McNamara's Chief Counsel
Again Tells Judge He is
Discriminatory.
REBUKE IS ADMINISTERED
Morning RbhbIoii Cluirged With F.loc
tr'lflPd Verbal Exchanges When
llordwcll RefusoH to Give Defense
Same Privilege Allowed State.
Hall of Records Los Angeles, Noe.
22. Three sweeping rulings which
materially allied the state's conten
tion that a Juror Isn't disqualified
from service In the McNamara case
because of an opinion he holds so long
as he agrees that he can lay it aside
wag made by Judge Bordwell today
In disallowing the defense's challenge
against S. H. Olcott, who believed
that the Times was dynamited and
that McNamara was guilty also
against A. J. Stevens, who believed
the allegations agalnBt the unions
were well founded. Both said they
could lay their opinions aside.
Judge Bordwell also refuses to en
tertain a challenge against F. A.
Brode, made because his personal at
torney Is connected with the prose
cution. The decisions were decidedly disap
pointing to the defense. Attorney
Darrow protested their unfairness
and was rebuked by the court
, Tho rullngB will materially ' hasten
the work of securing a Jury.
Despite the rebuke Darrow Insisted
on his allegations, that the court waa
discriminating against the defense
and perfected the record so grounds
for an appeal might be specifically
evident.
High tension on the case marked
today and tho dull monotony of ex
amining talisman was frequently en
lightened by clashes between oppos
ing counsel and occasionally the court
Darrow was Interrogating F. A.
Brode. a business man and had nsk
ed him one of a thousand leading
questions with which the records are
filled, when Deputy District Attorney
Horne objected nnd was sustained, f
Darrow angrily took exception, ex
claiming: "When the other side
wants to disqualify a Juror, the court
perml'.s tlicm to ask leading questions
for half a day."
"Your remark Is decidedly improp
er." said the court.
"It Is a fact that the record dis
closes, nevertheless. I want a spe
cific ruling on this point," said Dar
row. Judge Bordwell ruled that certain
questions that m'ght bo proper in the
case of one Juror would not be prop
er In the case of another.
This plainly amazed Darrow nnd
ho promptly declared that he never
before had heard of such a ruling
and the fireworks enlivened tho rest
of tho morning session.
After a three hour examination, the
defence challenged Talesman Brodle
because ho said the Times was dyna
mited. The Mate resisted and Judgo
Bordwell disallowed it.

BANKERS FAVOR
ALDRiCH PLAN
America's Financiers Say
Present Money Reserve
System Causes Panics.
BANKS HURT EACH OTHER
Association President Says Proposed
Remedy Would Prevent UiihIiionh
Depression by Allowing Ranks to
Issue Notes and Hold Their Cash.
New Orleans, Nov. 22. Strong ap
proval of the National Reserve asso
ciation plan of ex-Senator Aldrlch,
was voiced today by the American
Bankers' convention.
Georice Reynolds, nresldent of the
Continental Commercial National
bank of Chicago, said the reserve re
quirements were such that one bank
weakened another's reserve whenever
it withdrew Its funds to straighten Its
own reserve. This unscientific system
he sa'd makes for financial panics.
He said the Aldrlch plan would
remedy this by allowing the banks to
issue notes in stressful times, without
impairing their reserve, by paying out
actual coin.
Mr. Reynolds said In part:
"That we have not had more fre
quent pan'cs, or seasons of severe de
pression in. business, is due largely to
the growing use of credit in business
transactions in this county, one of the
mot noted Instruments of which is
the bank check.
"Credit Is thus one of the most po
tent factors In all economics and
credit, to be staple, must be protect
ed by a system of currency and bank
ing which, while providing for an
amount of credit necessary to meet the
reasonable requirements of business,
will prevent expansion of credit."
He said this was what the National
Reserve association intends to do.

You are about to suffer the penalty
of being the "everything" on a pro
gressive western (medium of news
exchange) paper.
Ideas come from somewhere am
not sufficiently advanced as a student
of psychology to say from just where,
however I have one. I am sick of
being a stenographic nobody, or a
bookkeeper for nobodies. Ada wont
get there quick enough, so I write di
rectly to you to ask if there are not
places where live girls with red cor
puscles can work not tho heavy
drudgery of ranch life, but where they
can do enough work to guarantee tho
necessities and still have life and am

I know that In your country is
where peoplo live live by minutes, vi
tal breathing minutes and not the
slow enervating drag of tall build

a stifled longing to get out where
one can see It for hours at a tlmo.

ments bearing on his deals in the
Minnesota ore lands.
Lon Meritt, the backwoodsman who
d'scovere'l the Mesaba range of iron
ore, which later became the biggest
producer in the world, told of the dif
ficulties he had in raising money to
develop the ore bodies in the range,
which he explored for s'xteen years.
He sa'd he went to Carnegie and
Frick. Frick, he said, ridicaled the
idea that .there was ore in any quan
tity there and "didn't treat me like
a gentleman."
Merritt then described the building
of the. Duluth. Mesaba and Northern
railroad. He said Rockefeller rep
resentatives offered to help finance
the road and actually furnished $350,
000 to buy stock and promised fur
ther f'nanclal assistance, which did
not materialize Finally Merritt went
to New York where .a met Rev.
Gates, Rockefeller's right hand man,
and now his chief philanthropic agent.
"Gates told me how pious and hon
est Mr. Rockefeller was," stated the
witness. "This was in the panicky
times of '93. Gates suggested also
that we consolidate our mines and
railroad and that Rockefeller would
purchase the bonds a.id there would
be no further financial trouble.
"Several days I hung out and then
Gates said no one had anv money
! and that even Rockefeller was hard
up and 'by golly' I believed him but
j now i know Gates lied."
' Then he said the consolidation was
; effected and later he (Merritt) was
1 frozen out, as Rockefeller failed to
: take up the bonds.
