Verdict in Sequel to Famous
Mcnamara Case Returned in
Thirty-one Minutes.

Los ANGELES, Aug. l7-Clarence
S. Darrow was today acquitted of a
charge of jury bribing.,
After a trial that has lasted since
early in May, the famous advocate of
the cause OF union labor was freed by
the jury from charges growing out of
the sensational ending of the trial of
James 3. Mcnamara, confessed slayer
of 2t persons.
In a court room packed to suffoca-
ton while hundreds more tried to
crowd in, the final scene of the great
drama was staged today. Judge George
H Hutton was the principal actor.
Judge Hutton, in his crisp, legal man
ner. swept away the first count against
Darrow-that of bribing Juror Robert
n Balm.
Then the judge, in the precise phrase
oIogy of the law, attacked the mass of
testimony that had been piled up for
the state. Franklin's story he said,
could not be credited, even though it
were believed. unless other testimony

WORKERS WARNED
AGAINST SOCIALISM
BY BISHOP CARROLL

CHICAGO, July PA warning
against socialism addressed to Chicago
working men and members of labor
unions, has been uttered by Bishop
John P. Carroll of Helena. Mont, who
has been in Chicago attending the
meeting of the Ancient Order of Hi
bernians Bishop Carroll asserted that
socialism is economically unsound that
its pretenses are false and that it is
a real enemy Of labor.
Bishop Carroll commended the An
cient Order of Hibernians for its stand
against socialism, and said that all
Catholic societies should join the cru
SADIE
"The church" he said, would warn
the laboring man of the false pretense
Of socialism She would again restate
the old doctrine of the dependence Of
men upon one another.
Socialism is unpatriotic. 1t aims to
destroy all constituted civic author
ity."

Modern Fashions for
Women Blamed by
Judge as Crime Cause
Clothing Designed to Display
Feminine Charms Open Invi-
tation for Insult, He Says.

MILWAUKEE,, WIS. July 22.-
Womens clothing designed to display
feminine charm are the cause of crime
and are an open invitation for insult,
according to Judge Backus. of the Mil
waukee municipal court The comment
was called forth by the statement that
the murderer of Julia Corners in New
York was driven insane by beautifully
made-up women.
These dresses" said Judge Backus,
are an invitation to men to accost
the wearers. Girls initiate their elders
and l often sit and hear testimony in
cases where these girls are involved
and wish we could get back to the
days of hoop skirts, when such a dis
play of form was unknown. 1 thor
oughly believe it may be true, as the
New York youthful murderer declared,
that he was led to his crime by the
passion inspired by modern immodest

The heat of the presidential year and
the general dyspeptic condition of things
has caused an alarming slump in the
number of pies consumed in Chicago,

the other hand says It's not so-in
Manhattan every inhabitant from the
Bronx to the Battery still consumes a
slice of apple and glass of milk at
noontime.
Atlanta meanwhile continues along
the even tenor of its way. Precisely
the same number of pies are being
made today in the Gate City as were
made on this date last year, and vir-
tually the same people are eating them,
according to unquestionable statistics.
The purchasing agent of an uptown
restaurant, when asked for pie in
terview talked for ten minutes on the
high cost of powdered. sugar and then
stated that the pie situation was about
the same, excepting that the Old-time
fondness for custard was being super
seeded by a tendency toward dewberry.

PASTOR QUITS CHURCH
FOR REFUSING HIM ONE
VACATION IN so YEARS

PHOEBUS, VA, July 22.-Having
had no vacation in 80 years, DR.. John
M. Pitcher pastor of the First Baptist
church here, has resigned his charge
in order to get one. He applied to his
church for vacation, but it appears
that his request was refused, because
the treasury was not in a condition to
warrant the employment of a substi-
tute during the regular pastors abb
sence.
And so DR.. Pitcher. who was for many
years head of the Virginia Baptist Sun
day School association. relieved the sit
uation by rendering his resignation, eff
fective July 81. He announces that he
will be open to other engagements at
the close of his vacation two months
hence.
