Los Angeles.-James B. and John ],
Mcnamara, brothers, natives of Gin
cinnati, Ohio-the one slim, droop-
shouldered and sallow-faced, with
small eyes, and the other a broad, TO-
bust man OF ruddy conference.-the
the strong hand Of justice which they
long had thought to eyade, the former
being sentenced to Imprisonment for
life, and the latter to fifteen years in
the state penitentiary.
It WAS the retaliatory action of the
Law against those lawless methods
treasurer Of the international Associa-
ton of Bridge and Structural Iron
Workers. thought it necessary to pur
sue in coping with what he regarded as
the all-powerful opposition of capital.

Los Angeles Times building Oct. l.
1910, twenty-one persons being killed
by the terrific explosion, John j. Nc
Namara, recounting to his attorneys
his principles, broke down as he NUT
tered that he fought against great odds
in the best way he could. II was a Sc
quel to the courtroom scene earlier,
when he received his sentence in tears
Of abject surrender.
For the crime OF the Times building
explosion James B. was punished; for
directing the destruction by dynamite
of the Llewellyn Iron Works. where
in no lives We're lost, John j. was
sentenced; yet hardly few hours had
passed when the word went forth that
subpoenas would, be issued for both
men to appear before the federal grand
jury to divulge further details OF their
dynamiting conspracies.
The United States government now
will demand OF them Information con
cerning interstate trafficking in dyna-
mite which is alleged to have resulted
in more than 100 explosions at bridges
and factories where labor warfare was
involved.
Something of the same fear of ter
rorisrl brought by those explosions
fitted through crowd of nearly 15,-
600 persons as it surged back and
forth around the jail. expecting to see
the McNamaras taken out into the
open on their way to the Hall OF Rec
ords, where previous scenes in the
trial had been enacted.
But the court and counsel. taking
cognizance of possible lawlessness,
held the final session in a courtroom
adjoining the Jail and the prisoners
were taken thither over an interior
bridge passageway.

900 acres, and the advocates OF the
creation of the park believe it is OF a
character totally different from any

more is much closer to the center OF
population than any Of the present

Secretary Of the Interior Fisher has
discussed the matter with J. Horace
Mcfarland. president OF the American
Civic Association and other repre-
sentatives OF that organization, and 1t
was the opinion of all who partici-
pated in the conference that before
any action could be taken 1t would be
necessary to have made very careful
examination of the area to be included

Beet Campaign Closes.

Fort Collins.-The campaign at the
Great Western sugar factory at Fort
Collins is expected to be called be-
tween December 10th and 18th.
The first payment OF $4,000 made
to beet growers in this section was
on October 18th and was compare
lively small. 1t included only ship
ments which had been received during
the month of September.
on November 18th another payment
was made of approximately $375,000.
This represents one part of the busi-
ness being transacted in this section
of northern Colorado. The /beets are
now out OF ground, with the exception
of few carloads.
The next and final payment will be
made on December 18th. This will
probably bring the total up to the
sum of $4,000.
The sugar content of this year has
been larger than for the last three
years, owing to the condition of the
soil and climate.
November 9th Colorado sugar beets
took the first and second prizes at the
Sew York Land show. which was held
in New York. The first prlze was
the famous $1,000 silver trophy do
mated by Horace Hayemeyer. In the
opinion of the judges, the Colorado
sugar beets are the best grown in the
world. they contain, according to
chemical analysis by Professor George
P. Kavanaugh of the New York State
Agricultural College, 1873 per cent
saccharine and are 500 per cent pure.
