playing a leading part in the movement
for general arbitration treaties the
world must, understand that America
"is prepared for war. " The short life
of a'wnrship for first or second line of
defense approximately twenty years
has caused the Secretary to ask more
ships this year, not to increase the navy,
but to maintain it at. its existing
strength. This strength, he says, is
being diminished by the elimination
from active service of the battleships
first constructed for the "new navy."

the disbursements of the current fiscal
year have exceeded the receipts by

hii( this haa been limited to a small
number nf operators. Spot markets in
several eases have, declined under the
weight of a liberal crop movement and
a tendency to increase (he size of the
I'jlimntes of the crop. The New Or
iis Times Democrat put it at 14,835,-0-1
) hales" exclusive of linterH, and re
packs. Some have figured that this real
lv means an estimate of something like
l:i,,(iHl (Mil bales. A lexas estimate was
high as 15.845,000 bales. The aver
age estimate of 183 members of the
New York cotton exchange was 15,238,-
000 hale:. December notices amounted
to at least .10,000 bales and being larger
thao exppc'ed, a more or less depress

have heon .large. Following the decline
1 i raw cotton, the trade in cotton gjoda
in said to have slackened somewhat and
a large Chicago house is said to have
!ni:ti:ca downward revision of domea-
ticc. Northern spinners' takings con-
tinne ti riin ronsidersbly behind those
of last year. Rum rs are in circulation

dinners' Association's report will show

I qui M. The spot sales in Liverpool have
j been small, Wall Street and Waldorf
j Astoria interests have sjld to some ex
lent. There h talk to the effect that a
1 3upernlmndance of low grades exists in
the present crop, and that this is a
weak feature. On the other t)and, the
' continent is buying freely in Liverpool
and is taking considerable quantities of
I the in xt crop months here, particularly
! ( K'tnber, but also September as well as
July and August. Oi't)ber is in such a
j demand that it has been selling at 12
, points over July, whereas in recent
years July has sold at '200 points over
Oct:. her. Auii-,t has been five points
over July us against. 20 points under Ju
j ly n year ago.
! riie.se premiums on Auirustand Octo-
lier at this time of the year are mosT
unusual ami n Meet the urgency of the
demand lor these far-off months, Al
ready it is believed that the continent
haa taken several hundred thousand
hales of the next crop monthB. The
sales of print cloth and convertible last
week reached the big total of 15,000,
(Hili pieces, or more. Many think that
the crop is being overestimated and
that the census report on the ginning
nn December Klh ani the Bureau of Ag
riculture estimate of the crop, on Dec.
1 1 1 It will t d to make this clear. The
rrc -nt e l I weather is believed to have
interfered with marketing and ginning.
Hutihe sentiment here is still very
bouris-h and on Friday new low levels
g I were reached for all months except De-
irember Memphis sold freely enough'to
' give the to a rumor that the next re
port of the National Ginners' Associa
tion on the ginning will be bearish. The
active months here were telling at one
hundred points under the corresponding
months in Liverpool

the first degree in Judge Walter Bord
well'i court yesterday. His brother
John J. McNamara. secretary of the
International Association of Bridge and
Structural Iron Workers, entered a
plea of guilty to having dynamited the
Llewllyn Iron Works in Los Angeles
on Christmas day. 1910.
John B. 'McNamara's confession
clears up absolutely the tragedy rff the
explosio.i and fire which at 1:07 o'clock
on the morning of October 1st. 1!10,
wrecked the plnnt of the ls-Angeles
Times, at First and Broadway, and
caused the death of twenty-one per
sons. For 19 of these deaths the Mc
Namara brothers were indicted and J.
B. McNamara was on trial specifically
for the murder of Charles J. Hsgger
ty, a machinist, whose body was found
nearer than that of any otl.er to the
spot where the dynamite was supposed
to have been placed.
Both men's sentences were set for
December 5th, when it is expected Dis
trict Attorney John D. Fredericks will
ask for life imprisonment for James B.
McNamara, the confessed murderer,
and probably fourteen years for his
brother. The men's lives are consider
ed saved. The great contention that
the Los Angeles Times was not dyna
mited is dead beyond resurrection or
agreement.
In less than twenty minutes, the big
case was disposed of, but for hours
previously there had ben a feeling
that something startling would develop,
and so closely guarded was the infor
mat ion that the spectators were pre
pared for almost anything except the
thing presented. It wai not thought
that, after the vigorous bit tie waged
thus far, one side would l:iy down its
arms so willingly, so freely and even
so happil -for both prisoners smiled
chewed gum and appeared as they have
on otherdays confidently unconcerned.
Even the District Attorney was not
sure until just before noon that the end
was in sight.
It was James B. McNamara who had
balked at entering into an arrangement
to plead guilty if it might affect his
brother. He was willing to sacrifice
himself, but he wanted his brother to
go free. The attorneys however, con
vinced him that the better course was
for both to plead guilty and take their
chances on a merciful sentence.
Word that John B. McNamara was
coming caused the first ripple of excite"
ment. He had not visited the court
room ,ince October llth, when the
trialB were begun and the case nf the
McNamaras was severed. When he
en U red if was generally realized th;it
case had reached a climax,
The bailiff rapped louder than usual
when Judge Walter Bordwell mounted
the bench. Instant silence followed.
"The People versus McNamara," re
marked the court and Attorney U
Compte Davis, nf the defense arose.
"In this cae," he declared, "afti r
long consideration we have-concluded to
withdraw the plea of not guilty and
the like course we intend to pursue with
reference to J. J. McNamsra, in the
case of the people against him wherein
he is charged with having destroyed the
Llewellyn Iron Works."
