y'. Liverpool had a very bad frlarht. In
de1. Htrana-ers are a little Inclined
to talk about nerves and the Strang
effect of unwonted proximity to vio
l-nce. But they have not watched
that moat terrible of all sights, an
angry mob turning fiercely on the
auardlane of order. They have .not
waited In tense anxiety wondering
v. here next the sound of rlflea would
ring out. They have not (rone through
t-rrtbl hours In the Imminent danicer
that a rrat city would be plunred In
darkness, and all the undisciplined
hordes of the slums let free to riot
and plllaae without fear of detection.
Fuch a thins; does not happen in the
reign of Oeorge V. declares the optim
ist, but It very nearly did happen In
IJverpool when a great mob of strik
ers frightened the men from the Brest
electric power station at Lister Irtve
to leave their work. In the end. the
forces of order ar bound to triumph,
for they have got the rifles and the
Vaxlm guns, but even a slugle night
of anarchy Is no pleasant prospect.
Mtaaf loa Was Critical.
It is not without reason that those
In authority speak of the state of Liv

l. al. and the warning of tbelr experi

of a country where great Industrial

has special and not very creditable dif
ficulties which multiply danger. But
had a second strike been begun and
protracted for three weeka In Hull or
Manchester or Cardiff, or even In
Iindon. the pre-eminence In disorder
might easily have passed from Liver
pool to another center.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
esreement had been signed on behalf
of the men by the appointed repre
sentatives, some hundreds of the dock
era again left work In protest against
the method of organising work adopt
ed bv one firm of stevedores. The.
preaching of Mann had taught dis
content at the trivial triumph of a few
pence a day.
On August It Mann announced at
the demonstration on 8t- George's
Plateau, which waa the occasion of the
notorious riot, that tha strlka com
mittee had addressed a letter te all
the rait war companies Involved In the
dispute affecting the goodaworkers.

panies, and on the following day
the threatened lock-out was declared
bv the -shipowner and a general strike
of all transport worker was an
nounced. No further demand were
put forward by any sections of the
workers at the docks.
Valaateera Saved City.
But the energetic strike committee
was not content with thus paralysing
te whole allied services dealing with
the transport of goods. It must be re
membered that the riots had broken
out. and excitement waa at fever pitch.
Assisted by mobs delighting In rowdy
intimidation the striker made effort
to get out the worker at the electric
l.ght stations and on the municipal
tramway. The scavengers also ceased
work. It Is Important to notice that
the stoppage of scavengers and the
electric light workers, totally uncon
nected with the transport workers.
was a definite fulfilment of the "gen
eral strike- Idea, and It was countered,
as was the general strike In Sweden,
bv the ucceful organization of vol
unteer workers drawn from other
classes.
The sudden complication of the na
tional railway strike and It fortunate
settlement checked the development of
the Liverpool situation, since with the
return of the railway men the official
reason of the strike was at an end.
and the shipowners consented to open
the dock. What would ultimately
v happened or will happen In the
rase of the rallwaymen It Is Impos
sible to rir. but It Is possible to af
firm with confidence that the general
strike had already failed. The volun
tary workers hart succeeded In keep
ing the electric light and sanitary
services going. while the dockers
tnemeelves were beaten. Two day
more would have left the union penni
less, and the men could not possibly
have been kept out any longer. They
were beaten to a standstill, beaten so
completely that if the shipowners had
rhoeen to go hack on the agreement
of August I the men weuld atlll have
had to return to work. n the morn
ing after the end of the railway strike
men went down to the dock expect
ing to get work. When they found
them lill closed some were so broken
that they sat down and cried. Other
fainted In the streets. The distress
throughout the poorer quarters was
heartrending. The official of the
Ixvckers' I'nlon are full of praises of
the conduct of th shipowners, who.
Instead of exacting rigorous terms,
gave freely the full concessions of

