McNamara and Ortie McManigal, will
 arrive to face the charge of having de-
 stroyed the Times plant has been for two days the principal occupation of the officials who will be charged with
 the safe keeping of the alleged con- spirators. N All maintain that William J. Burns, | the detective who tracked the &C., cused men, is keeping his own coun- sel.
 | That they are coming across the con- tinent by zigzag routes is, however, as- | trains were dummies whose expenses
 bastion said today he believed the pris- oners and their guards would not arr rive for two weeks. Sheriff Hammel, who will be directly charged with the custody of the alleged plotters. de- clared they probably would not arrive
 until the last of this week instead of | Wednesday as expected.
 | Hammel laughed when told that the prisoners had been seen at Kansas | City and o11er points en route today | and suggested that the hanucuffed men seen aboard the trans-continental trains were dumn.oes whose expenses were being paid to throw off the trail any one who might stop the passage of the officers and their charges with
 habeas corpus writs or by more speedy and violent means.
 Hammell said those in charge of Mo-
 Namara and McManigal might change routes several times during the trip and come by way of the southern trunk lines or via San Francisco. In any case one of the county motor cars will be sent 50 or 60 miles out of the city to meet the prisoners and bring them secretly to the county jail. When they are safely in their cells extra guards will be placed on duty and no one will be permitted to see tn em until officials of the district att torney's office have interviewed each of the trio.
 Feeling Intense A large details of new men were ex-
 amined today by Chief of Police Sebastian.
 He declined to say whether the additions to the police force were being made on account of the tense situation that has developed here since the arrests in In-
 dianapolis and in Detroit.
 The iron workers are on strike here and though there has been no belligerent ex- pression from the union men, the police regard the situation with damaging alert | ness.
 Several police officers expressed the fear that the arrival of the McNamaras
 and McManigal might be the signal for
 precipitating the long threatened general
 strike for unionizing Los Angeles. Such strike coming before or during the trials of the alleged conspirators
 might create dangerous condition. Such fears on the part of the police are
 unfounded, according to a statement is-
 sued today by J. E. Timmons, general or
 ganizer of the iron workers. who is in charge of the strike here. Timmons said
 all the labor unions wanted was a square deal. He asserted 1t was palpably the intention of the foes of union labor to lay at the doors of the working mems
 union responsibilities for the Times out rage.
 It was reported here that Clarence Dar-
 row, the Chicago lawyer who defended the Chicago miners in the Idaho dynamit- ing case, would take the lead in defend ing the McNamaras and McManigal. It was said also that Attorney Rappaport, counsel for the International Iron Work CTS association at Indianapolis would be the personal representative of John Mc- Namara, Job Hartman, a socialist att torney, also was mentioned as a probable member of labors legal array at the trial. A report that habeas corpus proceed ings would be instituted immediately upon the arrival of the prisoners could not be ve rified
