U. 5. investigators at indianapolis and
California Authorities Work in
Hsrmony-Expect New
Arrests Soon.

Los Angeles, Cal.-"The United
States government and the California
authorities are cooperating to uncov-
er one of the most gigantic ~conspira-
cies ever conceived in the history of
this country"
This was the declaration of Assist
ant District Attorney w. Joseph Ford,
second in command to District Attor-
ney John D. Fredricks and the mar
who was arrested in Indianapolis for
alleged illegal extradition of John ].
Mcnamara.
ut is only a question now of wheth-
er the federal government or the
state authorities can reach certain
persons better and bring them to JUS
tice more eff~ectually," continued Mr..
Ford.
The latter has been in charge of
the gathering of evidence for the
prosecution, and while his chief, Dis
trict Attorney Fredricks, was resting
on a ranch near here Ford occupied
himself with the details of the Nc
Namara case. He admitted that the
prosecution had under surveillance in
other parts of the country some prom
inent labor leaders alleged to have
been involved In the Times explosion,
but said that other arrests might be
made by the federal government in'
connection with it's investigation.
Federal officials Active.
1.-THE federal government has shown
every disposition to assist us, and we
are helping them as much as posi-
ble," he said.
The vigor with which the federal
government is pressing it's investiga-
ton into the conspiracy which is al
legged to extend over the entire coun-
Try had been increased within the last
fortnight, according to we'll informed
persons here, and in proof of this it
Is observed that United States Dis
trict Attorney A. l. Mccormick now
is in Washington and United States
District Attorney Miller of Indianapo-
lis and District Attorney Fredricks
are in close communication.
Evidence desired by the federal
grand jury in Indianapolis from this
place will go forward as quickly as 1t
is asked for, said Ford. This ques-
ton has been raised repeatedly and
local authorities have not stated their
position before.
The ramifications of the matter are
said to be so extensive that it would
cause no surprise here if the subject
had been brought to the attention not
only of President Taft, but also of At
torney General Wickersham.

MISSOURI NEWS
FEW CAPITOL q
Less Than Twentieth of Bond Issue
Subscribed Fer.

Jefferson City.-Only s159,50O rep
resented the bids opened by the state
board of fund commissioners upon
the $500, 900 issue of state capitol
building bonds. This sum is less than
one-twentieth of the issue.
Gov. Hadley, after a consultation
with the commission, said nothing
would be done with the bonds until
James Cowgirl, state treasurer, re-
turns from Rochester, Mimi, where
he recently underwent a second OPP
Grafton.
"The board believes it will be able
to dispose of the entire issue within
a short time, as we have a plan for
selling the bonds" said the governor.
But he did not indicate what that
plan is.
Il do not think he said, the fact
the bids were not sufficient to take
all the bonds offered justifies the con-
clusion they will not be sold for par.
1t is rather an indication there is a
general prosperous condition in Mis-
souri, which has made people believe
they a receive a higher interest re-
turn on their investments"

The Democrats, lob

In 1908 Taft got 1.270.00O more
votes than Bryan. To win mart year
the Democratic party must capture
more than six hundred thousand Of
these hostile votes.
1t won't be an easy job. A candi-
date who makes merely the old par
tisan appeal can't do 1t. Unless the
Democrats nominate a man of the
highest type who will get the indie
pendent vote they will go down in
1912 as they did in 1896, in 1900. in,
1904 and in 1908.

Jack Burke, Now of Cedar

Provoke.
Especial to TIE T1MEs.l

Crown Point. Ind, April 27.-The
first day of the Circuit court was taken
up with the trial OF Nick Burke. form
erly of Cedar Lake but now of Gary,
the erstwhile notorious lake character
being charged with provoke. The incl
dent from which the trial arose zap
pened last July when Burke, Accord
ing to the evidence boarded a Monon
train, got into war of words with
Conductor Ernest and before he had
alighted from the train at the request of
the conductor had said enough abusive
language to convict him with being
guilty of provoke by the jury in yes
terday's trial One cent and costs
were returned against Burke and the
former Cedar Lake man will learn that
1t costs quite penny to talk ungentle-
manly to people who are NOT in the
mood to stand for It.

ABLEMAN CASE IS
LOST BY PLAINTIFF

The jury in the case of Sam Able
man VS.. Otto Haehnel. administrators of
the estate of Michael Guenther, re-
turned verdict in favor of the de-
PENDANT and against the plaintifr after
being out only eight minutes.
Thus a trial which was extended over
a period of eight days was decided in
eight minutes by the jury Starr Ster-
reli was the foreman of the jury and
returned the simple verdict. I'VE the
jury find for the defendant"
The trial of this case involved notes
to the amount of $4,000. which are al
legged to have been secured by Able
man from old man Guenther by mis-
representation and fraud.
The case was interesting in view of
the fact that Attorney William J.
WINERY. who was associated with Ed
ward Schottler for the plaintifr, took
occasion to attack the character OF
Attorney George B. Sheerer. who to-
gether with A. f. Knots and D. e.
Boone, represented the defense.

and because the records of the build
ing and loan companies show that
they have been excellently managed.
object TO Sinking Fund.
The officers of the various institu-
tions object to the sinking fund
clause. At first blush il appears to be
quite acceptable. The new law pro-
vfdes that each association shall set
aside from the gross profits at least 3
per cent thereof each year to provide
against contingent losses until the to-
tai amount OF such fund so set aside
shall equal 5 per cent of the asse rs
of the association.
The objection that is being made
against this clause is that the present
stakeholder whose stock natures not
less than six years hence would have
to help pay for a contingency which
may arise long after his stock had
matured and his membership expired
Were the stock permanently in force
it is argued that the contingent fund
were proper. but that otherwise 1t is
ievying an unjust tax on the stock
holder.
It was not known in Hammond at
the time the legislature was in ses-
Sion that building and loan law was
considered. but with the exception of
the contingent fund clause 1t has
worked out very acceptably.

HoUsEHoLD SUGGESTIONS.

To remove paint from china. boil in
water In which a liberal amount OF
concentrated I've has been dissolved.
Sprinkle a little white sugar over
sponge cake just before setting it in the
oven to bake. 1t will form dainty
crust over the top.
II you desire to serve q baked fish
whole and have 1t stand upright on
the platter put carrot inside the fish
before cooking and it will remain in
position.
For cleaning the flatiron when starch
sticks to it use piece of fine wire
screening. Put the screening on pa
per on the ironing board and run iron
over 1t. This Is much better than
scraping the starchy deposit off with q
knife.
Fish that is to be friend should be
