Explosive In Barn Found.

Immediately after the Offices Of the
Union were searched, Detective
Burns and a squad of his men went
to the barn west of indianapolis
where the explosives were unearthed.
The detectives then returned to the
city, and search Of the basement Of
the union headquarters revealed
more explosives
President Ryan in an interview
said that he had been connected with
Union labor for several years and
had never heard Of case similar to
the one charged against Mcnamara,
but that he had known of cases
where plants had been made by
enemies Of labor organizations, and
that If explosives were found they
must have been placed by enemies
Of the organization.
The warrant. for his arrest was
based on an Indictment found by the
grand jury in Los Angeles.
Responsibility for other destruc-
tive explosions in different parts Of
the country would be placed as the
result of an investigation now in
progress, Burns said.
This is the beginning of one OF
the greatest criminal prosecutions
the country has known" Burns said.
Says McGcnlgle Told Of Il.
Burns says Otto McGonigle told
him where these explosives could be
found, and 1t was upon this informa-
ton that the search was made. The
dynamite and nitroglycerin were
buried under saw-dust in the barn.
Jones. the owner of the barn, said
the explosives were placed there last
January and that Mcnamara and
other men made various trips to the
barn with suitcases, but he did not
know the purpose OF the visits. Jones
says that Mcnamara rented the barn
and paid him $25 a month for its
use. 1t is about three-quarters of
mile west of the city
The warrant against Mcnamara
charges him with murder in COM
snlicity in the dynamiting Of the Los
Angeles Times Building, and further
ALLEGES he was implicated in an ex-
plosion in the Llewellyn Iron Works,

and just half-mile down the noun
tain from Elk Garden. 1t is what is
known as low vein mine, and when
working full employs about 100 men.
1t is not known what caused the ex-
plosion
Very little trouble has been expert
enced from the mines of this region,
either from gas or dust, and the
catastrophe came as complete sur
prise. The mines are nearly all drift
mines, worked into the mountains
either on level with or above the
surrounding country. The last mine
disaster in this region occurred at
Thomas, w. Va, in 1905, at which
time 25 men lost their lives.
The rescue work is being pushed
rs rapidly as possible, shifts of men
relieving workers in rapid success
sion on account of the conditions in
the mine and in an effort to get to
the point where the men are thought
to have been working. While it ie
thought all the men who were at
work in the mine have persisted,
there is no let up in the attempt to
push an opening through, with the
faint hope that by some means some
OF the men may have escaped death.

Washington, D. CA report Of
the incidents along the American
border In connection with the bat
tie Of Aqua Prieta,. Mexico, was re-
quested by the War Department
from Colonel Skunk, Of the Depart
merit Of Colorado, who was In com
mand at Douglas, Ariz., when the
battle was fought.
The State Department, In COM
menting ON the summary OF the Next

through American Ambassador Hem
~ +. Wilson at Mexico City, de-
clared that 1t is Inferred from the
Embassy's telegram that there Is
some discrepancy between the news
which had reached the two capitals
as to various particulars connected
with the Douglas Incident
Coincident with the War Depart
ment's action was the announce
ment from the White House that the
President was inclined to await the
receipt OF a full copy of the Next
can reply before making any COM
ment. The Presidents advice to all
was to be patient and to accept the
situation in tolerant spirit.
We have promised the President
our hearty support" said Represent
alive Sulzer, of New York, chairman
of the House Committee on Foreign
Affairs, following a conference be-
tween his subcommittee, Secretary
of State Knox and the President.
Ambassador de Zamacona declared
that the Mexican Governments reply
to the United States would be found
to be friendly in form and essence"
DR.. Vazquez Gomez, head of the
Confidential Agency of the Revolu-
tionists, counseled General Madero,
the insurrecto chief, in several mes
sages, to be cautious, pointing out
the already grave situation that ex-
listed between the United States and
Mexico and the necessity for a con-
tinuance of fri sndly relations be-
tween the two countries. DR.. Gomez,
besides his attempt to thwart the at
tack on Juarez, Mexico, is believed
to have sent additional information
to his chief concerning armistice pro-
posals.
The President stated that, Difficult
ties must arise out of conditions in
Mexico because Of the proximity Of
fighting to the American line
But" he is quoted as saying, 1T

The Presid ent is of the opinion
that the Mexican Government will
observe to the best of its ability the
definite restrictive policy along the
border which it promised to enforce
in its informal reply to the State De-
partment's demand.
