is good for the worker who needs q tonic

Apology Follows

half-apology for his anti-American utter
ances. 1t is significant that Martin
Chuzzlewit," considered by many critics
the best OF all his books. has been more
appreciated In the United States than In
England.
Dickens was a political radical, and
many OF his books were written for a
purpose--the purpose Of undertaking some
existing evil In England-but they were
too great to be ephemeral, and. their
direct purposes accomplished, they lived
on to enrich the literature and delight

 LOS ANGELES. Mar. 2.-The jury bribng indictments against Clarence $. Darrow, former chief counsel for the McNamara brothers. have become enmeshed in such legal tangles that, according to attorneys, there is pos sibiiity that all charges will be dis missed
 The complications arose when At torney Earl Rogers. representing Dar- row. refused to accept fragmentary notes Of testimony as compliance with the court order that the district attorney supply the defense With d full transcript of the evidence on which the grand jury indicted Darrow. Declaring a full transcript can not be had because all testimony was not taken by the official stenographer, District Attorney Fredcricks announc- cd he would pay no more attention to the indictmcnts, but would have Dar- row re-arrested on infOrmations, as was done in the case of Bert Frank lin. the McNamara detective who was fined S4.000 yesterday, after entering a plea of guilty to the charge of att tempting to influence juror in the McNamara trial
 More legal obstacles arose at this iunciure. however, leaving doubt as to weather, such arrest could be made in view of the fact Darrow is under in dictment for the alleged offense. Then Judge Hutton. who first ruled d par tiaI transcript was sufficient. reVerseS himself and added further to the com plicatioas by fixing March II as she date wheIiNhe accused lawyer should appear in court and have his case set for trial. When court adjourned the case was left in d Condition puZzling to the attorneys on both siGes. As 1t stands. according to counsel. the pros ecutOr connot send the case back to the grand jury because the conditions that have developed are not covered by the penal code. He cannot arrest Darrow on information because he has been indicted and finally full l transcript of the evidence, which Fred ericks declares cannot be procured must be handed to the defense five days before Darrow k brought into court to have his trial set. F'redericks and his assistants We're wrestling with ! the problem all afternoon. They stat l ed some mode of procedure would be | mapped out by Monday.

ID PASS ON
 AUTO CLAIMS
Board of Review Will Prob ably be Composed of Cir cult and Supreme Court Justices, Governor and Mayor.

Harry Welch by virtue of being a former townsman of Judge w. w. Morrow of San Francisco, and under standing that that distinguished gen. tleman Is desirous of helping along the San Francisco exposition, felt priVll- eged to call upon him yesterday in the interest of the board of trade of which Mir Welch is secretary. MT. Welch has a very important duty to perform in the securing of a capable supreme court to pass upon the merits of the various automobiles that will line up for prizes in the big parade to take place on the evening of March 9th.
 Mir. Welch informed Judge Morrow that he. had asked the mayor, the governor and the chief justice of Ari- zona to sit in that august body but that there might be such close com petition that even they would like some added assistance in determining just which machine had the best dec orations He said the board of trade would therefore feel honored if the circuit court of the United States could be represented also and there upon asked Judge Morrow if ne would lend his services on that occasion.
 Though he did not employ the RooseveltIan accent in so doing, Judge Morrow indicated that he would be delighted" to serve and he would keep in mind in rendering his decisions any and all federal statutes with 7 which he is familiar. that would seem to have any bearing on the cases. As a resident of San Francisco and oth- CT places he has seen some well deco rated automobiles and his long eX- perience should enable him to arrive at conclusions that will be both legal and just.
