MONEY QUESTION PUT
TO McNAMARA JURORS
Arrest of Alleged Briber Puts
Prosecution On
Guard
Trial Proer Is Now Overshadowed by
Now Feature and More Arrests Will
Follow.
Los Angeles, Cal., Nov. 29. Judge
Bordwell today allowed the state's
challenge against Edward Haskell, a
venireman In the McNamara trial
who was challenged after Indignantly
denying that he ever had been of
fered money to qualify as a Juror.
Clarence Darrow stated that examina
tion along these lines, la. in his opin
ion, improper and denies that he
could not object to the money ques
tion, because It might Jeopardize the
case.
Franklin's arrest has completely
overshadowed the rest of the trial. He
will be arraigned this afternoon. Lat
er a grand Jury will be asked for,
as District Attorney Fredericks says
the ramification of the Investigation
includes other persons In the Lock
wood affair.
Franklin is out on $10,000 ball,
which wan furnished by the McNa
mara defense, who declare that any
attempt to say they had to bail him
out are false rumors.
It Is benerally believed that Fred
ericks Is after some Pacific coast labor
agents.
The reason Fredericks rants a
grandjury Is because It would be
awkward to arrest those whom he
says are implicated and a lury can
return secret Indictments And then
have them held under he court's
seal until such time as 'public Inter
est" makes it necessary to serve the
warranty
Explaining why he and Clarence
Darrow drew money . to ball out
Franklin, Attorney Le Compte Davis
of the defence, said:
"Mrs. Franklin asked me to go to
see her husband and I went. I asked
him what there was In the charge
against him. He told me on his word
of honor that there was nothing Why
then should I not do what I cpuld for
him "
Fredericks made it plain that he
will guard the Identity of everyone
suspected until later.
When Franklin appeared before
Jus' ice Toung this afternoon for a
preliminary examination. It was an
nounced tiiat former Governor Gage
would defend him. Gage's selection
Indicates that more than an ordinary
case of alleged bribery Is suspected.
Both White and Loekwood have
been ordered not to talk and Franklin
adopts the attitude of declining to
talk other than asserting his Inno
cence. One report was that as a result of
the coming of a grand Jury Invest'ga
tlon. the destruction of the Times
might be reopened and men not here
tofore mentioned might be summoned

MADE
Ranchers Meet at Pilot
Rock and Adopt Set of
Resolutions.
FAVOR JOHN DAY PROJECT
Declare Annual How of Water In
Umatilla IE Ivor and Tributaries Is
Not Sufficient for Iteclaniatloii of
Proo.sod Western Extension.
Today another long resolution pro
testing agains the diversion of the
wuters of the Umatilla river for the
proposed extension and recommend
ing the construction of the John Day
project is en route to the president of
the United States as a result of the
meeting at Pilot Rock yesterday of
the water users along Birch and Mc
Kay creeks. The resolution cites
many reasons why the government
should not undertake the west exten
sion and makes explanation in detail.
The meeting was well attended by
the Birch and McKay creek settlers,
and many of the men who were prom
inent in a similar meeting held last
week at Stanfield were also present
and lent their voices to the discus
sion preceding the passing of the res
olution. Briefly, the reasons stated for op
position to the extension of the Uma
tilla project are as follows:
1. The annual discharge of the
Umatilla river and its tributaries is
not sufficient for the reclamation of
the lands under the proposed exten
sion without depriving lands now un
der cultivation in Umatilla county of
water.
2. The application .of the waters
of the Umatilla to this so-called "west
extension" will put an end to all de
velopment In Umatilla county of land
under no ditch system at the present
time.
3. The "west extension" Is a men
ace to the fair adjudication .of the
Umat'lla system.
4. The proposed extension would
result In disaster to all concerned, for
the reason that It Ignores the rights
of the Indians on the Umatilla reser
vation. 5. Th. cost of reclaiming land
under the proposed extension is too
high for successful colonization
6. The project known as the John
Da Project can be constructed at an
estimated cost of $40 an acre and
avoids every objection urged against
the west extension.
7. Many official, political, corpor
ation and public Influences have been
brought to bear upon the United
States rectaniat:on service, the de
partment of the interior and the pres
ident of the United States In favor of
the west Umatilla extension through
wha has erroneously been made to ap
pear as a patriotic interest in having
Oregon secure something that has
been unjustly denied to her, and In
most Instates these persons and in
fluences hnv not been informed as to
the real merits of the proposition, or
have been misinformed by prejudiced
persons or private Interests owning
land under the proposed west exten
sion; whereas, on tho contrary, the
construction of this extension will not
only interfere with the development
of Umatilla county In the manner re
ferred t0 above but will also Interfere
with tho ultimate reclamation of the
grent body of land in Morrow and
Gilliam counties which must be Irri
gated with water diverted from the
John Day river.
Pacific Fleet Arrives.
Honolulu, Nov. 29. The raclfic
cruiser fleet, which sailed from San

FOR LAWLESS TRUSTS
Washington, Nov. 29. Gary, chair
man of tho directors of the steal trust
took the stand today before tho sen
ate committee on commerce and told
the committee what Is needed. In fair,
honest and healthy competition. He
said unrestricted competition ulti
mately results In monopoly and sug
gested remedies for trust evils, among
them being publicity to corporation
affairs and eliminating over-capltal-Ization.
He also suggested the forcing of In
terstate commerce, taking out federal
I'censes and the creation of corpora
tion rade commission, with power to
suspend or revoke licenses when a
corporation 4s not do'ng right.
Ho declared corporations were ben
eficial to the people, as they give mills
a chance to manufacture one article
more economically, Instead of having
one mill make several things.

"The assessment of 1901 was made

"There Is a movement on foot at
Salem to take railroads and all public
service property away from the coun
ties and give them to the state as an
exclusive subject of state taxation.
"If this succeeds, Umatilla county
will lose more than one-fourth of her
taxable property. This loss fould ex

city real estate. t
"I have seen this movement com

cial has been elected and re-elected
for several terms to the same office,
his word comes to be accepted outside
his coun'y as the voice of his constit

have fought off the attempt to take
publ'c service property away from the
counties as best I could and will con
tinue to do so as long as the people
of this county retain me as assessor.
"I mention this here at this time
because some tax legislation Is in
