Santa being victorious, in almost every instance. Bert Hardy, elect of next veer's track team of the university, was the individual star of the meet held.

None of the events was timed, but it is that several were close to the record class. A crowd of 2,500 gathered to witness the affair. The results of the day were as follows: 50 yard dash Hardy, Santa Clara, first: Gates, Pastime club, second; Best, Santa third. 100 yard first; Best, second: Gates, third. li'O yard hurdles Santa t'lara, Fitzpatrick, Santa Clara, second; Baumbaugh, Olympic club, third.

Old Beit Ringer There Probably the most interesting figure In the great throng at Santa Clara today was obi Manuel Galiado, 94 years old. Since was an acolyte in the old mission before he came into his teens, (ialindo has made it a religious duty to sound angelus on the old mission chimes.

And so today when the signal was given from the tower that the festivlttes were about to begin, it was Galindo who tugged at the rope. He swung at the cord with a healthy, fervent and crimed the hells in rhythm melody. Again in the evening when the call was made for evening prayer he performed his religious task. Calindo has a deeper veneration for those chimes than a Kocian could possibly have for his favorite violin.

After giving a beautiful Spanish selection, she seized a Spanish flag and sang the i Star Spangled Banner. No less reverence was paid to the singing of this I national anthem than was observed when Hte religious observances held attention. The 10,000 In the open field stood uncovered and when the last refrain was repeated joined with the singer.

This is the first time Miss Petre has ever sung in her native state. She was a favorite court singer in London last season. Franciscans Give Benediction A unique part of the program was the mission benediction given by the Fran-1 clsean order of monks. Jt was the Franciscans under Tomas de la Pena and Padre Magin Catala that founded and built up the mission, although the college and university were established by the Jesuits. Out of compliment and respect to the important part played by the Franciscans in the mission's growth, the program was arranged to have Father Maximilian Neumann of the Order of St.

Francis give the vesper service bringing the exercises of the day to a close. He was assisted by Father Apolinaris, deacon, and Father Anthony, subdcacon. Visitors Wrecked on Road Wliilo speeding along the road two miles north of Santa Clara this afternoon to join in the exercises at the university, a machine driven by Pedro Garcia, a capitalist of Vallejo, overturned, and Garcia and his wife were thrown from the car. Mrs. Garcia was thrown nearly 15 feet, but did not sustain any injury.

Garcia, when picked up by a passing machine which contained Lewis F. Byington. former district attorney of San Francisco. WM bleeding from an ugly wound on the forehead. He was rushed to the university and medical attendance was hastened.

It was found that the injury was trifling, and both Mr. and Mrs. Garcia attended the exercises. The machine is a total wreck. are no police in the town, but there is a constable.

He was too busy, however, to watch everything going on, with 20.000 additional visitors in the town, so when Timothy Horgan of Watsonville complained that his auto had beon stolen there was little temporary redress. A search will be made, and Horgan hopes to recover it.

DARROW WITNESS NEATLY TRAPPED Prosecution Deftly Produces Damaging Telegram Denied Under Cross Examination DOS ANGELES, June prosecution in the Clarence Darrow trial has either been adroit in turning a seemingly tactical defeat into victory, or else District Attorney Fredericks has led the defense into a trap that Is at least embarrassing and may result in the impeachment of testimony given Iby Anton Johannsen, labor leader from San Francisco and witness for the defendant. The court had ruled, over objections, that the state should pause in the introduction of evidence until the defense could show that Darrow, of counsel for the MeNamaras, had no knowledge of the alleged abduction of i Mrs. Flora A. Caplan, a McNainara witness, by Johannsen. had related in court the story of his trip with Mrs.

Caplan from San Francis, and had reiterated that he had held no communications with McNamara lawyers regarding it. Replying to questions, Johannsen denied having sent telegrams from Reno to Darrow, or to John R. Harrington, another McNamara lawyer. At this juncture Fredericks dramatically presented an original telegram in cipher, written and signed, as admitted by the witness, in Johannsen's hand writing. The message had been riled at Reno, July 31, 1911, addressed to Harrington at San Francisco, and advising him, according to translation, "All right, Flora Caplan is fine; all on train." The submission of Jhis telegram appeared to take the defense by surprise, ami afforded the climax for a tenae period of cross examination during which Johannsen matched wits with the district attorney.

