Contempt Case Against
Their Attorney
Is Tabled
FIRST VENIRE ON HAND
Muuy MoiiiImts of Merelninta and
Manufacturers Association, Prison

Hitter Rnttlo I to Io Waged.
IiO.i Angeles. Calif.. Oct. 9. Judge
P.ordwoll, who will preside over the
trial of the MeNamara brothers for
dynamiting the Times building, today
Indefinl'oly postponed the case
against Attorney Harrington, of the
MeNamara defense, who, was charg
ed with contempt of court, as an out
growth f his refusal to answer
questions propounded to him by the
grand jury. InvesCgaing the explo
sion ense a few weeks ago.
The postponement of tile Harring
ton case l.s generally looked upon as
a decided victory for the defense.
Tlie first panel of veniremen from
whom will be drawn the Jury of
twelve men who will finally decide
the guilt or Innocence of the two ac
cuse, hrohers, are today on hand to
qualify for Jury duty. Neither of the
defendant are present,, as the trial
will not begin formally until Wed
nesday. Most of the men present are
Knowing signs of their unwillingness
to serve as Jurors In the case.
Attorneys for the defense have
served notice on the court that they
will demand separate trials for each
of the two brothers and the district
attorney must now specify which he
will call for trial first. It Is almost
certain that James MeNamara. who
Is charged with actually throwing
tho bomb, which destroyed the Times
plant and caused the death of a
score of employes, will be the first
to be tried.
It today became absolutely certain
that the first struggle, between tho
opposing counsel will come within
the flr't minute of the actual trial
Wednesday nnd tho bone of conten
tion will be the veniremen, who tojay
qualified for Jury duty.
In the venire Is included a num
ber of members of the Merchants'
end Manufacturers' association, which
Is the organization which Is backing
the
prosecution of the McNamaras.
When the first of 'hose reaches the
jury box to qualifv Chief Counsel
Harrow of the defense, will demnnd
that he and all other members of the
association be excused, for cause.
Till -s motion will be objected to by
District Attorney Frederick and upon
the ruling ef Judge Hordwell will de
pend whether the work of securing
the Jury will be shortened.
Attorneys for the prosecution will
Insist that the court cannot hold that
membership in the association Is a
legal obstacle to serving on the jury.
The defence contends that to allow
a member of the association to be
enmo a member of tho Jury would be
placing the fate of tho accused broth
ers In tho bands of their accusers.
Practically every large city in the
United States Is represented by one
or moro newspaper corespondents,
which shows that the Interest In tho
trial is probably without parallel.
How strong the desire Is of tho ve
niremen to keep from serving was
shown by the fact that eight of tho
first twelve called to qualify were
stricken from the list and the four
others liad their excuses taken under
advisement.
When Judge Hordwell ordered
luncheon, he had passed on thirty
three of the first venire of 125 and
three names only are on the list for
further examination. The other
thirty were dismissed. Indications
are that It will be nearly Impossible
to Fccure a Jury.

relation to both the company and the
strikers. Is more grave than at any
time since the strike started. This is
o-peciaily true of the conditions at this
place.
Today two hundred strike-breakers
tare housed in the shops of the South

by the company to resent any demon
stration on the part of the striking
employes.
The San Francisco police commis

be arrested if found outside the rail
road properties.
The railroad company announces
that the conditions are satisfactory,

little until spring.
The federal building Is to consist
of a basement and two stories and a

the postoffice while the second floor
will be used for a United States court
room and for offices of the federal

London, Eng., Oct. 9. With the

with Tripoli and Malta, reports
leaching this ci y today tend to show
that the first reports of heavy Ios3
of life and much bloodshed, In the
fight between the Italian and Turk
ish forces before the two towns were
captured by the Ital'ans were ridic
ulously exaggerated.
The reports show that tho casualties
were confined to the accidental kill

Tripoli wa- practically unharmed by
the attacking Italian warships
The reported sinking of a Turkish

Abolish Slavery.
Rome, via frontier, Oct. 9. The
Italian authorities at Tropoll have
issued a proclamation suppres-ing
slavery. Tripoli was the only re
maining port on the coast of Africa
where slavery still prevailed, not
withstanding the efforts of Great
Britain and France to prevent the
traffic.
Advices from Tripoli say groups of
Turkish soldiers are comming in to
surrender. The Arabs armed at the
last moment by the garrison with
Mauser rifles, landed by the steamer
Derna. are gradually returning to
Tripoli and offering their submi-slon.
Their only request is that the Ital
ian commander purchase their rifles
for a few francs, wh'ch seems to
show that not only are the Arabs
those at least in the vicinity of Trip
oli not ready to fight for Turkey but
n!-o that starvation prevails among
the natives. More than twenty thou
san 1 of these, it is rumored, will soon
be forced by hunger to return to
