(Hi the resumption of the Federal In quiry It became evident that the Gov ernment Is to enlarge the scope of Its Inquiry and search into allegations that a fond for bribing Jurors was pro vided by some source. It appears that the dynamite Investigation by the local Federal grand Jury will be finished In 1 days more and that the Inquiry will be tranoferred to Indianapolis. Ma!colm Mcl-aren. Ciilef detective of the Burns force here, said today that the attention of the local Jurors would be centered on the dynamite matter only long enough to have California witnesses testify, and that the Investi gation of the conspiracy would be fin ished at Indianapolis.

In the grand Jury In vestigation, gave color t the report that the grand Jurv was taking tip the allegation that McNa nara's friends had a big corruption fund with which to brtba Jurors. Thta presumption Is strengthened by ths-fact that subpenas have been served on detectives attached to the District Attorneys office who also are witnesses against Franklin.

What la termed the "labor end" of the case la looming big and the where abouts of O. A. Tvellmoe. president of the San Francisco Labor Council, and Anton Johannsen. another labor leader, are still a mystery to the Government's subpena servers. At Trochee. Just west of where) the Southern Pacific system crosses the 11ns and enters California, a United States Deputy Marshal armed with Federal subpenas Is waiting the arrival of Tveltmoe, secretary-treasurer of the California State Building Tradea Coun cil, and Anton Johannsen, organlxer for ths council. These two, with Eugene A. Clancy, deposed member of the ex ecutive committee of the Structural Iron Workers' Union, are the most Im portant witnesses summoned from among the labor leaders on ths Pacific Coast. It was reported tonight that every port In the United States Is being watched closely for men whose names have not yet appeared In the Investiga tion, but who might think It advisable to get out of'reach of the Federal au thorities. The last heard of Tveltmoe was December J. when a telegram was received In San Francisco cautioning union leaders there not to be stam peded Into Inadvisable remarks. It wss re posted today about the Fed eral building that another message had been received since then, practically defying the authorities. Preside w Order Effective. It was given out here todsy that upon the presentation to President Taft of the difficulties encountered by the prosecuting authorities, owing to con flict of state laws, a Federal Investiga tion of the McNamara cases wss start ed. Upon President Taft's visit hers In August Oscar Lawler. then an asso ciate of District Attorney John D. Fredericks, laid before the President the strong case built up by the prose cution and within hours an order for Federal action had gone out. The effect here aa far as the state was concerned was Immediate, District Attorney Fredericks was elated. Many witnesses who had been persuaded by friends of the defense not to come here to testify came over to the side of the state. As ths hand of the Federal Government was disclosed, another cir cumstsnce was added to the rapidly growing pile that forced a surrender from the McNamaras, The defense's at torneys admit today that they felt ths effect of the Government's hand, and with the transfer of evidence In In dianapolis previously tied up they saw the beginning of the Government's dragnet assisting the state.

GUARD HITS RINGLEADER While llcturnlnp From Quarry Men Start Evolutions Intended to Bo wilder Prison Officers In jured Man in Hospital. SAN FRANCISCO. Dec 13. (Special.) -What promised to be a serious upris ing of mors than 1000 convicts at Fol som prison late this afternoon was ab ruptly averted when Manuel Silvers, a guard In one of the watch towers, shot the ringleader of the attempted break, and other guards covered the remaining prisoners with rifles until they could be secured. Shortly after 4.10 . o'clock the men were being marched up from the stone quarry on the banks of the American River. They were marching In single file when one of them, following the example of the leaders of the last un successful break of 1904, began to Jump from side to side. The other convicts, yelling and screaming, followed his ex ample. The guards called out In warn ing. Sllvera fired, hitting the leader In the leg. The men then subsided. The wounded man was taken to the prison hospital and the other prison ers, under the guns of the guards, were taken to their cells. This Is the third break attempted by the Inmates since July, 1803, when 13 desperate men headed by "Red Shirt" Gordon, escaped to the hills and gave battle to posses and the mllltla before they were recaptured.
