OTHER. ARRESTS EXPECTED.

Los Angeles. April 22.-The arrest
in Indianapolis tonight of Mcnamara
for alleged completely in the dyna-
hitting of the Times was made on
instructions from the district attorney
of Los Angeles county. The arrest is
the first made since the grand jury,
after several weeks of investigation,
returned twenty three indictments
against parties alleged to be con-
cerned in the disaster. There is rea-
son to believe that it will be followed
by many others involving prominent
labor leaders The theory of the
will be that the explosion
was the result of a conspiracy formed
for the purpose of retaliating upon
the newspaper for its attitude toward
union labor The district attorney
intimates that other arrests are to be
expected. He admits the theory he
is working upon is that the men
known by the names of J. b. Bryce,
VI. A. Schmidt and David Caplan
purchased from a giant powder COM
pany at San Francisco the explosives
which destroyed the Times and were
melted thereto by Mcnamara and
others.

EXPLOSIVES UNEARTHED.

Immediately after the officers Of
the union were searched Detective
Burns and a squad of his men wet
to the barn west of Indianapolis.
where the explosives were unearthed.
The detectives then returned to
the city. when a search in the base
ment OF the union headquarters re-
vealed more explosives.
President Ryan said he had been
connected with labor unions several
years and had never heard of a cOse
such as is charged against Mcnamara.
He said he had known cases where
plants" had been made by enemies
of labor organizations, and that if
explosives were found there they
must have been installed by enemies
of the union.
The custodian of the building where
the offices Of the union are located
said that Mcnamara had come to
him six months ago and asked for a
storeroOm and that his request was
granted. He added that he had never
seen Mcnamara or any of his asso-
ciates of the International Iron Work
ers Union carry anything to or from
the storeroom.

STORY OF A LONG CHASE.
Detective Burns Noticed Resemblance
Between Two Jobs.

Chicago, April 22.-Detective William
]. Burns, who assisted in the graft eX-
posures in San Francisco and uncOv-
cred conditions in the Illinois Central
roailroad which resulted in the indict-
ment of several officials. was in COM
municatiOn with the detective agency
tonight of which he is a member and
told of the events leading to the cap
ture Of the men charged with the dyna-
hitting.
He was in Los Angeles at tie time
of the explosion and for a while worked
under the supervision of the Los An
geles police then, following a misun-
derstanding. he took up the work on his
on responsibility.
He turned TO his evidence of an at
tempt to dynamite a bridge at Peoria.
Illinois. in September, 1910, where an
Internal machine planted near the
bridge failed To explode. The cOndi-
tions at Peoria coincided so closely
with those following the Times eXplo-
sion that the detective decided that
both explosions had been the work Of
the same men. The detective already
had a suspicion that the Peoria work
had been cone by Ortie r. McManigal
Of Chicago. and when he returned to
Peoria he surrounded McManigars
home here with watchers.

WHO BRYCE" WAS.

Detectives, closing in on the ChiCa-
go man, followed him to his first meet
ing with James Mcnamara, whom at
that time they knew only as j. b.
Bryce" or "Bryson," under which
name the explosives said to have been
used in blowing up the. Times plant,
were purchased.
McManigal and Mcnamara then
came east. the same train bearing their
watchers. The pair went to Kansas
City and Peoria again, to South Chi
cago, to Milwaukee and a dozen other
points, always carrying a mysterious
suitcase which it was later learned
contained the clockwork basis from
which the Internal machines were
formed.
Finally the pair went to indianapolis
where interviews were held with Sec
.retary John Mcnamara, when for the
first time he had appeared in any con-
nection with the dynamiting. First
they visited Secretary McNamara's Of
flee at night and held a long consulta-
tion. The next day Secretary McNa-
mara kept an appointment with the
two men in a street near his office and
the three went into another cOnsulta-
tiOn iu a saloon

indianapolis, April 22.-After months
of investigation directed by William
Burns. private detective, John McNa-
mara. international secretary Of the
International Bridge and Structural
Iron Workers Of America, the head
quarters of which are in Indianapolis,
was arrested here today charged with

Four hours after Mcnamara was
arrested detectives found two quarts
of nitrogIycerine and seventeen sticks
of dynamite in a barn three quarters
Of : mile west Of indianapolis. The
barn. the detectives say, was rented
bv Mcnamara from T. II. Jones, the
owner.
A later investigation Of the inter
national office OF the union disclosed
in a storeroom Of the basement sixty
four sticks (about sixty pounds of
dynamite. 200 feet Of fuse, 500 dyna-
mite caps, one dozen small alarm
clocks and a leather case made TO
carry a ten pound can OF nitro

A BRIDGE SAVED.

Then McManigal and James Nc
Namara again went to Kansas City
and following them the watchers
found a plant arranged under a
bridge and by throwing a quantity of
nitroglycerin they found there. into
the waters below. they prevented an
other explosion.
From this time frequent visits were
made by the two men to the office
of Secretary Mcnamara in Indianap-
oils, the detectives gaining new evi-
dence and preparing for the round
up"
They followed McManigal to To-
ledo, where he was joined by James
Mcnamara. The two then departed
for Detroit both carrying heavy suit
cases. Watchers in Detroit had in
formed Burns. the detective asserted.

wreck the new S2.000.000 terminal
station and it was determined to
prevent this loss. Chicago detectives

Every Prospect Of Immedi
ale Mexican Peace
THE VITAL POINT WAIVED
Madero Will Not Insist Up
on the Resignation of
President Diaz - Return
of Peace Emissaries from
Conference With Leader.

