the first witness for the prosecution. Monroe was on the stand when court adjourned until tomorrow.
 District Attorney Fredericks' men ton in his opening address of other al- legged 0ffenges by Darrow caused viz orOus objections by the defense. It was held that the rules of evidence would not permit the introduction of such evidence.
 Without ruling on the admissibility of evidence purporting to give allega- tions outside of those contained in the indictment Judge Hutton allowed the district attorney to continue.
 The indictment alleges that Darrow brdbed George N. Lockwood, who was drawn as a juror in the trial of J. B. McNamara for murder in the dynamit- ing of the Los Angeles Times build ing.
 Franklin Did Actual Bribine.
 Two weeks before the date of the indictment" said Captain Fredericks, Bert H. Franklin, then employed as a detective by Darrow, went to Lock wood ar7 offered him a certain sum If he would vote not guilty provided he were drawn as a juror.
 We will show that Franklin did this at the instance, request and di- rection of defendant"
 The Bribe Offer Repeated.
 Lockwood, according to the prose cutor'S statement, then reported the incident to the district attorneys of fee and was told to continue his nego- tiations with the agents of the Me NamaTa defense. When Lockwoods s name was drawn, Fredericks said Franklin again offered to pay him $500 l down and $5,500 additional after he had voted mot guilty"
 Darrow GaVo Franklin the Money.
 At the next meeting, said Fredericks Lockwood and Franklin were sur rounded in the dark by agents of the prosecution who heard the men agree that the initial payment of the money should be made the next day and de- tectives then observed the transfer oi the money and arrested the men.
 We will show" continued the pros ecutor that this was the same money which Clarence Darrow had giver Franklin that morning It was sent l to Darrow by agents in the east, anG we will trace the money from thai | eastern source to Darrow's hands"

Roosevelt Manager Says Senator
 Won't Preside at Convention.


 Chicago, May 24.-Ormsby McHarg of New York, one of the managers of Colonel Roosevelt's campaign for the republican nomination, who spent sev- eral hours in Chicago today, said to- night that the Roosevelt forces would refuse to abide by the selection of United States Senator Blihu Root of New York as temporary chairman of the national convention.
 McHarg said that the Roosevelt managers would insist on naming q chairman in accord with the Roose- welt policies. The names of Gov. Herbert s. Hadley of Missouri, Gov. Hiram w. Johnson of California, and United States Senator Moses E. Clapp of Minnesota were mentioned by Me- Harg as being acceptable in this con- nection to the Roosevelt forces.
 McHarg said he would have charge of all Roosevelt contests to be taken before the republican national com mittee this year. as he did four years ago for President Taft.
 When the convention meets" said McHarg, "the Roosevelt strength will be such that we will control absolutely. We propose to organize that conven- ton along lines that will not be at all comfortable for Senator Root to preside. That convention must have as chairman a man in accord with Colonel Roosevelt's views and policies, and that means it must be someone other than Senator Root. It is ob- viously impossible to have a chairman delivering a keynote speech who is out of sympathy with Colonel Roosevelt sGd the progressive cause. There is rfo other side to that question

THE GOVERNMENT SOAKED
 FOR PRIVATE TELEGRAMs. S.
Congressman Fitzgerald Accuses Col
 leagues of Petty Grating.

Washington, May 241A charge that members of the house were guilty of petty grating was made on the floor today by Representative Fitzgerald, chairman of the appropriations com mlttee.
 The allegation precipitated a wordy war, in the course of which Mr Fitz- gerald himself was accused of having submitted for payment bills for ma terial f or which there was no pro- vision by law.
 Phe clash marked the consideration of the emergency appropriation bill carrying $2O1,000 for the expenses of the houses.
 The bill makes strict regulations on the subject of telegrams.
 ''Fhe sending of telegrams by mem bers of this house." declared MT. Fitz- gerald, has degenerated into a crying abuse.
 The character of many of these telegrams is uniustifiable, and not by the widest stretch of the imagination could it be construed as official. And yet members send these messages at government expense"
 The telegraph bills of members, MT. Fitzgerald said, cost the government thousands of dollars a year. One tele- gram of private nature, he declared. had cost $60, while the bill of one member for single month was $250.

 Raised in Federal Court.


 New York, May 24.-Questions of in ternational magnitude came to the fore late today when the federal govern ment proceeded with its newest move under the Sherman law to break up the Brazilian coffee trust" alleging that it dictated the price at which the great breakfast table commodity shall be sold in the United States.
 Prominent counsel clashed with the governments attorneys and judges of the circuit court Of appeals took issue with some of the proposals made by the federal prosecutors. The issue mainly resolved itself into the right of the United States government to seize and sell $10,00O,O00 worth of coffee which is the property of a foreign state because of an alleged illegal combine in control of the coffee mar ket.
 The coffee in approximate ly 950,000 bags-stored in Brooklyn warehouses, has been held up under temporary injunction against the New Y ork Dock company, Herman Sielcken and others as alleged parties to the conspiracy to gain control of the market, and today's proceedings were arguments for and against making that injunction permanent United States Circuit Judges Lacombe, Coxe, Moves and Ward reserved decisions af- ter hearing an interesting exposition of both sides
