Fredericks said that Steffens saw
others OF his friends, and that finally
they came to him with a typewriter
statement of what could be done in
the way Of compromise 1t was the
Eame proposition. lie sa!d--let Jim
plead guilty. let John J. go free.
Again he turned It down. Wednesday
ef this week the last conference of the
committeeman was held. They sent
one OF their number to Fredericlss,
The district attorney told them that II
they had any influence with their
friends to keep them away. He would
not consider their proposition. Fred
ericks said he had talked the matter
ever with some of his friends. and
that thew concluded that the matter
was safe in his hands.
After the refusal to consider the

etay of the defense. came to him and
talked the matter over.

both Agree TO Plead Guilty.
On Thanksgiving night the two de-
fense attorneys again visited the dis
and the first sEreoment for tao plea OF
guilty by both men was made.
The only compromise to which Fred
ericks would agree was that John j.
Mcnamara need not plead guilty to the
GharSe OF murder. He permitted him

aamitinE the Llewellyn plant, and I'M
der the California law the penalty In
hicted for this crime may be prac-
locally life imprisonment
Attorney Clarence barrow told a
somewhat different story of the com
promise that ended the famous dyna-
hitting case. He asserted that to Stef-
feDs belonged the credit of having,
planned way by which the matter
might be preached. 1t was because
OF tho opening made by the magazine
man that barrow felt he could ap-
proach the district attorney, and be-
, cause of this opening the case finally
ended in the confession of guilt by
both men,
There was no offer to plead guilty
IN the earlier stages OF tho game No
offer was made In July. / never en-
powered any one to go to the dis
trict attorney then and suggest such
an ending to the case" said Darrow
earnestly.
barrow also denied that Larry Sui

figured In the defense side of the case,
had been told to go to the district at

truth. that they were being persecut-

Wyatt, like Gompers and other labor
leaders. refused to believe the first re-
ports of the confession last night.
Later he said he received word of 1t
that had to be believed. From abso-
lutte protested faith In the brothers,
his feeling changed to the bitterest
resentment
Il do not believe in capital punish-
ment,' Wyatt declared to-day, "but
II did. would gladly pull the rope
about the McNamaras myself I hope
they get the limit OF the legal penalty"
One aspect of the confession kent
labor men puzzling for some time.
That was the part played by Clarence

employed as counsel for the two dyna.

1t was mentioned that Monday some

away the passing touch OF Ill humer.
What sentence Will be imposed up-
on the two McNamaras will probably
not be known until Tuesday. Fred
ericks to-day stated definitely that he
had not yet determined whether to

Valentine Party

The Misses Joy Dewell, vi
Wan Smith, Marie Tamisiea,
Cecil Fitzgibbon, Louise Car
Isle, Elletta Everett, Clemen-
tine Deur, Verna Coulthard
and Frances Withrow all
proved themselves charming
hostesses Saturday evening
when they entertained twenty
friends at a Valentine Party at
the home of Miss Joy Dewell
on Eighth street. Long
streamers of red hearts were
suspended from the chandeliers
to the ends of the rooms and
hearts of different sizes were
used in decorating the windows
and between the doors. A
great deal of amusement was
furnished by the "Baby Show"
Each one was told to bring one
of their baby pictures and
everyone had to guess who
each picture was. After a
great deal of guess work on
everybody's part, Russell Ora
ham succeeded in guessing the
most correctly and he received
a baby rattle as a prize. Vari-
GUS other stunts afforded
amusement until midnight
when small tables were brought
in and an elegant three course
supper served, Mrs. Carlisle,
Mrs. Dewell and Miss Turner
assisting. Little red boxes in
heart shapes, filled with candy,
were given as favors.
Another very enjoyable fea-
ture of the party was the pass
ing of various packages which
each one wanted to get rid off.
The guests had each one
brought something from home
that they wanted to get rid Of
and after exchanging for ter
minutes, the packages were
opened and all conceivable ar.
ticles were discovered. 1t was
a very late hour when the
crowd dispersed but not until
everyone declared "they surely
had the time of their young
lives"

for loans, he is said to have
asked for references and an in

The Way Out.

The Republicans sin the Iowa
Legislature, seem tobe unequal
to the task of electing q United
States Senator, frsm among
their own members, We think
perhaps a good way out of the
present "dead lock-" would be
to drop all their candidates be-
fore that body, and unite upon
Hon. Claud r. Porter, a man
who comes nearer to represen-
ting the whole people of Iowa
than any man whose name is
before the Legislature as a can
didate for that high position.
If this course could be adop-
ted, Mr.. Porter would, no doubt
meet the just expectation of
the people of Iowa, and honor
the people by a faithful and
able discharge of duty. If his
politics does not agree with ths
majority of the members OF the
combind republican party, it
does agree with a majority of
the members if his party could
secure a union with eiJher wing
of the republican party as it
now stands in the State. Under
present party conditions, would
it not have a tendency to heal
the unpleasant condition now
existing in the G. @. p, to give
them a rest, and let the Demo
Gratis take the responsibility of
office for a season. We only
suggest this action in the in
terest of the Republican party,
and hope the leaders may see
it in it's true light and act ac-
cordingly. D. NJ. H.

