lice searched the upper East Side to find
the murderer Of James McNearney, who
was shot through the heart this morning
In his apartment OF East 126th street.
None OF the prisoners is accused OF the
murder. but the police believe that they
we're members of the party, both men
and women, who were in McNearneys
rooms shortly before dawn. when sue
cession of pistol shots alarmed the neigh
borhood.
When the police arrived they found NC
Nearney dead on the floor and atone,
while Embedded in the walls were haif
dozen bullets. There was no weapon IN

body else was wounded in what other

Cause of Anti-Jewish Rioting u
Welsh Mining Towns.

LONDON, August 23.-In the opinion
of Jewish residents here the riots at
Tredegar and other Welsh mining towns
were indirectly if not directly due to the
strike ferment, and that once labor trou-
bles have vanished the present anti-Jew-
ish feeling will die natural death.
Those who hold this opinion are none
the less anxious because there are 100. :
COO Jews resident in London and many
thousands in various parts of the king
dom. and the Jews heretofore have re-
garded themselves as safe from perse-
cution in Great Britain.
NEWPORT. England, August 23.-The
anti-Jewish rioting at Tredegar and ad-
jacent towns was almost entirely the
work of hoodlums. who have obtained
strong foothold in those places because
the forces of Iolice are small. The Jews
who suffered attacks were among the
most respected of the townspeOple. and

manding high rents, and so far as can

REARRANGE ARMY POSTS.
Plans Being Worked Out to That
End by War Department.

Plans are being made at the War De-
oartment for a general rearrangement
of posts in the United States, to go
into effect after troops are sent to the
canal Zone. the Hawaiian garrisons
areeraised TO the required strength and
the Philippines are provided with suf-
ncient troops. These plans provide for
a small tactical division and cavalry
and infantry brigades. Experience
with the maneuver division emphasized
the Importance not only Of a tactical
division with which TO work out mill
tary problems, but also showed that
efficiency demands that there should
be large commands of cavalry and in
fantry.
IL is probable that q brigade Of cav
airy win be stationed at Fort Riley.
The station OF the infantry brigade
has not been selected. The tactical di-
vision will be composed largely of
reRimental posts located in the same
section of country. The formation of
that division naturally will result in
the abandonment of several small
posts. Ii is planned to have nothing
smaller than a regimental post.
