jointly by the Womans Foreign Mission
airy Societies of the Methodist, Baptist
and Presbyterian churches in an all

Deputy District Attorney Horton
said: The chief consideration that
appeals to me is the economic. By
getting pleas of guilty the county is
saved great expense without the
complication of q controversy as to
whether the big fund has been wisely
expended. If we had convicted the
men people would have claimed that
they were railroaded. Labor leaders
all over the country would have call
ed the trial "the crime of the cen
tury." There was an opportunity to
silence everybody and also to save a
large sum for the county. Although
the court could sentence Mcnamara
to be hanged, II seems to me that the
least We can do for a man who has
saved us a lot Of money is to spare
his life. While it is an unusual thing
for a man to plead guilty to crime
punishable by death, in this case the
fact will be considered and will save
]. b. McNamara's life."
Asked about McManigal, Mr.. Hor-
ton said: "He will have to take his
medicine with the rest. He won't go
free. Probably he will plead guilty
to the indictment charging him with
exploding dynamite at the Baker iron
works and will be sentenced for

John j. Mcnamara entered plea
of guilty to the charge of dynamiting
the Llewellyn iron works.
Both men withdrew previous pleas
of not guilty.
Judge Bordwell came into court
with a rush. He advanced to the
bench. slammed down book and his
notes and sat down with frown
on his face. AS is his custom, he
entered the case "The People of the
State of California VS.. j. B. Nc
Namara, charged with murder. De-
PENDANT in court. Are you ready to
proceed, gentlemen
Just previous to his entrance to
courtroom Judge Bordwell had called
the district attorney into conference
with him. Evidently the district at
torney had told him what the devel-
opments were.
LeCompte Davis of counsel for the
defense arose from his chair as the
Judge finished his statement. He
said:
After long consideration of this
case, if it pleases your honor and af-
ter consulting with counsel in this
case, we have come to the conclusion
that we shall enter plea of guilty"
There was a stir in the courtroom
as Mr.. Davis finished his brief state
ment. Then the district attorney
went to his seat, stepped over to the
judges bench and asked the court for
the indictment in the case.
"You have heretofore pleaded not
guilty to this indictment, have you
not, Mr.. j. b. Mcnamara" y have"
was the brief reply.
"How do you now wish to plead to
this charger" asked the district at
torney. James b. McNamara's face
paled as never before under the
stress of the situation. Guilty" he
replied.
Directing his attention once more
to the court, the district attorney
asked II he wished at this time to
set the date for sentence. Judge
Bordwell looked at the district attor-
ney. glanced at his calendar and
then to Mcnamara, and said: 81 fix
the date for pronouncing judgment at
10 o'clock Tuesday, Dec. g."
J. ]. Mcnamara then was sum-

pss Moines, Dec. 11.-Much surprise
was expressed here over the fact that
the Iowa delegation IN congress the
last week agreed not TO InsHe aizJ rec
ommendations to the president for ap-
pointment Of federal onices In Iowa. II
had been generally assumed that De-
cause Of the fact that all the COM
missions expire soon some action would
he taken now. Whether or not the
president will take this action to mean
that he should reappoint tho present
officials or others who might be pri-
vately recommended to him 10 not
known. All the friends OF the present
incumbents rejoice greatly over the ac-
ton taken and regard it a. certain to
mean that they will retain office Tor
four years more. Especially In the
southern district the matter u . sur
prise, for it was understood that NJ. L.
Temple, United States attorney. and
Frank Clark, United States marshal.
were preparing to relinquish their OF
fees at the expiration Of their COM
missions.
The explanation given is that MEM
beers of congress did not desire to cause
any trouble in Iowa prior to the presi-
Dental election. All OF the represen-
