McNamata Tnal Drags Along\ By Associated Press. Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 7.—When Judge Anderson, of the United States district court, was advised today that the federal grand jury had been de nied access to certain books of the In- ♦•^rnational Association of Bridge and I'uctural Iron Workers, he ordered the United States marshal to go to a trust company where the books were deposited and take possession of them. Los Angeles, Cal., Nov. 7.—Plenty of trouble was in sight at the open ing of today’s session of the McNama ra murder trial. The state was seek ing grounds for challenging a social ist talesman and the defense was planning to oust from the box an other talesman against whom a pre vious effort had failed. Each side was prepared to resist the intended move of the other and a little furth er ahead loomed up possible dissatis faction to one side or the other over the manner in which Judge Walter Bordwell rules that peremptory chal lenges shall be exercised. But for a series of unexpected obstacles, the question of peremptory challenges would have been reached yesterday. One talesman. Seaborn Manning, was necessarily excused because of ill* health. The defense announced that it had no information concerning talesman Gteorge W. McKee and after the stage’s challenge for implied bias against talesman George W. Morton had been rejected by the court. As sistant District Attorney G. Ray Mor ton unexpectedly opened up another line of examination and finding that Morton was a socialist, hung on sturdily until court adjourned, mak ing it possible for detectives of ttie state to investigate the talesman’s records before court opened today. When court closed Morton had left no visible opening for another chal lenge. Providing these attending matters are cleared and the jury box is till ed the defense will a»k that as each peremptory challenge is exercised, new talesman be called into the bo and examined forthwith.^ Indianalolls, Ind., Nov. grand jury investigation ad lb whetHer John J.

Smith, for thirty years the -prSijlmg Dr. Wu Ting Fong Comes Out in Favor of a Republic—j Brilliant Young Officer As-j sassinatedEarly loday-lhe Situation, By Associated Press. Peking, Nov. 7.—6:42 p. m.—Gar risoned and policed by loyal forces, the capital remained tonight undis turbed by the rebels. The general feeling of nervousness, however, be trayed this afternoon when an acci dental fire broke out in the quarters o)cupied by the board of ceremonies.. For a time the Chinese believed tne flames were a revolutionary signal for an uprising and they were thrown into a panic. The national assembly by virtue of the powers bestowed upon it by the recent edict, today formally appointed Yuan Shi Kai premier. The question of his permanencj’’ in the office was discussed by it and it was decided that the assembly had no authority to guarantee this beyond the election of a parliament. It was, however, re solved to assure Yuan of the national assembly’s continued support. Demands Upon Government A mass meeting* wals held at Llnan Fu, in Yun Nan province, when a se ries of demands upon the govern ment was formulated. These includ ed the establishment of a republic and complete autonomy for the prov inces. The demands were forwarded to this city accompanied with the in timation that three days only would be allowed for the government to ac- qulrace in them. Russian financiers imder guise of a loan,\have rfrranged with the viceroy of Manchuria to advance $2,500,000, accepting as security Chinese shares in the Russo-Asiatic bank at Peking* Officer Assassinated. The officer commanding the sixth division, which was a part of Gen eral Wu Lu Cheng’s command at Shikia Chuang, reports that forty Manchus stormed Wu’s tent early to day and shot and beheaded the gen eral. Thirty of the assailants were arrested. T^e officer adds: “The battalion to which they be long looks* ready for fighting. We are preparing.” Consular reports state that several other officers were assassinated anb according to foreign rallroaa officials the Manchu and Chinese soldiers fought a regular engagement in wiiich the fatalities were numerous. No Fighting. t Reports that this city has fallejl into the hands of the revolutionists are without foundation. There has been no fighting whatsoever herer and there is no evidence that the em peror or the regent has fled. Prince Ching continues to act as premier pending the arrival of Yuan Shi Kal. Nor is there any indication that Peking is endangered. Foreigners in the various legations think that it will be.the last of the important citiM to go. The presence of many Manchu princes indicates tbeir be lief that Peking is the safest place in ^he empire. Loyal Troops Concentrated. ' The imperial government has con* centrated all the most loyal and faithful troops in the army and has craftily sent all the doubtful regi ments* to far dTstant points. The em- peror’s guard is'an army division numbering ten thousand men, all Man- Chus. A number of the officers of tbe Chinese first division are likewise Manchus and the city pdlice are for the most part members of the same race. As for the old style troops that camp outside the city walls, they are Chinese but are of a type which are honored by the Manchus title of BUnner Men” because their ancestors aided the Manchu conquerors against their own people. There is no ques tion as to the loyalty of these troops. The population of the city is with out arms and therefore unable to effect any serious uprising. There are no disaffected troops within im- diate striking distance of the capital:. In case of emergency the Manchu leaders and the court will probably seek refuge in the legation quarter here or in the foreign settlement at Tien Tsin. Shanghai, Nov. 7.—Dr. Wu Ting Fang, who has been chosen director of foreign affairs in the reform gov ernment established by the revolution ists in the province of Kiang Su, to day gave a long statement to The As sociated Press in which he announc ed his adherence to the government designed to establish a republican form of government in China.
