DUBLIN, September 8, 1911.
A strike Of newsboys began here several
days ago. 1t was director against the

day, when the second edition of that Jour-
nal comes out, the boys. to the number of
several hundred. large percentage of
them with bare feet, assembled opposite
the Independent and Herald Offices in Mid
die Abbey street, and awaited the vana
laden with the papers. There we're few
police about at the time, most of them be-
ing at the railway stations and the North
Wall in connection with the railway
strike. When the vans appeared the boys
proceeded to attack them, held up the
horses and threw the parcels into the
street. where they were furiously torn to
pieces and scattered to the wind.
The following day the situation was
much worse. The lads again gathered
outside the Herald Office, and no edition
came out. The attack was next directed
against the Mail. which was completely
driven off the streets.

their appearance in that district Two
bandits mounted on good horses and
armed with carbines, called at a farm
house, belonging to Don Jose Chacon, sit
uated on the mountains near Puente

Of refusal.

guard has gone in pursuit OF them, but 1t

fure them at the present moment, because

and Bryant are all good men and all
too valuable to be left out of the lineup
If Fitzgerald fails to return to school one
of them will likely be shifted to fill the
place made vacant by him. but II he
does return he is sure to regain his old
position. and this would cause 1t to seem
that somebody will lose his job, unless
could be shifted to the back field.
The same policy as that pursued by
Georgetown last year in regard to the
Virginia game will be held to this sea-
son. A hard game was scheduled last
fall to take place two weeks before the
Virginia game, and none was played on
the Saturday before. The arrangement
seemed to work all right, and the same
thing was effected this season. The
University Of Pittsburgh was the team
met in 1910, while this season the Army
will be the Blue and Gray's opponent.
The game will be played at West Point
November 4. just two weeks before the
Virginia contest. 1t may be that game

players to any great extent will be ar

be of more benefit.

MAY FILL JURY BY
END OF THE WEEK

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Nov. o7.-By
the end Of the present week in the
trial OF James B. Mcnamara, charged
with having caused the explosion that
destroyed the Los Angeles Times
plant and killed twenty-one men, it is
expected the work of jury selection
will be we'll on its way toward COM
pletion. Three men are yet to be
qualified before the fourth use of per-
emptory challenges. Should two or
even one juror be placed in the box at
that time. it is believed that the per-
emptories will again be in order be-
fore Saturday and even with the
Thanksgiving recess it is predicted by
many attorneys the box would prac-
tically be filled.
When the jury finally is chosen, the
next deviation from the ordinary
course OF criminal procedure would be
in order. The state would then make
the motion, and 1t is expected it will
be filed and granted, for the addition
OF two substitute jurors.

for the occasion was, The handwrit

King Beish2zzer was Judged, and ex-
planned that ministers at the present
time, just as Daniel, must not be in
vited to the revelry, for, again like
Daniel, they will be needed if the
feasting is abruptly ended by some
calamity, and will be then required to
have full control Of their minds.
His feeling toward the person who
gets OF a street car without having
paid his fare was expressed while
talking on how to judge ones self by
the eighth commandment. He said
that any one who above ed the conduc-
tor to pass him was guilty of theft
