barrow Defense
Springs Surprise

Los ANGELES, June 21.-Whether
John r. Harrington, a Chicago law
yer, occupied a position in the en-
ployment of Clarence S. Darrow
which would preclude him from giving
testimony against his former chief,
now on trial for alleged jury bribery,
was expected to be decided by Judge
Hutton during the barrow trial to-
day.
Judge Hutton stated that were the
Mcnamara case on trial the position
of the defense would have been in
Venerable, but as barrow was on
trial there was doubt in his mind.
The prosecution maintained that
Harrington was not engaged as law
yer, secretary or clerk, but as an
investigator" for the Mcnamara de-
Tense, hence did not come within the
provisions of the statute.
The point raised by the defense was
one of the sharpest blows yet aimed
at the prosecution.

just as likely to be wrong in the way
he votes as are the other members of
this committee"
At $40 this morning the committee
was still in session considering con
tests.
Chairman Devine said there seemed
to be no prospect of presenting a re-
port To the convention. which was to
meet at IL o'clock.
Chairman Devine said that If the
Roosevelt members would confine
their attack to those districts in
cluded in the list ON which they have
based their principal charges of
fraud, including the Washington and
Texas cases. the committee would be
able to conclude by tonight. The
widest latitude would be allowed the
Roosevelt members. said the chair
man, and the duration of the session
depended entirely upon their atti-
tude.
The eleventh Kentucky district,
which was next called, presented a
mixed situation. The national COM
mittee had divided the delegation,
seating d. c. Edwards. a Taft dele
gate, and o. H. Waddle, a Roosevelt
adherent. Representatives of each
faction, appearing before the creden-
tions committee, sought to win back
the seat given to the other.
BY a vote of &c to 10 the commit
tee confirmed the action of the ma
tional committee in the eleventh Ken
lucky district contest. The vote was
on a sub motion by Committeeman
Mondell. of Wyoming, to seat both
Roosevelt delegates.
Louisiana contests were then taken
up and by agreement only the Fourth
and Fifth districts were considered.
Argument was limited by unanimous
consent to ten minutes to a side In
each case
In the Fourth district the national
committee was sustained by a viva
voce vote without noes" but in the
Fifth district last a roll-call was de-
manded. 1t resulteden the placing of
the Taft delegates ON the permanent
roll, 81 to IA.

made his temperance in the COM
mittee room in time to vote with the
Roosevelt faction against sustaining
the national committee.
The credentials committee voted
at 1920 o'clock to submit to the con-
vention its report on the Alabama
contests. Roosevelt members, led by
Heney and Halbert, made a vigorous
attempt to delay this action. The
vote. on the adoption of the Summers
motion was 80 to 10.

similar instances.
The arguments in the case, made
by Joseph G. Wolber. counsel for
Mr.. Mungle, and the attorney for the
railway company, were heard Feb
ruary II, 1911. A reargument was
asked for In order to bring the CON-
plant under n law passed by the
Legislature in 1911 and this was heard
in June, 1911. The following August
tho Public Utilities Commission or
dered that the Public Service Com
pany issue transfers in Newark in
compliance with a particular ordi-
nance passed by the Board or Street
and Water Commissioners in August,
1904. which required that any person,
after paying a scent fare, was en-
titled to a continuous ride on con-
Meeting lines and that, If necessary TO
reach his destination, the company
would have to issue a transfer on a
transfer.
The company claimed that there
was doubt as to what the commission
meant and merely changed it's sys-
tenn TO give transfers at certain con-
Meeting points. On SeptembeT IS the
company made application for and
was allowed a writ of eertiorari to
have the action of the commission re-
viewed by the Supreme Court on the
ground that it was not lawful.
While the ease was in the Supreme
Court Attorney Wolber. for Mr.. Mum
gle, filed a complaint that the COM
pany was not complying with the or
der. The question was argued before
the Utilities Board September rs,
1911, but no action was taken.
The Supreme Court case came up
for argument on November s, 1911.
The Utilities Commission was repre-
scented by Frank Fl. Sommer. Briefs
were submitted. On December 26
the Supreme Court handed down lis
decision d~issolving the c%ertiorari and
sustaining the order of the commits
sion.

