CONSERVATION ON COAST.

Los Angeles, Cal, Dec. 4 4.--"Every
man, high or low, connected with the
Los Angeles Times dynamiting case,
and those in other states, will be
brought to justice"
This statement by Detective w. j.
Burns stirred Pacific coast labor
unionists whose names have been men
toned in connection with the outrage.
Frantic kilograms were received this
morning and last night from San
Francisco, where Mayor McCarty and
Olaf Tviethoe, union labor leaders,
have been watching the Mcnamara
case.
McManigal's confession, made pub
lie several weeks ago, and on which
the prosecution was largely based,
mentioned both Mccarthy and Tviet-
moe as having knowledge of the work
in hand.

W. |. DOUGLAS TRUST PLAN
Manufacturer Thinks Government
Should obtain Publicity by
License System.

Large business organizations nave
come to stay We cannot go back to
old conditions. We must meet world
competition. Large concerns can pro-
duce goods at lower cost than small
ones. Germany favors large corpora
tions. The method of the present ma
tional administration is to dissolve
the great organizations and make
them smaller, which is a backward
step, There should be no limit to a
corporation doing large and legiti'
mate business, such as would be pos
sible under the licensing plan which
favor, writes w. L. Douglas, former
governor of Massachusetts, in the
Boston Herald.
Prejudices against corporations
merely because they are big, perhaps,
must be done away with. They give
labor better returns. They cheaper
product and thus benefit the consm-
er. They give opportunities to small
investors who get returns otherwise
unattainable. They employ able
young men who have no capital at
all, but who receive handsome sal
aries for their ability and service.
In place of the Sherman law 1t Is
my opinion there should be a depart
ment at Washington to grant licenses
to all manufacturers and corporations
in this country who do an interstate
commerce business
The law should be made so clear
plain and definite that 1t could not be
misunderstood. 1t should require all
capital to be paid in full, Semi-yearly
statements should be given to the
public and certified by a public ac'
countant. There should be a board
of examiners in each state to look aft
er these corporations just as our ma
tional banks are watched by the ma
tional government They should have
the right to enter the offices and eX'
anime the records of all the direc
torates of these companies.

ALWAYS GENTLE IN REPR00F
General Lees Real Kindness of Heart
Made Manifest on Such
Occasions.

There are some new, or, least, un-
familiar stories of Robert E. Lee in
Gamaliel Bradford, Jr.'s articles on
Lee After the War" in the South At
lantic Quarterly. Lees methods of re-
proof were peculiar to him. A stu
dent was once called to account for
absence. "Mr. NJ, l am glad to see
you better" Lee said to him, smiling.
But, general, l have not been sick"
'Then / am glad you have better news
from home" But, general, l have
had no bad news" "Ah, | took 1t for
granted that nothing less than sick
ness or distressing news from home
could have kept you from your duty"
In the same vein was his remark to
a student who had been late for pray
ers. Mr. Page, will you kindly give
my compliments to Miss and ask
her if she will please have breakfast a
little earlier for you?" To negligent
student he said: How is your moth
er? / am sure you must be devoted
to her; you are so careful of the
health of her SON."
Summoned to Lees office, lad was
told that only patience and industry
would save him from failure in col
lege and in life. But, general, you
failed" the student replied, with
sophomore inaptitude. Il hope that
you may be more fortunate than |,
was the quiet answer.

TRIAL GOES "BEYOND lNDlANAP.
OILS" DECLARES THE DE.
TECTlVE.
CONFESSION OF M'NAMARAS
DOESN'T RELEASE OTHERS
Arrests Are Planned-kaplan and
Schmidt to Be Taken Into Gus
tody in Dynamiting Case
Prosecution to Go On.

