AN UNBROKEN CHAIN

AN UNBROKEN CHAIN
WE now have an unbroken
chain connecting the president
with the decision of the supreme
court in the Standard Oil and
Tobacco cases:
FIRST LINK: The antitrust
law passed in 1890, declaring
every combination in restraint
of trade unlawful.
SECOND LINK: The decision
of the supreme court thirteen
years ago Tin which Justice
Harlan joined) refusing t o
amend the law by limiting it to
unreasonable restraint.
THIRD LINK: The dissenting
opinion in that case, written
by Justice White, favoring the
asked by the
trusts.
FOURTH LINK: T h i TT e e n
years of unsuccessful effort on
the part of the trusts to secure
Legislation amending the law
so as to permit reasonable
restraint of trade.
FIFTH LINK: S p e e c h by
Secretary Taft announcing his
candidacy, in which he sug-
gested that the anti trust law
should be amended by the in
sertion of the word unreason-
able, as desired by the trusts.
Sixth LINK: The republican
platform of 1908, favoring an
amendment of the antitrust
law, but not specifying the
character of the amendment.
SEVENTH LINK: The selection
of Governor Hughes to inter
pref the platform-information
furnished by Mr.. Perkins--un-
til recently a partner of J. Pier
pont Morgan. I
EIGHTH LINK: Speech deliver
ed by Governor Hughes at
Youngstown, O., interpreting
the platform to mean that the
word unreasonable would be
inserted, as the trusts desired.
NINTH LINK: All the trusts
supported Mr.. Taft for presi-
dency-every one of them.
TENTH LINK: President Taft
appoints Governor Hughes to
the supreme bench ION recon-
mendations that he has not yet
made public.) %,>;t.
ELEVENTH LINK: President
Taft elevates Justice White(who
wrote the dissenting opinion)
to the position of chief justice
over Justice Harlan, who dis
pleased the trusts.
TWELFTH LINK: President
Taft appoints other justices.
THIRTEENTH LINK: The su-
preme court, at the request of
the trusts, renders a decision
amending the antitrust law so
as to limit it to unreasonable
restraint, leaving the courts to
decide in each case what is to
be regarded as unreasonable.
All of President Taft's ap-
pointees join in the opinion.
FOURTEENTH LINK: Mr.. Per
kins says that the supreme
courts decision carried out the
promise of the republican plat
form.
FIFTEENTH LINK: Mr.. Taft
says that the antitrust law, as
interpreted by the supreme
court, should not now be
amended.
Here is the chain and every
link is strong. Can you break
it, Mr.. President? Why do you
not make public the recon-
nendations upon which you
appointed the justices who
have carried out the promise
made to the trusts in, the re

DARRON TAKES CHARGE.
Clarence s Darrow took charge OF
the defense on May %. Mrs. McMan-
igal entered the case two weeks later.
She came to Los Angeles from Chica-
go.
Later she WAS summoned ~ l'oAiAN
before the grand jury, and for three
days she pitted her wits against those
Of the deputy prosecutor designated to
question her.
on the second day detectives for the
prosecution brought Mechanical over
from the Jail and confronted his wife
with him. She emerged from The in
terview screaming in hysteria. Suisse
quently McManigal, in the presence OF
Burns detectives, gave a statement 10
reporters that the defense was using
his wife to induce him TO deny his tes-
imouy. but that he would stick to the
prosecution. He also declared that he
was not permitted to see his children
because he would not change sides.
With Mr.. Darrows arrival in May,
plans for the defense were begun. The
time for the McNamaras 10 enter their
pleas to the murder indictments was
deferred until July 6, but on that date,
instead of entering pleas. Mr.. Darrow,
backed by Attorneys Joseph Scott,
Cyrus McNutt and Lecompte Davis,
who had been retained with Hartman
to assist him, assailed the jurisdiction
OF Judge Bordwell TO try the case.
This attack was based on the alleged
fact that John j. Mcnamara had been
illegally taken out OF Indiana. When
this failed, they entered motion 70

motion was denied. bill OF exception,

guilty"-to each of the 10 charges. and
the trial was set for Oct. IL.
On certain points relative to the
presence of James Mcnamara in Cali
fornia, the evidence OF the prosecution
is believed to consist mainly OF sigma
lures in the registers of hotels where
Brice was guest in Sausalito, San
Francisco and Los Angeles. Handwrit-
ing experts therefore will be prominent
among the experts called in the trial.
II is believed here that three lines Of
defense are open. namely:
To establish an alibi, by proving that
James b. Mcnamara. the only one OF
the prisoners whom ii is alleged actu-
ally placed the bombs in Los Angeles,
was not here at the time of the disas-
ter.
Or to achieve the same result by
leaving the burden of proof upon the
state. and then demonstrating TO the
jury that the prosecution had not prov
ed that James B. Mcnamara was in
Los Angeles on or about Oct. J. 1910
Or to prove that the destruction OF
the Times building was not caused by
dynamite. but by the huge volume Of
gas used for heating the metal in the
linotype machines of the newspaper.
The latter apparently is the line the
defense has chosen, and here will be
the battle ground Of the experts. For
every expert the prosecution calls upon
20 testify in support of the dynamite.
theory, the defense will have one to do
his best toward establishing the belief
that gas was responsible for the dis
astcr.
For weeks. 1t is anticipated. the legal
struggle will be waged upon this point
The jury will be confronted by a mass
of figures, theories and facts concern
ing the characteristics of dynamite and
gas.
And at the end. when the exhibits OF

and dynamite sticks, now stored in a
magazine far out in the desert, have
been shown. and the whole story of the
tragedy unfolded the fate Of the Nc
Namara brothers, according TO students
on both sides Of the case, will depend
upon the jury's answer 10 the ques-
ton: WAS it dynamite or gas?"
