squad of police.
Searched for More Evidence.
Detective Burns. assisted by four of
his operatives and several detectives
from Indianapolis, entered the rooms of
the association in search of correspond
ence that might implicate Mcnamara
more deeply in the charges
President Ryan protested against the
presence OF the officers in the room
superintendent of Police Hyland read
a search warrant but this document of
the court did not satisfy the iron work
ers' president: Burns then lifted the
top of Mcnamara s desk and began
searching large piles of correspondence.
While the search of the room was be-
ing conducted, the members of the ex.
ecutive board, who were waiting in an
other room, walked about nervously and
asked the police concerning the cause
of their detention.
Refused to Believe Report.
More than an hour elapsed after Nc
Namara had been taken from the city
pelOit uis al the meet
ing were aware that he had been taken
from Indianapolis. When told he had
been arrested as being responsible for
the dvnamiting Of the Times building
and Llewellyn foundry in Los Angeles
they gasped with astonishment, declar
ing they could not believe the report ts
be true.
Their surprise was greatly increased
when they began to plan TO procure
their friend S release and were told he
had been taken from the city.
Immediately after the offices of the
union were searched Detective Burns
and a squad of his men went 10 the
barn west of Indianapolis, where the
explosives were unearthed. The detec-
tives then returned TO the city, when
a search in the basement of. the union
headquarters revealed more explosives.
Theory Of President Ryan.
President Ryan said he had been con-
nected with labor unions several years
and had never beard of case similar
to the one charged against Mcnamara.
He said he had known of cases where

OF organized labor and that If eX-
plosives were found tonight they must
have been placed by enemies of the
union.

the offices Of the union are located. said

JUNIOR LAW TEAM
 DEFEATS FRESHMEN

University, February 7.-(Specia1)- In d double header basketballs game yesterday the Junior Law team de- feated the Freshmen 16 to g. and the Sophomores swamped the Junior academic by a score of 21 to 9. The result of these games leaves only four more to be played, one for the Fresh men who are still to play the Seniors and three for the Lawyers, who will have to meet the Sophomores. the Juniors and the Seniors. There Is much rivalry between the Lawyers and the Sophomores on account of the two tie games in football, and the basketball game between these two is looked for ward to as a classy affair.
 Coach bowman has offered a trophy cup to the class making the mos, points irs\ class athletics. So far the SophomorNs are leading in the race. but as the baseball games and the track meet are still to be pulled off there is some guessing as to who will come out on top.

HIGH SCHOOL TO
 MEET LOUISIANA

The varsity team of the High school was run through little practice yester- day in order to take out few of the kinks sustained in the Auburn game The players are pretty well bruised up after their hard struggle last Saturday, but with daily workouts they will no doubt round into shape in good style for their hard game with the big and husky Lou isiana State university team on Saturday afternoon.
 Tickets are selling fast for this game and it is expected that even a larger crowd than the one which attended the Auburn contest last Saturday will be on hand. At least the High school team will need all the support 1t can get from the side lines if 1t is to keep up it's record of victories and come put of the battle with a clean slate. The students at the High school have gone basketball crazy and after the victory over Auburn are willing to follow the wearers of the crimson and white anywhere.

ATHLETIC CLUB
 PLAYS LOUISIANA

The boys from Louisiana who made such hit in football circles will be here Thursday to try their hand at basket hall. They will no doubt strike a snag, however when they go up against the strong team from the Athletic club, as Mr. Messer's squad is feeling stronger every day, and the locals hope to be able to show the visitors few things in basketball before the game is over.
 The club boys went through the Van derbilt game without a scratch, and are in fine shape to play the best game of their lives when they clash with Baton Rouge crowd. They are determined. too that 1t will not be necessary to play a whole half before they become warmed ,p as was the case in the Auburn and Vanderbilt games, and may be counted on to do as much scoring in the first as in the second half.
 The passing and team work of the club boys in the second halves of the Auburn and vanderbilt games was well-nigh per- feet, and one who has never seen them in action would be surprised at the high state of perfection which has been att tained. Hard and faithful training and the able coaching of Mr. Messer is re- sponsible for this, and, they certainly de- serve to have a clean slate on the home floor at the end of the season.
 The single defeat registered against them this season was at the hands of the Atlanta Athletic club by score of 19 to r in Atlanta. The club officials are now negotiating for another game in Att lanta, and probably another here with thes Atlanta club, and in the event they are successful in arranging these games it is almost certain that the locals will be able to wipe out the one blot upon their otherwise clean record

In the regular weekly boys class cham pionship series, held at the High school yesterday afternoon, the Seniors liter ally annihilated the Juniors by the score of 30 to G. while the Freshmen defeated the Sophomores in a close and dinterestins game by the score of Il to '. So far the Seniors have not lost game, but if the Freshmen continue to improve as much as they have during the past few weeks they can be depended upon to push their older opponents some.
 This afternoon the girls class game will be played and a large and enthusi- astic crowd is expected to attend. The Junior and Senior teams. which are tied in the girls league for first place, are slated to meet. and without doubt it will be one of the classiest battles of the season.
