DYNAM|T|NG
DEVELOPMENT
Identity Of The Trial Judge
is Indicated
NO CHANGE OF VENUE
The Arraignment of the
Prisoners This Week But
1t will be a Week or More
Before They Plead for
Their Lives.

Los Angeles. Cal. May 2-Probably
the day in the case of the alleged
dynamiters was one indicating the al
most practical certainty that Judge
Walter BordweIl of department nine
of the superior court for Los Angeles
county will be chosen to try the cases
of the indicted men. While no Off
cial announcement was made on the
subject and the choice of Judge
BOrdwell was not confirmed in a
direct manner. every indication point
ed To him as the trial judge in the
great cases
In this connection it was pointed
out that only the most unusual cir
cumstances cause a case to be trans
ferred for trial from the court in
which the original indictments were
returned. The indictments against
the Mcnamara brothers and Ortie
McManigaI We're returned by the
grand jury to Judge Bordwell
Judge Bordwell is one of the oldest
judges in point Of experience in
southern California. He was regarded
from the beginning as the man most
likely to try the dynamiting cases
Attorney Fredericks received off
cial notification today that attorney
Leo NJ. Rappaport of Indianapolis
was representing the defense in the
Mcnamara cases. RappapOrt visited
the prosecutor and after the confer
ence it was announced that the ar
raignment of John and James Nc
namara and Ortie McManigal. the ac-
cused. would take place some time
this week
Rappaport declared that as far as
the defense was concerned there was
no objection to having the trial of the
accused men in Los Angeles. and that
as the arraignment was a mere legal
fOrmality there was no reason for
further delay in that.
No one connected with the defense
has Yet received any definite know
ledge of the contents of the indict-
ments returned against the accused
men. The charges will be read when
they are arraigned At the same time
a transcript of the testimony ad-
duced before the grand jury will be
gwen the attorneys TOT Ine pTlSOHeIS.
Then a date will be set for the max
ing of pleas.
District Attorney Fredericks said
today that the transcript contained
more than a thousand pages of tes-
concerning the alleged plot
which eliminated in the blowing up
of the Los Angeles Times. and that it
would probably be at least a week af-
ter the arraignment before the priS-
Oners would be ready to enter their
pleas of guilty or not guilty.
Apart from the practical certainty
that Ortie McManigal will play
star part in the trial of the McNam-
ara brothers. nothing is known of the
course he will pursue and nothing
will he known until the opportunity
to enter plea reveals his attitude.
In some official quarters it is
hinted that he will not be called upon
either for a plea or for trial until
he has testified. as District Attorney
Fredericks said he would. against the

the insurrectos that they intended be-
fore the end of the week TO launch at
tacks against all Mexican border towns
Consequent upon these warnings many
American families are coming across
the border.
Word came from the Magdalena dis
trict, southeast of NOgales. of the COM
plete wiping out of a body Of thirty
federals under Luis Estrella by a band
of rebels who ambushed and moved
them down with a sudden hail of bull
lets This fight occurred in the vicini-
ty of Otates. Reports of heavy fight
ing i'm the neighborhOod of La Colorado,
southeast of HermOsillO, the capital Of
Sonora. were brought across the bor-
der today. The rebels claim TO have
recaptured La Colorado, which has
previously been the scene of bitter
fighting during the present rebellion.
The situation along the Southern Pa
cific lines in Mexico, southwark, is
grave. Trains are running on these
lines only as far south as Navojoa a
hundred miles south of Guaymas. and
Pullman cars are being run only as
far as the latter place. There. is no
way of reaching the many important
points of that line on the coast
Only small scraps of information

INFLUENCE OF PEACE.
Not Felt in Western Mexican
States.

