Just overlooking- the jail In which John
J. McNamara, James McXamara and
Ortie McManigal are confined. Indicates
more clearly than words the attention
he Is paying- to the anonymous letters
that are being received by him dally
from cranks and sympathizers with the
prisoners accused of being; dynamiters.
"The letters do not worry me," de
clared Fredericks today, but the han
dle of the revolver protruding; from ite
. leather holster on the official's desk
indicates that he was not g-tvtns;' utter
ance to his real feelings when he Trade
the statement.
"Yes. there have been letters re
ceived. said Fredericks. "I have fctvro
out one of them to the preee, but t!iS
others I prefer to keep myself. There
Is no Indication of their authors, and
probably, if I knew from whom they
came. I would pay less attention to
them than I do now."
Supposed Schmidt Threatens.
The one threatening letter which
Fredericks gave out is dated New York,
April It. and is slimed M. J. Schmidt.
The writer says he is "Cocky- Schmidt,
one of the Indicted men. and after de
claring the McNamaras lnnocent.says:
"I am the man who set the bomb,
bat Burns is not smart enough to catch
me. I sail for Europe, but will return
when this trouble Is over, and If the
McNamaras are convicted. I will avenge
them. I will kill you and Burn like
dogs. If you prosecute those poor labor
men you will prosecute yourself."
'o Immunity Promised.
The District Attorney today reiter
ated his statement regarding immunity
In the case of McManlgal In the event
that the man turns states evidence
gainst the McNamara brothers. This
time Mr. Fredericks statement was
more positive tban before.
"There has been no Immunity." he
declared, "and there will be none. We
do not play the game that way.
"As far as a change of venue Is
concerned, that Is unnecessary. There
Is a big change In the population of
this city every live years. In the con
stantly changing and Increasing popu
lation there must be thousands who
have no prejudice In favor of old In
stitutions or residents. As for publle
sentiment in the matter, we don't care
for it- If we have the evidence, we
will get a verdict. If we have not.
we won't get It. that's all there Is to It.
The men will have an absolutely fair
trial here."
lie declared, however, that It a
motion for a change of venue were
made, he wonld not oppose if In his
Judgment It has merit.
"I wish to give these men every as
surance of having a fair trial." said
Fredericks.
Fredericks asserted that, so far as he
knew, there was no Intention of Issuing
new Indictments Increasing the number
of charges against the McNamaras and
McManigal.

Let the case rest for a while and let
the developments come out themselves.
There is a lot of work to be done be

has year after year pled for mercy for
her father, was at the prison gate to
greet him. She had provided an auto
mobile with which to bring him to
Sacramento and the trip was made at
fearful speed.
It was Evans first auto ride, for
autos were unknown when he was
holding up trails and battling with
posses down In Tulare -County. He
chose to leave prison by automobile
route because it would be quicker than
the Southern Pacific train and because
he hoped to avoid newspaper reporters.
Evans has none too friendly feelings
for the Southern Pacific anyway.
Evans will remain in Sacramento a
few days and will then go to Portland,
Or., where he says he hopes to And a
quiet retreat with his family in which
to spend his remaining days.
Evans, 5 years old. with one eye and
one arm shot away and his form bent
with age and trouble, says:
"All I want now Is to get off to a
quiet spot with my family, there to
regain my health and live In peace and
quiet. I'm done with fighting."
Evans has been a model prisoner.
He Is proud that never once during his
incarceration was he called "on the
carpet." He does not use tobacco or
liquor, is not profane, and has msny
noble traits.

Immunity Foiled.
BRIBERS GLORY IN FEAT
They Have Dictaphone Record Every
Word Said While They Buy
Votes for Purpose of Getting
Proof of Corruption.
COLUMBUS, Or., May 1. When the
Franklin County grand Jury meets to
morrow to hear .testimony relative to
alleged bribery In the Ohio General
Assembly it will have on hand many
witnesses. Including members of the
Assembly, attaches, detectives and
newspaper men, who were subpenaed
today. All will be sworn to secrecy,
as were other recent witnesses before
the grand Jury.
Detectives who 'laid a plot to catch
legislators suspected of being subject
to bribery make the prediction that
a score or more of Assemblymen will be
Involved before the grand Jury ends Its
work, hut none of .their evidence, save
that Involving one House member and
four Senators in connection with the
women's nine-hour-day bill and the
Whitteraore Insurance measure, have
been made public. .
Harmon Heads Off Whittemore.
The Assembly met this evening for
the first time since the disclosures. A
resolution was Introduced In both
branches directing the Attorney-Gen
eral to Jpin the Prosecuting Attorney
In his investigation.
An Investigation by a legislative
committee was headed off by Gover
nor Harmon and others, who objected
to any bribe-takers avoiding prosecu
tion through an immunity bath granted
by a committee from the Assembly.
The detectives told Speaker Vining, of
the House, today that Representative
Nye had told them that Vining could
be bought for $1000. The Speaker be
came furious at the story.
"I am inclined to the belief," he said,
"that I have been' made a fool of. If
this is true, I want to find out. Above
all, I want a full and complete Investi
gation." Three detectives, F. K Harrison, of
New York, and A. C. Bailey and David
Berry, of Chicago, were arraigned In
Police Court for alleged bribery of
Representative George B. Nye ;and were
bound to the grand jury.

of Senate In Each Case.
LONDON, May 1. The Daily Tele

ress has been made to warrant a fore
cast of Its subject matter.

pendence or honor of the -contracting
states from arbitration.

