ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPArCHI

WASHINGTON. May 28.-A com promise tariff plan, designed to grad uate the reduction Of duties and de- signed to avoid any American indus try was offered today in the senate by Mir Newlands of Nevada as an amendment to the house steel bill

 AGAINST WILSON
Incomplete But Late Re turns from Every District in State Indicate That Wilson Won His Baili- wick.

NEWARK. N. J. May 2S.-Returns from Newark and Cape May counties in almost opposite extremes of the state and a few districts which had finished the count at a late hour gave Roosevelt a slight lead on the repub- lican site while the democratic strug gle seemed evenly balanced. Early re- turns from Cape May indicated ma jority ot 500 for Roosevelt over Taft
 At the same time the secretary of the Taft Business Mems league, notified the Taft bureau at Washington that the president had carried Newark by safe ma iority He based his claim on the first of the eighteen Newark dis tricts to report which gave on the pres idential preference vote, S12 for Taft and 466 for Roosevelt.
 The first returns from the southern part Of the state gave the Wilson del egates a vote of nearly 10 to one over the uniEstructed delegates running against him. Essex, the stronghold of the Wilson opposition was first of thirty districts to report that gave the uninstructed delegates a vote of 1,444 to 726 for Wilson.

Roosevelt's Managers Will Try to Force New National Committeeman Into Organization Ere maturely.

WASHINGTON, May 28.-Rumors that attempts are to be made to seat the new national committeeman so that they can serve on the repub- Hc1n national committee when it be- gins the hearing of the contest cases at Chicago on June 6, stirred the political leaders here more than any recent move in the presidential cam paign. In several states where the Roosevelt victory was pronounced, the delegates were instructed to elect new national committeeman, and it is said that some of these delegates plan to meet soon and elect new com mitteemen, and demand that they be given seats immediately on the na- tional committee so as to take port in the hearing of contests
 If such q movement should be started it will be directed against such members of the committee as Senator Penrose, of Pennsylvania; Senator Crane, of Massachusetts; F. O. Lowden, of Illinois; A. L Vorys. of Ohio; E. C. Duncan, of North Carolina, all of whom are friendly to Taft
 The rules of the national committee and the procedure of former conven- tions are opposed to such action. It
 is claimed by the Taft men here that the delegates of any state have no authority to elect national commit teemen until their credentials are passed upon by the credentials com mittee and the national committee.

Detective Franklin Relates on the Stand the Attcr- ney's Part in Corrup-

FIRST SUGGESTED
 BY THE DEPENDANT
Witness Claims to Have Re ceived Money from Both Darrow and Associate
 Counsel Hartman
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATCH1

LOS ANGELES. May. 28.-Franklin, former chief detective in the McNa- mara caao now the star witness for the prosecution in the trial of Clarence Darrow for alleged jury bribery, on the stand, late today related what he de clared was the manner in which Oar row and himself had worked to bribe jurors in the trial of J B. McNamara.
 "Abour the time to get busy with the jury" Franklin quoted Darrow as say ing was, october ,, 1911 The next day Franklin said Darrow gave him a check for $10O0 to buy the vote of Juror Robert NJ. Bain, who later was the first sworn juror in the trial The witness said he had known Bain for 20 years and had arranged for the cor ruption of that juror.
 Franklin followed Lockwood on the witness stand. A gruelling cross ex- animation by Chief Counsel Earl ROg- CTS for the defense, failed to shake the witness original story It was brought out. however, that he accentuated cer- tain facts, which the defense claimed would go far toward establishing an alleged conspiracy to involve DarrOw in the bribery negotiations between LockwocG and Franklin and it was de- clared bH the defense that they were directed by the district attorney.
 Lockwood admitted on cross exam ination that he had never been served as juror in the McNamara case, all though he had been told by Franklin that his name had been drawn after he consulted the district attorney
 Franklin on the stand said Darrow wanted him to investigate the pros pective jurors view regarding the Times explosion and union labor The witness 1verred that Darrow told him to use his own judgment in the inter- views. Franklin said that Darrow usu- ally paid him, but several times he re- ceived cnecks from Job Hartman.
 Franklin said he discussed the ques- tion with Darrow as to jury bribing on
 October ,, six days before the McNa- mara trial opened.
 Franklin then told by taking the check for $1OOO to the bank deposting it in his own name. After drawing a check for $500 against the deposit he said he went to Bain's house. There was no one at home and later he made another call
 The defense raised an objection, con- tending that before the alleged bribery of Bain could be shown. the state should be compelled to prove the al- legged bribery of Lockwood an offense complained of in the indictment Oi Darrow. After a half hour of arguing Judge Hutton ruled against the con- tentiOn Ot the defense.
 Franklin then told of his second wis it to the Bain home and found Mrs Bain Mrs Bain said Bob was ar honest man." continued the witness and there would be some trouble ir getting him to agree to the proposition but she thought he would do it."

O|L LANDS GRAB
 OF SOUTHERN PACIFIC Attorney General Wickersham Says That Startling Disclosures
 May Be Expected.
ASSOCIATED PRESS D1spATcHl

WASHINGTON. May 28-Attorney- General Wickersham in d statement today declared that the governments suit against the Southern Pacific for the recovery of valuable oil lands in southern California has developed sensational and startling disclosures"
 The testimony of the witnesses sub poenaed by the government, he says. presents a remarkable picture of criminal conspiracy among high of ticials of the Southern Pacific to ac- quire from the United States under an agriculture grant, oil lands valued at fifteen million dollars"
 The statement was issued after a conference between the attorney gen eral and Willis N. Mills, special assist ant in charge of the case, concerning recent developments in the suit The proceedings were instituted at the di- rection of Wickersham in December 1910 to set aside the patents and revert to the government title to 5000 acres of valuable lands in the Elk Hin coun- try in the McKittrick oil district of Kern county. California.
 The lands are within the indemnity lists in the grant of July 27. 1866 to the Southern Pacific in aid in the con struction of the road The original grant the statement says, excluded all mineral lands. the intention of con- gress being to grant agricultural lands, reserving mineral lands to the United States for all time
 The government lawyers are cOnfi- dent that the disclosure twill result in the restoration to the public domain of a vast tract of the most valuable oil lands in the state of California.
