them to pass flor work on the road" Clark declared that it had probably been an oversight up- on his part which was prompted by the rush of clerical work" The certificates. as presented in evidence. issued since 1912, could in no way be distinguished from the ordinary road work certificate.
 Clark declared that boarding houses were absolutely necessary to facilitate road construction. He said that even under the system he had never made nickel out of the busi- ness. He fatly denied ever having presented for payment a fradulent claim to the county Explaining why he had seen fit to complicate the accounts for services to the county by Eckert and Clinesmith, he de. clared that it was necessary to do so to avoid as much work as pos sible, there being a lack of clerical help and an enormous amount oi work to do. He pointed out that he had at one time paid nine men for road work with a single vouch- ed. The amount due each of these men was small, however.
 The cross-cxamination had pro ceeded not much further than hay ling Clark examine and identify num- crous road warrants which are in volved in the case, when adjourn ment time arrived. The county at torney had secured many admis- sions from the witness that this and that road warrant contained amounts due Clark for the board of the per son to whom they were given.
 During the examination of Clark an interruption occurred by the placing of Frank Goodman, division engineer of the state highway de partment, on the stand by the de- fense for the purpose of question ing him as to the cost of boarding men at such camps as Clark main tained.
 During the morning session. Clar- ence Eckert. Harry Eckert, NJ. Ro- land and William West were ex- amined briefly for the denfendant.

DEFENSE IN ARENA.
(From Saturdays Daily.)

Timely and judicial interference by Judge William F. Cooper yester- day afternoon prevented nothing short of hsticuff between the at torneys in the Clark graft proceed ings. Growing red in the face, his throat hoarse from anger and his general appearance and manner be- speaking one ready and willing to resent what he probably considered insinuations upon his official char acter, County Attorney F. w. O'Sul- livan jumped to his feet and de manded the attention of the court. A moment before, Attorney F. s. Clark had concluded an oratorical arraignment of the county at torney for objecting to testimony of fered by the defense. For fifteen minutes after Clark's argument the county attorney sat staring blankly ahead apparently determined to hold his temper. But when the volcanic storm became more and more fur ious, he jumped to his feet, shot for the water fountain, gurgled hastily glass of the limpid fluid, cleared his thoat and asked for the attention of the court in words not tempered with love- If the court please" he said, q arise to a ques- ton of personal privilege. I ab- solutely resent these insinuations. 7" Here Mir. Clark gruffly retorted, They are not insinuations, they are truths,' and as he said the words, he arose from his chair and started in the direction of the water fountain, located within two feet of the county attorneys chair, while the county attorney followed him with his eyes which fairly sparkled with anger. Mir. Clark poured a glass of water and drank it. while the court room was fairly thrilled with expectant silence. The dramatic episode was ended right there by the sudden interference of the court. who ordered a recess of half an hour
 At o'clock court was again call ed but the tension was still high. and Judge Cooper ordered adjourn ment until 9:30 o'clock this morn ing, stating that he was not yet prepared to rule upon the objection offered by the county attorney to certain phases of evidence sought to be introduced by Clark. The trouble commenced a few minutes after Clarence Eckert was placed upon the stand as the first witness for the defense, the state having rested.
 Eckert is by vocation a miner and tool mechanic. By him the defense declared it wanted to show that Eckert had divided his time almost impartially between the county and the mine owned by Clark on Slate creek. The point raised by the de- fensc was that it mattered not who worked on the roads, or what road certificates were signed or submit

NORTHERN ROUTE IS BEST FOR
 B|G RACE
(From Tuesdays Daily.)

NFIOln IuCSudy OdlIy.J Boost for the Northern Route! Prescott is falling into line with general endorsement of the pro posed substitution of the northern route, leading through this city, for the southern Yuma route, in the Los Angeles Phoenix auto endur- ance race during the next state fair. Local boosters point out that the event, if brought through this city, would prove of inestimable value both financially and from an adver- Using standpoint
 Three reasons are given excep- tional prominence by local auto booster to the Western Automobile Association to have the race pro ceed over the northern course this year. They arc:
 l. Because the northern route is the better suited to road racing.
 ?. Because the southern route has been tried and found wanting.
 3. Because the people along the northern route are interested.
 An additional argument is that the ncatest stretch of boulevard road along the entire length of over HOO miles in the two routes is located right here in Yavapai, upon the northern route. This stretch extends from Prescott to Wicken- burg. a distance of over sixty miles.
 This reason alone should prompt the drivers who propose going into the race to favor the northern course. In the event that the race is run over this course, Prescott will become the second night con trol. This would mean that the winner would virtually have to en- ter Prescott first The rest of the journey, barring accidents, would probably be made by all entries in about the same time.
 Prescottonlans should get toScth- CT strong tor the northern route. It means a great deal to this city i The classic would bring innumer- able people here on the day the cars arrive. A splendid view of the machines in action could be pro cured at some vantage point out side of the city. while a truly re- panorama, with the racers occupying the spotlight could be had at the Copper Basin descent In addition. the cars could be seen here overnight
 Indications are that Prescott, for the first time in the history of the classic, will be represented in the big race.