One of parrow's attorneys had appeared worried by Fredericks' line of examination and had interposed repeated obi jections, but Johannsen had jauntily said: "It doesn't bother me any." "Did you telegraph to any one connected with the McNamara defense from Reno, or on the way to Chicago?" had asked the witness. "No." "Did you telegraph to Mr. Darrow?" "No." "You didn't telegraph to Job Harriman?" "No." "N'orUo Harrington?" "No." are sure you did not telegraph to Harrington from Reno?" "I am not sure; no." By this time Johannsen was manifestly worried, and added that he could not remember; but he still was able to say to Darrow's counsel: "What's the difference?" Then Fredericks put in the telegram, and Johannsen acknowledged the writing. A pocket dictionary had been used for the cipher. It is announced that the state will try to prove tomorrow a closer nection between Darrow and Mrs.

Cuplan's removal. Harrington is now a witness for the state, waiting here to testify against Darrow. Additional events of a sensational nature are expected during the coming week. Most interest centers in the expected appearance on the witness stand of Harrington, who was chief investigator for the McNamara defense and who Is now regarded, next, to Bert H. Franklin, as the most important witness for the prosecution.

Members of the district attorney's staff have indicated that Harrington would testify to numerous acts of corruption in which he participated while engaged with the McNamara defense. Harrington has been in Dos Angeles for nearly a month, but during that entire time he has carefully refrained from appearing in public. The prosecution has made no secret of its intention to show, by the testimony of Harrington, the alleged connection between Darrow and the acts of corruption other than that of jurors charged against the McNamara defense, which have been made a part of the collateral case against the former chief counsel of the "McNamara brothers. Whether or not the defense will place O. A.

Tveitmoe on the stand later in accordance with original plans, was not indicated today by members of the defense. In view of the facts brought out on cross examination of Johannsen, which were declared to be very favorable to the prosecution, it was believed today that Tveitmoe would be held until the defense begins the presentation of its case in the regular order of procedure. I. H. Breed, a San Francisco taxicab proprietor, is expected to be the first witness called by the prosecution.

He will be followed by George Bhon. uncle of Ortie McManlgal, who, according to the district attorney, will testify to attempts by the McNamara defense to bribe him to commit perjury during the grand jury Investigation of the dynamite conspiracy.

KENTUCKY SITE TO BE CHOSEN TODAY Exposition Commissioners From Bluegrass State Are Enthusiastic Over Prospects The Kentucky commissioners to the exposition arrived yesterday, ready to select the site for their state building They are Senator 11. D. Newcomb of Louisville, Senator S. Marshall of Henderson and Representative J. W.

Holland of Shellville. all of whom will meet today at the Fairmont for a conference, after which they will call on President Moore and the fair directors. "The greatest interest obtains throughout our commonwealth regard- ing the exposition," said Representative Holland at the Palace last night. "and Governor McCreary, who appointed this commission in accordance with the bill drafted by myself, will do all in his power to see that Kentucky Is adequately represented. No approbation has been made yet.

We are authorized to select the site for the building and to report back to our legislature as to its probable cost. Whatever is necessary will then be forthcoming. "It is the intention of Kentucky 's legislators and business men to make a. varied showing of Kentucky products. Every confidence prevails that San Francisco will do herself proud in this fair, and we mean to exhibit to the world what Kentucky has to show.

It is probable that our foremost exhibit will be specimens of blooded cattle. Kentucky is very proud of the fact that it possesses the finest types of Jersey and Hereford stock to be found in the world, finer than Is to be found in the Island of Jersey itself. The products of Kentucky distilleries will be given full representation, and probably some examples of Kentucky thoroughbred horses will be shown. "Notwithstanding the scarcity of fine horses in the country today, it is a fact that our state is raising finer blooded horses than ever before, and we want every one to know it, especially in this day when the government is finding the greatest difficulty in procuring suitable stock for its needs." Holland expressed eagerness to know if all the best sites for state buildings had been chosen and was visibly relieved to learn that several were still available. He and his colleagues will go out to the fair grounds today.