A few days ago certain Iowa
papers had loud headlines an
nouncing that Senator Young
had rushed to Washington "To
Rescue the Iowa Farmers from
Ruin Threatened in the Cana
dian Reciprocity Treaty." Pos
sibly some people believed at
the time he did actually 90
there on that account, but if
so they all know better now.
It is a fact that he rushed to
Washington and was there for
a few hours, just long enough
to cast his vote for the ship
subsidy bill, and then he rushed
back to Des Moines. Ii he had
not reached WASH, ston at
exactly the time he Oh the in
famous steal under the ruise of
ship subsidy would have been
defeated, for the vote was a tie
and decided by the vice presi-
dent. 1t is reasonable to con.
clude that Senator Young rush
ed to Washington not to rescue
the farmers from reciprocity
and ruin, for there was no
prospect for a vote on that
question, but to rescue the
".ship trust" from defeat in
their effort to rob the Iowa
farmers Of millions of dollars.
The Iowa farmers would re-
ceive some benefit from SUBJ
sidising railroads for they are
doing business with them, but
so far as the shipping combine
is concerned whatever is given
it, is just so much Of a loss.
The farmers who are just now
so dear to Senator Young are
smart enough to see clear thro'
that terrific rushing to Wash
ftgaon and will let him know
it when the time comes. Ga

The following sensible remark
we copy from the Clarinda Her
aid, and think the suggestion
worthy of serious consideration.
eff the legislature will drop
the idea of spending a lot Of
money FOR the alleged purpose
of advertising the good quail
ties of Iowa and spend the mon
ey in the Short Course Insti-
tute' as proposed in the bill pro.
posed by Mr.. Stipe, it will mean
something for Iowa. The first
proposition is for the benefit of
a set of fellows who loaf around
Des Moines and is calculated to
give that city about all the ben
efits to be derived from the dis
tribution of the money while
the second proposition is calcu-
lated to be a benefit to every
county in the State. The one
is graft pure and simple, while
the other is business. Nov is
the time for the people to So sak
out and insist that their M ney
be spent in such a way as to
give them value received for
their money. Iowa does not
need any booster advertising
but it does need q better train
ing of the young people who
a ~e to operate the farms"

Making a Steel Automobile.
Charles A. Longman was in
the office last week and told us
-ofsan invention he is working
on. He proposes to make a
steel automobile wheel, one
that will not require pneuma-
tic tire, which is the principal
item of expense in operating
the present type of machine.
The improved wheel will be- pro
videdwithsprings in the spokes
to takeup the shocksof rough no
ads andbad going and as the ire
ad ofthe wheel will be rough so
that there will be the necess ity
for chains in going OIL slippery
surfaces.iWe see no reason why
this wheel Of Mr.. Longman's
will not be a success. He has
made arrangements to have
the wheels tried out on a car
just as soon as he has a pair
completed. Something of the
kind will be welcomed by auto
mobile users, though it IS to be
expected that the makers of
rubber tires will not be enthus,
iastic in recommending the use
of such improvements. -Obser-

Hanford Crawford, of st.
Louis: The Methodist book
concern is a wonderful institu-
ton. 1t was founded 1876
years ago with a capital of
5000, and it now has a capital
of 81, 100000. During all these
years it has never had the
slightest symptom of financial
difficulty. The articles of dis
cipline of the church provide
that the proceeds of the book
concern cannot be touched for
any other purpose than to car
ry on the business itself, and
for the benefit of the superan-
nuated ministers and their Wild
ows and orphans. Many mill
ions of dollars have been dis
tributed during the 125 years
to the veteran ministers and
their relatives. The book COM
mittee is the natural fiscal
agent of the church. 1t has
become the rule that whenever
the general church conference
orders any new enterprise in
the new church which involves
expenses for which no particu-
lar treasury has been created,
it falls to the book concern to
get that money from the
church and pay the bills.
The Nonpareil says: "The
house of representatives at
Washington has turned down
the report of a republican COM
mittee on reapportionment in
favor of maintaining the house
membership at 39l and voted
to increase the membership to
433. This will leave the repre-
sentation in Iowa as at present
as we'll as in other states. The
democrats combined with a part
of the republicans in the move
ment to increase the member
ship. In their judgment, the
eve of a prospective democratic
accession to power was a NIGH
ty poor time to ruduce the mum
