 MAKE N|CKELS

Chicago, May 5.-(Special. )--Counter- felting nickels at cost of 25 cents each is an industry in Chicago which the gov ernment secret service has kindly stopped for which Andrew Barto, the accused man. may well be glad. According to the testimony of Capt. T. l. Porter. head of the secret service, it required an hour and a half of time to make three lead nickels. At this rate each nickel would have cost a quarter. yet he either had rosy dreams of fortune by disposing of them at ? cents each in bulk or he was a man so determined on being crooked that he would rather lose money at it than be honest. The counterfeiting outfit con- sisted of a heavy stamping machine. bellows, forge, stamping press and number of devices for polishing and trim ming the coins. all very workmanllSe and successful, but expensive in the matter of time. ITO make the coin," Captain Por- ter testified, "Barto first had to cut the nckels from a sheet of lead and then polish the edges for fullY. To minutes by hand. Then he put th~b unfinished piece on the mold and set iF~under heavy weight, which he lifted to the ceiling of his den With a hand windlass until he released at catch and dropped the weight on the steel die. If the weight hit ao- curately the bogus coin was stamped, but he spoiled three out of five'

Three times did the giant Californian take the count of nine and after each knockdown The saved himself from an immediate knock out by clinching his opponent and hold ing on to gain strength
 When the knockout finally came, a minute before the fight was scheduled to end Kaufman was a bloody and pit fable sight Blood streamed from his left eye, which was closed in the third round, and his. mouth His face was mass of bruises. Other than badly swollen face, due to Kaufman's left Jabs, Flynn was apparently unhurt.
 Flynn fought his usual bulldog battle. He rushed Kaufman at every opportuni- ty. With lowered head the former fire man would charge his taller and heavier opponent. swinging rights and lefts, which usually went home to Kaufman s head. Flynn used his left most frequently. He landed at least twenty hard blows with this hand alone Kaufman was unable to ward off Flynns blows when once he started a rush.

Peep in a Swedish Home

 Skansen is on hilly portion of the Djurgarten, one ofthe islands upon which Stockholm is built. which help to make it. perhaps, the most beautiful of mod ern cities. The Djurgarten is a large, wooded island. once a royal deer park, the drives and footpaths of which are constantly enjoyed by the Stockholmer. The highest part, that nearest the city. has been bought for use as an open-air department of the Northern Museum.
 We wandered along through birch woods and took time to visit one moro of the houses-a prosperous farmers home Its timbers are hewn flat and are crosscut at the corners. it's interior is wainscoted and ceiled and on It's walls are decorations of painted Bible scenes. Hand-carved furniture stands about. hand-wrought linens and hangings and coverings of quaint and pretty designs make the house homelike, while table set out with various viands in facsimile gives the last touch of real life. Hand- beaten candlestcks spinning wheels and many utensils show how versatile in handicraft were the ancestors of the mod- ern Swede.
 After this we found Skansen growing more and more bewidering, for there were charcoal burners huts, with men at work in them; there were smokehouses, tarring furnaces, ancient mills, lumber mems camp and many other things H. frustrating the life and employments of the peasants There were huge cages full of birds; there were fenced In grounds where the many kinds of Swe- dish animal life found home.

'SLOSS COMM|SSARY |. DESTROYED BY FIRE

The commissary building used by the Sloss-Sheffield Steel and Iron company at their furnace at Twenty-eighth street and First avenue was totally destroyed by fire, which started from an unknown cause, about o'clock this morning. The loss is estimated at between $5000, and sS0o0
 The fire was not discovered until 1t had made good headway. Whistles at tho furnace and on locomotives standing in the yards at the Terminal station first an- nounced the blaze. When company No. 1 of the fire department arrived the build ing was totally enveloped in flames and as it was isolated from any other build ing in the immediate neighborhood, there was no general alarm turned in. There appeared no use in trying to save the building and company No. confined their efforts to keep the fire within it's present confines.
 c. V. Norris, super1tendent of the company, was called out of bed al his home at 407 Tuscaloosa avenue, West End by a reporter and informed of the fire He was greatly surprised, for it was the first word he had received of it. He said that IT the coflfnlssary Was d total loss the damage would amount to over $6000 MT. Norris said:
 q keep watchman at the building and cannot imagine how the fire obtained such a start. It probably caught from the hot-pot, which crosses close to the building many times every day"
 Watchman w. H. Lane said he be- lieved some s2e had set fire to the build ing and then cut the telephone wires. He said.
 'I used the telephone about 10 o'clock last night, but when I tried to call tho fire department a few hours later the phone was dead. I want to investigate this matter"
 The building was one-story frame and burned very rapidly. The flames lighted up many blocks about the Terminal sta- tion, and, famed by the strong wind from the east, they soon laid the building in ashes.

to shove Flynn away and make a long range battle of the affair. During two rounds, the first and fifth, the Californ- ian got the kind of battling he wanted, but then he found that his left jabs and right swings were not strong enough. to affect his sugging opponent.
 The result was never in doubt after the second round. Angry because Kauf- man had carried away the honors in the first round, Flynn rushed in at the tap of the gong in the second. and before the round was minute old Kaufman was groggy from right swing to the jaw.
 Every knockdown resulted from right swing to the jaw following a fusillade of rights and lefts to the head. 2 Kaufman took the count of nine in the third, ninth and tenth rounds. He was down for two seconds in the fourth, five in the seventh and seven and eight in the tenth.
 Twice during the tenth round Kauf- man was knocked through the ropes. Once. perplexed, Danny Shay, the referee, helped Kaufman back into the ring after the fighter had lain helpless for eight seconds
 Kaufman was out for fully five min utes after Flynn had been declared the winner. f.
 Flynn weighed 176 pounds and Kaufman so5. Flynn received $1750 and Kaufman 2250.'