Those locked up tonight after having

state because of his opposition to the

or excused.
Dynamite Rsllag Awaited.
Geora-n W. McKee. who says he is
firmly convinced that the Lo Angeles
Times was blown up by dynamite.' was
under interrogation by the court at tne
close of today's session. He is not
wanted by counsel for the defense, who
assert that James B. McManara could
not have dynamited the building and
caused the death of Charles B. Hag
gerty, because the building was blown
up by gas. They therefore challenged
McKee and are awaiting a ruling from
Judge Bordwell. McKee says he haa
no opinion as to the guilt or, Innocence
or tne nerennant.
C. Robinson, after being- challenged
because of his opposition to conviction
on circumstantial evidence, waa held by
th court, the challenge being dis
allowed for the time.
T. w. Adams. Ernest F. Decker. E. J.
Shower. Otto A. Jesaen and H. T.
Quackenbush. all were excused upon
challenges for Indirect bias. This la
the closest the state could come, under
California statutes, to formal challenge.
because each man said he would not In
flict the death penalty upon circum

was their real state of mind seemed to
reveal that It waa.
Socialistic Tread Taken.
The case of Adams created lively In
terest because the examination ran
much along the lines of his Socialistic
hir
Robinson stretched the Ingenuity of
both aide in tneir errort to learn
whether he would not be willing to in
flict th death penalty on circumstan
tial evidence.
"First he says he will and then lie
ays hs will not. He Mow hot and he
blows cold. Who shall say what ar
th facts"' asked Chief Trial Deputy
Horton. of the court.
"The people ar entitled to a Jury of

limit. Thl man won't."
"How do we know he won't?" queried
the court.
' He says he won't," replied the Dis

The court mused over the tangled
record.
"I'm not sure he said that." said th
court, and he ordered that Robinson
must stay. "If I find 'my ruling Is

rirewsBBtaattal Evidence Explained.
In the examination of Talesman Mc
intosh, desertcraft, known more or lesa
by nearly every man in th courtroom,
wa drawn upon by Attorney Darrow
to explain c'rcumstanlla: evidoTic. The
cunning art of trailing men across
great wastes with only the slenderest
threads of clews, was cited by Darrow
and common frontier traged'.oa were
touched upon. -
"If you knew a man bad a revolver
of unusual caliber and another man
was found dead with a bullet of that
caliber In him, would you consider that
circumstantial evidence T he asked
Talesman Mcintosh.
"Yes."
"Or f you found a horse trail with
three good shoes and one half shoe and
knew of a horse with thre good shoe
and a half hoe'?'
"Tea" '
"Or the trail of avian showing only

DeaM Wewld Revaala.
"No."
"It wouldn't make any difference
whether It was a murder case or lar
ceny case: you would object to cir
cumstantial evidence T"
Te." '
"Would you entertain a reasonable
doubt aa to the guilt of th defendant
if the evidence wa entirely circum
stantial." asked Judge Bordwell.
"Tea." ,
Mr. Darrow said h thought th tales
man did not understand.
"Ton understand. Mr. Mcintosh, tha
defendant Is presumed to be Innocent?"
continued th court.
"Tea."
"Now. suppose th evidence was en
tirely circumstantial, would you find
the defendant guilty In any case?"
"I might find him guilty, but I would
not Impose the death penalty on cir
cumstantial evidence." answered Mc
intosh. Th court also took this challenge
under consideration.
Pioneer laloa M Kxaaalaed.
Taleaman Robert F. Bain, a carpen
ter, more than 70 yeara old. told Attor
ney Horton that he organised th first
labor union In Loa Angeles.
"Is there a feeling In yonr mind that
General Otis got about what be de
served In th destruction of hi prop
erty" asked Attorney Horton.
"I never had any such feeling."
"Do you feel that because th atti
tude of th Time toward labor unions
was considered pretty stringent, labor
union men wer Justified In using un
usual means?"
"T. to hold their own."
He aald hi wif would not permit
htm to tak the Time.
Although he beat a drum In District
Attorney Frederick's election campaign,
he had voted on both Bides, he said.
"Ever vote th Socialist ticket?"
asked Horton.
"No."
Bain was passed for caus and th
state began the examination. A. C
Robinson, th final taleaman of the
first IX. wa taken up. Robinson said
he had conscientious scruple against
voting for the death penalty on cir
cumstantial evidence, and would not
vote for It under such evidence. Judge
Bordwell took th talesman In hand.
"If in a criminal caa tha proof of
circumstances satisfied your mind be
yond reasonable doubt thst the defend
ant was guilty, would you vote to find
him guilty?" ssked the court.
"Tea," said Robinson.
The stat than pasaed Robinson tern
porarily.
Jadge May Change Ruling.
Robinson wa recalled by"Dlstrict At
torney "Frederick and said positively
that he could not hang a man on cir
cumstantial evidence, and waa chal
lenged for Implied bias. The defense
soon withdrew Its objection to the chal
lenge, but Judge Bordwell asked the
juror further questions.
"If I were aatlsfied that the defend
ant were guilty, I would vote him
guilty," finally said Robinson.
The court disallowed the challenge.
"Does your honor wish to hear argu
ments on the law?' asked Attorney
Horton. "I hav three cases."
He was allowed to cite the celebrated
Cluverius murder case of Virginia and
soma others.
"If I think the ruling ls wrong. I'll
change It," said the Judge. "I will ex
amine your cases."
H. T. Quackenbush waa recalled by
the defense, which had reaerved the
right of examining him further. H
aid he had no prejudice against labor
unions. Attorney Darrow referred to
a typewritten slip.
"Did you ever say labor unions ought
to be driven out of the country?"
"1 never did."
Talk M lth Grocer latimated.
"Or that the member ought to b
hanged?" t
No."
"Or that the McNamara ought to be

