on Union Labor
PLAN OF DEFENSE
IS NOW OUTLINED

Completed

Los ANGELES, Oct. Thames Is.
Mcnamara went on trial here to-day
for the murder of Charles Haggerty.
Upon the announcement of Chief
Counsel Clarence barrow that. the
defense desired separate trials District
Attorney d. FrederickS chose to try
first the alleged actual dynamiter and
not his brother. John j.. who is charg-
FED with having directed the crime
from his union labor office in In
dianapolis.
In the brief session held to-day the
line of defense was clearly outlined.
u. T. Nelson. a grocer of Long Beach,
Cal, the only venireman examined,
was subjected to a cross-fire Of ques-
tons by Leeompte Davis that sought
to show his attitude on union labor,
IL he had an opinion as to whether
labor unions are inimical or a menace
to the welfare OF a community and
whether he had any prejudice or bias
against members OF labor organiza-
tons.
The district attorney vigorously OBJ
jected to this line of questions on the
ground that union labor was not on
trial and had nothing to do with the
trial.
Court Sustains Defense.
Judge Bordwell decided that venire-
men could be examined regarding
their bias or prejudice against labor
! unions as a class Before the defense
had concluded its examination of Nell
son Judge Bordwell adjourned court
until Friday morning.
The trial which undoubtedly is one
of the greatest in the history OF GRIM

Forced to Strike.
1T was due TO the i'll will of the
Ottoman government that Italy against
all its wishes was forced to the con-
clusion that peaceful methods were
unavailing, and 1t was only after a
ong series OF vexations actions against
our countrymen and their businesses
that We, being unable to renounce
our mission, the civilizing of the
neighboring North African coast line,
which otherwise would remain I'M

We will thus be able to combine
the interests of our laboring classes
with the material land moral eleva-

has hitherto represented a shocking

MEXICAN BAND DEPARTS.

The notorious musical failure, the
Banda Mexicana, has left their home in
the shacks erected on Supervisor Kin

day engagement at non-union park in
Pueblo. Jesse E. Roach, who has made
such failure of the musical ventures

is said they will go from there to Ration,
n. NJ, and Trinidad, Colo.
w. Callan, who was employed in the
Office of the Denver Associated Concert
Co., has thrown some light on the deal
ings of Roach. He himself has been de-
frauded out of sS5 in salary, he says. Mr.
Callan, who lives at 500 East Eighteenth

ish Outlook, Mr.. De Long and Mr..
Ripthaw are backing Roach in his pres

deplorable condition in Denver; that the
instruments over which mortgage is
held by the Conn Manufacturing Co. of
Elkhart. Ind, were pawned by the Mexi-
cans and that Roach has redeemed them
and has taken them with him. Many
well-known business men of the city have

much as $4,000. Mr.. Callan says that
several worthless checks have been is
