LIFE SENTENCE FOR J.B. M'NAMARA. MURDERER
OF q. 15YEARS FOR J. ]. POSSIBLY PAROLE

noon, District Attorney Fredericks
said he was through with the McNa-
maras and he positively denied that
either of the f'cNamaras will help
the state further in prosecutions con-
nected with the Times or other dy-
Mantle outrages in this section.
What the federal authorities will
do / don't know" said Fredericks.
He said the bribery charges will
probably proceed, although a strong
effort is being made . have the whole
affair dropped.
Sheriff Hammel is undecided when
to take the two prisoners to San
Quentin. He will have an elaborate
guard accompanying him, as they
must be taken through San Francisco
and trouble might attend the transfer
there.

Namara, who on Friday pleaded guilty
of having committed murder through
dynamiting of the Los Angeles Times
building. October l, 1910, and was
sentenced today to life imprisonment,
wrote his own confession of the deed
and gave it to District Attorney John

Before James B. McNamara's con-
fession was made District Attorney
Fredericks declared that he would
not give 1t out until later.
1t was learned, however, that the
statement duplicates no one besides

VAN VACTOR CHOSEN
MAYOR OF HEPPNER
lsnecial Corresnondence. }

Heppner. ore, Dec. at the city
election held here yesterday, sam P.
Van Vactor was elected mayor of
Heppner over his opponent, o. F.
Farnsworth the vote being two to
one in favor of the mayor-elect. J..
p. Williams was chosen as city re-
corder over Walter Richardson.
There was no opposition for places on
the council
The contest between Messrs. Van
Vactor and Farnsworth was largely
personal and no particular issues We're
at stake. Van Vactor is district at
torney for Umatilla and Morrow
counties but inasmuch as the position
of mayor of Heppner pays no salar;
he may hold both offices without con-
flicting with the law.

b. Mcnamara was given life sem
tcnce in San Quentin prison this NOR
ming by Judge Bordwell, who first de-
nounced him as a murderer at heart
and declaring that there were no ex-
tenuating circumstances in the case.
John j. Mcnamara, his brother was
given sentence of fifteen years in
San Quentin
John Mcnamara, secretary treasurer
of the International Association of
the International Association of
Bridge and Structural Iron Workers,
was also bitterly denounced by Dis
trict Attorney Fredericks and Judge
Bordwell
At the last minute Judge Bordwell
announced that he would sentence the
McNamaras in Judge Mccormick )
court room. in the Hall of Justice
building instead of in nis own court in
the Hall of Records
At 1915 o'clock Judge Bordwell ar
rived and took his seat. At 1920 the
McNamaras brothers, handcuffed to
the sheriff and his assistant, entered
and took a position at the district at
torney's table.
Shorty after 1890 o'clock Jim was
sentenced, after District Attorney
Fredericks made a plea for a life sem
tence.
1.-The bargain was kept. The prom
ises made by counsel for the McNa-
maras and "b'g business" men, who
wanted the cases disposed of prior to
the municipal election were fulfilled
by Judge Bordwell for this reason" 1t
was charged by unionists when Jas.
Mcnamara, murderer of twenty-one
persons got only a life sentence.
All bravado was gone when the
murderer faced the judge. Judge
Bordwell So ID that James deserved to
die on the gallows, but the recon-
mendation' of the prosecution saved
him.
James almost collapsed when he sat
down. When John ]. stood up his
eyes were sunken and he showed
signs of deep worry.
Judge Bordwell said he was fully
as guilty as his brother. Then the
men were hurried back to Jail.
After he returned to Jail Jim asked
that telegram be sent to his mother,
Every man who has entered Judge
Bordwell's court this morning was
thoroughly searched by Detective
Brown and a picked force of men. He
said he had received information that
an attempt might be made to shoot
the McNamaras while they were be-
ing sentenced.
The McNamaras slept fairly well
last night, and although they were
extremely nervous before being taken
to the court house, they said they
were willing to take their medi-
cine"
sentences, they would both work for
parole, for which they will become
eligible in seven years.
There Is much bitterness against
the prisoners among the laboring men
of this city who declare that the Nc
Namaras betrayed men who trusted
them implicitly
During last night Sheriff HammeI
had a special force of guards patrol
ing the Jail yard and extra precau-
tions were taken to make sure that
no untoward event could happen.
After returning to his office Dis
trict Attorney Fredericks said;
"Some labor leaders who are de-
nouncing the McNamaras, are abso-
lute'y as guilty as they and 1 know
they are implicated in dynamiting
outrages
"I know as much about them as
does James Mcnamara himself.

l" HIS governments recent shift
"a in ministers and ambassadors
E has caused a ripple Of interest
in highborn circles abroad, for
the American embassy or legation in
certain countries is looked upon as the
center Of social activities. The splen-
did entertaining of the Whitelaw Reds
In London. of the Charlemagne Tow
ers in Germany. of the George Won
Meyers in Russia and of the Bellamy
Storers in Austria and Spain has been
such as to increase the prestige of
this country in the eyes of foreigners
to whom republican simplicity makes
no appeal. While men Of genius and
distinction are useful in some posts, it
is undoubtedly true that the rich man
with a clever society wife can serve
his country more effectively at other
courts.
Take the court of Germany, for in
stance. The kaiser makes no secret
of his love of display and his respect
for spender whose hospitable ex-
ample may encourage the circulation
of foreign dollars in his capital. 1t is
generally suspected that had the David
]. Hills been of this class the canny
kaiser would nave found them more
congenial.
However, this general reassorting
may be more to his mind, for it gives
to Germany as ambassador John
G.. A. Leishman, one of the steel trust
millionaires. whose wife has been a
social leader and brilliant entertainer
in Paris as well as in Constantinople
and Rome, where her husband has
been successfully ambassador to Tur-
key and to Italy. Mr., and Mrs. Leish
man are Pittsburgers; but. like most
of the steel trust millionaires, their
social successes have been gained else
where Mrs Leishman is a handsome
blond woman of much tact and great
social ambition. Her husband, who
himself cares little for SOCIAL trfumphs,
generously gratifes his family's taste
for social life, and there is no doubt
that their occupancy of the American
embassy at Berlin will be a brilliant
one.

larry bright day, day when the
suns rays are almost metallic fRs
their strength, how the eyes of the
people you meet are squinted in an
effort to alleviate the pressure on the.
nerves of sight This squirting proc
ess causes little wrinkles to appear
about the eyes and across the bridge
of the nose. Holding the face in this
strained position easily becomes
habit, and once it is habit the dam
age Is done T
One of the best ways to prevent in
