And Sale Of Arctic Machine Co. Post
poned Till Monday.

Cleveland Plain Dealer. The sale of
the properties Of the Arctic Machine
Co., bankrupt, set for yesterday noon
by Referee Remington. The trustees
were ordered to bring In new ap-
praisal of the properties based upon
lne value OF the property as NON
going concern.
The appraisal of the properties as a
going" concern, as submitted yester-
day, was $4,000. There was only one
offer to purchase. That came from
the creditors committee in the sum of
$26 ,000
Referee Remington expressed the
belief that the appraisal on the basis
of going" concern was fair and en-
tirely adequate He did not like the
$4,000 bid and ordered the appraisal
strictly on the basis Of 'nongoing"
concern.

lief that more charges could be placed

all probability this will be done.
Farley, Jackson and Adams are be-
tween the ages Of II and 20 years.

attempt to rape by the Carnes SIS
ters is 10 years old. None of the trio,
it is said have anything exceptional in
their physical makeup outside of Ear
ley who is nearly six feet tall and
eighs close to 1870 pounds
If the stories as told by the girls
can be taken as the truth, the colored
men have had relations with Lulu
Carnes and Bessie Follis since an early
date last winter. The colored men
would go to the Follis home, while
Mr.. Follis was away at work at night,
aid there meet the girls where they
were studying their lessons.
Yesterday morning the Carnes girls
were taken before Probate Judge
Aungst. AS result of this papers
have been issued to send them to the
Girls Industrial home at Delaware.
They will be sent there upon consent
Of their father, and will be accompaI-
led by Officers Rifle and Schlemmer.
This trip will be made Saturday It. is
thought The negro girl will not go
to the home as her father, former
employe of the W. & L. E. railroad
desires to keep her with him.
Some time this morning, it was stat

negroes will be arraigned before
Mayor Smith.

Benjamin Follis, the father of the

THREE MORE NEGROES ARRESTED.
Latest Developments Show More Terrible State
of Affairs in The Modern SOdom" Precinct
Than Had Been Suspected.
CARNES GIRLS TO Be TAKEN TO DELAWARE

BY confessions which the police au-
thorities secured from Lulu and Ella
Carnes, the 14-year and 12-year old
daughters of John Carnes, of I'LL
South Cherry street, and Bessie Follis,
the 14-year-old daughter of Benjamin
Follis Of Dorm alley. the atrocious
facts we're brought officially to light
yesterday that two of the young girls
Alfred Farley, Robert Jackson and
John Adams, four young colored men,
and that attempts had been made
against Ella Carnes. The Carnes sis
ters are of white blood. the Follis
child is negro. These attempts and
relations have gone on since early last
winter.
The case has proven to be series
of sensational episodes and is one that
can hardly be believed. The stories
told by the children show deplorable
srate of affairs, and the authorities
hope to infiict penalty upon the male
aggressors.
William Grant, who was arrested
wednesday night by Officers Rifle and
Schlemmer, is still behind bars in the
city prison awaiting his expected
hearing which has been set for this
morning. He has as his attorney w.
J. Piero.
When the arrest of Wednesday eve
ming was made it was not suspected
that three other negroes would be-
come implicated on the same charge as
Grant. The Carnes sisters were in no
wise backward in telling the truth,
hut Chief McCloud and City Solicitor
Hughes had trouble in getting a state
ment from the little Follis girl At
first she denied having, relations with
anyone of the four elder acquaintances
but she finally broke down and told a
story which tailed rlose to that of the
two white girls.
Within very short time informa-
tion was brought to headquarters that
Jackson, Adams and Farley were at
work in a pipe works in Newcomers
town, o., having left Canton ten days
ago. At o'clock the constable of that
village telephoned Chief McCloud that
he had arrested the trio. Lieutenant
Wielandt, and Officer Schlemmer there
fore departed for that place at Z
o'clock last night and they will return
TO Canton this morning with the pris-
oners.
A warrant for Farley was subscrib-
cd to by Benjamin Follis, the father
for rape; for Jackson, for rape upon
Lulu Carnes, this being subscribed by
Officer Schlemmer; for John Adams
for attempt to rape Ella Carnes, this
also being subscribed to by Officer

Abe Gruber, counsel for Joseph
Brooks, and for Klaw & Erlanger.
was on his feet most of the time
during the progress of the trial OF the
case this morning in the supreme
court. At times the Quarrels be-
tween the opposing counsel took the
forms of personal attacks and the
court was compelled to call them to
order. Harrison Grey Fiske, editor
of the Dramatic Mirror, husband of
Minnie Madderh, and sworn foe Of the
theatrical syndicate, occupied seat
alongside Of Mr.. Untermeyer and
prompted him in his questioning of
Erlanger
Mr.. Erlanger stated that he had
refused "to book" the play "The Auc-
tioneer" because he considered that
Mr.. Belasco should have obtained the
consent of Charles Frohman before
approaching hip on the subject. This
was because Mr.. Frohman had pre-
viously booked Mrs. Carter and
Blanche Bates for Belasco. Mr.. Err
LANCER was then asked
did you know what profit Mr..
Belasco had made with Mr.. Froh-
MANI"
He said he did not. &
Does not the syndicate agreement
specify that record Of the box Of.
fee business of every theatre In the
syndicate be made and that the pro-
Ats are pooled, and does not your
firm attend to the books of the syn
dicate?" he was then asked.
"Yes."
"You had access to the books2"
Eyes, but | did not look at the
books to find out"
In the course of his testimony Mr..
Erlanger surprised those present in
the court room by saying that the
firm of Klaw &c Erlanger had person
ally managed James X. Hackett, as
IL WAS StucTdliy tuOu6ut tuut uS udu
been his own manager during the
course of his career as an independent
player.
UP to the time court adjourned Mr..
Erlanger had failed to throw any de.
cided light on the methods pursued
by the syndicate to keep the oppo-
sition of the independents reduced
to minimum but Mr., Untermeyer
still expresses hopes that he will
succeed in bringing this out before
the witness is finally excused.
Bodyguards and former prize fight.
ers surrounded the principals in the
suit. Mr. Belasco entered with a
man twice his size walking behind
him, while Henry B. Sire was accom-
panied by Frank Kelly, a fighter
with record, who scowled at every
