BARROW TO DEFEND
BOMB SUSPECTS
Will Re Chief Counsel for the Mchan
aras-Defense Objects to
Judge.

Los Angeles, Cal - 1t was oel'
initely announced here that Gar;
ence barrow of Chicago will be chlei
counsel for the Mcnamara orotners'
accused of completely in the blowing
up of the Times building in October
last. This was agreed upon at a con-
ference between Attorney Lee Kappa
port of indianapolis and the accused
men.
Rappaport stated that Mr. Darrow
would not come here until after the
arraignment of the two prisoners and
probably not until date for trial mas
been set.
District Attorney Fredericks set at
rest the rumors that 100000 would
be used in the prosecution of the two
McNamaras The county board OF
supervisors set aside fund of $4,000
and it is believed by the district at
torney that this amount will be entire
ly sufficient for the use of the prose
cution.
1t is understood that the defense
will make objection to Judge Bord-
well trying the case upon the ground
that he summoned the special grand
jury which returned the indictments.
Attorney Rappaport, who is the
general counsel for the International
Association of Structural Iron and
Bridge Workers, visited the county
Jail and for two hours conferred with
]. j. and J. B. Mcnamara. He made
no effort to see McManigal and an
nounced that he would make no eff
fort to see the alleged informer, and
that neither he nor Mr. Darrow would
defend McManigal
The first legal battle in the case
will occur shortly after the prisoners
are arraigned. At that time 1t is likely
that the defense will move to quash
the Indictment and that an attack will
be made upon the grand jury which
issued the indictments This fight will
precede the date for pleading.

BaIzac.

Balzac dreamed of Eugene Grandet
and Ursule Mirouet in the mean
house of mean aspect where Doctor
Cabanes lectures. He used to shut
the window shutters to exclude eX-
ternal sounds and objects, drink
coffee from the tin pot and coarse
delft cup yonder and give himself
over to his imagination. From sun
down to sunrise no sound could be
heard save the scratching of pen on
paper. He more frequently than not
worked thus for eighteen out of the
twenty-four hours. This painter of
women knew very little about them,
but his gift of divination and his de-
ductive power served him in good
stead. No other author ever scrutin-
lied their hearts as did this hermit
or brought to light with the same
truthfulness the treasures Of delicate
wealth, of unselfish devotion and Of
delicate sentiment wrapped up in
them.-Paris Letter to London

SONS OF REVOLUTION CONVENE.
Kentucky Members Entertain National
Society at Louisville.

Louisville, KY. After informal
meetings and religious services the
delegates to the semi-annual congress
Of the National Society of the Sons of
the American revolution held their
first formal session in the free library.
The national society is meeting in
Louisville at the invitation of the Ken
lucky society, the members of which
have planned an elaborate program of
social events for the delegates and
the ladies who accompany them. One
of the important business propositions
that will occupy the attention of the
congress is the proper marking
of the graves of the signers of the
Declaration of independence. An
other is the establishment of the Del
aware National Park near Trenton, to
commemorate the famous crossing of
the Delaware by Washington.

FARMER HELD AS
SLAYER OF THREE
Body of Missing Hired Man Found
Others Sought-Own Son Is
Chief Accuser.

Fowler, Ind.-Rivaling in many de-
tails the notorious Guinness case at
Laporte, year-old murder was dis
closed here, and John w. Poole, a
wealthy farmer, is under arrest
charged with the crime.
Emory Poole, the eighteen-year-old
son of the accused farmer, discovered
the dismembered body of Joseph KEN
per, farm hand, who disappeared
months ago, and is leading the search
for the bodies of two other farm
hands, Charles Clark and Charles
Mack, who disappeared mysteriously
about two years ago.
Poole's wealth is variousIy esti-
mated at from $4,000 to $4,000 I'm
til last Saturday he lived with his
wife, son and daughter at his farm,
about four miles southeast of Fowler.
At the time Kemper disappeared
he had gone hunting with young Poole,
who is his fathers accuser. Kemper
returned to the farm ahead of the
boy, and when the latter arrived he
found his father in state of high ex-
element and spattered with blood.
The following day the elder Poole
is declared to have butchered two
hogs in the kitchen, scattering more
blood around the place. The son sus-
pected Poole, and about a month ago
caused his arrest, fearing that he
would murder members of his fam
lily.
Failure to find the body caused his
release because proof of Kemper's
death was lacking, and the son has
been searching for the body ever
since. He found it in a field half a
mile from the house and the offal
from the hogs killed in the kitchen
was found on top of the body.
About fifteen years ago Poole shot
another farmer, named Quigley, but
escaped the penitentiary by being de-
clared insane The son notified Sher-
iff Shackleton and the latter, accom-
panied by Town Marshal John Bow
man, arrested Poole near his other
farm at Rensselaer,. Mrs Poole and
the daughter, Grace, have lived in ter
ror of the father.
Poole is being closely guarded in
the Jail here because of repeated
threats of lynching.

MoRMoNs GUST A PoLYeAMIsT
Excommunicate John w. Taylor as an
Answer to Criticisms.

Salt Lake City Announcement
was made by the council of the
twelve apostles of the Mormon church
that John w. Taylor has been excom-
municated for INSTRUMENTATION to the
government and discipline of the
church"
This action is regarded here as an
answer to the protests against the
Mormon propaganda now being made
in England.
Taylor, with Matthias F. Cowley,
was ousted as an apostle of the church
in 1906 for polygamy. President 10
seph F. Smith testified then at the
Smoot hearings that Taylor and Cow
ley each contracted new plural mar
riages.
The present action is said to have
resulted from Taylor's refusal to dis.
avow the practice of polygamy

K6HALA GETTING
OUT AVA CROP

Kohala Midget:-We learn that ar
rangoments have been made to market
the hundreds of tons Of ava root, now
unutilized, in ! the mountain about
Awini. The chief value of ava, here
tofore, has been for making a ferment'
ed intoxicating drink, of which the old
Hawaiians were quite fond before the
white mans "frewater' came to work
its DISCRIMINATING mischief.
C. M. Hudson OF Hilo has discovered
that ava root is worth $3.50 tons in
New York for medicinal purposes, and
he has made a contract with Ernest
Akina of Pololu to procure 1t for him.
Mr.. Akina offers the natives $135 ton
for the root, delivered at Mahukona,
whence 1t win be shipped TO Hilo and
thence to New York.
The regions whence the ava root will
come are inaccessible TO vehicles. 1t
must all be packed to POlolu over trails
on the backs of mules and horses. Some
Of these trails are very dangerous--
mere shelves on tho brink of pals a
thousand feet aud more down, sheer
and dizzy TO these trails the root
must be brought over foot trails on
