TO TRY FRANKLIN
FOR ALLEGED BRIBERY

Los Angeles, CAL, Feb. 29.-Three
months to a day after his alleged
bribery of Juror Balm and attempted
bribery of Juror Lockwood, Bert H.
Franklin, former chief of detectives
for the Mcnamara defense, will go on
trial tomorrow. 1t is alleged that
Franklin will accuse Clarence S. Dar-
row, the Chicago labor attorney now
under indictment for bribery, with re-
sponsibility for the alleged corruption
of jurors.
Franklin, 1t is rumored, will be the
chief witness of the state against OAR
row. 1t is known that Franklin has
had several conferences with Assist
ant District Attorney Ford, and it is
believed that he has been promised
immunity If he will lay bare the entire
affair.
Franklin has denied that he has
been offered immunity, but is equally
positive that he will never spend a
day in prison. He has admitted that
he is willing to tell all he knows about
the alleged jury bribing.
3'I will not commit perjury for any
one" Franklin asserted following his
arrest 1t is declared that Franklin
will say that Darrow was present
when the alleged bride was passed.
This was on November 2S, last, few
days before barrow urged the McNam-
aras to plead guilty, following Fran
Inns arrest and the discovery of the
alleged bribery conspiracy.
1t has been charged that Franklin
was an employee of the district attor-
neys office at the same time he was
in charge of the detectives engaged
by the Mcnamara defense. This
Franklin denies. IF | ever did any
thing wrong" asserts Franklin, ut
was while was employed by the Nc
Namara attorneys and not for w. ].

ENORMOUS INCREASE IN
PACKING HOUSE PRODUCTS.

Washington, March 1.-Uncle Sam
has just completed his balance of ex-
ports and imports of packing house
products and finds that he is $4,000
900 to the good, which is an increase
over 1910 of $65,OO0,OOO, or S12 per
cent. According to a recent announce
ment of Secretary Wilson of the de-
partment of agriculture, there was
$751;, 100000 worth of packing house
products exported during 1911, which
is an increase over 1910 of $21, 900, 900,
or 1914 per cent. The imports during
1911, which consisted principally of
hides and skins, amounted to $4,000.
900. or $44,OOO,OOO less than the pre-.
vious year.

NEW YORK STATE
C. 0. P. CONSERVATIVE

= New York, Feb. 29-Williani Barnes,
Jr., of Albany, chairman OF the New
York state republican committee, who
has been having brief vacation in
Cuba, is expected to return tomorrow,
when plans for the republican state
convention will be worked out. The
convention will be held April In
Rochester, and, according to local lead
ers, the conservative wing of the party
will be in complete control, although
it is expected that the Roosevelt
forces will make demonstration.
DR.. Nicholas Murray Butler, presi-
dent of Columbia, and DR.. Jacob Gould
Schurman, president of Cornell, are
said to have been given the job Of
drafting a platform. That it will be
ultra conservative, with not trace Of
the radical planks advocated by West
ern insurgents unless by way of de-
nunciation, is assured. 1t has even
been intimated that a plank may be
included demanding the repeal of the
Sherman antitrust law as injurious to
business interests, but it is not likely
that the conservatives will risk ad-
verse public opinion so far as that.
Unless there is great change in
sentiment between now and April 8,
the Rochester platform will represent
in its entirety the conservative COM
mercial and financial interests of the
Empire state. The delegation chosen
by the convention to go to the national
gathering in Chicago will offer the
New York state platform as a model
to be followed and will urge a return
to "old-time republicanism.
Colonel Roosevelt is expected to
make strong fight against the pro-
posed adoption of a conservative plat
form, but the general opinion of politi-
clans is that the business interests
will be in control and that New York
state will have a declaration of princi-
pies more conservative than any in
years.

dency toward placing small league
clubs in big cities to fill the time when
the big league club is away from home
is growing all over the country and
next year it is likely that the expert

Wood Block Pavement.

| In Chicago, where all kinds of pave
ment have been tried under the heav-
| lest traffic in the world, creosoted
heart-pine wood blocks, laid on con-
crete and surfaced with a sprinkling
of sharp sand, have been given final
preference in the most heavily trav-
eled downtown streets. It lessons
noise of traffic so per cent; it length
ems the life Of horses driven over 1t;
it stays smoother and wears longer
than any other pavement.
Texas has no end of the raw mate
rial. Texas cities should use it, Hous-
ton leading the way. But it must be
borne in mind that this kind of paw
ing won't stand being torn up every
six months to lay down pipes that
should have been laid in advance.
Once torn up, wood block pavement
never goes back satisfactorily

Thousands who suffer from back
ache and kidney complaint have tried
one remedy after another, finding only
temporary benefit. This is discoruag-
ing, but there is one special kidney
medicine that cures permanently and
there is plenty of proof right here in
Bryan. a
Here is the testimony Of one who
used Doan's Kidney Pills years ago,
and now states that the cure was
lasting.
John P. Stacey, Austin Street, Bryan,
Texas, says: "Doans Kidney Pills
gave me splendid relief. When about
seventeen years old strained my back
and this caused kidney trouble. Doan's
Kidney Pills, procured at Emmel's
drug store, toned up my system and
helped me in every way. Whenever
resort to this remedy am benefited"