No."
Ever talk to John Walker about the
case?"
I don't know John Walker."
"He run a grocery stora near you."
"Oh. that Walker I didn't know his
name was John. Perhaps I talked to
him."
Attorney Darrow passed Quacken
bush until Monday, announcing that he
would produce Walker at that time un
der subpena.
Quackenbush was challenged by the
state for indirect bias after he had
insisted be would not" vote for the
death penalty on circumstantial evi
dence. I haven't the face to resist that chal
lenge," said Darrow, and Quackenbush
was excused.
The court then called Otto A. Jensen.

testified that he had a fixed opinion
that the Times building was dynamited.
Would you change your opinion if
you found It was Incorrect?" asked the
court.
"No."
"Do you mean to say you would ob
stinately adhere to your opinion in
any event?"
"Yes, I think so."
He said he could not act fairly and
Impartially and was excused. The stat
declined to resist the challenge.

SALT LAKE CITT. Oct. 20. J. E.
Munsey. business agent at alt Lake
of th International Association of
Bridge and Structural Iron Workers,

RECIPROCITY iM

Politicians, According to Com

RECOIL ' TO ' HIT CLARK

That Agreement Was "Entering
Wedge" of Annexation May

. BT HARRY J. BROWN.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash.
Ington. Oct 20. Is Canadian reel
procity any longer- a political issue or
a political factor tn the United States?
Sine tha overwhelming Canadian vote
against reciprocity American politi
cians hav been discussing this issue
pro and con, and there are about as
many opinions aa there are politicians.
According to tha insurgent, the Ca
nadian vote leaves the President in a
very deep hole; according to the sup
porter of the President, the rejection
of the treaty by the Canadian voters
is the strongest sort of evidence that
the agreement, had it been ratified.
would have operated to the enormous
benefit of the United States; according
to the Democrat, the Canadian vote
was a pieces of very bad business, and
the only consolation Democrats derive
from the situation Is tha fact that th
reciprocity fight in this country
served to divide the Republican party
into two bitterly-opposed factions.
I Reciprocity Shelved f
But when it comes to predicting
whether Canadian reciprocity will con
tinue to be an issue in American poll
tics, or whether It waa really shelved
by the vote of the Canadian people,
there is no consensus of opinion. No
body, at this time, professes to know
what tha future holds in store. Be
yond the admission that reciprocity
with Canada cannot be brought about
during this Administration or the next
and perhaps never, politicians are not
declaring themselves. But there will
be declarations a-plenty In Congress
next Winter, and it will then be de
veloped whether Canadian reciprocity
Is to be carried into the campaign of
1912. or whether it Is to be cast aside
in favor of the bigger and broader
question of general tariff revision.
It was made to appear during the
special session of Congress that tha
main difference between th Insur
gents and the President arose over
Canadian reciprocity. That wa not
the case, as a matter of fact, but that
was the inference thrown out by the
Insurgents themselves. Everyone
knows that the Insurgents opposed Ca
nadian reciprocity because President
Taft had championed it. and It does
not necessitate much of a tax on the
memory to recall the reluctance with
which insurgents took a stand on this
question. When the agreement was
first sent to Congress, only two or
three insurgents were ready to declare
themselves. Slowly, however. Senator
La Follette brought his followers into
line and finally arrayed them almost
solidly against reciprocity.
