Big ISSUE RESTS
With THE JUDGE
IMPORTANT POINT RAISED IN Sc
LECTING JURY.
Defense Claims That Belief in Dyna'
mite Theory Of Times Disaster is
Sufficient Prejudice.

Los Angeles, Oct 1S.-Three tales
men we're examined and one was e2-
cused in the murder trial of James
B. Mcnamara today.
What is considered one Of the big
issues of the trial-whether a man
who believes firmly that the Los An
geles Times building was destroyed
by dynamite is thereby disqualified
from serving on the jury-rested to-
night in the hands of Judge Walter
Brodwell, who presides over the trial
Instituted to show whether J. B. NC
Namara caused the death of G. j..
Haggerty, a machinist who lost his
life in the Times explosion and ire.
Opposing counsel see no hopes OF
securing a jury until this point is de-
cided.
Claim It's Prejudice.
Clarence S. Barrow and other eoun-
sci for the defense, holding that the
Times explosion was caused by gas
and that Mcnamara could not have
brought it about for this reason argued
today in court that a fixed belief Id
the dynamite theory prejudiced the
rights of their clienka and that the tales
man who held it should not be a juror.
District Attorney Fredericks for the
State compared the situation to the
case of a burned barn which is OF
record. &.
"A man believing that the barn was
burned, yet having no opinion as TO
whether the defendant burned it,. was
allowed to serve as a juror" he said
"similarly a talesman may believe
that the Times building was destroy
ed by dynamite and still have :: nc
opinion in mind regarding the defend
ant in the case, as these men say they
have" :' = ..;a
Verbal Clash.
els this your idea of a fair juror?
! Mr.. Darrow asked Mr.. Fredericks af-
ter Otto A. lesson had testified that
he believed the Times was dynamiteo
by members or officers of trades I'M
! ions and that he thought he had q
prejudice against unions, but had nc
prejudice toward Mcnamara himself.
[ 'It certainly is," replied Freder1cks
"Well, I like your idea of fairness,
said Mr.. Darrow.
Judge Bordwell interrupted and or
dered the examination 70 proceed.
Charles D. Chaffee, the man excus
ed, was challenged for cause because
! his name was not on the Los Angeles
county assessment roll.
George W. Mckee, the other mar
challenged, had the dynamite expo
sion theory, but expressed no animus
toward union labor.
Had No Prejudice.
Edward F. Decker, Landscape
gardener, said he hac 10 prejudice
against the prisoner when questioned
by Mr.. DarroW.
"You could give a fair verdict?
asked Attorney Darrow.

"You wouldn't be afraid OF any dis
favor of the public?'

MRS. TILLMAN LOST
HER $4,000 SUIT

Edgefeld, Oct. 18.-Judge MemInlng-
er granted a non-surt in the case
brought by Mrs. Lucy Dugas T1llman
against her husband, B. R. Tillman,
Jr., to recover $4,000.
Mrs. Tillman alleged in her com
plaint that moneys approximating this
sum had been paid her husband and
that he did not properly account tor
them to her. The non-suit was order
ed on the ground that the proof was
at variance with the allegations of the
COMPLAINT. No fraud was alleged IN
the complaint.
Owing to the prominence of the
plaintiff and defendant, the case has
attracted considerable attention. Mrs
Tillman was represented by DePass &
DePass and S. MEG. Simkins, and the
defendant by Grier & Park and H. C.
Tillmar.

With the present price of cotton and

subtract SIS or $50 from every bale

get almost any thing in Our town ex-

fine, the water is far above the aver
age. We have four splenG1d physicians,

not need a cemetery.

COLLEGE GIRLS BEST MATES.
Marry Late in Life and See Things in
Soberer Light.

