Quiet, but Lookout Will Last Long.
lawrence. Mass., Jan. 30.--Charged
with behig an accessory to murder,
Joseph J. lttor of New York, leader
of the textile strike, was arrested by
officers of the state police Just before
midnight.
10ttor was taken at his hotel as he
was preparing to retire. Expectlng ar
rest, he had made preparations to
secure hall but was not allowed to give
bonds.
The charge against the strike
leader Is in conncction with the death
of Anna Lopise, a striker who was
shot in an outtreak last night. The
bullet which caused her death was
fired by some one in the crowd of
strike sympathiners, the police allege,
and was aimed at the ground, but re
bounded and struck the woman.
Before making the arrest the police
anti military auLh itiles took extra
precautions to prevent any outbreak
among the strikers.
Ettor's arrest was not unexpected,
but It was thought that some other
charge would be made against him
because of his Alleged inflammatory
statements at publlo meetings.
The state police later arrested Oc
0 M. Glovannlti of New York, who
abeenJtlrik. Leq4 r Bttor's right
4 man. He, like littor, is charged
Sbeing an accessor to m rder in
. .opise.; "lo~atinltl Is said to be. the
editor of a New York Italian news
per, lp was htid. without ball.
.With the exception of an early'
I morning outbreak ,when a Syrian
striker, John Rami, was so seriously
Ilanjqred that he died tonight, the tex
tile st Ike situation was quiet today.
Aru>id militiamen patrolled the
streets with orders to shoot straight
I If need be to enforce orders against
demonstrations of any kind.
Apparently this 'had its effect, for no
efforts were made to hold mass meet
ings or parades.
Only three of the mills were Idle to
r day and it was claimed that a larger
number of operatives than yesterday
reported for work.
Colonel lweetser has granted per
missloni for a parade of strikers in
connection with the funeral tomorrow
of Anna Lopise, a striker, who was
aclcidentally shot yesterday, but only
after Strike Leader J. J. Ettor had
' agreed that it should be purely a
funeral procession and not a demon
stration. It is expected that nearly
1CO000 strikers and sympathisers will
e be in line.
No efforts were made today to bring
about a settlement of the strike. The
s s1klrs' committee ignored the sur
l. .elon. of 'Governor Foss that the
d operatives return to work for SO days,
y pending a settlement with the oper
ators,

OF DARROW.
Los Angeles, Jan. 30.-"Dld you
make a confession to the granld jury
supplying the alleged fuats on which
Clarence Darrw,. chief counsel for the
MONanaras, was indicted for jury
bribery ?"
"Will you become the state's star
witness in the ir:.l *'' of Darrow,
under an agreement ,t' iInounity?"
'Tiese two q(uestions we're i)put today
to Bert Franklin, the McNanmara de
tective accused of having passed the
bribe money to Juror Robert Bain
and 'Venireman (ieorge N. LAckwood,
and )his reply was:
"If I am placed on the wittntes
stand I shall tell the truth. I will not
Pet~jure myself for anybody."
At the satne tine he maintained that
there was no understanding between
him and the prosecutors with regard
td immunity. As to the reports that
the 'hqd confessed to the grand jury
his 'alleged part in the corruption of
the McNamara jurors, Flranklin said
he had been before thl. Inquisitors too
aborr a time to have told very much.
"You can take it front me," he
stated emphatically, "Bert Franklin
never will go to tile penitentiary. No
leniency has been promised me and
there is no arrangement at all be
tween me and' the district attorney's
office, W.' Joseph Ford, the assistant
diptrvct attorney, has never been at

not been to his house nor to his of

was arrested, and I went then to ob

"'At present I expect to go to trial
on February 27 on the two bribery

peet a jury to be drawn then and the
