discussion at the morning session of
the American prison congress here to-
day. Three sessions were scheduled
for the final day of the meeting Men
prominent in prison work throughout
the country " ere on the program for
addresses. The question OF compensa-
ton for the families OF prisoners was
scheduled for discussion at the after
noon session
A paper by Frank Moore, superin-
tendent of the state reformatory at
Railway, n. j., treated the question of
reforming those whose moral delin-
quencies might be traceable to men
tai defects.
William Venn. parole officer for
Michigan, strongly opposed the con-
tract system in connection with the
labor of convicts. He said the state
municipality and the prisoner or his
family and not a contractor should re-
ceive the profits of the convict labor.
Standing committee reports were
scheduled for an evening meeting, with
Bishop George a. Beecher of Nebraska
as one of the principal speakers. One

Los Angeles. Oct. 19.-The McNa-
mara murder trial was resumed today
at the beginning of a new court call
endar week, with prospects that in the
course of the session Judge Walter
Bordwell would rule on two peremp-
tory challenges made yesterday by the
defense on the ground that talesman
who believes the Los Angeles Tim es
building was blown up by dynamite
can not be fair juror.
This position is taken because of
the defense's position that the eXplo-
sion in the Times building was caused
by gas and that counsel defending
James 3. Mcnamara. on trial for the
murder of Charles G. Haggerty, who
was killed in the disaster, should not
be compelled to show otherwise in

The Snowman funeral held Wednes-

that he did not have an enemy in the
