A CROWD OF 1000
CROWD OF 1000
Surrounds the Court Where His
Case is Heard.
Something About the History Of
the Ex-Priest.

KANSAS CITY, Jan. 20.-Had not the
police authorities taken extra precautions
to guard the life of j. v. Mcnamara, the
ex-Catholic priest and A. P "a. lecturer
at whose lecture last Tuesday night
riot occurred. he would probably have
received very rough treatment, if not
lynching.
His preliminary hearing to answer to
the charges of malicious libel and circu-
lating fould and obscene literatuwe was
to have occurred at Justice Latshaw's,
at Grand avenue and Fourteenth
street, this morning at 10 o'clock
Long before that hour crowd
Of four hundred people gathered in front
OF the court room, evidently bent on
giving McNamara rough usage when he
was brought from the jail to the court
room.
AIT 9:45 such a large crowd had gather
ed that the authorities decided to trans
fer the hearing to the county jail. where
Meme amara was lncarcerated. The news
that the hearing was to be held there
quickly spread, and a mob numbering
fully 4,oO0 people gathered outside the
Jail.
A number of extra policemen were de-
tailed to keep the crowd In order. and
only a comparatively small number
gained access to the room in which the

his cell to the room he was very pale.
and he evidently feared that personal
violence would be offered him. The
court room was packed, and the specta-
tors regarded him with anything but
friendly glances
hen the case was called, AIcNam-
ara's attorneys moved for a continuance,
they not having conferred with him and
it was granted not only for his reason,
but because of the threatenht aspect of
the mob. The hearing was set for Thurs
day next at Justice Latshaw's court.
What Started the Row.
The whole trouble started last Tuesday
night when a crowd of 1000 men coll
1ected outside the Turner hall to take
vengeance on ex-Priest j. ". Mcnamara.
The speaker appeared on the platform
with rifle and stating that there was
murder in the air, asked for protection.
After a little lecture he and his wife,
both armed, left the hal and entered a
carriage. A stone was thrown. Men amara
fired at the crowd, and "a running fight of
several blocks ensued, with many shots
and a shower Of stones. The lecturer
and his wife finally escaped. No one
was seriously injured.

cular letter of invitation have been re-
ceived from great many men of prom

opinion in favor of making the confer

gestion comes from all sides that the
employers of labor and the rerrcsen-
tatives Of labor. as the ones best know
i'm the actual conditions to be met,
should be brought 10 the front in such
discussion.
The plan of the parliament is mod

in Falling Building.
New YORK. Oct. 12.-Nhile the storm
which has ragged here for twenty-four
hours was at it's height just before a
o'clock Wednesday morning new
eight-storY building at "A Monroe
street collapsed, bearing down with
it the house at - Monroe street and
the rear extension of the building on
the other side. as. Both places were
filled with sleeping tenants, who were
buried under the tremendous mass of
ruins. The crash of the falling walls
aroused the neighbors, who. scantily
clad, began the work of rescue, which
was continued well into the day by
police and firemen. They mined far
under the bricks and beams and NOR
tar and from the ruins they took the
dead and injured
As a result of this horrible catastro-
phe eight persons are known to be
dead, one is missing and sixteen
others are more or less seriously in
iured. There have been many COM
plants that the structure was a weak
and flimsy affair.
Mr. Aaronowitz, who was the owner
of the new building at "A Monroe
street. was arrested during the after
noon and arraigned before Justice
Hogan in Essex Market police court.
In spite of the fact that Aaronowitz
was charged with homicide, Justice
Hogan discharged him. He, however,
issued subpGnas for Aaronowitz and

up the building, to appear before hIm

cles-Not Very Encouraging.
New YORK, Oct. l5.-R. G. Dun Sc
Co S weekly review OF trade says:
Business is stin waiting for the develop
ment of retail trade. There is little better
demand in some industries. but not good
in others. Wholesale dealers in nearly all
branches are halting because business does
not yet show distinctly what it is to be- Lower
prices for the great farm staples and lower
wages in SONG establishments, hinder
purchases for consumption. while polit-
icHl interest and uncertainty also have
some retarding influence. Meanwhile large
imports and small exports OF merchan-
disc. with inadequate employment for
money here, are raising the rates OF foreign
exchange SO that possibilities Of gold exports
somewhat affect the stock market. The halt
ing attitude for the moment is disturbing to
those who have looked for continued gain,
though rightly considered it is the natural con-
sequence of conditions which were to be ex-
pected at this season.
The government crop reports are not great
ly trusted and yet have an influence and actu-
ally exaggerate the tendency toward lover
prices because they are supposed to report
all the crops too low. Men calmly reckon
that II the government report indicates
over 400,000000 bushels of wheat the
crop must tie over 500OOO,O0O bushels and
the price is slightly lower. Corn has been
stronger for receipts are hardly quarter and
exports barely an eighth Of last year. and the
question is whether the actual yield, II above
the government estimate, may not prove lower
than has been supposed.
THE iron industry records larger produc-
tion in September than in any other month
this year, but as prices are gradually weak
ening because Of insufficient demand for fin
ished products. some works are preparing to
close or shorten time.
The wooden mills still have numerous be-
lated orders for fan goods, but the demand for
spring does not increase, though in nearly all
the lower priced products domestic makers ap-
pear able to command most of the business
that exists.
