Full Confession Is Otissned Explaining Destruc TOT of Times Buildii g EIGHTY EXPLOSIONS;
 LOSS OF $2,000,009 Exciting Chase of the Secretary of Bridge and Iron Workers By
 Detective Burns Is Like
 Romance

Chicago April 2s.-capt Stephen Wood. chief of the Chicago detective bureau. said tonight that a full con- fession had been obtained from one Of the men arrested in Detroit in connec- ton with the dynamting of the Los Angeles Times building.
 The alleged confession is said to make 90 typewriter pages and to cover the movements of the men now under arrest and others who are being sought by de- tectives.
 According to Captain Wood it de- scribes in detail the dynamiting of buildings railroad trains. buildings and factories where conflicts between union and non union labor existed. The loss of many lives and the destruction of property valued at almost $e,0oo,0oo is said to be detailed.
 The chief of the Chicago detective de- partment said the confession was placed in the possession of attorneys repre- senting the National Erectors' associa- ton and has been sent to Los Angeles to be used in the trial of the cases against the men under arrest.
 "The confession was made at the house of Detective Reed of the Chicago police department. In South Chicago" said Captain Wood More arrests in the case are expected and any disclosure cf the details of the confession at this time would make them almost impos- sible
 While here the men under arrest were never in communication with each other and neither knew his companion vas prisoner in the same house. They were questioned necessarily and finally a confession was obtained from one of the men.
 Then the California authorities were rotified al once and after indictments had been returned there the extradition rapers were rushed here. Not until these papers were received was any move made to place others wanted in the case under arrest.
 The plants of dynamite found since the Indianapolis arrests were told in the confession and the names and where abouts of other men now being sought gre known to the detectives in the. case"

TAFT SPEAKS FOR
 UN|TAR|ANFAIT

Washington, April 23-A plea to all Uni tarians to stand forth and aid the faith and to provide in Washington a princi- pal church" to correspond with the ca thedrals of other denominations was made in remarks made by President Taft today at the regular service in All Souls Unitarian church, of which he is regu- lar attendant. In his address, made from the platform of the church in the inter- est of a movement for large Unitarian edifice, he referred to the discussion of his religious faith during his presiden- tial campaign.
 The President said that to some people it may not seem a necessary task to have a church which should show forth what Unitarianism is to the country.
 Anyone who has run for office,' said he, "and has received telegrams from various parts of the country saying it is reported here that you are Unitarian; telegraph at once to silence this out rageous report,' will understand the ne- cessity for showing what Unitarianism IS. and that it is progressive Christianity, H. lustarting and carrying forward as the supreme ideal the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man.
 Now, I believe this is a time for us to oren our pockets and if we haven't the money in them to assume some obliga- ticns ahead with view to making this monument to liberal religion. suitable one in the capital of our nation.'

Washington, April 23.--President Gompers of the American Federation of | abor today declared that the arrest Of International Secretary John J. Mc- Namara of the Bridge and Structural Iron Workers of America at 1ndian- apolis last night was q grossly out rageous Kidnapping and attributed the arrest to enemies of organized labor and plot of money interests to de- stroy labor unions. He suggested that the states in the exercise of their po- lice powers. are as foreign to each oth- CT as are foreign countries and that no country would think of giving up cit tzen on mere demand of another country ithout a hearing.
 How long are the American people going to stand for kidnaping?" asked MT. Gompers. "McNamara was spirit ed away without giving him the slight est chance to give prima racie evidence of his innocence, taken from his own home and state without aid of friends

BROWN HAS INCOME TAXLAW PREPARED Will do Away With Tariff Argument That Rev
 enue Is Needed

Washington. April 23.-(Special)-ln the event that the proposed constitutional amendment providing for an income tax is ratified by a sufficient number of states before the present session of Con gress adjourns Senator Brown of Ne braska, who has devoted much of his time to the matter will introduce bill providing for the income tax system or raising revenue and thus. as he declares, do away with the necessity of treating the tariff from revenue standpoint.
 If the amendment is ratified, said Senator Brown today. 'the whole tariff situation will be completely revolution ized The argument that duties cannot be reduced or wiped out because we need the revenue will be no longer valid. The minute I can get an opportunity to do so I shall introduce an income tax bill I have completely drafted. It has been submitted to the best authorities and IS designed to raise by taxation of in comes somewhere from $l00O0,0l0 to SOO,- Q0N,o a year The lowest estimate placed on this revenue is s70,o0o.000, which is the figure of the treasury department Other estimates run up to $100,0O0,oV. The treasury department estimates of revenue that would be produced by the corpora ton tax measure has been proved by ex- perience altogether too low. From this and other ndices my own estimate Is that my bill will produce just about $100. GOO a year.
 Tt is impossible to say just how much chance there is for this amendment to be ratified this season. Thirty states have ratified 1t already-35 will make it part of the constitution.
 "I have kept in very close touch with legislatures this winter and all along have had strong hopes that the amend ment will be ratified without waiting for the legislatures that do not meet until next winter.

Investigation Continues


 Los Angeles. April 23.-Upon separate trains and hidden away in locked Pull man compartments. under the srrvei- lance of armed guards, John J. Me- Namara, secretary of the international Structural Iron Workers association. and his two alleged confederates, James Me Namara and Ortie McManigal, are being rushed to this city to answer to the charge of having dynamited the Los An geles Times building October l. 1910, and causing the death of 21 men. By what routes they are being brought here is . secret. When they will arrive is also unknown.
 The police here and William J. Burns, the detective who brought about the ar rests. are taking no chances Elaborate precautions are said to have been taken to prevent an attempt at rescuing the accused trio. Chief of Police Sebastian said today that he feared publicity re- gerding the movements of the prisoners might result in more dynamiting and the loss of lives and railroad property.
 Secrecy also is regarded as necessary to avoid legal complications. At Labor Temple. Los Angeles, union headquar- ters today, there were bitter denuncia- tions in the way in which McNamara and McManigal had been taken into GUS tcdy but these came only from the rank and file of union members.
 Comparisons with the case of Mover. Haywood and Pettbone. the union men who were spirited away from Colorado to answer to the charge of having caused the death of Governor Steuhenburg in Idaho several years ago were freouent. Every man in the Labor Temple today agreed that the arrest of the iron work CTS official and his two alleged accom- plices had brought to a climax the lon1 labor battles in Los Angeles and though preparations admittedly were being made for the defense of the prisoners, it was maintained that no technicaiities would b., interposed to prevent an early trial. Indianapolis. Ind, April 23.--InvestiKe- tion that was expected to show, accord- ing to the police and Walter Drew attor- ney for the National Erectors' associa- ton, that Indianapolis for two years has teen the headquarters of a conspiracy that has resulted in so destructive ex- plosions of dynamite. causing a loss cf more than $2.000000 continued today and tonight after the sensational arrest of j.
