NO NEWS FROM THE STATE.
Representative Notified That ON Ac-
count OF Attitude of Paper a Boy
colt Is Ordered.

A reporter for The State yesterday
while making his usual rounds, was
handed the following letter from the
office Of Gov. Blease:
Columbia, s. c., May 4, 1911.
Mr.. Bell: The unfairness with
which the Columbia State treated me
during the campaign was overlooked
by me when 1 came into office, and
L gave to their correspondent AL of
the information in the office, and re-
quested my secretary and his assist
ant to be courteous and polite to all
OF the reporters and give them all
OF the public news.
Those In charge OF The State saw
fit not to appreciate 1t but continued
TO misrepresent me and to abuse me
editorially and even now they pub
lish falsehoods about me under as
sumed names. and when corrections
are sent in by my friends. refuse to
publish them for the people.
Mr.. Traywick has just sent in a
communication in reply to an edi-
torial from the State which the State
refused fatty TO publish. and Mr..
Traywick is now getting 1t published d
in such county papers as will ac-
cept 1t.
In view Of these facts. 1 cannot give
to The State any news from this Of
flee, and have so instructed both of
the young men In the Office. i regret
this, as l feel that my acts in the
office belong TO the public. yet 1 feel
that there are other sources through
which they can be received, and
henceforth there is nothing doing here
for the Columbia State. Such infor-
nation as it publishes will have to be
received from some other source. II
1t is false, 1t can be no worse than
the malicious misrepresentation
which they have been publishing
against mo since the Tillman trial.

NINETEEN CHARGE MURDER.
TWENTY-ONE BILLS AGAINST Nc.
NAMARA AND McMANIGAL.
Accuse Two Brothers Alone of Re-
sponsibility for Los Angeles Times
Disaster.

Los Angeles, May 4.-Twenty-one
new indictments according to reliable
authority, were voted late today by
the grand jury against the accused
dynamite conspirators, James B. and
John J. Mcnamara and Ortie Nc
Manigal.
Nineteen Of the indictments it is
understood, are against the McNam-
aras alone, and charge them with
murder in connection with the blow
ing up Of the Los Angeles Times
newspaper plant and the consequent
death Of 21 men. The other two are
said to be against McMenigal as
principal and the McNamaras as ac-
complices in the Llewellyn Iron
works explosion in which no one was
killed.
The inquisitors completed their
work at dusk and the true bills or
dered will not be filed in court un-
til tomorrow morning. The prisoners
will be arraigned tomorrow afternoon
and date then will be set for them
to enter their pleas
McManigal was the principal wit
ness heard by the grand jury today.
He was examined for more than two
hours. Afterwards the grand Jury
heard several witnesses besides en-
ployes and officials of the Llewellyn
Iron Works and Paul Stuperich, pro-
prietor Of a hotel at Sausalito. Cal.
which the wounded dynamiter. known
as j. B. Brice. visited before the
wrecking Of the newspaper plant.
Another witness was Douglas Bur-
rows, partner of Howard Baxter in
the ownership Of the launch, Pas
time, which. occording to the detec-
tives, was used to transport the dyna-
mite purchased by the alleged con-
spiratorts. Stuperich and Burro ws
went into the Jail this morning ac-
companied by the district attorney
and a stenographer Mrs. Stuperich
and her two daughters went with
them.
James Mcnamara was taken before
the party and it is asserted that Stu
perich and his wife and Burrows all
identified him as the man they had
known in Oakland and Sausalito.
Although it had been announced
with apparent finality. that Judge
Borwell would try the alleged dyna-
miters, it was not definitely stated
until tonight that the new indict-
ments would be returned in his de-
partment Of the superior court.
Even yet some doubt is expressed
that the case will reach the trial
stage before Boardwel. Judge
Boardwell called the editors OF the
newspapers and managers of the
press aSsociations into conference.
He said he was anxious that the pris-
oners should have a trial in which
there should not be anything savoring
Of unfairness and asked their COOP

DEBATE IN HOUSE WARM.
REPUBLICAN MAKES BITTER AT
TACK ON FARMERS FREE
LIST.
Focht and Sims Engaged I'm Rapid
fire interpolation ON Cost OF Ex-
Session.

Washington. May Mot since the
Republican guns were unlimbered
against the Democrats free list bill
by James r. Mann. minority leader,
over a week ago. has the debats In
the house developed such an attack
on the measure as made today by
Representative Hill Comm, Re-
publican member OF the ways and
means committee and one Of the
leading Republican advocates of the
Canadian reciprocity bill.
Mr.. Hill declared that the bill de-
vised by the Democratic leaders re-
moving the tariff duties from many
food products and manufactured ar
ticles was so crudely drawn and so
Indefinite In Its terms that instead Of
tfo.o0o.ooo reduction In revenue, as
the Democrats claimed. 1t might make
reduction OF $4,000, 900: and that
hts effect upon business would be to
transfer many hourishins industries
TO Europe.
Mr.. Hill explained that the Inter-
national Harvester Machine company,
the large sewing machine companies
and other great manufacturers would
b. able under the Democratic bill to
manufacture parts OF their machines
eheaply abroad. and bring them into
this country TO be assembled by
cheap labor here.
Mr.. Hili said that In attempting to
make free of duty the bagging used
10 wrap cotton bales the Democratic
bill would let In free the bagging used
by the fertilizer trust, the cement
mills OF the United States Steel COM
pany and by other monopolies which
would give no corresponding reduc-
tons In prices to consumers.
q. w. Underwood. chairman OF the
ways and means committee, interjec-
Bd that Mr.. Hills whole argument
was from the standpoint OF the
American manufacturer; that the
bslPs purpose was to reduce prices
and cost of living for the Americon
people"
Mr.. Hill declared that the reduc-
tions would In almost every case be
taken up by the big corporations that
control the market.
Mr.. Focht (Pa.) said that the
mrifr debate In the extra session was
costing the country $4,000 a minute.
MT. Sims (Tenn.) retorted thar the
expense to the country would be the
same whether the house were In ses-
aon or not.
We did not call the extra session,"
retorted Mr.. Focht. "You had to
make your agreement with the White
House that you would pass the reci-
procity bill"
'whose White House is it?" asked
Mr.. Sims
"You claim that and everything
else In sight" said Mr.. Focht.
Who owns the White House?"
persisted Mr.. Sims.
"You act as IL you did," rejoined
Mr.. Focht. "and you act as though
you really had the presidency now. I
believe you have discounted Demo-
cratic success for 16 years ahead. but
you are entirely mistaken. The op-
fimism OF those Democrats remind
me OF the man who jumped off the
s2nd story Of the Singer building in
New York. When he got down about
thu 18th floor he hoilered. I'm all
right so far" but when he landed on
