raigned in Court Today.

special Dispatch to The Star.
ANN ARBOR. Mich. March 1S.-Shac-
Killed. to policemen and under heavy guard.
eighteen students arrested for rioting were
removed in groups of four from the county
jail today. taken through crowd of more
than thousand to the courthouse and
arraigned before Justice Dooley.
Fifteen were released by furnishing bail
of 81 600 each, the formal complaint being
rioting and damage to property.
Extraordinary precautions were taken
by the police, because they feared an at
tempt to rescue the boys under arrest
would be made by the large crowd. which
was composed in part of the students who
helped wreck the Star Theater and the
Hoppe saloon next door and defy the police
and fire departments
The students, represented by local at
torneys, waived the reading of the COM
plant and demanded examination,
which was set for Friday morning, and
bail was fixed at 81 900 each in every case.
This was furnished by local merchants.
The maximum penalty under the statute
is five years in prison. 81 600 fine or a year
in the county Jail. There is no minimum
penalty.
The crowd of college men was so great
that benches were broken in Judge
Dooley's courtroom and the big window
light smashed. The court stated that I'M
less the room was cleared he would ad-
journ and take his own time about fix
ing the bail. This served to cause a
stampede of students outward.

The allegations of Mr.. McKee's cruelty
to his wife and child and of his fragrant
support of the contention that Mr.. and

This step. to be discussed as to ways

So far as is known here no successor has
been chosen by the men who desire to

chairman, stands high with the federal

George W. Aldridge of Rochester and
George w. Dunn of Binghamton both
have been discussed.
Hughes men are wondering what effect
this predicted change would llave on the
governors presidential chances Most of
them argue that because of Woodruff's
lukewarm support of the governor it
could not be very harmful and might
make more certain in some conditions this

Judge Woods Remarks.


Stating that he believed that Harry
Orchard. in his testimony in the trials
of William p. Haywood and George A.
PettibHne. for the murder of ex-Gov.
Frank Steunenbcrg. told the exact truth,
attempting to conceal nothing. Judge
Fremont Wood in tho district court. to-
day recommended that the state board
of pardons commute Orchards sentence
of death to imprisonment in the state
penitentary. The sentence of death was
pronounced in accordance with the plea
of guilty entered by Orchard Tuesday
of last week. when arraigned. Judge
Wood presided at both the Haywood and
Pcttibone trials.
Review of the Case.
In sentencing Orchard and recommend
ing the communication of his sentence
Judge Wood reviewed the case from the
time of the killing of Frank Steunenberg
to the present. including the arrest of
Orchard. his confession. the arrest of
Charles F.. Meyer. president of the West
er1l Federation of Miners: William d.
Haywood. secretary-treasurer of the fed
Grafton. and George A. Pettibone. the
trials of Haywood and Pettibone and the
plea of guilty entered by Orchard to the
charge or murder IN the rrSt degree. the
punishment for which, under the Idaho
ST atutes. is death.
In regard to the part of Orchard In the
trials. Judge Wood said:
II am more than satisfied that the de-
PENDANT now at the bar of this court
awaiting final sentence has not only acted
in good faith i'm making the disclosures
that he did. but that he also testified fully
and fairly to the whole truth. Withholding
nothing that was material and declaring
nothing which had not actually taken
place.
1T was the particular province of the
court to observe and follow this witness
upon the former trials. and I am of the
opinion that no man living could conceive
the stories of crime told by the witness
and maintain himself under the merciless
fire of the attorneys
