INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 2.-"Hanging
is none too good for such anarchists
as the McNamaras are. Theirs is a
crime against unionism as we'll as
humanity" This is the statement
made tonight by w. ]. Spheres, secre-
tary to James M. Lynch, president of
the International Typographical union,
speaking for Lynch and two other
labor leaders, Frank Duffy, national
secretary of the Carpenters and Join
ers' union, and j. w. Dougherty, Sec
rotary of the International Bookbind-
ers' union.
"The McNamaras took human life
and just as in any other case the pen
atty should be life for life," added
Duffy.
"They cannot hang them up too
high to suit me-" was Dougherty's
comment.

Denial From Fredericks.
LOS ANGELES, Cal, Dec. 2.-Dis-
trict Attorney Frederioks late tonight
positively denied report that he had
been party to scheme by the big
business interests of this city to ac-
cept plea Of guilty in the Mcnamara
case, to influence the coming city
election or to settle on new basis
the fight between capital and labor.
He stated that the only reason that
he accepted the guilty pleas of the
Mcnamara brothers was to save the
county $1,000,000 and also to demon
strate the fact that no mistake had
been made in the arrest of the two
men.
Fredericks protested to be angered
at the Lincoln Steffens statement that
the Golden Rule" settled the Nc
Namara case and insisted that at no
time had Steffens talked the case
over with him. Steffens, he said, has
been working at Attorney Darrow's
behest and for Edwin T. Earl, arch
enemy politically of the district at
torney. Darrow, when told what
Fredericks had said, stated that Stef-
fens had operated for him through
some big business men who had later
exerted pressure to have Fredericks
let one of the McNamaras off free al
though he had perfect case. He
also positively refused to discuss the
bribery charges

way out" CT all the turmoil and dis
cord in Los Angeles was for the pris-
oners to admit their crime and throw
themselves upon the mercy of the
court, accompanied barrow on sew

cell and begged them to do as their
attorney suggested.
Jim Mcnamara was the first to give

his brother John, who planned the
ldynamiting of the Times building,
was a hero in the eyes of the world.
He did not want to see John hanged.

take my medicine" he said A short
time later barrow and Steffens had
the consent of John Mcnamara that
he would plead guilty provided the
prosecutor would consent to recon-
mendation of leniency.
Fredericks, looking at the matter
from standpoi of economy, reason

the prisoners to confess. But he was
sure of his case and did not like the

Rate on the Railroads is
Bothering the Courts as
Well as Shippers.

WASHINGTON, Oct. SO.-There is

the poisonous qualities OF unripe

eat green fruit but hardly poison

Fruit is making quite q bit of noise

the highest courts are getting tangled
up with fruit rates, and things, while
the tariff remains real problem to
the farmer and fruit growers.

pounds on oranges from California t.
