Who Beside Nc
Namara Brothers?

Indianapolis. Ind, Dee. l2.-Who
besides John J. and James b. McNa-
mara handled or had knowledge of
the interstate shipment of the ton or
more of dynamite and nitro-glycerine
used in blowing up iron and steel
structures erected by firms employing
non-union men in the last five years
This question was inquired into by
government officials, today, prepara-
tory to the resumption, Thursday, of
the federal grand jury's investigation
of an alleged nationwide dynamite
conspiracy. Clerks who wrote letters
baggagemen, shippers and all those
who are supposed to have had even
the remotest knowledge of the move
ment of the explosives or where ana
how they were stored, are among the
several hundred witnesses who have
been summoned to testify before the
grand jury.
The instances of the finding of the
explosives about which special inquiry
was made. today, are the following:
One thousand four hundred and
ninety pounds of dynamite discovered
in a padlocked box in barn in the
rear of Oltie McManigal's fathers
house at Tiffin. Ohio, April %. 1911.
Ninety pounds of dynamite sticks
found in the basement of a building in
indianapolis in which We're located
the offices of the International Asso-
citation of Bridge and Structural Iron
Workers on April %, 1911. few hours
aftcr the arrest of John j. Mcnamara,
the secretary treasurer of the asso-
eiaticn.
twenty-five pounds of nitro glyeer-
inc dynamite found in piano box in
the western outskirts of Indianapolis,
a few days later.
Thirty eight quarters of nitro gly-
cerine buried in a shed near Rochester,
Pa,
The points upon which enlighten-
ment was sought in connection with
these instances We're:
Who wrote the correspondence rel
alive to the purchase and shipment of
the explosives?
Who paid the bills and kept the ac-
counting of expense?
By what means were the explosives
transported?
Although District Attorney Charles
w. Miller declined to discuss the pro-
gress of the preparations for submits
sion of evidence to the grand jury, he
anticipated the purpose of the govern
ment to effect an exhaustive investiga-
ton. Every witness who can furnish
any information, however slight, will
be summoned.
To all appearances the headquar-
tiers of the International Association of
Bridge and Structural Iron Workers
were closed, today.
The shades were drawn the door
was locked and the whereabouts of
Herbert S. Hockin, the acting seere-
tary, became a mystery.

THE THREE
BROTHERS,

Once upon a time there came
great famine In Russia. No rain fell
for months. The seeds in the earth
could not grow. Many people died.
and the cattle perlshed.
The ruler Of the empire wasa young
man. Instead Of asking advice VI the
older men, he fOoiishly consulted Tile
younger ones. These advised hihi 10
drown all the old people IN the EN-
pire. And the order went forth.
Now, In a certain place We're three
brothers and their aged father. When
the father heard Of this command lie
said: my sons, such Is the will vi G"d
and the will Of the emperor. Let hle
perish ut once that you may live
mo, our daddy! We m"y de, bu!
we will not give you up" cried the
good sons, throwing their all.is arou.-d
his neck. "We will take from o.:
own mouths and nourish YOU"
Then the boys took the father i2to
their cottage, dug up the floor. mae
ND q bed under 1t and placed the old
man there. Giving him loaf Ii
black bread, they covered him oT"E
with the floor. There the old man
lived, his sons secretly bringing hiii Il
share Of all they had.
A year passed. and spring cail'
again. 1t was tiIle to SOW. but there
was little seed. When people cast inc
seed into the earth 1t rotted there
Then the three sons went to their Il
ther and asked him, Daddy, what
shall we doi"
"My SONS. strip the old roof OF the
house. thrash the bundles and SOW the
chafr" The lads stripped the house
and barn and thrashed the bundles.
When they sowed God gave his bless
Ing In weeks time plants appeared;
| I'm two months time there WIS corn
and all manner OF seed was found.
There was rye: there were wheat ana
barley; there was a plant OF DUCK
wheat. Wherever else the people
Looked the plain was ovcrgrown Win
..rnssc; and weeds and thistleS. but
| with the good SONS the corn wns like
| forest. The people marveled.
News Of the wonder went over the
whole land until it reached the en-
peror himself He ordered the three
brothers TO appear In his royal pres
ence.
The brothers heard Of it and said, eli
,.,;,, oo hard with u.s." They went
| again to the father.
Daddy, advise us what to do.
Go, my sons, and tell the pure
truth" said the old man.
When the brothers appeared Mt cour
the emperor inquired threateningly.
"Why, villains, did you hoard VI
corn when there was such famine
that many people died Of hunger? Tel
the truth; If not I shall order you Il
be put to death"
The three brothers told the stor!
,ust az It had been from beginning Il
end.
The emperor's brow became smooth
his ewes less stern. He ordered the ol'
father to be brought to sit beside hln
on his throne to give him counsel. I'M
sons he rewarded handsomely. I'M
corn he ordered to be collected ear b.
ear and to be rubbed out II men
hands. 1t was then sent about 10
seed corn. aid the people suffered IN
more from the famine.

Tn. m.d,c,u., Value Of Apples.

The Medicinal Value Of Apples.
As the apple is generally with Us, II 10
we'll to remember that this fruit con-
tains a larger percentage Of phosphorus
than any other fruit or vegetable. This
phosphorus 10 admirably adapted for re-.
newing the essential nervous matter OF
the brain and spinal cord. Also, the
acids of the apple are Of signal use Tor
people of sedentary habits, whose livers
are sluggish In action, those acids serving
to eliminate from the body noxious mat
ters which, II retained, would make the
brain heavy and dull, or bring about
| jaundice or skin eruptions and other
troubles.
Some such experience must have led
to our custom of taking apple sauce with
roast pork, rich goose, and like dishes.
The malic acid OF ripe apples, either raw
or cooked, will neutralize any excess oil
chalky matter engendered by eating too
much.
1t is also the fact that fresh fruits aa
the apple, pear and the plum, when taken
ripe, and without sugar, diminish acidity
in the stomach rather than provoke 1t.
Their vegetable salts and juices are con-
verted into alkaline carbonates, which
tend to counteract acidity.
A good, ripe, raw apple Is one OF the
easiest OF vegetable substances for the
stomach to deal with, the whole process
of its digestion being completed 10
eighty-five minutes.

Every man has one in this world
and values 1t above all things, yet
spends 1t ceaselessly. Never nc
chooses 1t. sometimes he loses 1t, often

There is more Of 1t for baby than
