noons in
NIT'L SESSION
W. C. T. U. Annual Meet Be
gins Saturday in City Made
Famous by the Brewers.
CONVENTION HOTEL BAR
HAS BIG SIGN, “CLOSED”
Organization Will Conduct
1911 Gathering- Along- Pro
gressive Lines.
Milwaukee, Wis.—The Women’s
Christian Temperancex Union has in
vaded Milwaukee. Two thousand
white ribboners occupy hotels and
boarding houses in the famous city
and have set about their preparations
for the 38th annual convention with a
determination that threatens a
draught in the town of the great
German commodity. Their first ac
tion was to insist that the bar of their
convention hotel be closed. M. P.
Gilpatrick, the proprietor took a look
at the visiting delegation, headed by
a determined lady from Kansas, and
complied. A big sign bearing the in
scription, "Closed in Honor of the W.
C. T. U.” will decorate Gilpatrick’s
thirst parlor during the six days of
the convention, October 28th to No
vember 2.
Similar Demands.
The women have also made similar
demands upon the manageimnt of the
Republican house, which will be the
official headquarters of the organiza
tion. Their success, however, is not
yet assured, for the proprietor
ensconced himself behind the desk
and pleaded for time. W. C. T. U.
leaders however are confident that
their demand will be met and they
will, in the first day of their occupa
tion of Milwaukee have "reformed”
two of its leading hotels.
Other members of the organization
have been busy in the many Milwau
kee hosteirtes patronized hy the dele
gates, in some cases meeting with
smiling compliance to their requests
for the “closed bar" during their con
vention, and in all receiving permis -
sion to decorate the windows amt
walls of the buildings with cards and
signs announcing their presence.
Great Importance.
The convention this year Is of
great importance to those interested
in prohibition. The organization will
conduct Its meeting along progress
ive lines and will probably adopt
measures for a campaign to regain
the territory recently tost to prohibi
tion in New Engiand, and for further
campaigns against the “demon” in
states that are not yet ‘"dry.”
It is thought by many that a radi
cal departure in the campaign plans
of the W. C. T. U. must be adopted in
order to increase the organization's

MllißA TRIAL JUDGE
BESIEGED WITH EXCUSES
New Panel of Forty Veniremen
Summoned Friday. Exami
nations More Speedy.
Los Angeles.—Veniremen summoned
in the new panel of forty to try the
ease of Jas. B. McNamara, indicted
for murder as a result of The Times
building explosion, came to Judge
Walter >rdwell an hour before the
opening of eourt today to present ex
cuses for relief from possible Jury
duty. In the box at present are A.
G. Winter, under challenge by the de
fense for cause, the disposal of whose
case was expected to be the first ac
tion of co’ t today and the four tales
men who have been passed by both
sides for cause.
The principles upon which each side
has been interpreting section 1076 of
the penal code t covering provisions on
the qualifications of jurors are at
present f. irly well defined, and it is
believed that further examinations
therefore will go forward much nioro
smoothly and rapidly.
Vital Questions.
The question which each side con
siders vital have resolved themselves
into tin* following:
“Whether a talesman believes In
capital punishment; whether he has
an opinion of guilt or innocence of
the defendant which he could not re
move; whether he has also a fixed
opinion as to the cause of the explo
sion which ho could not remove;
whether lie has made personal inves
tigation of the wreckage of The Times
building and taken a special interest
in the ease.
Fixed Prejudice.
Fixed prejudice against labor unions
of itself thus far has not been effec
tive In barring talesmen, but usually
the defense has been able to show
the linking of such an opinion with a
prejudice against tho defendant, who
Is a member of a union and challenges
manipulated that way have been al
lowed.
Any man who has no ideas upon
unionism, has neither said much nor
thought much of the McNamara, case
and who has no scruples against the
capital punishment is pretty sure to
get on the Jury and thus far the com
bination has proved Itself a rare one.
