an early arrival at that happy

at exactly fifteen minutes to one

Long famous for strange and

gardens, Cole Brothers triple

IS the only black camel ever
seen in captivity and the only
wild one ever brought to this
country. Prof. Knude. who has
given a great deal of study to
the subject, claims he finds this
beast a descendant of the
few which survived the storms
which about the year 100 over
whelmed the village of the Cobb
plateau and killed all of the
people. AT any rate it is a prize
of which any show might justly

Out of a Calm UneventfuI Day There Arose a Clash Between the Attorneys Against Whom the Court Assessed Usual Fines
DARROW'S ASSOCIATE
 HARTMAN A WITNESS
Suggestion by the Prosecu- tion Regarded by Defense as a Means of Insulting Witness Placing Him in Light of Criminal
ASSOCIATED PRESS pIsPATCH1


 LOS ANGELES, July 9.-Job Harri- man took the stand at the trial of Dar- row today, and flatly contrajicted the sensational testimony of Bert Frank lin, which seemingly involved him in an attempt to bribe jurors in the McNa- mara case He denied that he had ever given Darrow $4000 which Franklin confessed to having used to corrupt Geo. N. Lockwood, or that he had even seen Darrow and Franklin in the morn- ing of that day.
 Hartman who was the socialist can ddate for mayor of Los Angeles last fall as we'll as associate counsel in the McNamdra case, was called to the stand after the reading of more than score of Iepositions from Chicago char acter witnesses highly eulogistic of the accused.
 The day until then had been quiet and the most uneventful since the be- ginning of the trial. Before Hartman had been asked the usual preliminary questions the court room became a scene of turmoil with opposing counsel gesticulating wildly and shouting at the top of their voices The storm did not subside before Earl Rogers and Assist ant District Attorney Ford had been fined for contempt but the fines were subsequently, remitted. The uproar was created hy the prosecutions request that the court read to the witness that section of che statute referring to granting immunity. All the attorneys were in tEeir feet in an instant, while the witness smilingly waived all legal rights to immunity. Employing the most passionate manner he had used since the trial began. Darrow himself ob- jeCted St St.enOuSly to the reading of the section. He declared that Hartman had come to the stand voluntarily, that he was not under compulsion and that the district attorneys purpose was to | insult the witness.
 Then followed verbal clashes. The first was between Darrow and Ford. District Attorney Fredericks followed with denial that there had been any intention to insult the witness. Appel took issue with the prosecutor, holding that he was seeking to brand the wit ness as a criminal before he had testi- fled.
 Judge Hutton finally denied the ap- pllcatlOn Of the prosecution TOT the reading of the immunity section anu order was restored for the moment. Rogers who was conducting the exam inatiOn of Hartman propounded | lengthy question, reciting the testimony of Franklin which involved the witness. Ford was on his feet before the ques- tiOn was completed, protesting against the form of interrogation. Both lawyers were immediately shouting as loudly 1 as they could but Ford broke the ground first and sat down and Rogers l finished the question.
 The judge fined both attorneys and l then remitted the fines.
 A total of fifty-one dispositions was read into the records and ten more are l to be heard

REBELS ANGRY
 WITH CAUSE
Kept Americans in Deten- tion at Juarez Until They Got Satisfaction as to Check on Which Payment Had Been Stopped
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH

JUAREZ. July 9.-Twenty- five Americans, including the American consul, were held in the office of the Mexican Northwestern railway here tonight for nearly two hours while an armed guard of rebels prevented them from leaving the building.
 The rebel officials had become an gered at the officers of the North western on account of the alleged worthlessness of a check for $5000 payable to the rebels as export duty on a consignment of gold ore by the American Smelling and Refining com pany at Chihuahua It had arrived at Fl Paso but when the rebels at tempted to cash the check given them by the railway officials on be- half of the smelting company the banks of Fl Paso refused payment.
 Since the check was given the fed erals had entered Chihuahua City and it is believed that the American Smelling and Refining company inn mediately stopped payment, knowing that the rebels on account of their retreat would be unable to trouble them further.
 American Consul Edwards went to the Northwestern officials to confer with H. C. Ferris. general manager;
 Thomas Ryan, traffic manager, and .C. T. Green, the general auditor. The officials were in conference at five o'clock when they suddenly found the doors of the building patrOlled. In the same building were the employees of the Patrice Oil company, but the American employees of that firm also were not permitted to leave as usual at six o'clock.
 After a brief conference the con sul left but the railway officials were cIoseted with OrozcO for some time. Edwards telephoned Colonel Orozco jwho in a few minutes ordered the guard to release all the minor em- pIoyes. Finally at seven o'clock the railway men were given their liberty, and crossed to the American side. It is said that they agreed to make good The Mexican Northwestern Is owned by British interests "l was not detained against my wishes" said Edwards tonight.
