War Veteran Relates His
 Experience to Public
Bridgeport, Conn.

Bridgeport. Conn.
 The specialists of The Approved Formula Company, who are introduc- ing "Tona Vita," the new tonic, to Bridgeport people, continued to give their hve-minute demonstration" certainly a novel method of testing a medicine and are proving very suc- cessful
 A hundred or more people. who were given the medicine yesterday, and five minutes later asked what effect it he in their case, all replied that they Ina d been benefited, and most of them eX- pressed astonishment
 Among the callers yesterday was an old soldier, veteran of the Cfvil War, who said that he had been run down, nervous and debilitated fer years, and that he had, at last found something that would actually benefit him. The immediate effect of the medicine had astonished him, and he said that he would publicly indorse the preparation. A
 The specialists are entirely confident the medicine will prove as successful in this country as in Europe, and pre- dict tremendous success for it in Bridgeport. The specialists who dis cussed this said: Without a ques- ton no preparat tion like this has ever been sold in America, and I prophecy that no preparation. will approach this in volume of sales once it is es- tablished here. There is just as much nervous debility, in this country as abroad. and 'Tona Vita will make full Iy as great a record here as the orig inal did in Europe. That medicine has been, and is, used by kings, dukes. fcardinals,-in fact. by the greatest per sonages in Europe. We are talking with great many people each day h1If in number will be materially increased.
 Every man or woman who has been afflicted with chronic nervous debility who tries 'Tona Vita will be- come walking advertisement for the medicine, and that sort of thing spreads like wild-fire. Anyone who has been half-sick, all the time, with almost no vitality or energy,a constant sufferer from deSpondency, stomach trouble, weak back, headaches and a dozen other troubles, caused by debil- ity is sure to tell about 1t when they buOyant spirits sound digestion and general good health. het"Tona Vita sale and demon strations are taking place at Jennie HamfltQn'sss Pharmacy. where the specialists will meet all callers and expain the nature of their preparation from 9! a. m.

Nor does the public realize the symptoms of this modern plague when they see them. Most of the .so-called kidney trouble, nearly all indigestion and fully half of the headaches in Bridgeport can be attributed solely to nervous debility.

suffer punishment.
 "The first propositions from those interested in the defense were that James B. McNamara should change on condition that he should not be sentenced to death. and that his brother should go free, The district attorney would not agree.
 Afterwards em1ssar1es from the defense brought to the district attor- ney the proposition that James B. McNamara would plead guilty and be sentenced to death if the court so ordered, provided that his brother should be saved. But the district attorney still would not agree.
 Those interested in the defense continued to urge his acceptance of the last proposition for ten days or more and until the bribery develop ments revealed the desperation of the defense and paralyzed the effort to save J. McNamara by sacrificing his brother. Then it was that the change of the pleas of these men was forth coming. s .-~k- 't. :
 'sThe motion broached in the Stef- fens article that the McNamaras iI1 the commission of the crimes as con fessed by, them are two heroes, IS of fensive to common intelligence ana repellant to the conscience of all just men-to say nothing of the abhor- renee of the law for such sentiment, and I am confident that the district attorney was not influenced by any such sentiment in considering the proposal that the defendants should withdraw their pleas of not guilty.
 .sUpon the entries of the pleas or guilty both defendants placed them- selves upon the mercy of the court and the responsibility-sole and un- divided-devolved upon the court to determine the punishment. That some mitigation of the extreme penaltles demandab1e by < the outraged law might be expected in consequence or the change of pleas in these cases, is in accordance with the principle commonly. accepted in the admlnls- ration of. criminal jurisprudence.
 ' ssThat expectation has not been dls- anpointed. in these cases. At the same time the duty of the court ln fixing the penalties in these cases would have been unperformed had IL been swayed in any degree, by the hypothetical policy favored by Mr. Steffens (who by the way, is a pro- fessed anarchist), that the. judgment of the court should be directed to the promotion of compromise In the controversy between capital and labor ts
 s'The lesson taught by. the cases IS that the law. must be vigorously en- forced against all offenders-whethe CT they be rich or poor, high or low canitalists or laborers-and that only hv obedience to the law can society he maintained or it's blessings en- Joyed."

