Tells of Crime In Detail.

Chicago, HIN ninety closely type
written pages, according to detectives,
Ortie McManigal, one of the men ar
rested for alleged implication in the
blowing up of the office Of the Los An
geles Times in Los Angeles. has re-
cited in detail how 112 lives were sac
riiced and 3d. 500, 900 worth Of proper.
ty was destroyed in a long fight of
organized labor against the principle
of the open shop.
McManigal was arrested with John
Mcnamara of Indianapolis, secretary
Of the International Bridge and Struc-
tural Iron Workers.
The story was told by McManigal
as he sat in a bedroom in the home of
City Detective William H. Reed, in
South Chicago, on the night of April
10. He started talking at midnight,
and it was breakfast when he finished.
Seated in the bedroom were William
J.. Burns, head of the detective agen-
cy; Detective Reed, several operatives
from the Burns agency and an official
stenographer of the police department.
In an adjoining room Jim" McNa-
mara was sleeping, rot Knowing that
his friend was telling the, story.
Swears to. the Confession.
When he had finished McManigal
lifted his right hand, say the detec-
tives, and swore he had told the truth.
well, it's all off now, I guess he
drawled, as he signed his name to the
document, Don't tell Jim / coughed
up, though; he would be awfully sore.
You had me, though, so all | could do
was to tell"
This document was in a wallet car
ried on the person of Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Ford of Los Angeles
when Captain of Detectives Wood
turned over Mechanical and McNa-
mara to the California officers.
Two More Implicated.
McManigal's recital concerned two
alleged dynamiters not hitherto men
tioned-M. A. Schmidt, a leading mem
Der of the Woodworkers' union of Chi
cago, and Dave Kaplan, who is said to
be serving a Jail sentence in Oklaho-
ma. Schmidt is being sought in
Ohio.
The arrest of Schmidt and Kaplan,
Detective Burns says, will clean up
the gang Of dynamiters.
He, with Captain Wood, who has
been in close touch with the case for
the last three months, declares they
have convicting proof against Jim Nc
Namara and the other men. John ].
Mcnamara, they say, furnished the
funds for the Wrecking crew.

CLARK CASE GOES
TO SUPREME COURT

The Henry n Clark case was yester-
day referred to the supreme court on
reserved questions Of law by Judge
Cooper in the criminal department Of
the circuit court. The question which
the higher tribunal has been asked to
decide is whether the demurrer to the
Indictment for embezzlement brought
against Clark should be sustained or
not.
Clark was indicted once previously
for embezzlement, but the indictment
did not stand the demurrer test and he
war released on the grounds that the
indictment had named the wrong party
from whom he had embezzled, il he had
embczzled at all.
Clark Is accused Of embezzling funds
from the police court while second clerk
there. the full amount of his shortage
being $1,000 although the indictment is
for part only Of this sum. The present
demurrer against the present indict-
ment claims that it does not present
sufficient facts to constitute a case, that
IT. does not show that the city and
county Of Honolulu Is municipal cor
poration, that thore Is no law appoint
ing second clerk in the district court
and givos several other reasons why
CLARK should not be prosecuted.

JAPAN SUFFERS
FROM EARTHQUAKE
Asama Volcano Breaks Into
EruptiOh-Great Rents Torn
in Mountain.

VICTORIA. December %. - Adyiees
were brought by the steamer Kamakura
Maru' yesterday OF the eruption of the
Asama volcano in Mumma, which three
centuries ago buried thirty villages
when it broke into eruption. AS far
as can be learned, there was little LOSE
of life on this occasion, but the country
side for forty miles was scattered with
ashes and lava flowed at Knryun.
Two tremendous explosions were eK-
perienced at Toxic, eighty miles away,
and panic was caused in many places,
the worst at the Ashio mine, near Mix
ko, where the miners rushed out. At
Toxic many rushed from the buildings
during the earthquake which accom-
panied the eruption, and loss OF life
was averted with difficulty in one place,
whore panic occurred in crowded
storytellcr's theater. A rush for the
door was prevented only by the cool
ness Of the storyteller, who abandoned
the story and began telling earthquake
experiences, stating there was nothing
to fear
The eruption, which tore two knRo
rents in the side of the mountain from
which lava flowed in streams, WAS ae-
companied by thick showers Of smoke
aud some flame, and great shower of
ashes over radius of forty miles.
Maebashi, in Gumma, and Makoahi,
in Nagano prefecture, both suffered,
the latter village feeling the shock Sc
verely. Other villages were covered
with ashes. The worst sufferer was Ko-
numamura, the village near the base OF
| the volcano, from which the villagers
took flight
Professors Omori and Akamura, the
archaeological experts, are quoted IA
| stating that the Asama volcano has be
gun n new period Of activity aud may
be expected TO break forth periodically.
