CHIEF EVENT OF THE DAY
Passing Of the MIX Train, Not Charge
of Bull, Caused Young Farm

In rural New England the passing
of a railway train is still a matter
of public. interest quite astonishing to
visitors from the city. Last summer
three ladies from Boston hired an
abandoned farmhouse in northern
New England, in region devoted to
dairying. One warm August day they
walked through the rocky pastures
to a farmhouse three miles distant,
in quest of two weeks supply OF
butter.
ion learning that they had come
through the ilelds. the farmers wife
exclaimed: ''Why, you can't DO back
that way alone!. Our bulls out there
in the back lot, and only day fore
yist'day he freed my son-in-law on q
stun for two hours. I'll have him go
home with you"
With some misgivings on the part
Of the women, the little procession
started back undert-the guidance Of
the young man. the ladies carrying
the butter. All went well till they
had gone about a quarter Of a mile,
when the escort suddenly called, ex-
citedly: "Come on!" and started on
a run toward higher ground.
Thinking that they understood the
occasion Of his activity, they needed
no urging to follow him. On and on
they sped, throwing away their but
ter as an impediment to their speed
bathed in Precipitation and
gasping for breath, they sank ex-
hausted on a rocky ledge whittier
their guide had led them.
Standing just above, he waved his
arm in a dramatic gesture toward the
valley below, where a freight train
could be seen crawling slowly out
rom between a cleft in the hills, and
shouted: There she gOes-the milk

leaving out mill products. Testimony
was introduced by Judge A. E. Helm
representing the Wichita Board OF
Trade, to show that the rates were
being asked for grain products as
well as for grain.
After the testimony Mr.. Hurd an

triet Attorney.

Los Angeles, Cal. May 25--Negotia'
lions for JDarrow to enter n plea OF
guilty and escape a penitentiary sen.
tence on the charge Of hribing Juror
in the Mcnamara trial have been un'
der way for some time The trial OF
the famous labor lawyer is likely on
any day to be terminated as abruptly
and sensationally as was that of his
clients, J. J. and ]. B. Mcnamara,
dynamiters of the Los Angeles Times
plant. who pleaded guilty and are now
in prison.
Momentous consequences hang on
Darrow's decision whether to continue
the legal battle or surrender. The
state Is willing to grant barrow i'm.
munity from prison sentence, but on
Iy on condition that he divulge every.
thing he knows of the acts of himself
and his clients.
Something Startling Expected.
II became known to a limited num-
Der of persons only a short time ago
that barrow was engaged in the prepa-
ration Of bis confessional document
that will, If ever given to the public,
roll anew all the sediment of contro-
versy that has been slowly settling
from the shock Of the McNamaras'
pleas of guilty. For Darrow's plea
would he a moral plea in abatement,
a defense, a conformation of the tactics
which the state is prepared to prove
were used by barrow in his vain ef'
forts to clear the men who resorted to
violence and murder in behalf of la.
Dor.
Broke Each appointment.
1t has been persistently rumored for
several weeks that appointments hSve
been made for barrow to tell his
story to District Attorney Fredericks,
and that the confession might be in
the prosecutors hands any day. Each
appointment, it is understood, has
been broken, because Darrow would
not accede to the states terms.
In explanation of this dickering 1t
might be recalled that the surrender
of the McNarharas proved disap-
pointment to the prosecution. The Nc
Namaras were let off with light SEN
fences with the understanding that the
prisoners would assist the state In re-
turn for this leniency. To the chagrin
of the authorities the McNamaras shut
up like clans the moment their lives
were shielded by the courts decree.

 The scheme, it is asserted, was to procure a retainer's fee from mercan- tile firms and professional men, with the promise in contract that old debts would be collected, After paying the advance fee, it is charged, nothing was ever heard again of the agree ment to collect debt, no service be- ing returned for the payments.