TRANSFERS
CONTINUED from First Paec.)

preme Court the contention of the
Public Service that unless limitations
were imposed upon the issue of trans
| fers there would be increased oppor-
tunity for dishonest patrons to OBJ
tain a return journey for a single fare
was fatty turned down.
Turn Down %Company's Contention.
The decision says: Because some
dishonest passengers may be enabled
by unlimited transfers more easily to
steal a ride is no reason why the vast
majority of honest patrons should be
deprived of rights legally their own"
Appropriate limitation of the dura-
ton of transfers, different-colored
transfer slips and other devices, such
as the detection and prosecution of
such offenders, are given as the prop
err remedies for the Illegal attempts to
use transfers.
ut seems to be a question of inter-
probation of the language of the Pub
lie Utilities Commission" said Joseph
C. Wolber, who acted as counsel i'll
the case of William Mungle against
the railway company.
whether it's decision means a
tranfer on a transfer or not seems to
be in doubt. In order to obtain an
opinion on this question a complaint
was brought before the Utilities
Board, but they reserved decision on
the matter until after the case pend
ing in the courts had been settled.
If the doubt regarding the retrans-
fers has not been clarified by the de-
cision of the Court of Errors and APP
peals, | will my case before the
commission and get from 1t "a con-
struction upon its order to the railway
company in this matter of retrans-
fers.
THE people are entitled to know
what was intended by the commission
and they want to know what they are
entitled to by way of transfers. I'VE
are therefore going to keep up the
fight until the. matter Is settled and
the public is shown just where it gets
on and off" said Mr.. Wolber.
Gives Different Interpretation.
John l.. O'Toole, publicity man for
the Public Service Company, gives
his Interpretation of the order If the
board as directing his company to
issue transfers to lines connecting
with lines ON which the fare is paid.
Although admitting his inability to
exactly determine the intent of the
order, he says that "a person who has
paid his fare of five cents is entitled
to a continuous ride ON any line in
terseeting with or connecting with
the line on which the transfer was
given" But he claims that If that
passenger rode on a second transfer
he would not be riding on a line that
was "intersecting OF. connecting with
the line on which he paid his fare.
In explanation of the use of the
word "retransfer," Mr.. O'Toole states
that transfers are given on transfers
when the passenger has reached the
destination of the car and wishes to
continue on another car in the same
direction.

this particular convention is con-
cerned.

mated yesterday, the third day, and
the only business remaining for the
convention today would be the selec-
ton of a vice. presidential candidate

Now, as the program runs. the re-
port of the credentials committee may
require a vote by individual dele
gates; the report of the committee
on rules may provoke extended de-
bate and the subject of a platform
may take half a day for discussion
on the floor.
Eager for Early Close.
II the convention actually gets down

1t will be late tomorrow, unless there
Is a decision to adjourn the sessions
OF the convention to next week.
1919 III tOody was oiiCCtSA
toward closing up the convention to-
morrow afternoon or night. Officials
of the national committee Joined with
leaders on both sides of the fight to
achieve this end. However, it was
stated that this could not be expected,
unless a certain faction gave it's con-
sent to the advancement of the gen.
eral business of the convention.
The managers of President Taft's
campaign for denomination today as
serted that the President already is
assured of a majority of sixteen or
eighteen votes when the roll call on

William Barnes, jr., of New York, de-
elared that lie knew positively that the
President would have at least ten
votes more than the necessary num-
Der to nominate, and that he expected
this majority would be increased by
six or more other votes.
There was much conjecture and gos-
sip this morning as to the exact num-
Der of delegates Colonel Roosevelt
could depend on to stay with him
through any sort of move that the
former president might decide upon.
Outside of California, Pennsylvania
and possibly Kansas, 1t was predicted
that Colonel Roosevelt would get COM

