Doc. 21! Federal Attorney Miller this afternoon com liletcd his argument to the jury in the cases ot the 10 union officials accused of nriiiitotlnc tile McNamnra Uynaniltiiit; dot.s in the ironworkers' strike ag.iin:.; t mpio;. i m oi nonunion lahor. .Imbie Anderson is expected to begin his charge to tile jury ill once. Miller's aii.ir.mr.t lo Hie jury to day was (leveled largely to review ing Mc-Manial's confession as a hired dynamller. 'i'lie District Attorney maintained the confession had ie'en rorroboraed in overv detail. Miller declarcd that one of the defendants, ltniler. carried on "dastardly and villainous coiTcsiiondenco Willi John McNamara. lie characterized Clan cy, the San Francisco lahor leader, as "just what his associates called liiin, biK, fat stew Clancy.' " Shaking his fist in Ciancy's face. Miller called him a "coiisuinate criminal and scoundrel." lie chal lenged the defense to explain Mini the courtroom today. That was when District Attorney Miller referred to an explosion which Ortle K. McMunl gul said he caused In an iron works plant at Lob Angeles on December 25, 1910, and which the Government alleges Olaf A. Tveitmoe San Fran cisco, acknowledges iu a letter to J. J. MeNainura as a Christinas present to the Pacific Coast. Kern Is Rebuked. Miller also detailed to the jury the story of the Los Angeles Times ex plosion and again referred to Senator John V. Kern, who had nrgued be fore the jury for the defense. "Senator Kern has said that In the strike of the Iron Workers' Union against open shop contractors, it would not have been to the ad vantage of those men to blow up the jobs," said Miller. "Senator Kern said the Jobs were those of the Btecl trust and it would not hurt the steel trust with its mlllloliB to damage their properly. Think of a United States Senator making a statement like that in a court of justice. How much money does it take to induce a United States Senator to make a statement like that?" "With a United States Senator as counsel, these defendants a month alter this trial began, published in the union magazine an article caning the trial a farce. They described a trial in the Federal Court as a farce Listen to this. After referring to the Indictment of these men, they pub lished this: 'Then begun the farce of a trial, in which the steel trust mas querades as the Government.' "And yet when I offered to give 20 minutes of my time, so that any of these lawyers might get up and say two ot tneir eiieniH weie hul t guilty, no one responded. inoi a lawyer dared to say two oi me ue fondants were innocent." .SIGNING 11' THE DESERT.

There are many miles of lava buttes and granite mountains, the wnvs among which are devjous and almost impossible to thread, if one is not informed as to the right road. In passing through tne ocseri the motorist, it has been found, faces danger and death at every turn If he has not equipped nis car nun uu adequate warning signal. 1 here have been bo many accidents due to the inefficiency of the bulb horn tnat the various motoring organizations have seen to it that their members are warned of the danger of using anything but high powered electric horns. There are many points w u is Imnnsslhle for two cars to pass, and sharp turns are frequent In just such sections. Mr. O. K. Parker. Engineer of the Automobile Club ot Southern Cnli (,! said regarding this matter: "I have traveled over 2D. 000 miles over these desert roaas nua uiroimn the ranvons of the mountains of Cali fornia and I would like to warn all motorists against placing any oe t.n,iincn tinnn tho bulb horn. It is useless In either city or country, but a man takes his life In his bunds who depends upon It In any way in this country about which we have been speaking." t It will take the better part or a year to accomplish the task of Bign ing the desert, but the work is to be prosecuted vigorously and Is part of the whole svstem or effort to make motoring In California as pleasant and free from danger as possible. tieso I fj" nnniii n nnim Austria May Demaud More Than Montenegro Will Live KEEPS HER ARMY MOBILIZED Talt Starts on Rdurn to Washington From Panamj Wilson kiting Kid of La (iripps John Bolder, a carpenter, to avenge some grievance he Is Bald to t have entertained against his wife, I shot his mother-in-law, Mrs. Emma : Fisher, 60 years old, battled with the ITuylorville police und was ' finally captured after being shot by ouo of tho officers.

