PROBE
IS NEXT IN Line
Los Angeles Grand Jury to
Investigate Dynamiting.
THEIR STATUS In DOUBT


Called Upon to Testify, the Evil
dence of a Confessed Murderer Not
Being Admissible in Court of Law
In California.
Los Angeles, Cal, Dec THE stage
is set for a federal grand jury investi-
cation in Los Angeles of an alleged
nationwide dynamiting conspiracy
The town, vexed and torn by the late
ly concluded trial of James b. McNa-
mara and the events leading to it.,
would be glad to let go of the whole
affair, prominent citizens declare But
1t is felt that such a scheme is out of
the question.
McManigal's "reminiscences, as al
ready given out by him, include both
the transportation eff the dynamite
from state to state and conspiracy to
blow up various structural iron edi
fees in the country lie says he did
many jobs of this sort, and enumerat-
ed them. What the McNamaras will
tell il they appear is not so well
known.
Ii is known that the present status
OF the McNamaras has arisen as an
obstacle to their appearance before
the grand jury. The evidence of
James b. Mcnamara, confessed muir
derer. is not admissible in a court of
that of John j. Mcnamara. The rules
of grand jury procedure, however, are
not the same as those which govern
the taking of evidence in court.

CHINA'S RECENT
TIRES OF TASK
Prince Chun, Father Of Child
Emperor, Abdicates.
CHIEF FIGURE FOR YEARS

Has Been Real Ruler Of Empire Since
Death of Empress Dowsser In 1908
and His Reign Pleased Neither the
Manchus Nor the Nstives-Two
Men Named TO Succeed Him as
Guardian of the Throne.
Peking. Dec. Prince Chun, the
regent, and father of the child emper.
or, has abdicated.
His place as guardian of the throne
is taken Jointly by Shih Hsu, Man
chu prince, and former president of
the national assembly, and Hsu Shi
Chang, vice president of the privy
council.
Prince Chun has been the chief fg.
ure In China since the death of the
emperor, Kwang Su. and the empress
dowager in 1908. From the dark days
which followed the death of those rul.
ers he emerged the ruler Of China.
At no time was Prince Chun's re.
gency smooth one. He tried to hold
to a middle ground. which pleased
neither the Manchu reactionaries nor
the native progressives. He handled
the present crisis with perhaps some
thing less than his old time vigor and
recent reports have hinted that his
mind was weakening.
Wa Ting Fang, the former Chinese
minister at Washington, now one of
the revolutionary leaders In Shanghai,
issued an appeal to Chun a few days
ago urging him to abdicate In favor oil
the republic.

Ohio Sunday Baseball
Near to Realization

COLUMBUS, Ohio, March 4.-The
Ohio house of the general assembly
voted for the Greeves Sunday baseball
bill. and that measure is now a half
law. AS soon as 1t can be passed in
the State senate 1t will go to Gov. Jud-
son Harmon for his signature and will
then become a law. The concurrence OF
the senate is fully counted on by Repre-
sentative Greeves, who says that he
has received the assurance Of the Sem
ators that they will support the bill.
This action of the house in voting for
the measure was made possible in the
face of efforts of Floor Leader Price
Russell to put up the bars against the
game on Sunday. The vote on the
measure was 81 for the bill and IS
against 1t. Representatives Greeves
and Fellinger. of Cleveland, made the
principal speeches for the measure
The bin provides that in any city or
town in the State baseball games can
be played on Sundays if the voters of
that city or town so decide. This will
allow Sunday baseball in Cleveland and
will let down the bars which have all
ways been held up by the city officials
there.
Since the Cleveland men were most
anxious to have these games it is sup
posed that the treasury of the Maps will
be sweetened by several thousand extra
dollars during the next baseball season.
In several cities such as Columbus,
Toledo, and Dayton this matter of Sun
day baseball will be brought up at an
early election when the bill passes.

Cooks an Omelet
Thereby Is a Tai

Helen CulIinan cooks an omeIet for
her quarantined associates in Seven
| Days" They all refuse to eat it, how
ever, declaring that they were engaged
to play in farce, and that 1t would be
breach of etiquette, besides being un-
professional, to turn farce into a
| tragedy without the consent of the au-
thors. Even the poor starved burglar
gags when he gets a mouthful of It.
Miss Cullinan explains that her fall
ure is due to a disregard to the old
proverb-'Too many cooks spoil the
broth" In her culinary attempts she
is assisted by Willard Louis, as Jim
! Wilson, and W. S. Lyons as Tom
HARRISON. Jim furnishes the cook book
and Tom breaks the eggs, separates,
beats and folds them. These three men,
bers Of the quarantined household have
been elected cook. assistant cook and
scullion, respectively, and each one
blames the other for the failure.
The question now arises as to whether
the recipe used for cooking the ONE
lette is correct or not. Miss Tapley has
received several letters on the subject.
Mr.. Louis stoutly insists that It is
right, because he got it out of a cook
book. Lyons claims that his part of
the job is done expeditiously and well,
that he does it exactly as he saw 1t
Done last summer while on an auto
mobile trip through France, by one Of
the most expert "omeletteers'' on the
Carcassonne road.
Claire Grenville, who also lays claim
to large amount of culinary lore, af-
firms that this mixing up of American
and French cookery is enough to spoil
any omelet
The omelet episode furnishes a SAM
pie of the ridiculous situations to be
found In the offering at the National
next week

NEW YORK, March 4-There was
action enough in the short session TO,

hands down its trust decision. Traders
will not 90 home long stOck-that Is
many traders will not; they are going
to have the decks cleared on Saturday
by noon, sleep easy two nights and be
ready for action when the decision IS
handed down. After this contingent
had Iiqudated its contracts, pressing
the market to its lowest point OF the
day and an average of q Of point be-
low the final figures Of yesterday after
noon, the market rallied somewhat ard
in many instances closed with modest
gain, net, for the session.
Trading rooms all over the city were
filled with spectators and spectators,
anxious to get a line on the extra ses-
sion and to watch the course OF the
market as a result thereof.
The extra session has been discounted
by the action of the market all week,
and the low levels thus established have
put the market in better shape to stand
jar from the Supreme Court or to
rally on a favorable decision, favorable
from the Wall Street point of view-that

Highest Mountain Is
Reported in Kashmir

DR.. Tom Longstaff sends word to the
Royal Geographical Society from Asia
he has found in Kashmir the highest
mountain in the world. 1t is in the Kara
Korams range and forms a part of what
the explorer calls a vast wall of hither-
to unknown peaks to the northeast OF
the Saltoro Pass. He names the noun
tain Teram Kangri, and he measures it's
height at exceeding $1,000 feet. Mount
Everest, in the Himalayas, near the
Nepal-Thibet frontier, rises 29,00 feet
to the sky IT has long been called the
highest peak in the world. Before Long
staff got there the Goodwin Austen peak
in the Kara Korams held the record in
that region, g ,21S feet.-New York Press
