PROPOSITIONS
Between Rough Rider and
President, It is War; with
Black Flag Flying in Every
State in Union

[By Morning Jonrna' rpccis' Seas~A Wire
Washington, July 17.-President
Taft will fight Colonel Roosevelt and
leaders of the third party movement
for every presidential elector who
runs on a republican ballot under the
presidents name. The fight viii be
carried into every state where third
party leaders hope to have republi-
can electors vote for Mr. Roosevelt.
Regular republicans in touch with the
president win begin a campaign to
make sure electors voted for on the
republican ticket will stand by that
ticket in the electoral college.
Suggestions of compromise. said to
have been taken to the White House,
got no hearing from the president. He
made it plain today to delegation
of South Dakota men that he would
listen to nothing of that kind. He
believes that the men who appear on
and are voted for on republican bal
lots are bound to vote for the repub-
lican nominee.
No plan Of action has been devised
in states like South Dakota, Maryland
and Pennsylvania, where Roosevelt
laeders have expressed the view that
the electors now on the republican
ticket would line up for the colonel,
but callers who talked with Mr. Taft
today We're convinced he would fight
the plan to the end.

Older Tells in DarIow Case of
Agreement Entered Into Be-
tween representatives Of IN
tereStS.
WITNESS DISCLOSES
INNER SECRETS


Los Angeles, July l3-The original
agreement between representatives. OF
labor and capital in Los Angeles. by
which the Mcnamara case was TO bo
ended forever, was disclosed in de-
tail BY Fremont Older, editor of the
SAN Francisco Bulletin. who took the
stand today for the defense in the
bribery trial Of Clarence $. barrow.
The introduction Of this testimony
was permitted by Judge Hutton on the
showing OF the defense that 1t would
prove u lack of motive on the part OF
barrow for the bribery of Juror
George n. Lockwood. but the ruling
was made only after the greater part
of the days session had been con-
sumed by argument. The original
agreement. as outlined by Older. con-
templated the pleading Of guilty by
James II. Mcnamara and the fixing of
his punishment at life imprisonment.
For this the prosecution not only was
to dismiss all other cases growing out
of the dynamiting of the Los Angeles
Times building, including that OF John
j. Mcnamara. but to destroy all evi-
dence then in possession Of the prose-
cution. Another clause in the agree
ment was to the effect that repre-
sentatives of Los Angeles capital We're
to organize the labor unions.
The question had arisen, Witness
said, OF the unwillingness of District
Attorney Fredericks 10 consent to the
dsinissn. OF the charge AGAINST John
J Mcnamara and II had been agreed
by Mr. Darrow that II the prosecution
insisted upon It, "J j. also would be
thrown TO the wolves rather than con-
tinue the trial.
Just before adjournment Juror M.
II. Williams asked the witness:
"Dld you know at that time that the
McNamaras were guilty3"
"Well. | had no definite or legal
knowledge that they We're, but | as
sumed So" was the reply.
Here Juror l.. A. Levitt broke in:
"What ala YOU mean by throwing
j. i. TO the wolves?" Did YOU rccom-
mend that one 80 free ana the other
be punished, knowing both were
guilty"
The witness explained his attitude
by saying, AN eye Tor an eye ana u
tooth for a tooth" He thought justice
could be satisfied without taking any
more human lives.
The witness said a conference was
held between the prosecution and tho
defense ana others when it was de-
cidcd j. j. Mcnamara must be pun
ished.
"What was my attitude?' asked Dar-
row.
"Wcll, you declared that you were
to save the lives OF these
men.
The witness said that at this time
he was told nothing had been said

prop sed agreement

Iohn H. Harrington tomorrow morn
ng but hc did not disclose his rea-
IONS for desiring the presence of the
