for the ending of the Mcnamara trial.
He asked the witness why no pub
licity was given the negotiations, Stef-
fens replied that their objection
would be misunderstood.
Subsequently, he said, this had been
proved by the manner in which the
country had received the news. He
was certain that publicity before
hand would have resulted in failure of
the plan.

Didn't you say during the campaign
here that if there was an anarchist
running against Job Hartman, the
socialist, that you would vote for the
anarchist?"
Above the storm of objections rails

that he had said something like that
and asked to explain.
The district attorney did not want
to let the witness explain his answer

tell no tales, is today being brought
closer to the police system"
William Shapiro, part owner of the
murder car" is giving the public

ems the belief that the slayer of Ro-
senthal did not spring from the en-
nifty of gamblers. Shapiro admits
that when the motor car was engag-

Shapiro is willing to tell more of
the circumstances that led up to the

London, July 19.-The atrocities
committed in the Putumayo Rubber
district of Peru, which universally
have been characterized here as sur
passing in horror any charged to the
rubber collectors of the Congo, ap-
parently will be kept in the lime
light until something is done to pm
ish the perpetrators and to bring
about the assurance that there will
be no repitition.
Questions were launched at the
British foreign office in the house OF
commons today and from the replies
it was apparent the foreign office ex-
poets to take a subordinate place to
the department of state at Washing
ton in bringing Peru to book.
Washington, July 19.-Correspond-
ence between the state department
and the British government looking
to the suppression of atrocities prac-
ticed upon natives in the Puyumayo
rubber country indicate that the two
governments are in perfect accord.

to unseat Representative Theron E.
Catlin of ST. Louis and to seat former

The prosecution withdrew its OBJ
lection to an explanation.
Referring to the so-called peace me-
gotiations, Steffens said that during
his meetings with the citizens com.
mittee, he had never intimated that
j. ]. Mcnamara would plead guilty.
Did you know then that the Nc
Namaras We're guilty." asked the dis
trict attorney.
"Yes, learned the third day after
got here. l called on John ]. Nc
Namara and l learned it from him in
directly
Then, knowing a man was guilty,
You tried to have him go free?"
Yes, because the crime was not an
individual but a social crime-a revo-
lutionary and not a legal crime in
which a great mass of people was in-
volved."
The witness said that he believed
ko would be justified in helping men
latter they had committed such
crimes.
In all my talks with the McNa-
maras.' he said, Il urged upon them
that labor was going at it in the
wrong way just as capital was-that
violence was wrong"
! Asked whether he would go to the
extent of bribing jurors in assisting
men accused of social crimes, Steffens
declared with a smile: NO sir, my
feelings toward bribery are just the
same as they are toward murder or
Eribing legislatures"
Fredercks questioned the witness
closely as to the status of the negO-
tiations On Thanksgiving day, two
days after Franklin was arrested.

asked Mr.. Chandler to go to the dist

order that the plans for the citizens

FIGHT is MADE
ON army MEN

Washington, d. c., July 19.-Oppo-
sition has developed in the senate 70
the confirmation of Clarence B. Ed
wards as brigadier general, and W. ".
Wotherspoon as major general in the
army. 1t is understood that in the
case of General Edwards who unit!
recently was chief of the bureau Of in
sular affairs many senators believe
he has had too little experience in the
army while in the case of Wother-
spoon, objection is that his advance
ment to major generalship would
carry him over the heads of several
ether officers.

great force. 1t carried everything
before it and left a desolated, debris
covered trail behind. Just how many
victims were swept to their death
probably will not be learned until
late tonight at which time the search
ing parties expect to conclude their
search. Although searching parties
were busy al through the night their
work was hampered by darkness.
Rescue work early today brought
gruesome evidence of the tragedy
The discovery of the bodies of Mr..
and Mrs. Trenchard was followed by
surprise when it was found that
neither was dead. John Trenchard
is expected to die, but hope is held
cut that his wife will recover.
While the precipitation in Lovelock
has been remarkably heavy for the
past three days, the rainfall has
been slight in Seven Troughs. AS
an indication of the utter absence of
warning given the victims it is relat-
eG that John Trenchard had remarked
to his wife yesterday afternoon that
it looked like rain. He stopped at ahe
front door of his store to note the
condition of the weather. A few drops
OF rain had fallen. AS he reached
the front door he heard heavy roar
and was confronted with a wall Of
water fifteen feet high which carried
him and his wife two miles away
1t is believed that many bodies are
streWn over the hillsides in the gulch.
