Tho members Of the Jibboom CLUB
made long and earnest petition to the
court Of common council to take de-
el6ive steps that would result in the
dredging Of ShaWs cove so that more
yachts Of deep draft could winter
therein. Several Of the larger steam
Yachts have reluctantly been taken
10 other winter quarters owing to the
lack Of sufficient depth Of water in
parts Of the cove. The absence of
these yachts Is a serious loss to the
business Of the city and the old salts
Of the JibbOom club realize this fact
and have full knowledge Of the ca
pacity Of the cove II properly dredged
The government over year ago made
appropriation for dredging the cove
but the appropriation was inadeauate
10 complete the specified work and
therefore the appropriation is held up.
Three-fourtbs Of the work as planned
could be done within the appFopria e.
Ton and the tibboomers ask that so
much Of the work be done and await
appropriation to complete the work.
The petition caused much fayora BILE

CONTEMPT OF COURT
 IN DARROW TRIAL
CLASHES OF ATTORNEYS RESULT IN FINES FOR FRACTURE OF
 LEGAL ETIQUETTE.

Los Angeles, June 5.--Clashes be- tween ~cueiIselg which resulted m fines for contempt of court and indica tions of federal cooperation with the state in the case oyershadowed the scant testimony heard today in the trial of Clarence $. Darrow for ai- legged jury bribing.
 The name of Olaf A. Tveitmoe the San Francisco labor leader, was also brought into the case as an endorser of a $10,000 check sent by Frank Morrison, of the American Federation of Labor to Darrow.
 The check, eashed in San Francis co, was said by the prosecution to be one of the most important links in its case against Darrow, as it tended to prove that the currency received from this check was used as fund for the corruption of the McNamara jur ors.
 The apparent interest of the federal government in the case was indicated by the introduction of evidence said to have been turned over to the dis trict attorney by the department of justice. This included the book of cancelled checks originally drawn upon the McNamara defense fund by Frank Morrison ill favor of Clarence DarTOW.
 Apparent cooperation was shown further when H. H. Flather a. cash fer of Washington. D c hank which had on deposit the McNamara defense fund, testified on cross exam ination that he was first asked about testifying at the trial by an official of the department of justice in Wash ington.
 Mr Flather was served with a sub poenae by the defense. Opposing counsel could not agree upon a stip- ulation which would permit Mir Fathers return to Washington
 A considerable portion of the days session was devoted by the prosecu- tion in reading into the record all of the checks sent to Darrow by Morri- son. The aggregate amount of the check was S2l0,000.
 Darrow denied today that he had ever mentioned the name of Samuel Gompers to Bert Franklin in connec- tion with an alleged jury bribery.
 'Like most of Franklin's statements on the stand, it was lie said Oar row. T never received any money from MT Gompers except through the usual business channels

He acquired large in- terests at Reno, Goldfeld and else where and began his political career
 
 He was attacked by magazine writers
 on account of the methods by which they claimed he acquired his fortune, for he was rated as several times a millionaire, with a personal following unequalled by any other man in his state
 In the United States senate Mr. i Nixon was a quiet figure, rarely hav- ing anything to say in the floor pro- ceedings. though always ready to give his advice in the primate eoun cjls of the Republican senators, among whom he ranked high. He was chair
 man of the committee on reclamation

 Despite the running fire of attack aimed at his control of large inter ests, Mir. Nixon was recently unan- imously reelected by a Democratic legislature on ratification of his choice

 He was the successor of William
 Stewart. whose wobbling fortunes and
 strenuous financial dogma made him
 a picturesque figure in the national | capital a generation ago.

 that Deneen's election would be in the interest of the Republican party
 I never made any pretense that l fa-
 yored him. because l loved him, as the senator from Indiana has stated.
