Baltimore, Md, May 40 much

continuance of International conflict,
in the address Of Edwin CHM, of Bos-

congress. CHM made the unique sug-
gestion that an international army be
organized, similar to that which put
down tho Boxer uprising in China.

wife - Verne Dutton Finds Body
Hanging 10 Rarter In Barn.

With no apparent reason for dcsir-
Ing 60 end his life, Henry Trumblc
aged So, well-to-do farmer. living
two and onc-half miles south OF
Agosta, on the CUTLERY and Brown
pike, committed suicide about noon
today by hanging himself in the barn
on his farm.
Trumble was discovered by Verne
Dutton who found his lifeless body
held by rope which was suspended
TO a raftcr i'm the barn. He had been
dead at least an hour when found.
Dutton cut the 'body down and
summoned medical assistance but il
was too late to revive the suicide.
Trumblc had NsB south of Agosta
for over 40 years and was very well
known. His rash act, seemingly COM
mitted without any reason therefore,
has stunned a wide circle of friends
and acquaintances. Neighbors and
friends say that nothing IN his ac-
-tions for the past few days would IN
dicate that his mind had been affect
cd or that he was worrying for any
cause.
1t was stated, however, that the
death OF his wife in February was Il
great grief 20 him and that may have
caused him to die by his own hand.
Trumblc had hcen living alone on
his farm. lie was seen last about
two hours before his body was found.
No arrangements have been made
for this funeral.

ty-two Indictments were returned by
the grand Jury at noon today Twen-
ty-onc believed to be directed against
John and james Mcnamara, refer
to the Los Angeles Times explosion.
The twcnty-second referred to the
Llewellyn Iron works explosion and
is believed to be directed against Or
tic McManlgal. The names of the
persons named in the affidavits were
not formally announced, however.
Los Angeles. Calf. May John
and James McNamaro will be ar
ralgncd this afternoon, according to
District Attorney Fredciicks, follow
ing the voting of twenty-one inditt-
ments by the grand jury at secret
session last night.
Nineteen Of these arc directed
against the two McNamaras and
make charges connected with the dy-
namiting OF the Los Angeles Times
The other two are against Ortie Me-
Manigal in connection with the Lie
wellyn Iron works dynamitihg. w
The true bills will not be reported
I'm court this afternoon, according to
tho district attorney, when the de-
tcndants will be arraigned.
McMangal and other witnesses
wore smuggled into the grand jury
room last night and hastily testified.
Attorney Rappaport. counsel for the
McNamaras. was not Informed of the
situation until late at night
1T is reported that several wilt
nesses went before the grand jury
and positively identified James Nc
Namara as James Bryce.
Los Angeles. calf, May "a mul-
tidude Of alibis will be tho defense
Of James Mcnamara when he is tried
on the charge OF blowing up the Los
Angeles Times building and causing
the death of twenty-one persons.
The attorneys for the defense are
bending every effort to show that II
would have been impossible foi
| James Mcnamara to have been with
in twelve hours ride of the Times
office when 1t was blown up. The
Burns detectives, on the other hand
are endcavoring TO secure evidence
TO prove the contrary. They are ,lVeer
ing n close watch, on Witnesses sup
posed to have seen McNanmra on
the night of the explosion. or i'm
mediately prior TO the explosion The
nineteen Indictments against the Nc
Namaras, reported voted by the grand
jury last night, viii probably be re-
ported this afternoon. One i1dic''
mcnt charging muder' was voted fol
each Of the nineteen Times explos-
ion victims, not counting the two
victims who were killed By jumping
from windows.
ortie McManJ;al's Testimony be-
fore the grand jury on which the
new indictments are based, is said
to have been entirely voluntary. This
leads TO a general belief that Me-
Manigal Will plead guilty whicl
would not bar hin from testifyinl
against the McNamaras.

GIRL IS GIVEN $3.50.
Miss Minnie Upton Was Injured by
FAN on Walk.

Minnie Upton, pretty young girl,
was given $3.50 by the city this morn
ing as damages, resulting from fall
she received year ago on Euclid ave-
rue between Quincy and Monroe
streets.
Miss Upton had planned to take the
case to the courts and demand Il iudS-
rnert OF nearly $4,000. Rather than
go to the expense of court proceed
ings and a possibility of losing the
case, the city attempted settlement
out of court
An agreement was reached this
morning and the city gave a check for
$3.50.
1t seems that Miss Upton. who
worked at the Mcintyre factory, was
running to catch a car on Euclid ave
nue. early one morning in October last
year. She stepped into hole in the
sidewalk made by a driver who had
run his wagon over the walk in a place
where a water service had settled the
earth beneath the bricks.
Her shoulder was wrenched, her
arm broken and she was forced to
abandon her work for several weeks.

FIRST LIQUOR CASE ON TRIAL.
Kathryn TasselI Is Defendant in Dis
trict Court.

The first liquor case tried at this
term of the district court will be sub
mitted TO jury in the district court
this afternoon. when the state will ask
the conviction of Kathryn Tassen on
ten separate counts. Some of the
states important witnesses suffered a
lapse of memory on the witness stand
and it is hardly probable that the
woman Will be convicted on all of the
counts in the information
Abraham Lincoln Stratton. dairy
man, who lives east of town. was one
of the star performers for the state.
But STATIONS memory was bad Then
the county attorney took Stratton to
his private office and rehearsed his
evidence at the recent inquisition The
only benefit from this coaching was
that the milkman returned to the
stand and repudiated the testimony of
two months ago.
Records were introduced to show
that Mrs. Tassell is the owner of one
OF the fifteen federal stamps in To-
peka- Under the decisions of the sI1-
preme court, the ownership of these
stamps is conclusive evidence of the
maintenance of a nuisance
Many of the liquor cases pending in
the district court have been compro-
missed by the county attorney and

sessed its members to take care of all

to place in city bonds.

his latest trouble with examiners in
the bank commissioners department
and several hundred dollars in unpaid
vouchers are lying on his desk. 1t IS
understood that the banking depart
ment will go to the supreme court to
get a mandamus to compel the auditor
to o. K. the expense accounts of the
examiners. Davis is willing and ready
to test the matter in the courts and
has the backing of the attorney gem
era1 in his decision.
The auditor takes the position that
he does not absolutely refuse to o. K.
the accounts. but he stands on the
state law that gives him some discre-
ton in the matter of demanding re-
ceipts or explanations as to why the
receipts are lacking.
