LOG ANTE Lira. Dee. . The United

thorities arc co-operating to uncover
on of the moat gigantic conspiracies
rar conceived In tha history of this
country.".
This was tha declaration today of
Assistant District Attorney W. Joseph
Ford, second In command to District
.Attorney Fredericks, and the man who
was arrested In Indianapolis for the
altered Illegal extradition of John J.
Mc.Vimtrt.
"It Is only a question now whether
tha Federal OoTernment or the state
-authorities can reach certain persons
better and bring them to Justice mora
effectually." continued ..tr. Ford. He
has been In charge of the gathering
of evidence for the prosecution and
while his chief. District Attorney
Fredericks, was res:. tig on a ranch
near here today, Fonl occupied h'lm
elf with the details of tha McNamara
case.
Federal Aalkorttlea Aells.
Ha admitted that tha prosecution bad
under surveillance In other parts of
ths country some prominent labor
leaders alleged to have been involved
in ths Times explosion. "But said that
arrests might first be made by the Fed
eral Oorernment in connection with
Its investigation.
"The Federal Oorernment has shown
every disposition to assist us and wa
are helplnir them as much as possible,"
he declared.
The vigor with which tha Federal
Government la pressing Its Investiga
tion Into ths conspiracy that It al
lseed to extend over the entire conn
try has been Increased within ths past
fortnight, according to well-informed
persons here, and in proof of thla it la
observed that United States District
Attorney McCormlck is in Washlng
ton and T'nlted States District Attor
ney Miller, of Indianapolis, and Dis
trict Attorney Fredericks are In close
communication.
RanUrlratloaa Are ?Cat1ea-Wtde.
Evidence desired by tha Federal
grand jury In Indianapolis from thla
place will go forward as quickly as It
Is asked for. Ford said. This ques
tion has been raised repeatedly and
local authorities have not stated their
position until today. The ramifications
of tha case are said to be so extensive
that It would cause no surprise here
If the aubject bad been brought to tha
attention, not only of President Taft.
but Attorney-General Wickersham. A
S rand Jury will be empaneled within a
week. In fact. Immediately upon the re
turn of Judge Hutton. presiding mag
istrate of tha Superior Court of Los
Angeles County, who Is now In Chi
cago. M. A. Schmidt and David Kap
lan, jointly Indicted with tha McNa
maraa for tha Times disaster, have not
been captured, but tha state. It Is be
lieved, -has a good clew to their
whereabouta and they may be appre
hended within a fortnight. But others,
aid to have had much to do with tha
directing of the destruction of tha Los
Angeles Times and with other explo
sions, are reported to ba implicated by
Information now fn tha hands of tha
state authorities and tha Federal Gov
ernment may ba tha Brat to bring
theaa men to trial.
a Others An Issssaae. .
Assistant District Attorney Ford de
nied that tha atata had entered Into
any contract by which other persons
were to ba circumscribed by tha con
fession of tha McNamara.
"Tha confeaslon concerns tha future
. of two people James B. and John J.
McNamara. There Is no other con
sideration Involved." ba declared. "Tha
McNamaraa agreed to plead guilty and
take their chances on their sentences.
It Is absurd even to think wa ahould
make a compromise aa to their sen
tence. That Is a matter for tha court
to determine."
That the pleaa of guilty by tha Mc
N'amaraa did not preclude the prose
cution from activity In any other di
rection or with, any other person was
evidenced today by tba announcement
of Ford that ha would press tha
ehargea of bribery against Bert H.
Krankltn, a detective employed by tha
defense.
FraakJIo Case Helta Kay.
Asked If there would be any mora
arrests, Mr. Ford declared It would de
pend upon tha testimony of certain
witnesses In tha Franklin case.
"There may be soma sensational de
velopments, however.' he remarked to
an Eastern newspaper correspondent,
who contemplated leaving here soon,
"and you had better not leave for at
least another week."
Franklin, who la out on 110.600 ball,
furnished by counsel for the Me
Namaraa. would not discuss his case
todav.
Judge BordwelL It was pointed out
today, haa nut been in communication
with tha District Attorney's office at
any time concerning the pleas of guilty,
nor haa be discussed the subject with
anybody. Hitherto he has not presid
ed In an Important criminal case. but.
as one member of the atate'a counsel
put It, he "haa a good deal of the milk
of human kindness, and will do tha
right thing."
Tweaty Tears Predicted for Joea J.
Tha Judge. It Is believed, will sen
tence Jamea B. to life Imprisonment,
and John J., It la said, will get 20 years.
Under the parole laws thla would mean
that John J. would ba released from
custody In a few years.
Mora light waa thrown today on why
John J. McNamara pleaded guilty to tha
charge of dynamiting the Llewellyn
Iron Works, and why the state did not
Insist on a plea aa to tha indictments
against him for having, with his
brother. Jamea IU. wrecked tha Tlmee
building and caused the death of II
persons. It waa asserted that John J.
McNamara could not have been sen
tenced for a greater crime than that
of manslaughter in connection with tha
Times disaster, aa he waa not In Cali
fornia at tha time. Tha sentence under
the statute Is only from one to ten
years. As far as the Indictment for
blowing op the Llewellyn Iron Works
is concerned. Ortie E. McManlgal con
fessed that John J. paid blm money
to blow up tha building, and tha state's
case. It was said, waa here mora com
plete. Tha dynamiting charge, too. It was
observed, is punishable by a sentence
of not less than a year, but there la no
giuimua penalty, and It may ba from

