THE DARROW DEFENSE
SCORES STRONG POINT
Testimony in Effect Is That
Franklin Had Said DarrOW
Was Innocent.
PROVES HIM A PERJURER
As He Had Sworn Positively That lie
Had Never Made This Statement
to Anyone.
PROVES HIM A PERJURER

Los Angeles, Feb. 1S.-Two witness
es to syear that Bert H. Franklin de-
clared Darrow to be honest and up
right, innocent Of any attempt to bribe
jurors through him, were put on the
stand by the Darorw defense today,
when the trial of the former chief
counsel for the McNamaras was re-
sumed. They were Frank L. Domin-
guez, legal associate of Earl Rogers,
Gordon G, Watt, secretary Of the Mon
tana state senate, and former city
clerk of Venice, Cal.
Franklin told me-, Dominguez tes-
titled, that Darrow had nothing to
do with the bribery of jurors in the
Mcnamara trial, and that Darrow
was the best friend he ever had, and
would never stand for corruption or
dirty work. He said that Darrow was
Of the highest integrity and above re-
proach."
Following Dominguez on the witness
stand, Watt testified that Franklin told
him, in the presence of other persons
that Darrow never gave him any mon,
ey for jury bribing,
"He told me-" Watt said, that the
district attorney was holding the Lock
wood bribery over his head to comp6
him to testify against Darrpw."
Under cross-examination by Distric
Attorney Ford, Watt admitted that hc
talked with Franklin for the purpos
Of seeking information with which Il
impeach the latter's testimony in tn,
Darrow trial.
Franklin, who was one Of the states
star witnesses against Darrow, hai
testified that he told no one that Oar
row did not give him money for brib
cry purposes. 1t was to contradic
this testimony that Dominguez ant
Watt were produced by the defense.

TRAINING SCHOOL
IS WELL MANAGED
Committee Reports That Training
School for Boys Is Well
Conducted.

The special committee Of the legis-
lature, appointed TO investigate the
condition and the management Of the
state training school for boys yester-
terday afternoon brought in report
favorable to the management Of Su-
perintendent Will S. Hale. 1t is al
legged in the report that the superin-
tendent is handicapped in his work by
lack of room sufficient to take care
of the youngsters in a thoroughly prop
er manner.
The report follows:
1--WE found nothing on the surface
which would justify the feeling Of an
tipathy toward the institution which
appears to exist in the minds of many
people. A liberal use of paint and var
nish were apparent, an odor of for
maldehyde was in the air and many
small improvements have been made,
all indicating q sincere effort on the
part Of the superintendent to bring
about the same condition Of cleanli-
ness and order which exists in most
of our state state institutions. We
commend him for his efforts and hope
he will continue in these efforts un-
til he becomes entirely successful.
"As the result of our examination we
are very sure that whatever criticism
is due at the present time should be
aimed at neither the board nor at the
superintendent, but at conditions over
which these persons have no control
They are compelled to herd an average
of 100 boys into crowded quarters
and particularly into crowded sleep
ing rooms. Under such conditions Is
it to be wondered at II results have not
always been Of the best? Shame OF
the members Of this and former legis
latures that they have permitted sucf
conditions of congestion to arise; ant
shame on the people Of the state o
Oregon that they have not risen up il
their wrath and rebuked us.
"At present the average time thu
boys can be kept there is II months
They must be let go in order to max,
room for a new lot Of boys. Do yol
for moment imagine that II month
, Is sufficient time in which to build u
new character, for that is the objec
with which the boys are sent her
from all parts of the state They ough
IN have a course Of at least two year
at this school in order that our way
I ward boys may acquire good habit
i and insure the permanence thereo
t This means double the room existin
: at present. And in order to allow 70
scattering the boys out and to PERM
s separating the good from the bad, W
should expect eventually to provid
double the quarters above planned.
: "If deemd worthy and expedient b
i the board we would recommend thf
G plans be drawn for presentation [
i the succeeding Legislature"

her and Another from Sen.
atOr Joseph.

