JAILED FOR PROTESTING
Critics of Federal Judge Hanford Accused of "Conspiring Against Justice"

Seattle, Wash., Aug. 28.—Having tired of spending almost two days in jail after having refused to avail themselves of the opportunity to secure their release by furnishing bail in the amount of $500 each, Oliver Erickson, Deputy Sheriff Kelley and Paul Mohr, three of the prominent Seattle officials and citizens who were arrested on charges of "conspiracy against justice," today announced that they may furnish the required amount of bail to gain their liberty.

The charges and arrests grew out of the mass meeting which was held here Friday night, at which Federal Judge Hanford was hanged in effigy as a public protest against his order restraining the citizens of Renton from repeating their requests for transfers to city lines of the Seattle-Renton and Southern Electric railway company.

The defendants in the latest case will be arraigned before United States Commissioner Totten. Commissioner Totten today stated that the cases will probably be set for hearing eight months hence when the federal grand jury convenes.

Judge Hanford, when approached on the latest development of the celebrated case, in which he has been the object of public scorn, refused to discuss the matter further than to say that he had nothing to do with the arrests.
