"Jesus Christ, If he were on earth today, would say that the New York stock exchange was a den of thieve), that trajns men to burglarize the people's earnings and offers bribes to silence the tongue of accusations before Judges and examining boards,' said Mr. McCash, secretary of the Ameri can Christian Missionary society, speaking before the International con vention of the Disciples of Christ to day. "Could Jesus walk today through our great American cities and talk to men about conditions as he sees them, he would say of New York. 'It Is a catch-basin of floating corrup tion. Its open dens of Iniquity shame the pure face of the arching SAYS FREDERICK SWORE FALSELY Morocco Situation Acute. Paris, July 7. That the Franco-German controversy over Morocco has again taken an acute turn was evident here today when Ambassador Cam- don arrived from Berlin, and at once went into conference with the heads of the foreign office. Oni his return to Berlin, Cam- don will at once notify Germany that France opposes the contln- ed occupation of Agadir by Ger- many, and will demand an ex- planation of the presence of German warships there. Aga- dir Is a port on the sound coast of Morocco. sky, its secret sings, midnight revels, morning drunkenness and evening ' lust prepared at night in the dawn or in the gloaming, for the doom of Sodom." "He would say: 'New York Is America's greatest metropolis, and a type of other cities of the land. It is a city of millions who reject me. Its cellars and garrets are crowded with men who cruelly beat their wives and children. Their faith is riches. Its freight houses and cold storages are built upon the subsllls of greed and deceit. They withhold the neces sities of life from the hungering mul titudes to extort exorbitant prices from the poor.' ' CHIEF'S WIFE GOES BEFORE GRAND JURY Seattle, Wash., July 7. Mrs. Charles W. Wappensteln, wife of the ex-chief of police, convicted of ac cepting a bribe, was called before the grand jury at 10:50 o'clock - this morning. Her appearance Is the big gest sensation of the latest, session of the grand Jury. She was on the list of witnesses In the WappenBteln trial, but was not called. Her testimony today probably will consume most of the time of the grand Jury. BLEW OUT HIS BRAINS WITH RIFLE ALBERT SUCKAU PLACES GUN UNDER CHEEK AND SCATTERS ULOOD AND IIIi.UNS OVER THE CEILING AND WALLS. At 11 o'clock today, tired of life, and despondent over his health and family affairs, Albert Suckau took a rifle and blew the whole top of his head off at the family home, 18."!) North Liberty street, this city. He was dead almost instantly, and the room where he committed the deed was sputtered with blood and brains. He placed an old army rifle loaded with 4.J-C0 cartridges under his l"ft cheek, pulled the trigger and liter ally blew the side of his head off, the ball passing up through the skull and into the celling. His mother, who was washing clothes near by, heard the gun go off, and rushed to the ho 11st) to find her son dead. She summoned L. K. Gardner, the steam woodsaw man, for whom his brothif workf-d, and they notified Coroner 'doughwho will hold an Inquest over the remains. Suckau has not been well for two years. About that time he was operated on for an abscess of the brain. Since then ho has been, unable to work,, and his mother and brother supported him. '. Itnrnliiir Kfliides. Vancouver, II. C, July 7. Bnrnlnf effigies Is the latest escapade in dulged In by striking laborers and only a squad of special police, hur ried to the scene, and the timely ar rival of II. S. Itolston, manager of the Vancouver Exhibition associa tion, where non-union' workmen are employed, prevented damage on the exhibition grounds yesterday after noon. There were about 1,000 strik ers, recruited chiefly from the ranks of the Btrlklng carpenters. GRILLS THE PROSECUTION , KIDNAPING OF M'NAMARA MOST DASTARDLY CRIME IN HISTORY OF COUNTRY Began His Argument by Pointing His Finger at the Prosecut ing Attorney and Saying "Ditrict Attorney, John D. Freder icks Knew That He Was Swearing Falsely When He Made the Affidavit That John J. McNamara Was a Fugitive From Justice" His Arraignment of the Prosecution Was Ex tremely Bitter. Terse points made by Clar- ence Darrow today iu McNa- mar a case. "John McNamara was spirited away from the Btate of Indiana and into the state of California, all with conspiracy and conniv- ance by Burns and his agents . and the district attorney's of- flee In Los Angeles." 