President DiaZ asks his aid in an at

Reyes expects TO sail within a fort

This in brief is the distinguished

months Reyes has been living the life

PRECAUTIONS TAKEN.

So that there would be no hitch in
the preliminary details at Chicago and
Indianapolis, the district attorney sent
his assistant, William J. Ford, with
Flammer to indianapolis to procure
the necessary eXtradition papers and
the expedious removal Of John Nc
Namara from Indiana without pub
licity.
The secrecy with which Mcnamara
was whisked out of Indianapolis be
fore he could communicate with his
attorney was what created anger at
Labor Temple and caused the union
men to compare the tactics of Burns
and his assistants with those en-
ployed when Moyer- Haywood and
Pettibone were taken out of Colorado
and transported to Idaho To face the
accusation of Harry Orchard that they
concocted the plot which resulted in
the death of Governor Steunenberg by
a dynamite explosion.
1t is probable that when the iron
workers official appears with his
brother and their alleged accomplice
for trial there will be enacted in the
Los Angeles courts scenes similar to
those that transpired at Boise during
the progress of the Steunenberg case.
Scores of labor leaders from San
Francisco and elsewhere who appeared
before the grand jury will be called
again as will the survivors of the
Times explosion, and the thrOng of
detectives employed on the case both
by Burns and the Merchants and
Manufacturers association.
ANOTHER ORCHARD EXPECTED.
That the Mcnamara case may also
have its Harry Orchard is speculation

quarters. According to information
Chief Sebastian has received, James
Mcnamara, after his arrest at Detroit,
made the statement that he knew his

Chicago, April 23.-Captain Stephen
Woods, chief of Chicago detectives.
said tonight that fun confession had
been obtained from one Of the men
arrested at Detroit in connection with
the Los Angeles Times explosion.
The alleged confession. it is said,
covers ninety typewritten pages and re-
lates 10 the movements of the men now
under arrest and others sought by de
tectives.
According to Captain Wood, it de-
scribes in detail the dynamiting of
buildings, railroad trains and factories
where conflicts between union and
non-union labor existed. The loss Of
many lives and the destruction of prop
erty valued at two millions is said to
be detailed
The chief Of the Chicago detective
department said the the confession was
placed in the possession of attorneys
representing the National Erectors' as
sociation and has been sent TO Los An
geles To be used in the trial Of the cases
against the men under arrest
The confession was made at the
home of Detective Reed in South Chi
cago." said Wood. More arrests in
the cases are expected and any dis
closure of the details Of the confession
at this time would make them almost
impossible While here the men under
arrest were never in communication
with each other and neither knew that
his companion was a prisone~ in the
same house.
Plants of dynamite found since the
indianapolis arrests We're told Of in
the confession and the names and
wherea bouts Of other men now being
sought are known TO the detectives"

DIR. LEWIS GOOD WORK.

Dr. Levy has occasion for just pride and the
people of Richmond for great qualification that
such remarkable results have followed the war
fare of the health department upon the typhoid
scourge In 1900 the death rate from this dis
ease in Richmond was 1o3 per 100000 popula
ton. In 1910 this mortality had been reduced
to 219 In 1911 DR.. Levy assures that it
will go still lower
All of which goes to show what can be
accomplished towards the conservation OF the
public health by well organized department
of health conducted according to scientific
methods and supplied with sufficient funds for
effective maintenance and aggressive work.
DR.. Levys department has been operated on
10 cents of every dollar spent for the support
of the city government. II he could get appro-
priations little larger what might he not do
in making Richmond model city in ciean1i-
ness and healthfulness?
This department is OF the most valuable
agencies of the city administration. In Its
constant campaign against conditions that are
conducive to disease it deserves the sympathy
and support of every citizen

GERMANY AND FRANCE AGREE.

That Germany has with as good grace az
possible consented to the settlement of the
Moroccan controversy upon conditions agree
able to France. and probably dictated by
France appears in the terms Of the treaty made
public for the first time In Paris
France is accorded the full right to establish
protectorate in Morocco and in compensa-
ton cedes to Germany certain territory in the
northern French Congo, with a population of
about million negroes
The treaty has aroused storm of indig,
nation among the German people who from
the first seemed DESTROYS of disputinx the mat
ter at arms. Indeed. 1t appeared In the Begin
ming that a war between the two nations would
be the probable result. but the dependence OF
Germany upon French bankers and the fear
that England might Join forces with France
Influenced the Kaiser's government to meet the
issue in the spirit Of compromise and conclia-
ton.
That the dispute has found amicable settle
ment and that war has been averted will cause
satisfaction in the civilized world-for war BE-.
tween these powers would probably have IN
volved their allies and waged at fearful cost
The iingoes. when their heat has cooled and
sober second thought takes possession OF their
minds, will realize that the pezceable settle
ment the better way and honor rests upon
the nation that makes concession in the name
of peace.

HORRIBLE.

communities now under that law would hasten

the way to the scene OF the proposed eAecu.
ton the mob par,ook too freely OF the liquor
they had in way procured and when the
fateful hour arrived. they were so drunk that
instead of meeting his death, the negro made
hts escape
Our contemporary with skilIful hand works
out a magnificent argument against prohibition
The syllogism is complete and unanswerable,
Georgia is prohib 'tion State,
mob bent on lynching got drunk in pro
hibtion State
Therefore prohibition Is a failure.
Or another syllogism. equally as strong, may
be advanced from the circumstance, viz:
Whisky broke up a lynching bee.
whissey was obtained in prohibition Geor-
gia.
Therefore Georgia should 20 back TO the
license of liquor II it desires TO enjoy the
delights of lynehlng.
In TACT any number of syllogisms might be
formed from this incident. We wonder that
the logical faculties and adroit minds OF our
contemporary were content with only one. He
might for example have demonstrated that
murder laws we're failure because this negro
had violated them--or he might have shown
that liauor units for success by the failure
OF the mob TO accomplish its purpose. But
no he must annibilate prohibition. We won,
der that other pro-liquor papers did not recog-
nize Immediately what an absolutely unan-
s~eTab.a argument against prohibition the case
afforded.
The one weakness in the position is that this
circumstance in a prohibition State is unique
and It's isolation is singled out the basis oi
an argument In license communities the
tragedies wrought by drunken individuals an6
mobs cannot be numbered yet our broad-mind
ed friend passes them by and upon the basis
of this unusual occurrence exciaims. Thar
the possible excuses of a drunken lynchint
mob few things could be more terrible to con
template" We eoncede the fact. We deplor'
it. But we respectfully challenge the con
cusien that their drunkenness was attributable
to prohibition, and we venture the as
sertion that for this one case in prohibition
territory scores might be produced in iicens
communities differing only i'll the single nc
tail that in this the victim escaped, whicI
circumstance seems to our benighted nina
favorable to prohibition
We challenge any advocate Of the iicens
system to demonstrate from criminal record
that prohibition fosters crime aud disorder o
that license contributes to the peace and orde
Of a community. and we challenge any enthu'
iastic friend OF the saloon to state candidl
wbv in times of excitement and riot. the au
thorities invariably step in and order the 81
looms to close,
4 cause must be weak indeed when It's ao
yocates are forced to resort to such an argunei
OF accommodation as this; when they have
