found: William Mulholland, chief en-
gineer of the Los Angeles aQueduct;
]. B. LippincOtt, assistant engineer of
the aqueduct; w. B. Matthews, attOr-
ney for the aqueduct department, and
Charles D.. Willard, the man who,
more than any other in this city, repre-.
sents and personifies the many years
of fighting that has been done here for
good government. All these men
agreed that the compromise was just
the thing to do.
Thanksgiving day was the crucial
day. The terms had been negotiated
down to point where there were only
two differences. Harry Chandler went
to see the district attorney to ask him
to cOncede one point, and the counsel
for the Mcnamara boys went over to
the Jail. l went with the latter group,
and the story of what happened there
l shall tell later. All that need be said
now is that Jim, who had consented
four or five days before to plead guilty
himself, objected to having his brother
Joe do the same thing. J. J. McNa-
mara was willing He gave his con-
sent after five or ten minutes talk,
and 1 sat, with Jim while the lawyers
talked to Joe.
"JOe will never do it," Jim said to
me. Within minute they came back
with Joe's consent
Jim held out all forenoon, and late
in the afternoon. when went back to
the Jail. l found that the attorneys also
had returned there. They had Jim's
consent to a plea Of guilty by both of
them. '
One More Struggle
That evening. LeCompte Davis, one
of the local attorneys who was assist
ing in the defense. went to see Mr.
Fredericks. Darrow. Joe Scott and l
went over to Darrow's house and wait
cd. We didn't have to wait long. In
about twenty minutes Mr.. Davis came
in and he said that he and Freedricks
had agreed.
There was one more struggle. To-
ward the end Of last week. Darrow had
wired to Sam Gompers at Atlanta to
send out here somebody to represent
the American Federation Of Labor. Ed
N. Nockels. secretary of the Chicago
Federation Of Labor. had responded.
and he was waiting for US at Darrow's
house. He didn't like the arrange
ment at MI. at first, but the whole
case was gone over for him bit by bit
and the whole situation here and ev-
erywhere In labor circles was put be-
fore him. It was = wonderful review
Of actualities In that field. and 1t con.
viaoed Nockels. He said that under

rest content with that, but to 60 on
and have conference with labor upon
the labor situation in Los Angeles
In all fairness to Captain Fredericks,
the district attorney, it should be said
that, so far as know, he never asked
for any such support. 1 can't go in
timately into his part of the negotia-
tiOns. Another man, whom l have not

under intense excitement, the usual
form was gone through. 1t iasted only
ten minutes at the most, and it was
not until the Judge arose to go out that
crowd, including the reporters, recov-
cred themselves enough to move Then,
of course, there was lively scatter
ing for telephones and a buzzing of in
quiry. Men asked one another what
had happened. They couldn't quite get
it. They heard but they couldn't
grasp it.
In order to understand this, you must
know that ever since the explosion in
the Times building, the class line has
been drawn here and almost everyone
has taken a side. Moreover, almost
all men have been thinking on their
side. If you were for labor, the build
ing was blown up by gas. If you were
on the capitalist side, it was blown up
by dynamite put there by labor men.
Out of this had developed a new po-
litical party, the Socialist party, and
with it were all kinds of working men
and their friends and others, enough
to make number near enough to a
majority to ffighten everybody on the
other side. And those on the other
side had also united into a solid mass.
The truth, the plain fact, which an
outsider could determine in three days
of inquiry, the truth that representa-
tiYes Of a group of organized labor,
which. has been blowing up bridges,
turned aside to give the Los Angeles
1lmes one," was almost unbelievable
by labor. and even the other side
couldn't credit the news that the Nc
Namaras had pleaded guilty. 1t was
evident, beyond all question. that the
rank and file OF workingmen even b ere
did not believe that they were guilty.
State Of Public Mind ...
The rumors that we're invented to
explain shows the state of the public
mind: One of them was that Darfow
hau surrendered to save himself. 1t
happened that on Monday last a de
tective in the employ Of the defense
was arrested on the charge Of attempt
ing to bribe a man who was, expected
70 be summoned In the next list Of
jurymen. since the public did not
know how long before that the ego-
tiations had been started. the con-
clusion was Jumped at that Darrow
had decided suddenly. after that Non
day. to settle. This is absurd. Of
course, and when the time comes,
shall tell OF a message Darrow gave
me after that arrest to carry to the
other side. 1t Is enough for the pres
ent to say that It will let Darrow out
OF any charge Of selasAness.
Imperial Valley press., 1911-12-04

