' TRIAL CTCHED WIIhClERV ir McNamara's Inveslig-to Appear and Face Charge Today. SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS Three Were Arrested and Will Appear to Answer Charges Today $4,000 is Thought to be Involved.' Many Bank Notes Los Angeles, Nov. 28. The ugly smirch of suspected bribery , was trailed today across the trail of James n. McNamawT for the alleged murder cf Charles Haggerty, one of 21 vie tuns of the Los Angeles Times disas ter. v . . Tonight a pleased prosecution and a dumbfounded defense took stock of the day's work 'of Samuel L., Brown; chief investigator of the State, who arrested three men and stacked Dis trict Attorney Fredericks idesk high with bank notes taken from the ar rested men's pockets in Frederick's presence. Bert H. Franklin, former deputy United States marshal, now employed by the McNamara defense as an inves tigator, released late today on $10 000 -cash bail, is to appear in court to morrow to answer charges of bribery and attempted bribery sworn to by Brown. George H. Lockwood," a summoned venireman, and C E. (Cap) White, an alleged stockholder, both arrested with Franklin, are at liberty, and, ac cording to District 'Attorney Freder; icks, they will appear as" witnesses against Franklin. v .

This ' Is not necessary so far as Franklin is concerned, because ni case can be taken care of through an information filed by the District At torney. Investigator Brown said that no .more arrests would be maae to night. There was nothing commonplace about the arrest of Franklin. It. was no hotel room, or saloon scene, famil iar to followers of exposes. A former deputy United States marshall ac quainted with criminal metnoas ana the methods devised to catch crimi nals through his former employment, vas arrested on a 'street corner in the heart of Los Angeles' wholesale quar ter in broad daylight, while a detec tive, disguised as a laborer, stood tlose enough to hear what was said. Detective Brown, sheltered by a building, was close enough with his assistants to catch the three men be fore two of them could take their hands out of their pockets', after, it is alleged, they had stuffed the money x into them. -: So, hands in pockets, the men were marched to the hall of records, where the McNamara trial is staged on the fourth floor. District Attorney Freder icks waited 'for them on the 11th floor. Hands in pockets, they entered the office. When the hands came out, "Brown declares, the yellow bills clung to tTi1r flnAVa.' , 1 Twenty minutes .later Lockwood, " the venireman, and White, supposed stakeholder, went out of the swining doors free men, hardly enough timo having elapsed to allow the dictation anil Rimine of a . statement, if this were done. Announcement that they n. ninst Franklin as SSto t ltnQaoQ followed "them out Franklin, unperturbed, remarked that the State would find that it was inifttaVeTi nnrt had no Case. . OnAstinnen as to the legal status of Lockwood arose as soon as the re port of the arrest gained circulation. He had not been reached by ajiy ve nire subpoena.

Washington, Nov. 28. Wharton Barker, a retired banker of Philadel phia, sprung a sensation on-the 'Sen ate Committee on Interstate Com merce -when he alleged that a New York financier told him ln 1904 that the financial interests would support Theodore Roosevelt for President be cause the latter had "made ' a bar gain" with them "on the railroad ques tion." x Mr. Barker's statement came in the midsfc of a vigorous attack on ' the "money, trust" in which he alleged al so that President Roosevelt had been given the details ot the impending panic of. 1907 several months before it happened, but took no action to pre vent it. He declared that the Aldrlch currency plan was the - handiwork,, not of former Senator Aldrich, but of a Mr. Warburg, of the banking firm of Kuhn, Loeb & Company, of New York, and that a fund of 11,000,000 had been started to insure its adoption. - "Three or four "weeks before the election of 1904.!'. said Mr. Barker.; "I was walking, down. Broadway when I met one of the most ' distinguished money kings in New York, a man now dead. He eaid to me: 'We aref going to elect Hposevelt., I expressed Bur prise and asked if he had given up the support of Parker, .'He said yes; that they. had frightened Roosevelt so he had made a bargain with ..them." . Mr. 'Barker said : the financial giant, whom .he declined to name, told him that Roosevelt had "made a bargain da the HUroad'-QuestlonV . v , Mr,.' Barker eontfnued: -T "Ue . ia tou, 'holles. all he -wants to' be told me, .. , but,byand by a railroad bill will be brought :in by recommendation of the' President, cutting off rebates and free passes, which sits us, who own the railroads, permitting the railroads to make poolingr arrangements and pro viding for maximum, rates'." The railroad man added, said Mr. Barker, that under the latter authority it would be possible to add from $300, 00.0,000 to 1400,000,000 to the total freight charges paid. by the-American public. ' - "I told him I didn't believe Roose velt had made any such agreement," said Mr. Barker, "but when the annu al message of 1905 went to Congress he recommended most of those things. I wrote to President Roosevelt and told him what I heard and that I had thought the man lied, but now I must believe he had not It was the only letter of mine Mr. Roosevelt ever fail ed to answer.". . Members of the committee asked Mr. Barker to give the name of the. financial man who . had told him1 that Roosevelt was to be elected. v "I cannot do it," said Mr. Barker, . , "but subsequently somebody was, al leged, to have stolen some correspon-: dence between' Mr. Harriman and the , President, .telling . pf ' $250,000 put up, for election expenses in', the city of New " York," ' Referring to the panic of 1907, Mr.' Barker said a man who was present.' at a conference , at J. P. Morgan's ;' house in May, came to him in Phy.a- ' ( delphla and wanted him to use his In fluence with President Roosevelt '.to stop a , plan that had been ; mapped . out, he alleged, by the financial lead ers. The man was a captain in the Roueh Riders, he said, and had used his own influence with the President, but without avail. . , The plan." said Mr. Barker, "con-. temnlated the curtailment of loans. the withdrawal of credits, the putting away of money by those interested where they could get It when they " needed it to stop the , panic, and the enforcement of the various State laws regarding the holding of cash re serves by the banks and trust corapa-' nles.". . . Mr. . Barker ; said that . In October. when the financial .upheaval reached its crisis,, he urged President Roose-, , veltt to. distribute the. $145,000,000 of ' cash on -hand in th6 treasury among the banks of Chicago, f nuaaeipnia. Boston and other large citiea. A "He wanted to do it." he said, "but he Qalled ihMr,;Kn6x,ahdJMr..Cortel-; , you andMr. Ropt and instead of de- ' Dositing in the outside cities, ne piung- c.d the whole amount into Wall street It, broke the. country, but it saved, the gamblers." ' ' ' ' ' Mr. Barker., whose banking nouse at one time was fiscal agent fox the Russian governmeht, declared, that the "great money oligarchy" of New Yoric controlled, all lines or nnance, . Industry and transportation and that no legislation designed to break up the trusts would strike at the root of the trouble. ' J' .' "Few people appreciate," he said, "how, by control of . the money of trust companies;" savings banks and National and State banks this money trust has throttled Individual enter prise". . r"r " t . . i Mr. Barker urged a central bank of the United States to be 'controlled 'by directors ' chosen: from arbitrary dis- fricts covering the - whole - country.- i I1 -Alt 41 I i (it 1 1 r . n. iUK eonaiuon.
