New York, May 4.—Theodore Roose velt will have a signed article entitled “Murder is Murder” in “The Ooutlook” this week, dealins^ with the dynamiting of the Los Angeles Times and the ar rests recently made by Detective Hums. Mr. Roosevelt says in part "The men responsible for dynamit- inc: the Los Angeles Times building ar(' responsible not only for the wreck of the newspa))er offices, but for the loss of many lives. “The arrest was made in conse quence of testimony secured by Mr. Burns, who has been Mr. Heney’s right hand man in bringing to justice graft ers who violated the law of the United States in Oregon and grafters who vio lated the laws of California in San Francisco. He has proceeded' with im partial severity against the most influ ential politicians and the richest bus iness men. It happens that the men whom he has now arrested are mem bers of a labor organization; just as men whom Tie formerly arrested were members of the republican or demo cratic parties or of great and wealthy corporations. “I would have been a wicked thing in the former cases with which Mr Burns had to do for leading republi cans or democrats to combine to break him down and support the accused merely because the accused belonged to their political parties, and it would have been a wicked thing for capi talists and big business men to make common cause with the capitalists against whom he proceeded merely be cause they were capitalists. “Wherever any politician of any capitalist did actually take this po sition, whether in the case of the men prosecuted by Mr. Burns or in any other case, the Otulook unhesitatingly denounced them. In e.xactly the sani'^ spirit I slate the convictions ot The Outlook In expressing Its heartiest re probations of the conduct of those la bor leaders, who without waiting to know anything of the facts of the case, have flown publicly to the de fence of the alleged dynamiters whom Mr. Burns has now arrested, and who talk about the arrest as being par! of a conspiracy against labor unions. “It Is grossly improper to try to cre ate a public oi)inion in favor of the arrested men, simply because the crime of which they are accused is committed against a capitalist or a corporation and^because fhe men who are charged with committing it are members of a labor union. This is an iniquity as gross as It would have been if when three years ago the sugar trust was indicted for swindling opera tions in the New York custom house, the forces of organized capital had been put behind the indicted men on the ground that the attack on capital ists guilty of crime meant an attack on all capital. “The question of organized capital or of the relations eilher with the community at large, has nothing what ever to do with this issue. All we are now concerned with is the grave and vital question of facts, whether the accused men have been guilty of murdei’. ‘ The stern repression of murderous violence must of necessity be In a prime need of any civilization calling itself such. Whether the man attack ed is a capitalist or a socialist, a wage earner or a ])rofessional man, has noth ing whatever to do with the question and whether ihe man attacking him does or does not belong to any or ganization. whether labor or capital, whether social or religious, has noth ing to do with the question.

Cerrato, whose manner suggested that he had not forgotten or forgiven the insult of yesterday, when Abbate maggio spat in his face, was released from his prisoner’s cage and stood be fore the informer. ' "This man,” said Abbatemaggio, “struck Cuocolo with a club after he had been stabbed by the others and was half dead.” “You are a liar,” was the response they captured in the skirmish. They had two skirmishes and some have been killed, but it is not known how many. “They are killing animals they don’t want and committing great in- .iustices. They shot three helpless s 'vl:o had nothing to do on iiolitioallj’’ of otherwise— George Meis and brother and Placido Mato. George left seven helpless children.
