MCNAMARA BROS.
ENTER PRISON

San Quentin, Cal The Mcnamara
brothers Sunday entered San Quentin
penitentiary, where James b. is con-
demned to spend the remainder of his
life for his confessed crime of murder
and where John j., secretary of the
/! International Association Of Bridge
and Structural Iron Workers, is SEN
fenced to fifteen years. imprisonment
for dynamiting,
1t was James B. who blew up the
Los Angeles Times building October
1. 1910, with the loss of twenty-one
lives, and John J. who abetted in
wrecking part of the Llewellyn Iron
works in Los Angeles the following
Christmas day.
The pleas of guilty entered by the
men closed these two cases and open
ed up a nation wide investigation, in
Guiding probes by two federal grand
juries into series of dynamitings
reaching from coast to coast, and per-
petrated generally where labor differ
ences existed to a marked degree.
The men entered the prison, 1T is
fairly authenticated. believing that
they had achieved much for the cause
of union labor and had been cruelty
misunderstood in their efforts and the
results they obtained. John j. Nc
Namara, those who have talked with
him for many hours say, donned his
convict garb a devoted admirer OF
life's little simple kindly deeds and a
firm believer In the psychological ef-
ficiency of dynamite. James B. ha-
bitually believes good deal as his
brother believes. For themselves the
men would say nothing at all.
Whirled from Los Angeles on fast
night train, the men were taken from
it at sunrise today, put on a little
river steamer and landed two hours
and half later at San Pablo bay. The
shackles which bound them together
on the boat trip were slipped off and
toiled up the prison hill beside Sheriff
William A. Hammill, of Los Angeles
county.
As the prison clock struck 10 John
j. Mcnamara, preceded by Warden
John Hoyle, stepped over the thresh-
hold of the jail door, with his brother
directly behind him. In five minutes

BELVIDERE TWP
BUILDING DAMS

Belvidere Times AT special meet.
ing of the board of supervisors of
Belvidere township Saturday, the
question of daming up some of the
draws on section lines was thoroughly
thrashed out. 1t is the intention of
the board to bring the matter before
the voters of the township in the
spring and if endorsed they will put
in at least three large dams in the
two townships. One will be across
the south fork of Brave Bull creek
from the section line south of the Art
Sheppard place. By putting a dam
in there that section line would be
opened up, the hill on the east side
of the creek can be pulled down.
For spill-way bridge can be put
in on the west side of the fiat, thus
making large reservoir at little ex-
pense. The location of this is as near
central as possible for those living in
township "a. A location most suitable
for dam in township % is on a sec
tion line daming up draw near the
Chas. Meyers place. This would drain
three of four sections of land and fur
nish water Tor any number of stock.
While this proposed dam is not on
what is now main travelled road,
yet it can easily be made popular and
would be accessible to by most all
residents OF that township.
A third dam is proposed to be plac-
ed on the township line between sec
tions Z and II, backing the water up
on the John Parmenter land, about
four miles northwest of town. This
is an ideal place for large dam, hav-
ing two natural BANKS, and the loca-
ton is on a road that will event.
ually be the popular road for most
residents north OF town.
1t is the plan of the supervisors to
erect these dams, using road and
bridge funds on hand and those that
will be voted in the spring. 1t will
be unnecessary to bond the townships
have already done, but by the right
management this work can be accom-
plished without going in debt.
Several small places on section lines
will need to be graded up in the spring
and whenyer possible, fills will be
put in and culverts used for spillways
thus retaining all the waiter possible
from the spring storms and late SHOWS.
All the residents of the towship, who
have teams and need the work, will be
given opportunity to work on these
dams.

ing been o. KID by Deuel. county
Justice of the peace.
That this is necessary will be a
surprise to many sheriffs in the state,
who have not paid heed to county
lines and have supposed that war
rant of arrest issued in any county was
good in any other county in the state.
The termination OF the case is no
reflection whatever upon Fire Marshal
Craft, who has been very painstak-
ing and conscientious official during
the more than four years that he has
been fire marshal.

