ENGLISH SUFFRAGETTES
 ARE PLACID ON TRIAL
FOUR MlLlTANTS ACCUSED OF COMMITTING OuTRAGES DuR-
 ING DUBLIN MEETINGS.

Dublin, Ireland, Aug. 6.-Four mili- tant suffragists were put on trial here today, accused of having committed serious outrages when the British prime minister visited here. Gladys Evans was found guilty of setting fire on July IS. to the theater Royal, where MT. Asquith was scheduled to speak The charge against Mabel Capper, accused of being her accom- plice, pleaded guilty to damaging property
 The jury disagreed in the case oi Mary Leigh and she will be tried to morrow on the charge of wounding John K Redmond, leader of the Irish parliamentary party, who was hit by a hatchet thrown at the premier's car. riage. Sentence was reserved in the case of the convicted woman. Tim othy Healy, chief counsel for the women, was booted when he enter ed the court room,
 Miss Evans declared she had gone to the theater to burn it. A cabinet member, c. F. ffobhonse. chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, had told them they would be justified in do- ing so.
 Mir. Healey's cross-examination de- veloped the assertion that MT Hob house, during 3 speech, had said the suffragettes would accomplish noth- ing until they began to burn houses.

DARR0W ATTORNEY
 tor JAIL SENTENCE
JUDGE HUTTON GIVES HIM FIVE DAYS FOR CoNTEMPT-LATER
 IS RELEASED.

Los Angeles, Cal, Aug. 6.-The bribery trial of Clarence s. Darrow came to an abrupt and sensational halt an hour before the usual an journment time today, when Judge Hutton committed Darrow's chief counsel, Earl Rogers, to jail until tomorrow morning at o'clock for contempt of court in lieu of paying a fine of $50 Rogers applied to Pre- siding Judge Willis of the superior court for his release on writ of habeas corpus, which was granted, Rogers being required to give $200 bail
 Rogers offense was in designating state rebuttal witness as a per iurer, and upon his refusal to with draw the appellation a fine of S5g was imposed Rogers declared he would go to jail rather than pay the fine and the court appended an all ternative of five days in jail. Upon slowing by the defense that Darrow could not be deprived of counsel, the sentence was modified
 O. H. F. Mayer, produced by the prosecution as 'tne mysterious stranger" who accompanied Bert H. Franklin to the office of the McNa- mara defense on the morning of Franklin's arrest, was being cross examined by Rogers when the out break occurred.
 Leonard Shober, the watchman in the office, who first told of the mys- terious man, was confronted with Mayer and said that he was not the man. Mayer had testified that he went to Darrow's office with Frank lin on the morning prior to Frank lins arrest and that he was the mysterious stranger"
 Mayer. who is a detective formerly employed by Franklin, was subjected to a severe grilling by Rogers in the course of which District Attorney Fredericks remarked that Rogers was wasting time.
 I'm not" declared Rogers. I'm showing up a perjurer that's all"

REPUBLICAN FILIBUSTER
 BLOCKS DEFICIENCY BILL
MANN FORCES ADJouRNME ENT JUST IN TIME TO PREVENT
 PASSAGE BY THE HOUSE.

Washington, Aug. 6.-As the result of a filibuster skillfully engineered by Minority Leader Mann the house today was forced to adjourn without passing the general deficiency appro- priation bill, which was on it's way to final passage. The flibuster was in the water power amendment. At times the remarks were acriminious in the extreme.
 MT. Mann charged that the special rule fastened the regulars so that 3 roll call could not be obtained.
 A series of sharp exchanges be- tween Mir Mann and Representatives Mondell of Wyoming and Kahn ol California, on the republican side, and Representatives Fitzgerald and Shire ly of Kansas and Page of North Car olina, democrats, resulted finally in Mir. Fitzgeralds announcing his in- tention to shut off all debate
 "The gentleman from New York may knock me down and drag mo out" shouted Mr. Mann, but he won't do it with any yielding con sent"
 Raising the point of no quorum, the minority leader followed that roll cal with a series of parliamentary tao ties A few at time, the democrats dwindled away to prepare for the caucus at o'clock. Watching hi. opportunity, MT. Mann again raised the point of no quorum just as tho amended bill was about to be put t vote This forced adjournment.

