Of TALESMEN
INTERESTING
The Questions Are Believed
to Foreshadow Grounds
of Defense
M'NhMARA BEING TRIED
FOR DEATH OF ]. HAGGERTY
Defendant Is Also Charged in Indict-
mcnts With the Death of Twenty
Others Killed in the Times Explo-
sion Over q Year Ago.

Los Angeles. Oct. 13.-The exam
ination Of the talesmen was the pre-
ceding scheduled for today before
Judge Waller Bordwell in the superior
court in the murder trial of James
B. Mcnamara. The questioning of
the talesmen. frequently regarded as
dismal proceeding. furnished in this
case an niteerst to the spectators and
partisans because it was expected to
define in advance Of the opening ar
guments some Of the essential issues
Of the trial which is designed to show
whether the defendant is responsible
for the death of j. H. Haggerty. who
with twenty others was killed In the
Los Angeles Times explosion over
year ago.
For these deaths James Mcnamara
is held on indictments. but the state
has elected to go on trial on Hagger-
tvs case.
After hours of persistent question
ing the defense challenged for cause
Fenireman S. T. Nelson near the end
of the morning session. Nelson was
the first venireman examined in the
trial. From the start Nelson's extreme
hesitation in an swering the questions
put by Attorney Davis for the defense
was generally noticed and 1t finally
brought an admonition from Judge
Bordwell.
Have you any opinio nthat would
require evidence to remove" was the
question finally hit upon that drew
q direct answer.
II think l have" said Nelson and
later amplified to include, opinion
as to the guilt or innocence of the
defendant"
Assistant District Attorney Horton
for the state examined Nelson briefly
eliciting a reiteration of the assertion
that he would need evidence to re-
move his opinion. with a supplement
tary declaration that he thought he
could give the defendant a fair trial.

Washington. Oct. 13.-In honor Of
the fiftieth anniversary of the en-
trance of James Cardinal Gibbons into
the priesthood and the twenty-fifth of
his elevation to the cardinalate there
was laid her yesterday the cornerstone
of Gibbons memorial hall to be a part
Of the Catholic university of America
Cardinal Gibbons himself was the
center Of the celebration with arch
bishops. bishops and other church
dignataries from all over the country
participating. The gorgeousness Of
the scene contrasted with the simplici-
ty Of the ceremonies. the afternoon
sun shining brightly on a richly ar
ranged mass Of purple. red. white and
black.
After having laid the cornerstone of
the building. which is to be dormi-
tory for lay students. the cardinal
spoke briefly. saying he wished to
thank benefactors for the money they
had given to the building fund and ex-
pressing the hope that enough would
be contributed in the near future to
complete the structure. About $780,
900 Of the $250.000 needed already
has been given.
II cannot fail" said the cardinal,

ARBUCKLE IS
AGAINST TARIFF
The Sugar Refinery Magnate
Wants No Duty on the
Raw Product