Fl PasO. April 22.-Members of the
peace mission tonight declared that
the revolution in Mexico is as good
as ended. General Madero has agreed
To an armistice provided that the gov
ernment will rest all military opera
tions. and a favorable reply from the
City of Mexico is regarded as = fore
gone conclusion.
General Navarro, from the forest of
his furious gray whiskers, smiled a
benevolent smile, and in advance of
official orders released three American
prisoners, Blatt, Converse and Brown.
from the Juarez Jail, where they have
been confined for eight weeks for
participation in the revolution.
The peace mission met Madero in
small adobe house just across the
river from the smelter. and the latter
repeated To them his statement earlier
given To the Associated Press, that
he did not insist upon the resignation
of DiaZ as essential to negotiations
for peace. This was the vital point
in the negotiations.
MaderO said that all he Will insist
upon in addition to the reforms al
ready instituted, is that the people of
Mexico shall have a square deal, as
provided in the constitution.
The members of the mission re-
turned to FL Paso highly elated. The
details of the interview with the rebel
commander We're not given out. but it
is known that many facts hitherto un-
known to MaderO were poured into
his attentive ears. Ii is said that he
has been in almost complete igno-
rance of what has been going on in
the outside world for more than a
month.
Tomorrow it is expected a modus
Vivendi Will be discussed and possibly
adopted II is also probable that the
City of Mexico and General Madero
will be negotiated with through the
mission. One member of il, Rafael

SENATE SNARL
MAY Be SERIOUS
DEMOCRATS MAY DECIDE A RE
PUBLICAN QUARREL.
An Unprecedented Situation Has Been
Brought About

Washington, April 22-The demo-
Gratis of the senate may be called
upon to arbitrate the differences be-
tween the republican regulars and
prOgressives' over the question of
committee assignments. This unprece-
dented situation was predicted tonight
following an adjournment of a meet
ing of the republican committee on
committees. at which the demands of
the progressives for the right to die
tate the appointment of one-fourth of
the republican members of all COM
mltteeS was again denied
The prOgressives did not ask for
formal recognition. but this made no
change in the vote of To {, by which
the original demands We're defeated
II was said the progressives will ap-
peal to the senate from the assign
ments of the committee on commit
tees. and in this way the democrats
will be called in to settle the diff
Guilty.
Neither of the republican factions
is disposed to shirk responsibility for
the situation. If the dispute gets into
the hands of the democratic senator's
it is predicted that the result may be
far more consequential. The snarI
would be such that no one could fore
cast the legislative results of the
session

A CHARGE OF MURDER.

The warrant against Mcnamara
charges him specifically with murder
in completely with dynamiting the
Times. and also alleges that he was
implicated in the explosion of the
Llewellyn iron works. in Los Angeles,
December "a, 1909 Burns said that
further developments were expected
to disclose the perpetrators of explo-
sions directed against employers here,
in Omaha, Columbus, Ind, and other
places.
At midnight March 23' last explo-
Sions occurred i'm the court house at
Omaha, under construction, and at
the plant Of Caldwell & Drake. in
Columbus. Ind. They were the con-
tractors for the court house. The es
timated loss was $4,000. 1t is said
that they had a dispute with the iron
workers union.
On the night of October "a, 1909.
the new telephone exchange building
and the saw-mill. garage and home
Of Albert Won Spreckelsen. a con-
tractor here. were almost destroyed
by explosions of dynamite. Won
Spreckelsen had employed nom union
workers in several of his contracts
He was engaged in constructing the
telephone exchange building and a
part Of the material was being pre-
pared at the saw-mill. After the eX
plosions he discharged his nOn-union
workmen and engaged union men.
The police investigation apparently
came to nothing
Burns, who is a detective from Los
Angeles, has been here several days,
but his movements were carefully
hidden by the police until the raid
was made

THE WORK OF MONTHS.

McNamaras arrest followed an IN
vestigation lasting several months
during which detectives have been
in indianapolis. Burns himself made
FREQUENT trips here and was At all
times in touch with the men ne had
at work on the case. Requisltlon
papers from the governor Of Califor-
MIA having been signed by Governor
Marshall before the arrest, Mcnamara
was taken to police headquarters by
the detectives, where he was imme-
diately arraigned by Judge Collins
in police court.
The requisition was granted and

been arrested in the association head
quarters in the American Central
Life building, where a meeting OF the
legislative board was adjourned, ana
he was taken from the city by four
detectives in an Automobile. IhelT
destination is not known, but 1t Is
supposed that it was the plan OF
the officers to get Mcnamara out
of the state before his friends had
chance to fight the requisition.
HURRIED OUT OF STATE.
Although he pleaded in police court
to be given time to procure an at
torney his request was refused by
Judge Collins, who maintained that
after the requisition papers had been
signed he could do nothing but per

senting California, who was present