With the unanimous consent Of the
senate the Calkins resolution prohib-
iting the transmission of house bills
to the senate for consideration after
February Is, was suspended today and

ricultural college were received by

After a debate in which Senators
Joseph and Moser well nigh came to
blows, the senate passed Representa-
| tive Abbotts bill authorizing the as
sessment of road districts in counties
exceeding 100000 inhabitants. Joseph
appeared as the champion Of Dan Kel-
laher who was attacked by Moser on
the strength of an amendment to the
bill proposed by Kellaher. Moser de-
clared that Kellaher was the champion
of certain private interests.
) Kellaher replied coolly though sar.
castically, accusing Moser Of telling
Ifalsehoods Joseph, however, arose in
wrath. He said that Kellaher as Q
member Of the Portland council had
saved the people thousands Of dollars
by protecting them from the corpora
tions while Moser had never saved
them a cent. Moser replied hotly, Hc
said that his record was clean ant
that he had never been indicted by &
grand jury or even arrested.
Mulkey Given the Floor.
Ex- United States Senator Fred w
Mulkey appeared in defense Of Sena
tor Kellaher's bill to save to the city
Of Portland certain riparian rights t

FIRE ENGINE MIDDLE
STILL UNSETTLED
Council Has Il Busy Session and
Grinds Out a Good Grlst Of
Work.

After a heated debate in which AL
dermen Rigdon and Macy were pitted
against each other as the principals
the city council last night again failed
to get definite action on the proposed
purchase of an automobile fire engine,
A. G. Long, representing the American
La France Fire Apparatus Co., who
was not present when the discussion
took place a week ago, was present
last night and declared that he would
withdraw the bid of his firm unless
the city, if 1t decides that a competi-
tive test of the enginess must be made
here, will draw up definite specifica-
tions on which the engines are to be
judged, ..
The final action of the tangle last
night was the passing of motion to
refer the matter to the mayor, the city
attorney and the fire and water COM
mittee. These officials will draw up a
contract to be signed by themselves
and by the representatives of the COM
peting firms. The motion to this effect
was made largely as a result Of Mr.
Longs declaration that he would not
have. his company ship car across
the continent for a competitive test
unless he knew exactly what would be
required Of the car, and had 1t in writ
ing SO that every possibility Of litlga-
ton might be avoided.

Washington, Feb. 1S,-Diaz is rap
idly winning control of Mexico City,
and Madero's downfall hourly grows
nearer. This is the gist Of an uncen-
sored dispatch received here today
from Ambassador Henry Lane Wilson
the first uncensored news of the ac-
tual fighting since Saturday night.
Wilson reported to the state depart
ment that there was serious conflict
yesterday and part of last nipht, and
that the Diaz forces are steadily ad-
vancng The American ambassador
declared that Diaz soon will control
the whole residential part of the city.
Last night the federals retired from
their exposed positions into the palace
which is held by General Blanquets
trOODs.

Streets Full of COrpses.

StreetS Full OF COrpSeS'
Wilson said there had been fierce
fighting, and that the federals had suf-
fered enormous losses. The American
embassy was repeatedly in the line Of
fire and was struck by many spent
bullets, which, however, did little dam
age. He said there were many dead
and wounded, mostly Maderistas, in
front Of the embassy.
Wilson reported he had been unable
to ascertain what damage was wrought
to the federal stronghold but the fir
ing was fierce during the entire revolt.
The American ambassadors dispatch
es indicate that the condition Of Mexi-
co City is approaching in chaos I'm
buried corpses threaten pestilence, the
Red Cross and White Cross organiaa-
tions have disbanded, and the troops,
poorly fed, are becoming desperate.
Diaz WIN BE Victor.
The American embassy apparently is
the only spot of refuge in the whole
city. There Wilson has established a
zone of safety, where the strlctest san
itatlon is enforced.
The gravity of official dispatches,
contrasted with the censored press
| kilograms, Is believed TO prove that
Madero is trying desperately to con-
ceal the conditions Of his cause.
Most dispatches are being delayed,
and It is doubtful just what has real
Ily happened in the battle-torn city
within the last few hours.
Telegraphing from Vera Cruz today,
Consul-General Canada declares that
hundreds of refugees are crowdlng
into that city from the capital. He
has funds to feed them only for two

almost beyond belief.

Athletic Underwear and Silk Sox
Worm by Prosperous Farmers

TROM cotton sock to silk SOCK
from Pepperell drill underwear
to the athletic garment (Which
stops at the knees). is a long step
but this step has been taken by pros
porous farmers in Georgia and by
countless numbers of young men In
the smaller towns. Ask c. A. Smith
NJ. l.. Crawford anu G. p. Irby, sales
men of the A. NJ. Robinson Company,
and they will tell you as much. The
long to-th heel" underwear has had
its day and is now found only among
old men who are Constitutionally op-
posed to change. Likewise, the more
refined taste of the country districts
calls for silk socks which retail at so
cents a pair, and the once widely
used cotton sock is all but a relic
of bygone days. and the popularity Of
Isle hose at the same price is begin
ming to pale.
The farmer is not so much behind
his city brother after all. Twen-
tieth century ideas of hygiepe have
extended into the country to help the
sale Of cool, loose fitting underwear,
