guilty of murder for Jim Mcnamara
If his brother John could go free.
Came To Terms Wednesday.
Frederick said he refnused this Off
er declaring that he had perfect
case and would accept pleas of guilty
for both men or neither. After a good
deal of sparring the defense finally
came to terms on Wednesday night.
Fredericks added that he has other
bribe money beside the four thousand
dollars 1t IS alleged he got from
Franklin, the chief investigator for
the defense The district attorney re-
fused to say how much, but when
asked If 1t were enough to pay the
fifty thousand dollars rewards offered
for the arrest of the Times dynamit-
ers, he stated the report was nearly
correct Attorney Darrow admits that
Lincoln ]. Steffens, magazine writ
er, played a prominent part in getting
the pleas of guilty. He declared that
Steffens was largely responsible for
bringing about a condition among
the business men of Los Angeles
whereby Influence was brought to
bear on Fredericks to accept the de-
fense's offer of the plea of guilty in
both cases.
Denies Arrangement for CIemency.
Judge Bordwell denies that any az
rangement for clemency has been
made, and he indicates that when the
two brothers are up for sentence
Tuesday he will sentence Jim Nc
Namara to hang II he merits 1t. Both
brothers are expected to utter pleas
for clemency at that time.

Job Hartman, the Socialist candi-
date for mayor, declared that the ar
rangement whereby the McNamaras
pleaded guilty was a political plot 10
discredit him and prevent his election

Dor. Arrests are expected when the
indianapolis federal grand jury re-

gal will plead guilty to dynamiting

DOCTOR RAMUS-It seems to me
that those engaged in promotion
work do not emphasize sufficiently
the fact that the Islands are free and
always have been free from malaria.
This is a wonderful asset in a tropi-
cal country. The fact that we have
to date been free from this scourge
is due to the absence of the mosquito
that bears and transmits the malarial
germ. Once let this speies of mos
quito get abroad in the Islands, and
malaria will break loose never to be
exterminated. The Promotion Com
mittee and others engaged in boost
ing Hawaii ought to take cognizance
of this fact, while those guarding the
health of the community should use
every endeavor to see that the ma
laria mosquito never gets a landing
on the Islands. This may be diff
cult matter, however.