Boston Dispatch to New York World.
That only a small percentage OF COL
lege girls ever figure in the divorce
court is the contention of Miss Angle
C. Chaplin, acting dean OF Wellesley
college. "They get married late in
life," said Miss Chaplin. "They know
their own wants and they do not get
married rashly.
ct believe that most college women
marry about the age Of %, or perhaps
somewhat later than that. The course
at college carries a girl rather we'll
through the childish PERIOD the Pc
riod when mere fascination might
play as large a part. Once this Pc
riod is over the girl gains poise and
sense: she becomes more serious; she
loses the frivolity that many young
gizls possess; she sees things in a
scsarer light, and feels more acutely
the sense of responsibility that. every
prospective wife and mother should
have. .'U>tt; H. -. a!.A::..z
"of course there are college girls
and collge girls; and the environment
has a great influence on the girl her
self and on her conduct in life.
I'm the light of figures that the
Smith alumnae recently brought forth
it seems plainly evident that college
training gives girl that force OF
| character and stability Of tempera-
ment which makes her look upon dl-
| vorce as nonexistent and undesirable,
perhaps unnecessary.
"a great many girls get married at
a time when they understand far too
little of the duties or wife and moth
er. They enter into the most serious
contract of their lives in haste, with
| out due consideration, without a 'rea-
lization of its Importance either to
them or to others.
'The woman OF 25 who is married to
a man of her own age will usually Sc
lect one suited to her temperament
for at that age she will have discover
ed lust what her own nature is and
what it requires. 4, rs, also, the girl
will not be desirous of making vain
conuuests, nor will she be over ex-
travagant in dress, nor will she be as
frivolous as her younger sister,"

TEDDY WILL PLAY
WALKING PART
EX.PRESIDENT TO BE SlLENI
THROUGHOUT CAMPAIGN.
In Letter to Waterways Convention
Colonel Expresses Desire to Say
Nothing During Coming Fight.

Richmond, Va, Oct. 18.-The part
which Col. Theo. Roosevelt former
president, will take in the coming ma
tional campaign will be one of silence,
it became publicly known today
through a letter which he wrote to
CONGRESSMAN J. Hampton Moore, OF
Pennsylvania, president Of the Allan
tic Deeper Waterways association, de-
clining the honor of addressing the
association at it's convention here
Col. Roosevelt emphatically declared
From now on + wish to avoid max
ing any speeches that possibly can
avoid"
Concluding his letter Mr.. Roosevelt
said:
"I can not undertake anything fur
ther of any kind or sort now"
These portions of the colonels let
ter were taken by the waterways dele
gates to mean that he wishd to re-
frain from giving utterance to any
opinions which possibly might be mis-
construed in connection with the pres
idential campaign. No other mean
ing could be deduced from his refusa
to be speaker at the waterways con
vention. It is apparent from the col
onel's letter that he intends to re
main silent through the entire cam
paign, which already has begun witt
President Taft's swing around the cir
Gle through the West.
The letter to President Moore be
gins with Col. Roosevelt saying:
Il wish it were possible for m!
friends to realize my position, not 10
nv own sake, but because then the.
would understand just why it is tina
I can not accept all the inVltatlon'
which come to me-"
He greatly appreciated the invita-
ton, and was very sorry he could no
attend. = ~

WEST JORDAN PLANT
WEARS COMPLETION
By Its Use City Will Be Pro
tected in Case of Severe
Storms.

Representing an approximate outlay Of
$500. 900, the new Jordan steam reserve
power station Of the Utah Light & Rail-
way company is receiving the finishing
touches and will be officially turned over
TO the corporation within a week.
O. \. Honnold, the company's electri-
cal engineer, said yesterday that the plant
was now In shape for satisfactory serv-
ice, only a few minor details remaining
10 be attended to.
This plant. which is located a { Eleventh
West and South Temple Streets on the
banks of the Jordan river. Is a model one
of its kind. and is fully adequate TO
care for the company's needs in case of
any emergency, however great. that may
put the power transmission lines out Of
commission.
The plant has a capacity normally Of
l3 900 horsepower. which can easily be
raised to 4.000-horscpower.
At a recent test IL carried without
trouble the full city electric service. in
Guiding both power and light, and still
had a large reserve.
This makes ii certain that in case OF
storms in the mountains, where electrical
disturbances sometimes destroy the trans
mitters. or of high winds which have
heretofore pros,rated the wires. the city
will without delay receive its accus-
toned light and power service.
