would act as a clearing house for in
formation as to the movement of
criminals, have been evolved by Chief
of Police d. A. White, who has just
returned from a visit to the police
department of the big cities of the

of Washington, New York and Chi

Municipal boundary lines mean lit

White. Migratory criminals form the
largest proportion of those making

way to keep the big criminals under

WHOLESALE BRIBERY,
VIII BE Charged by Prosecution in the
Darro17 Case.

Los Angeles, May 23.-Wholesale at
temptS to bride jurors in the McNamara
case will be alleged by the prosecution
against Clarence S. barrow, fromeI
chief counsel for the McNamara broth
ers in his present trial on an indict-
ment charging him with the bribery
of George N. Lockwood. District At
torney Frederick said at the beginning
of the trial proper today that the state
would endeavor to show that Lockwood
and Juror Robert F. Balm were not the
only Mcnamara jurors sought to be
corrupted.
This is the phase of the case which
has caused the difference of opinion as
to the length of the trial." said Fred
ericks. THE defense is satisfied tina
we will be unable to introduce evidence
of other bribery cases. Therefore 1t
believes that the trial will not last
more than three weeks. We are Ger
tain that we will be allowed to intro
duce this evidence, SO we have est1ma-
ted the length of the trial at two
months.
A repetition of yesterdays difficulty
in selecting the alternate juror was
not expected when the trial was re-
sumed this morning. 1t was believed
by both sides that the thirteenth 5uro
would be speedily obtained. The plans
of the prosecution for the conduct of
the opening stages of the actual trial
included an opening statement to the
i1rv by Fredericks and the introduce
ton of evidence to show that George
n. Lockwood, the Mcnamara jur.
talesnan was a regularly drawn ven
ireman. as well as the fact that Clar-
ence barrow was at that time chief
counsel for J. B. Mcnamara then on
trial.

wells court in which the Mcnamara
trial was held will be the first witness

ing the first regular meeting OF the
Republican voters of the entire district
to be held at a certain house at 8
o'clock that night requesting all those
interested to attend. The notice was

footsteps. The door opened. A TALL

in rough blue flannel shirt, with a.
deep saber cut across his face and a
lantern in his hand, stood in the open
doorway"
The narrative tells how Reuf was
scrutinized and finally admitted to a
rear kitchen, where the boarding

loonkeeper sat by the range.

Professionalism In France.

According to an article in the Revue
the number of Professionals in France
is decreasing. They now number 700,-
600. The Lutherans, who numbered
more than a quarter of million in
1870, can now boast of membership
of only $4,000 in France. The Calvin
lists are the most numerous sect left,
numbering over half a million. But
they are losing ground. At the same
time the political influence of the
French Protestants is out of all pro-
portion to their numbers. This the
writer attributes to their superior
system of education, and above all to
their great wealth. Their wealth has.
however, tended to sap their exclusive
ness. They now pay less attention to
their religion, and the result is, says
the writer in the Revue, that Protes-

rather bold conclusion, and it would
