tions and its press, consisting of ten

used in the defense of the McNama-
ras, and any other help within our
power"
A communication was also adj
dressed to the locals of the Social
ist party condemning the arrest OF
the men as Suggesting a deliberate
plot" claiming the prosecution OF

crush organized labor by crime and
violence"

locals to raise money for the de-
Tense of the accused and for the

been holding a two weeks term OF
Circuit Court at Hartford, returned
home Friday night. AS usual the
court disposed of large amount OF
business, and the docket was clear
ed of a great many old cases.
Judge Birkhead will have had one
week intervening before he opens
court at Calhoun for IL days on
next Monday, May 8.
Possibly one of the most Import
ant matters that will be dealt with
by Judge Birkhead is the lynching
of william Potter, negro, by an
angry mob of citizens at Livermore
short time ago. The court viii
instruct the grand jury in this mat
ter, and will urge upon them to re-
turn indictments against those who
participated in the mob, II they can
secure enough evidence to do so.

WILL Be ARRAIGNED ..... ....
| At Los ANGELES TO-DAY
Preparing for Trial of Alleged
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
of Defense.

Los Angeles, Cal, April 3O.-At-
torneys for both sides in the dyna-
hitting case completed arrangements
to-day for an early arraignment of
John and James Mcnamara and Or
tie Z. Mechanical. The appearance
of the prisoners in court will not be
deferred later than next Wednes-
day.
Job Hartman, attorney for the
alleged dynamiters, said to-day that
the contentious Of the defense will
be based on these grounds:
First, that the dynamite made by
the factory from which the dyna-
mite that is alleged TO have caused
the explosion was purchased, was
tested in the Government Bureau of
Mines and would not set fire to gas.
Second that dynamite will not set
fire to inks and oils, and an explos-
ION of dynamite of the kind said to
have been used would not have been
followed by sheets of flame, but. on
the contrary, would eXtinguish
| Aame.
Third, a gas explosion, on the
other hand, would set fire to inks
and oils. and would be followed by
sheets Of fame.
Dr. ]. A. Holmes. director of the
United States Bureau of Mines, will
he one of the chief witnesses called
70 uphold the contention that gas
ord not an internal machine caused
the Times Building explosion, ac-
cnrding TO Hartman.

.OHlO COUNTY FAIR
AGAIN TO THE FRONT
Prettiest Grounds in the State
Exhibit This Year Prac-
tically Assured.

Strong pressure is being brought
to bear upon the officials and stock
holders of the Ohio County Fair Co.
to have another exhibit this fall. NO
fair was held last year because the
managers claimed that the prospect
was poor and the rather losing ex-
perience of recent years did not JUS
tify them in making the attempt.
They assert that the last exhibit nor
the one before it we're hardly profit
able, taking into consideration the
worry, risk and expense incident to
holding a good fair.
The prospects this year, however,
seem better, and If the merchants
and business men of Hartford will
take an interest in the affair and
give the encouragement which the
fair officials think they should have
another exhibit this fall seems as
sured. It would certainly be of big
benefit to the town and county and
every business man would get his
share of the money set adoat. A
fair ought to be mutually profitable
There is no one to dispute that
the Ohio County Fair grounds here
at Hartford are the prettiest in the
State. Situated on the banks OF
Rough River opposite Hartford and
barely outside the city limits, with
abundant shade that covers the
amphitheater yet gives fine and
full view of the race track, which Is
said to be the fastest in the country
outside the big East9rn courses oul
fair grounds apparently hold every
advantage that could possibly be de
sired. The race track is on a beau
tiful table land and every step q
horse takes can be seen from boil
the amphitheater and adjacen
ground, while the spectators remain
in the shade. The grounds are idea
in almost every conceivable way
and the conveniences are unsurpass
ed, while new railroad enhance
the prospect.
1t seems a pity that all these re
sources for county fair should q
unemployed, and we think we voic'
the sentiments of the public in sin
cerely hoping that the Ohio Count
Fair will again come to the from
this year with all it's old-time vigo
and success.

Rushing from San Diego to New
York City on a special car, Mr.. and
Mrs. NJ. Vanbeason, of the latter
place, calmly gave as their reason,

The dog is a valuable animal, and
recently took cold in its eyes while
being exhibited at a dog show.
Fearing that it would go blind

from coast to coast to receive the
advantages of expert service in New

ENLARGED HOUSE
IS NOW REALITY
Increased from 301 to ABB
3 Members.
THE SIZE MADE IDENTICAL
With That Provided for In
Crumpacker Bill of
Former Session.
CALEB POWERS WAS IGNORED

Washington, April ga bill
providing for the enlargement OF
the National House of Representa-
tives from 391 to 439 members
and the apportionment of those
members to the different States on
the basis Of the population shown
by the recent Federal census, passed
the House last night after vain ef-
forts of members of both political
parties to amend 1t in important
particulars.
The proposed size OF the House Is
identical with that provided for IN
the Crumpacker bill, passed by the
House at the last session of Con-
gress. but not acted upon by the
Senate. The Houston bill, passed
TO-DAY. leaves to the Legislatures OF
the different States the power to re-
arrange the congressional districts
their respective States on the new
population basis of one member LOT
each 211,S77 of inhabitants.
The two important amendments
proposed to-day and defeated after
long debate were to put the redis-
tricting power in the hands OF the
Governors of States wnen the Leg
islatures had failed to act, and to
limit the House in the future to a
membership of 430 or 433, leaving
future reapportionments to the Sec
rotary Of the Department OF Com
merce and Labor.
Both of these amendments were
vigorously championed by the Re-
nublicans and with some Democratic
support. Mr.. Sherley, of Kentucky
first offered the "Crumpacker
amendment" as it was known, to
restrict the size of the House to 43O
in the future, and later Mr.. Crum-
hacker submitted 1t again as a part
of a formal motion to recommit the
bill to the Committee on Census to
have the amendment put into it. On
a record vote on this motion the
Democrats voted 1t down, 17S to 49,

Representative Caleb Powers, oil

first wanted to provide that congress
sional districts should not differ by
more than 10000 of population. H'
made a speech in support OF th'
amendment, and it was voted dowI
nv 1O7 to &c. He then offered
amendments designed to prevent
difference of more than $4,000 o.
$4,000 population, both OF whlci
were voted down. Following thei
policy of ignoring the Eleventh Ken
lucky district member. his Demo
cratic colleagues declined to pa
any attention to the Powers speech

started to reply to Powers, but wa
requested not to do SO, and resumed