Conflicting rumors regarding Austr n s inten. Hons In the international oeace con ference Is the principal topic of tho iiaiaan envoys today.

It is declared that Austria will not attempt to Interfere in .Montenegro s program. Austria's failure to demobilize, However, is a greater source of dis quiet to all concerned than the task or arranging peace. This is more es pecially the case with the Monteneg rin delegates, who were excited to day over the rumor that Austria, hav ing obtained whnt she wants from Servia, wishes either to prevent Mon tenegro n-oni tuklng Scutari, by In corporatlng it In Albania, or to make tho .Montenegrin occupation of Sen tail the price of Austrian occupation oi Aiount Lowehen. .Montenegro -Prefers Extermination. this mountain, which rises abrupt ly to a height of ubotlt 5500 feet, dominates the Gulf of Cattaro, the greatest Austrian stronghold In the Adriatic.

The lever that will break the backbone of high prices of foodstuffs Is more In tensive farming, cultivation of un occupied lands near the largo cities and more Intelligent methods ot ag riculture, In the opinion expressed by Professor Milton Whitney, chief ot the bureau of soils, .of the Depart ment of Agriculture. Dr. Whitney leading authority on Bolls and their uses and his many publications on boIIb and their adaption to crop production and their relation to food consumption have atlracted world wide attention. Dr. Whitney Is preparing a bulletin on Bolls of the country and their re lation to the Nation s future food supply. Ho draws special attention to the vast area of uncultivated areas of land, tho decline In tho cultivated areas compared with tho rupid In crease of the country a population. The country is advancing In every line," Baid Dr. Whitney. "People aro living bettor than over before. As a result we are stronger physical ly and mentnlly. We are consuming more foodstuffs per cuplta than the population of the European countries and I would not for a moment at tempt to dlscourago Iosb food con sumption. It Is plain that until we got a larger supply of foodstuffs and If the period or high salaries con tinues we can expect the present high cost of living to continue. So let us touch tho producing side of the question. For instance. the states north of tho Potomac and east of tho Ohio River have a total area of 112,322,880 acres. The area under cultivation In this territory Is estimated at a little over 40,000,000 acres. Added to this is 27,000,000 acres naed for forestry. So we have over 42,1)00,000 acres of Idle land In the territory lying In the slates. "During the paBt 30 years the amount of land In use has steadily decrciiBed until it Is now about 20 per cent less than in 1880, while the country as a wholo haB been growing at a phenomenal rate. "The number of persons engnged In agricultural pursuits In tho states above mentioned has also decreased during the past 30 years, while tho total population has largely in creased.- There aro at present, mark you. about 1,3110,1)00 persons ongnged In itgrlcii lure In tho area under consiu- erntlon with a population of over 30,- 000,000 nonagrlculturiil producers to he fed. The Bureau of Soils estimates that tho land under cultivation In tho urea can bo made to yield at least four tlmoB ns much as at present by more Intelligent and Intensive meth ods of funning. Moreover, the same up-to-date methods used on Ihe line lands will liavu n yielding rapacity over eight times ns much uh at present. Cnreful Investigations conducted by tho bureau prove that these lands aro well adapted to all classes or crops from Ihe early fruit, truck and vegetables, to the luteal storage fruits and vegetables for winter use. and to tho most Intensive Kind oi dairy farming. "Tho theory thnt decadence of og rlculturo In thlB region was duo to the exhaustion of soils to long con tinued cultivation has moved un rounded bv cnreful study and by offi cials of tho Department of Agrlcul- tu ro. "Tho conditions In Ihe eastern set i u,ii nf the country are Blmllar to tlinun existing In other sections. So population of the country a greater production of foodstuffs must be raised. "To do this more people have got to return to the farms; It is necessary, to put more land under cultivation; more Improved methods of agricul ture, and more Intensified farming must be, followed. "i expect that this will be done at no distant date, but until It Is done and if prosperous times continue to prevail, 1 am afrnld that we cannot expect a substantial reduction in the high cost of living."
