FIGURING UP THE FUND.
Federation Officers Trying to Find
Out How Much Is Left Over.

Work on the preparation Of a statement
of the receipts and expenditures Of the
Mcnamara defense fund is being done by
q large force Of clerks at the offices Of
the American Federation of Labor. The
statement is to be submitted by the COM
mittee to the executive council of the
federation when it meets January s.
Just how much remains of the fund is
problematical but it is said on good au-
thority the uneXpended balance of the
$4,000 subscribed is comparatively
small. That the proposal to distribute
the balance among the families Of the
twenty-one men who lost their lives in
the Los Angeles Times explosion received
little consideration at the hands of the
committee at its session Thursday is
known, the members contending that the
money belongs to the donors alone, and
that they have no right to make any
distribution of it without authority of the
contributors

LOS ANGELES, December 9.-The Nc
Namara brothers probably never will tes-
tify before the federal grand jury here.
1t was announced that after the ses-
sion today the grand jury. which is in
quiring into the alleged dynamite con-
spiracies would not convene again until
next Tuesday, and it was said to be certain
that by that time James 3. and John J..
Mcnamara will have begun at the San
Quentin state prison their sentences Of
life Imprisonment and fifteen years, re-
spectively, for the crimes to which they
confessed a week ago.
Their emphatic declaration that they
would not divulge what they knew of the
alleged conspiracy is said to have re-
suited in plan to take the McNamaras
to the state penitentiary either today Or
tomorrow.
Scores Of witnesses appeared In town
today in response to summonses, of which
there were 12S issued within the last few
days. 1t Is known that most of the San
Francisco labor leaders will be asked to
appear before the grand jury here.
Names of Witnesses.
The names Of those summoned have not
been given out. but it is understood that
among them are Olaf A. Tveitmoe. treas
urer of the state building trades council;
Antoine Johannsen, organizer of the same
organization. with headquarters in San
Francisco; Andrew Gallagher. secretary
Of the Central Labor Council Of San
Francisco: j. E. Munsey, business agent
Of the International Association OF Bridge
and Structural Iron Workers at Salt Lake
City; II. s. Hockin, a member Of the
executive board of the same organization,
and P. J. Smith. business agent Of the
same union at Cleveland.
Though Ortie z. McManigal for two
days has been before the grand jury, the
probabilities are that he has not finished
his testimony.
Bribery Case Next.
With the trial Of A. B. Maple, Bert
Conners and P. Ira Bender. charged with
attempting to blow up the hall Of rec
ords in August, 1910 postponed until
January 4, the only thing remaining
here pertaining to the Mcnamara case
besides the grand jury investigation. is
the case of Bert H Franklin, charged
with having bribed a prospective juror
for the Mcnamara trial.
Both District Attorney Frederfcks and
Assistant District Attorney Ford today
declared that Franklin probably would
plead guilty. The preliminary examfna-
ton Of Franklin will be continued Mon
day.

Edgars testimony dropped like a bomb
shell. n lively fight was precipitated over
its admiss bility. Judge 4Hanecy, counsel
for Senator Lorimer. heatedly declared
that if allowed to introduce it he would
show that the tax fight had been charged
indirectly to Senator Lorimer and his
friends by the principal owners of the
harvester company, and that il was the
basis of theecharges of corruption against
Lorimer.
If there had been no fight about these
taxes" declared Judge Hanecy, there
would have been no charges OF corrup-
ton, no investigation of this kind, and
this committee would not be here now"
Edgar testified further that influences
to quit the fight had been brought to bear
upon him by officials .St the Hearst news

Judge Hanecy and senators of the COM

eral Manager fUnk of the harvester com
pany, who swore at former hearings that
his company had never tried to bribe
anybody.

whether the testimony shall be admitted.

Disaster at Coal Creek.

Briceville is in Anderson county. At
Coal Creek, near here, May 10, 19o2, 2o'
men were killed in the Fratervile mine
explosion.
There are several big mines in Brice-
ville known as the oss-mountain sys-
tenn. 1t was in one of these that the
explosion occurred this morning Spe-
cial trains were sent from Knoxville
the disaster. President Stephenson of
the Knoxville Iron Company. operating
the mines, was in charge Of a train over
the Southern railway. With him went
officials of the local mine rescue station.
They carried paraphernalia of rescue.
President Stephenson declared he did
not believe the casualties would be as
large as at first were reported from
Bricevipe. He did not believe there
were many men in the mine at the time
Of the explosion.
He said the mine is usually manned
by about 200 workers. They lived about
brought to the mine in trains.
He understood several Of these traina
were late this morning. which would have
delayed the miners in getting into tho
shaft He thinks large numbers OF the
usual quota Of workers had not got Into
the mine before the blast came.
Vague Reports From Scene.
Reports from the explosion scene up to
10 o'clock were vague. Telephone mes
sages from Briceville declared the ex-
plosion occurred far back in the mine.
which extends at least two miles inte
the mountains, counting distance from
the shaft opening.
The first intimation of the expeoUlon
was a slight concussion at the shaft. then
smoke curled out from the opening.
Mr.. Stevenson said he thought there
would have been greater disturbance
about the shaft opening IL the explosion
had been of tremendous force.
Members of rescue squads who were
driven from the mine by flames and
smoke declared they had advanced a mile
into the main shaft before they were
forced to retire, and that in that dis
tance they had discovered no signs of
the imprisoned men.
Confirms Dust Theory.
Just before these rescuers were driven
out by smoke they encountered a cave
in in each of the entries. 1t was OF such
character as to almost positively confirm
the early theory that dust" had caused
the explosion
OF all the men who went into the mine
this morning three have escaped They
are John Lang, Sam Farmer and Bert
Haymaker. They were in one or the
lateral shafts at the time OF the explosion
warned by the blasts rumble they es-
caped before overtaken by flames.
These men observed bad signs as
thew entered the mine. They believe tho
exact location of the blast is at least
two miles in the interior and 500 feet
from the mountain crest.
The number OF men entombed 10 now
variousiy estimated at l26 to 266.
