Especial from United Press.)

(SpGCldl On1CeC4 FT6SS. .
 Los Angeles, June 17-Colonel Roose- he denounced the attitude taken by General Harrison G. Otis in the Mo Namara dynamiting cases, today drew red hot editorial retort from Gen eral Otis through his paper, the Times. The editorial repeats the original Times editorial, and says:
 'If Roosevelt had been contempor- ary of Ananias, Munchausen and Men dez Pinto, those illustrious nominees would have been distanced Joseph $ many colored coat was uniform and sombre compared to the coloring of the Roosevelt political robe.
 Of all the janusfaced, cameleon- hued upright and downright fabrica- tors that ever tried the patience of of their foes, here is certainly the limit. The name Facing Both Ways is inadequate.
 ''In spite of the Grand Jury evil dence on which the McNamaras were held, the Times never made the asser- ton and does not now make the as- sertion in advance that their guilt has been established. It has demanded and still demands that they receive impartial trial before an unprejudiced jury, that every intendpent of the law be in their favor and that they be not convicted unless proven guilty beyond reasonable doubt of being the actual perpetrators, the legal particeps crim- inis or accessories before the fact of the dynamiting.
 'In a trial the State has rights as well as the accused. Roosevelt was unmindful of his unclaimed reputation of standing for @ square deaP when he rushed, unsolicited, to the defense of the suspected and indicted dynamit- CTS by doubting-not whether they committed the act charged, for that he would have a right to debut doubting if any dynamiting of the Times had been done by anybody. For that is what his if means"
