LEGAL BATTLE
IN CALIFORNIA
Union and State Fight ever
Nc kamara Indictment.

Los Angeles, Cal, May 2.-With the
arrival here Of Leon NJ. Rappaport,
general attorney for the Structural
1ronworkers Of America, plans for the
defense Of the MCNAMARA brothers on
the charge Of dynamiting the Times
building here last october are taking
definite shape. The prisoners prob
ably WIN be arraigned tomorrow. An
other incident of the recent develop
ments In the case was the receipt by
John D. Fredericks, district attorney,
Of a threatening letter If he continued
the prosecution of the union men.
Attorney Rappaport declined to go
into details regarding the plans of the
defense until he had fully informed
himself regarding the situation here
and had conferred with the McNama-
ras. On a report to be made to Clar-
enc barrow by Rappaport will de-
pend whether Darrow will come to
Los Angeles.
In preparation for the varied activi-
ties of the defense q number of offices
have been engaged. Detectives are
being put out by the defense to watch
those on the other side and to gather
whatever evidence may be obtainable
that will weaken the case Detective
Burns has planned.
The threat of death received by the
district attorney was contained in an
envelope postmarked Times Square,
New York, April 90" M. J. Schmidt,
sender of a similar threat to Detective
Burns, signed it and the letters are
similar in tenor. 1t reads inrpart as
follows:
"The Mcnamara brothers are In Los
Angeles to face an accusation of which
they are innocent, because I am the
one who set the bomb, and the Burns
detectives are looking for me, but they
are not smart enough to catch me.
"They are paid a large sum of
money for their work by the capital
lists, so they had to pinch somebody,
but you can be sure that John J. Nc
Namara In entirely innocent"
Mrs. Ortie q. McManigal will come
to Los Angeles and will be q witness
IN corroboration Of the testimony her
husband will give regarding his deal
ings with John j. Mcnamara. The
prosecution will show by her, it
claims, that letters to be offered n
evidence from John ]. Mcnamara
came, although he did not sign them.

MayfIoWer Wedding.

A charming plan for wedding to &C.
cur in the postmaster season this year
would be to have it an arbutus or may
flower ceremony.
Rooms and corridors of the house to
which guests are admitted should be
trimmed with tire deliciously aromatic
little blooms. Mantlepieces. shelves win
dow seats and even ia bles should be COW
cred with rich deep moss obtained from a
florist. and in this bowls and pots filled
with the arbutus blooms and leaves
should be placed.
The young couple should plight their
troth under a tiny bower or arbor of wire
covered with moss and vines and sprin-
killed. with arbutus blossoms.
AS the flowers arc both white and pink
it is entirely appropriate for the bride to
wear the prescribed bridal white, carry
ing a prayer book, while the bridesmaids
should wear delicate pink and carry boil
quets Of arbutus with streamers of pale
green ribbon
Weddings where the chosen flower is
some kind of fruit blossoms are espe-
cialy beautiful and effective in addition
| to the pretty symbolism of the idea itself.
| Florists are, of course, already prepared
with the forced fruit blossoms. and where

garnished in the same way.
/ A charming idea for the wedding break

feast is set forth a little tree skillfully
made up of Towering natural blooms
Any capable florist can do this, and
after the departure Of the couple the

Household Hints.

Paying her bills weekly, instead of
monthly, will simplify housekeeping for
a young woman who is on an allowance.
Food has an appalling way of mounting
to far higher totals than was expected.
II bills come in once in seven days. in
stead Of every four weeks, amounts are
more easily kept track Of and an allow
ance is less likely to be exceeded:
However much a young housekeeper
may detest figures, it is only by book
keeping that she will keep herself out
Of debt. 1t is the infinite number of
small items that run away with ones
money the yeast cakes, soap, flour and
the like-none of which costs much and
total is usually more than expected. Tn
less accounts are kept it is impossible to
know where these individual five-cent
pieces and coppers have gone, and not
infrequently a cook is thought to be ex-
travagant. inexperienced hOusekeeperS
may think servants extravagant when
the trouble lies wholly with themselves
and their disregard of trifles.

Scientific" mastication of food, as it
might be called, should be done by all
persons, but especially those who are
| trying to keep their figures in good con-
dition or If they suffer from indigestion.
Experiments have proved beyond ques-
| ton that reducing food to its most pulpy
state before sending It into the stomach
aids assimilation, and at the same time
nourishing properties are increased. To
put the latter fact differently, sufficient
| nourishment will be obtained from a
smaller amount Of food If it is well mas
ticated than would be if it were not well
reduced before swallowing. AS woman
who is trying to prevent gaining flesh
does not wish to eat any more than she
| must for health's sake, it is obviously to
her advantage to go into scientific
mastication
BY this is meant simply taking small
mOuthfuls and chewing each until there
| Is nothing left Of it. 1t is on record or
| tradition that Gladstone chewed every
mouthful thirty-seven times, and 1t was

Gates even the chewing OF milk, which. at

Rapid eating is one Of the common

A CHINA SHOWER
FOR SPRING BRIDE

A "china shower Is pretty enter
tainment for a girl to give to friend
who is about to become bride. and
the gifts are not SO expensive as to
make them difficult to manage. 1t is
in all respects like linen shower,
save that china is substituted.
Each girl is expected to bring
piece of china to tho guest of honor,
and the donation may be useful or or
namental. as one chooses. Unless. the
bride is to live very extensively it is
better taste to bring her something
simple, as such gifts do rot take the
place Of a wedding present. so that
the same friends must buy another re-
membrance later.
A graceful way Of managing the
shower is to make it like an informal
tea. The guest Of honor should be
asked to pour. and the table may be in
the sitting room. Sandwiches. cakes.
nuts and candies, with tea, are enough
to serve.
| The gifts are brought wrapped by
their donors. and in each should be the
| giver's card, on which friendly mes
sage has been written. All the parcels
are arranged on a small table in the
next room when the guests arrive, and
| the prospective bride should know
nothing Of them at the time.
When tea is over. the table or tray
holding the gifts Is to be brought into
the room where the guests are assem-
bled. and the recipient opens them in
the presence of her friends.
A shower is always more successful
| if the girl who is to be so honored is
unaware OF what is to occur. 1t is
| simple for her hostess to ask her to
come to an informal tea. warning the
other guests to say nothing Of the OBJ
| ject of the special occasion.
For such a tea it will be necessary
to write notes Of invitation, a visiting
lard hardly fulfilling the requirements.
Such a note may read:
Nv Dear Mary:
| Won't you join in giving a china shower to
Anna Howard Thursday afternoon. th
| tventy-ffth? ! am asking about fifteen Of the
girls at about four O'Clock. Do not tell Anna
| il is to be shower IL you her before then
Sincerely, LOUISE MAY BROWN.
The note should be answered.

A Serge Waist Suit.

A smart and very practical serge waist
suit just sent home to wealthy girl
from a fashionable tailor may so easily
be duplicated from a small purse that
ii is worth knowing.
The material is green serge, and the
trimming is blue ooze leather.
Save for a box pleat in the back. the
skirt is plain. The pleat, though stitched
within twelve inches of the bottom. is
graduated, so that at the top it is only
four inches wide. The very top Of the
pieat Is set up on the waist, so that from
the waist line to the top of the pleat is a
distance OF five inches. This section. from
the waist line. is piped with the green
leather, and green leather buttons the
size of a silver dime trim the inner edge
of the pleat on each side and across the
top from the waist line up.
The actual belt in the back is high,
three inches above the waist. 1t slopes