lanrscata forced v Opea.
It is also to be remembered that
many Insurgents, in opposing reciproc
ity, were forced to go back on their
own tariff professions of two years
previous, and were compelled to take
the direct opposite position to that
which they assumed when the Payne
Aldrlch law was being framed.
But aside from this, the Insurgents
having made their fight on the Presi
dent because he advocated Canadian
reciprocity, and reciprocity having
been killed by the voter of Canada,
will the Insurgents patch up their dif
ferences with the President, or will
they again demonstrate the shallowness
of their words, and find some new is
sue on which to differ with the Presi
dent? They have thus far been con
sistent only in their inconsistency. Will
they continue this record next session?
If their main quarrel with the President
was over reciprocity, how can they rec
oncile further differences when that is
sue is removed?
There Is one respect In which Cana
dian reciprocity may play a part In
next year's campaign, however, es
pecially the campaign preceding the
conventions. According to all reports
from Canada, reciprocity waa voted
against very generally because the Ca
nadian people were led to believe that
tha approval of this agreement might
be the "entering wedge" for a Cana
dian annexation movement. Responsi
bility for this false idea can be laid
directly at the door of Champ Clark.
Democratic speaker of the House of
Representatives, for It waa Champ
Clark who so alluded to the reciprocity
agreement In a speech he made on tha
floor of the House of Representative.
Champ Clark Lark Tact. .
Until Champ Clark spoke of reci
procity aa a step toward Canadian an
nexation, no on had mentioned this
question at. all. and all who bad pre
ceded Clark had studiously steered
away from It. Nobody -believed that
the reciprocity agreement waa ne
gotiated with any such object In view,
and very few people In this country be
lieve It now. But Clark, who Is utter
ly lacking in tact, and 1 profoundly
Ignorant of sentiment In Canada,
blundesed Into making this fatal re
mark a remark, by the way, which
was promptly repudiated by President
Taft and instantly the hostile press
and hostile speakers in Canada seised
on this declaration of the Speaker of
the American House of Representatives,
and used It with great effect to the
end of the Canadian campaign. From
all reports of the Canadian campaign It
appears that this fear of annexation
did more than anything else to defeat
the reciprocity agreement.
Now that the agreement ia defeated.
Champ Clark Is very Indignant; he lay
it to tha Improper use of money among
Canadian voters, but that Is all Clark
buncombe, and Clark knows It- He Is
trying the old trick of muddying the
water, so that he can get away undis
covered. The fact that Clark's unfor
tunate utterance In the House of Rep
resentatives did so much towards de
feating Canadian reciprocity (In which
Clark was intensely Interested) prob
ably will rise to embarrass Clark In
hia race for the Presidential nomina
tion. Not alone will it hurt him be
cause he contributed to the defeat of
reciprocity, but because th incident
show that he ia an unsafe man to be
entrusted with th affairs of th na
tion. Clark Show Smarter.
If he waa ao lacking In tact aa to
make a speech which .endangered th
ultimata success of reciprocity, while
he wss advocating that very thing.
Is he possessed of sufficient diplomacy
to handle other big National and In
ternational problems which constantly
confront a President?
Champ Clark is a bungler. That la
th plain fact, and his break with ret-

of their arrangement, the style of decoration, the oak

many of you ever ask questions about the heating
