Earl Rogers, from a police court
picture, taken during the San Fran
cisco graft trials, when Rogers was
defending Luther Brown, who was
accused Of kidnapping Fremont Older
to thwart the graft prosecutors.
This picture shows Rogers char
acteristic hawk-like attitude when
browbeating witnesses.
The first step in the defense of
Los Angeles" was to accuse the
leaders of organized labor of blow
ing up the building of the Los An
geles Times. The fire had not been
put out inthe ruins before the
Times, the official organ of the M.
and M, and whose owner, Harrison
Gay Otis, is the city's bitterest op-
ponent of labor, published an edi-
torial accusing the leaders of labor
and labor itself of the crime.
Every effort was made to further
the idea that the Times had been
| dynamited, and drastic measures
were adopted to suppress those who
advanced the theory that it might
have been destroyed by gas explo-
sion. One man-Wm. Furman-a
! telegraph operator at the Times on
the night of the explosion, was dis
charged after he advanced the gas
theory.

man FOUND
DEAD IN A
DITCH

A body, supposed to be that OF
H. r. Patterson, aged about 30, was
found lying in a ditch on Division,
near Sprague, early this morning.
Blood was flowing from a cut in
the head, and it was first limited
that possibly murder had been COM
mitted.
A whiskey bottle was found in a
pocket, however, and the officials
think that Patterson, while intoxi.
Gated, may have stumbled into the
ditch and accidentally met death.
An investigation will be made later
in the day.

REPUBLICAN
IN NEBRASKA

OMAHA, Neb., Nov. 9-Returns
from 400 rural Nebraska precincts
show that Chester H. Aldrich, re-

predicted that his ultimate plural

The legislature is democratic.
For congress, Norris and Kin

Lobeck, democrats, are fairly GER

close, with the former having a
slight advantage.

DIES MONIES, Ia, Nov. g.
Claude w. Porter, democrat, has
been made governor of Iowa by a
plurality of $4,000, it is estimated
today. From the results from 300
precincts complete, out of $500 in
the state, and scattering and incom-
plete returns from other precincts,
this result is indicated. The demo-
Gratis say the figures are definite
enough to insure victory.
Republican state leaders, how
ever, refuse to admit that Porter
has been elected, claiming that
Governor B. F. Carroll has been re-
elected by small plurality.
The rest of the state ticket and
the legislature are safely repub-
lican. The standpatters, though,
