The glory Of the farmer is that in
the division of labors it is his part
to create. All trade rests at last
upon his primitive activity. He
stands close to nature. He obtains
from the earth the bread and the
meat. The food which was not he
causes to be. The first farmer was
the first man, and all historic nobili-
ty rests on possession and use of
land. Men do not like hard work,

day:
:. "The Mcnamara brothers ac-
acknowledgements of guilt will give
the cause of labor a temporary set

To Enter Plea
OF S'Guilty"

learn of the hotel registers, un-
covered before, signed by McNa-
mara. The persons who had seen
him start away that Saturday with
the suit cases in which the BOMBS
were concealed were displayed and
other incidents which showed
what an iron clad, bomb-proof
case the state had.
Pressure Was Brought.
Then it was intimated that a
plea of guilty would be backed by
the business interests of the city
if it came at once.
But If it were delayed It was
made plain, no mercy would be
shown. j. B. Mcnamara would
be sent to the gaIlOws and every
effort be made to send his brother
TO a similar fate.
Then came the alleged bribery
episode, and for the first time Dis
trict Attorney Fredericks smiled.
He had won the game, and he
knew it.
Only one condition was made by
the prosecutor-that the plea be
immediate. There was to be no
delay until after election.
What is to be done about the
bribery charge is not known.
Will Try Franklin.
Assistant District Attorney
Ford, in charge of the case. against
Franklin, said he had no reason
to believe Franklin would not
stand trial. 81 would advise you
not to miss that trial." he sug-
gested. "It might be interesting"
1t is already evident that there
is friction over the bargain enter
ed into yesterday. Allegations of
bad faith are made against Dar-
row and the McNamaras and the
end oft his case is far from being
in sight.
Won't OMIT Practice.
Attorney Davis was angry over
a report given wide circulation
that as a result of the present case
he and Darrow would retire from
law practice.
Darrow has repeatedly assured
his friends that this was his last
case. He Is worn and Ill today.

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Dew. q
Murder will out!
The Mcnamara brothers sit
in closely guarded cells silently
waiting for the words that will
sent one at least to gloomy old
San Quentin for life.
John, the elder astute labor
leader, who devised the dynamite
conspiracy that sent 81 innocent
workers into eternity, expects to
get off with a 20-year terms, and
be free in IL years.
They Slept Well.
The brothers slept well last
night. They ate their supper in
silence, then sat for hours convers-
ing in low, whispered tones. Their
jailers did not disturb them, al
though their every movement was
closely watched. There is always
the ever present fear of self MUIR
der of this kind.
Tell Strange Story.
The beginning of the end, 1t Is
asserted, came several days ago.
While James B. Mcnamara was
lazily leaning back in his chair a
man came quietly into the room
and took a seat by the lawyers.
A few minutes later he was JOIN
ed by another. AS they gazed
long at the accused man he SEEM
ed to feel their gaze and turned
toward them. He caught their
eyes, looked closely, and then a
mantle of red mounted to his
pallid forehead.
Shortly afterwards he whisper
ed to Scott and Darrow, his coun-
sci.
What Mcnamara told his coun-
sci developed today. The men had
seen Mcnamara as he went into
the alley of the Times on that dark
night more than q year ago. They
had spoken to him at the time and
he had answered them and McNa-
mara realized that this was the
positive proof that Fredericks had
boasted of. The chain about him
had been clinched, and he knew
