Unsanitary Conditions

The very great present danger Is
that arising from conditions where
sewer connection is impossible. DR..
Lumsden spoke of rhe Modern addi-
ton and said that he had seldom
seen a locality better adapted to tn =
spread of typhoid. 1t WAS not that
Modern addition was the dirtiest
place he had seen by any means, but
with no sewers and no city water. no
sanitary privies and no sanitary ma
nure boxes, it was an ideal breeding
ground for flies. He said, too. that in
many instances the wells and the
prives were so close together that
practically it amounted to the same
thing as Il single hole in the ground.

Milk a Danger

The milk, he said. was much more
of menace than the water. Owing
to the many possibilities of contain
nation in handling, the greatest care
must be exercised in the dairies and
by the people with one or two COWS
who sell milk to neighbors.
DR. Lumsden said he had no doubt
that the recent typhoid outbreak was
caused by the city water. and that
probably a percentage of the typhoid
cases in other years had come from
the water supply. but that there were
60 many other unsanitarY conditions
here which might cause the disease
and its spread. that he felt il a mis-
take to place too much emphasis Oh
the water supply, lest the temptation
be to throw the blame on it and
overlook the other grave mcnaces on
all sides With q proper patrOlllng
of the water shed. the filtera tioh
process installed and all danger re-
moved o infection of the water In
the mains, he thinks that North Yak
ina has very little to fear from this
source.

Story Of the Arrest Of
The Mcnamara Bros.
Detective McLaren Tells How They We're Traced and What
Led to Confession Of Mechanical

I've got hundreds Of thousands
of dollars and the American FEEDER
alton Of Labor back of me. 1t took
only $50 1000 to clear Vincent Alt
man Of Chicago, and if they could
not convict him, they can't convict
me-"
This boast attributed by Detec-
tive Malcolm MacLaren to James b.
Mcnamara as the latter was being
taken on a train from Detroit to
Chicago on the night of April IL
last caused Ortie E. McManigal, al
SO under arrest, to become angered
with Mcnamara for his indiscrete
statements which led McManigal to
break away from his companion and
confess his connection with var
ious dynamiting explosions through
the country.
{. Details of what McManigal knows
Of the alleged conspiracy were
given to the grand jury. His story,
which duplicates other men in the
International Association Bridge
and Structural Iron Workers, be-
came known from various sources.
McManigal alleges that persons
other than John j. Mcnamara, the
secretary treasurer, paid him for the
20 Jobs" of dynamiting which he
accomplished since 1907.
The testimony of McManigal will
be of great value to the govern
ment's investigators and the state
will not try him on the indictments
against him until the federal au-
thorities are through. Even then,
it was stated tonight, District At
torney Fredericks will recommend
his discharge on account of signal
service rendered.
"McManigal never killed I'M
body; in fact, he took good care
never to endanger human life," re-
marked Assistant District Attorney
w. Joseph Ford.
Malcolm MacLaren, the Burns
detective, who arrested j. B.. Nc
Namara and McManigal, and has
been in close cooperation with Os-
car Lawler, the special prosecutor
for the government in the federal
investigation gives the following
complete story. new in many i'm
portant details.
Of the events and circumstances
which led to the arrest of Nc
Nanigal with Mcnamara in Detroit
James B. Mcnamara on the journey
from Detroit to Chicago ave the
detectives ground for persuading
McManigal to confess his crimes.
The statements of Mcnamara were
made, according to MacLaren, in
the presence of Detective Sergeants
Guy B%iddinger and William Reed of
Chicago, Raymond Burns, son of
William Burns. and MacLaren him
self. MacLaren told in minute de-

tail the date, hours and places OF
his shadowing Of McManigal for a
long period prior to his arrest.
When he confronted MECHANICAL
with the knowledge he had gained
the dynamiter decide to break from
his companions and to tell all he
knew.
About the It'll or sth of April
last" said MacLaren, Il pick
ed up McManigal at his home in
Chicago. He had just arrived from
Springfield, Mass, where he had
blown up the Municipal tower. He
had stopped in Indianapolis and OBJ
tanned $500 from J. b. Mcnamara
for the Springfield job and the one
at Milwaukee.
I'VE Swallowed him the next
day as he went down town with his
wife. McManigal then went to the
headquarters of the iron workers
union and finally went home.
I'VE traiIed McManigal and his
wife the next day as they walked
with their children, looking in
to shop windows and finally visiting
a shoe store next to the Palmer
house. i had been in McManigals
neighborhood for several DAYS and
was afraid his children, who had
seen me might recognize me, and
call their fathers attention to me-
| saw McManigal buy a pair of
shoes which he is now wearing, and
/ remember he was amazed after
l arrested him when / told him
the size of the shoes he had on,
how much he paid for them and
who was with him when he bought
them.
Trip TO Toledo.
"McManigal left home carrying
a suit case and l took a Lake
Shore train with him to Toledo,
keeping well away from his sight
all the time. When we arrived in
Toledo, James B. Mcnamara was
waiting for McManigal at the sta
ton. They shook hands and sat
down in the station for a talk. Nc
Manigal pulled out a map which
l saw was of Detroit as 1 passed
them. They traced over it with a
lead pencil but finally went to the
M%eyerhoff hotel. j. B. registering as
F. Caldwell, and Mechanical as G..
Foster.
Il had received instructions to
arrest j. B. as soon as / had locat-
ed him, SO I called up Chicago on
the long distance telephone for
instructions and got Raymond Burns
on the other end. He told me to
call in half an hour, and in the
mean time got into communication
with his father who was in Boston.
Raymond Burns came on from
Chicago with Deceive Sergeants
Biddinger and Reed.

