WONG ARK'S TRIAL,

Jury Finally Secured on the Second
Day.
The impaneling of jury in the Wong
Ark murder trial, now going on before
Judge Mckinley, proved a long drawn
out affair. The entire morning yester-

noon session the jury was completed by
the swearing in of the following six
jurors: J. R. Dunkelberger, S. F. W.
Bosworth, E. @. Daniels. o. B. Allen,
Samuel Bland and G. A. Paxton.
1t was quite late when the taking of
testimony began, and only two witnesses
were put on the stand-Dr. M. M. Kan
non and Ah Lung. Their testimony
was as given upon former trials of the
defendant, and nothing new has been
brought out so far during the trial.

IN THE UNITED STATES COURT

Franchise Rights Of Street
Railway.

DErRoIr. Dec. 6.-Thers was lively
time in the United States court today
in the case involving the continuance
OF the franchise rights of the Citizsns'
Street Railway company. 1t WAS orig
ipslly instituted in the Wayne circuit
court. but . couple of months ago the
defendants succeeded in having il re-
moved TO the United States court, on
the ground that popular prejudice
would prevent the company from se-
curing an impartial trial in the local or
state courts. Yesterday . motion to
remand the case lack TO the Wayne
circuit court came up for argument.
When c. A. Kent began his argu-
ment he took up tho affidavit which
brought the case into this court. He
roasted the opposlng counsel and char.
acterlzed tho affidavit as . lie from
beginning 10 end. This brought forth
An indignant denial from Charley
Pond and Henry VI. Duffieid. who con-
tended tnat no DENIAL 10 the affidavit
had been filed. When the opposlng
counsel starte0 their arguments Mr..
Kent promptly called them down ~
every turn IN rather heated terms.
The whole tenor Of the arguments OF
the opposition Was TO show that the
case should stay IN tho United States
court. Tho arguments will be con-
tined tomorrow.
