SAYS DEFENSE BUNDLE OF LIES Closing Arguments by Prosecution In Iron Workers Case Testimony Ridiculed and Denied Ninety-two Dynamltings Sanctioned by Union. Court Keeps John Butler of Buffalo In Jail for Perjury Denied Know ledge of Fund. IXDIAXAPdl.13. 1ml., Dec. IS. Chnrnulorixini; the defense of the un ion men on trial in the federal court here for illegnlly transporting dynn mitt ns n "bundle of lie nnd expla nations which do nut explain," Sr cial Assistant United State District Attorney Xoel opened today the government's case against the lic ensed men. Xe eluded the defence for not sending Olaf A. Tveilmoe and K. A. Clancy of San Francisco, and other defcndnnls to the stand, as serting the defense ntturneys knew these men could not make ntifac tory answer to the gmemmcnfs charge. Itldlculo Defendants' Claim Xoel ridiculed the claim that the defendants had not noticed (he union hooks nnd were not nwnre of the fact that John J. McXnmnra was hjcndfng $1,000 n month. Ho declar ed that JlcNumarn did not net nlune, nnd traced II. S. IIocMn's affiliations with Ihe other defendants. The government's arguments nil! continue four days. Xoel followed the details of the al leged conspiracy in nn effort to con nect the various defendants. "I am not here," haid Xoel. "to consider whether the war against capital was just or unjust, hut only whether the law hns been violated. Since the arrest of the McXuraar.x brothers there hns been only one ex plosion on structural steel work iu the United States. We have tdiorru that ninety-two dynamiting occur red between the years 1905 nnd 1911." Uutlcr .Still In Jail John Duller of Ituffalo, vice pre': dent of the International Association of Bridge nnd Structural Ironwork ers, who wiis locked up last night af ter his bond had been increased from $10,000 to $15,000 for alleged per jury, was btiH in jail today. AUr Duller had testified yesterday, Judge Anderson scathingly arraigned what he termed "a display that has tu'tcn place here in in the last two weeks." 'ThU man Dutler," the court add ed, "swore to things that he knew were untrue, nnd everybody hete knew he Was committing perjury." Dutler denied knowledge that the union appropriated $1,000 n month to John J. McXninaru, which, the government charges, was used to de fray tho dynamiters expenses. "There must bo such n thing as enlhusiai-m in crime," xnld Xoel, "when n convention will rine, face the west and offer n silent prayer for one of the worst criminals in his tory." Xoel referred to tho Ironworker?.' convention at .Milwaukee, which con vened shortly utter John McN'umara arriu-d in Iis Angeles under arrewt E KILLED BY CONSTABLE MANILA, Dec. 18. Lieutenant K. II. Johnson of the I'hilipiiiuu con stabulary today killed Arcani, the notorious outlaw chief, in a personal encounler. Arcani is known to have murdered seven persons. Johnson and other members of the constabulary met thu outlaw gang on a small island near Dasilun nnd in the engagement which followed Ar cani mid tno other outlaws were kill ed. CHINESE SLAVE DEN RAID BY OFFICIALS SAN FltANCISCO, Cal Doc. 18. Led by United States District Attor ney McXab, a posse of Immigration officers and police early today bat tered down oaken doors in u Chinese slavo girl den hero, capturing five Inmates and a score of ylsltors.

The crowd was unusually good, and very appre ciative. This Is the first successful attempt In Bedford at producing can tata or oratorio. With tho musical talent of Medford, It Is to be re gretted that a largo chorus has not been orgauUcd before for this class of music, as It Is very Instructive to local singers, and Is an education along the llnu of sacred music, which Is an essential to the higher grade of church and school music. Tim chorus numbered about forty-five, and the local orchestra, while not large, did very good work. Mr. Talllandlcr, the director, deserves credit for what he Is doing In a musical way for Medford, and It Is to be hoped that his next chorus, which is to be organlxod Immediately after the holldajs, will number a hundred singers. Mr. Talllandlcr generously gives hi services and music free, re quiring a small fee of two dollars from each member, which Is, how ever, returned ai mo enu or ine term, provided the parties have given regular attendance. A good portion of the chorus last evening was from Central Point, and local singers In terested In music feel very grateful to the Central Point contingent. "The Rose Maiden" Is a very tune ful work, perhaps the most popular of Its class. The composer, Fred erick II. Co wen, was born In Jamlca, of English parents. At a very early age, he was sent. to London, where ho studied In the Itoyal Conservatory, and afterward In I.elpslc. Ho has written two or three operas, but none of them was very successful. Ho Is best known for his cantatas, songs and symphonies. He took tho place of Sir Arthur Sullivan as director of the London Philharmonic society, a position which ho still holds. Musical works tike "The Hose Maiden" require a chorus of at least ono hundred voices, for tho reason that there Is a lack of dramatic In tensity found in opera, making tho success of tho work depend upon volume ot tono. Thero Is no reason why Medford should not have a cho rus of this sixe, which could bo used to splendid advantage In connection with stars like Schumann-Hclnk'and Gadskl, who mako annual visits to our city. Mr. Talllandler has made a success, financially and artistical ly, of tho Medford Conservatory of Music, and local singers should en co ura go him with an attendnnco at behearsats which wilt start Immed iately after tho holidays. Tho leading parts In "The Rose Maiden" were well sung by local singers of Medford and Central Point. Tho list Is too long to mako personal mention, but suffice It to say that "Tho Rose Maiden" as n whole was a perfect success. The cast ot tho cantata was: Soloists Sopranos Mrs. Kd Andrews, Mrs. L.