'Colorable extradition, found- ed on fraud and perjury, and deceiving both governors." "Methods employed In getting the prisoner to California ab- horrent to any one's sense of Justice." "If the court should try this case and sanction the methods employed, the evils which would result would be Infinitely greater than the good that could be accomplished." "Better that the prisoner, even If guilty, go scot free than the laws be violated by detec- tlves all over the land." "If detectives cam contrive to deceive governors, and their 11- legal methods are sanctioned, It would bring an endless trail of evils in the wake of this case." Los Angeles, Cal July 7. "Dis trict Attorney John D. Fredericks knew that he was swearing falsely when he made the affidavit that John J. McNamara was a fugitive from Justice." This was the opening statement of Attorney Clarence Darrow, when, shortly before noon, for the first time, he argued before Superior Judge Walter Bordwell In connection with the McNamara case. Turning until he faced the district attorney, Darrow pointed his finger at Freder icks and shouted: "You know, and Detective William J. Burns knows that the whole mat ter of extradition was arranged long before the hands of the law were even laid upon J. J. McNamara. "You know, I know and William J. Burns knows that your Illegal con spiracy to kidnap John J. McNamara from his Indianapolis home and rush him Into California without even a chance to defend himself was one of the most dastardly crimes In the his tory of the country." Without n Parallel. Turning to Judge Bordwell, Dar row continued: "At the time of the Haywood Moy- er and Peltlbone case I examined every authority bearing on kidnaping cases, and right here I want to go on record as saying there Is not In any book a parallel In the history of law. The prosecution can not hold up the Pettlhone rase as being slmllr In any way to the McNamara rase, because the extradition of tho prisoners was made In a l;iful manner." The ringing address of the chief counsel for the defense In the union case created a sensation among the crowd in the court room and members of the legal profession who were there to hear the Chicago attorney take his first action in the hearing were visibly impressed as point after point In the argument was sent home. The prisoners, particularly John Mc Namara, himself a lawyer, sat In the Jury box, his clear eyes never for an instant leaving the face of the attor ney who was making the fight for his life. The occasion was of much mo ment to him, sitting there facing that most grevlous charge. Kidnaping n Crime. That he was satisfied that his case was In good hands was portrayed by his every motion. "John J. McNamara," he contin ued, "was never a fugitive from Jus tice. The extradition papers had been made out and were on their way to Indianapolis before John Mc Namara was arrested and he could not have been a fugitive from Justice. "When word was received from the Los Angeles district attorney that the extradition papers were well on their way to Indiana, Detective William J. Burns arrested our client, but not., until the superior courts were closed for the day. Then Burns hustled his prisoner to a police magistrate where he was formally turned over to rep resentatives of Fredericks' office and other Burns operatives and rushed to California. "Fredericks knew, and William J. Burns knew, that the law called for John J. McNamara to be cited before a superior court Judge before he could be legally sent to California. I say that a police magistrate had no right to turn over McNamara to the California authorities and this one Instance alone takes John J: Mc Namara without the jurisdiction of the California courts." 1 When the noon adjournment was taken Darrow was still speaking. BROTHER CHARLES WAS USED UNITED TRUSS LEASED WIRB.J Washington, July 7. That Chas. P. Taft, brother of the president, was the means whereby tho Morgan-Gug-gonhelm interests Interceded with ( President Taft to grant them the Controller Bay lands, which gives the 'syndicate a stranglehold on thef rich Alaskan coal fields, Is tho gist of a Btory circulating lu official circles her etoday. Tho story resulted from an Inquiry by Miss M. E. Abbott, who asserted that Richard Ryan, repreglntlng the Ouggenhelms, obtained the rights of way whereby the only outlet for the Alaskan coal fields was controlled. She nsserted that ho had found the postscript of a letter from Ryan to Richard A. Bnlllnger, then secretary of the Interior, which, under date of July 13, I'JIO, said: "Dear Dick: I went to see .the president the other day about this J Controller Bay affair. Tlie president asked whom I represented, and I. told him, according to our agreement that I represented myself, That did net w.'cm to satisfy him, so I ent for Charley Taft, and asked him to tell his brother whom I really represent ed. Then the president made no further objection to my claim. (Signed ''DICK." M'ss Abbott said she found the postscript In the official files of the Interior department. She further charges that Secretary Fisher en dorsed papers In the ease without in vestigating the situation. It Is alleged flint the Guggenheim.? had advance information of Presi dent. Tuft's order opeirng the Con troller Bay lands to entry, and thus Seized them before any one else had a chance. The charges undoubtedly will be Investigated, eveni pending an official Inquiry, which Senator Polndexter, of Washington, has demanded.
