GRANITE CUTTERS WANT
THEIR PAY
Maine Granite Cutters Claim Half
Million From Uncle Sam.

Maine granite workers who worked
overtime between 1863 to 1876 that
were employed, have been trying ever
since to get their pay from Uncle Sam
and have not yet succeeded, The
claims amount to approximately half
million dollars. which if paid, would
be very acceptable to the men and
the widows and orphans of the men
who have died since the bill was con-
tracted. 1t is believed that some OF
this money would go into nearly every
county in the state, but would be
largely distributed in Knox, Waldo and
Hancock counties.
Recently interest in the claims have
been revived by a movement TO pre-
sent the matter. Hon. Thomas J..
Lyons of Augusta, one of the claim
ants, has been in communication with
the Washington attorneys who have
the matter in charge and has been
informed that the present time is
especially opportunc on account of re-
cent action by congress favorable to
similar claims of navy yard employees.
The granite cutters and allied work
ers were employed mostly on the is
lands of Penobscot bay III preparing
the granite for the big public build
ings. Thousands were employed at
Ninalhayen on the granite for the
state. War and Navy building at
Washington and the Cincinnati post
office, at Hurricane Isle on the st.
Louis postofTice; at Dix Island on the
New York city and Philadelphia post
offices and at Clark's Island on the
Hartford postoffice.
The men were employed under the
eght-hour law, passed in 1868. but en-
forced only during period of Is
months between then and 1876. so that
they worked ten hours day. The
claim was submitted to the 4Sth, 49th
and 50th congresses, but each time the
bill was sidetracked or fell between
the houses.
Congressman Thompson II. Murch
interested himself in the claim during
his terms in Congress, in fact, he was
one Of the claimants. Others have be-
cone interested in the claims from
time to tine. bat have never been able
to get the matter properly before con
gress.

pany were invited to the dining-room

charmingly arranged by Mrs. Smith

Coombs. and the large number of gifts
included remembrances of exquisite
workmanship and rare beauty which
attest the popularity of this young
woman among her numerous friends

FEAR DISCONTINUANCE
NiscaSset, Me-. Custom House Case
Coming Before Congress.

There is much speculation as
to what Congress will do at the coming
session relative to the future OF the
Wiscasset custom house.
1t is generally believed that the Wis
casset office will be combined with
that of some other district, possibly
the one at Bath. That Bath is likely
to be selected in preference to Waldo
boro seems more assured oWing to the
fact that the Bath custom house is
being enlarged, repairs and improve
ments going on there which will
amount to more than $50.00o.
Another reason for this belize is thu
fact that the local office is without a
collector. Capt. {. W. Cate OF Ed2e-
comb, a deputy collector. is i'll char
of the local business and Charles J.
Narr of Boothbay llarbor IS in char
of the Office in that town.

CONFESSION CAUSES
SENSATION
Sentences Pronounced
on the McNamaras
James B. Admits he Dynamted the
Los Angeles Times building, Killing
81 People. John J. Admits the
Llewellyn Iron Works Explosion.

One Of the most startling and SEN
sational confessions ever made known
became public in Los Angeles Dec. L.
when James B. Mcnamara pleaded
guilty to murder in the first degree
in Judge Waller Bordwells court
His brother, John j. Mcnamara, sec
retary of the international Association
of Bridge and Structural Iron Work
ers, entered a plea of guilty to having
dynamted the Llewellyn Iron Works
in Los Angeles on Christmas day, 1910.
The crime for which James b. Nc
Namara and his brother, John J.. who
was secretary and treasurer of the In
ternational Bridge and Structural
Ironworkers' Association, were ar
rested and placed on trial in Los
Angeles, was the blowing up of the
Los Angeles Times newspaper and
printing plant. AT a few minutes after
o'clock on the morning of Oct. l,
1910, while the Times staff were get
ting out the days paper, the building,
situated at Broadway and First street,
was wrecked by dynamite Time clock
bombs had been used, it was ascer-
tanned later
The effect of the explosion was
frightful. One whole wall of the
building collapsed. Floors gave way
and crashed to the cellar. Flames
arose from the lower part and spread
swiftly.
The fremen and the police took 2l
bodies out of the wreckage. Some had
been killed Instantly by the explosion
Others. caught by the sweep of flame,
We're burned to death.
A number of the dead were union
men. Many Of them were married and
had children.
Later in the morning a bomb was
found in the home of General Harrison
Gray Otis, proprietor and editor of the
Times and an ano6inpromising op-
ponent of the closed shop. This bomb
let 90 in the street just after detec-
tiyes who had been examining it were
frightened away by the rattle of its
mechanism. Other bombs were found
cunningly contrved mechanisms, in
which an alarm clock, a Illuminating
cap and can of nitro-glycerine were
the chief components. The tragedy OF
the early morning. together with the
discovery of the bomb in Gen. Otis
house and another bomb near the
house Of the secretary of the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers Associa-
ton, thoroughly alarmed the city.
The great contention that the Los
Angeles Times was not dynamited is
dead beyond recognition or argument
The sentences which were given The
two brothers Dec 5, are life imprison-
ment for James b. Mcnamara while
John J. gets Il years in the peniten-
tiary.