of the court.
Iadletmeata Will Stand.
Tha Indictments against John J., In
connection with-the Times disaster, will
not be pressed now. but they will stay
on record to be acted upon, according
to the wishes of the prosecution. That
it will hang as a lever upon John J.

the state.

had reached counsel for tha defense).
"These iioor teaaers. guciarei m
member of the prosecution today, "may
not have, had criminal acquaintance
with the McNamaras. but they were in
communication with them at certain
times and certain places which would
have caused distasteful publicity."
Details of the struggle for the testi
mony of witnesses present a realtstio
story, covering activity in many cities.
"Many witnesses came over to us In
tha laat few weeks." said Ford, "and
thy brought with them money used to
get them. Tou would be surprised at
the number that came to our side vol
untarily, too. Tho fact la. we frustrat
ed the plana of tho other side to win
by Illegitimate means, and they know
they could not win If they took their
chancea on legitimate procedures be
cause we had a chain of damaging evi
dence. I worked on overy detail of It
and know that they were up against a
stone wall, whichever way they turned."
Bribes W ill Exceed Rewards.
The money which witnesses were al
leged to hava received from persona
who wished to ally themselves with tha
defense waa aald to' amount to a con
siderable sum, and District Attorney
Fredericks estimated that It would
cover mora than all tha rewards ever
offered for the arrest of the guilty par
ties. The defense, even to data. It waa
said, had no knowledge of the fact that
some witnesses would have turned upon
them when It ckme to the giving of tes
timony. Against such odds as these tha
defense would hava been battling, and
to roeanbera of tha prosecution, there

Tbe Stomach Welcomes Quick Relief.
A Ftuart'o Tablet not only aids diges
tion but It actually does the digesting
Itself. In other words It furnishes ex
actly the same elements for the diges
tion of food as the natural Juices of the
stomach. The stomach, therefore. Is
not called upon to do any of the work
except to churn the Juices furnished
by the tablet and then push the digest
ed food along Into the intestines where
It will be still further digested and tho
strength taken up by the blood to be
carried to the muscles and nerves of
the body.
So by taking a Stuarfa Dyspepsia
Tablet after a meal you gi-ve the stom
ach the rest it needs in which to mend
Itself and grow well again. And you
absolutely prevent the souring of any
food, the formation of any poisonous
gases, belching, foul breath or consti
pation. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have done
more for humanity and have caused
more rejoicing than any other one
