SUSPECTS IN CALIFORNIA
Alleged Dynamiters Rapidly Nearing
Their Destination.


Los Angeles, Cal, April 27.-Heav-
lily manacled and guarded by eight
officers from Chicago and Los An
geles, John Y. Mcnamara, his brother,
James w. Mcnamara, and Ortie E..
McManigal, alleged dynamiters, en-.
tered California on the Santa Fe rail-
road at Needles and are expected to
be in Jail in Los Angeles by the mid
die of the afternoon.
When the prisoners crossed the
state line from Arizona to California
the officers having them in charge
felt for the first time since leaving
Chicago that they were free from the
legal dangers of habeas corpus pro-
ceedings. Reports were received that
application for habeas corpus for the
pathizers at two or three different
places along the route they travelled,
but these were not confirmed.
In this city there was no sign of
excitement or hostile feeling toward
the prisoners, nor has there been
from the moment of their arrest at
Indianapolis and Detroit. Keen inter-
est, of course, has been displayed in
the capture of the supposed dyna-
miters, but a feeling of absolute calm
prevailed.
All preparations of precaution have
been made by the local peace officers,
however, for the safe entrance Of the
prisoners into the city and for their
incarceration.

WILL ASK CHANGE OF VENUE
Trial Of Alleged Dynamiters May Not
Take Place at Los AnueIes.

Los Angeles, Cal, April 27-The
trials of John j. and James w. McNa-
mara and Ortie E. McManigal, on
charges of participation in the Los
Angeles dynamiters, will not take
place in this city if the attorneys for
the defense can help it.
Judge c. M. Hilton of Denver, who
has been retained as associate coun-
sci for the defense, announced that
his first work in the legal battle fol-
lowing the indianapolis and Detroit
arrests will be to demand change of
venue from Los Angeles on the ground
that this city is hotbed of prejudice
against the accused.
Il ask the people to withhold judg-
ment until all the facts are in Hill
ton said. This is going to be the
most Titanic struggle between labor
and capital in our history.

Minnesota Historical Society to Seek
Old Relics Believed to be Buried
Near Ashby.
WORK WAS BEGUN LAST YEAR
Hopes to Establish the Genuineness
of Kensington Runestone-Will
Erect Monument.

1t is reported from Ashby, twenty
miles south of Fergus Falls, that the
Minnesota Historical society soon
will resume excavating for traces of
the -Norsemen who are believed to
have been killed there in 1912. The
work was begun on small scale
last year and if relics are found, it
will detinately establish the genuine
ness of the famous Kensington rune
stone. The inscription on this stone
is to the effect that eight Goths
(Swedes) and twenty-five Norweg-
ians were upon a journey of dis
covery westward from Vinland, and
while engaged in fishing at point
where two, sherries, or rocks, jut out
into the water, ten of their COM
panions were killed in camp.
1--WE returned home and found the
men red with blood and dead. Ave
Marie, save us from evil" is the con-
clusion of the inscription.
The inscription states that the
tragedy occurred one days journey
from the place where the stone was
found, and a point in Pelican lake,
adjoining Ashby, is just about one
days journey from Kensington, and
tallies perfectly with the description.
on the stone. The point is heavily
wooded and runs well out into the
lake, and two huge rocks jut out in
the manner in which the stone des-
cribes. The surviving members of
the expedition were fishing on one
side of the point, the record says,
when their companions were slain on
the other side. The Minnesota Ills
torical society is planning to erect
monument on the point as soon as
the necessary funds are secured, as
it is believed that ten of the original
explorers of the continent were there
slain by Indians.
In this connection, an interesting
document has recently been found in
Norway which may throw some light
on the identity of the expedition.
This document is letter from the
king of Norway to Paul Knutson,
authorizing him to fit up an expedi-
ton to go to Greenland to fight the
Eskimos there and in lands beyond.
The expedition left Bergen, Norway,
in 1855 and did not return until
1854. The Kensington Rhinestone
bears the inscription, 1862, and it is
not at all improbable that the VEN
turesome Norsemen of this expedition
pushed westward, possibly by way
of Hudson's bay, and possibly by way
of Vinland. In either case, they
would have little difficulty in finding
waters by which they could travel
to the center of the continent, the
Red River of the North, forming a
waterway direct from Hudsons bay
and the Great Lakes, pointing in this
direction from the east Prof. Win
chell, of the state university, is con-
fident that the scene of the massacre
described on the stone has been cor
rectly located, and the outcome of
the excavations will be awaited with
interest. Hjalmer R. Holland, who
has been especially active in estab-
fishing the authenticity Of the stone,
is enclined to the belief that the eX-
petition came into this section by
way of Hudson's bay.

And drop their dangerous hair
about my heart
And pleading with lips lyrical or

And howsoever an alluring art,
They could not win the kisses
that are thine.
If Helen came. her white limbs hung
with gold,
And Deirdre. with dim visionary
eyes.
And Grania, flame-hsired, fiery
with command;
If Hero came-reluctant once of old
And she who all too long with RO-
meo lies
And she who led Dante heaven
ward by the hand.
They could not make me fam of their
fair lips.
Nor lure me to the languor of fair
breasts
With any soft compulsion of white
arms;
And delicate dim touch of finger tips
And fire that flames from eyes and
fire that rests
Would leave me cold and lose the
name of charms.
