ALLEGED DYNAMITER HAS
ASKED FEDERAL IMMUNITY

Indianapolis, Dec. 10.-That II. S.
Hockin, former member OF the executive
board of the International Association Of
Bridge and Structural Iron Workers. and
now secretary-treasurer OF that organ
ization, has either in person or through
his attorney offered to reveal dynamiting
secrets II promised immunity from Fed
eral prosecution, there is no doubt.
In fact. there is an affidavit or confess
sion now in possession of Detective Nor
gan, of the local force, which, it is said.
connects Hockin with the dynamiting VI
a building on which nonunion men were
at work and which occurred after he
had, il is alleged, threatened trouble #
the nOnUnion men were not replaced with
union ironworkers.
All the details are given in the confess
sion, and the disappearance of the dyna-
miter afterward and failure to find him
when wanted led to the belief that he
was induced to flee the country.

San Francisco, Dec. 10.-To-night in
cold cell at the State penitentiary in San
Quentin-in a cell adjoining the one oc-
cupied by Abraham Ruef-prisoners Nos.
25315 and 1914 wore their new striped con-
vIct suits and stared at each others
closely shaven heads. One of them, con-
vict No 25315, was John Joseph McNa-
mara, convicted dynamiter and former
secretary-treasurer of the International
Bridge and Structural Iron Workers As
sociation. The other, No. 253l4. a pale.
sullen prisoner was J. B. Mcnamara,
printer, dynamiter, and convicted muir
derer.
On this Sabbath day these two men lost
their names and their identity. When
they were formally delivered to Warden
Hoyle by Sheriff Hammel of Los An
| geles County, at 10 o'clock this morning
they became numbers-one Of 1000 men
who have no names. There is nothing to
distinguish them. They wear the stripes
with the other Convicts, and even their
| crimes will add no particular Illumination
to their identity. J. J. Mcnamara is No.
253l5 until he has spent fifteen years in
the pententiary and his brother is No.
253l5 until a life sentence is served. The
only lenienCy they can hope for is a COM
mutation of sentence through good be-
| havior or by parole pardon from the gov

Work in Jute Mill.
Tomorrow morning at I o'clock these
two men will be taken TO the pententiary
jute mill, where they will be taught 20
sew sacks. They will be given a half
hour for dinner, and will be required to
work until 4:30 in the afternoon.
The coming of the McNamaras excited
Abraham Ruef saw them as they were
taken into the penitentiary, and he did
not even inquire to learn their identity.
The 4Imittanco proceeding was formal
and perfunctory. The sheriff gave to
Warden HoyIe certified copies of indict-
ments numbered 69S3 and 6955. These
showed the respective sentences of the
two men. At the turkeys Office they
were searched.
Shortly after II o'clock they were as
signed to cell IS. Adjoining this is Ruef's
compartment. Near by is that of John
Dalton, the Alameda County official who
was recently sentenced for accepting q
hribe. From cell IS the prisoners can
view the prison garden and can see the
green outlines of Mount Tamalpais,
across San Pablo Bay. In another direc-
tion they can see the jute mill and look
toward Giant, Cal, where J. B. Nc
Namara bought the dynamite which re-
suited in his life sentence.
Silent on DynnmitinE.
On the way to San Quentin the two
men were asked this question:
Did you men have any assistance in
your dynamite plotting? Did Gompers
know of your guilt before you pleaded

In answer Jim Mcnamara said. ad-
dressing his reply to Deputy Sheriff
Donahy:
No. And they are not going to get
any others either. We were alone in it,
They will not get others"
J. ]. Mcnamara made no reply, except
to yawn. The reply his brother made
did not seem to displease him. however.
At another time J. B. Mcnamara ex-
pressed his contempt for Ortie McMan-
igaI and for Mrs. B. H. IngersolI.
They are both the same" Mcnamara
said. and 1 have no use for either

The controversy over the departments
recommendations on this subject had the
desired effect of directing popular atten-

by Congress of a joint resolution Gre

Work of inspectors.
THE departments crusade against the
fraudulent use of the mails, begun in
1910, has been aggressively continued.
Last year the inspectors assigned to this
work investigated a great variety of cases,
ranging from petty schemes for the COM
mitment of fraud on q small scale to
gigantic projects involving the sale of
worthless stock in imaginary mining COM
panies and other fictitious concerns
There were altogether SO indictments,
and in these cases 1Sl convictions have

An Ancient Die.

