McSween store, were totally destroyed
by flames, Friday and Newport's fire

longing TO Jim smith were saved. A
third house located about forty feet

The flames were discovered about
noon. having originated near the ffue.
The fire wagon was sent TO the scene,
being hauled by a drayman, but it did
not get there until the two houses
were beyond redemption. Hose was
attached to nearby plug and good
heavy stream was secured and this
stream played on the ruins until the
fire had been eXtinguished.

CONFESSION
+ HALTS TRIAL
Labor World Shocked by Los
Angeles Developments.
M'NAMARAS' PLEAD GUILTY
Planted the Dynamite Which
Blew Up the Building Of the
Los Angeles Times and Caused
the Death Of Twenty-one EN-
ployes Of That Paper.

After dragging along tor weeks,
while endealogimg to secure a jury.
and while sensations were being ex-
posed in the arrest Of detectives on the
charge of bribary, the great labor trial,
that Of the Mcnamara brothers at Los
Angeles forthe blowing up of the Times
building which occasioned the death
of p persons in the building Of the
Los Angeles paper, came to a sudden
halt when the Mcnamara brothers
pleaded guilty, one to the blowing up
of the Times building and the other to
the blowing the Llleweilyn Iron works
at Los Angeles, in which no lives
were lost.
The confession created the greatest
sensation ever known in organized
labor circles. The labor men of the en-
tire country had been imposed upon
and upon the belief that the men were
innocent and had been made the vic.
tins of some sort of plat, these labor
men raised defense fund OF over $780,

900 and had more in sight and the con-
fession of guilt on the very eve Of the
trial, after that money had mostly
been expended, has created such stir
that labor bodies throughout the
United States have taken action, some
demanding that the two men who con-
fessed be not given mere life sentences
but that death should be the penalty
of their crime.
BY some it is said that the new in
venlion of Detective Burns whereby
he can attach wire to the window
sill of cell, and in all adjoining room
take down every word of a converse
tion which takes place in the cell Is
said to have given the prosecution SO
much information that the confession
of the two men, John j. and James
b. Mcnamara was all that could save
a great exposure, and Subsequent de-
Neiopments do not seem to give much
hope that the great exposure has been
prey ented as il is declared that the
prosecution he's other labor leaders un-
,, der surveillance and that while the
two men are uuder sentence, that the
ends of justice are not yet satisfied and
that more prosecutions will follow.

the distribution of copies of local
newspaper which featured news of a
mass meeting at which Representa-
tives Littleton and Young were attack
ed by Henry B. Martin, Of socalled
American Antitrust league.

Falls Down Concrete Steps at
NJ. E. Church, South.
CHEEK BONE FRACTURED
Postmistress of Newport Meets
With "a Most Unfortunate Ac-
cident, the Bone Being Broken
at Such a Place Where Surgery
is Uncertain.

place, was seriously injured Monday
night as the result # the result OF a
fall on the concrete paving at the NJ.
+. Church, South. Her cheek bone
was fractured, and in such a manner
that little assistance can be given from
surgery, so it is said. The Molar bone
is fractured on the right cheek, the
bone being driven slightly over the
eve and in order to reduce the fracture
it would require an operation, which
would leave scar from the point Of
the nose entirely across the cheek, and
then it is stated that there is no assur-
ance that such an operation would be
a success.
Mrs. Lee, accompanied by Mrs. II.
w. Huff was leaving the church on
the Peck avenue side, and as they APP
preached the series of steps on the con-
crete paving, the heel Of Mrs. Huffs
shoe caught on one cf the steps, she
stumbled, and Mrs. Lee who was hold
ing her hand tried to balance her COM
panion, but the weight was too much
and both were precipiated to the
ground, Mrs. Lee pitching forward
headforemost, landing directly on her
cheek bone against the edge OF the bot
tom step.
Friends saw the fall but were unable
to seach the steps in time to prevent
theaccident. IL was realized at once
that Mrs. Lee was seriously hurt, and
a carriage was borrowed and she was
hurridly taken to her home on Main
Street, being attended by DR.. K. t.
Smith. .
