d likewise did not seem perturbed

and likewise did not seem perturbed over the news.
 At the time of the arrest of the Me Namara brothers, detectives of the Cin- cinnati force made thorough search of the McNamara home here. They found certain amount of wire, a num- Der of steel saws and several dry bat tery testers.
 James B. and John J. McNamara were associated with the union labor movement In this city for years and at the time of their arrests their numer- ous personal friends here secuted the idea of their guilt. So well were the men known here that almost every labor union in the city drafted resolu- tions protesting against the arrest and pledged financial aid during the trial. There is no way to estimate the amount of money that was collected in this city to be used in the defense.
 Until the executive board of the h. ternational Association of Bridge and Iron Workers meets at Indianapolis probably within the next week it could not be said what action would be taken in relation to the confession. H. s. Hockin, second vice president and like wise acting secretary of the associa- ton, said. He arrived here tonight from Indianapolis.
 "Will the McNamara brothers be re- pudiated by your organization?" was asked by the correspondent of the As sociated Press.
 'The board will decide that he re- piled.
 Our members have always had the greatest confidence in the brothers and
 have done all in their power to assist
 them In the greatest fight that has
 ever confronted the labor world" he continued "Only Tuesday last I re- ceived a letter from John telling me he had no doubt of the outcome of the case. He always wrote cheering news In this letter he asked me to take care of arrangements to move his mother to Los Anegeles so she could be at his side in his time of trouble. l was coming here tomorrow to ar ! range these affairs, but today I re- ceived a telegram from Atlanta, Ga., from our president, Frank M Rryan. asking me to come to Cincinnati and meet him and our delegates who are In attendance at the meeting of the Amer ican Federation of Labor. I had no in timation of the turn of affairs in the case when I left Indianapolis, and was shocked when l was confronted with one of the newspapers announcing the fact that the brothers had pleaded guilty

TRY CHANGE OF DIET
It Improves Character and MOlds a
 Mans Temperament

From the New York World
 If you are not quite satis fled with your mentality, your mental abilities, and per- haps your character are not all that they should be. you will feel greatly interest," ed in the declaration of the late Profess sor Friederich Nietzsche, whose writ ings are now being translated into Eng hsn that a mans diet has much to do with the moulding of his temperament and character. The British Medical Journal, with apparent approval of Prof. Nietzsche's theories, cites the case of Herbert Spencer. who adopted vegetari- anism by way of experiment, After liv- ing for twelve months on strictly vegeta- rian diet. Spencer was so struck by the deterioration of his literary output that he destroyed the whole of it and revert ed to his previous diet Spencer and his critics noted an improvement in his lit erary style almost immediately after he began eating meat once more.
 Professor Netzsche deals with national types and national diets rather than with individuals. He attributes the stol- i'd fatalsm of the oriental to his diet of rice. When a profound dislike of exis- tence gets the upper hand'' he says, the after effect of a greater error In diet of which a people has been long guilty comes to light. The people of Buddhism (not its origin) is thus to a considerable extent dependent on the excessive and almost exclusive rice fare of the Hin doos and on the universal enervaton that results therefrom. The immense prevalence of rice-eating impels to the use of opium and narcotics, in like man. ner as the prevalence of potato eating impels to the use of brandy. It also im- pels in its more subtle after effects, to modes of thought and feeling which op- crate theoretically.
 The British Medical Journal takes up the thread of the argument at this point and says: "There is here indicated a field of research which dietetic reform CTS might well explore if only by way of varying the monotony or incessant reit- eraton of the superiority in food value of lentils and haricot beans over beef. steak and mutton chops.
 There are children who show an in tense repugnance for animal foods and seem to thrive best without them-'phys- iological vegetarians' such individuals might be called. Other children prefer meats and savories to the lighter foods which the modern parent commonly pro- vides It may or may not be true that avoidance of animal foods affects the po- siton and tends towards the elimination of the cumulative instinct; facts are want ing to decide d question so complex.
 "Vegetarians who have before the adoption of that regime been moderate drinkers and smokers often lose wholly or in part the taste of alcoholic bever- ages or tobacco If therefore, the crav- lng for narcotics attributed to rice eat ing races have a dietic origin, it is pre- sumahly due rather to the deficiency of the nitrogenous factor than to the veg etable origin of their food.'

kirby's Statement

Dayton, O., December 1.-"Manifestly the object of the confessions is to pro- tect the American Federation of Labor and higher up officials of several na- tional unions from exposure by the sup p~esson of all the facts, but, in my judgment, this will fail'
 J. Kirby, Jr.. president of the National Association of Manufacturers. made the foregoing comment on the McNamara confession. Had their trials continued ,' he added there would be no question of involving labor leaders in the most diabolical conspiracy of the age l have been expecting the confessions some time. The moose has been drawing tauter and tauter. The evidence is so conclusive and overwhelming, involving so many prominent labor officials, that escape through perjury, intimidation or brbed jurors seemed impossible.
 Tt has been evident for some time that the defense was planning to prevent the facts being disclosed in the trial.
 Perhaps the developments at Los An geles will cause politicians who have stood for anti-injunction and other vicious labor legislation to change their minds.''

TO INDEX MERCHANTS Women of Kansas Clubs Will Classify
 Tradesmen

From the Kansas City Star
 Some of the Kansas club women are working on a plan to give the. merchants of the various Kansas towns a rating as to durability and honesty in business. The mercha nts have a rating card for their customers. man who pays his bills promptly is in Class A. One who pays, but is little slow. is in Class B. One who pays finally. but does it on the in stallment plan and only after much urg- ing, gets into Class c. while the dead beats" are labelled Class D. .U.la
 The women believe that. since many merchants exchange ratings on customers, they have right to ask their friends to furnish them a rating on the merchants themselves, and it is proposed that the women publish pamphlets about the mer- chants of each town.
 The women purpose to list all, merchants who deliver goods just as advertised who ere just as careful in filing te;e- phone order as If the goods were pur- chased in person, should be listed as Class A. Class R would include those goods they advertised and who tried to please their customers. even if they were handling a sliohtiy inferior grade of goods than some other merchant. Hs
 Class c merchants would be those who treated their customers in "a gruff man. ner Merchants whose employees were fn- different to the customers and those mer- chants who tried substitution or sent out unsalable goods at first class nr'ces and then refued to adiust the differences would be put into Class D.
 It is not purposed to make this list a state wide affair. but the club women in ca oh town are to submit reports of what class they believe each merchant in their home town should be i7. No detective work is to be done. The women them selves would gather the material for making up the classification, and club ,yomen would receive whatever benefits would come from the lists. ss
