Ten dollars box was paid by j. ].
Hill for selected boxes of apples on
exhibition at the show. Mr.. Hill sent
check for 81, 900 to w. A. Ross, as
sistant general passenger agent of the
Great Northern railway, asking him
to secure the best 100 boxes, represent
ing as any different varieties and or
iginating from as many different local
tiles as possible Nearly every apple
growing district of the Northwest has
entries at the show and each is max
ing an endeavor to have some of its
products included among the lot that
Mr.. Hill purchases.
The high premium on the apples is
not sought SO much as is the distinc-

not advised what disposition he will
make of the apples, but it is presumed

Los Angeles, Cal.-James B. Nc
Namara pleaded guilty to murder in
the first degree in Judge Bordwell g
court Friday. His brother, John J..
McNamara, secretary of the Interna-
tional Association Of Bridge and
Structural Iron Workers, entered a
plea Of guilty to dynamiting the Lew
ellyn Iron Works in Los Angeles,
Christmas day. 1910.
James b. McNamara's confession
clears up absolutely the tragedy of the
explosion and fire which, at LOT
o'clock on the morning Of October l,
1910, wrecked the plant of the Los
Angeles Times and caused the death
OF FL persons. For 10 of these deaths
the Mcnamara brothers were indicted,
and j. B. Mcnamara was on trial spe-
officially for the murder of Charles ].
Haggerty, machinist, whose body
was found nearer than that of any
other to the spot where the dynamite
was supposed to have been placed.
1t is expected that District Attorney
John d. Fredericks will ask for life
Imprisonment for James B. McNam-
ara, the confessed murderer, and prob
ably ID years for his brother.
AS the two brothers sat together in
the county Jail, refusing to see any
one or make any statement, an inter
est second only to the occurrence itself
hung about the question with refer
ence to James B.
why did he confess?''
To this opposing counsel gave the
same answer.
He confessed because he was gull
ty, and that's all there is to it," de-
clared District Attorney Fredericks.
He was counselled to confess be-
cause that was the best thing he could
do, in the opinion of counsel" said
Attorney Clarence S. barrow, chief of
counsel. 81 will say now that there
was no other reason or motive in it.

GRANT FEWER CHARTERS.
Obadiah Gardner Out Against Great
Portion of Special Legislation.

Hon. Obadiah Gardner of Rockland,
chairman of the State board of asses
sors, is out against the greater portion
of the special legislation that has been
enacted by the Maine Legislature in
the past few years. He believes that
the State could do away with a great
portion of it and thereby save money.
Said Mr.. Gardner Monday to a re-
porter: 1.-THE citizens of Maine would
save lot of money if they only per-
mitted the Legislature to pass private
and special legislation once in four
years. 1t is practically impossible to
determine what proportion of the cost
of maintaining the legislative sessions
should be assigned to this class oil
Legislation, but | think everyone will
