McNAMARAS READY
FOR THE PROBING
Which Government Is To Make Into Al
legged Traficking in Dynamite and
Misuse Of the Mails.

Los Angeles, Cal, Dec. THE McNa-
mara brothers rose early to-day prepared
to face rigid interrogation Of the spe-
cial prosecutor in the governments prob
ing into the alleged traiiicking in dyna-
mite and the misuse of the mails to pro-
mote the destruction of property where
labor warfare was involved The grand
jury, which is scheduled TO meet to-day,
is expected to hear from the McNamaras
some details Of the alleged conspiracy.
What the McNamaras will reveal re-
mained a mystery this morning.
II was believed this morning that
the MeNamaras might be removed to
the penitentiary tonight. Sheriff Ham
mot has refused to say anything on the
subject, declaring that the brothers are
kept here at the pleasure Of the fed
eral grand jury, but it is thought that
after their first appearance before an
inquisigorial body, which was expected
to-day, the federal authorities would be
satisfied and the prisoners removed. The
brothers attorneys intimated that the
probe would gain nothing
from them at this stage, beyond the
facts already known.

Thoman Casey, Same Age ~
GIVEN GOOD ADN.s1, TOO
Judge Miles in Caledonia County Court
Admonished Them to Reform-An-
other Youth Sentenced for Grand
Larceny-Two Divorces.

st. Johnsbury, Dec. Several youth
full offenders We're arraigned in Gale
dcnia county court yesterday. The first
Of them, Arthur L. Frechette, alias Ar
thur l.. Barrett, pleaded guilty to ut
tering a forged instrument. Young FREE
chette is only sixteen years Of age and
well known here, haying worked for
the local telegraph company. He was
given fair chance and did not respond
readily TO right living. His sentence
from this court was TO the Vermont in
dustral school during the remainder of
his minority, which period of impris-
onment win expire in April, 1916
A Newark lad, Arthur Langmaid, who
was before this court last year, charged
with malicious injury to animals and for
which ofIense he was placed on proba
tion, was again brought in, this time
charged with grand larceny. The young
man is eighteen years of age. He re-
ceived a sentence Of not less than two
nor more than three years at hard la
Dor in the house Of correction.
Another young lad, sixteen years old,
in the person of Thomas Casey, was
arraigned on the charge of uttering a
forged instrument. to which charge he
pleaded guilty and was sentenced to the
Vermont industrial school during the
remainder OF his minority, which term
will expire in March, 1916. In sentenc-
ing these young offenders, Judge Miles
said it was a sad duty for him to per-
form and exhorted each of them to set
his face toward the right and walk the
paths Of reetitude henceforth.
John Doe alias Charles Sweeney, was
arraigned and pleaded guilty TO the
charge Of petit larceny. There were
several mitigating circumstances and he
was let Off with light sentence of
only two months in the county Jail.
Two divorces were granted: Adelne
Moore was divorced from George NJ.
Moore and Oliver II. Jenness from Eliza
]. Jenness. The former was granted on
the ground Of intolerahle severity and
the latter on the ground of wilful deser
ticn. The jennesses are quite well
known in this section, owing TO the
alienation suit which Mr.. Jenness
brought against Walter Simpson some
three years ago.

OLD CLAIMS REVIVED
BY Maine Granite Workers Who Toiled
Over Time in Former Years.

Hallowell, Me-, Dec. Interest in the
claim of Maine granite workers who
toiled over time between 1869 and 1875
has been revived recently by a move
ment to again present the matter to
Congress.
A number of the claimants live here
and others in Knox, Waldo and Hancock
counties, considerable number residing
in Vinalhayen. The matter has been in
litigation for nearly a half century and
some three-fourths of the original claim
ants have passed away.
The claims largely concern government
contracts in Maine, in Richmond, Va,
and at Cape Ann Mass.
The granite cutters and allied workers
were employed mostly on the islands OF
Penobscot bay in preparing the granite
for big public buildings. Hundreds were
employed at Vinalhaven on the granite
for the state, war and navy buildings at
Washington and the Cincinnati post
Office Many more were occupied at
Hurricane Isle on granite for the st.
Louis postofiice.
The men were employed under the
eight hour law passed in 1868, but en-
forced only during period of Is months
between then and 1876 so that for most
of the time they worked 10 hours a day.
The claims were submitted to the 4sth,
49th and 50th Congresses, and amount
to approximately S500,000.

Burns, 46 years old, and a resident at )
North street here, was fatally crushed by
a stone that he and two other derrick
men were handling at the NorGross
quarry in Hayden Rowe yesterday after
noon.
The stone had not been put just where

as he rose in response to the warning of
his fellow workmen he was caught be-
tween the sliding stone and another.
His chest and shoulder were crushed
In. He was made as comfortable as
possible and medical aid summoned from
Hopkinton and Milford. DR.. Playse ar
rived and did all that could be done to
ease his pain, it being seen that he was
bleeding internally and evidently fatally
hurt. Rev. DR.. +. x. Dolan of ST. Johns

church.
DR.. Playse accompanied the injured
man to the Milford hospital in j. b.
Edwards ambulance, and there DR.. Cur
ley gave him attention. Burns died
about 3:15, or 10 minutes after reaching
the hospital

Norcross Brothers Co. He was industri-
ous and leaves a wife and several chill
dren, the Oldest son being employed in

ever, that while augmenting some of the
important elements OF banking during
the year business did not reach the av-
erage of increase for the past ten years.
The comptroller makes the startling
declaration that "The dishonest practice
OF officers OF national banks of receiving
personal compensation for loans made
by the bank is a growing evil and has
already reached such proportions as to
call for criminal legislation on the sub
ject."
"In this matter he adds, "either the
bank is defrauded of lawful interest
which il otherwise would have or usuri.
ous interest is eXaeted of borrower
by corrupt officer, secret reward for
obtaining a loan on insufficient secur.
ity.'
Mr. Murray urges that such action by
a bank officer be made punishable by
imprisonment.
The aggregate amount OF assets Of the
national banks increased during the year
