Ruling that the infliction of three
gaping wounds in the neck and head
of Charles +. Spader, all of which mar
rowly missed major blood vessels, by
Prank A. Hubbell in the Sturges bar
room last Saturday night. July |, was
a matter of self-detcnse. Justice of the
Peace w w. Mcclellan, of Precinct IL,
Yesterday afternoon dismissed Mr..
Hubbell. The hearing, which com
menced at $3.50 a. IN. with an nour and
half adjournment for dinner. 10 led
until $3.50 and was held in rne eou ell
chamber to accommodate the crowd
which packed the room to hear the
testimony.
Mr.. Hubbell, represented by Attor-
news Marion K Wood, was arraigned
on the charge preferred by Spader oil
assault with intent to Kill. The de-
fense throughout sought to show
that Mr.. Hubbell whose knife was
exhibited in court, used the weapon
only after he had been struck by
Spader and to protect himself, inflict-
ing the serious wounds while effect
ing this protection, and that Spader
was distinctly the aggressor through
out the fight. District Attorney klock
attempted tosshow that even admitting
that IIubbell might have been struck
one blow, not made certain by the
evidence, Spader was not In an aggres-
sive attitude when Hubbell menaced
him with the knife, defying Spader to
strike him and thus, in the words. Of
the district attorney. inviting an as
sault Spader testified that he struck
llubbell only to prevent his attack
ing him with the knife, and because
Hubbell had applied vile names to
him He utterly denied applying any
abusive epithets to Mr.. lIubbell,

Mr.. Wood in taking the floor to sub
nit his case expressed the most pros

territory had the nerve to stand on the
testimony and not ask dismissal
clat,ninu thot all the evidence had
gone to make plain case of self-de-

only was Mr. Hubbell justified in in
flicting the wounds on Spader, but
he would have been justified in kill
ing him on the around of self defense
asserting that the testimony showed

terms used by President Gompers of
the American Federation of Labor in
denouncing the arrest of the men
charged with dynamiting the Los An
geles Times building at hearing to-
day before ths senate special commit
tee fer the investigation of police
methods of ferreting crime.
Mr.. Gompers complained against
the manner of arrests of John j. Me
Namara at Indianapolis and J, y. Me
Namnra of Detroit. "'rhe right OF the
meanest man OF our citizenship must
be respected said Mr.. Gompers and
added.
II need not argue that to the United

He said the indianapolis arrest was
apparently staged" one newspapf n
having the story of the arrest set up"
and the edition held up until the ar
rests could be pulled off,"
He claimed Mcnamara was taken
before u court which, instead of In
qulrinR whether he was a fugitive
from Justice, merely investigated the
personal identity of the prisoner The
witness said Mcnamara was denied
counsel and removed to california
over SO many railroads that he could
not be released on habeas corpus.

This Is the query which Is now be-
Ing prOpounded by tbs United States
Senators who want statehood for New
Mexico and Arizona and by the ad-
vocates of statehood In general in this
city. Senator Smith did not show up
today and the Flood resolution ad-
mitting New Mexico and Arizona Is
thus preparing to enter upon its third
week unreported out OF the senate
committee which three weeks ago de-
cided and voted upon a favorable re-
port.
William Alden Smith Of Michigan
has gone To the woods with the re-
port. Until he comes back. or until
the patience of his colleagues ia ex-
hausted. the whole statehood matter
is up in the air and every day he re-
mains away brings nearer the end of
the session with the two states not
acted upon.
That Mr.. Smith Is the chief figure
or the main instrument in Il deliber-
ate plot To defeat the hopes, of the
territories is no longer susceptible of
dispute.
At Smiths office II Is announced
that he "wll return Monday" This
Is interpreted To mean nothing, as In
