Court Refuses to
Dismiss Charge Z
Against DarroW

Los ANGELES, Cal. Aug. 26-The mo.
tion of Clarence S. Darrow's attorneys
to dismiss the indictment charging the
former chief counsel of the McNamaras
with the bribery of Robert f. Bain,s the
first juror chosen to try James B. Nc
Namara, was denied today by Presiding
Judge Willis of the superior court The
case was continued until tomorrow, when
the date of Darrows trial on the Balm
charge will be set.
Attorneys for Darrow, and the defend
ant himself, were obviously disappointed
at the adverse ruling of the court. Earl
Rogers, chief consul for Darrow, argued
that as the jury which tried Darrow re-
Gently on the charge of having bribed
George Lockwood, had heard all of the
Balm evidence and held 1t to be insufff-
cient. 1t would be waste of time and an
unnecessary imposition upon Darrow to
bring him to trial again,
District Attorney John D. Fredericks
insisted that the state had strong evi-
dence and was confident OF conviction.
1t was stated that the prosecution did
not have to rely In this case solely upon
the testimony of Bert Franklin and BAN,
both of whom made confessions.

Demand Inquiry Into
Charge Against West
... Virginia Senators


WASHINGTON. Aug. 26.-A demand
for the investigation of the election OF
Senator w. e, Chiffon and C. W. Watson
Of West Virginia was made in a petition
signed by Governor Glasscock and others,
presented today to the senate through
Senator Gallinger, the presiding officer.
The petition called attention to the cleo
ton of the two West Virginia senators.
A request for the reading of the petition
was made by Senator PenEose before Its
contents were, known, When the docu-
ment had been partly read Senators
Bailey and Bacon objected to the print
ing of Its allegations In the public records
of the senate before they had been In
vestigated by the committee on privileges
and elections. .t
The petition contained records Of news
paper charges and alleged conversations,
intimating that charges of bribery had
been made, but never had been investi-
gated.
Senators Bacon and Bailey charged that
while the election took place nearly two
years ago and the charges had been
made about that time. Governor Glass
cock and his associates purposely had
refrained fromS sending the petition to
the United States senate until almost the
last day OF Its session.

FAMOUS GIRL UMPIRE
SAVES MANS LIFE

SIOUX FALLS, s. D., Aug. 26.-(Spe-
cial.)-By rendering first aid to the
drowning. Miss Amanda Clement, the
famous base ball umpire of South Dakota,
who, during the last year has been phys
ical director In the Young Women's
Christian association headquarters at La
Crosse, Wis, saved the life of young
man who apparently had been drowned.
Particulars OF the rescue have been re-
ceved by South Dakota friends OF Miss
Clement InsteadN of returning to South
Dakota this summer and accepting the
numerous invitations to umpire ball
games. Miss Clement has remained at
lacrosse and has devoted the summer
to teaching classes OF young women and
girls to swim. The young man was SWIM
ming near where Miss Clement had her
bevy of girls. Another man named Hood
went to the rescue of the drowning young
man, and when he had brought him to
shore was so exhausted himself that he
could do nothing further to resuscitate
the young man, who was next to death s
door Miss Clement saw the rescue and
went tc the assistance of the young man.
Her knowledge of first aid to the ap-
parently drowned came in very handy,
and after strenuous work she had the
satisfaction of seeing the young man re-
cover consciousness, IT was generally
conceded that he would have died after
being brought to shore had not Miss
Clement been at had to work over him SO
promptly and so scientifically.
