fusals OF favors, the family quarrel
has reached a not unexpected climax
In the withdrawal of the infanta from
the court
Alfonso, 1t seems, learned his aunt
was about TO publish a book In Paris
under the name of the Countess Avila
and that In 1t she advocated divorce,
which is not permitted in Spain.
The infanta charged recently that
the king has not properly recognized
the services OF her son in the Moroc-
can war.
So, II is believed, he retaliated by
telegraphing her a command to stop
publication of the book.
She promptly refused and by wire
took formal leave of the court, declar-
ing she would retire to private life
after disposing of all her property in
Spain.

BROTHERS Will
REFUSE TO AID
McNamaraS Will Not Testify
Before Grand Jury.
ORTIE M'MANIGAL CALLED

Alleged Informer in Dynamite Cases
First Witness to Appear Before the
Federal inquisitors at Los Angeles.
Is Relied Upon for information Ex.
pected to Lead to a Number of In.
dictments.
Los Angeles, Dec. 8.--The federal
grand jury of the United States cir.
cult court for California convened
here to take up evidence to show that
a giant conspiracy existed throughout
the United States through which dyna.
mite damage running into millions .f
dollars has been done to buildings un.
der construction and already complet-
ed; dynamite has been transported
unlawfully from one state to another,
and that improper use has been made
of the mails.
Ortie T.. McManigal, the dyna-
miter, who made the first confession
in the Mcnamara conspiracy, was the
first person taken before the grand
jury.
John J. Mcnamara, confessed dyna-
miter, told Jailer Gallagher that un.
der no circumstances would he give
the federal grand jury any information
of any kind.
Following that announcement Under
Sheriff Balm sought Oscar Lawler, spe-
cial government investigator, to tell
him of the prisoners statement.
Brother Also Will Refuse.
1t was understood that James B.
Mcnamara also would refuse to give
testimony to the federal grand jury.
The brothers have been advised by
counsel as to their rights before the
grand jury and the attorneys init.
mated that the investigation by the
governmnt would gain nothing from
| them at this stage by facts already
known.
Special Prosecutor Lawler and his
assistants, it is believed, are looking
toward Ortie McManigal as the main
source of information upon which pos
sible indictments may be found.
The Importance of the local angle OF
| the federal investigation is not fully
known, Mr.. Lawler having declared
| that he was "groping in the dark for
| facts"
From this it is argued that the In
dianapolis investigation is the center
| of the governments scheme of inquiry
to which the Los Angeles query is as
| yet subordinate.

Second One Topic Message
Sent to Congress.
NEGOTIATIONS UNDER WAY
Refers to Question of Jewish Pass
ports In Russia and Says Negotia-
tions Are Under Way to Settle Diff
cuIty-Urges Ratification of the
Pending Arbitration Treaties.

Washington, Dec. S:-The second of
President Taft's one topic messages
was presented to congress. It dealt
exclusively with foreign relations,
which were said by the chief execu-
tive to be generally satisfactory.
In this message the president gives
the first official explanation of the
post haste movement of 10000 federal
troops to Mexico nine months ago:
urged the United States senate to rati-
fy the general arbitration treaties
with Great Britain and France and the
conventions with Nicaragua and Hon
duras, and suggested legislation that
he declared would strengthen this ma
tion's world trade and position among
the powers.
On two subjects included under
Foreign Relations" the president
spoke only in brief fashion. He in
formed congress of the conferences
begun by American Ambassador Guild
at st. Petersburg in regard to the ques-
tion of passports In Russia for Ameri-
can Jews and explained that after the
Christmas holidays he expected to
send special message on this sub
ject.
Refers to Passport Question.
The presidents reference to the
passport question was after the other
parts of the message had been writ
ten.
"By direction of the state depart
ment," Ii read, "our ambassador to
Russia has recently been having a Sc
ries of conferences with the minister
of foreign affairs of Russia, with a
view to securing clearer understand
ing and construction of the treaty OF
1882 between Russia and the United
States, and the modification of any
existing Russian regulations which
may be found to interfere in any way
with the full recognition of the rights
Of American citizens under the treaty"
The presidents explanation of the
sudden dispatch of one quarter of the
army to the Mexican border agreed
with the unofficial reasons for that
troop movement given last spring, but
he showed in a confidential letter to
General Leonard Wood, chief of staff
of the army, that there was no doubt
in his mind as to what he would do IL
he had found American lives and
property In danger.
