ANGKLKS, Cul, March 1.
Franklin, who pleaded guilty
to oorvuptly infhieuoiug Juror Robert
F. Main in the MeN'mnam trial, today
was fined $1.0(10 hy Superior Judge
CabmiLss. sitting for Judge Willis, in
tho superior court here.
The amount of Franklin'.s fine was
exactly the sum taken from hjm at
the time of his arrest, while talking
in tlie street with Prospective Juror
George X. Lockwood.
Assistant District Attorney Ford,
who lias had charge of this money,
turned it over to Franklin, who paid
his fine.
The probable result of the Franklin
plea and fine on the case of Clarence
Harrow, who must stand trial under
a bribery chnrge was discussed freely
hv Harrow sympathizers and othors,
following today's procedure in court.
It was tho general opinion tlmt the
Harrow defense will jnako much of
the train of incidents in the Franklin
case in the contention it undoubtedly
will make that tho Franklin affair
was a "plant."

nomination and emphatic denial of
charges that broken health has im
paired his availability s n candidate,
are made today hy the Wis-coiisiu
senator in a signed editorial in La

"I take this means of answering

''I shall continue as n candidate

legislation which will break the hold
of privilege on tho industrial life, of

burden imposed by fictitious capitali
zation. In twenty years of fighting
for tho progressive cause I have nev
er halted or turned aside to find nn
easy way. 1 have steadfastly refused
to make combinations in anv wav in

SPEEO RECORD FOR
LEAP YEAR WEDDINGS
Legation Compounds Barricaded
Anarchy Spreading Threurwut
Country.
PEKIN, March 1 Acting ou direct
orders from President Yuan Shi Ivai,
a force of loynl troops today fired
into a mob as it was moving toward
the buildings of the foreign legations.
Although many rioters were killed,
the mob dispersed, only to re-form in
another section of the city. Further
chinhes between the mutineers and
loyal troops are certain to follow.
To IK-fciul Legation.
The situation is so serious that tho
legation compounds have been barri
caded and the various of fieials' arc
meeting to plan for defense.
President Yuan, it is believed, will
bo able to control the situation as
long as a mnjority of the troons re
main I&YoI,JmkuM3eimd4hntJhe
success of the mutineers will effect
the loyal soldiers.
Killing, burning nnd wounding
thousands of disgruntled soldiers
hold sway today in Pekin, the gov
ernment being powerless in their ef
forts to cheek tlie atrocities. Scores
of fires are raginjr in tho northwest
section of tho city, hundreds of per
sons have been killed or wounded and
thousands of homes looted. Efforts
to stop the spread of the flames by
dynamite havo failed and It is feared
that the entiro northern section of
the city is doomed.
Resiliences Looted.
Tonight residences throughout tlu
city are being looted and the resi
dents who protest slain. It is report
ed that the soldiers are pledged to
continue the disorder for three das
as a protest apiinst the failure of
their leaders to secure better conditions.
TIEN TSIN, March 1.A portion of
the Fen Tni native troops revolted
when they heard of the Peking riot
ing and attempted to kill their offi
cers. The loval nortion of tho nnm.
mand quelled the outbreak.
Foreign residents of Feng Tni took
refuge in tho British legation, where
British infantry wero on guard. Tho
Peking mutineers hnve out tho lino
between the capital and Tien Tsin at
several places.
