NANKING FALLS
BEFORE REBELS
Capture Follows Most Des
perate Battle of the Revo
lution. MANCHUS TAKE 2 TOWNS
Administer Crushing Defeat to In
mirgouts Near Hankow Foreigners
Rarrlcado Conccwwlon and Prepare
for Battle Tliat la Utterly Hopeless.
Shanghai, Nov. 28. The rebels
rushed the Nanking fortifications and
captured them after the hardest
fought battle of the revolution.
Seven hundred Imperialists and five
hundred rebels were killed In the last
runh. More than thirty thousand reb
els took part In the last assault.
Fearing annihilation, the imperial
ists stood by their guns until they
were overpowered. The casualties for
the Inst week are not less than 3000.
Dispatches Indicate that the rebels
met a crushing defeat at Wu Chang.
Just below Hankow and it Is believed
the Imperialists again hold Hankow.
Han Yang was raptured by the
Imperialists, which Is very near Wu
Chang.
Foreigners, fearful of the critical
situation, have barricaded the streets
loading to '.ho'r concessions and have
mounted Maxim guns for a desperate
resistance if the threatened anti-foreign
uprising occurs. They would
not have much chance If an attack
' should be made.
PENDLETON FREIGHT
RATES NOT REDUCED
A'unough the Interstate Commis
sion Inst Friday ordered a twenty per
. cent reduction of all inter-state class
rates from Portland, Seattle and Ta
coma to lolnts In Oregon, Washing
ton, Idaho and Montana, this order
will probably not secure any lower
rates on freight to this city from Tort
land for the reason that the existing
local tnriffs are as low or lower than
those ordered Into effect on January
2.
The local freight office has as yet
received no communication from the
company offlcluls regarding the de
cision but no reduction is anticipated
and thus the cost of living will In all
probability remain tho same, Insofar
us nffected by freight tariffs.
The commission ordered the class
rates reduced In distances between
200 and 300 miles as follows:
1 cla-ss 2 clas 3 clnss 4 class G class
91 77 64 55 46
The present local tariffs on the
Bnme class of commodities are as fol
lows: 1 claw 2 class 3 class 4 class 6 class

"Vampire" as the keynote of his case

At the climax he shouted, "She
murdered Charlie Patterson's body,

Lqs Angeles, Nov. 28. Detective
Bro.wn, chief of detectives of the dis
trict attorney's office, today arrested
Bert Franklin, a former deputy Unit
ed States marshal and chief Investi
gator for the McNamara defense and
charged him with attempting to
bribe G. N. Lockwood, a prospective
juror, to hang the McNamara Jury.
Brown stated that he and two oth
er detectives saw Franklin pay $500
to Lockwood on the street this morn
ing. He had been watching them for
some time.
Brown said he was cognizant that
an attempt had been made to inter
fere with talesmen.
He said that when the actual truth
is known, a sensation that will par
allel the original arrests of the Mc
Namara brothers will be sprung.
It was hinted by some persons
concerned that veniremen have been
"planted" in connection with this case
and the district attorney's office will
try to prove that this was done by
persons near to the McNamara de
fense. Brown said that the $500 was paid
as earnest money on a $4000 bribe to
hang the jury.
Arrets of the "higher ups" are im-
pending. Franklin was only a go-between,
it is said.

appeared some time yesterday, leav
ing a two months' old babe in the

two unfinished letters, one beginning

lieve that the woman Intended to

nations. He said he could trace all of them,
from the time they were first paid

showing Just how they came Into
Franklin's possession. He said that
Franklin would be prosecuted.

wood and White have made complete

fense attorneys are not implicated.

tively that the only connection Frank

gator of prospective Jurors, which
they considered legitimate.

have been taken from him. He will
be arraigned on a charge of attempt
ing to bribe a public officer, before
a committing magistrate and under
the law he must be given a complete
hearing within six days if he fights
