GRAY DENOUNCES
CLARENCE DARROW
Bitter in Attack in Closing
Argument of Bribery
Trial

Los Angeles, March A bitter ex-
coriation of Clarence S. Darrow marked
the opening OF arguments in the trial
of the Chicago lawyer for alleged jury
bribery on behalf of the McNamaras.
The taking of testimony closed shortly
before noon today and former Judge
Wheaton A. Gray, who has acted as
special prosecutor begun the closing
argument for the state. Each side will
consume eight hours, Darrow closing
for the defense and Assistant District
Attorney Ford for the prosecution.
Gray, in the course of his denuncia-
tion of the defendant, referred to him
as the greatest power for evil in the
United States today Attacking those
who associated with him. he called
Darrow "the god of their idolatry and
the dime novel hero of their worship"
Other names applied to the defendant
were moral idiot" and "self-confessed
witness briber.'
The speaker referred constantly to
what he called Darrow's 'simpering z
smile" and Of his oratorical ability
he said:
some people and snivels a few things
through his nose, they fall PROSTATE
at his feet"

of the Rocky mountains during the past
2i hours, due to the influence of the low
that extends over that section. Freezing
weather prevailed at p. m. in the upper
Mississippi valley. ths Lake region, and
the ST. Lawrence valley, while in most of
the central and southern sections readings
at that hour ranged near so degrees.
In the southern states there is but slight
barcmetric gradient and as result
weather conditions have changed but
slightly since Monday night. The skies
have cleared generally west of Alabama,
and as the high" moves eastward it is
thought that the continued cloudiness
over central and eastern sections will give
way to- fair skies. Rain has fallen from
Birmingham north including most of the
mountain districts. Wednesday will prob
ably be fair and slightly colder in this
section, although unsettled conditions may
continue for a portion of the day.

FAIR BOOTHS BEING
RAPIDLY ENGAGED
Only a Few Are Left-To
Rearrange Building
MRS. J. B. REID TALKS
Fruits and Vegetables Entered as
Exhibits of Food for Home Con-
sumption Must Be Free
From Acids

Fruits and vegetables entered as ex-
hibits of food for home consumption at
the Alabama state fair this fall must be
free from acids and all preserving fluids,
stated Mrs. j, B. Reid. superintendent
of the Women - Department of the Ala
bama State Fair and Exhibit associa-
ton, yesterday.
Mrs. Reid also said that the building
formerly used for this department of the
fair would be rearranged this fall so as to
give much more floor space. She indi-
Gated that the entire second floor would
be covered, doing away with the present
large hole in the center of this floor
which makes it more in the nature of
a mezzanine.
The space for booths is going fast and
Mrs. Reid says there are but a few left.
Booth makers are asked to apply for
space at once,', she said yesterday. "All
church societies who engage their lunch
stand or bazaar space before April l and
make a 5o\er cent deposit by June i will
be credited with an extra IS ON their
contracts. .aa.-- f.
"The programme of the Womens De-
partment of the fair is being rapidly out
lined and the map of the building ar
ranged to accommodate a much larger
exhibit than heretofore With the renewed
energies and extended interests among
the exhibitors founded on past success,
it Is evident that the exhibit of the fair
of 1918 will far exceed any previous fair.
Already much space has been spoken
for and we have only few individual
booth spaces remaining unclaimed. We
are anxious for others contemplating
making booths or church bazaars to COM
municate with me during the week; be-
fore the catalogue data is ready for print.
Then again an Interchange of ideas and
sug ggestions will be beneficial to EACH
NO indeed" she said, when asked If
her booths would be shaped as they were
last year, 1--WE have something entirely
new this year. We have not dared put 1t
down on paper for fear our secret would
get out and you know the women always
have something different at the Alabama
State Fair.
"The state correspondence indicates al
ready activity in planting and making ex-
tenslve preparations for canning and pre-
serving vegetables and fruits. The man
agement realizing the need of training
people to live at home, has decided to
demand for exhibits such materials free
from acids and fluids for preserving and
canning and all the judges will be IN
structed along these lines. However,
when the orchard product or vegetable
Is to be exhibited only to show the per-
fection of the products and not submitted
under the head of premiums for home
consumption, there will be no objection
to such an exhibitor using canning or

the value or possibilities of an orchard

federal troops from the Aqua Preta gar
rison and soldiers of the Ninth cavalry,
Colonel Guilfoyle and General Ojeda
stood firmly on their declarations to-
night
The American army officer said that
his men will shoot TO kill if the bor-
der patrol is interfered with The Mexi-
can general asserted that If it could be
shown that his men did begin the firing
he would. execute anyone guilty of be-
ginning the trouble.
There has been no further firing on the
border near here since this morning. The
Ninth cavalry patrol has been Increased
to full force, including the machine guns,
stretching from Douglas to Forrest sta
ton.
There is much excitement here. The
city authorities consider establishing a
special guard. There is an unusual num-
Der of Mexicans in the American town.
The rebel messenger arrested on Sunday

day. Messages he carried have been sent
to Washington.
Maderistas, numberinf 800, are stationed
tonight so as to oppose the ex-rebels un-
der General Inez Salazar, reported mov-
ing to reinforce the federal garrison at

BANKHEAD
WILL Be CONSULTED
In Regard to Proposed Invi-
tatiOn to Good Roads
Federation

Upon the arrival in this city of United
States Senator John Fl. Bankhead. presi-
dent of the National Good Roads Fedora
ton, 1t will be finally determined whether
o. not this association will hold a con-
vention in Birmingham the latter part OF
April during the Potlatch Festival cele-
braton.
The good roads committee of the Cham
ber of Commerce met yesterday after
noon at the chamber headquarters and
discussed the matter of sending an invl-
tation to the federation.
The feature of the meeting was the de-
velopment of the fact that if the fedora
ton is brought here invitations will also
be extended to delegates from every other
national good roads association in the
country with the idea in view of forming
consolidation. This feature will be dis
cussed with Senator Bankhead when he
arrives in Birmingham within the next
few days He has stated that he would
leave Washington Immediately after the
Inauguration.
1t is claimed that in the United States
there are several national bodies striving
line and the object of the move contem-
plated at the convention which may be
held here is that all these may unite and
operate as one association, with the idea
that by cooperation there are better re-
suits obtained. Senator Bankhead is
president of the National Good Roads
federation.
John w. O'Neill, president of the Ala
bama State Good Roads association and
also president of the Jefferson county
association, presided at the committee
meeting yesterday and is strongly inter-
ested in securing the convention during
the Potlatch.
The entire Chamber of Commerce will
support the invitation when 1t Is ex-
tended by President O'Neill. The only
drawback feared by the committee Is
that the time may be too short for the
different national organizations to get to-
gether and appoint delegates to the BIZ
mingham consultations meeting.

quarters of the National Playground as

1t is probable that the organization OF
the association will be thoroughly COM
pieted in order to prepare for the work to
be done here when the playground eX-
pert comes within the next month or so
to take charge of these Headquarters.
John L. I<aul has been compelled to re-
fuse the presidency and it is probable
his successor will be named.

his hotel to the White House. He spent
an hour in the Presidents room In the
