the trial of Clarence S. Darrow, for
alleged jury bribery.

to Assistant District Attorney Ford for

bribery. Franklin said he had visited

iected to the injection of the Merchants
and Manufacturers association into the
case He declared the organiZat ton had
nothing to do with the prosecution of
Darrow or the testimony of the wit

The new line of attack on Franklin
by the defense was construed to show
that Franklin had close relations with
those who were said to be most deeply
interested in the prosecution of the &C.
Namara brothers. Rogers referred to
the half dozen men present at the as
scciation offices on the occasion of
Franklin's first visit, the strike

nothing of any strike committee and

M'CANLES ARRESTED.
Tar Party Prosecutor Held on Charge
of AssauIting Girl.

SaIina. Kan, June 6.-W. w. Nc
Canles, formerly county attorney of
Lincoln &C unity, was arrested on a war
rant ISSUE d by F. H. Durham, appoint
ed to succeed McCanles as county at
torney There were two charges, one
of assault and one of attempted assault
on Ivy Jameson, a 16-year-old girl
living with J. ]. McCurdy's family
relatives of McCanleS. The prelimi-
nary he;sring has been set for June 1 3
and borG was placed at $1,000.
Mr.. McCanles resigned as county
attorney when the rumors about him
and tha Jameson girl reached his ears.
He denied the truth of the rumors but
stated that it was useless to attempt
to contIl ue as county attorney with
the sentiment against him, as it was.
He was a candidate for the Democratic
non1ina ton for congress in the Sixth
district and had good prospects of be-
ing non,i"ated. He withdrew as can
didate.
His story was that he was the best
friend the Jameson girl had ever had
that he and Mrs. McCanles had be-
friended her and had found a home
for her with the McCurdys when she
became dissatisfied with the place she
was living. Ivy Jameson went to Lin
coin froIu Kansas City to find a home.

Washington, D. c., June 6.-With
four American battleships steaming to-

Altogether, the battleships. Minneso-

These ships should arrive at Guam

which already had landed $50 men, un-
der Colonel Lucas, has about $50 more
on board. The four battleships of the
third division of the Atlantic fleet still

terhaus, on the flagship, Washington.
have nearly 1000 marines which could
be moved to Cuba in little more than
q day. Roughly, this places the num-
ber of marines Immediately available
at about 1900 and the reserve force at
Key West at 1000.
The combined forces of bluejackers
or all the ships which however, would
only be landed in the most pressing
emergency, easily would swell the to-
tai American force available to more
than $500 men. AS President Gomez
indicated in a statement last night the
assumption by the American marines
of responsibility for the safety of the
foreign properties in Oriente will re-

they were generally alone in that be-

an extremely clever move, as it en-

web of circumstantial evidence which
had been bound about her, while at
the same time 1t prevented her cross
examination by the prosecution.
The defense also scored sweeping
victory when Judge Roam ruled that
