porters to Indicate that the Taft man
agers believe their contest cases were
strongly prepared.
'The Taft headquarters were opened
today by Joseph B. Keating of In

and he .is expected to reach the city
tomorrcwsa
in the Same Hotel.
The Itosevelt and Taft headquar
ters have been established In the same
hotel. Alexander H. Revel, head of the
Illinois headquarters, who returned this
morning from Oyster Bay, gave out a
statement tonight outlining what he
said was Colonel Roosevelt's attitude
toward organisation.
"We are assured absolutely that
there will be a clear majority for
Roosevelt on the first ballot. The only
proposition in sight is to develop the
strength in preliminarie so that ulti
mately it will be controlled by Roose
velt.
"Absolutely ,nothing else has or will
be considered by Roosevelt or his
friends prior to organising the con.
vention."
Edwin W. Sims, who is in charge of
the Chicago Roosevelt headquarters
qntfl the arrival of Senator Dixon,
made public a telegram from Oscar R.
Hundley, a Roosevelt leader in Ala
bama. Mr. Hundley said that the two
delegates from the Third Alabama dis
trict, Instructed for Taft, had given
out a written statement that they
would support Roosevelt because they
believed that 90 per cent of their con
stituenoy favored his nomination.
Southern Oelegates Situation.
The southern delegates situation
was vigorously discussed by two mem
bers of the national committee who
reached here today. Henry S. Chubb,
committeeman from Florida, declared
It was "a reflection upon the integrity
of Florida republicans" to hint that
they would not stand by their in
structions for Taft. "Florida's 13
delegates are instructed for Taft," he
said, "and they will vote for him
through thlck and thin."

Give Testimony That MoNamaras
Had Arranged to Plead Guilty Short
Time Before Alleged Bribery Meet.
ing With Franklin Was Held.
Los Angeles, June 3.-That Clarence
S. Darrow, the former McNamara at
torney, will make his principal defense
on the assertion that the McNamara
brothers had agreed to plead guilty
before the alleged jury bribing was
made evident today. 'A special ses
alon of the county grand Jury for the
purpose of Investigation of alleged cor
ruption of jurors by the McNamara
defense .was the only other develop
ment today in the trial of Darrow.
ThJe grand jury session was dealsg
nated by a member of the prosecution
as a "fishing expedition" which might
result in the return of several Indlct
ments against persons charged with
complicity in the alleged unlawful op
erations of the McNamara defense.
In continuing this afternoon his
cross-examination of Bert H. Franklin,
former detective for the MoNamara
defense, Chief Counsel Rogers asked
Franklin concerning his meeting with
Larrow and Lincoln Steffens in a local
hotel, account of which was given on
direct examination, that Darrow
showed him the list of names compris
ing the ninth special venire of Mc
Namara talesnen, including the names
of Lockwood and Kruger.
Mr. Rogers said at the conclusion of
the session that Lincoln Steffens and
others would testify that the arrange
ment for the pleas of the McNamara
brothers had been concluded before
the evening of November 25, 1911, the
time of the meeting testified to by
Franklin.
Much of the session was devoted to
the conditions surrounding Franklin's
immunity for giving evidence against
D)arrow. Franklin testified that the
only statement Assistant Attorney
Ford had made to him regarding im
munity 'was "Bert. we do not want
you: we want those behind you."
When the trial was resumed this
afternoon, Attorney Frank F. Fowler
attempted to make a statement to the
court.
Bert H. Franklin, on direct exami
nation last Friday, testified that A.
K. Kruger, a talesman in the Mc
Namara case, had told him that Fowler
had approached him with the view of
purchasing his vote as a juror.
Judge Hutton refused to allow Fow
ler to address the court. The prose
cution vigorously protested against any
statement by Fowler in the presence of
the jury.
The first question asked Franklin
on the resumption of his cross-examl
nation by Chief Counsel Rogers con
cerned a conversation between Frank
Iln and Fowler after the Friday ad
journment. Franklin ewas asked
whether he had told Fowler that he
would not believe Kruger on oath.
Franklin replied that he had said
something like that.
The witness was then questioned as
to his knowledge of the arrange
ments for his plea of guilty '' the
bribery of Juror Robert F. Bain uuJ
his subsequent fine of $4,000.
