Paris, Jan. 29.-Martial law was
proclaimed in Paris today Authori-
ties came to the conclusion that this is
the only means of rigidly controlling
the situation. Hungry refugees of
the flooded districts increased their
attacks on food shops this afternoon
and in many instances openly defied
the police. Adding to the danger
that is apparent, Is the announce
ment of engineers that the famous
subway under the Seine is in danger
of collapsing. Final estimates place
the property loss at two hundred
millions of dollars and a probability
Of fifty millions more resulting from
the undermining of the city.
To Construct Horseshoe Canal.
The authorities today are consid-
ering plan for the construction Of
great horseshoe shaped canal to
carry off the flood waters and slime
that covers the inundated sections of
Paris The canal will be a perma-
nent character and would serve as a
safeguard against future flood dan
gers.
Following the official announce
ment by the authorities that the flood
Mas reached its crest and passed, the
people of Paris are rejoicing in a
riotous Seine had fallen three inches
below its highest point during the last
week and is still receding.

With the argument of counsel both
for the state and for the defense, the
Arnold murder trial is drawing to a
close after holding the boards at the
court house for full week In point
Of attendance it has been the biggest
drawing card in the entire history of
criminal trials for many years. The
crowd has filled the court room to
overf,owing from the very first day
and even with the argument there

she taking of testimony was con-
Guided yesterday afternoon shortly af-
ter court Teeenvened after the noon
adjournment. Mr. Phelps for the
state, rested after introducing few
witnesses to impeach the testimony
of the principal witnesses for the de-
fense and then announced that he
rested. Attorneys for the defense
closed their case and the forensic dis
play opened up.
Assistant District Attorney Freder-
ick Steiwer opened for the state with
a demand for the conviction of the
defendant. He was followed by At
torney Homer 1. Watts for the de-
fendant. Mr.. Watts held the floor for
nearly two hours and was followed by
his associate in the defense, VIII M
Peterson. When the hour for ad-
journment arrived last evening, Mr..
Peterson was still speaking and re-
sumed his argument this morning
District Attorney Phelps made the
closing argument for the state and he
went over the entire case, pointing out
10 the jury the testimony, circumstan-
ces and details upon which the state
stood for conviction. His argument
was lengthy, occupying nearly the en-
tire forenoon and part of the after
noon, but it was a very logical pre-
sentation of the string of circumstan-
tial evidence upon which the state is
relying for a conviction.
At the conclusion of the arguments
the court instructed the jury. The
instructions were shorter than in most
murder cases for the reason that in
this case, there was no question of
self-defense or any other defense in
volved. The only question was guilty
or not guilty and the court instructed
the jury on the law governing this
There were no startling develop

statement by saying Secretary Bal

the congressman's alleged connection
with the Green" group of coal claims
in Alaska. CLAWS said 'in an inter-
view with Judge Ballinger in Wash

CLAWS said further that he went
to see Attorney General Wickersham

the assistant secretary of interior de-

decision held that the Hepburn law