would let him off before reaching
Chicago and give him SO hours to

he had spoken. Remember, I've
got a lot of backing he added. and
if you fellows don't come across
We'll get you-and you and you.
He pointed to each of us threat
eningly.
AFTER we reached Chicago, Burns
talked to McManigal and j. B.
separately. / tipped my chief that
McManigal vas the more likely of
the two to give up, as he had a fam
lily. whereas j.. B. did not. Burns
talked to McManigal all afternoon.

on him. how W. had trailed his
movements and knew everything he
had done for some time. Then
Burns told McManigal to send for
him when he got ready to give. his
answer. and left.
McManigal Weakens.
Il had a long talk with McMan-
igal. TOO. and told him that l had
seen him say goodbye to his wife
and children. / told him how he
had kissed them and informed him
that there was a good chance that
he ever would see them again as
a free man, and it was his duty TO
save them.
THAT night at 9 O'Clock McMani-
gal sent for Mr.. Burns. and in the
presence of a secretary gave my
chief a long statement until 4 o.
clock in the morning. That was
how the confession was made. and
of course the real details of it never
have been made public. We had
prepared TO have him tell it on the
stand in the trial. but now the fed
eral government can use it.

small parts of the field at a time,
since otherwise there will be
great waste. To hog down to
the best advantage, therefore,
means that extra money for fenc-
ing will have to be spent on most
farms. The outside of the corn
field should by all means be
fenced hog tight with woven
wire. Some farmers have found
the most convenient way of di-
viding the field into small di-
visions is to use portable wooden
fence. The Minnesota expert
ment station recommends put
ting in a temporary woven wire
fence, using for posts three-inch
posts six feet long, sharpened to
a point, with rounded tops, so
that they may be easily driven
in the ground for temporary
fencing purposes. One of our
subscribers says that he simply
ties the woven wire to a row of
standing corn. The cost per
acre of fencing which is neces-
sary for hogging down corn may
be considerable, but on most
farms it will not amount to more
than the labor cost of husking
one acre. Let us hear from those
farmers who tried hogging down
corn last season. -Wallace's Far

HOgging Down Corn.


tried it say that hogging down
corn gives splendid results. They
claim that hogs so fattened put
on faster gains at a less cost for
feed and labor and that the soil
is left in a more fertile condition.
Avoiding the labor of husking is
one of the strongest arguments
in favor of hogging down corn.
Farmers who have not tried
it look on the hogging down OF
corn as a shiftless method which
results in a waste of corn. Be-
sides this, many of them feel
that hogs in the field exercising
can not fatten as we'll as those in
the dry lot where they move
around very little. The expense
of fencing the fields hog tight
keeps many from hogging down
corn. Besides this, it is often
inconvenient to look after hogs
in the corn field and supply them
with water.
Enough experimenting has
been done with hogging down
corn to prove that it pays under
ordinary conditions. In the av-
erage field, $3.50 to $3.50 per
acre is saved because there is no
husking. In two years expert
menting in Minnesota, hogs in
the corn field needed only about
two-thirds as much feed to make
the same amount of gain as those
in a dry lot. Field hogs were
found to put on as many pounds
of gain in seventy.five days as
dry lot hogs did in one hundred
days. They seemed also to be
| in a more healthy condition.
The reason for hogs in the field
doing so much better is appar-
emily that they find the corn
much more attractive and pala-
table when it is soft and moist
and still in natures covering.
They seem to enjoy doing their
Town harvesting.
When is the best time to turn
hogs into the corn field? Elk
perienced men differ somewhat
on this point, but just as the
corn is denting is a very good
time to start the pigs harvest
ling corn for themselves. For
ten days or two weeks before
turning hogs into the corn field,
it is a good scheme to gradually
accustom them to new corn by
cutting the corn and feeding 1t
to them in the pasture or dry
lot. The animals are not then
so apt to scour and 60 of feed
when they have a large amount
of new corn before them to eat at
will.
What sized hogs do the hog
ging down to the best advan'
tage? Hogs over 100 pounds in
weight do the best job of har-
vesting, since they are large
enough to break down the corn
for themselves, and are old
enough to use it to good advan'
tage. Pigs under 100 pounds in
weight do we'll in the corn field,
but they should have consider
able of such feeds as shorts, oil
meal or tankage fed to them il
the best results are to be had
Even the older pigs should have
a small amount of some such
feed as shorts, oil meal, or tank
age in the form of slop. If rape
or cowpeas have been sowu In
the corn at the last cultivation,
less of these supplementary feeds
are required.
1t Is poor policy to turn a small
number of pigs into 4 large corr
field. For the best results We
would prefer having the corr
field divided of in such a way
that there would be from ten tC
! twenty pigs to the acre. Wher