Nosales, May 2.-Whatever the pros
poets of peace may be at FL Paso and
Juarez. there are no. peaceful signs
along the western coast of Mexico The
news that dribbled into NOgaies today
from various quarters of the states Of
Sinaloa- and Sonora tell of scenes of
disorder and almost continuous fight
ing. There were reports of small bat
ties. with attendant loss of life. from
several points.
Not only is the political welfare Of
the western Mexican states affected.
but American interests are involved and
in danger. Even the. lives of Ameri-
cans, hitherto held sacred by federals
and rebels. are no longer regarded as
safe in the interior of Mexico.
Prominent railroad officials who
reached Nogales. from Mexico today
brought with them the warning from
the rebels to remove all their families
as quickly as possible into the United
states and To advise all of their Ameri-
can friends to do likewise. Coupled
with these warnings was the threat of

THE ONLY OBSTACLE,
A SENATE FIL|BUSTER
Mr.. Smith Estimates the Chances of
Statehood.


Washington, d. c., May 2.-(SpecialD
Hon. Mark Smith of Arizona said to-
day that from the observations he had
been able to make since coming here
that statehood would go through con-
gress at this session in some shape.
He believed that the only thing that
would prevent it would be filiibuster
in the senate.
George Hunt of Globe, who mas been
here several weeks in the interest of
statehood, left tonight for home.
Delegate Cameron is investigating
the possibility of securing the installa-
ton of an electric transmission line
from the Roosevelt dam TO Douglas
through the Sulphur Springs valley in
COchise county. 1t would enable the
settlers in the valley to pump water
for the irrigation of their lands.

for over a month, was relieved and Oc-
cupied by the federal troops today. ac-
cOrding to official dispatches received

Douglas. Ariz. May 2.-Refugee
American mining men who reached
Douglas today from Mexico. report
widespread pillage in the state of So
nora from Nacozari south. and the kill
ing of two Americans at Santa Nina,
mile southwest of Ures.
band of outlaws appeared at Santa
Nina camp, where s. J. Clark was en-
ployed as watchman. Clark was abb
sent when the outlaws. numbering
thirty. appeared. His wife tried 70

wounded The outlaws hid i'm the
house while the woman bathed her
wounds When her husband appeared
he was riddled with b1llets. His wife
was then murdered
There are no federal officers and
only twenty soldiers between Cananea
and Ures. and the whole country along
the Sonora river is without law or
order Another band of outlaws en-
tered the camp at the Chumita mine,
west of Huepac. shot a Mexican guard,
looted the cOmmissary and threw the
ore for shipment over the dump. Mine
Manager DObson was among the refu
gees who fled today.
EI Tigre camp has been entered the
third time. a tax of $500 pesos has
been levied. Refugee American line
men who have been working on the FL
Tigre power line. have reached Doug
las. For seven days they worked un-
der the guns of outlaws. who poked
the Americans with their weapons and
took their clothing and provisions.
Mining men conversant with the
situation are advising Americans to
leave Mexico as the situation IS getting
beyond the control of the rebel leaders
and they seem unable to prevent muir
der and the destruction of property.

Denver. May 2.-The interest of the
public in the legislature which aojourns

States senatorship. This is caused by
persistent reports that a senator will
be selected before adjournment. a re-
port that something was going to hap

ONLY PRELIMINARY
TO ARBITRATION
TENTATIVE DRAFTS OF ANGIO
AMERICAN TREATY.
The Difficulties, One by One, Being
Removed.

Washington, ID. c. May 2.-Several
tration treaty were discussed by
President Taft and his cabinet today.
Following the cabinet session Secre-
tary Knox and his aides continued
the discussion of the details OF phrase
olOgy. but tonight the president told
callers that no draft had been ac-
cepted as final. and it might be
weeks before the treaty could be sub
mitted for ratification.
Some difficulties in framing the
Treaty have disappeared according to
the White House. The criticism of
English newspapers that the United
States senate might be consulted be-
fore disputes could be arbitrated was
hardly a valid objection, the presi-
dent thought
The treaty probably will be general
in character. 1t will provide accord
ing to the present idea. that when
disputes arise between the United
States and Great Britain they may
be submitted to an arbitral court for
settlement
In the opinion of the president and
ms advisers it is perfectly natural
that the senate here or parliament OF
the British foreign office should be
concerned in arranging the details for
the settlement Of each dispute. So far
no agreement has been reached
among the trainers of the treaty here
as to how the proposed arbitral court
shall be constituted
one proposal is that the questions
at issue be submitted as they arise
to The Hague tribunal. Another is
that as each question arises a court
be constituted by the agreement of
both governments to settle that aues-
tion alone.

