When He Will Enter Evangelistic
Work.

Manning, April 266.-Much to the
deep regret of the members Of the
Manning Baptist church, Rev. l.. A..
Cooper, the pastor. has resigned, the
resignation to take effect July l.
Rev. Cooper stated that his sspara-
ton from his flock occasioned him
profound sorrow, but he felt that he
could do better service in his Mas
ter's vineyard in evangelistc work
than as a pastor, as his ambition was
to go about spreading the teachings
of his faith to the multitude.
During Mr.. Cooper's stay he has
endeared himself to the members Of
his church as well as the people Of
different creeds and his coming de-
parture occasions great regret.

BOWER APOLOGIES TO GIRL.
Declares THAI Action Regarding Miss
Beers Was Due to misunderstanding
of Her Status.

Annapolis, Nd, April 24.-It was
learned today that Capt. j. M. Bow
yer. superintendent Of the naval acad-
emy, has forwarded to Miss Mary III.
Beers, daughter of Prof. Beers of
Yale, letter Of apology for the action
taken by one of the academy officers
who suggested to her midshipman es-
cort that, by reason Of her employ
ment, she should not be again invited
to an academy dance.
The letter was not made public,
but it is understood that Miss Beers
was assured that the action was due
entirely to a misunderstanding Of her
status.
In connection with the affair it may
be said of the body Of the midship-
men that they We're not in sympathy
with the attitude apparently assumed
by some Of the academy officers in
this matter. 1t is the frequently ex-
pressed opinion Of the cadets that a
midshipman has a right to bring any
respectable woman to a dance. no
matter what her employment or stat.
us may be.

ALLEGED DYNAMITERS PLACED
IN CELLS.
Fight for and Against McNamaras
and McManigal Will be Bitter
State Ready for Trial.

Los Angeles, CAL, April 26.-John
j. Mcnamara, secretary Of the Inter-
national Bridge and Structural Iron
Workers association; his brother,
James b. Mcnamara, and Ortie E.
McManigal, accused Of completely in
blowing up of The Times newspaper
plant last October, when 21 men
were killed, are in the Los Angeles
Jail tonight. They are in separate
cells surround by extra guards.
All three are charged with murder.
Their arrival today in irons from
Indianapolis and Chicago signalizes
the beginning Of a desperate legal
struggle. Thus far, however, no def
mite arrangements have been made
for the defense. District Attorney
John ID. Fredericks, who said yester-
day that the State was ready to go
to trial at once, announced that the
formality of arraignment would not
await the convenience Of the defense.
The alleged conspirators arrived at
the Jail from Pasadena in automobiles
after running through two crowds
which, in their eagerness to get a
glimpse Of the prisoners, bore down
more than score Of detectives and
deputies.
AS James Mcnamara entered an
automobile to be taken to jail he
was seen by Mrs. ID. II. Ingersoll, a
San Francisco boarding house keeper
with whom j. b. Bryce stayed before
The Times explosion.
James Mcnamara, according to de-
tectves, is held as Bryce, the man al
legged to have laid the internal ma
chimes that blew up the newspaper
plant. Mrs Ingersoll peered into the
face OF Mcnamara as he entered the
machine. The man was shackled to
an officer but he kept his unbound
hand before his face.
In spite of this Mrs. Ingersol de-
clared aftcrward that he was Bryce.
No one, however could have identi-
fled him as Bryce from the printed
descriptions sent out after the in
dictments were found by the grand
jury.
Mrs. Ingersoll will again confront
him in Jail tomorrow.
least sign Of anger on the part Of the
crowds or of a disposition to justify
the apparent fears of the officers that
an attempt might be made to rescue
the prisoners.