Los Angeles, Cal, May 5.-John J. Me- Namara, secretary of the International Bridge and Structural Iron Workers as- sociation, was formally arraigned before Judge Walter Bordwell of the superior court on charges of murder and dyna miting, and his brother, James B. Mc- Namara. was arraigned on a charge of murder, all in connection with the ex- ploson which wrecked the Los Angeles Times building on October 1 last, and killed q men.
 Ortie McManigal, alleged to have made the confession duplicating the McNam- aras, was not arragned, and is not ex- pected to make any appearance in court until the trial begins The day for the McNamara brothers to plead was fixed for June 1.
 Accused with the brothers in the in- dictments were William Caplan, alleged to have been an assistant of James B. McNamara in the explosion, and four others, one a woman. who were masked by the names of "John Doe" Richard Roe" John Stiles and Jane Doe.'
 The accusation was followed by a list of the scores of the witnesses examined by the grand jurors in the weeks fol- lowing the Times disaster. and with the late addition of Ortie E. McManigal, the alleged confessed dynamiter. who ap- peared before the inqusitorlal body only yesterday.
 The district attorney said he would con- sent to the pleas being made June 19. T. +l,1 NtI, ,r,1; one of which charges John J. McNamara, Ortie E. McManigal, John Doe," John Stiles" and "Richard Roe" and Jane Doe with dynamiting the Llewellyn Iron Works last Christmas. The time for McNamara to plead to this charge also was fixed for June 1. Rappaport asked what had become of the indictments upon which the men were arrested, inquiring if they had been 'quashed, were pending or what?'
 Attorney Fredericks said they were on file in the court He declared he had no wish to arraign the men on them at present.
 Rappaport declared that John J. Me Namara had been taken from his home on the strength of these indictments and if they were to be used against the men the latter had right to be arraigned soon. MT. Fredericks said the old in- dictments would not be used between the date of arraignment and the time to plead
 Rappaport contended that there was at least one bailable charge-that accusing John J. McNamara of placing explosives at the Llewelyn Iron Works, and asked the court to fix ball. asa-4-aA
 The district attorney replied that as McNamara also was indicted for murder, it was useless to bring up the matter. Counsel for the defense informed the court he would not press the point at this time. but intimated that he would do so later.
 It was agreed finally that the court, the prosecuting attorney and counsel for the prisoners would confer over the mat ter next Tuesday morning.

 BREAK DEADLOCK

Denver, Col, May 5.--Caueus against caucus is the prominent feature of the Colorado senatorial situation today, the last but one on which the Legislature will. ballot for a successor to the late United States Senator Charles J. Hughes, Jr.
 In caucus called by the chairman of the joint democratic conference commit tee to meet in the house chamber to- night. followers of Mayor Robert w. Speer of Denver hope to find the key by which the senatorial deadlock may be ended.
 In the caucus called by those in charge of the campaign of former Gov. Alva Adams of Pueblo, to meet in the senate chamber at the same hour, the anti-Speer democrats hope to find the means to keep the deadlock unbroken.
 Fifty-one votes are necessary to elect senator. The democratic majority in the legislature numbers 66. Of these % have consistently supported speer, IS are claimed by the Adams forces and the rest are scattered in their allegiance.
 By getting enough members to attend their caucus the Adams forces hope to prevent legislative majority in the reg ular caucus and thus defeat it's purpose. Apparently the advantage Is with the Adams forces.
 If the Adams faction is successful final balloting for senator will commence at noon tomorrow and probably continus until midnight, the time set for the ad- journment of the legislature, although reports are current of projected deal between the Adams democrats and the 34 republicans, whereby the joint session shall be dissolved after the second bal lot tomorrow and Colorado left with a vacancy in the Senate for the next two years

 RECIPROCITY BILL

Ottawa, Ontario, May 5.-A bitter attack on the Fielding Knox reciprocity agree ment was made tonight by R. l.. Borden, opposition leader, in an address at din ner attended by all the conservative members of parliament and the premiers of two provinces.
 "The reciprocity proposals" he declared, "are the most mischievous and damnable that have ever been made to Canada"
 President Taft he said, recently com mended reciprocity to the American peo- pie on the ground that 1t would. prevent the establishment of a system of prefer ential trade throughout the British em- pre. That alone, he asserted, was suf- ficient to condemn the whole proposition in the minds of loyal Canadians and Brit ish subjects.
