PROSECUTION
WINS VICTORY
Court Decides Il Has Jurisdiction
Over Pending McNamara
Trial
CANNOT CONSIDER
AUD ESTION
Holds That Extradition on One
Charge Does Not Prevent Trial
on Another and That No Legal
Point Is Involved in Objection

LOS ANGELES. July 7.---Prelnin-
airy victory was won today by the
prosecution in the Mcnamara case.
Judge Bordwell sustained the objec-
ton to the plea for no jurisdiction
introduced in behalf of the alleged
dynamite conspirator by his attorneys.
In handing down his ruling. Judge
Bordwell said that Los Angeles courts
have jurisdiction over the pending
trial of Mcnamara on nineteen
charges of murder. The judge de-
clared the contention of the defense
that when man was eXtradited up
on one charge--that Of dyna mitin $
in this case--that he could not be
tried for another, had no application
so far as eXtradition from one state
to another is concerned.
AS to allegations that the extradi-
ton had been accomplished by irreg-
ularities, or what the defense term ed
fraud Judge Bordwell said the
court had not the power to determine.
The court, he said. could not decide
anything because of sentiment or
emotion but upon questions of law,
and It was not his province to enter
into the question of how the prisoner
was brought into his jurisdiction, but
TO try him after he had arrived there.
The alleged fraud. the court stated.
had no legal principles involved.
1t was agreed the same ruling
should apply in all pleas of no iuris-
diction entered in the murder charges
gain Mcnamara and in the accuse :
ton of dynamiting the Llellewyn
Iron Works as well. The case comes
up again tomorrow.

GIVES JACK JOHNSON

Little Chance of Champion
Now to Avoid Serving
Jail Sentence.

SAN FRANCISCO. March 3O-Ordered
! into police court yesterday. Jack johnson,
the heavyweight champion, was again
sentenced to serve twenty-five days in the
county jail by Acting Police Judge
Treadwell.
Judge Treadwell said that he took this
action to forestall any question Of the
legality Of the original sentence. from
which Johnson appealed to the superior
court. An additional charge Of automo-
bile speeding against johnson will be
heard April 4.
Soon after Johnson was recommitted to
the county Jail his attorneys filed a petit
ton for writ of habeas corpus with the
appellate court. declaring that their cli-
ent was deprived Of his liberty without
due process Of law.
The court refused to grant the writ,
and Johnson's sole remaining recourse is
an appeal to the supreme court.
johnson has been given job by Sher-
if Tom Finn. Jack is going on the white
wash squad. Superintendent Of Jails
James Carroll says there are a few high
places that the other prisoners cannot
get at and thinks Johnson, with his mar
velous reach, can daub them up a bit.
Johnson's defense was a whine that he
had been misquoted by the newspapers,
that he was always being badly treated
by the press, and before he could go fur
Their in his remarks the court resentenced
him and directed the deputy sheriff to
take him away.

FAST LOCAL RUNNER.
John Paul Jones of This City Max
ing His Mark With Cornell.


That John Paul Jones, local boy, who
resides at 1893 Church street. but now a
student at Cornell, is fast becoming the
foremost intercollegiate runner Of this
country, is shown by some of his recent
records.
At recent track meet at Ann Arbor,
Mich, Jones carried off the honors in the
half-mile event, making the distance in
two minutes fiat Though this is two
seconds less than the record time for
that distance, it is understood that the
track was not in perfect condition and
that it was the first time the Washing
ton boy had run on that course.
1t is said that young Jones not only
stands well near the top in athletics at
Cornell. but one Of the professors of the
institution recently said that he was
foremost in his studies there.
In commenting upon the running Of
Jones and his associate at Ann Arbor.
a Michigan paper Detroit Free Press
said as follows:
THE reputation Of the Cornell distance
runners proved not to have been gained
falsely. as Jones and Putnam went out
in the half-mile. and. although handicap
ped by running on a track with which
they were unfamiliar, they grabbed of
the first two places.
"Reck. running for Michigan, went into
the lead at the gun, but at the end of
the first quarter found the going too
fast and was forced to allow Jones to
pass him. Reck managed to lead Put
nam until within lap Of the finish.
when the Ithacan passed the Michigan
runner, assuring Cornell the first two
places in the event. While the time,
zoo. is more than two seconds slower
than the Michigan indoor record, the
mark was considerably better than that
made by any visiting runner on this
track"
