 These arrests are interpreted as indicat- ing that the extreme conservatives are in the ascendency and that the government has determined to suppress the freedom of speech which has prevailed since the upheaval of 1900. The names of forty residents of Pekin who are accused of liberal tendencies were presented to the dowager empress today by the reaetionary officers and who recommended severe punishment
 Those accused are considered guilty of only what in enlightened countries would be termed Legitimate criticism of the government" This is said also to be true of the native journalists imprisoned at Shanghai except in the case of two of them, who suggested the assassination of the Manehu rulers as a remedy for China's troubles.

JUDGE GRAY SAYS
 YES OR NO TODAY
Birmingham Delegation Calls and Urges His Acceptance
MESSAGES ARE EFFECTIVE
Miners and Operators Controversy Explained In Detail to Judge Gray. 1t Is. Now Believed That
 He Will Accept.

The following Associated Press dispatch was received yesterday afternoon:
 Wilmington, Del. July 29.-R. H. Pear son and Charles McCrery, mine ope- rators of Alabama, and William Fairley and Edward Flynn, representatives of the miners union in that state, who compose four members of a board of ar bitration to settle strike of coal miners in Alabama, came to Wilmington today to request Judge Gray to accept the ap- pointment as the fifth member of the commission.
 The visitors had a conference with Judge Gray at his chambers in the fed eral building and the subject of the con ference was gone over in detail. Judge Gray informed them that he would an- nounoe his decision tomorrow. It is un- derstood he is favorable to accepting, providing It will not interfere with his judicial duties.
 While there was nothing more than Is contained in the message quoted above on which to base an opinion, 1t seemed to be the general opinion in Birmingham yesterday among those In close touch with the situation that Judge Gray would accept the position of fifth arbitrator. A prominent Walker county operator in speaking of the situation said; While Judge Gray will doubtless be obliged to forego a considerable part of his vaca- ton and make many sacrifices of pers- onal comfort still I think he will accept. . The agitation made by the newspapers { caused the prominent men of the state to deluge him with telegrams. They set forth the gravity of the situation, and impressed on Judge Gray the fact that his refusal to accept would be regarded as a public calamity and possibly bring about a condition from which Blrmlng- ham would suffer for years to come. To a man like Judge Gray this Is the strongest appeal that could be made.
 I have strong faith in hIs earnest de- sire to further and advance the cause of arbitration in every instance where 1t can be invoked for the settlement of labor and other disputes. I believe that he has faith in the ultimate agreement of capital and labor to settle their dif- ferences by this method, and they can only realize the benefits of the system through experience. For these reasons believe that he will accept"