EXCITEMENT ENLIVENS
 CLARK TRIAL
(From Fridays Daily.)

(From Fridays Dally.) Legal entanglements in the Clark
 graft case again stopped the trial
 and sent the jury to another rest yesterday afternoon at 2:30, to give
 Judge Cooper time in which to rule definitely and in detail on the mat
 ter of admisibilitv of oral evidence by the members of the board of supervisors with reference to or ders they pave Clark concerning
 the conduct of his official duties.
 The court ruled only tentatively on this point Wednesday, and after the county attorney announced that the state will have finished its case as soon as the testimony of the commissioners and the clerk Of the board Is taken, ii the court would permit such evidence, the adjourn ment became necessary to settle the point at issue
 Some Excitement.
 The case yesterday and the latter part of the afternoon session We'd ncsday, was fraught with an inter est bordering on excitement Late Wednesday Judge Cooper took oc- casion to severely reprimand At torney E. s. Clark, who was con- ducting the cross examination Of Harry Eckert at the time in behalf of the defense The judge warned the attorney that he would no long
 CT stand for insinuating remarks, saying. 'counsel must respect the court" and intimating that his warn ng was the continuation of what he considered to be a series of dis respectful insinuations by Attorney Clark.
 Another incident which caused mo- mentary excitement was a clash
 between the county attorney and At torney Clark. At the commence ment of the "ruffle' it seemed prob able that something more weighty than words might be applied, but
 the anger Of the county attorney cooled down about as suddenly as it had been raised, and both men re- sumed their normal temperament. Testimony Ruled Out
 The ruling of the court on the objection to the testimony of Mrs. \. Williams by counsel for the defense on the ground that 1t rep resented an incomplete transaction, barred the woman from telling about the payment of road warrants which are alleged to be in the Prescott
 bank, and which have not been pre- sented to the county for payment. These warrants are said to have
 been issued to her to pay her sal ary as a cook at Clark's boarding camp. During the argument on this
 point the jury was sent from the room. The county attorney showed
 by the witness, however, that she
 was a cook at the Clark boarding
 camp; that she was paid by check
 for services for the month of April,
 1914; that she was told by Clark
 to sign the warrant "A. Williams"
 instead of Mrs. A. Williams" that she had signed road warrant certifi-
 cates and that she had been paid
 for her services as cook for Clark's
 boarding house by county road war
 rants. It was when. the county att
 torney attempted to question Mrs.
 Williams concerning warrants yet
 in the bank which she had signed
 that the objection was made and
 later sustained.

ceding day. following the introduc- tion of some evidence against Clark Inv member of the board, was finally settled in favor of the de fense. The ruling was conceded al most as important as the one Tn which Tudpe Cooper cleared the way ior inc trial by everything the ob- lection of the defense to the intro duction of evidence. As result of the latest ruling, the county at tornev is prohibited from introduc- ;na testimony from members of the hoard which is not a matter ot re cord. In addition to this the defense scored another important point when Judge Cooper sustained the objection to the introduction Of the report of State Examiner w. II. Plunkett in evidence. The state ex- aminer went over the accounts ot the road department after the case was known, but by the ruling ot the court the contents of his report, will. for the time being, at least. re- main sealed. SO far as the jury IS concerned.
 Little New Evidence.
 After the ruling of the judge on the Plunkett controversy, the jury was recalled and the introduction Of testimony resumed. Four wit nesses were called in rapid success sion by the county attorney, neither one of whom added any material evidence to that already adduced, each. however. adding some strawS of weight to the fabric of the prose cution.
 The principal evidence which was expected to be on the records be- fore the court adjourned was that of Jess Kellum, the man against whom a charge is now pending in the Superior Court in connection with the Clark cases, and who was a partner of Clark in conducting the boarding houses which figure so prominently in the case at bar. The hour of court adjournment was drawing near, when kellum was sworn, but the county attorney in sisted that he be permitted to ex- anime the witness before adjourn ment. the court finally deciding that he might do so. The attorneys for the defense, however, blocked the way as much as possible, finally declaring that they had an objection to the introduction of evidence by Kellum which would take one-half hour to present, whereupon Judge Cooper adjourned court until 9.3O this morning, when Kellum will again be on the stand.
 About the only question that was asked and answered by Kellum be- fore Clark's attorneys succeeded in adjourning the trial, was: "Who got the money received from this boarding house?"
 'We bought provisions with it, was the reply.

Heap on Stand.

Supervisor Harry w. Heap fol lowed Mir. Stephens on the stand, and his testimony was principally in corroboration of the evidence of Mir. Stephens. MT. Heap admitted, on cross-examination, that the equip mcnt now being operated by the county was the property of Clark; that upon advice of the county attorney, the defendants salary as road super intendent had been held up in the office of the board of supervisors during the past six months and that Clark had been suspended from office pending the trial of the graft actions. This latter evidence was later ordered stricken from the record, however, by virtue of the fact that the board had not the authority to suspend the road sup erintendent from office.
 The examination of Messrs. Heap and Stephens concluded the morn ing session and the prosecution closed. The defense commenced its side of the issue, as already stated. the first move being mo ton to strike from the record all the states testimony by the mem bers of the board, which was taken under advisement.
