PROSECUTING ATTORNEY SAYS
HE HAS BEEN MAKING THOR
OUCH INVESTIGATION
FOR GIVING AWAY PROPERTY
ACCUSED MEN SAID TO HAVE
MADE PRESENT 70 WABASH
RAILROAD

Detroit, Mich, Aug. g.. Sensational
developments in the local aldermanic
graft scandal occurred today when
Prosecuting Attorney Shepard an.
nounced that before night about 20
aldermen would be arrested on charg-
es Of conspiracy to defraud the city
in connection with their official po-
sitions.
The nine aldermen recently arrest
ed on a similar charge also are in
cluded among the 20 new arrests II
is said more arrests are to be based
on entirely different evidence than
that which led to the arrest Of nine
aldermen and the secretary Of the
common council committees, who
now are at liberty on bail, facing
charges Of receiving and conspiring to
receive bribe money for giving the
Wabash railroad city property for
building purposes The new evidence
is alleged to have been obtained by
the prosecutor investigating the city
administration for years back, The
prosecutor said he has struck many
now instances Of graft but refused "a
say whether the evidence WAS ae.
tanned from confessions BY aldermen
previously arrested.
Fifteen arrests we're made before
noon. Eight Of the aldermen also
face the original bribery charges.
Those newly arrested we're required
to furnish $4,000 bonds and those
formerly taken into custody were re-
leased upon furnishing surety to the
amount Of $4,000.

h shlPs ARE DAMAGED.

Washington, Aug 9.-The battle
ship Nebraska ran on a uncharted
shoal near Newport r i. last night
and was SO seriously damaged that
she has been ordered to dry dock at
the Boston navy yard, The flagship
Connecticut about the same time
broke her starboard crankkahait and
has been ordered to Philadelphia for
repairs.
The navy department Immediately
ordered the Nebraska to the Boston
navy yards for examinations. It is
believed the ship has been seriously
injured and it may be necessary to
put her out Of commission, replacing
her in the fleet with one o. the re-
serve battIeships.
An Investigation will be made to
locate the uncharted shoaI, the exist
ence Of which in waters so crowded
with shipping is a great surprise to
naval officers. The Connecticut's ac-
cident was not serious. 1t resembled
thai ol last wssk b The battlsship
1fississippi. The crankshaft Of the
staTboard engine broke.

STEFFENS had NOTHING
TO DO With THE PLEAS
JUDGE RoRDWELL TEsTlFlEs
REGARDING THE M'NAMARA
TRIAL

Los Angeles, Calf, Aug. 9-Judge
Bordwell, who presided at the trial
Of James B. Mcnamara, was called
today as witness for the state in
the bribery trial Of Clarence S. Dar-
row, to impeach the testimony Of Lin
coin Steffens, the magazine writer.
Steffens had testified that he had in
formed Judge Bordwell Of the negotia-
tions for the compromise pleas in
the Mcnamara case Considerable
feeling was aroused at the time Of
the denouement in that case by the
denunciation Of Steffens by the judge,
who asserted that the writer had no
thing to do with the bringing about
the compromise.
Judge Bordwell flatly denied on. the
stand that Steffens had ever discuss
ed with him the matter Of the pleas,
prior to the pleading Of the McNa-
mara brothers. With but three wit
nesses remaining, the prosecution in
the bribery trial Of Clarence S. Dar-
row expected to conclude its case iil
'rebuttal today It was generally ex-
pected that the prosecution would
make another attempt to introduce in
to evidence the transcript Of alleged
discriminating conversations between
Darrow and John r. Harrington
The trial is now in it's thirteenth
week ana both sides apparently are
eager to conclude. With two days
given the defense for sub.rebuttal,
however, 1t Is not likely that the
case can go to the jury before the
week after next, as the defense has
indicated It would use three days
in final arguments.
According to Judge BordwelI, Stef-
tents attempted to discuss the matter
with him upon one occasion, but he
had stopped the writer with the adj
monition that he could not talk about
the trial.
TIE asked me II he could come
back and talk about it and told him
no." concluded the Judge
on cross examination the illrist-
witness corroborated the Testimony
Of Steffens that the latter had shown
him an article published IL local
newspaper. prior to its publication, tc
which he had suggested alterations

der Indictment for the murder Of
Gambler Herman Rosenthal might
turn states evidence
District Attorney Whitman confer
red with John f. Mcintyre, counsel
for the accused lieutenant but said
no terms for confession were dis
cussed. Mr. Whitman said:
Il have hopes that Becker who is
shrewd man, may decide that his
best interests will require him to tell
the whole truth. If he should do
that would have to think over pret-
ty carefully what my attitude should
be.
eWhile murder is a graver crime
than blackmail, It might be that |
would decide, in the event Of q con-
fession, to ask some cIemency for
Becker one Of the greatest accom-
plishuenta for the good of the conf
munity would be to find out who
are the bIaclzmaiiers IN the police dc.
partment and to abolish forever that
treaoherous and wicked system"
Mr.. Mcintyre expects to be out Of
town until next Wednesday when he
will return and talk over matters
with his client. The grand jury is
said to have learned many things to
show that Lieutenant Becker has
made money very rapidly within the
last few months In one savings
bank Becker was found to have 3d.
900 on deposit while the prosecutor
has been told of other savings bank
accounts which will be investigated
"Bald Jack Rose, in his confess
sion, says that Becker told him that
be cleaned up $4,000 in four months.
! Within few days the grand jury will
hand down about six additional in
dictments. The indictments will be
drawn against Louis Rosenweig,

Frank Cirofici. and probably Jack Sui

against police officials for grating
will be done later.
Lieutenant Becker made brief
statement in his cell denying the
truth Of reports that he contemplated
making confession
4 would like it to be understood,
once and for all" said Becker, that

the simple reason that have nothing
to confess. That will be proved very
clearly when have my day in court.

will be no letuplin securing further
pledges of the crop. Under the ar

In this connection it is well to say
that the desired fifty per cent. OF
the crop raised in this county has not
been secured, but from the renewed
interest of the growers in short
time this viii be done.
We are glad to note that the sales
room will be established here and
that two experienced tobacco men
have been elected as warehousemen,
