TRockiand, Me,, June 4.—In spite of the fact that she ran on an uncharted reef_and injured her outer bottom while on her way into this harbor Sun- day afternodn, the new battleship Ar- kanses was able to meet all require- ments in her speed-trials today and was prevented from completing the day’s programme only by darkness. During the day's trials the Arkansas met with another accident, an inter- ior one, which necessitated the cutting cut of the low pressure turbines, Offt cials declared the accident not to be of a serious nature. It was explained that during the cofirse of one of the ship’s 16-knot runs, the turbine began to *squeal,” an indication that all is not right, and immediately the engine was cut off. Unofficial stories told by the mem- bers of the crew and others who were aboard at the time the Arkansas struck differ considerably. It is declared by many that the vessel is leaking badly and that the pumps are being worked constantly. It is admitted by all that had the Injury to the hull been a lit- tle higher up the accident would have been of a much more serious nature. The reef on which the ship struck is sald by fishermen to be about 21 feet vnder water at low tide. The Arkan- sas draws 28 1-2 feet, but at the time of the accident the tlde was well up. Officials exonerhte the pilot, Capt. Charles A. Blair of Bath, who was in charge at the time, of all blame, as the reef is uncharted and unprotected. Offictals stated tonight that the bat- tieship would in the regular course of events go Into drydock before being turned over to the government, but that the accident of Sunday wonld not in all probability hasten the dock- ing of her. The Arkansas started off for her trials early this morning. She had made three runs about the course at ten knots, three at twelve knots, and was just starting on her sixteen knot runs when the accident to the tur- bine happened. After a delay of sev- eral hours the 16-knot runs were com- pleted and three each at 17 1-2 and 19 knots were made, GOMPERS' NAME BROUGHT IN AT DARROW'S TRIAL | Franklin Says That Former Sent the Money to Darrow, Los Angeles, Cal, June 4,.-That It would trace to the McNamara defense fund of the American Federation of Labor the money alleged to have been used by Beri H, Franklin te bribe jur. ore in the MeNamara trial, was the agsertion made today by the presecu- tion in the trial of Clarenes B, Dar- row, accused of bribing Jurer George W, Leeckwsod, The name of Samuel Gompers, pres- ident of the Ameriean Federation of Labor, was brought inte the recerd several times.

WEDDED AT DANIELSON Judge Bill Officiates at Culmination of a New York Romance—Attieboro Jewelry Manufacturer the Groom. (Special to The Bulletin.) Danielsen, June 4.—Miss Nan M. Corrigan, age 22, of New York, and Frank M. Bates, age 31, of Attleboro, Mass., were married this evening by Judge Bill. They came here from Providence in a touring car and left immediately afterward for Boston. Bride Was Newsgirl. The marriage here is the culmination ef a romantic rivalry for the hand of Miss Corrigan, who until a few days ago, has been in charge of a news- ‘stand at the Vanderbilt hotel in New York. The happy suitor, Frank M. Bates of Attleboro, is an oil operator and multimillionaire jewelry manufac.- turer, with factories in Rhode Island and Massachusetts, Wealthy Widower Sought Her Hand. Miss Corrigan, before going to the Vanderbilt hotel, had been in charze of the news stand at the Hotel Bel- mont, and it was there a wealthy Buf- falo widower saw her and fell in love, He begged her to marry him, but she told him there was too much differ- ence in their ages. He did not despair, however, but continued to plead with her whenever he got the chance, Bates Comes On the Scene. Young Bates was one of the first persons to register at the Hotel Van- derbilt when it opened in January. ‘When he went over to the news stand to buy a book he was so attracted by the pretty girl in charge that he went back as often as propriety premitted t3 buy others, until soon her stock was gone, Finally he managed to get a formal introduction. Her hours wers from 6 a. m. until neon, and 6 p. m. until midnight. Two Men Awaited Her. When she started home that night, her first at the hotel, she found two men waiting to see that she got there safely; one was the Buffalo widower, the other her new admirer, Mr, Bates. “You both take me home,” she sald, rogulshly. The men glared at each other but gamely accompanied. her. Both Showered Gifts Upon Her. After that their courtship was some- what spectacular, The Buffalo man transferred his headquarters to the Vanderbilt, in order to be constantly <n the battlefield, Both showered gifts on Miss Corrigan. Those about the hotel who were aware of the desper- ate race between ithe two men watched with interest for the outcome. The younger man won. After he had pro- rosed and had been accepted the Buf- falo man extended congratulations and left the hotel Marriage Was Not Secret. Why Miss Corrigan and Mr. Bates came to Danielson to be married is not apparent, for, according to the plans as published in New York papers this evening, the wedding was to have taken place in Attleboro today. No one in Danielson realized at the time of tha marriage of the romance attached to the affair. Miss Corrigan and Mr. Bates after telephoning, kept Town Clerk FYrank T. Preston waiting until they reached here in their car from Provi- dence, that he might issue them the niarriage license. Bride Wore Glittering Diamonds. Judge Bill, who married them, a few minutes later, was conveniently wait- ing in his office. The beautiful dia- monds that Mr. Bates had given his bride, and they were magnificent, glit- | tered . dazzlingly as the nuptial knot was tied, An automobile is another gift from the groom to the bride. Miss Anna Beegan, a stenographer, friend of the bride, came here with her and was a witness to the ceremony. Evidently a Change of Plans, Hvidently there was some mixup in the plans for the wedding, as Miss Corrigan announced before she left New York: “We will be married in Attleboro in the afterncon. Frank's cougin will be his best man. All the members of his family will be there.” Bates Married Twice Before.

RIOTING NOW GENERAL Bitter Disappointment Over Clerical Viotory—Civic Guard Indicates That It Sympath With the Rioters. Brussels, June 4—Belgium 1§ in & state of eruption on account af the re- cent elections and rioting throughout the country has taken on a revoluilon- ary character. Many have been killed or wounded in various cities and a large number of reserves have been ‘ealled to the colors. The agitation in the industrial districts is rapidly increasing. Fvery hour brings news of fresh protests by the labering classes against the governmental wic- tories. ‘ Guard in Sympathy With Rieters. The conservative elements are oon- siderably alarmed over the tendencies of the civic guard, which corresponds to the Amerfcan militia, to make com- mon cause with the rioters. This, how- ever, is only in isolated instances, Brussels being a case in poimt, where the guard v held a sympathetic celebration before the monument of Francisco Ferrer, the originator of the modern scheol in Spain. Laboring Classes Greatly Disappointed The national disorders generally are attributed to the acute disappgintment of the laboring classes over the pro- nounced victory of the clericals in fhe recent elections. The socialists allisd themselves with the Ifberals on the public school guestion in opposition to the government policy, hoping thevedy to win a majority of the seats in the ° chamber. Their failure to do 80 caused a wave of anger to sweep over the country. Women Worse Than Men. The latest reports from the prov- inces show that the strike has over the entire Liege basin and had tied up most of the colllerfes and the big metal industry. In the center of Beiginm many industrial proprietors seem to approve of the strike and sym- pathize with the men. The women have aroused themselves to even greater frenzy than the men in the disorders, which are particularly anti-clerfcal in character. 3 Street Car Employes Strike. In all the collierles of the southeast the Flemish workmen have been boy- cotted by the Walloons, and hundreds of them have aiready left the prov- inces. The street car employes have struck at La Louviere and the mumici- pal employes at Seraing. Church Desecrated. Liege tonight has the appearames of a besieged city. Two regiments are under arms, besides police, the civic guard and gendarmes. Several clashes occufred between the rioters and the troope.
