Passing of the pxnamI,srs

The case is not yet closed. be- Iieye that never since the Civil wal has the United States passed throug such a crisis as was involved in this tremendous case. l believe that this trial and the ultimate results will mark the passing o1 the bludgeoa, the walking delegate and the dynamiter from the ranks of union labor. If this happens, as l am confident 1t will labor will have cleansed itself and untold good will follow.'
 Late In the afternoon Oscar Law Ter, appointed today to act as spe eial prosecutor for the government m it's instigation of the alleged dyna miting conspiracies, talked at length with District Attorney Fredericks and members of his staff Books and pa. pers and details of evidence in the McNamara case was o.a a table before them.
 
 States district attorney. joined them for short time When he returned to his office. it was said the Aub- poenaes were drawn for the appear. ance of the McNamara brothers be fore the federal grand jury which ad jouyned today until Thursday. They may be served tomorrow

 The district attorney indicated that 1t was customary to ask the occups ton of the defendants.
 The brothers were again asked tc rise.
 James B. said he hoped his trade was printing" and John J. said structural iron worker"
 The prosecuting attorney reminded the court that 1t had 90 days in which to make report on the criminal character of the prisoner for the prIs on officers and the proceedings were over.
 The prisoners were led quickly back to the jail by Sheriff Hammell and around the table where counsel had been seated. the spectators gather ed, some congratulating the prescott. ing attorney.
 Clarence 5. Darrow, chief counse' for the defendants, sat isl silence throughout the proceedings. At the end he rose and with his associates followed the sheriff to the jail to con sole the prisoners.
 Eis his office in the hall of records District Attorney Fredericks later discussed the case. The age of John J. McNamara, as given by himself on the jail records, was 5i years, it was suggested and sentence of fir teen years, which nine years and two months on good behaivor, would bring the prisoners age to only 43 years.
 Well. l didn't fix the number ot years" said MT. Fredericks, but - suppose the court took into account John J. McNamara's apparent age. which certainly seems like 47 years In fact 1 always have had the i'm piSssiOh NhHt hc "d5 thdt oiu- Altcf nine years aa the state prison he will be an old man.
 Some of the statements from un ion labor leaders repudiating tn, McNamaras are sincere and some are not,p AIr. Fredericks continued. Some of the men who are making the loud. est public utterances are implic, in the dynamiting outrages for whica these men were sentenced today. "-As for John J. McNamara think there is nothing that he knows con eerning this case which do not know. 1t is not necessary for i'm to make any further statement.

 The defendant paused and seemed to lose his composure. Finally he spoke.
 "Eo. your Honor no sir,
 You did not?"
 No sir"
 ''There is very little, or no ray of comfort, Mir. MeNainaraa, centinu- ed Judge Bordwell, in the assertion by you that you did not intend to de stroy life. The widows and orphans and the bereaved parents will look on that statement at this time as n mockery The circumstances are Q :gsai,st yon in making any such claim. A man who would put 16 sticks Of so per cent dynamite in building full of explosives, q do not now re- fer to the explosives Of which you may have had no knowledge, | really mean combustihle materiall 1 say that a man who under these circumstances who would place dynamite charge of that quantity in such building, when you, as a printer, knew thai gas was burning in many places, anu in which you knew there were scoreA of human beines toiling must hav. had no regard whatever for the live. Of his fellow beings. He must have been a murderer at heirt.
 'You well merit the maximum puA- ishment prescribed by law"
 The prisoner qniverei and his heau dropped. He twisted his fingers in his hands behind hlm, and then lifted his head again.
 That the judgment of the court does not commit you to death on the gallows is due to the existence of no extenuating circumstances whatever, but because it appears to the court the part of wisdom to do otherwise.
 ''It is the judgment of the court that as a punishment for the crime of murder in the first degree to which you have pleaded guilty. you shah be confined n the state penitentiary of this state. at San Quentin for and during your natural life. You may be seated.5
 Apparently relieved as much as one could be with life sentence con fronting him, the prisoner sat down beside his brother, who then arose.

PAYMENT FOR HILL
SIOUX INDIANS, FOLLOWING Ac-
TON TAKEN LAST SPRING,
SEEK PAYMENT FOR LAND.
OTHER ITEMS OF INTEREST
From the Capital City, the Various
State Institutions and Off
fcrent Parts Of the
state.

Pierre AT a meeting held at Cher
ry Greek last spring, an attempt was
made by some Of the leading Sioux
TO perfect an organization. which had
for its purpose the securing from the
general government, payment for the
Black Hills territory which was open
ed to settlement in 1876 The Sioux
claim that the right to 20 into the
Black Hills was never admitted by the
Sioux, and that whites were allowed to
go into the territory under a treaty
which was signed by only a few of the
chiefs. While they have no idea what
ever that the territory will ever be re-
stored to them, they are after cash
payment For the furtherance of this
effort meeting was held at Lower
Brule reservation on the tenth of this
month, at which all the bands of Sioux
were asked to send representatives,
to further complete the organization
for the purposo of pushing their
claims. The government contention
is that even IL the whites were adj
mitted into shat country without the
consent of a majority of the Sioux,
that defect was cured in the treaty Of
1889, by which the territory between
the Missouri liver and the Black Hills
was opened to settlement and in the
same treaty the. opening of the Black
Hills section was ratified. But the
leaders among the reds believe they
have case, and want to- make a
test Of the claim in the courts.