OF ANARCHY
Bandits OverFunning All
Northern Sonora
N j URDER AND PIlLAGE
Bandits are not Insurrectos
and are not Under Control
of Rebel Leaders. Murder
of An American and His
Wife.
N VI RDER AND P|LLAGE

Bisbee. AriZ.. say Bandits are
taking advantage or the disturbed con-
ditions in Sonora and are pillaging
isolated mining camps and committing
murder and robbery by the wholesale,
according to Dan l.. DOdson, mining
man who arrived here today from
Limetrafe. near Arizpe. Dodson says
that on April ). the band of bandits
who infest the mountains around
AriZpe killed Carlos Dento oae Of his
employees. and on April 30 another en-
ploye, Carmen Sante. was waylaid and
murdered. both killings having been
committed evidently for the purpose of
robbery. On April II the bandits visit
ed DOdson's camp. where he operated
on claims of his own and leased claims,
and took forty pack mules, ten horses
and $4O0 worth of provisions. Mexican
money.
He reports the killing of man
named Clark and his wife about March
at the Santa Nina mines. forty miles
below Limetrafe. by the same band of
bandits. The Clarks were Americans.
Clark was not at home when the house
was attacked by the band and Mrs.
Clark with a double barreled shotgun
held them off until she fell pierced by
many bullets. Dying from her own
wounds she implored her husband. who
arrived during the attack, to flee for
his life. telling him that she was un-
injured and could repulse the bandits.
Clark went into the yard to get the
gum dropped by his wife and fell
pierced by fifteen bullets.
The hills around Arizpe are covered
with a thick growth of oak and make
a good hiding place for the bandits
who ally themselves with neither the
federals nor the rebels. but operate
purely for the purpose of robbery.

1t was the most spirited city election
ever held in Phoenix. The rivalry
however. was not bitter but the face
of affairs had been apparently cat by
so many cross currents that the demo-
Gratis were filled with hope that a con-
siderable part of their ticket might be
elected. They were particularly
Sanguine regarding the offices of city
marshal. city recorder. councilman
from the Third ward and, toward the
last, the mayors office
A heavy vote was cast early; so
heavy, in fact. that it was PREDICTED
that even the record breaking local
option vote of two weeks ago would
be eclipsed.
That. however did not happen.
though the vote did not fall short more
than $50. In the First ward. by far
the largest in the city. the local option
vote was actually beaten.
There was no disorder at the polls
though there was something approach
ing it in the First ward, with which,
however. the republicans had nothing
to do. There appeared soon after the
opening OF the polls some promoters Of
a Stuit tlADuc tlANuldi u WHICH, Inc tkt-
publican had given warning 1t was
directed at c. ]. McElroy and the
author of it was supposed to be a

them and threw them into the gutter
saying that the democratic party would
not approve that kind of work. In this
Mr.. Easterling was seconded by Dis
trict Attorney Bullard and Mr.. Lount
the opponent of Mr.. McElroy expressed
strong approval of the circulars.
Somehow by the middle Of the after
noon. the democratic workers believed
that a victory had been won: that they
had elected a councilman from the
Third ward, the mayor and al of the
city offices except that of recorder
The republican workers were not as
sure as they would have liked to be
that this was not fact. and as the
afternoon grew the democratic hope
grew with it.
Ii was not abated when the count
began: that is. the count Of the straight
ballots, in which the democrats seemed
to have an advantage in all of the
wards except the Second.
As the count proceeded i'm the Fourth
ward things took on a darker look and
when il was ended the leading demo-
Gratis had no doubt that the day was
won and they began digging down into
the dust of years to eXhume cuts OF
roosters for the adornment of the first
page.
Unexpected democratic strength was
also developing along with the count in
the Third ward and news came from
the First and Second that the republi-
can vote was falling short of eXpecta- f.
