FOR DEATH BLOW
TO UNION LABOR
Present Trial is Only Curtain Raiser
to Trial Of John McNamara
Which ls the Real
Goal.
Judge BordweIl May Cite Attorney
Darrow for contempt Of Court
Because Of
Actions.

Los ANGELES, Oct. 3O.-Determin-
ed to force Jurors Frampton and Win
ter from the box without being COM
PEELED to waive pre-emptory chal
lenges, the defense in the Mcnamara
trial renewed it's efforts when court
convened today to compel Judge Bord-
well to recognize challenges against
both men because they said they held
scruples against inflicting the death
penalty on circumstantial evidence.
Darrow and his associates have de
cided that if Bordwell refuses to sus-
tain such challenge, they will try
and impeach both men. They have
witnesses who will swear that both
frequently expressed the opinion that
the defendant was guilty.
The real reason the state is willing
to accept both men became known
this morning. District Attorney
Fredericks and his associates realize
that in the present trial they are only
laying the foundation for the trial OF
John ]. Mcnamara. Because of the
latter's prominent position in the la
Dor world and from the fact that Sam,
uel Gompers, John Mitchell and other
big leaders of the American Fedora
ton of Labor are on record as declar-
| ing John Mcnamara innocent, it is
alleged that his conviction is earnest
lily desired by the big business inter
! ests which are said to be defraying
the enormous expenses Of the Burns
detective agency. 1t is considered
certain by the Merchants and Manu-
lfacturers' Association which for years
has been fighting the federation that
the conviction of John McNamara
would be almost death blow to or
ganized labor Fredericks is therefore
satisfied to accept jurors who are
willing to believe the states case
even if they would, in finding Jane;
guilty, recommend life Imprisonment
and not death
4 1t is rumored here that Judge Bord
we'll, exercised over Darrow's criti
o.sm of the court, is considering citjnt
him for contempt and forcing him tt
explain. The court, however, refuses
to comment on the case in any wa!
outside the court room, intimatint
that anything he may do will be don'
In the court room and nowhere else.
After a heated argument toda,
Judge Bordwell finally overruled th
defenses challenge of Veniremel
Frampton and Winters.

IT WILL FALL
WITHOUT PUSHING
Ex.kine ManueI is Not Worried Be-
cause Recent Revolution
Was Failure.

LONDON, Oct Box King Man
uel is not greatly perturbed by the
failure of the recent monarchist move
ment for counter revolution in Port
ugal. He believes the republic will
fail shortly without the necessity for
any pushing, for he does not think the
Portuguese fitted for self government.
AS he is enjoying English hospitality
the former monarch cannot himself
discuss politics, but Senhir V. de
Braganza Cunha recognized through
out Europe as his close confidant and
mouthpiece, gave the United Press
the following outline of the situation:
The Portuguese revolution of 1910
was aided by so-called monarchists
who after having lived easily, became
treacherous. The last royal prime
minister was in open alliance with the
republicans. The more we learn about
the revolution, the more plainly does
the treaehery of the false supporters
of monarchy appear. 1t was upon such
fiimsv foundations that the republic
was erected.
To awaken the spirit of liberty in
Portugal the republicans had only to
draw their inspiration from the past
They had only to seek salvation in
the best Portuguese traditions.
Lack of discipline, the peculiar
characteristic of this race, has many
and deep roots. 1t existed under a
constitutionalism and will exist under
the republic.
The republicans had single prob
lem to solye-to reconcile freedom
with order and prove the capability OF
the Portuguese people for self govern
ment. No progress can be shown tc
have been made in this direction.

lmperiaists Take Hankow Back From
the Chinese Rebels and
Massacre the Resi-

7 TOWN NOW IN FLAMES
Much Fear for Foreigners Who May
Have Delayed Their Escape to
the Ships in the
River.

SHANGHAI, Oct. 30-The Imperial
lists are burning Hankow today, ac-
cording to wireless messages from
foreign warships off the city. Con-
firmation of reports that the city had
been captured from the rebels on Fri
day Immediately preceded the news
that it was in flames. Stategists
think the rebels abandoned the city
after sustaining heavy losses because
they found it hard to hold while its
possession was of small use to them.
The accounts say that as soon as
they entered, the imperialists began
a slaughter Of the unarmed noncom-
batents, hundreds of whom were
butchered in their own homes. There
is much fear here for the foreigners
who, delaying too long ashore to pro
tect their property, may have not
been able to reach their warships in
\ the river in time to save themselves.

revolutionists not to believe the gov

SAYS SALT RIVER

Southern Pacific Writer Here to Gather
Data for New Booklet.

