McNamara, tho union men accused of murder lu connection with tho destruction of the Los Angeles Times building, will go to trial Oc tober 10 next. This decision was given by Superior Judgo Walter Bord- well this morning. The specific charge upon which the trial will proceed is covered bj in dictment number G496 relating to the death of J. Wesley Reeves, an em ploye of the Times at the time the building was destroyed. As soon as court opened a long discussion and sparring for time was started by the attorneys for tho de fense. District Attorney John O. Fredericks argued for tho state. AU of the defense attorneys except Job Harriman, who did not speak, made eloquent arguments to tho court, set ting forth their reasons for asking delay in the Impending legal battle. They statebTthat because of tBo grav- ly of the case' and the mass of testi mony which would have to be band led, December 1, in their opinion, would bo a suitable date for the be ginning of the trial. Fredericks was on his feet at once arguing delaying. He said the prose cution would be ready to start inside two weeks, but asked that the men go to trial September 1. Judge Bordwell said he would "split tho difference" and named Oc tober 1 as the date. Attorneys for tho defense, after the setting of tho trial date, intimated that they would ask for separate trials for tho accused brothers. All of the cases in connection with the Times disaster will bo called October 1 and tho eighteen other In dictments will be set over pending the trial for tho murder of J. Wesley Reovgea who was private secretary tollar ry Chandler, general manager of tho Times. When court opened at 10 o'clock this morning District Attornoy Fred ericks stated that so far as the state was concerned the caso was ready for trial "any time." For the defense, Attornoy Joseph Scott aBked that the date be set for December 1. FOOD AND DRUG TRUSTS AFTER WILEY'S SCALP Pure Food Chemist of Government Fights Attempt at 'Removal Want.

Congressman Moss of Indiana, chairman of the committee, today an nounced that theinvestigation into the attack on Dr. Wiley would bo started this afternoon. Wiley Still Fighting. Wiley today has not receded from his fighting attitude and, by refusing to contradict, admitted that certain officials of the department of agri culture were -attempting to undermine him. Ho said: "I am positive that certain persons 1 w-tnterests are trying to assassi nate me not my body, but my char acter. Of the two modes o nssassi nntion, I infinitely prefer tho physi cal. "I know that the special interests are leagued against me, but just which interests they are I must refuse to specify just now. There' is a tide, however, which will swamp even King Canute the king in this instance be ing the vested interests." Let Justice Ho Done. Asked to specify the persons in tho department who are working for his downfall, Wiley replied with the Latin quotation "justitia fiat, coleum mat." "That," he said, "is exactly appli cable to the matter. If a certain of ficial of the department, whose name I will not now mention, loses bis of ficial head through this congressional investigation, you will seo how trite the phrase is." Tho phrase means: "Let justice be done though tho heavens fall." By a "certain official," it is bo lievcd Wiley means Georgo P. Mc Cabe, solicitor of the department and tho men on tho pure food board, tha committee on personnel of the agri cultural department, which recom mended that Wiley be "ullowed to re sign."
