might have given on
the subject of the police and the
gambling interests.
Waldos letter ridiculed some
charges against the police but did not
deny that some members of the po-
lice department might be guilty. a
new feature developed in the Rosen-
thai murder today when a mysterious
woman informed District Attorney
Whitman that she had seen a touring
car similar to that used by Rosen-
thals' slayers standing in front of the
home of Police Lieutenant Becker
from six to nine on the night before
Rosenthal was killed The woman
went to the coroner's office where she
identified the car used by the murder
ers as the one she had seen in front
of Becker's home.

Harvesting of the record breaking

that fully three-fourths of the ranch

Engines to Drive Machinery.
Gasoline is taking an important
place this year in the harvesting of
the crop and its use will undoubtedly
add many thousands of bushels to the
yield A considerable number of the
farmers have purchased gasoline en-
gines with which to driye the machin-
cry of their combines, leaving the
horses only traction work to do. BY
the employment of these engines. the
greater portion of the grain which has
been blown down can be saved.

SWALLOWS SPIDER;
BOY NEARLY DIES

Swallowing a spider by mistake
proved almost fatal to Archie Rugg,
the eighteen-year-o son of Mr.. and
Mrs. G. w. Rugg of this city last Sum
day and he owes his life to the prompt
medical attendance secured. The
poison in the little insect became diff
fused through his blood and had gain
ed such headway in its deadly work
that the physician had hard fight.
Young Rugg, who Is we'll known
high school athlete, went out to his
fathers sheep ranch south Of Pilot
Rock Sunday and in the course Of the
day went to the spring to get a buck
ct of water. While there he picked
a handful of mint and ate it, Evil
dently a little spider was concealed
among the mint leaves for, within q
short time the young man became
deathly sick and soon large white
spots appeared on his face and body,
Becoming alarmed, the family sum-
moned DR. Fred Lieuallen of Pilot
Rock who succeeded in combating the
work of the poison successfully,
Though still weak from his expert
ence, young Rugg is suffering no
other i'll effects Of his sudden and pc
culiar illness.

move forward with a certain speed
and to prevent the machine from
choking, it was necessary to avoid
cutting the straw too long and, hence,
it was almost impossible to run the
sickle low enough to pick up the fall
len grain. Now a constant rate of
speed can be maintained by the ma
chinery regardless of the motion of
the combine and thus it is possible to
take much more straw and go down
after the fallen grain.
1t was largely a recognition of this
superior process which led Hyman H.
Cohen, market editor of the Portland
Journal and crop expert, to raise his
estimate today of the 1912 yield of
Umatilla county from 5,5OO,OOO bush
els to 100000 bushels after an ex-
tended invitation of crop conditions
in various sections of the county.
Among the farmers who have pur-
chased these gasoline engines and in
stalled them on their combines are
l.. L. Mann, Marion Jack, Sam r.
Thompson, Storie & Ritner, Tom
Thompson, William Harden, Z. L.
Smith,, James Bell, William Caldwell
and A. b. Cooley. Each of them fig
ures on saving the cost of the en-
gines in the added amount of grain
saved and because they reduce the
number of horses necessary for the
pulling of the machines, the arrange
ment allows them to do summer fall.

BODY BELIEVED TO

ney Whitman was notified today of
the presence at a morgue in Hoboker
of body answering the description
Of Nathan Swartz, the boy whose ia

der of 14-year-old Julia Corners.
The body was found in the Hud-
son river. Even the clothing was
identical with that worn by the boy
when last seen. District Attorney
Whitman ordered a member of his
staff to get Swartz, the father, and
have him view the body.
The police are not sure the body
was that of the alleged slayer.
Swartz's brother-in-law said 1t was
not but the police were dissatisfied
with the statements Of Alexander, the
brother-in-law and asked the father
to look at the corpse.

BELT TO BE PRIZE
FOR BEST COWBOY

To the man who establishes the
highest claim to the title of best all
around cowboy at the Roundup this
fall will be awarded a handsome. belt,
studded with solid gold and bearing IN
front a solid gold plate designed with
wild west scene. The donor of this
trophy will be the Police Gazette, the
best known of the national sporting
weekles.
Director Mark Moorhouse of the
Roundup, has been in communlca-
ton with Charles j. Fox, son of the
publisher of the magazine, for some
time and yesterday received a letter
announcing the decision to award
the belt. The writer declares 1t will
be the most handsome belt of its
kind ever awarded and something
which will stir the cowboys to their
best efforts.
The Roundup directors have not
yet decided how points will be award
ed in deciding the contest but an
nounce that the greatest number of
points will be given in events where
the prowess of the man counts above
all else.
Thus broncho busting, steer rop-
ing, bull dogging and such events will
count more than the races in which
the speed of the horse counts for as
much or more than the riding.
The trophy belt will be in addition
to the other prizes put up for the
different events and once won be-
comes the permanent property of the
winner,

Judge MaIoney Tells How "Machin-
cry" Was Manipulated Against
Progressives at Baltimore.
TAMMANY FOR GAYNOR
Judge Found II Hard Matter to Get
Into Hall Wearing "Wln With
Wilson" Badge--Banquct at Quelle
Last Night Attracts Members of
Both Parties.

Though his voice is still husky
from shouting for Woodrow Wilson
at Baltimore, Judge j. w. Maloney,
Pendleton's delegate to the democrat
ic national convention. told in a most
interesting manner last night of his
experiences during the great gather
ing and also of his visit to the
steam roller" convention at Chicago.
Judge Maloney was the chief
speaker at a banquet given at the
Quelle in honor of himself and VIII
liam Blakeley who made the trip to
Baltimore as spector. Upon being
called upon by VIII NJ. Peterson,
POSTMASTER, the local delegate apol-
ogized for his weakened voice but
said he felt consoled in that he had
come by his hoarseness in a good
cause. He did not attempt an ex-
tended speech, yet gave an informal
though eloquent narrative of his ex-
periences and Impressions. At the
Baltimore convention the interests
made a bold attempt to capture the
convention and to dominate the sit
uation Just as they had done at Chi
cago. They were blocked In their
attempt by the powerful influence of
Bryan and the fact the greater por-
tion of the delegates wanted to name
a progressive and we're willing to op-
pose the Ryan Belmont-Murphy
crowd when informed as to the sit
uatlon.
Tammany Wanted GaynOr.
That Tammany hoped for the time
to come when Gaynor could be placed
before the convention is the belief of
Judge Maloney He thinks it was the
game OF the reactionaries to get away
from any of the men before the con-
vention If possible to do so. How
ever. their plans went glimmering
when the Wilson movement steadily
gathered strength.
A sample of how the convention
machinery was manipulated against
the progressives was experienced by
the judge when one day, accCmpan-
led by Victor Noses delegate from
Corvallis he sought the open air for
awhile on returning to the conven-
ton both men were denied admit
tance and even though they made
known the fact they were delegates
they had the greatest difficulty get
ting back to their seats. They dis
covered that the cause of their trou-
bile was the win With Wilson" badges
they were wearing. The next time
he sought to enter the building he
removed his badge before reaching,
the door and met with no trouble.
High Praise for Wilson.
In the course of his talk Judge
Maloney aid a strong tribute Cover
nor Wilson and the forces that back
ed him throughout the convention. He
estimates him as one of the most able
men of the country and declares that
he will be elected this fall.
Roosevelt Was Jobbed.
In describing his experiences at
Chicago, Judge Maloney declared 1t
to be his conviction that the republi-
can nomination was stolen by the Taft
forces and that the president is not