Chicago, Dec. 4 4.-Detective William
Burns, who gathered the evidence
against the Mcnamara brothers in con-
nection with the Los Angeles dynamit-
ing, tonight announced that the ar
rests of Milton A. Schmidt and Davis
NJ. Kaplan, alleged accomplices of j..
b. Mcnamara, would be made not long
after a forthcoming visit tC Los An
geles.
He added that sensational disclo'
sures undoubtedly would follow thls
visit, which he will make in about a
week. or after he has made trip to
New York on another case. Just what
future prosecution or additional ar
rests would be made he declined to
intimate, but he would not deny that
the trial went beyond Indianapolis. p"
Where Kaplan and Schmidt are is
not known, but Burns saying that the
McNamaras knew where the two were
living added that you won't have to
wait long now before they are taken
in," and he added that inasmuch as
Chicago newspapers covered the ter
ritory between the Rockies and the
Appalachian ranges, the Chicago news
papers probably will be the first to
print the news. This is his first intl-
nation that the men were not. as first
reported, under surveillance by his
opearti"es on the Pacific coast.
There are others in this case that
are just as guilty as either of the Nc
Namara brothers." he said 81 do not
think that the pleas of guilty in the
case of either man should stop the
prosecution of the case and the search
fer others implicated in the plot.
I'VE will soon have Dave Kaplan
and NJ. A. Schmidt alias 'Schmidty,
also wanted in connection with the
blowing up of the Times building, but
there are still several others. 1t would
be injudicious for me to say how many
or the nature of their position in or
ganized labor, but | will say there are
other prominent men mixed up in this
affair, and | expect to keep working
until every last one of them is run
down and brought to justice.
81 think this case shows to posi-
tive certainty the foolishness of the
effort on the part of any man to put
himself above the power of the law
This has not been fight against Or
ganized labor, as many have said, but
rather an expose of the worst part OF
unionism and the part that should be
removed by the better element.
"No one but me knows where he is,
said the detective, land / can't say
now what use will be made of his in
formation. He may testify in Indian
apolis December 19, but it is in the
coast cases his information is most
valuable

CUTICURA OINTMENT HEALED
BAD SORE ON LIMB

Some time ago l was coming up
some steps when the board crushed
under me like an egg shell, and my
right limb went through to the knee,
and scraped he flesh off the bone
just inside and below the knee. 1
neglected it for day or two, then it
began to hurt me pretty badly. l put
balsam fir on to draw out the poison,
but when l had used it a week. it hurt
so badly that changed to --- oint-
ment. That made it smart and burn
so badly that l couldn't use it any
after / was hurt.
"Then began to use Cuticura Oint-
ment for the S, e. 1t stopped hurting
Immediately and began healing right
away. 1t was a bad-looking sore be-
fore Cuticura Ointment healed it, and
/ suffered so l couldn't sleep from two
days after l fell until began using
Cuticura Ointment.
"Cuticura Soap is the best soap
ever saw. l have used all kinds Of
soap for washing my face, and always
it would leave my face smarting. I
had to keep lotion to stop the smart,
no matter how expensive a soap l
used. l find at last in Cuticura Soap
soap that will clean my face and
leave no smarting, and l do not have
to use any lotion or anything else to
ease il. / believe Cuticura Soap is the
best soap made" (Signed) Mrs. NJ.

ita, Kan, May s, 1911. Although
Cuticura Soap and Ointment are sold
by druggists and dealers everywhere,

SIeuth Guarded Jewels.

Pity the poor duchess of Marlbor-
ough, who has been driven to insomnia
through worry over her jewels. She
has hired six former Scotland Yard de-
tectives to camp at Sunderland house,
Mayfair three by day and three by
night, and guard her gems. The out
lay for this is something more than
$4,000 annually. She has spent many
thousands in equipping her mansion
with all the latest wrinkles in burglar
alarm and safety devices, but she
considers the money that buys her
peace of mind is an investment well
made.

WORKS WITHOUT FAITH
Faith Came After the Works Had Laid

A Bay State belle talks thus about
coffee:
"While a coffee drinker | was suf-
ferer from indigestion and intensely
painful nervous headaches, from child
hood.
Seven years ago my health gave

the exertion of walking. if only few
feet, made it necessary for me to lie
down. My friends thought 1 was
marked for consumption-weak, thin
and pale.
81 realized the danger l was in and
tried faithfully to get relief from med
icines, till, at last. after having en-
ployed all kinds of drugs, the doctor
acknowledged that he did not believe
1t was in his power to cure me.
while in this condition a friend in
duced me to quit coffee and try Post
um, and | did so without the least
hope that 1t would do me any good.

properly made l found it was a most
delicious and refreshing beverage.

I'm a months time l began to i'm

ton ceased to trouble me, and my