BRIBERY CASES
 BROUGHT CRISIS
Judge Bordwell Indignantly Re- flutes SteffenS Claim in Mo-
 Namara Cases

Los Angeles, Cal, Dec. 6.-Judge -walter Bordwell has issued a formal statement, giving his views as to the McNamara trial and especially what brought about its termination. The statement follows:
 "In a spirit of indifference to ev- erything in the McNamara cases, save the facts and the law applicable thereto, I deer1 1t due to the country and to this community that should make a brief public statement re- gardlng the circumstances attending the abrupt close of these cases, to- gether with sufficient comment to in dicate my views as to such circum-. stances. This is done in the hope of captions due to erroneous publ1ca- tfons and particularly to an article which appeared in 8 local newspaper on the 22nd inst. over the signature of Lincoln Steffene.
 rIn the first place, the claim or suggestion that the termination of the case was due to the efforts of himself and other outsiders who un- dertook to influence the officers of the court--otller than the judge-is without Justification in fact.
 ger also wish to denounce the claims of that gentleman and of other per sons for him, that the change of pleas from not guilty to guilty was due tos his efforts as groundless and un- true. He is correct in the statement fiiat the court was not a party to any. negotiations for what he terms . scompromise' of these cases. but there Is no ground for any claim that he induced tre prosecution to come for an agreement in the matter. The district attorney acted entirely with out regard to MT. Steffens and on lines decided upon before the latter appeared on the scene.
 sAs to the defense, the public can rely on it that the developments of last week as to the bribery and at tempted bribery of jurors in the Jau1es B. McNamara case were the \ efficient cause of the change of pleas which suddenly brought. these cases

What Jewish Farmers in This
 Vicinity Are Accomplishing

In response to Poultney Bigelow's criticism of Jewish farmers in the State of Connecticut, in which MT. Bigelow intimated that the farms are deteriorating because no longer work. ed by native stock, the New York Herald is conducting an investigation, the general trend of which is strongly against MT Bigelow's remarks
 The Herald sent special representa- tives through this region, who found that "the flourishing farms, the cosey homesteads, and the general air of prosperity through the communities visited certainly did not bear out MT. Bigelow's contention"
 In this connection The Herald today publishes an interview with Attorney Charles H. nRiro of this city, as

WHAT GAMBLERS PAY
FOR THEIR PROTECTION

CHICAGO, Nov. Charges
that Chicago gamblers kept fund
on hand of $4,000 for use in
easing up public officials" were
made by Harry Brolaski, former
gambler, before the civil service
commission yesterday in its inves-
tigation of public gambling and vice
Brolasko said he came to Chicago
last May at the request of Ben
Hyman and other friends with the
intention of investigating gambling
and cleaning up the city. He said
he found Chicago wide-open town
and that gambling was conducted
by Monte Tennes, Tom McGinnis
and others.
Brolaski testified that the follow
amounts were paid by gamblers and
resort keepers in the First ward for
protection:
All-night saloons, $50 month.
All-night saloons having music,
SIS a month

HE HANDED THEM ONE.

Sam Davis, who joshed his way
into office and joshed himself out
again, jollied the Reno Journal
management into printing a lurid
report of an oil discovery down in
the Timber Lake region, and just
to lend the story color Sam gave
it out that the gusher was on fire.
The story was printed in Mondays
issue, the news probably having
gone in after a round of gin rickies
had found their way into Sans
anatomy. Sam is certainly an oily
tongued old cuss, and the Journal
shouldn't fall for any more of his
jokes.
OF course, everybody in this val
ley wants to see oil discovered. And
there is some reason to believe that
flowing wells may be developed by
drilling to the usual depth. But

new GROUNDS
FOR CHALLENGE
WERE FOUND
DEFENSE ASSERTS ANTI-UNION
FEELING Is SUFFICIENT
FOR PROTEST.

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 23 Three
men were challenged and one ex-
cused at the Mcnamara trial yester-
day. Decision concerning the other
two was reserved. Lyman f. ia
cobus, bank clerk, was excused,
as he said he feared he could not
give the defendant fair trial, as
he believed the Times was blown
up by the McNamaras.
Attorney Darrow, for the defense,
argued that prejudice against labor
unions is ground for challenge.
"The theory in this case" he said,
"is that the Times was blown up by
dynamite and that the labor unions
did it,"
District Attorney Fredericks
sprang to his feet. The theory
of this case is that the defendant
murdered Chas j. Haggerty, he
shouted and by blowing up the
Times building" interiected Attor
ney Darrow.
The tilt was taken to indicate the
relative attitude of the state and de-
fense at the forthcoming trial. An
other question was raised by Attor-
Iney Davis for the defense, when he
declared a juror who read the
Times account of the explosion and
subsequent matter about union la
Dor, had direct information, the
same as if he had heard me talking
to another man." and his reading
