"I never planned my life far ahead. The work of an ironworker probably precludes such planning, for such a man does not know when he leaves home in the morning that he -vill return at night.

MNAMARA- Los Angeles, Cal. Sitting in a corridor just outside his cell in the county Jail, John J. McNamara, secretary-treasurer of the International Associa tion of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers, briefly sketched v.hr; termfd the uneventful lives of himself and his brother, James B. McNamara.

"I was born in Cincinnati Dec. 23. 1876," he said, "and I am the oldest of six children living, although there were 10 children originally. I Ht-tendeci the common schools In Cincinnati until I was 12 years old and men toon a tnree-year course in a business college. "Nothing of any importance happened to me until the panic began in 1892, when I turned my hand to anything and everything to keep the pot boiling, as they say.

"I did my first bridge work at Cincinnati in 1898, joining the union the next year. Between 1898 and 1904 I visited various sections of the Middle West, following my trade and working on steel bridges, viaducts and similar structures.

Col. Alberts D. Silvelra, formerly commander of police, was appointed minister of war. According to tonight's news, the royal ists are entrenched less than a mile from the Spanish frontier and are able to retreat If necessary Into neutral territory.

TAFT IN SEATTLE A BIG AUDIE SAYS CONGRESS CANNOT MAKE THE PROPER LAWS TO GOVERN ALASKA. SHOULD BE A LOCAL BODY TO KNOW THE CONDITIONS Seattle, Oct. 9. President Taft faced here tonight one of the largest and by far the most enthusiastic and responsive audience he has met in any of his recent trips. He was greeted with prolonged cheers and constantly was Interrupted with outbursts of applause.

Tho president discussed a number of subjects, including the relation of government to business, the tariff vetoes and Alaska, the last subject of vital interest here. He declared that Alaska should have at least a semi-self-governing body. Two years ago Mr. Taft advocated here a straight commission form of government for the territory, declaring the population not stable enough for a full measure of self-control. "That proposition has not met approval," said Mr.

Taft tonight. "I still think It the better way, but the man who stands on a dogmatic statement and says 'no' and never consents to a violation of that principle makes no progress. "Congress cannot make the necessary laws for Alaska. Alaska must have a hope there will be no politics played. I hope the two houses of congress will unite In bringing about a change that will result in the development of Alaska and making that territory valuable to Itself and valuable to all mankind.

"I see no reason for government ownership In Alaska, however, more' than elsewhere. We should introduce there the same limitations as to the disposition of the public domain as apply to the disposition of the public domain elsewhere in this "As for myself, I favor the leasing system. It has proved a success in Australia, New Zealand and Canada. What you want is a condition of ownership that will attract capital. Some people- have an idea that drive capital where It does not want to go.

But if there Is anything that iias wings; anything that is sensitive; anything that won't go where It doesn't want to go, it is Under a leasing system you would offer an Inducement to capital to go in. Let's try it. I ajn not insistent, irut it does seem to me to be the best way. The profits to the government from the leasing system could be turned back Into the territory for its further development" Congressman Humphrey, who introduced the president, declared that the people of the Pacific coast, from British Columbia to Southern California, are for Mr. Taft MINING ENGINEERS MEET.

San Francisco, Oct. 9. The annual convention of the American Institute of Mining Engineers opens here Two hundred delegates are expected. Robert Hunter of Chicago, vice president of the organization, will preside at the sessions. THE CE "The last building- I worked on was the Rockefeller structure In Cleveland.

COMPLETE MODEL OF PLANT OF THE TIMES IS IN COURT Los Angeles, Oct. 9. The trial of the McNamara brothers, both of whom' are under indictment for murder in connection with the explosion which wrecked the Los Angeles Times on Oct. 1, 1910, was virtually begun today before Superior Judge Walter Bord-well, although perhaps nobody except District Attorney John D.

Fredericks knew whether John J. or James B. McNamara would sit in the prisoner's chair when the case was called formally day after tomorrow. Today's indications pointed to James B. McNamara as the first man to be tried.

Of the 125 men named in the first venire Of prospective jurymen, 122 responded to a call for preliminary examination and at the close of court Judge Bordwell had weeded this number down to 45, who were instructed to return Wednesday. Counsel for both sides agreed that this short cut saved days of arduous work. One of the three men who failed to respond is, dead, the second is in Europe and the third is out of country. One venireman pleaded deafness "when people speak low" and several said their wives had been nervous ever since subpenas had been received. William White, a man of advanced years, said he was subject to nervous headaches unless he went to at 9 S.

A. Upton said he was building two schoolhouses and had to finish them. Both were excused, as were all others who were able to show that their business would suffer if they became Jurors in a trial of long duration. The Rev. W.

B. Trostle was excused because he is a clergyman, and Charles Christy, a tailor, was found not to be a citizen and got off. Attorneys Clarence Darrow and Le-compte Davis, for the defense, watched the process. Whichever man goes on trial Wednesday, the defense, it was said tonight, will be the same that the Times building was destroyed by gas and fire and not by dynamite and fire. Out beyond the hills north of town there has been constructed a secret explosion experiment station, where repeated discharges of gas and dynamite have ploaed up the earth in order that any difference in the action of the explosives might be shown.

Besides the re-sultf of these experiments, spectators at the trial will see a toy business block, complete to the most minute details, set on a table before the jury. The structure Is a model of the Los Angeles Times building wlih one side cut away to show tiny printing presses, linotypes, desks and all the. machinery of a great newspaper office. By this tc defense hopes to demonstrate the effects of the explosion In accordance with its theory.

9. Out of the testimony given today before the United States senate committee which Is Investigating charges that corruption contributed to the election of Senator Isaac Stephenson, was developed evidence that the Stephenson campaign managers regarded the $107,793. admittedly expended for the campaign for nomination, as small compared to $150,000 or $200,000 which might have been spent for a campaign more systematically conducted. The costliness of the campaign was said to be partly due to a close fight between two factions in the republican party in Wisconsin, one headed by Senator La Follette and the other by Senator Stephenson, who as a "regular" republican, was determined to win over munlcatlon with Ortiz, Mexico, today. and learned details of the loss of life and generaJ property damage caused by the storm which swept the west coast of Mexloo last week.