For the purpose of obtaining data
for another edition of THE New Ari
zona," perhaps the best booklet ever
published for the advertisement of Ari-
iona, A. ]. Wells of the colonization
department of the Southern Pacific.
with headquarters in San Francisco.
arrived in Phoenix yesterday morning.
He is accompanied by j. L. Padilla, an
expert photographer. and they will re-
main several days. gathering facts for
the booklet and photographs for its
illustration.
Yesterday Mr.. Wells and Mr.. Padilla
We're taken through the Glendale dis
trict by DIR. J. w. Foss. president of
the board of trade. sfr. padilla took a
number of views and Mr.. Wells was
amazed at the change he saw since his
last visit. two years ago.
Il have been through Washington,
Oregon, every bit of California, all
over Nevada and through every other
farming district in Arizona, said Mr..
Wells. Without a doubt. this beats
them all You have combination
here that exists nowhere else. This
combination of soil, climate and water
is certain to attract the substantial
farmer of education and intelligence.
The time is coming when practically
all the land in this valley will be owned
by gentleman farmers
One reason for the prosperity of
this section is that you grow the sub
stantial things-the necessities of life.
Oranges and cantaloupes are the only
exceptions and they are fast becoming
necessities.
Two things seem to me certain.
These are that we will never have any
more cheap meat and that the prices of
butter and milk are bound to increase.
They are becoming more important
articles of diet, and as their import
ance increases their price rises. AL
ready the public in large cities is de-
handing certified milk. BY and by
everyone will demand certified milk and
will pay for it, as it costs more to
supply that kind.
1t must be pleasant feeling for a
farmer to know that he is backed by
plenty of water and that water carries
its own fertilizer. / can't understand
why anyone should remain in the east
where the farms are growing poorer
every year. No matter how much ma
nure is spread. more is taken away
from an unirrigated farm than is re-
placed
Il am glad to see so many new, build
ings going up in Phoenix. also notice
that there are a great many more farm
houses, showing that the farms have
been cut up into smaller units. That is
a move in the right direction"
Mr.. Wells is of the opinion that as
times goes on more attention viii be
paid in this valley to the production
of deciduous fruits. Apples, he says,

WHITE INTERIOR FINISH.

White enamel is a very popular in
terror finish. especially with people
who are insistent on woodwork being
kept serupulously clean. There are
three kinds OF wood that are decidedly
preferable to all others for enamel
finish. namely. birch. white wood and
poplar. preference being given in the
order named. Birch is harder and
makes a more substantial interior
finish than either of the others. being
less susceptible to damage from rough
treatment.
In order to maintain a satisfactory
rubbed or dull polished finish. two
coats of enamel will be necessary and
they should be applied evenly with a
soft brush. After the first coat Is
thoroughly dry and hard. it should
be carefully sandpapered with No. 0 or
90 sandpaper and thoroughly wiped
or busted before the second coat is
applied. The second coat should not
be put on sooner than forty eight
hours after the first and may be
rubbed or polished about twenty-four
hours later Amateurs do not usually
succeed very well with enamel work
and il is best therefore to obtain the
services of a first-class painter for
this class of interior work.

new HOSPITAL
MUCH NEEDED

A new city and county hospital,
which will obyiate sending INDECENT pa
TENTS to the Queens Hospital, is a
matter that is at present receiving Sc
rious consideration at the hands of the
new board
"The city and county is paying on
an average $4,000 each year to the
Queens Hospital for the care of indi-
gent sick" states Mayor Fern
"A new hospital is fast becoming a
pressing necessity" insists City and
County Physician Bruce McV. Mackall
1t is the hope of the city fathers
that the Legislature may be induced to
pass bill calling for the appropria-
ton of 100000 for a new institution.
Should this not be available, it is
then proposed that steps be taken to-
wards acquiring the now closed Pa
lama Hospital This institution was
erected by local Chinese some eight
years ago, but for nearly a year has
been out of business. The buildings
now have accommodation for the care
of three hundred patients, should oc-
casion demand. 1t is estimated that
about $4,000 will place the Palama
hospital in shape for the reception of
patients.

new ARMY BILL
BILL PASSED

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 10
Congress today passed a special bill
injecting a new law among the many
which are for the purpose of ruling the
army and navy in time of peace as
well as war. The new bill provides
that any officer absent three months
without leave shall be dropped from
the rolls
The bill is peculiar one in that
it is primarily meant to remove one
certain officer, Capt. Peter C. Hams
Jr., from the army roster, who is now
serving a term in a civil prison for
murder.
Recalls Killing.
This bill recalls the sensational kill
ing of William E. Annis, publisher and
yachtsman, by Captain Hams, on the
landing of the Bay Side Yacht Club,
Flushing, Long Island, on August Is,
1908. At that time Captain Hams, ac-
companied by his brother Thornton J.
Hams, well-known as a writer and
yachtsman, fired five shots into the
body of Annis as the latter was stand
ing on the landing, and the victim died
a few hours later in the Flushing Hos
pital Mrs. Annis, who was nearby,
tainted.
Convicted of Murder.
Captain Hams and his brother were
both arrested, and after a sensational
trial, in which the defense was that
Captain Hams carried out the precepts
of the unwritten law, he was convicted
of murder in the second degree and
sentenced to a long term in prison.
Thornton Hams was acquitted.
Captain Hams is the son of Brig
Gen. Peter Conover Hams, who has
had distinguished career in the Civil
War and in the war with Spain. He
was retired in 1904, and served on the
Panama Canal commission.
