City, were arrested today as a result
OF federal dynamite plot investiga
ton.
The indictments against the three

8. district Judge. 1t is understood that
the federal grand jury has returned
six other indictments. that are being
kept secret.
Foreman Grihiths announcement
that the grand jury had found indict-
ments In the dynamite case caused
G"nsation on the court. The three in
dicted men had been summoned to
appear as witnesses before the jury
and had been swcated day after day.
WORK NEARS END.
INDIANAPOLIS. Dec. 3O-The be-
lief that the federal grand jury inves-
tlgating the dynamite conspiracy had
practically concluded the principal
portion of the work was strengthened
today by the news that prosecutor
Eredericks il enroute to Indianapolis
with McManigal's original confession.
and that McManigal would not be
brought here.
Detective Burns statement daring
any guilty parties to attempt escape
WAS also confirmatory of the above
statement.
The belief prevails that indictments
may come sooner than heretofore
looked for.

NEW YORK GAY.

NEW YORK. Dec. 3O.-Judging
from the advance engagements of ta-
bles in all the prominent hotels and
restaurants of the city and other ex-
tensive preparations the celebration
of New Years eve this year will be
gayer and upon a larger scale than
ever before. AS New Years eve falls
upon Sunday this year the character
of the celebration will undoubtedly be
somewhat less boisterous and the clos
ing law will be enforced as much as
possible against the saloons. but the
streets of Manhattan will be crowded
as ever on New ears eve and the
noise just as deafening. The hotels
and restaurants in the central district
are not affected by the closing rule and
will be the scene Of unusually gay and
festive social gatherings.

QUIET IN CHICAGO.


CHICAGO, Dec. 3O.-The fact that
New Years eve falls upon a Sunday
this year will probably have the effect
of putting slight damper upon the
celebration of the closing night of the
year. Owing to the recent shake-ups
in the police department and the
strong sentiment among the better
classes against the scenes of rowdy-
ism which in former years constituted
SO disgraceful a feature in the popular
observance of New Years eve, Chief
of Police McWeeny has announced
his determination to suppress as much
as possible all excesses of boisterous-
ness that would have tendency to
disturb the Sabbath peace. The cele-
brations in the hotels and big cafes
will also be carefully watched to put a
prompt stop to any exhuberance of
spirit displayed by the midnight rev.
elers awaiting the advent of the New
Year.

ATLANTA. March 25.-It was while
Billy Hamilton, the former king of
baserunners and now scout for the Bos-
ton Nationals, was watching the Ma
tionals working out at Ponce de Leon
Park that Jimmy McAleer said to him:
Watch the next pitcher, Bill. If you
like the looks of him, perhaps I can fix
up a deal with you for him. He's a
highlander, and the Boston club might
be able to use him. I'm not stuck on
his movements, myself. He seems all
tied up
Dixie Walker was working at the
time, and Hamilton waited till he left
the box. Then in came the strike-out

turn on the slab. -"

Jimmy McAleer and he talked couple
of hours about those old days when
they fought each other. The talk swung
around to the Cleveland club, of which
McAleer was member, and Hamilton
said:

1t seems but a short time ago when
Buck Freeman, the old Washington
player, was hammering out home runs
for the Boston club. Still, the best the
former star could obtain for the coming
season is a managerial job in the Sus-
quehanna League.
In the days Of the National League
here Freeman made his reputation as a
home-run slugger by polling the ball into
the right field bleachers in old National
Park on an average of about every 9TH

found Bucks" weak spot, and from
then on he lost his cunning as four

him. Conway has the physique 10

coming faster every day. At the bat
he is meeting the ball savagely, though
hitting in poor luck.
Manager NcAleer is undecided be-
tween these youngsters, both of whom
look very good and worthy of trial.
Practice Is Postponed.
