OR
HANGING
CAUSE OF DISCONTENT.
The poor man, or the man moderate
ly well to do, who makes the few
good books of a small collection the
companions of his home, and who
hangs upon the wall a few pictures
having In them for him and his fam
ily a meaning, a beauty and an Inspir
ation, Is richer by far than the vulgar
captain who crowds a magDlflcent li
brary with unread books and the un
appreciated works of pulnters and
sculptors. Moreover, It Is not easy
today to tell the rich man's child from
the poor man's child; they wear the
same kind of clothes, attend the same
schools, enjoy the same harmless lux
uries, and In all essential particulars
live upon terms of equality, says the
Seattle Post-Intelligencer. And so
far as necessary material comforts are
concerned, the poor man's home Is not
different from the rich man's home.
What, then. Is the reason for the per
vasive discontent of the hour? The
reason Is to be found In false senti
ments and false opinions made possi
ble because the poor have been fool
ish enough. In a moment of passion
and prejudice, to become Jealous of
the vulgar ostentation and unbridled
extravagance of the foolish rich.
All women today have a wider horl
ton. The mother studies the task of
feeding and caring for her children
and hunts Information. The matron,
whether her husband's Income be large
or small, belongs to some club tn
church. In the home and school league
or tn her social lire, and has a swarm
of organizations In which she Is inter
ested. An overwhelming share of the
3.000.000 volumes yearly circulated In
this city are read by women, probably
seven or eight out of ten. says the
Philadelphia Press. Concerts, music
In the home, art and the theater all
live on the Interest of women, as the
audiences show. Novels and maga
zines grow and multiply on their sup
port. Physical training, sounder hy
giene and wiser food have greatly de
veloped the American woman. The
daughter of today is nearly always
taller than her niptber and usually bet
ter schooled. Fair as was her moth
er, she Is fairer still, as the Roman
poet noted of mother and daughter in
a day of corresponding advance. But
though fairer and physically stronger,
when the American woman thinks of
the "perfect woman." she gives the
major weight and Importance to those
things of mind and heart which years
do not rob. but Instead enrich.
According to a Turkish diplomat
now In this country, the Turkish
women no longer keep their facet
covered In public. They go about as
they please, and make goo-goo eyes
and flirt Just as women do elsewhere.
This is a great reform which Is said
to be pleasing to both sexes, but it Is
not likely to create a rush to Turkey
for a beauty exhibition. The moBt
beautiful women In the world are not
to be found In Turkey not In ex
travugant numbers. Now that they
can show themselves, however. It may
be expected they will take more pains
to enhance their charms.

Admit Blowing Up Los Angeles
Times and Iron Works.
CLIMAX IN GREAT TRIAL
Clarence Darrow, Chief Counsel Tor
Defendants! Concedes That De
tective Burnt,' Net Had No
Loopholes.
Lob Angeles, Cal. James B. Mc
Namara pleaded guilty to murder In
the first degree in Judge Walter Bord
wtll's Court Friday. His brother,
John J. McXamara, secretary of the
international Association of Bridge
and Structural Iron Workers, enteied
a plea of guilty to having dynamited
the Llewellyn Iron Works In Las
Ahgele on Christmas Day, 1910.
Janus H. Mc.Numara'B confession
clears up abooluicly the tragedy of
the explosion and tire which, at 1.07
o'clock on the morning of October 1,
1910, wrecked the plant of the Los
Angeles Times, at First street and
Broadway, and caused the death of 21
persons.
For 19 of these deaths the Mc
Namara brothers were Indicted and
J. B. McXamara was on trial specially
for the murder of Charles J. Hag
gerty, a machinist, whose body was
found nearer than that of any other
to the spot where the dynamite was
supposed to have been placed.
Both men's sentences were set for
Dceraber 5) when It Is expected that
District Attorney John D. Fredericks
will ask for life imprisonment for
James B. McNamara, the confessed
murderer, and probably 14 years for
bis brother.
The men's lives are considered
saved.
Taken Back To Jail.
After the pleas of guilty had been
received the prisoners were taken
back to Jail, Judge Walter Bordwell
retired to his chambers, and opposing
counsel went to their rooms.
"The McNamaras have pleaded
guilty because they are guilty," was
District Attorney John D. Fredericks'
crisp comment.
"If I'd have seen any way out of it,
we would not have done It," said At
torney Clarence S. Darrow after
court. "We have had It under con
sideration since a week ago Monday."
Attorney Darrow stood around the
room after court adjourned and news
paper men crowded around him.
"I am glad it's over with," said Dar
row with a sigh.
"We have been working on this for
two weeks and it has been the great
est strain of my life. The Times Build
ing was blown up by James B. Mc
Namara with nitroglycerine, to be
sure, but the bomb touched off the
gaa, and gas really did It."
Saw No Way Out Of It.
"Did you have to wrestle hard with
the Mc.s'amara brothers to get that
admission?" ho was asked.
"Somewhat, but the acts have been
overwhelming. Every loophole was
gathered In by the State. As far as
I am concerned, I felt that sooner or
later It had to come. Things were
happening in which big people are In
terested. The movement was Impell
ing. They wanted the matter cleared
up and feared further bloodshed un
less we obliterated the Incident from
Los Angeles at once."
"Of course, I feel I have helped the
McNamaras by getting them to plead
in bo far as they probably will not be
sentenced to death."
Killed Testing Auto.
Kingston, N. V. Jesse Smith, of j
Cleveland, Ohio, was killed while test-1
ing an automobile here. While travel-;
Ing at an estimated speed of CO miles 1
an hour he was unable to make a j
sharp turn and his machine tore I
that resulted In his death.

