Los Angeles, Dec, 5.-A sensation
was caused here when scores of for

reason.
1t was said later that the prosecu-
ton had learned that nearly every
man in the jury box had been ap-
preached with reference to his verdict
in the case. 1t was asserted that
proceedings in the Franklin case
would reveal, however, that at least
two Jurors besides Balm and Lock
wood indirectly accepted brides.
Attorney barrow of the defense was
at his ONCE as usual. Asked further
as to the knowledge Of bis plans
which labor leaders are alleged 10

come here, Edward N. Nockels, secre
tary Of the Chicago Federation OF
Labor. was the only one who came.

times about the situation.

Probate Judges viii Ask Extensive
Amendments to Present Statutes,
to Improve Matings.

Topeka, Dec. 5.-The probate Judges
Of Kansas are going to ask for an ex-
tensive amendment to the marriage
laws to try to prevent the marriages
Of the unfit. All the probate judges
are behind the law and Judge Sims
Of Wyandotte county will draw 1t.
1t will be necessary for the man
and woman who wish to marry to
sign "a declaration of inteptions" and
file it with the probate Judge, also
publish 1t in the ofiicial county paper
two weeks before the wedding takes
place. Parents will have a chance
Of knowing whether their sons and
daughters are planning wedding with
out their consent.
If, after the notice is published,
anyone has any reason why the couple
should not marry he will have the
right to file an objection with the
probate Judge and upon an investiga-
ton the Judge may refuse the couple
the right to marry.
