OF the greatest importance. A hand

exploded bomb which was picked up
after an explosion in the railroad
yards at East Peoria. Ill. led to the
discovery that a man named j. w.
McGraw had purchased a large guam
tity Of nitro glycerin ostensibly for a
mar whom he said was F. w. Clark
Of Indianapolis. McGraw was shad-
owed. In December he disappeared
from his haunts, and on Christmas
day Los Angeles received another
shock. The Llewellyn Iron Works.

union employees, was partially wreck

tary treasurer OF the International
Association Of Bridge and Structural

Namara met again in Toledo on
April II, and on April ~, they were
arrested in Detroit.
The two prisoners were hurried
from the Michigan city to a hiding
place in Chicago. and upon telegraph

in Los Angeles returned secret tndtct-

extradition papers were obtained with
the utmost secrecy from Governor

ance. Public opinion has changed
since Paul forgot his cloak at Troas.
The meeting Of the federated wo-
mems clubs at Devils Lake Is one Of
the ear by which the changed con-
ditions Of the sex has been accom-
plished. 1t would hardly be fair to
say that woman has either been
! emancipated or has emancipated her.
self. There has never been among
the Anglo-Saxons that idea OF pos
session Of oma that has been so
pronounced among eastern races. The
sex was held by conventionalities. A
| century ago the daughter was edM-
Gated in the things that enabled her
to entertain. Her music and painting
and dancing were for ornamental not
useful purposes. Marriage was the
one great ideal. and too often rather
than bear the cdtum Of being an old
she despised in her heart. and crush
cd in silence the martyrdom she en-
dured. That such conventions have
been broken down and such customs
cast into the discard is due to the ef-
forts Of the women themselves. They
have throuEh their club organizations
upset the standards Of the dead ages
and constructed a lev one in keep
ing with the times.
In the change. roma has lost
much of her uselessness but none Of
her womanliness: she has become
stronger but no more masculine: she
has used more brains. but no more
coarseness: wifehood and motherhood
have lost o of their sweetness. but
much of their helplessness. and the
ennobling influence of woman
hood has been exalted and not debas-
ed. Man will still crown her queen
Of his heart and home as a companion
and partner and not as an ornament.
Sons and daughters will love her for
her strength Of character INC not for
self-sacrifices; they will admire and
not pity her.

The gathering Of the federated club
women at Devils Lake this week is
anon the most important conven-

of history in the evolution OF the
state and the progress of Its people.

state. II she is called to the stand.
1t is asserted. witnesses found by de-
tectives who have been searching her
life and records for weeks and
months, will be produced to testify
against her.
On May S. the day after McManigal
had testified. the grand jury returned
twenty.one new indictments. One Of
these held McManigal responsible for
the Llewellyn Iron Works explosion.
Another charged John J. MCNAMARA

Later she was summoned to testify
before the grand jury. and for three
days she pitted her wits against those

to question her.
On the second day detectives for
the prosecution brought McNIanigal
we from the jail and confronted his
wife with him. She emerged from

Subsequently McMantgal, in the pres
ence Of Burns detectives. gave a
statement to reporters that the de-
tense was using his wife to induce
him to deny his testimony. but that
he. would stick to the prosecution. He
also declared that he was not permit
ted to see his children because he
would not change sides.
With Mr.. Darrow's arrival in Nav
plans for the defense were begun. The
time for the McNamaras to enter
their pleas to the murder indictments
was deferred until July 6, but on that
date instead Of entering pleas. Mr..
Darow backed by Attorneys Joseph

Hartman to assist him. assailed the

es-and tho trial was set to octo-

Der IL.
On certain points relative to the
presence Of James Mcnamara in Cal
tfornia. the evidence Of the prosecu-
ton is believed to consist mainly Of
signatures on the registers Of hotels
where Brice was a guest in Sausalito,
San Francisco and Los Angeles.
Handwriting experts therefore will be
prominent among the experts called
in to trial.
It 10 believed here that three lines
OF defense are open, namely:
To establish an abb. by proving
that James B. Mcnamara. the only
n OF the prisoners whom 1t is al.
angeles. was no hero at the time
OF the disaster.
or to achieve the same result by
leaving the burden Of proof upon tho
state, and then demonstrating to the
jury that the prosecution had not
proved that James B. Mcnamara was
IN Los Angeles on or about October
/. 1910.
Or to prove that the destruction Of
ed by dynamite but by the huge vol.
m OF gas used for heating the met
al IN the linotype machines Of tho
newspaper.
The latter apparently is the line
the defense has chosen. and here
VIII be the battle ground Of the ex-
perts. For every expert the prosecu.
ton calls upon to testify to support
the dynamite theory. the defense
viii have n to do his best toward
establishing the belief that gas was
responsible for the disaster.
Fol weeks. it is anticipated, the
IeGdl struggle will be waged upon this
point. The jury will be confronted
oy a maze Of figures. theories and
facts concerning tho characteristics
OF dynamite and gas.
And at the end, when the exhibits

ed'nes and dynamite sticks. now stor-

ert, have been shown. and the whole
story Of the tragedy unfolded, The
fate Of tho Mcnamara brothers, ac-
cording 10 students on both sides OF
the case, will depend upon the iury:a
answer to the question:: WAS it Jy-

for CaldwelPs Run.

Lying south OF the towns OF Elm
Grove and Patterson and adjoining
both. Is the new residence addition
or Cedar Rocks. which was first
placed on the market last summer
and has enjoyed n very rapid devel-
opment. The tract Is a very large one
and In spite OF the fact that two
thirds OF the lots have been sold,
there is still a splendid opportunity
in this location for the home builder
or investor.
The addition was formerly the Nc
Cabe farm and its natural advantages
are unexcelled. The ground slopes
gradually TO the north. ensuring per-
feet natural drainage and is very free
from unattractive irregularities. The
tract is bounded on the south and
east by n dense forest. which ranks
in beauty with any park in this sec
tion. Along one border flows big
Wheeling creek and the famous fish
ing grounds OF this stream are at the
disposal of the residents. The loca-
tion IS within a few minutes drive OF
the Elm Grove railroad station and
yet is far enough removed TO be en-
tirely free from the smoke and noise
two never failing springs of the purest
water are located in the heart OF the
addition.