MR, TAFT READY TO RUN AGAIN
Would Not Now Call Payne Tariff
Bill Best Ever Passed, He
Says In Outlook Inter
view. New York. in the last Issue of the
Outlook there appears an article en
titled "President Tuft's Own View; an
Authorized Interview," In which the
President discusses current topics
with an Interviewer.
Possibly the principal point of In
terest In the Interview Is the Presi
dent's plainly spoken statement that
he Is willing to accept another term.
He was asked:
"I assume that you know that It has
been widely hlnttd that your tour was
the opening of your campaign for re
election?" "Certainly, as Is the case with all
Administrations, much of what I have
done since I have been in oflice has
had some political color put upon it
by those who were Inclined to be
critical.
"The truth Is, however, that political
considerations have not weighed
heavily with me. I have tried to do
in each case what seemed to me the
wisest thing, regardless of Its effect
upon my own future.
"I am very grateful for the honors
the people have given me. I do not
affect to deny the satisfaction 1
should feel If, after casting up the
totals pro and con, and striking a bal
ance, they should decide that my first
term had been fruitful enough of good
to warrant their enlisting nie for an
other. "Any man would be proud of such a
verdict. Cut I have not been willing,
nor shall I be, to purchase it at the
sacrifice of my freedom to do my duty
as I see It.
"My happiness Is not dependent on
holding any oflice; and I shall go back
to private Hfe with no heartburnings
If the people, after an unprejudiced re
view of my administration, conclude
that some one else can serve them to
their greater advantage."
Changed On Tariff.
"Speaking of the tariff Issue, Mr.
President, If you could begin your ad
ministration again, would you repeat
your Winona speech tomorrow?" the
Interviewer asked.
"In phraseology, no; in effect, yes.
Had I known as much then as I do
now, I should have realised that there
are some things one cannot leave to be
taken for granted. I dictated that
Bpeech to a stenographer on the cars
between two etutions and glanced
through it only enough to straighten
out Its grammar; It was sent out by
the press with correspondingly little
ceremony, so that the papers received
it in all sorts of shapes.
"If I had prepared It two or three
weeks before and revised it deliberate
ly, as I ought to have done, I should
have clarified several passages.
"And, particularly, I should have
changed the sentence where I pro
claim the Payne Tariff act the best
ever passed. The comparative would
have been a better description than
the superlative, for, whatever its
shortcomings, the act still contains
less to bo criticised than its predeces
sors, and It did, as a whole, revise the
existing schedules downward.

GARY'S PLEA FOR
BUSINESS
Head of Steel Corporation on
the Trust Problem.
POINTS WAY TO SOLVE IT
Unrestrained Competition In United
States Will Result In Destruc
tion Of Weaker Individuals,
He Says.
Wahslngton. Elbert II. Cory, execu
tive head of the United States Steel
Corporation, made a plea for "big busi
ness" before the Senate Committee
on Inter-State Commerce, which Is
searching for a solution of the present
trust problem In the United Stutes.
Big corporations are essential to the
development of the country and the
maintenance of business prosperity,
he said.
As a curb for the trust evil Mr. Gary
offered the following plank:
Federal license of corporations, re
quiring full publicity, preventing over
capitalization and discrimination In
cases betweeVi persons and localities.
The creation of a corporation com
mission with power to grant, suspend
and revoke Federal licenses subject
to a right of appeal to a court.
The corporation commission to have
power to decide questions submitted
by managers of business organizations
who desire to avoid illegality in their
actions, and to regulate prices as far
as necessary to prevent monopoly and
restraint of trade.
"For example," said Mr. Gary, "if
prices should be established by trade
agreement, or If raw ainterials, such
as cotton or tobacco, should be pooled,
or If patents should be used to the
public detriment, this commission
Bhould be empowered to establish j
maximum prices for the goods thus
controlled."
Purpose Of Gary Dinners.
Mr. Gary said the Steel Corpora
tion had been accused of mnking
agreements to restrain trade and in
crease prices. It had never done more,
he said, than to try to expand trade,
maintain fnir prices, steady the mar
ket and prevent wide fluctuations.
This had been the purpose of the so
cslled Gary dinners and the confer
ences among steel men.
"But now, with these dinners and
conferences mentioned In the govern
ment's bill of complaint filed against
us, I am afraid of Incurring public dis
pleasure If I do anything to maintain
the equilibiium of prices," said Mr.
Gary. "Many manufacturers are now
selling below cost, and If the situation
continue!! they will go Into bank
ruptcy "We wouldn't think of doing now,"
he added, "what Mr. Carnegie and oth
ers would have done 12 years ago and
would have thought it perfectly right
to do."
The witness declared that there can
be no return to unrestrained competi
tion in the United States without the
destruction of the weaker Individuals
and companies by the greater ones.
Ho declared that publicity was the
remedy to accomplish the most good
in regulating the big combinations.

