M'NAMARA'S TRIAL TO BE DELAYED
 BECAUSE OF JURY
Court Will Not Accept As Juryman Anyone With Prejudice for Organ
 ized Labor
Especial from United Press.)


 Los Angeles, Oct. 12.-Capital vs Labor. This issue was fairly deter | mined, today, in the trial of James B. McNamara, despite the utterances of counsel for both sides deprecating the attempt to make the national in- dustrial situation factor in the de- termination of murder charge growing out of the demolition of the Los Angeles Times Building.
 Judge BordwelPs ruling that both sides are within their legal rights in determining the attitude of venire- ment is capable of only one inter- pretation-that the widest latitude shall follow the examination of jur- ors. As result of this it is prop able that a jury will not be sworn for three months.
 holiday in California and there was no session of court Counsel for both sides spent the day in an az tempt to develop the affiliations of the men remaining on the initial venire.
 It is certain now that Ortie Me- Manigal will be the crux of the en- tire situation. Had John McNamara been the first defendant tried, then conspiracy would have been an abso- lute issue and the National Erectors' Association would have been the chief factor. But Detective William J. Burns, who is directing the securing of evidence for the state, sent word that he was unable to get com plete chain involving John. He sug- gested that James McNamara be placed on trial, emphasizing his be- lief that his conviction would bring in much new evidence, especially re- garding the alleged motive for the dynamiting. District Attorney Fred ricks fell in line with this sugges- tion, despite his previous promise that he would absolutely justify the arrest, in Indianapolis, of John Me- Namara and his hurried trip here.
 Even the prosecution admits that James McNamara, if guilty at all, was only a tool. His conviction, should it be possible, would be simply the prologue to the main drama which has for it's object the connection of John J. McNamara, as secretary treasurer of the Amalgamated Struc- tural Iron Workers, not only with the demolition of the Times Building, but also with the alleged explosives under all the structures constructed by the National Erectors' Association.
 Attorney Darrow, chief defense counsel, discussing the case, said. to- day:
 We know the state moved to try James McNamara first because IT realized the necessity of laying a foundation for an attempt to uphold the states detective, Burns. Even if we admitted we had not a good de- fense it would be impossible to con meet organized labor with the Times explosion"
 Eleven venirem en- were locked up. today, while careful canvasses by both sides developed that all of them are obnoxious to one side or the oth- er It is certain that not a man now detained pending final decision will remain after the right of peremptory challenge has been exercised.
 The attorneys for the defense are jubilant over the ruling that pre- judice against labor unions is just cause for dismissal from the jury. They predict that it is certain to help their side before a jury is completed.

THE USE AND ABUSE
 OF TEA AND COFFEE

Tea and coffee are classed among the stimulating beverages and as stimu- lants which are ''liberators of latent energy" Giving scarcely anything at all to renew or. restore the energy utilized, their use needs constant su- pervisfon. There is no tangible evil dence that moderation in the use Of tea and coffee causes ill effects in en- tirely normal persons, and 1t does not seem jlstifiable to deprive careful in dulgers in these beverages except for very good reasons. With persons, however, of irritable. impresionable, nervous systems tea and coffee are harmful and their use must be care fully regulated or entirely prohibited.
 Tea and coffee are valuable bever- ages, medicines and, if used unwisely, poisons. Used moderately they are often beneficial to active persons who are much out of doors. but are likely to inture the young. nervous and inn questionable, those with poor diges- tions and those leading sedentary lives.
 It is best for young people and those especially susceptible to abstain from the use of tea and coffee, and 1t is wise for all to keep within the strict est limits of moderation.
 The effects of the abuse of tea and coffee are in most respects identical Tea is more apt to produce constipa- tion and indigestion, while coffee is more apt to produce headache and car diac hypertrophy. Both tea and cof- fee cause troublesome insomnia as a characteristic symptom of their over indulgence.
 With regard to what constitutes the limit of permissible indulgence in tea and coffee. no definite statement can be made, as it varies with the follow ing factors: the richness of these sub stances in active principles, the quan- tity employed for the infusion and the duration of the latter process, the ner- vous temperament and age of the sub- ject, the kind of life led by the indi- vidual. Fontenelle was a great cof- fee-drinker, but died almost centen- arian; on the other hand there are some persons who are hyper-suscept- ible and in whom a; daily dose of a cup or two of tea or coffee will cause toxic symptoms.-Dr. Israel Bram, in the Dietetic and Hygienic Gazette.

 Surprised at Fair

 Hamden, Oct 12-General Phelps Montgomery has a fine farm here where he raises blooded stock and prize winning crops. Recently he won several first prizes for the best corn grown on Connecticut soil. Ask ed by a bystander if he would sell the corn, the General, always gener- ous, replied that he was willing to help a fellow farmer and forthwith presented the man with the prize corn. saying:
 "sYou can raise some of the same kind next year."
 A few days later General Montgom- cry attended the Danbury fair and was considerably amused and sur- prised when he discovered that the corn he presented to the man at Ber- lin had been awarded first place at Danbury, winning $16.50. Next year the General will probably wait until after the fair season before he gives away his corn.

RUSH CARS TO WHEAT BELT
TWo-THIRDs OF KANSAS CROP is
HARVESTED.
Annual Distribution Of Box Cars Fur
nishes Summer Problem for West
ern Transportation Companies.

Topeka, Kan. - Two-thirds Of this
years wheat crop is harvested and
to carry it to the markets the rail-
roads of Kansas are rushing approx
mately 10000 freight cars to the
wheat belt. BY July /, when the
threshing season is at it's height, there
will be hardly "bad order" car in
the whole state.
For two months the four leading
railroads of the state have been work
ing night and day to have all the avail
able cars put in shape to transport the
wheat. The distribution of these cars
Is the biggest summer task that these
roads have. AS fast as car is made
suitable, it is sent out into the state
to wait until it is filled with grain
and shipped eastward or to the Gulf.
1t is estimated that If all the wheat
threshed in this state this year could
be held and loaded into cars at the
same time, it would make train 473
miles long, or longer than the state,
and that it would take 319 locomotives
to haul it. The total yield is esti-
mated at between 65,0O0,0o0 and TO-
100000 bushels.
