mara, whom it was decided to try sep
arately from his brother, in connec
ton with the Los Angeles Times ex-
plosion and fire, October 1, 1910, nc

lively. Those who at the beginning

struggle over every man in the jury
box is expected, and December is
likely to find the selective process still
going on.
Perhaps 500 witnesses, all told, are
being held in readiness, according to
estimates of counsel. With the excep-.
tion of Ortie E. Mechanical, a leading
witness for the state, now in the
county Jail, none are in Los Angeles,

By The United Press.


WASHINGTON May 9.-The Ameri-
can Federation of Labor today issued
an appeal to union men Of the country
for 100000 for the defense of J. ].
Mcnamara, at Los Angeles.
Behind his prosecution, the appeal
declared, Stands a detective agency
with no scruples or hesitancy in
manufacturing evidence; and the Ma
tional Erectors' Association, a part
of the great corporations of the
country, with their millions and bill
lions of wealth and power allied
against the cause of labor"
The appeal hotly denounces the
Burns Detective Agency and charaet-
erizes II as an organization well
known to have no hesitancy or scrn-
pies In manufacturing evidence and
charges against others"
"That agency" continues the ap-
peal, "has long been known to have
spies i'm factories and organizations
to misdirect the grievances Of work
men into prematurely provoked con-
fiicts with employers, and thereby de-
feat the ends to secure redress; to
report to corporations the names Of
men who are the most Intelligent and
active among discOntented workers
and thereby prevent a well defined
purpose to secure the redress Of
grievances; to bring about the dis
charge, the victimization and black
listing of men.
Regarded With Suspicion.
"A detective agency such as. this is
itself accused before the bar of public
opinion, and any accusations which
its representatives may make must be
regarded with suspicion by every fair
thinking American citizen.

HAS APPROVED
THE PAY ROLL
Water Board Workers Won't
Have to Wait for Their
Salaries

City Auditor John d. Kurtz said
today that he had approved the pay
rolls of the Water Department which
will be paid from the receipts of that
department, withheld by the Water
Commissioners because City Council
had not paid the department. the bal
ance of the quarterly appropriation,
$4,000, due the department, when It
made the request for the money on
last Thursday night
The receipts of the Water Depart
ment during the month of April
amounted to S16,36S.6O, and the Wa
ter Board withheld $4,000 of this
amount, making a transfer to Coun-
ell of the balance, s1,36S.6O.
Mr.. Kurtz said today that all he
was interested in was whether the
Water Commission had sufficient
money i'm bank TO meet the pay
rolls.
Much interest. has been aroused by
the action of the Water Commission
ers in appropriating $4,000 to them
selves out Of their receipts to make
up that which Council should have
appropriated but failed to.
This ignoring of the financial needs
of the Water Department by the DEM
ocratic Council is part Of the Jug
Cling scheme being practiced by
Council to try to hold down its deficit
as much as possible until the end Cf
the fiscal year. June 30 With $4,000
still to the credit of Council, instead
OF being handed over to the Water
Commissioners, the Council deficit on
paper would have appeared $4,000
less than it really was. The Water
Boards action i'm Withholding $4,000
out of it's receipts from Council IN
make up for the delayed appropria-
ton, however. will not help Council
in trying to make the deficit appear
much smaller than Il is.
The Democratic financiers in Coun-
Gil also are Withholding payment of
bills for several thousand dollars N
order to make it appear that the
deficit is not so large.
