INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Oct 81
United States District Attorney Mill
er today said he was not in position
to discuss the Mcnamara investigation
by the federal grand jury here The
grand jury investigation here is to see
whether James Mcnamara and Nc
Manigle carried dynamite from one
state to another if 1t is proved they
did it would involve them with the
federal authorities, in addition to their
present trouble.
1t is believed that the cause of the
action is to ascertain whether there
is sufficient evidence to sustain a
charge against the McNamaras of
against the United States
laws. All interstate transportation is
governed by strick federal statutes.

Hyde Defense Caught Mapping.

KANSAS CITY, Oct 27.-Formal ex-
ception was taken here today by the
defense in the Hyde case to the action
OF the court in overruling the motion of
the defense to quash the second ven
ire of talesmen on the ground that it
was illegally revised. They were so
confident of the upholding of the mo-
ton that they scarcely designed to
question the veniremen and so there
are eight prospective jurors in the
box whom they scarcely examined. Six
of them will probably be challenged.

The Italian censorship has reached
such a ridiculous extent that even

The action of the government is the
most sweeping ever undertaken under
=,
demans that the combination of com
panies which make up the Upited
States Steel corporation and its sub
sidiary companies be declared Illegal
and that they all be dissolved; that all
the companies be prohibited from pay
ing dividends to the steel corporation,
and that all the individual defendants
be restrained by injunction from con-
tinuing the trust; that the subsidiary
stock be divided in such a manner
as to prevent the continuance of the
trust, and that the trust leases on ore
lands be cancelled as they continue
the monopoly.
The fight aims at the very existence
of the big corporation and the entire
legal machinery of the government

Rebels Proclaim Republic Today=Amer

Refused China

SHANGHAI, Oct 27.-The proclama-
tion of republic is the answer of the
Chinese rebels to the governments s
overtures for peace as implied in yes
terday's surrender by the Manchu
dynasty to the National Assembly's de-
mand which agreed to terminate the
war of revolt in consideration of i'm
mediate and drastic reforms.
General Lii Yuan Hung, leader of
the rebels in the field, has proclaimed
himself provisional president of the
Chinese republic. He has notified the
foreign consuls that everything will
be done to protect foreign interests
during the present unrest. 1t is believ-
ed that the revolutionists will accept
him, at least temporarily.
General Lii does not believe that
the promises of Pu vi, the emperor
and his advisors are bona fide.
Pacific Fleet May Go.
LOS ANGELES, Oct 27.-That the
Chinese revolt may cut short the visit
of the Pacific fleet in San Pedro harbor

dict it will be necessary to send at
least a part Of the squadron to the
far east to protect the lives and prop
erty of Americans in the orient. The

that ships are needed. Twenty-six
U. S. fighting craft are to assemble at
San Pedro November 1, to take part
in the greatest naval show ever held
on the Pacific coast.
Mutiny Expected.
SHANGHAI, Oct. 27.-It is feared

PEKIN, Oct. 27-The war loans

BOSTON, June 12-Catcher Gibson's
major league record. that of catching l34
successive games for Pittsburg, in 1909,
is safe for another season. Oscar Stan
age, the bulky Tiger backstop, was in fair
way to threaten this record, but an in
jury received in Philadelphia Friday
makes the realization of his hope an i'm
possibility.
Stanage has a split finger. He will be
out of the game for some time. In the
meantime, the bulk of the backstopping
falls on the shoulders Of Joseph Patrick
Casey, one Of the youngest backstops in
the league. Despite his years. he holds
the confidence Of the Detroit pitchers
and. while he will be unable to reach Os-
cars high standard behind the bat, he
will. nevertheless. give a good account OF
himself
The accident to Stanage Is a most de-
plorable one in more ways than one. He
was not only regarded as the league
best receiver. but he infused confidence in
his pitchers and was respected as a hit
ter.
This season was destined to be Stan
ages best one The backstop realized
what it meant to the club to keep in
good condition His interest in the team
was manifested when he asked Manager
Jennings to work him every day. Oscar
aspired to beat Gibson's continuous catch
ing record
Nothing but an accident will prevent
me from beating Gibson's mark" said
Stanage recently. Il will give the club
the best that ! have. and II Jennings is
satisfied to keep me in, l will justify the
confidence he imposes in me by catching
and working my best 1t Is not very
often that l get hurt, so l believe that l
will be fortunate enough to go through
all right
An important factor In a teams sue
cess is the catching. Stanage's work has
been such as to bring down upon him the
genuine appret iation OF the fans. OF
course other factors have contributed to
the teams good. but splendid catching Is
part of the winning combination.
Regarding backstops. the Tigers are
! not any too well equipped behind the bat.
With Stanage out Casey is the only
available receiver. Charley Schmidt
arm is still sore. He has been working
out at Bennett Park with fine results but
the throwing member is still a bit out Of
whack Jennings may deem it necessary
10 wire for Schmidt to join the team on
the road, for Schmidt, even with weak
arm, plays valiant game.
Gameness is a characteristic which all
star players lay claim to. Otherwise they
would not be stars. This is particularly
true in Stanage's case. Time and again
he has blocked off runners at the plate
questioned. The leg protectors are all
