L03 ANGELES, Cal., July 14.
John J. McNainara and his brother
James I). McNamara, tho union men
accused of murder lu connection with
tho destruction of the Los Angeles
Times building, will go to trial Oc
tober 10 next. This decision was
given by Superior Judgo Walter Bord-
well this morning.
The specific charge upon which the
trial will proceed is covered bj in
dictment number G496 relating to the
death of J. Wesley Reeves, an em
ploye of the Times at the time the
building was destroyed.
As soon as court opened a long
discussion and sparring for time was
started by the attorneys for tho de
fense. District Attorney John O.
Fredericks argued for tho state. AU
of the defense attorneys except Job
Harriman, who did not speak, made
eloquent arguments to tho court, set
ting forth their reasons for asking
delay in the Impending legal battle.
They statebTthat because of tBo grav-
ly of the case' and the mass of testi
mony which would have to be band
led, December 1, in their opinion,
would bo a suitable date for the be
ginning of the trial.
Fredericks was on his feet at once
arguing delaying. He said the prose
cution would be ready to start inside
two weeks, but asked that the men go
to trial September 1.
Judge Bordwell said he would
"split tho difference" and named Oc
tober 1 as the date.
Attorneys for tho defense, after the
setting of tho trial date, intimated
that they would ask for separate
trials for tho accused brothers.
All of the cases in connection with
the Times disaster will bo called
October 1 and tho eighteen other In
dictments will be set over pending
the trial for tho murder of J. Wesley
Reovgea who was private secretary
tollar ry Chandler, general manager
of tho Times.
When court opened at 10 o'clock
this morning District Attornoy Fred
ericks stated that so far as the state
was concerned the caso was ready for
trial "any time." For the defense,
Attornoy Joseph Scott aBked that the
date be set for December 1.

the real forces behind the move to
oust Dr. IJnrvey W. Wiley, chief of
the bureau of chemistry in the depart
ment of agriculture, from the govern
ment service, will be investigated by
the house committee on expenditures
in the agriculture department.
Congressman Moss of Indiana,
chairman of the committee, today an
nounced that theinvestigation into the
attack on Dr. Wiley would bo started
this afternoon.
Wiley Still Fighting.
Wiley today has not receded from
his fighting attitude and, by refusing
to contradict, admitted that certain
officials of the department of agri
culture were -attempting to undermine
him. Ho said:
"I am positive that certain persons
1 w-tnterests are trying to assassi
nate me not my body, but my char
acter. Of the two modes o nssassi
nntion, I infinitely prefer tho physi
cal. "I know that the special interests
are leagued against me, but just which
interests they are I must refuse to
specify just now. There' is a tide,
however, which will swamp even King
Canute the king in this instance be
ing the vested interests."
Let Justice Ho Done.
Asked to specify the persons in tho
department who are working for his
downfall, Wiley replied with the Latin
quotation "justitia fiat, coleum mat."
"That," he said, "is exactly appli
cable to the matter. If a certain of
ficial of the department, whose name
I will not now mention, loses bis of
ficial head through this congressional
investigation, you will seo how trite
the phrase is."
Tho phrase means: "Let justice
be done though tho heavens fall."
By a "certain official," it is bo
lievcd Wiley means Georgo P. Mc
Cabe, solicitor of the department and
tho men on tho pure food board, tha
committee on personnel of the agri
cultural department, which recom
mended that Wiley be "ullowed to re
sign."
Uasls for Libel Suits.
Wiley said ho regarded many
statements circulated regarding him
as amplo justification for libel suits.
Indicating the way in which the
attack on Wiloy is viewed by many,
ouo democratic member of the com
mittee which will make tho investiga
tion said:
"What wo want to know is: Who
wants to firo Wiloy, and why!"
If ho should lose his government
job there is little doubt that Wiley
will get along. Ono New York bak
