OYNAMITER'S CONFESSION TELLS OF
A FINAL INFERNO" NEARLY DUE

LOS ANGELES, April 26.-Excerpts
from the confession of Ortie McMani-
gal who is declared to have admitted
his part in the creation of a reign OIL
terror for non-union employers, have
been given out by Charles ]. Smith,
assistant manager of the Burns
agency, who was the special guardian
of John ]. Mcnamara, international
secretary of the Structural Iron Work
ers' Union, charged with completely in
the Los Angeles Times dynamiting,
on his trip from Indianapolis to Los
Angeles. According to Smith, the fol-
lowing statements are taken verbatim
from the McManigal confession Sc
cured in Chicago These were the
finalities of the devilish work:
BLOW up the Los Angeles aqueduct
and the vital points in the distributing
system of the Los Angeles water de-
partment.
IF this did not subdue the opposi
tion then to cause, simultaneously a
score or more of explosions similar tc
the one that destroyed the Times
building and killed twenty employees
in all parts of the city. The victims

industries and the City Hall"
Preceding this action, according tc
the McManigal confession, as quoted
by Smith, individual vengeance was
to be visited on Harry Chandler, the
generalmanager of the Times-NIirroi
/ Company. Jim" Mcnamara, known
as Brice, according to the confession
wanted Chandler as his personal vic
tim.
The volcanic climax was also to be
preceded by turbulence, strikes, pick
citing and a general period of unrest
during which from time to time, ex.
IRENE violence would manifest itsel
in explosions of dynamite at differen
places.
According to McNamara's confes
sion, according to Smith, the one dis

c. M. Robinson, G. E. Kessler, r.
Macmonnies, and many others, all
men of worldwide regulations in
planning Improvements, and in beau
tifying cities.
Some of their plans are truly CO.

such cities as Chicago, Boston, Cleve-

to mention.
Cleveland has a scheme to group
all of her public and semi-public
buildings, at a cost of $2O,OOO,O)O.
and many other cities will spend far
more than this. Indeed this grouping
of public buildings in the city cen.
ter is spreading everywhere. Mil
waukee is aiming to make a city
for the workers, and which will con-
tain numerous gardens, parks, and
promenades, besides numerous other
improvements. Kansas City has laid
out a park and a boulevard system
OF 1000 acres, at cost of $10,00O,)00,
without issuing bonds or levying
taxes to Go so"
The same spirit is being exhibited
almost throughout America, and in
many cities of Europe. The same is
also true of Canada, and Australia.
In fact all the world seems to be
interested in this subject. and not

The remains of the late Major

speed of sixty kilometers Cabout thir-

interesting feature of the locomotives
is that, instead of transmitting power
from the motor to the aXles by means
of cogwheels as heretofore, this is
done by cranks and rods as in steam
engines. The motor is situated rather
high in the body of the locomotive,
recent experience tending to show
that a high center of gravity steadies
the locomotive. With the exception of
locomotives the present rolling STOCK

"These counties are situated on the
shore of the Inland Sea, about twelve
or thirteen miles west of Kobe, and
the water for irrigation is to be taken
from the Yamada river, a branch of
the Kako river. The cost will be
$4,000 gold, which will be procured
through a loan that is to be repaid in
twenty-five yearly installments, COM
mencing three years after the COM
pletion of the work. Land owners will
be charged seventy-five cents to 81

water after five years from the COM
pletion of work, which is expected 10
be in February, 1914.
"The length of the irrigating ditch
will be six and three-quarter miles,
and the nature of the ground can be
surmlsed from the fact that there will
be twenty tunnels of a combined
length of three and one-eighth miles.
The total area of land to be brought
under irrigation is 3,430 acres, which
is now mostly used in growing vege-
tables, but when irrigated will be
capable of producing 10000 bushels
of rice, and the returns from the in
creased value of the products are
estimated at 100000 yearly"

Honolulu, May 8, 1911.


Editor Starr am glad to see
that a great concerted effort is to
be made to have the Irwin site nam
ed as the most suitable place for the
Federal building. And it lis to be
hoped that every one. that has any
love for the natural and civic beau
ty of the city will sign the petition
that is being circulated around for
the purpose of urging Congress to
adopt this site for this building. |
should like to say that never in the
history of the U. S. has so much
time and attention been given to
the subject of grouping and placing
the great public buildings in suit
able positions.
Indeed, if one will take the trouble
to read the article in Hampton's Mag
azine, May, 1911, called "The Ameri-
can City of Tomorrow" he will be
amazed at the immense amount Of
attention given to this subject.
He will find in this article sugges-
tons from the greatest architects,
engineers, educators, and artists,
and many of the most progressive
men of the day, all aiming to make
ideal conditions and provisions for
comfort, convenience and happiness.
These men are taking a far-visioned
view of the future, and their forecast
is valuable and worth while.
Among other things, they are work,
ing for the commission form of gov
eminent, and it will be surprising
to learn that over one hundred cities,
in twenty-three states, have adopted
this plan of government.
The American cities are being
transformed, and a love of the beau
tiful is being felt almost all over the
u. S.
More than sixty cities are already
feeling this contagion and are plan
ming an immense number of improve
ments that will change the entire
aspect of these cities.
And they are prepared to spend
hundreds of millions of dollars upon
these great undertakings.
Among the men that are interested
in this work are such men as Messrs

were all of solid gold, and life sized.
Besides there were millions in prec-

by Mrs. Till and Miss Davis, an aged

treasure when he and the crew Of the
Mary Deer mutinied and killed the
officers Of the ship, and sailed away
from Calloa under the very guns OF

sailed away, expecting to return for
the loot later.
Their expectations were never re-
allied, for shortly afterward the
Mary Deer was overtaken by PERU

of two men all were put to death.
One of these was the dying pirate
who had succeeded in making his es
cape. but never dared venture near
the treasure. AS proof Of the truth
of his story it is said the old man
surrendered to his nurses a portion
of one of the Madonna's ears, which
was found to be made of pure gold.
So explicit were the directions con
tanned in the dying mans chart that
despite the desire of Captain Parker
to land the party at Chatham harbor

Mrs. Till refused to permit land
ing anywhere except at Wafer bay
where the landing was effected with
great difficulty.

LOST FAITH IN WHITE MAN
Eskimo Tested Efficacy of Telephone
Scheme, and Realized He Had
Been Deceived.

An interesting story is told regard
Ing the efforts of an Eskimo to con-
struct n telephone line The Eskimo
came into possession of a piece of wire
of considerable length and never hav-
ing seen wire before he asked Profes-
sor Mcmillan OF the Peary north pole
expedition what it was and what it
was for. He was told that the white
man strung it on poles stuck in the
ground and voice talking to an in
strument at one end could be heard at
the other end. After some search the
next morning the Eskimo was found
to be engaged in telephone construc-
tion work of his own. He stuck some
sticks in the ground and hung his
wire on them. lie held one end of
the Wire to his mouth and talked to
it at the top OF his voice. Then he
ran as fast as he could to the other
end and held the wire to his ear with
the expectation of hearing his own
words repeated.
When he failed to hear any sounds
the expression on his face revealed
his opinion of his white friend.

confidently expects to make the trip

of polar exploration of the future will

At the annual dinner of the Aeronaut-

unknown areas of the globe, the re-

poles.
THE balloon will not serve the pur-
pose-the work of exploration in the
future will be done by aeroplane."
