tom.s Mcnamara and Ortie McManl-
ooi win arrive TO face the charge of
having destroyed the Times plant has
heen for Two days the principal occu-
nahon Of the officials who win be
charged with the safekeeping Of the
oneeed dynamite conspirators. All
maintain that William J. Burns, the
aeteetlye who tracked down the ac-
cused men, is keeping his own coun-
sell
That they are coming across the
continent By zig-zag routes is, how
ever. asserted Oh all sides. Chief OF
police Sebastian said today he be-
ueyed the prisoners and their guards
would not arrive for two weeks. Sher-
,ff Hammell. who will be directly
charged with the custody of the al
legged plotters, declared they probably
would not arrive until the last OF the
present week instead of wednesday,
as expected.
Hammel laughed when told that
the prisoners had been seen at Kansas
city and other points en- route To-Day,
and suggested that the handcuffed
men seen aboard the transcontinental
trains we're dummies whose expenses
we're being paid on the long trip to
throw off the trail anyone who might
stop the progress OF the officers and
their charges with habeas corpus
writs or more spontaneous and vio-
lent means.
These men are accused of having
committed the most colossal crime IN
modern history" said the sheriff,
"and they must be brought here. Ev-
cry contingency must be foreseen and
guarded against"
Hamme added that those in charge
Of the McNamaras and McManigal
might change routes several times
during the trip and come by the way
of the southern trunk lines or via
San Francisco. In any case one OIL
the county motor cars will be sent
fifty or sixty 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
them until officials of the district
attorneys office have interviewed
each Of the trio.
A large detail of new men were
examined today by Chief of Police
Sebastian. He declined to say whe-
ther these additions 10 the police
force were being made on account ol
the tense situation that has developed
here since the arrest of the interna-
uonal secretary of the Iron Workers
association and his two alleged con-
federates.
The iron workers are on strike here
and though there have peen no bellig'
eront expressions from the union mer
The police regard the situation as one
demanding alertness and a ponce
iorce sufficient to cope with emer'
gencies.
Several police officials expressed
lhe fear that the arrival of the Me
Namaras and McManigal might b.
made the signal for preciptating tht
long threatened general strike foi
uhlonizing Los Angeles.
such a strike, coming before OF
curing the trial of the accused con
splrators, would compieate matters
ana create a dangerous condition.
such fears on the part of the police
are unfounded. According TO state
