the last. John J. Mcnamara and his
younger brother. James b.. prepared
to-day for the journey TO San Quentin
prison tonight. Every demand made
on them TO tell what they knew about
the alleged dynamite conspiracy fell on
leaf ears, and as a result the Federal
Grand Jury. investigating the aIlega.
tions made by Ortie MECHANICAL, will
not meet again until Tuesday,
There was a sensational scene in the
county Jail late yesterday when Special
Assistant United States Attorney-0en-
eral Oscar LAWYER. enraged over the
admission from Indianapolis that there
had been friction between the Federal
authorities at Los Angeles and tbs
Indiana city. demanded that the McNa-
maras tell their whole story.
J. J. Mcnamara, still socr~etary-trea-
surer OF the Iron Workers, became
angsred.
What are you trying 10 io3,' he de-
manded. you have been an agent Of
the Government a long time, but
Wntther sou uIc an agent OF tue steel
Trust or other wise. I can state frankly
that. $ o fas as l am concerned. vii,
not confess. Why should I? Freedom
Is nothing to me-"
As a result OF the development OF the
last twenty-four hours. interest again
centres on the bribery developments. II

will ever be known. Attorney Davis
continued his conference with District
Attorney Fredericts to-day. II Is re-
ported when the Franklin case Is called

ERIE BASIN AF|RE;
SOME ONE TOUCHED
MATCH TO WATER
One Lighter Destroyed and
Piers and Ships Are DAM
aged by Blaze.

Somebody dropped a match into the
Erie Basin at 7.So o'clock to-day and In
i've minutes the entire body of water
was on frc. One ship was almost de-
stroyed and a South American liner
was badly damaged. Two IRE boats and
three land-lubber engines. under the
command Of Battalion Chief Reilly,
fought the burning waves for more
than an hour before tho contest was
over.
All Of this sounds as II the ghost OF
tho late lamented Baron Munchausen
had risen early to-day and was on the
Job IN the immediate vicinity of tho
Erie Basin. but It is a cold statement
OF fact about rs warm q fire as over
broke from the crest Of a wave.
There are two piers on Eric basin
extending from Richard street AID
Dwight street. brooklyn. into the water.
The Robins Dry Dock Is located near
n OF tho piers. II Is the custom Of the
shipping folk. before a ship - taken
into the dry docks. TO take all oil ami
waste and turn II into tho hold OF the
ship whence 1t Is blown into the water.
Hence tho surface OF the Basin to-day
was coated with oil.
"he South American liner. Javary.
running from Brooklyn TO Rio. was tied
up at tho Richard street pier. waiting
to 20 into the dry dock for her rsgiiar
Turkish bath and massage. Near he.

or FIRE RACED OVER
THE WATER TO SHIPS.

Down in the fo'c'stle OF the South
American liner Capt. Alexander and
twelve men were asleep. some person
who desired to take no hances on
throwing matches about the piers cau-
tiously went to the waters edge and
tossed a match into the water. Had
some genii suddenly waved a wand
over the water and commanded 1t to
change TO IRE. the effect could not have
boen more startling.
A line Of flame skyrocketed from the
surprised wavelet wherein the match
lit. Then the fire spread IL all dlrsc-
tons until q blush wall Of hre circled
about n dense smoke rose from che
centre Of the watery bonfire. The nre
worked rapidly toward the docks. The
lighter was soon In flames. The liner
began to feel tho creeping fre working

And then there came the footing fire.

bent upon putting out . IRE on the

sleeping saiiormen. They came to the
deck and fought the fire back from the
liner. 1t had managed to creep along
AZ far as the navigator's bridge before
It was suppressed by the combined work
Of the sailormen and the freanen.

lately been completed by Mr.. G. Ii.

and it il now one OF the finest stretches

only one other stretch of road in
Grant parish equal to it, and that is
the two miles leading from Colfax to
the Darro. which Mr. Mcknight also
superintendent. the town of Colfax
and the parish of Grant uniting III

was furnished free by MIR. EdenborD.
These two pieces vi road were once
the worst in the parish, aud now they
are the best, equal to any in the State.
They connect with the forty odd miles
of model road soon tn be completed

Where Are the Corn Club BOYS,

Our understanding is that several
boys corn clubs were organized in
Grant parish, and we fully expected
to see some OF the boys make "a show
ing ut the parish lair, but If they had
any exhibit we hive not heard any
thing about it. At the State fair
and Mt several OF the parish fairs ~e
see the boys captured quite a num-
Der of valuable prizes. 1t is dis
appointment to us that the boys OF
Grant parish have made no showing.
We suggest that Supt. Warner get a
hustle ON himself. and see if he can
not have the boys of this parish
make better showing next year.
