available gun. Including a number of
heavy Howitzers lent by the Servian ar
tillery, was brought to bear on the forts

No few than 30,000 shells were fired by
the Greek guns during the first day's
cannonade. Gradually the Turkish bat
teries at Blzanl, Manoliara, SaWnl and
elsewhere we're silenced.
The Greek commanders by a. feint led
the Turks to bellovo that their attack
would be made from the rlglit. As soon
as the attention of the defenders had
been attracted, the Greeks hurled large
bodies of Infantry onto the Turkish
left. The Ottoman troops, utterly sur
prised, fell back In disorder.
The batteries on the heights of Blzanl.
the mainstay of the defense, had been
unablo to stand the poltlng of the shells
and were reduced to complete silence at
11 o'clock yesterday morning.
The Greeks pushed their forward move
ment during the afternoon and occupied
the Turkish batteries on the Saknl and
Elas Hills, capturing all the guns and
110 artillery men. Then the Greek bat
tallons gradually deployed onto the plain
In front of the city Itself.
The Turkish flight Immediately became
Hencral, despite efforts of the Ottoman
officers to rally their men, whoso de
tachments succumbed to panic and joined
In a mad race Into the city. The Gi'cck
troops followed In hot pursuit almost
to tjie walls.

Defend McXnmnrn Set
tlement. LOS ANGELES. Cal., March 6.-"Thcy
ould send me to the penitentiary be
cause r am an enemy to tho rich."
This was tho plea today of Clarence
Darrow as hs renewed his arguments for
n acquittal at tho hands of the Jury
trying him a second time on charges of
having bribed a Juror In tho trial of tho
McNamara brothers, for whom he was
chief counsel.
Many women wept as Darrow pleaded
for his liberty before r crowd oven larger
than listened to him yesterday.
"I'd dlo before 1 nsked tho mercy (if
tho gang of brigands who have been
ccklng my blood. I can still fight."
continued Darrow, shouting at the array
f witnesses who had testified against
htm.
"I follow my duty as a lawyer and for
get all except those 1 had sworn to servo.
I'rnlac McXnmnrn .Settlement.
"Some day when I am known as I
truly am, It will be written that my set
tlement of that case" compromise by
which the McNamaras entered pleas of
guilty" "was" one of tho most successful
ever accomplfshed by a lawyer, I am'
willing to be Judged on It by God and by
men.
"r know something of what the world
calls criminals. They have the same
warm handclasp. Their skulls and the
brains In them wero fashioned by the
samo power.
"You and 1 may have criminal In
stincts and It may have been our good
fortuno never to have temptations
thrown In tir paths.
"When I see a man placing himself
upon a pedestal and calling his fellow
men criminals, I mistrust that man.
"We all fill our places In life, playing
the gamo until wc go out forever. I
know the human side of criminals and
know that human lives are much
alike. I did what I could to save tho
McNamaras did It honestly; did It
bravely.
"I am growing older. I have grown
weary nnd tired of life, but It Is not fair,
It Is not Just, it Is not human that 1
should have been tried again upon a
charge on which 1 had once been ac
quitted. If my enemies had any sense of
Justice, 1 should not have been cauea
to defend .myself again.
Love HI Fellow Men.
""I am ready for the eternal sleep. I
have loved peace and I have loved ml"
fellow men. I "have believed in law and
love. Yet almost from the tlmo I first
opened my eyes I have been fighting,
fighting, fighting for my fellow men. I
have practiced kindness and gentleness
and mercy the best I could as tho years
have gone. That's why I am hcre-be-
ca"uso I have loved, not Judged, my fellow
men.
"Gentlemen, there Is nothing to tills
case."
"Where, men toll with their hands-
where women, who worn, wcaK, wcaiy,
are sewing tears into garments to be
worn by the rich, I know there are prayers
going upward for me today prayers that
this Jury will free mo.
Gentlemen, I submit to you my rate
the fate of my' family."
Darrow finished his address to an ac
companiment of Bobs. Tears coursea
down the cheeks of many women and
among the men there was much muttlej
blowing of noses.
It was arranged that W. J. Ford, as
slstant district attorney, would concluae
the arguments for the prosecution thti
afternoon and that the case would go to
the Jury about 8 o'clock tonight.

Theso women we find living In fur
nlshed rooms and absolutely underfed,
according to our Investigators. It Is bale
to say that tho great majority jit them
since they have become wage earners
don't know what a full meal means,
Half of them are living on two meals a
day, and these meals of the 10 or15-cent
variety. Many of them have to uepenl
for clothes on what more successful
friends are willing to give them of castolf
garments,
In brief, this Is the situation. Is It
any wonder women do wrong? No woman
Is bad at heart: environment Is respon

wrong because' they have to live.

LINCOLN, March 0,-(Spcrlal.)-R. B.
Howell did not reach tho house today
until 1:15, hut ho nt once got busy An
soon ns the session hegnn, however, 'ho
came to tho rolling nnd called forth his
"listeners" nnd giving them slips of paper
sent them forth to get a poll of members
on his bill which perpetuates every mem
ber ot tho Omaha Water board as well
as himself In office After tho poll Is
made, and It It shows that he has suttl
cicnt votes to pass tho bill, ho will at
onco fdrco It out ot the committee and
hnvp It passed.
If tho poll shows tho reverse he will
havo a list or names to wor kon. Just
how he will work cannot, of course, bo
told, yet when he wanted tho bill rushed
through the senate engrossing room tho
rlorks wero paid $25 by n representative
of tho board. If It was worth $25 to get
tho bill hustled through the engrossing
room of tho senate, one can figure very
easily It would bo worth . several times
that to get It passed In the houso and
out of all danger.
Should tho bill become a law the Water
board will have authority., to call Its own
elections and appoint trie Judges of that
election. Should a member resign or there
becomes a vacancy tho board has author
ity to appoint hlH suvessor for a full
term. Thus If ono shnitd loslgne ten days
beforo election ho could be reappointed
and thcro would be no election. It usu
ally takes considerable persuuslon of va
ilous kinds to get log.shitors to vote for
such a hill. And tlin ' Valor board repre
sentatives havo already .sorted tn vari
ous methods to get voU. Those who are
favoring tho bill the most are those who
have at times drawn pay from tho Wnter
ofboard or wn080 rolatlvos have
