PROSECUTION OF
 UNEMPLOYED ARMY
 LEADERS IS BEGUN
Vagrants Between Two Fires In San Francisco.
 Some Plead Guilty

Sacramento, Cal, March 10.-With
 the army of unemployed en route to Washington, D. C.. isolated across the Sacramento river in Yolo county, while Sacramento and Yolo counties settle their dispute as to the formers right to keep it there, the prosecution of leaders was begun late today with the arraignment of 19 men arrested yes terday as vagrants.
 The army occupies a peculiar posi- tion, according to Yolo county officials. With flood water shutting off a march to the south, west or north, they have
 but one direction to take, and that is eastward across the bridges into Sacramento. The army late today voted to march peacefully through the
 city on its way eastward if the policy would permit, but that the Sacramento
 authorities rejected the proposal. Ask Guard Removal
 Yolo county officials asked that Sacramento guards be removed from
 the bridge and the army be allowed to cross. This request also was refused l He OiO OlllcldlS lHcH lnitdttHtu to start legal proceedings to enjoin Sacra-
 mento from guarding the bridges-and there the situation rests. Sacramento deputies again prepared for a night vigil. William A. Hern, former chief of
 police, was put in charge of several hundred who will establish a patrol system.
 At the preliminary hearing Gen.
 James Kelley pleaded not guilty to
 charge of vagrancy before a township justice and demanded jury trial, Ed ward F. Teesdale, John Randolph and John Mclean, his lieutenants, made similar pleas. Their cases will be called before juries Thursday. Plead Not Guilty John Lunch, Michael Murphy and
 Charles Edgar. sub-lieutenants, also
 pleaded not guilty.
 Harris Weinstock. a member of the United States industrial relations com mittee" interviewed Kelley in jail to- day and obtained his views on labor
 condition. He told Kelley a trip to Washington would be futile and Kelley finally admitted the journey would
 avail nothing.

SENATE CONCLUDES. HEARINGS ON STOCK EXCHANGE MEASURE
Untermyer Speaks In Sup. port of Measure-Past
 Record Attacked

Washington, March 1O.-Hearings on the pending stock exchange regulation bill were concluded today by the Sen ate banking and currency committee with Samuel Untermyer, who drew the measure at the conclusion of the re- cent money trust investigation hear ings as the only witness. Mir. Untermyer appeared, armed with a formal brief in support of the bill, but got little chance to read from it. protests of Chairman owen, on probin 2 into the past activities of the witness as an organizer of corporations. He did so, he asserted, to disclose tiie in- consistency of MT. Untermyer's atti- tude in now urging the passage of the measures to declare illegal methods by which he had profited. | MT. Untermyer denied there was anything illegal or improper in the ] transactions cited, so far as he was concerned at least. These cases, he declared, had been used to attack him when the life insurance investigation was in progress in New York and that recently had been exploited in Congress for the same purpose.
 This personal matter cannot be con- sidered pertinent to this bill," Unter- myer insisted. 'It is way to side track, not to meet the issues of the 1 bill"
 Says Testimony Conclusive
 T think if anyone appeared before this committee who had spent his whole life manipulating stocks his testimony would be valuable,' interjected Sen ator Owen. MT. Untermyer has been before us three times and three times he has been diverted from discussion of the bill by these personal matters T l "I recall a time when one of our best witnesses on a pending race track bill was a reformed race track 'tou.,'" sug- gested Senator Nelson.
 1 Senator Hitchcock abandoned his line of questioning after the laugh which | greeted Senator Nelson's remark and
 the senator's explanation that the wit. ness was not to consider 1t as a per- | sonal allusion.
 Senator Weeks objected to the pend ing bill as failing to provide a remedy | for dishonest manipulation of the mar iket

 take a brave man to offer more drastic one.

 migration committee without a decision. The other meeting will be held Thurs 1 day. President Wilson's attitude now is l that while he does not favor literacy test, he would not be disposed to veto a bill for that reason.
 | Senators who favor the test realize, how ever, that great pressure for veto would be brought. The protest of tbe Italian government against American health in spectors on immigrant vessels has been
 considered, but the provision is still in the bill.
