MILITIA CALLED ID PROTECT NEGRO Marshal of Rusellville Shot

 Guards To Protect Him
 From Mob
DOGS TAKE THE TRAIL

Russellville, April Especial )-The 6astardly attempt to assassinate City Marshal James A. Ramsey last night has had Russellville in a wild fever of ex- citement today. Adding to the intensity of the feeling large number of people from the country came to town to ascer- tain if possible who the would-be mur- derer was.
 Ramsey was shot at 10 o'clock. just as he he was crossing the street in go- ing to his room in the Douglass build ing. the assassin shooting from under cover of darkness at the corner of John Summers store.
 At the crack of the gun Marshal Ram sey cried to w. J. Hurn, whose store ne had just left, "Come here, Will, I am shot,''
 The shot of the murderer took effect In his left leg, about four buckshot going in between the knee and the groin, shat tering the bone in two places. Ramsey was picked up and carried. to the resi- dence of his mother, Mrs. R. N. Ramsey and physician called

Washington, April 29.-(Special. )-With a vote in prospect early next week, tie House resumed debate today on the farm CTS free list bill. According to members of the House who have canvassed the sit uation. practically every democrat will support the bill and more than a score of insurgent republican votes will also be cast in it's favor.
 The nsurgent republicans are also for the measure on the theory that it is a step toward tariff revision. The insur- gents also believe that the free listing of more than 100 articles and agricultural inn plements used by the farmer will recom- pense him for any losses he may sustain under the Canadian reciprocity agree nent which, 1t is claimed, puts American farm products in competition with Cana dian products.
 Debate dragged along wearily today. The academic discussion of the bill has continued for almost a week, and pres ent indications are that a vote will not be had until Wednesday or Thursday.
 Before the debate is ended. perhaps one fourth of the entire membership of the House will have been heard for or against the bill and the Congressional Record will be loaded with campaign material.

VOTE ON FREE LIST BILL IN
 PROSPECT EARLY NEXT WEEK

w. H. Hammond of Minnesota, the only democratic member of the ways and means committee who voted against the Canadian reciprocity bill In the House, in a speech in that body today declared that he would support the democratic free
 list bill only because 1t would give some return to the farming interests of the country for injuries they were likely to receive as a result of the Canadian trade agreement.
 MT. Hammond said he believed the Can adian trade agreement was not in line with democratic policies. Since the agree ment apparently Is destined to go into effect he said the free list bill should be passed also.
 T am not inclined to favor additions to the free list" said MT. Hammond. adding that he favored low revenue tariff dis tributed over a wide range of imports.
 II opposed the Canadian trade agree ment because it seems to me that 1t takes away from the American farmer ad- vantages given other classes under our tariff and I favor the present farmers free list bill because it Is an attempt to give to the farmer the same kind of a market in which to buy that he Is obliged to enter when he has to sell. | "If it were not for the Canadian trade agreement. which, it seems to me, abso- lutely deprives a larger class of our cit izens of advantages which other classes obtain under our tariff laws 1 would not deem it so necessary or advisable to en- act the legislation now under considera- tion."

Los Angeles, April 29.-Attorneys for both sides in the dynamiting case com pleted arrangements today for the early arraignment of John and James McNam- ara and Ortie E. McManigal. The ap- pearance of the prisoners in court will not be deferred later than next Wednes- day a tss.s sar | Job Hartman, an attorney of the all pYged dynamiters, said today the, eonter- |ttion of the defense will be based on these |grounds s
 First, that the dynamite made by the factory from which the dynamite that is alleged to have caused the explosion was purchased. was tested in the government bureau of mines and would not set fire Ito gas.
 Second, that dynamite will not set fire 10 inks and oils and an explosion of dyna- mite of the kind said to have been used would not have been followed by sheets of flame but on the contrary would ex- tingush flame.
 Third, gas explosion. on the other |hand, would set fire to inks and oils and would be followed by sheets of flames.
 Dr. J. A. Holmes, director of the United States bureau of mines. will be one of the chief 'nesses called to uphold the contention that gas and not an internal machine caused the Times building ex- ploson. according to Hartman.
 An important development today was the Identification of James B. McNamara as James B. Bryce. b. Trebore McCa- hen. a bellboy who was employed in the Hotel Argonaut, San Francisco, last Sep terlber.

 J. B. Bryce, who is alleged to have rurchased the dynamite that destroyed the Times building, lived in the hotel James McNanara was led into the Jai office today with number of other pris- oners and according to officials of the dis trict attorneys office, the lad quickly picked out McNamara as the man he hat known as Bryce.
