GRAVE CHARGE
MEN CHARGED WITH OvNAMir-
ING Los ANGELES rIMEs
DUlL0iNc CAUGHT.
BRIBERY IS ATTEMPTED
UNION OFFICER TRlGs TO BUY
FREEDOM WITH LARGE SUM
OF MONEY.

Chicago.-The blackest page in the
history of organized labor WAS turned
when a high official of the Interna-
tional Association of Bridge and
Structural Iron Workers. was arrested
on the charge Of having engineered
the dynamiting of the Los Angeles
Times building last fall.
At almost the same moment the Of
ficisl. John J. Mcnamara. secretary
treasurer Of the union. was arrested
In his Indianapolis office. q sinister
little party slipped out Of Chicago on
. special train bound for Los Angeles,
bearing with them the secrets of the
long and disastrous war against the
open shop. For two Of the men. the
unions chiefs of staff In the war, the
shadow Of the gallows turks at the
other end Of their transcontinental
Journey.
One Of the prisoners In the party
that left Chicago was the mysterious
-. b. Bryce" to whom the dynamit
ing Of the Times building had been
traced and who has been held re-
sponsible by 4 grand jury for the muir
der OF the twentyone persons who
perished in the explosion.
He proved to be none other than
James Mcnamara, brother of the la
Dor official. who for years has been
head Of the secret. red.handed wreck
in in hn NJ
Mcnamara.
The other prisoner was a Chicago
man. Ortise E. McManigal, whose home
Is At 414 South Sangamon street, and
who is a member of Local 5, of the
iron workers Chicago branch.
Both men were arrested In Detroit
April 18th. as they were making
ready to destroy the new S2,OOO,OOO
railroad terminal there.
Following the arrest of Secretary
Mcnamara In Indianapolis. his private
vault was searched and 100 quarts of
nitroglycerine were removed.
That John J. McNamara, who is de.
clared to be the brains of the open
shop war, might be taken into custody
at the proper moment, their arrest
was suppressed. They were tricked
into allowing themselves to be taken
to Chicago from Detroit without legal
resistance and since then have been
held there.
On the way from Detroit. the detec-
tives assert, Mcnamara attempted to
win freedom through bribery. He is
said to have offered first $4,000 and
then 100000 to be allowed to slip off
the train with his companion.
Los Angeles.-Labor union circles all
over the country are deeply stirred by
the arrest and hasty extradition from
Ohio Of the three Los Angeles sus-
poets. and frequent comparisons of
this case and that Of Meyer, Hay
wood and Pettibone in Colorado have
been made by leaders.
Los Angeles authorities, fearing
further violence either by friends of
the suspects or by indignant citizens
in whose memory the horrors of the
Times explosion remains firmly fixed
are taking great precautions to keep
secret the routes taken by the prison
ers and their guards and the time Of
their arrival on the coast.
Further evidence. said to be con.
vincing beyond possible doubt, has
been unearthed by Detective William

PRESENCE OF MIND.

The Earl Kept His Head, and the
Highwayman Lost His.
In sporting Days and Sporting
Ways" Ralph Nevill relates two incl
dents of the early nineteenth century
in which English highwaymen figure:
"In August, 1919. Lady Stanley,
travelling from York accompanied by
her servant, was stopped by high
wayman, when the maid in her alarm
took up bottle of ginger beer, and
the cork flying out made such report
that the highwayman instantly gallop-
ed off in great alarm"
Lord Berkeley's encounter with one
of the famous gentlemen of the road
had more serious consequences:
Being driven over Hounslow Heath
he was awakened from sleep by his
coach being brought to standstill
and threatening face looking in at
the window
" 4 have you at last, my lord, said
a gruff voice, though you said you
would never yield to a robber Deliver"
"'Certainly,' was the earl's reply,
but tell me first who is that looking
over your shoulder

to look and at the same moment Lord
Berkeley shot him through the head

COWED THE THIEVES.
Odd but Effective Way of Attaching =
Mans Property.

Mans Property.
Attaching a mans property for debt
is supposed to be u legal process, but
an incident which occurred years ago in
the city of Natchez. as related by Davy
Crockett in his Life and Adventures"
shows that there are other attach
ments" which sometimes accomplish a
benefcent purpose.
An odd affair occurred when | was
last at Natchez, declared Mr. Crockett.
A steamboat stopped at the landing,
and one of the crew went ashore to
purchase provisions. He went into a
saloon ON the way. and the adroit in
mates contrived to rob him of all his
money. The captain of the boat, de-
termined fellow, went ashore in the
hope of persuading them to refund.
but they declined.
Without further ceremony the cap
tain, assisted by his crew and passen-
gers, some 300 or 400 in number, made
fast an immense cable to the frame
building where the theft had been
committed. Then he allowed fifteen
minutes for the money to be forth
coming, vowing that if it were not
produced within that time he would
put steam to his boat and drag the
house into the river.
The thieves knew that he would
keep his word, and the money was
promptly produced

The Cruel Wolf Spider.