New York. Oct. 13-Just before sail
ing for Europe today. John Arbuckle
sugar refiner and coffee manufacturer
issued a statement strongly attacking
the tariff on raw sugar, declaring II
to be a wicked tax" for the benefit
of the beet sugar interests. In his
statements Mr.. Arbuckle said:
Il propose to devote all my time and
all my ability and all my strength to
the abolition Of all import duties on
raw sugar, a most wicked tax on a
food necessity of all our people. II
taxes the man who works for a wage
of dollar day as much as it taxes
an Astor or Mr.. Morgan or Mr. Rookie
feller. Each eats. or at least needs
the same amount Of sugar. and each
pays. not according to his ability, but
according to his needs. reversing an
elemental rule of taxation.
IF. as someone has said, sugar is
the comfort of old age and the de.
light of youth, your Uncle Sam is
engaged in taking candy from children
the height Of meanness. The duty on
raw sugar is IS per cent of its value
this import duty with others:
Sugar ................7s.s7 per cent
Champagne 1000 per cent
Automobiles ......... .45.00 per cent
F'urs ................. 5000 per cent
Diamonds ............10.00 per cent
Pearls ...............2 .2O.00 per cent
THE duty which the United States
exacts on the importation of raw su-
gar. as we'll as the cane sugar, for the
gentlemen who are manufacturing beet
sugar exact from the public every pen
ny they can get. The beet companies
have stated. as / am informed, that
they can produce beet sugar at from
2 1-2 to 3 cents per pound.
I'm California the beet sugar is sold
just under the price of the cane sugar
and the cane sugar. although 1t is
gar. which Is admitted free of duty,
costs the consumer the New York
price of refined sugar. plus the
freight.
I'm Utah the beet refiners exact the
full price Of the San Francisco mar
ket. plus the freight across the Roc
ky mountains. Everywhere the beet
sugar manufacturer takes full advan-
tage Of the tariff tax and it results
puay the tax to the government on
the cane sugar and to the beet sugar
barons on the beet sugar. The saving
to the American people on the sugar
consumed last year II the tax were re-
moved would amount to almost $780,
100000. ,...-
THE beneflciaries of the duty are
planters of cane in the Hawaiian As
lands. Porto Rico. Louisiana and the
Philippines and the manufacturers OF
domestic beet sugar. We are taxed
for the benefit Of Louisiana and the
domestic beet sugar producers. The
domestic beet sugar interests need no
protection. The American Sugar Re-
fining company has twenty millions Of
beet sugar capital"

That Amount Could Have
Been Spent in Wisconsin

Milwaukee, Wis, Oct. 13.-Argu-
ment as to whether the largness Of a
candidates expenses for nomination to
congress was to be taken as a pre-
sumption that the money was used
wrongfully. occupied a great portion
Of the senatorial investigation of
United States Senator Isaac Stephen
some election today.
After 1t had been testified by witt
nesses that instead Of $107,793 sena-
tor Stephenson might have expended
$22O.00O for nomination at the prim-
aries in 1908, and after it was figured
out on basis given that all the four
Republican candidates might have ex-
pendid an aggregate OF $8$O,000.
Charles E. Littlefield. counsel for SEN
atorr Stephenson, raised the question
whether the amount was to be con-
sidered evidence Of guilt on the part
of the senator who is charged with
bribery.
Congress may say a senatorial can
didates expenses shall not exceed $1O.-
900. but there is no logic in the world
which will show that just beause he
was used corruptly," said Mr.. Little
field. IF this committee in its report

into the facts of the expenditures re-
gardless Of what they aggregated. II
am not convinced that congress was
justified in limiting senatorial can
didates expenditures to 100000" he
added.
Senator George Sutherland said he
thought the amount spent by Senator
Stephenson warranted an inquiry
along the line that it was unreason-
ably large. The fact that the senator

said Senator Sutherland. "To favor
millionaires seems to be one Of the ef-
fects Of the primary system"
Mr.. Littlefeld then asked D. E..
Riordan of Ashland, Wis, whether
Senator Stephenson was justified in
spending s1O7.793.

China Faces an Unprecedent-

Affairs Today

Garrison Guarding Peking Is Honey
combed With Revolutionary Senti-
ment and Many of the Important
Cities in Hands of Revolutionists.

Peking, China. Oct. 1s.-China to-
day faces an unprecedented crisis.
With the spread Of the revolutionary
activity the opinion is gaining ground
that the fate of the ruling dynasty
hangs in the balance. The revolution
IL no longer confined to the central
provinces, a thousand miles away
from the capital. Peking itself is
threatened. The members Of the cab
met admitted today that the garrison
here is known to l., honeycombed
with revolutionary sentiment. The
same condition exists in the two great
military posts which guard the capi-
tai. Pao Ting Flu and Tien Tsin.
There are official attempts to min
imize the gravity Of the situation, but
the reports reaching the capital give
little basis for hope. Todays news
included reports that Chung King was
in danger, that WI Chang had been
taken, that Yo-Chow had fallen and
that communication between Hankow
and Chang-Sha, the capital Of Hanan
province, was interrupted.