POSTAL DEFICIT
THING OF PAST

Washington, ID. c., For the first
time since 1888 the annual financial
statement of the postoffice depart
ment submitted by Postmaster Cen
eral Hitchcock,,shows surplus instead
of deficit. The revenues for the
fical year ended June 30, 1911, amoun-
ted 90 S237, ,s79, 1913. go leaving a sur
plus of $219, ,11S. ,12. At the beginning
of the present administration in 1909
the postal service was in arrears to
the extent of S17, ,479, ,770.47, which was
decidedly the largest deficit on record.
In the brief space of two years this
deficit has been changed into a SUBJ
stantial surplus.
The wiping out of the deficit has
been accomplished without curtail-
ment of postal facilities, On the con-
tray, important. extensions have been
made in every branch of the service.
Since the opening of the present
administration there have been estab-
lished 3,744 new postoffices, delivery
by carrier has been provided in 1856
additional cities, and 2,516 new rural
routes, aggreating 60,679 miles, have
been authorized. Meanwhile the force
of postal employees has been Increased
by more than 5000. In compensating
such employees the department follows
liberal policy. Last year the total
amount expended for salaries was
approximately $14, 900. 900 greater than
two years ago. The average annual
salary has been increased from 1869 &c
1867 for rural carrier, from $979 to
81, ,Os2 for postoffice clerks, from 81 ,021
to S1.0s4 for city letter carriers
from 81, 16S to 1,1S3 for railway mail
clerks. Thus marked extension OF
the postal service and higher compens-
alton for it's employees have gone hand
inshand with the vanishing deficit.

The tea service and edibles in the way of cakes and sandwiches, are placed on a round table by the Kings writing desk One of the household officials pres ent pours out tea, and after tea the King generally smokes a cigar, and any mem bers of the household who are present can also smoke if they wish to do so.
 When the King takes tea in his writing room the meal Is known among the mem- bers of the household as ''office tea,'' name bestowed on 1t several years ago by the Duke of Connaught, who always used to call the late Kings private writing room the "office."

Frenchmen's Taste in Dress
Inc GentleWonar

From The Gentlewoman.
 The rage for everything English still seems to continue in Paris. though the Frenchman who sets out to dress himself a 1Anglais as a rule makes but & poor show for his trouble.
 His fancy vests are usually fearful as well as wonderful. his tie decidedly more original than beautiful and adorned with something quite barbaric in the shape of a. pin. his canary colored gloves and absurd cane such as no Englishman would dream of sporting in his widest moments.
 The Frenchman has, I fear, innately Lad taste where dress is concerned, just as the French woman beats her English and even American sisters all along the line when the question of taste in dress comes in.
 The Parisienne follows the fashion of being English in such matters as 'Le Sport' and '.Le five o'clock" but she takes good care to set her own fashions in dress and to keep to them. Monsieur. on the other hand, would give anything to be dressed rAnglais and to be mis- taken for an Englishman, but knows not how to manage it.

the country, and in addition the office force has grown in proportion.
 Every case of heroism brought to the commissions attention is carefully :n- vestigated, and I might add that many of them are disallowed. The rules gov sernng the awarding of prizes are very strict, and where we find some so-called hero, to whom our attention has been called, really has done nothing meriting reward the case is passed up.
 Since the commission came into ex- istence in April, 1904, 1t has awarded cash and medals to 546 persons. The total amount of cash given heroes, including those in the list given out Wednesday. is $3s6,S77,90. In addition to this the annual pensions to heroes or their families Is S43,- 5l2. and the roll of pensioners is increas- iEg rapidly.
 With every cash award made there is given medal, either gold, silver, or bronze. These cash and medal awards now number 3s3, while there have been 163 cases where medals alone have been given
 Much of the success of the commission has been the direct result of the untirins efforts of Chairman Wilmot to carefully observe the wishes of Andrew Carnegie as outlined when he created the hero fund.

Salvation Army and Christ mas

The Salvation Army is planning to reach at the approaching Christmas. in one form or another, 300,000 persons. It counts upon reaching 10000 in Chi cago; 5000 in St. Louis; 12,000 in Bos- ton, and at least 30,00O in New York and vicinity. The principal ways of helping this vast number will be with food and clothing. The army's publi- cation Is to issue at Christmas s25,- 900 copies. It will contain greetings and concentrations from Governors Dix of New York. Wilson of New Jer- sey, Hooper of Tennessee. Senator War ren of wyoming and others.
 Commander Eva Booth has just re- turned from the Pacific coast enthu- siastic over her reception by San Fran cisco, where city officials among oth- CTS joined to honor her and her army. She had not been there before since just after the earthquake and fire. An enlarged army work of recent date Is a new orphanage at Spring Valley, N. Y, where are cared for 300 orphans. The American army hears reports of enlarged army work in England ana of relief work in China. among the natives of the disturbed provinces.

