IX EXTRADITING M'N'AMAHA
Attorneys For IH-fensc Dcvlniv Judge
J lord well Has No Jurisdiction in
Cum of Accused Men.
Ivos Angeles, July 7. In his open
ing statement today Attorney Clar
ence Durrow declared that District
Attorney Fredericks swore falsely,
when he made the affidavit that John
McXamara was a fugitive from Jus
tice and asserted that the extradition
of McXamara was a "dastardly crime,"
without parallel and was really kid
naping. ,
When Judge Bordwell's court re
convened this morning the position
of the defense In the McXamara case,
regarding their plea as to the Juris
diction of the court, was further de
fended by Attorneys Harrow and
Scott.
They attempted to show that John
McXumara's case Is different from
every other case ever parsed upon
by the supreme court.
It Is unlikely that Judge Bordwell
will pass on the plea of the defense,
concerning hl own Jurisdiction, for
several days.
Attorney Harrow argued that even
though the court did have Jurisdiction,
to try tho case, that McXamara could
be tried only for the crime for which
he was extradited from Indiana to
Calif irnia namely: that of having at
. iimtn.i fo nlnce a chareo of dyna-
'mlte at the Llewellyn iron works.

will be surpassed. If nothing happens
to mar the good work."
Mr. Cohen also stated that In his
opinion there would be a great In
crease In the output In practically
all of the grain centers of the north-'
west.
"While there nre spots where the
yield will not bo heavy," he said, "the
output still will bo somewhat more
than in 1910.
"Not only will there be a heavier
crop, but tho quality of the grain
promises well from a milling point
of view. There are few reports ot
smut to alarm either buyers or sell
ers this season, and this fact aione
will Insure a greater marketing than
during the past two seasons, when
smut was shown In abundance In even
the best districts.
"There Is no doubt that If the re
cent rains had fallen a few weeks
earlier tho entire Pacific northwest
would have produced such a heavy
crop that the railroads would have
experienced difficulty In moving It
promptly,
"Not only Is there an enormous
showing of wheat this season, but the
output of alfalfa is almost double
that of any recent season.
"ThiB, together with very good
promise for the price, ought to make
farmers much mora optimistic than
ever before."

Pendleton can now boast the laig

according to the Foster it Kleisi-r
artists who yesterday finished the
sign on the back of the grandstand
at Hound-up Park nnd their opinion
i.- a worthy one because their coin
puny is the largest of Its kind in the
west. The new sign is 300 feet ic
length nnd 20 feet wide, giving it an
area of 6000 square feet.

The painting of the Uound-up

of the next show, there nre two
scenes depicting wild west life, one a
picture of a bucking broncho with
the buster riding him straight up and
ihe other a steer being jerked off
his feet just after being roped.
A picture was taken of the back of
the grandstand yesterday just as the

Young Woman Declares President's
Relative Swayed Chief Executive
in Alaskan Coal Case.
Washington, July 7. That Charles
Taft, brother of President Taft was
the means whereby the Morgan-Guggenheim
interests imiuced the presi
dent to grant them the Controller
Bay lands, which gave the syndicate
a strangle hold on tne rich Alaskan
coal fields, is the gist of a story cir
culated In official .circles today.
The story' resulted from an Inquiry
made by Miss M. F. Abbott, who as
serted that Richard Ryan, represent
ing the Guggenheims obtained the
rights to Controller Bay.
She asserted that she found a post
script of a letter from Ryan to Rich
ard A. Ballinger, who was then sec
retary of the interior. In the letter,
she claims, Ryan says he talked to
the president but made no Impression.
He then had Charles Taft to do the
job and no further objection to the
claim was made thereafter. The
charge will undoubtedly be investi
gated. Ship Not Listing.
