 Motorman Johnson was seriously in iured and dispatcher Parsons was cut about the face by flying glass. Con- duetor J. D. Lee and the passengers were uninjured.

 Ortie D. McManigal who confess ed to having actually blown up the Hewellyn iron works here in De cember, 1910, at the direction of J. J McNamara, will be brought to trial, but it is expected the state will recommend a light sentence be cause he turned states evidence,
 Bribery charges against Bert H.. Franklin a detective employed by the McNamara defense, probably will be dropped now as irrelevant to ,he main issue
 'rhs completes the part of the state of California in the affair. but District Attorney Frederick= declared tonight that if the United States gov ernment instituted any investigation concerning any unlawful transporta- tio of dynamite. or if authorities else where in the United States wished to delve in the cause of the explosions where labors were involved, it was a matter in which he had no further concern, though any information at his disposal would be given 10 the proper authorities desiring it.

Chicago, Dee. 1,-"I consider the outcome great personal vindication for me" said William J. Burns here today when told by the Associated Press of the sensational developments in the McNamara case at Los An geles.
 Especially" he added, after men occupying such exalted positions as Samuel Gompers and others have re- peatedly charged me with planting the dynamite at Los Angeles. For lowing them every socialist paper and every labor paper have so often printed stories of frame ups in the case that some good people were beginning to think that the prosecu- tion was not 'on the square

HISTORY VS.

EDUCATORS SAY SOUTH RUNS TOO MUCH TO TRADITION
 NOT TO KNOWLEDGE
Education of Negro Is Final Solution of the Race Problem in the South Say the Prominent Teachers
 at Houston, Texas,

Houston, Tex, Dec. ] The south is long on history and her venerable traditions and lamentably short on practical. knowledge and a wise sense of commercialism. according to pre- dominating thought and opinion of the educators gathered in Houston to att tend the 22nd convention of the Southern Educational association
 This opinion was brought out strongly in the three personal talks made at the morning session of the convention today The speakers were E. & Richardson of Baton Rouge, di- rector of agricultural extension for the state university of Louisiana M | Britain, superintendent of schools of the state of Georgia and Dick J.. Crosby of Washington. D. c.
 Not until the southern negro is educated properly will tine race ques tion of the south begin to find so- lution. This fact was the predomin- ating thread of thought through se- ries of interesting and highly in- structive talks made at the evening session of the convention tonight
 As the negro is of the south and all of his activities are there, it de wolves upon the south to see that he is given educational facilities fitting to his needs, circumstances and daily life. This it was stated, should in- clude moral and civic instruction, in- struction in hygiene and personal habits, training to suit his oceupa- tions as well as the regular practical school course.
 The speakers were Dr. ". $. sut- ton. head of the school of education of the University of Texas; Clarence N Ousiey, president of the Fort Worth Record; pr James II, Dil- lard, president Of the Jeanes Found ation and general agent of the Stat  CT Fund. New Orleans, and Dr. Phillips of Birmingham, Ala,
 The convention win close satur day night with an address by Gov ernor Joseph w Folk of Missouri on the subject Education in Repub- lie.
 Tomorrow there will be three ses- sions. The morning session will be given to speeches on the subject Of education of the mountain child. The speakers are Prof j. C.

ProeeedInas are Brief.

All of todays proceedings were lumped in a few minutes At the morning session of court District Att orneys Fredericks obtained an ad- 8onrnment mH afternoon. This was considered plausible because of reg istration fraud warrants known to be impending in connection with the oomine elections
 Failh in this doatrne however.was iolted when it became known that Lawrence Sullivan. an investigator employed by the defense ha- been in Fredericks' office and that Attorneys Darrow anu Davis 'also had been there
 At the afternoon session the cours room was packed, many attaches of Fredericks' office being present G. Ray Horton and w Joseph Ford. two or Frederieks' deputies. wore their best clothing and Mrs. Fredericks had a seat inside the rail James B Me Namara sat mex to Attorney Scott who slapped him on the back and put his arm around him
 When John J McNamara entered and took ? seat besides his brother, vacated for him by Darrow, there was small doubt of what would occur. The pleadings of the men aroused no stir in the court room No ballfr pounded for order No relative was there 10 weep or to make demon stration. A civil case could not have been more quietly conducted and no amount of hysteria could have em- phasized or equalled the impression of tense anxiety which peryaded the room
 Once for 3 moment before J B. MoNamara stood mp to plead, baby cried Is startled mother hustled 1t out of the room and the prisoner did not even look around
 Two floors above theSourt room a few minutes after adjournment the of fees of the district at,orney was alive with throng of people friends of the prosecution. newspapar men and paotographers The district at torney threw wide the doors and they railed in.
 Exhibits of all kinds in connection with Che case were conspicuous and 1he very (steN beam upon which James B McNamara was supposed to have placed the dynamite bomb that wrecked the Times was exhithR- ed to visitors t was related that only d few nights ago a dynamite explosion was conducted by the state on the outskirts of the city in much the same way that the Times is believed to have sbeen destroyed

in getting money The trouble has grown out ol the disturbed condition of the railroads of the country .hro ieeislatiye actions by congress and ai- so in the several states. The money centera are not anxious to put ont money on railroad sureties until ai- fairs are settled,
 The promoters. however. made 1t plain that they believe with a six months extension of the time limit tn the subscription notes. and with these placed as sureties. they will be able to build the road They promise definite answer within few weeks, and if the proposal goes through properly work will begin in tual construction On this end of the line in short while.
 Peculiar it is that the de.ay means much for Hot springs The money centers would not agree to put up the money for fitting three small lines together. such as exist in tbls case, with their minor equipment and their varying kinds of construction. On the other hand the bond buyers demand that if their money is used tlie railroad shall be built in per ioenent fashion, heavy steel rails used over every mile of the route tie equipment be modern in every particular. all of wiic makes the mle short lines not very valuable to the whole of the road except for the rieht of way and the gradne that has been done Also the bond buyers demand that no greater than one per cent grade shall exist, and that the curves on the read snail be materially reduced
 Chairman Xix, Secretary Bedding M A, Eisele, Dave Laser. Judge Curl Harry M Westcott, E. M Cohen and George Callahan, Tom Dogherty made a hit when he stated that he was glad to get a six months extension on his subscription, and believed others would feel the same way about it.
 Every speaker agreed that Hot Springs was better off in getting a more thoroughly built road, even ii there would be delay of six months. and most of them appeared willing to get the road f they had to wait q year longer just so the city got a western outlet
 When tho question Of me extensicn was put it was iR motion in enees taat all persons pledged their SUD port to an extension and their inGu- ence with others of the subscribers and oa a standing vote every citizen in the house stood and voted aye.
 The promoters win return here in about two or three weeks and give the people a definite answer as to what they can do, and when they can do t, and il is anticipated that the work will be begun at this end of the line within very short while. The road is to cost about s20.000 a mile which will mean that much Of the sgl scription wiil be spent in the le- cal markets shortly after it is re- pIedged and long before it is due for f. is not due until the road comes into Hot Springs and then only in payments at separate dates thereaft- CT.