Italian Minister Of Foreign Affairs
Says Bodies Of Soldiers Found
Near the Mosque Of Hani
Were Fearfully Mutilated.
Washington. Stories of almost In
credible barbarities practised by
Arabs and Turks are contained In dis
patches received at the Italian Em
bassy here. In a dispatch from Rome
the Italian minister of foreign affairs
describes alleged atrocities practised

crucifixion and burial alive. Women,
It Is said, take -part In the perpetra

"Near the Mosque of Hani, where
to medical post of the Twenty
seventh Batalllon of Bersagllerl bad

They were horribly mutilated, cruci
fied, with their throats cut open, Im
paled, torn to pieces and dismember
ed. Among them there was the body
of a surgeon lieutenant.
JPurled Alive.
"In the Arab cemetery, near the
place where the Fourth Company of
Versagllerl was located, seven bodies
of Ilersagllerl were discovered. They
had been Interred alive, with the
heads out of the earth. The body of
one of these shows that he had been
terribly- tortured. It showed many
shots and dagger wounds, the eyes
had been pulled out and threaded and
the eyelids sewn to the brows. This
body shows terrible spasmodic con
tractions. Another one had ono arm
out of the earth, from which the hand
had been cut off. The body of a
Ilersagllerl had been torn to pieces.
"A captain's cap has been found, Its
owner was Identified by Corporal

GAYNOR'S JOURNALISTIC CREED.
Mayor Outlines His Idea Of Ideal
American Newspaper.
New York. To a series of questions
propounded to him on the subject,
Mayor Gnynor Issued an extended
statement here, outlining his Idea of
an Ideal American newspaper. Fre
quently In his speeches the Mayor bus
criticised the press.
His Honor thinks that :
A newspaper should show that there
Is a gentleman In control of It.
A newspaper should be true; its
motives fair.
If the facts are not known an edi
torial should not be written.
He would, confine expressions of
opinion to the editorial columns.
Headlines should be accurate and
introductions stripped of verbiage.
It would be a good thing if all arti
cles were signed.
The news columns should give all
political news without regard to party.
Headers do not want all the testi
mony In divorce trials and sensational
criminal cases.
A decent, well-bred official should
not be cartooned as a ruffian and a
loafer.
No Influence from advertisers
should control news of editorial col
umns. OFFICIAL END OF OIL TRUST.

Indianapolis Declare That the
McNamaras Should Gave
Gone To the Gallows.
Indianapolis, Ind. That the Mc
Namara brothers should be hanged,
not imprisoned, was the conviction ex
pressed In statements inude by offi
cials of three national labor organiza
tions that have headquarters lu this
city.
"The McNamaras took human life
i-nd Just as In any other case the
penalty shoull be life for life," declur
ed Frank Duffy, nutlonal secretary of
the Carpenters and Joiners' Union.
"They deluded us and we went down
In our pockets for them. We don't
want such men in organized labor."
"It Is awful," said J. W. Dougherty,
International secretary of the Book
binders' Union. "As far as 1 am con
cerned they cannot hang them up too
high to suit me."
W. J. Spires, secretary to James M.
Lynch, president of the International
Typographical Union, who Is out of
the city, said he would speak for Mr.
Lynch when he said that "Hanging
was none too good for anarchists such
as the McNumaras are." He added:
"It Is a crime against unionism as well
as humanity. They deserve the ex
treme penalty."
"Union labor has learned a lesson,"
said W. I). Huber, president of the
Carpenters and Joiners' Union. "In
the future we will look Into cases like
this a little deeper before we dig
down Into our pockets."

New York. "The fight has only
Just begun. This Is only the first
chapter. What we want to And out
now is who were the men behind the
McNamaras, and this we propose to
do."
This statement was made by Wal
ter Drew, chief counsel for the Na
tional Erectors' Association, which
employed William J. Burns and his
detectives to Investigate the Los
Angeles dynamiting cases.
"The McNamaras, hi pleading
guilty, have said that they were sent
out there and acted for a principle,"
Mr. Drew continued. "It Is obvious
that the men representing this 'prin
ciple' have kept them well-supplied
with money. It Is to find out who
these men are that becomes the Im
portant Issue from now on."
Mr, Drew emphasized the Import