One of the most unnatural things In
nature, if the expression is allowable,
is the manner in which the young OF
the common wolf spider treat their
mother. After the little creature has
laid her eggs she envelops them in
silken covering, so as to make ball
about the size of pea, and this she
carries about with her wherever she
goes and will defend it with her life
When the young are Matched they
climb on her back. giving her a mon
strous appearance, and ride about IN
til nearly half grown, and as soon as
they discover their strength they fall
to and devour their mother.

of bronze. There is tradition among
the Venetian people that its eyes are
diamonds. They are really white, ag-
ates, faceted Its name is most elabo-
rately wrought. and its retracted, gap
ing mouth and its fierce mustaches
give it an oriental aspect. The crea-
ture as it now stands belongs to many
different epochs. varying from some
date previous to our era down to this
century. 1t is conjectured that 1t may
have originally formed a part of the
decoration of some Assyrian palace.

GIBRALTAR.
The "key of the Mediterranean" Has
Had a Stormy History.

The "Key of the Mediterranean" Has
Had Stormy History.
England has been in possession Of
the rocky promontory of Gibraltar
since 1904. From that time to this it
has been a crown colony under the ad-
ministration of a governor. By reason
of its important strategical position 1t
is called the key of the Mediterra-
nean."
Gibraltar has had a stormy history.
In I'll the rock was taken by the Arab
chief Tarik, who called 1t Jebel-al-
Tarik Chill of Tarik) and built for
tress on the promontory. Part of these
ruins are still extant In 1909 it was
taken by the Castilians, only to be re-
captured by the Moors in 1888 1t was
held by them until 1862. Following the
taking and sacking of Gibraltar in
1910 by Barbarosso, extensive military
works were built there by order of
Charles V.
In 1904 the promontory was cap
tured by combined force under Sir
George Rookie and the Prince of Hesse-
Darmstadt, fighting for the Archduke
Charles of Austria. The moment it fell
into their hands the British admiral
threw off the alliance with the Aus
TRANS and took complete possession of
the works.
British possession since that time
has been unbroken. although 1t was
under a Spanish siege for nearly three
years and eight months, beginning in
1910. Twice the garrison was on the
point of falling because of the starva-
ton of its defenders.

a kind of trill so delicate and clear as
to sound like an etherealized birds
song.
One species of Japanese mouse may
be said to waltz through the greater
part of the waking hours Of its life,
never firing, though its feet wear out
in the process. This peculiar little
rodent is black and white and has
pink eyes. Its chief popularity is that
at a time when baby mice of other
species are just beginning to move
about this terpsichorean mouse is al
ready able to waltz.
Put together, these Japanese dane
ing mice will waltz in couples, and at
times more than two will join in a
mad whirl. So rapid is the movement
Of the dancers that it is difficult to
distinguish their heads from their
tails.
The Japanese says that waltzing
seems to be as essential to the happi-
ness of this mouse as midair somer-
saults are to the tumbling pigeon. An
upright peg forms a convenient pivot
round which the mouse can whirl, but
1t is said that without any such guide
they would not in several minutes
cover an area larger than a dinner
plate, and they easily spin under a
tumbler-New York Herald.

Riuht on the Job.

At the time Dewey captured the
Philippine Islands there was only one
lighthouse in operation in the Philip
pine waters-that on Cape Melville,
Balabac island, south of the island of
Palawan and marking the entrance be-
tween the China sea and the Sulu sea.
AS Is the custom in time of war. the
Spanish authorities had ordered all
lighthouses to have their lights extin-
guished when 1t was discovered that
an attack on Manila was threatened
by the American navy. 1t appears that
this order was carried out at all other
places except at the lighthouse men
toned above, where the order was
never received. The keeper of this
light kept his light burning up to June
&c. 1899, without assistance, and was
paid for his services from May 1, 1899.

ment.-Philippines Monthly.

AN UNFOUGHT DUEL.

The Way the Father of His Country
Avenged Blow.
1t is narrated that on one occasion
in his early manhood Washington
came very near the settlement of
dispute, so common in those days, by
fighting a duel. But as he was the
one who should have issued the chal-
lenge he had the still greater courage
to apologize and admit that he was in
the wrong
1t was in the town of Alexandria,
where the young Virginia colonel was
quartered with his troops. that an cleo
ton dispute occurred and in the heat
of the party excitement Washington
told a Mr.. Payne that he lied. That
gentleman at once replied with blow
that knocked the young colonel down.
Word having reached the barracks
that their beloved commander had
been killed, his soldiers rushed to the
city to avenge him. He met them,
however. quieted them, and they re-
turned to their quarters.
Mr.. Payne, on receiving a note from
Washington the next morning asking
him to call at his lodgings, supposed it
was, of course, to give the colonel
opportunity to demand satisfaction"
for the blow he had received the day
before. Imagine his surprise when.
instead of finding pistols or swords
ready for a duel, Washington greeted
him with outstretched hand, saying:
81 believe was wrong yesterday. You
have already had some satisfaction
and if you deem that sufficient here
is my hand. Let us be friends."-H

The practice of catching the speak
er's eye" dates back to the session OF
1910, when a heated dispute arose be-
tween members of the house, several
of whom claimed precedence of speech
1t was then decided that whoever first
caught the speakers eye should have
the right to address the house. This
rule worked smoothly until 1853, when
Sir John Trevor was elected to the
chair. The new speaker was afflicted
with an abominable squint; consequent
ly two members would often catch his
eye simultaneously and decline to give
way to one another. To obviate this
further rule was framed to the effect
that the speaker should call by name
upon the member privileged to address
the house. So every holder of the Of
fee has to possess a good memory Tor
names as we'll as keen eyesight.-Lon-
don Chronicle.