The General Missionary committee or the Methodist church, in session in Dem yer, heard reports as follows concerning finances of Methodist home and foreign missions. The data carried with it some disappointment, in view of hard work for missions that has been put in by laymen, but by both home and foreign societies explanations were presented. The foreign board. with headquarters in New York, reported an increase this year of only sS4, ,000 and all of that was in the special account. Receipts for regular work fell of sS4,o0o. and the board reports the large debt of s171.s7s. This debt was s9s,sOO last year, but this year an additional s7S 400 Is added to 1t.
 The gifts of Methodists for regular work of their own foreign board were last year s1,o72,997. as compared with sl.156,7si the previous year. Special gifts increased from ss2o.oo0 to s43SOOo and so made the total for the year slightly In excess of 1910. The total in 1910 was $1, 476.000 and this year s1,511.00O. Philadelphia leads all Methodist conferences with s36.oo0, and Fittsburg comes next with s34000. Balti- more MetnOulSLS gave @oV,Uus CeHCtdi Pennsylvania. s3S.OOo; New York, $2s,oOo and Brooklyn, which district includes much of Connecticut, s2S,ooo, Chicago Methodists gave $27,0Oo and northern New Jersey, called the Newark conference, s2c,8o0.
 Home missions and Methodist church extension are done by Methodists north under one board. Its headquar- ters are in Philadelphia. Its receipts this year were $1.0O6,756, as compared with $1,o19,o0o last year. The board Is in debt s72.oOo, but unlike the for eign board was able this year to avoid falling into heavier debt. The gifts for home mission only last year were $765,- 900 and $72S,o00 this year. Gifts by conferences are relatively about the same as to the foreign board. Phila- dephial leading, and Pittsburg second. Indeed, Pennsylvania and not New York, as in most bodies, Is the Methodist stronghold in supply of missionary money.

Money Involved

Several religious bodies will join, it is said, in a statement soon to be issued to the public concerning conditions and outlook of the churches. Protestant for the most part but to some extent Catholic, in New York city. The statement will aim to prevent alarming reports that will be spread abroad as these religious leaders fear, to the effect that churches. even Christianity itself, Is failing In New York.
 So nearly as can be learned, the argu. ment of the statement will be that there is just ahead of the New York the most stupendous economic and material change that any city of the world ever experi- enced. Within 15 to 20 years Manhattan, even to larger extent than now, will be the downtown business section, and only the business section, of the largest cen ter of population in the world. Churches that have not endowments or that cannot get endowments immediately must move away, or radically alter their buildings and change the character of their work. Jews are supplanting Christians, but in time even Jews will be driven off the island by business inroads.
 Within the next decade or two, when church after church finds itself in diffi- culty, reports will go abroad that New York no longer takes to religion, and that Christianity is failing. To forestall these reports, and to explain precisely what is happening, Is the aim of the forthcoming statement It Is known that officials in religious bodies most largely represented on Manhattan Island are even now calculating what churches are to remain and what are to go. Some are also studying how to change buildings and work of those that are to remain. Mill lions of dollars are involved.

More Prelates for the Curia

It Is now said to be not unlikely that five additional cardinals, all Ital- fans, may be created at the forthcom- Inc consistory. The reason is not an effort on the part of Italians to increase the strength of their nationality in the sacred college, but the pressure for additional cardinals to perform the work of the curia, or administration of the church. It has been the precedent for hundreds of years that members of the curia are Italians.
 Mgr. Falconio's elevation does not mean that America has three new car dinals, even if he happen to be a nat uralized American citizen. He is an Italian, and goes to the work of the curia, undoubtedly never to return to America. With him, and with the ele- vation of Mgr. Lugari and Mgr. Bis- leti, the working force of the curia is increased to 15 only Other Ital- fans now to be elevated belong to the orders, and although cardinals, will remain in work in their orders. There are more than 15 prelates in the list, 1t is true, but only that number are physically able to work.
 Names mentioned in Rome as possible additional cardinals are Mgr. Serafino. Mgr. Passerini, and Mgr. Della Chiesa advancement of the Archbishop of Spo- leto, the Archbishop of Florence and the abbot primate of the Benedictincs. The order named Is now without rep resentation in the sacred college, an unusual circumstance. It is not at all unusual that no names at all are an- nounced in advance of the consistory, so 1t Is held not to be unlikely that at this time not all were made public.
