southeastern part OF Fukien province.

when they attacked and looted the
town Sunday evening the revolution
lists attempted to cross to Shamien
with the purpose of capturing the po-
lice station there. They were re-
pulsed by loyal troops.
Expect Grave Developments
It Is difficult to obtain reliable news
of the progress Of the rebellion, but
the feeling here is that further grave
developments are possible. Details
of the fighting at Canton confirm earl
Ter reports of the ferocity with which
the troops and the rebels engaged.
Queueless heads and headless bodies
in European dress are still exposed
in the streets. Other bodies show that
death was caused by strangulation.
The absence of queues, together with
the clothing of western fashion, makes
plain that the dead were rebels. Bod
les of the soldiers killed appear to
have been removed.
A son of the viceroy Of Canton and
a maid were found hidden under bed
in the servants quarters of the pal
ace, which escaped destruction when
the home was set afire.
Cruiser Commander Killed.
The commander of the Chinese
cruiser was killed. Admiral Ii, who
commanded the loyal troops In the first

is not working the reform in savings
that was expected of it, at the con-
clusion of three months business the
total deposit amounted to s722, di-
vided among nineteen depositors, or
an average of $3S each. Among the
financiers here it is not seriously re-
garded as a financial factor in the
community. 1t hasn't reached the
class of people that il was expected
to reach so far, and it is not meeting
the expectations OF the friends of the
movement.

BARROW TO DEFEND
/ BOMB SUSPECTS
Will Be Chief Counsel for the
McNamaraS.
DEFENSE OBJECTS TO JUDGE
There May Be an Attempt to Seek
Change Of Venue When Prisoners
Are Arraigned Next
~ Thursday.

Los Angeles, Cal, May 3.-Follow-
ing a prolonged conference with J.
j. Mcnamara and j. b. Mcnamara,
oils held a consultation with District
Attorney Fredericks here and then
made the definite announcement that
Clarence Darrow, the Chicago lawyer,
would be the chief counsel for the
two accused men.
Rappaport stated that Mr.. barrow
would not come here until after the
arraignment of the two prisoners and
probably not until date for trial has
been set.
$4,000 for Prosecution.
District Attorney Fredericks set at
rest the rumors that $1,O00,OOO would
be used in the prosecution of the two
McNamaras. The county board of
supervisors set aside a fund of 5000
and it is believed by the district at
torney that this amount will be entire
ly sufficient for the use of the prose-
cution.
The two McNamaras and McMani.
gal will probably be arraigned before
Judge Bordwell Thursday afternoon.
The indictments upon which the men
were arrested were returnable in
Judge Bordwell's court and Presiding
Judge Hutton has shown no inclina-
ton to transfer the cases.

well trying the case upon the ground
that he summoned the special grand
jury which returned the indictments.
Attorney Rappaport, who is the
general counsel for the International
Association of Structural Iron and
Bridge Workers. visited the county
Jail and for two hours conferred with
]. j. and j. B. Mcnamara. He made
no effort to see McManigal anG an
nouneed that he would make no eff
fort to see the alleged informer, and
that neither he nor Mr.. Darrow would
defend McManigal.
Mechanical May Plead Guilty.
The first intimation that McMani-
gal might plead guilty to the charge
against him was given by District At
torney Fredericks. When the district
attorney was asked in what order the
three men would be tried he said that
he could not answer until he knew
how many of the prisoners would
plead guilty. This statement was ia
ken to mean that ]. B. Mcnamara will
be tried first, that ]. ]. Mcnamara
will be given trial second and that Nc
Manigal will plead guilty.
BY this arrangement McManigal will
be in position to give testimony
against both ]. B. Mcnamara and
against j. j. Mcnamara. The district
attorney has definitely decided that he
will try the prisoners upon the grand
jury indictments and at this time he
will not serve either of the McNamaras
with the warrants issued on informa-
ton and belief, and which charge muir

The first legal battle in the case
will occur shortly after the prisoners
are arraigned. At that time it is likely
that the defense will move to quash
the indictment and that an attack will
be made upon the grand jury which
issued the indictments. This fight will
precede the date for pleading.

IOWA SUPREME
COURT DECISIONS.
+++ .!.|T.s. !. .ti j. i. 4. !. .

&. n : - u 7.
The Iowa supreme court yesterday
handed down decision sustaining q
tax levy against railroad property in
Council Bluffs, which is of import
ance to many municipalities through
out the state, in that it will enable
them to collect taxes that have been
persistently contested by the trans
portation companies.
The lower court in the Council
Bluffs case sustained the contentious
of the Dubuque and Sioux City rail
way Ollinois CENTRALLY which brought
the suit and enjoined the collection.
1t was this decision that was re-
versed by the supreme court yester
day. The ruling of the tribunal OF
last resort is sweeping victory for
the city and will enable it to collect
about $4,000 in back taxes.
The tax in question involved out
lying portions of railway property in
Council Bluffs. levied by the city to
cover the expense of fire and water
protection. Three roads in that city
have refused to pay the tax.
The same conditions exist in many
other cities of Iowa, and all will, OF
course, benefit by the decision of the
supreme court.

they had received notice from the

ojinasa Siege Is Raised.
San Antonio, Tex, May 3.-The
siege of Ojinaga has been raised and
the revolutionists have been driven
in disorder toward the town of Mu
lato, according to adyices received
by government officers here. The
siege began month ago, when a
force of revolutionists under com
mand of General Jose de la Cruz
Sanchez surrounded the city, bottling
up the federal garrison of 200 men.
Since then skirmishes have been Of
daily occurrence, dispatches reporting
the. gradual tightening of the insur-
recto lines. Saturday with the ar
rival of reinforcements the rebels be.
gan a vigorous assault and advic2s
late Saturday night from Preside,
directly across the border, were that
the tide of battle apparently was
turning in favor of the besieging army,
According to dispatches the insur-
rectos in their fight left their
dead and munitions of war Or the
field, making their way to Mulato.
1t is believed that they were caught
between relief column of 1000 men
under General Escudore, sent to the
relief Of Ojinaga and the garrison.
Alarmed at Washington.
Washington, May 3-The military
chiefs and other high officials of the
administration are perturbed over the
situation in Mexico. In truth 1t may
be stated that the concern of the
president is as great now as it has
been any time within the last month.
1t was an occasion of alarm to the
war department when it learned that
the insurrectos were indicating to
American residents in Mexico that 1t
would be to their advantage to get out
of the danger zone, in other words to
leave Mexico.
This was construed literally by the
war department as meaning that the
insurrectos had no faith in the peace
protocols or pourparlers which are
going on between representatives of
Madero and DiaZ at Juarez.
The threat of the insurrectos to be-
gin an attack on border towns, If
peace were not declared by Thursday
night was regarded as important con
sidering the source from which the
information came.
Requests have come to the treasury
department from American citizens to
be allowed to send their herds of cat.
tie for safety to American territory.
