M'NAMARA BROTHERS
 LOST ID THE WORLD
Each of Dynamiters Has Been Put to Work at Jute Mill in San
 Quentin.

SAN QUENTIN. Dec. 11.-John J. and James B. McNamara. their identity lost under numetricals as convicts 25,- 3l4 and 25,315 respectively bent their freshly cropped heads and striped backs over a jute mill in san Quentin prison today. They began their pris- on labOrs as dutiful prisoners should. although J. J. appeared to take less interest in the prison scenes than dii his brother. J J. may continue at the jute mill indefinitely. while J. E. may be given a lighter task if he be found to be tubercular, for which he will be examined in a few days.
 The prisoners were aroused from their first nights sleep in the prison a. 6 o'clock this morning by clang ing bell in the corridor. At 6:45 they became part of d serpentine-like line formed by 1900 men in stripes and marched to the mess hall. There they tasted d prison breakfast of boiled beans. cornmeal mush and coffee. The jute mill opened for work at A. NJ. J. E. was the more cheerful of the two and began to pick up acquaintances yesterday so as to obtain points on prison discipline and routine. J. J devoted himself yesterday to a careful study of the prison rules to which are given all prisoners on entering the prison and this caused officials to say evidently the men hope to act as mod e prisoners with the view of reward in the future

''I am not seeking immunity and there is no reason for me to come through. Authorities can get any thing from this office through legal means. but nothing has been given out or taken by force since the raiJ on this office last April when John J McNamara was arrested and d mass of our records seized" Letters taken from iron workers headquarters will be used. it is said. in the federal grand jury's inquiry into allegations that groups of men in many cities were inn plicated with John J. and J.

eleventh hour canards published or otherwise put afloat by Hunts tools
 The publication of the charge against Van Dyke. who is not a can didate for any office. but who has been and is working for the success of the republican ticket. was prob ably done for the purpose of bolster ing up the dropping spirits of the MaricOpa county democrats. who have become desperate by their losses of prestige during the past few days and the certainty that they will lose the county today
 It is of a piece with the unwarrant ed charge made by Brady O'Neill at the Ashurst meeting Saturday night and printed by an evening paper to the effect that Ralph Cameron. dur ing the crucial time of the statehood fight in congress last August was so drunk for four days as to be unable to be in his seat in congress or in his office in the congressional office building.
 Van Dyke is not a candidate but Cameron is. Van Dyke is a total ab- stainer and Cameron is very abstem- ious. The attacks on both were ma licious, calculated in the one case to irjure the party as a whole by creat- ing the impression that one of the most valiant fighters in the party ranks had quit; and in the other to create a prejudice against the man attacked. Both attacks will fall flat of course and reference is made to them simply for the purpose of show ing to what depths the Hunts. Ash ursts and O'Neills will descend with the hope of securing a point

The charge made by Brady O'Neill at the Ashurst meeting Saturday night that during the thickest of the state hood fight in Washington last Augus' Ralph Cameron was so drunk for four days that he was utterly oblivious of what was going on and published in an evening paper was repeated to Mr. Cameron at Bisbee last night
 In view of the fact that I don't drink it seems hardly necessary for me to deny that statement" was Mir Cameron's reply. But if you think it should be denied in face of O'Neilrs challenge you may deny it and make the denial as strong as the newspapers will stand for" I am not surprised at any charge which O'Neill might make in view of the fight he has made against me all summer. but l am sur prised that he would think that a charge of the kind. made the night be- fore election. would be believed.
 If you think d denial is advisable under the circumstances make it as strong as you care to and see MT. Z1tLdu A0dllltIOl = Sttl tNdi anu others now in Phoenix who were in Washington during the statehood fight"

An evening paper published last night dispatch addressed to Chair man Birdno of the democratic state central committee and signed by Le- roy A Ladd. editor of G. w P. Hunts paper at Globe, to the effect that Cleve w. Van Dyke. publisher of the Globe Silver Belt. which has been supporting the republican ticket, had abandoned the fight as hopeless, had denounced the republican candidates and campaign managers and to cap the climax became so drunk that his friends tried to get him to a hotel, spree.
 The dispatch was repeated to the Silver Belt and drew from MT. Van Dyke the following:
 GLOBE, Ariz.. Dec. 11.-Ladd's s story that I was or am drunk is un- true and absurd. I never was drunk in my life. as all my friends know and I am rather inclined toward the other extreme. I am working heartily for the success of the ticket here. Gila county will roll up a good mo- jority for the republicans The state ment that I have quit the fight is false in every particular. Ladd didn't dare publish the story in his paper here. The statement is a vicious false bod and indicates the desperate straits the opposition finds themselves in.
