Director of Bureau
Of Mines Denies He
Discussed Dynamiting

Denying that he had ever discussed
the contentious of union men, that the
wrecking of the Los Angees Times Of
flee by dynamite could not have resulted
in the combustion of inks and oils,
which followed, DR.. ]. A. Holmes, di-
rector of the United States Bureau of
Mines, this morning stated that he IA
not propose to align himself with either
one side or the other in the big legal
controversy between labor and capital,
which has grown out of the arrest of
John and James B. Mcnamara.
When seen at his home, 1749 P street
northwest, this morning. Dr. Holmes
said that because of his official position
he was not at liberty to make an author

the attorneys for the accused men, Tel
egraphic adviCes from Los Angeles last
night were to the effect that Mr.. Harri-
man had stated DR.. Holmes would be
subpoenaed by the representatives of or

pOrtant witnesses.
But have you received any intima-
ton that you are to he called to Los An

said that the department with which he

his making a statement.

Concerning the statement credited to
MI. df1ITlndn. thdt the nrSt point the
defense would prove would be that the
Bureau Of Mines had tested the kind of
dynamite alleged to have been used and
had found that it would not ignite gas,
DR.. Holmes said that he did not even
know what factory &had made it.
1t is known that every effort will
be made to prevent the subpoenaing
OF anyone connected with the Bureau
of Mines. In the past the bureau
has been successful in frustrating all
such attempts.
1t is pointed out that the men con-
neced with the bureau are granted
admission to the mines through the
mine operators and not for the pur-
pose of collecting evidence to be used
in cases that may follow Should rem
resentatives of the Bureau of Mines
appear as witnesses in all cases where
their testimony is desired, it is real
lied they would have time for moth

As TO the contention of the ATTORNEYS
for Mcnamara that dynamite instead OF
resulting in sheets of flames, would
have eXtinguished them If 1t had been
used in the Los Angeles building, DR..
Holmes would make no statement. He

Attorney Hartman says that the third
point the defense intends to prove
largely through the testimony of Dr.
Holmes, is that a gas explosion, unlike
dynamite explosion, would set fire TO
the paints and oils, and be followed by
sheets of flames, such as consumed the

A Female Of the Species" to Mr.
Kipling


When noted British writer takes
his pen in hand with pride,
4hd expounds his views on suffrage,
il were we'll to turn aside,
And TO listen for a moment to his
melancholy wall
That the female Ofthe species is more
deadly than the male.
For the female bear and cobra and
the Jesuit-hating squaw,
viii attack with fiercest ardor, unre-
hitting tooth and claw,
Any object of their anger; who may
reasonably quail.
Though his courage does not fail him
at the mildness of the male.
TITS new reproach, my sisters, that
is laid against our door,
For that reason it's refreshing, and
we need not to deplore
That the customary charges of too
foolish, vain or frail,
Disappear beneath the latest-were
more deadly than the male!"
Let us grant that every minute men
are growing more refined,
Leaving mothers, wives and sisters
far and hopelessly behind.
Let us grant that there lies lurking
in each female human frame,
Most uncivilized emotions that 'twere
better not to name.
Let us grant this; but in passing, we
may venture to regret
That the bard does not inform us
what ferocious suffragette
Could with pamphlet, speech or ban
ner so assuredly make quail,
The refined and courteous spirit OF
this gentlemanly male.
AS we have no sense OF humor, we
of course can hardly smile,
When accused of launching madly
with a deadly female guile
"Unprovoked and awful charges;
still it is trife raw,
From a man who's just compared US
TO a vivisecting squawl
1t is this that we're accused of; tina
we're fighting for the race,
And may boast, through bygone ages
more efficiency to face,
Danger, death, and obscure issues
For the safety of the child
We can fight with fiercest courage
we can fight with anger wild!

RED CROSS SEALS
Appeal to Vermonters to Help Swell

Editor of The Banner:
For the past three years you have
kindly aided US in spreading the news
of the great work and benefit being &C
complished by the sale of the Ameri-
can Red Cross Christmas Seals for
one cent each, and | beg that you will
make special effort this year, as the
appeals are many for relief from tu-
berculosis, to keep the subject con-
stantly before our people until after
the holidays.
The Seals go on sale in one hun
dred places throughout the State OF
Vermont, on December list, and | en-
close printed matter which hope you
can use every few days by making
extracts therefrom for publication. |
am also sending cut of the new and
attractive Red Cross Christmas Seal,
and beg that you will run 1t every
day in December with an appropriate
title and superscription, as this will
be a reminder to the public and of
great assistance.
Last year 100000 was raised in the
United States, and Vermont's share
was only $4,000, when as Lieut.. Gov
Fiske says there ought to be at least
one seal sold for every man, woman
and child in Vermont, and at least
$350C. 90 raised this year 1t will re-
quire strenuous effort on the part OF
the friends OF the American Red
Cross and all who are interested to
see the prevention of the dreaded di.
sease, which sweeps away one in ten
of our population
Several complaints have been re-
ceiyed that our people have not been
fully informed that this work is going
on; that the funds raised are TO be
used within the State of Vermont for
the treatment of INDECENT patients at
the Pittsford Sanitarium; and that its
National Work is carried on stimuli
taneous throughout the Country and
only twelve and a half per cent of
the funds raised are usued by the Ma
tional Society for the Study and Pre-
vention of tuberculosis in their
Great Campaign. 1t is expected that
million dollars will be raised this
year. We must depend upon the
press to give the greatest publicity tC
this worthy cause.
