not be got together in less than two
or three years.

If any harm results 1t will fall upon

everyone to keep cool, with disposi.
tion to patiently await results, know
ing that in the end justice will be

the midst of animated discussion In
the Swami's room. They were the
scholar himself and his up-to-date
FRIEND Prince Kananda The prince
had arrived In the gloom-enshrouded
house only a few minutes before. He
had uttered several short, sharp SEN
tences big with interest that had
stirred the Swami from the repose
usual to the Oriental priest 1t was
evident that Kananada expected re-
sponsive remark from his friend, and
that the Swami, feeling the obligation,
was weighing his words before utter
ance.
Nothing of the slightest interest to
us was found" said Kananda, evident
ly in repetition. He had seen a skep-
tical expression spread over the
Swamrs bronze face, and anticipated
an inquiry.
THE search was thorough" asked
the scholar.
MY dear old chap" said the Prince,
"is it likely. we would go to such ex-
traordinary lengths without being
most painstaking In that respect? A
speck Of diamond dust could not have
escaped u.s."
A slow smile cleaned through the
mask that comprised the scholars
features. Mock Difference colored his
manner as. taking the mouthpiece Of

DARROW VISITS McNAMARAS.
Attorney in Dynamite Case Begins Work for Defendants at Los
 Angeles

Los Angeles, Cal, May 26-Clarence Darrow of Chicago, chief counsel for the McNamara brothers. alleged dyna- mlters, arrived here yesterday and hurried to the county jail to see his clients. He spent over an hour with them. He went there with Job Harri- man, his associate in the defense of the McNamaras, who accompanied him from San Francisco.
 From the prison Darrow and Har- riman went to the Higgins building, where the large offices are fitted up for the use of Darrow and Leo M. Rappaport, the Minneapolis lawyer, who is supposed to be one of the att torneys for the McNamaras.
 Darrow plunged into the case at once. He was soon deep in the trans cript of the Grand Jury testimony on which the indictments for murder, were returned against the McNamaras and copies of which were handed to the brothers at the time of their ar raignment.
