Times Outrage.

Truth Comes Out About Los Angeles
Times Outrage.
Los Angeles, December 1.-Jame!
B. Mcnamara pleaded guilty this af'
ternoon to murder in the first degree
in connection with the death of Chas
]. Haggerty, victim of the Los An
geles Times explosion and fire.
His brother. John ]. Mcnamara
jointly indicted with him, pleaded
guilty to dynamiting the Llewellyr
iron works.
They will be sentenced next Tues
day, December 5.
James L. Mcnamara probably will
get life imprisonment.
John ]. Mcnamara, 1t was rumored
will get fourteen years.
Each pleaded guilty on the charge
Of which he was extradited from In
djanapolis.
You have been arraigned. Mr.
James 3. Mcnamara" said Freder'
icks, land have heretofore entered
plea Of not guilty
do you answer guilty?"
Yes" answered James B.
do you wish now to plead agains
this indictment charging you will
MURDER"
Yes"
Guilty or not guilty?"
Guilty"
Does the court now take up tht
crher case against John J.?"
YES" replied the court.
The Lrisoners were taken back tC
Jail, Judge Walter Bordwell retired tc
his chambers and the opposing coun.
sci went to their rooms.
THE McNamaras have pleaded
guilty because they were guilty" wa:
District Attorney John D. Fredericks
comment. IF I'd seen any way ou
of 1t, we would not have done 1t,
said attorney Clarence Darrow, after
court.
I'VE have had it under considera.
tion sine" d week ago Monday.
II am glad It's over with. 1t has
been the greatest strain Of my life"
The Los Angeles Times building
was blown up by James B. McNa-
mara with nitro-glycerine. to be sure
but the bomb touched off the gas, and
gas really did It,"
Did you have TO wrestle hard with
the Mcnamara brothers to get that
admission" he was asked.
Somewhat, but the facts have been
overwhelming. Every loophole was
gathered in by the state. AS far as
am concerned. I felt that sooner or
later 1t had to come. Things were
happening in which big people are in
terested. The movement was impeUl-
ing. They wanted the matter cleared
up and feared further bloodshed un-
less we obliterate5 the incident from
Los Angeles at once.
"Of course, 1 felt have helped the
McNamaras by getting them to plead
as they probably will not be sentenced
to death.
Life Imprisonment will BE- meted
ou, to James r. and John ]. will gel
of with light sentence"
District Attorney Fredericks inti-
mated he would recommend life i'm
prisonment for James B. and that
John ]. probably would have to serve
short term. The matter was practi-
cally arranged early today by agree
ment between counsel.

Sherlock Holmes at Church.-Tom-
my's mother had taken him to church
to hear the evenings sermon, and they
occupied seats in the gallery, says
the BROOKLYN Eagle. Tommy tried moi
to allow his attention to wander from
the preacher, but it did. He seemed to
be particularly interested in a family
who sat in front Of him, and when the
sermon was about half over he whis-
pered to his mother:
Mamma, l never saw those people
before, but I know their names"
Hush, dear!"
But l do" persisted Tommy. Their
names HILL"
How do you know?"
Every time the preacher says his
text, I will lift up mine eyes to the
hills those two big girls look at each
other and smile"
Subsequent inquiry proved thai
Tommy was quite correct.

SUGAR ADVANCE
Due TO CORNER:
Supply Said to Be Greater
Than a Year Ago.
PRICE NOW SEVEN CENTS

Arbuckies, American and European
Refiners Control the Situation and
No Relief is Looked for In. Spite of
the Fact That 225.ooo Tons Of the
Raw Product Is Now on the Way to
This Country.
New York, Sept. 14.-With 225, 900
tons of raw sugar now afioat on its
way to this country from Hawaii and
Java, with more sugar in sight In the
world than there was at this time
fast year. even taking into account
promised shortage in the crop, due to
drouth, In the beet sugar districts OF
Germany, Arbuckle and American and
European sugar refiners have corner
on the sugar market and have Jumped
the price from 4.60 cents per pound
the low mark last February-to Z
cents. with every prospect that 1t will
go higher. The advance is purely
due, big sugar brokers say, to specula-
tion and there is no legitimate reason
why sugar should be any higher now
than It was last February.
The price of cents is the highest
in twenty-five years. The German
beet sugar situation is regarded as the
foundation for the speculation, as re-
ports of immense injury to the crop
there have helped along the condition
which now exists.
The advance In price started Feb.
Is last, when the low water mark
was 4.60 cents.
June l there was general advance
to 5 cents. June 25, following the
Arbuckle fire, that company advanced
the price to $40 cents. Aug. 9 1t was
5.65 cents and on that date the Amer
lean Sugar Refining company was
booking orders for three weeks deliv-
cry at 5.75 cents.
Since Aug. 8 the price has moved
up almost daily. About Sept. Is the

FRENCH MONEY WITHDRAWN
Movement Assumes Serious Proper
tions In Berlin.

Movement Assumes Serious Proper
tions In Berlin.
Berlin, Sept. 1.-THE Withdrawals
of French money have assumed much
more serious proportions, causing an
unusually sharp advance in Paris
sight exchange.
The movement, however. does not
excite particular concern among Ber-
lin financiers, because the Paris bal
ances here had already been reduced
to less than one-third the normal at
the end of June. 1t is assumed in
some quarters that the Paris banks
are acting on a hint from the French
government in order to bring pressure
at Wilhelmstrasse to influence a
speedy settlement
This calculation, 1t is believed, will
be wholly without effect upon the Ger
man government.
In some quarters, however, no polit-
ical significance is seen in the with
drawal of French money, as Paris Is
also recalling its balances in Eng
land, Switzerland and Belgium, owing
market. The Withdrawals locally are
regarded as less serious at this mo-
ment, because the German balances In
London anu New York have recently
been largely increased through sales
of American securities.
Nevertheless the advance In the pri.
vate discount rates awakens appre-
hension at the Imperial Bank Of Ger
many. which Is under heavy pressure
this week. The managers. It is report
ed, probably will decide In few days
to advance the bank rate.
