Los ANGELES. CAL. August 10.
The fight of Clarence Darrow
against second trial on a charge OF
bribery growing out of the McNam-
ara case was begun this afternoon
when the Balm case came up before
Judge Hutton to be set for trial. A
determined content ton that the Balm
in dietment should be quashed was
Rogers and Appel, and the court took
the legal aspect OF the case under
consideration. postponing the setting
OF the case Till o'clock tomorrow
afternoon.
In the possible event that the in
aietment lis set aside. barrow may
be tried on new indictment. Dis
trict Attorney Fredericks. more de-
termined than ever 10 prosecute Oar
row on the Balm charge, following
the court session this afternoon, as,
serted that he did not deem the
grounds for the setting aside of the
Balm indictment sufficient, but II 1t
should be he would very likely
bring another indictment against

Il am positive that the secon d
case will be set for trial. said Fred
ericks. There are no sufficient le-
gal grounds for it being set aside.
But II, perchance. for some reason,
the indictment is dismissed, ii is verv
likely that We viii bring another in
dictment against barrow.
The arguments presented by Oar
rows attorneys against the setting
of the case and In favor of having
the indictment set aside. were three
in number. They eontended that all
the evidence in the Balm case was
submittd by the district attorney IN

They declared the rule that the

TRAMP TIE OWNER OF BONDS.
Securities to the Valve of $500 Are
Found After His
N~r$

SPARTA, Mich. Judy 15.-To play
the tramp with more than $1,5D0 In
vested in United States government
bonds is not q usual thing, but James
A. Gross OF Sparta did it. He slept
in cheap lodging houses and at rescue
Missions.
While pursuing this existence he
had ssursd away in a sarety deposit
vault 81. 5GW in United States bonds,
and there is substantial belief that in
that vault there is even more than
that. Six years ago James A.. Cross
OF Sparta, Mich, sold considerable OF
his property. With the proceeds in
his pocket he departed mysteriously
and never was heard from again by
his family. Last month word came
from a little city in Maryland that
Cross had died and his identity was
established by correspondence in his
pocket.

The danger OF heat in our large cit
les increases almost in numerica! "a.
ito with the prolongation OF a hot
spell. There Is sometimes the feel
ing that we must grow used to the
heat with its continuance, but as a
matter of fact resistiye vitality is
lowered on each successive day OF in
tense heat, and tnere is much more
danger than before. Ia hot countries
they have learned the lesson OF d.
diminishing work to a great extent dur
ing the hottest hours OF the day. We
cannot do that because OF CONNER
cial customs, but personal effort must
be directed to ~lessening the burden
of business care in the middle Of the
day as heat spells are prolonged. The
important lesson is avoiding excessive
eating and drinking and obtaining
sufficient sleep. Most of those who
are overcome by the heat have not
slept for one or more nights. Tne
tropical custom of a sieSta in the mid.
die Of the day saves heat strokes.

are the lessons th9t must be learned

ONE AMENDMENT ON BALLOT.
South Dakota Would Tax Franchise
and Cross Earnings.

PIERRE, S. d. July lb.-But one
constitutional amendment will be
submitted at the next general cleo
ton in this state, it being to allow
the taxation Of franchises, licenses,
gross earnings and incomes. The on
ly practical change in the cOnstitu-
ton proposed is to allow the taxation
Of property which is now exempt I'M
der the constitution as it stands, and
which cannot be reached without an
amendment.
The socialists have attempted to
file a list of electors to be placed up
on the ballot for the November cleo
ton, but the state secretary will de-
cline to receive them, as the cegtlf-
cate shows they were selected at a
convention held at Sioux Falls on
June 8, when the primary law pro
yides that all political parties Shall
meet in state convention on the first
Tuesday in July following the pri-
mary, and that IN 1912 and quadren-
nially thereafter they shall at such
conventions select their electors and
file the names with the secretary, No
attempt was made to hold a conyen-
ton on the legal date.
Apparently the prohibitionists are
not much better off, for so far as
known they did not hold a state con
yention on the legal date,

CHAUTAUQUA IS
IDEAL PLACE
Grounds a NaDdal A:e FILLED
With Campers for Weeks
Outing

Bismarck residents who desire TO
spend a few days enjoying an outing
can do no better than to 60 over to
the Mandan Chautauqua grounds.
Fifty acres Of beautifully laid out
grounds, nesting in the bend OF the
Heart river about a quarter of a mile
west OF the fair grounds comprise the
magnificent site. The grounds have
been cleared of all u~nderbrush and
tall grass and are leyeled Oh in nice
shape. Large trees with spreading
boughs offer shelter from the sun and
an ideal place to pitch a tent and en-
protection from the elements. 1t is
JOY a few days fun c1nplng.
There are about forty tents pitched
on the grounds now, and many fam
lilies are enjoying the free camping
privileges offered. In case too many
tents are pitched on the present site
the grounds may be extended north
along the Heart river among the
trees.
Large crowds have attended each
of the Chautauqua meetings, and an
excellent program has been arranged.
Last week there were several speak
ers of note, and this weeks program
offers still better lectures and enter
tainments. There will be a special
train leaving Bismarck at 7:30 p. m.
Bismarck time, and returning will
leave Mandan at 1850 p. m. The
train will arrive and depart at Man
dan from the spur beside the Chau-
tauqua grounds and will save Bis
marek visitors the long walk to and
from the Northern Pacific depot.
