MEXICO ACCUSES
A i. s. SENATOR
Government Organ Imputes In.
terested Motives to Fall.
SAYS RE ASSISTS REBELS
"Nueva Era" Adds That He or a Cioss
Relative Owns q Million Acres
In Chlhuahua-Warsh
for Mexico.

Mexico C!ty.-The extent to which
the sensational utterances OF Senator
Fall, of New Mexico, on the Mexican
situation have increased the ill-feeling
among Mexicans toward Americans
and the United States government is
indicated by the publication in the
''Nueva Era" which is recognized as
a government organ, of what purports
to be the real animus of Senator Falls
attempt to arouse the sympathy of
the United States for Orozco and
force American intervention in MeXi-
CO.
The "Nueva Era accuses Senator
Fall unequivocally of comforting sew
eral times with Orozco in Ciudad
Juarez and promising his personal and
political support against the Mexican
government. 1t charges that Senator
Falls attitude is dictated by motives
arising from the fact that disturb
ances in northern Mexico impair the
value of property owned by members
of his family.
Senator Fall Is married" said the
"Nueva Era" ito Clarice Greene
Chase, a niece of the late Colonel
Greene, owner OF the copper mines at
Cananea, Chihuahua, and upon
Greenes death Senator Fall or his
dauhter acquired vast expanse of
land at Temosachic, Chihuahua. This
is the reason why Senator Fall has pre-
cipitated himself into the politics OF
this country"

CLARENCE S. DARR0W
FOUND NOT GUILTY
Lawyer Acquitted Of Charge Of srib-
ing Juror in McNamara Case
May Be Tried Again.

Los Angeles, Cal.-Most spectacu-
larly, Clarence S. Darrow was found
not guilty of the charge of bribing a
Bryce Mcnamara, in whose defence
he appeared as chief counsel. The
jury in Darrow's case was out only
thirty-four minutes.
In his defense Darrow had charged
that the prosecution was an attempt
by the Steel Trust, through the Erec-
tors Association, to throttle union lab
or. He declared the re- suit was sig
nal victory for the cause he says he
representative cause Of the union
workmen oppressed by organized capi-
tai
The prosecutor still holds in reserve
an indictment against Darrow charg-
ing bribery OF another juror, Robert
F. Balm.
Certainly we shall try the Balm
case" said District-Attorney Freder
icks after the Darrow verdict was rem
dered 1T is a much stronger case
than this was, and with different cir
cumstances we have reason to believe
we will secure a conviction"
The scene Immediately following
the reading of the verdict by Foreman
NJ. r. Williams was most remarkable.
Men and women were hysterical and
several jurymen shouted The judge
sank back in his chair, making no at
tempt for several minutes to maintain
order.
AS the last syllable absolving the
defendant of guilt passed the lips of
Foreman Williams, Darrow jumped to
his feet and embraced his wife For
several minutes they stood there,
while scores of friends and sympathiz-
ers crowded about them, showering
congratulations.
AS soon as possible Darrow rushed
over to the jurors box. Jurors Dun
bar, Golding and Dingman embraced
him and with tears streaming down
his cheeks the defendant told them
how glad he was of their decision and
the warm place he would ever hold in
his heart for them.
While Darrow stood there smiling
anna MS tears, spectators. the major
ity of whom were women, fought their
way past the bailiffs to the jury box.
Some of the women were weeping, 9TH
ers smiling as they poured forth con-
gratulations.
Immediately after Judge Hutton dis
charged the jury all semblance of or
der seemed to be lost. One coterie of
men and women rushed at Chief Coun-
sci Earl Rogers of the defense, as he
stood at the head of the counsel table
with his wife. Some confined their
actions to pretty speeches but others
slapped Rogers on the shoulders until
he was forced to stand against the
wall. The others of Darrow's attor-
neys, Appel, Geisfer and Dehm all
came in for their share of the mani
festation.