In the museum at Athens is shown
what is probably the only genuine
antique die used for coinage that is
now extant. 1t was found in Egypt in
1904 and consists of bronze, engraved
with the owl that was stamped on
Athenian ,tetradrachma pieces, which
contained about as much silver as
three quarter dollars. The die is of
scientific interest on account of the
evidence 1t gives of the skill of the
ancients three or four hundred years
before Christ in metallurgy. 1t con-
tains about 221a per cent of tin and
nearly 70 per cent of copper. 1t is
extremely hard, but at the same time
Possesses a certain malleability, due to
the great purity of the copper and
tin, which were carefully freed from
all traces Of lead and zinc to preserve
the hardness and from arsenic and
anthony to avoid brittleness.-Har

DECISION On
STATE BONDS
Attorney General Says Bonds OF Sc
ries . Are No Good As
Collateral.

jackson, Miss, Feb. 1S.-The state
OF Mississippi will not, if the advice Of
Attorney General s. S. Hudson is fol-
lowed, accept any part of Series D.
state bonds, as collateral from any oil
the state repositories.
General Hudson has just handed
down an opinion as to the character
OF bonds that are acceptable, under
the law, and since he is member of
the depository commission, it is proba-
bic his advice win be followed in this
matter.
While General Hudson believes the
interest on the state bonds should be
paid July l, 1910, to Jan. 1, 1911, he
cannot foretell what the decision of the
supreme Court will be in this litiga-
ton, and has taken a legal stand
against accepting these bonds. Nor

issued. and under the circumstances
It is my legal view that they should
not be considered as securities until
the question is determined; although
| think the interest from July, 1910, to
Jan. 1911, should be paid, but whether
the Supreme Court will think so, and
whether this fact will affect the issu-
ance of the bonds themselves, are
questions I cannot now determine, be-
cause the Supreme Court is the final
arbiter of these questions"

VIII the bonds Of any county or munici,


viii the bonds OF any county or munich
patty be accepted till it is known
whether they are issued in accordance
with the law; whether such municipal
ity or county has exceeded the legal
limit of its bonded debt.
This indicates that the bonds to be
deposited by the state repositories
will be more closely scrutinized this
year than formerly, and none will be
accepted if there is the slightest ques-
ton of their legality. General Hud-
sons opinion is addressed to Governor
Noel, State Treasurer Edwards and
himself, constituting the bond COM
mission. 1t follows:
TN making an examination of the
securities offered by the different
banks to become state repositories un-
der the act of 1908, I shall have to
make several requirements as to the
deposits OF bonds to be taken, and not
heretofore passed upon by my pre-
decessors.
I'm the first place, whenever the is
suance of the bonds is based upon
minutes and orders and resolutions of
the mayor and board of aldermen and
boards of supervisors, or other boards,
| shall require a certified copy of the
minutes and orders, together with the
fact as to whether an election was
held, or whether the town has exceed
ed its authority in borrowing money,
together with it's Indebtedness and its
revenues, before l can legally say
whether the title to the bonds is good.
Whenever the cashier and presi-
dent sign surety bonds, or whenever
they surrender bonds for deposit to
secure repayment of any of the states
money, in order that it may be legally
done, shall require a minutes of the
board of directors of that bank that
the signature of the cashier and presi-
dent, and the security deposited, is
authorized by the bank.
"As to whether the bond companies,
which have become surety for the
banks, are exceeding the one-tenth
limit as to sureties, and as inhibited
by the statute, and as to whether they
are legally signed by agents of the
authorized to sign the bond,
| am not advised, but am referring
these bonds to Hon. T. M. Henry, In
Commissioner, who has this
and who will make his
separate report as to these facts.
Il notice some repositories have of
fered state bonds, Series D. 1t is I'M
determined as to how far the Supreme
Court may go as to whether these
bonds have been legally and lawfully
