women and wondering children looked
on while thirty-eight labor union Off.
cials were led, handcuffed, to the Ma.
rion county Jail. after they had been
pronounced guilty Of completely in
the Mcnamara dynamite plots, includ-
ing the blowing up of the Los Ange-
les Times building Oct 1, 1910.
Only two of the forty men on trial
left the courtroom free men. They
were Herman G. Seiffert of Milwau.
kee and Daniel Buckley of Daven-
port, la.
The convicted men are to be SEN
fenced shortly, at which time the de-
Tense will file an appeal, and IL the
bonds fixed are not too heavy all the
defendants will be at liberty pending
review of the verdict by the United
States circuit court of appeals.
Some May Escape Lightly.
Some of the defendants, 1t is ex-
pected, will receive comparatively
light sentences, as the court at diff.
ferent times remarked that it had
been established that all were not
equally guilty. The longest term
that any of them can be sentenced to
serve is thirty-nine and half years.
The verdicts came after trial last
ing more than three months and after
the jury had deliberated on its find
ings for more than forty hours. Ora.
matte scenes accompanied the pre-
sentation of the verdicts, which were
received in deep silence, broken only
by suppressed sobbing OF the wives of
the convicted men.
All those adjudged guilty were
found guilty on all the counts as
charged In the indictments.
After Judge Anderson had cleared
the courtroom Of all spectators and
the families of the defendants the
thirty-eight prisoners were taken in
custody by deputy United States mar
shals and special detectives and were
taken to the Marion county jail.
Not Accused Of Dynamiting.
The men were not charged actually
with causing explosions. The only
charges under which they could be
prosecuted by the federal government
were conspiracy and illegal transpor-
tation of explosives. But the court
ruled that evidence as to violence was
competent as showing motive.

my instructions were to count ac-
curately the bills and look out for
counterfeits," said Mrs. Leonard. "The
first counterfeit I discovered was a
$500 bill. It was almost perfect, hav-
ing but two imperfections. Soon after
ward discovered counterfeit $1,000
bill through noticing that some Of the
letters in the word treasury were
pied. A second look showed several
imperfections. Most counterfeits fall
down on the portraits, because there
never were two artists that could get
the same expression on the face Of q
subject nor an engraver who could
make an exact duplicate Of his own
work"

TO WEED OUT ALIENS.

It Is learned that general orders
have been issued which mean that the
United States army and navy are
gradually to be entirely American
lied. All aliens, not naturalizsd. are
to be replaced In the service by citi-
zens. The issue OF these orders was
discovered as result OF the recent
disappearance Of Japanese buffers,
cooks, Wallets and messroom orderlies,
which has been noticed at some OF
the naval ports, particularly Newport.
Norfolk, San Francisco and Manila. A
high naval officer said:
"The time has o>me when the Uni
ted States must, II It Is to keep its
military and naval secrets from for
eign powers, remove the opportunities
for leakage. In the old days Of sail
ing we had somewhat to rely on aliens
for our sailors, but now there is not
the least need. In future the records
OF all aliens will be gone over care
fully before the men are allowed to
enlist"