TRIALS MAKE HIM SLEEPY
Seattle Juror Excused Because He
Cannot Keep- Awake.
SEATTLE, Wash., May 1. (Special.)
In Judge Gilliam's court this morning,
W. J. McLaughlin, proprietor of the Log
Cabin bar in Ballard, was summoned as
a Juror for the May term.
"I beg to be excused," he said to
Judge Gilliam, "because I am too fat. I
weigh 260 pounds."
"That doesn't seem to be a sufficient
reason," began the Judge.
"I fall asleep When I ait on juries,"
said McLaughlin.
The Judge was still from Missouri. .
"The lawyers usually make enough
noise to keep one awake," he declared.
Then came McLaughlin's clinching ar
gument.
"I was on a Jury once and they had
to have a new trial because I fell
asleep."
"It would be false economy to compel
you to serve," announced the Judge. "If
we would have to have a new trial again
on that account." McLaughlin was ex
cused.
SHORTEN WOMEN'S HOURS
San Francisco Stores Anticipate
Operation of New Law.
SAX FRANCISCO, May J. (Special.)
Although the Jaw confining: the
workday for a woman to eight hours
does not go into effect until May 22, It
has today been put into practice in all
the large department and other retail
stores.
This morning, and every morning
hereafter, the employes will not be
obliged to report before 9 o'clock;, and.
allowing a full hour at noon, will go
home at 6 o'clock.
This agreement was made at a meet
ing held last week, it having been de
cided to observe the new law with the
new month. As yet there has been no
discussion of what will be done during
the very busy seasons of the year, as,
for example, before Christmas, when
the stores will be open in the evening.
As long as the law holds, it will be
impossible for the girls employed dur
ing the day to be forced to remain aft
er they have worked the eight hours.

CHICAGO, May 1. (Special.) War
clouds which have hung over Chicago's
industrial horizon for weeks, broke in
several directions today, with the re
sult that" more than 6000 men were
added to the number already on strike.
The total number of persons on strike
in the city. Including miscellaneous
trades in which the workers have been
out for several weeks, was placed at
12,000.
Following is a list of strikes and
lockouts, with the number Involved:
Malntenance-of-way employes, 200;
brlckmakers, 2500; building trades,
6000; marble workers, 300; miscellane
ous trades, 800; total, 12,000. '
Following a refusal of the General
Managers' Association to recognize the
Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way
Employes or to make a general con
tract covering the six railroads in the
city whore the men are organized, H. A.
Verpia, vice-president of the organiza
tion ordered a strike this afternoon.
Six Roads Affected.
Reports tonight indicate that most
of the men responded to the order and
efforts will be made to extend the
strike to other roads. The railroads In
volved are: Illinois Central terminal,
as far south as Harvey; Chicago, Mil
waukee & St. Paul terminal, Baltimore
& Ohio terminal; Chicago Junction
Railroad, Indiana Harbor Belt Railroad.
A committee representing the Chica
go & Northwestern Kauroad employes
arrived in the city seeking; an agreement
covering the entire system. If the nego- '
tlations fail, it was said the men would
Join those on strike on the other rail
roads. Fearing that the men might be
blamed for any accidents which may oc
cur, the strike order instructed them to
turn In keys and all property belonging
to the various companies and to get re
ceipts for them.
Order Involves Many.
The strike order affects block signal
repair men, carpenters, painters, track
walkers, section laborers, lampmen,
bridge and building laborers, water sup
ply men and various kinds of laborers, .
skilled and unskilled employes in railroad
terminals.
The strike at the Otis Elevator Com
pany was a reversal ot lorm irom two
years ago. At that time the elevator
constructors walked out and the ma
chinists walked in and took their Jobs.
Today It was the machinists and electri
cal workers who walked out and the
elevator constructors will fill their
places.
The Otis Company has about 50 differ
ent shops in as many cities from New
York to San Francisco. Ita principal
shops are in Yonkers, where more than
1000 machinists are employed. The.
company employs more than 10,000 men
and if the machinists can make good
their threats, most of them will be called
out this week. .
A number of additional strikes were
called today, in the plumbers-steamflt-.
ters' war. Both sides, however, con
sented to meet with the committee of
contractors tomorrow in an endeavor to
adjust the difficulty. If the unions fall
to agree on peace terms the contractors
have threatened to shut down all their
work indefinitely, as they say it is im
possible to proceed under existing con
ditions, with some of the trades at work
and others on strike.