WAS ONLY POLITICAL MEETING
Large Sums Available" for Bribery But Nothing Develops as to Who From and Who Made the
 Proposal to Sheriff.
HALE's EXPOSE.

That corruption funds have been in existence and bribery freely praeticed has long been the belief of many of our citi' zens. and the statement of the sheriff that such conditions were rampant brought no great surprise to anyone who has re- sided here for several years and taken notice of events, how ever, at this time, it seems to have created quite a stir for req sons known and unknown. At the request of Sheriff Hale, We the undersigned citizens jointly made investigation by bringing before Us men of unquestloned veracity and integrity who are in possession Of the facts, and took their testimony and state. ments relative to the proposals anu attempts made to bribe the officers Of the law. We find that such state of affairs pre- vails to an alarming extent and that not only S50.000 would be available, but even much more during the year.

marshal soon ordered the doors closed tight.
 There were thrills, too. when Col onel Roosevelt was interrupted sey- eral times with questions. The same spectators in the galleries who yes terday fired the querry at former Senator Beveridge demanded to know of the colonel, what about the liquor traffic?" The query came at the close of the lengthy explanation ot the speakers attitude on the negro question and Mir Roosevelt received t with distinct impatience.
 As the delegates were yelling "shut up" and put him out" Colonel Roosevelt waved his hand toward the man and said: "Oh, go to a pri- mary school or something"
 Then he added, Let me get along with my speech
 There were cheers and cries of you're all right"
 And pleace,' added the colonel, "let this now be as much of a mono logue as possible
 When the Colonel had concluded the convention proceeded at once to adopt the report of the committee on credentials and also a rule requiring that all resolutions submitted from the floor be sent to the resolutions committee without debate.

 There was large audience present, signifying the general interest that had Deen aroused when Sheriff Hale stated that he had been offered $50.- 900 as a bribery sum for special privileges under his administration. Following the statement by the sher- if there had been demand for the details, for the names of those who would give such a sum, and the names of the persons who were to give tine money toAthe officer and this become means to a corrupt end.
  would tell it all, at least he was quot ed to this effect, but at the outset last night, after thanking the press of the city for the attention 1t had given his called meeting, stated the press had exaggerated his statements, and that he had never said he would re- veal the names of those who gave the information unless it was necessary for him to do SC.
 His debut in public life has made something of q speaker of the sheriff, fer with the cunning of U trained pub- licist last night he reviewed the po- litical records of his opponents to their discredit, expeandad his own fitness for the shrievalty, holding his audience spellbound through these pe- riods in the anticipation that in the end they would receive the sensations al denoument when Who got the

Sheriff Hale read the expurged state : ment which appears at the head of this article, and which tells nothing unless it be that the sheriff has not l 1 received had his palm itched for the salve of silvered satisfaction
 1 One thing the sheriff did succeed | in doing with some degree of politi- cal sagacitH and that was to attack l R. L. Williams. the democratic nomi-
 nee, and Tom Bledsoe, the republican nominee, each with quite a degree of
 effectiveness. The long public service
 of R. l.. Williams made his record vulnerable, and Hale left nothing nn-
 said. reaching to the unexpected de- gree of traducing the former sheriff as a defaulter, for some old alleged claim due the county.
 The crowd was rather a mixed ar Iticle. There were many staunch sup porters of Sheriff Hale there, there were a few ladies, there were some identified republicans. and there were
 some who were undisputed friends of lR. l.. Williams, and who evidently
 were there in the hope that their champion would speak that they
 might applaud.
 But R. L. Williams was not there.
 If any of the opponents of Hale. other
 than D. l.. Weaver, were there, they Il CONTINUED ON PAGE SIX.