gates on any proposition hat might
compromise the regularity" of the
men who followed him.
VIII Not Burn Bridges.
For, in the last analysis. the Roose-
welt followers plainly demonstrated
that they were willing to dc almost
anything for Colonel Roosevelt, ex.
cept, as it is known in racing par
lance, go the route" When it came
right down to the point of burning
all their bridges behind them and
taking their chances on a dead open
and shut game of win or lose, there
was a scurrying to get from under
and the colonel was left holding the
bag.
Governor Herbert S. Hadley. of Mis-
souri,; Governor Charles S. Deneen, of
Illinois, and Senator Borah, of Idaho,
served notice thai they would not
join in a third party movement or in
a bolt from the regular convention.
Other leaders of nearly equal promi-
hence did likewise.
President Taft's stock went up the
scale at an amazing rate once it be-
came known that the u%nanimity of
the Roosevelt plans had been broken.
Work to Disrupt T. r.. Forces.
Meanwhile the veteran leaders in
command of the Taft campaign used
their political genius adroitly for the
purpose of disintesrating the Roose-
Welt support. They were reported to
have encouraged dark horse compro-
mise talk at every opportunity and
in other ways to have turned the fire
from their candidate until the pre-
liminary steps In the organization of
the convention had been concluded.
Congressman William B. Mckinley,
of Illinois, President Taft's campaign
manager. however. insisted that at no
time had he considered a third candi-
date. He declared that all talk of a
compromise candidate had come from
the Roosevelt men, and that none of 1t
had been given his sanction, either di-
rectly or indirectly.
Taking up a review OF. the situation
as it appeared to him before today's
session of the convention was called
to order, Mr.. Mckinley declared that
the Roosevelt forces were demoralized
and disorganized to an extent which
would preclude any further united ac-
ton In or. out of the convention.
The Taft leaders went into confer
nee early today for the purpose of
advancing plans for both day and
night sessions of the convention with
a view to winding up the convention
certainly by. Saturday night.
There Is absolutely no reason"
said one of these leaders, why these
delegates should be forced to remain
in Chicago owe Sunday. Many of
them who come from a long distance
have important business matters to
attend to ext week that demand
their presence at home. Already they
have given a solid week of their
time to the convention. counting from
the day they left their homes. and 1
see no valid reason for longer delay

.vention. l believe the Roosevelt 'cy-

the votes of the alleged fraudulent dele
gates, 1t was announced that the Roose-
welt forces would call a convention in
Chicago for the frst week in August, TO
which all progressives will be invited and
at which 1t is expected that Colonel
Roosevelt will be nominated for the
presidency.
According to one of the progressive
newspapers Woodrow Wilson would
be selected as Colonel Roosevelt's
running mate,
With the approach of the time for
nominations United States Senator
Kenyon and Congressman Protty, of
Iowa, were particularly active in be-
half of the candidacy of Senator
Cummins. Both said they expected
important developments today that
might decide the chances of the Iowa
senator's success.
There were strong indications in the
Taft camp, also, that the leaders had
gotten together on their progress and
that the sessions of the convention
today might bring forth a clean-cut
outline of what finally these leaders
intended to do. Final plans were dis
cussed at several breakfast councils,
during which communications We're
received from nearly all State leaders
as to late developments las night.
II have communicated with Stew
art Spalding, secretary of the Coli
scum Company said Chairman
Harry S. New, of the committee on
arrangements, land have notified him
that In conformity with the terms of
the lease the committee wishes to
reserve the Coliseum in its present
condition with all the convention ar
rangements for next week"
Mr.. New would make no comment
on how long he thought the Coliseum
would be needed. but he declared no
chances would be taken.

clone has blown itself out and passed
on"
However. as the hour for formal
resumption of the convention sessions
drew near there was increased discus
sion of just what action would be
taken by the Roosevelt forces during
the day. Repeated efforts were made
to get from Colonel Roosevelt the de-
tails of his further plans, bat without
immediate avail.
Many were inclined to think that
the plan of passive resistance"
mapped out by the Roosevelt mana
gers would be discarded before 1t had
been placed In fair working order.
Talk of August Convention.
According TO this plan, the Roose-
Welt delegates were not to vote on
motion connected with the work and
organization of the convention, but
were to place Colonel Roosevelt's
name in nomination.

hours, the jury in charge of the case

charged with receiving stolen prop

1t was alleged by the prosecution
that Fusco had taught Raffaele Da-

boy was the only witness against
him. 1t is declared that the jury
stood nine to three for acquittal. The
prisoner was paroled in the custody