all the circumstances he thought it was
for the best.
There remained only the Judge to be
seen. Mr.. Fredericks called on him;
nobody knows just what was said, OF
course, but he had known nothing of
the negotiations and he would have
nothing to do with any understanding.
His view was that he couldn't have.
The men might plead guilty and that
would stop the cases, of course. But
he must be left free to consider them
on their merits only and to fix any
sentences that he might deem just
The success or failure of the whole
arrangement therefore depends upon
what Judge Bordwell may decide. No
one has any inkling of what he will
do. but i have had a couple of personal
conversations with him and l am not
afraid that he will do anything to
change the result He isn't as hard as
he seems to be, and don't find in his
mind any of the prejudice which some
of his critics here have accused him
Of But, as l said before, if he should
happen to sentence the prisoners to
penalties greater than those agreed up
on by the attorneys. the whole thing
goes on and the trials will 60 on as
before
Needed to Know
This is what Los Angeles needed to
know when the news was published.
For you understand nobody, except
those fully in the secret, had any ink
ling that negotiations were going on
at all. The first sign of anything was
In the mornig when, upon the calling
of the case. the district attorney asked
for pOstponement till 2 o'clock in the
afternoon. He did this apparently to
get a chance to see the judge, and then
to see the defense. The reporters were
on the jump at this and in very short
time the sense of expectancy got into
the air in the court house. Everything
that happened for the next four hours
was full of significance, and several
rumors were hatched which grew big
-..ng the afternoon. For when court
was called again in the afternon. .ev-
erybody was still of on some wrong
scent. A crowd had gathered: the
court room was stilled. and SO was
the hall outside. Jim Mcnamara was
brought In as usual. but after him came
J. J. That would seem to let the ca
out of the bag, but even then no one
guessed what was up. The truth didn't
come out until the district attorney
arose and told the Judge that he under
stood that James and ]. J. Mcnamara
wished to change their plea from not
guilty to guilty. Very quietly. bst

Miss Blatt had charge of the efforts

illness which resulted in her death.

regard breathed in this last testimony of a man

FOR MEDICAL FREEDOM.

organization, thoroughly equipped with ready

WHEN PROTECTION APPLIES.

The 3asif principle underlying the theory Of
protection was admirably stated by President
Taft i'll addressing delegation representing the
National Grange that called at the White House
recently to protest against the reciprocity agree
ment with Canada. Responding first to the
protest. Mr.. Taft declared that "the economic
conditions between this country and Canada are
very similar and vary only as they vary between
different states in this country
Then he defined the theory Of protection
thus
THE principle of protection applies
only where the economic conditions
differ, and especially the conditions as
to labor"
Conditions in Canada and this country are
similar. Hence the principle of protection should
not apply and ought not to be applied to the
commercial relations of the two countries. Mr..
Taft was wholly right in seeking to establish
free trade between them. Turning to our neigh
Dor on the south, conditions in Mexico and the
United States are dissimilar. The economic
conditions differ, and especially the conditions
to labor Plainly, then, the principle of
protection applies to any Mexican products
that could come into competition with our own.
The citrus fruit growers of Southern Cali
fornia have but to consider these facts to per-
ceve the bunder in the standpat reasoning
that would arouse their hostility to the Canadian
agreement by presenting the bugaboo> of reel
procity with Mexico as its inevitable corollary.
