GETTING AT IT'S EXTENT.

The indictments just found In Los
Angeles show that some progress is be-
ing made toward unveiling the organized
labor conspiracy which was responsible
for the long series Of dynamite eNplo-
sions in various parts of the country.
Instead Of these crimes heing the work
of the McNamaras alone, as Gompers
and his associates have tried to make
ont since the McNamaras' plea Of guilty,
the government has found sufficient evil
dence to satisfy grand jury Of partici-
nation by California union leaders In
crimes committed in their territory.
Great significance attaches TO the fact
that while only the crimes committed in
the southern district Of California were
investigated by the grand jury the IN
ouiry resulted in the indictment Of the
most prominent leaders Of the workers
trades in California. This shows that,
In the opinion Of the grand jury, the
McNamaras worked with and through
the local representatives Of their union:
that the dynamlting was not done dl-
rectly from the Indianapolis headquar-
ters, but that the local ironw0rkers' rep
resentatives were cogniZant Of il. Thus. II
the Los Angeles grand jury is not mis-
taken, some idea Is afforded OF the eX'
tent TO which organized labor and its
leaders were involved In the murderous
use Of dynamite. Slaughter and the de-
struction of property went on through
union channels. The local representa-
tives carried on their share OF the con-
spiracy just as they did the regular busi-
ness Of the union.
Moreover, il the grand jury Is right
about the participation Of the California
ironworkers' leaders, there Is every rea-
son to suppose that other local represent
atives OF the union In other parts OF the
country were in the confidence OF the
McNamaras and did their part In cary.
ing on the conspiracy. Since there we're
explosions In many different parts Of the
country. It is probable that many ,abor
unionists I'm various sections Of the coun-
try were involved in the crimes. And If
Il should be shown that cognizance OF the
dynamite plot extended through the
lower circles Of organized labor, what
reason will there be for supposng that
II did not equally permeate the higher
circles?

seTH STREET RAILWAY TRACKS.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir; I notice that the Park Department
IS unable to find sufficient work TO keep
all of its laborers steadily occupied. Why
could not some of them be employed In re-
moving the abandoned street railway tracks
In West ssth street? This street Is under
the Jurisdiction OF the Department Of PARKS.
The tracks are distractions to trahlc ana
detract from the general appearance OF TINS
park street. The line has not been operated
for some years and the company is re-
ported TO have lost it's charter. Why are
the tracks not removed? r. H.

of Mr. Bostwick's five children. As four of

4 NEW LEAF IN TRACTION.

Among the reforms which the new
year brings to this city Is reform In
traction. The Metropolitan Street Rail-
way Company of many aliases and un-
favorably known under all OF tnem'
turns over a new leaf and becomes the
New York Railways Company. 1t begins
as scrupulously as any one else under
the spell of a resolution. Out Of the list
Of It's virtues composed for public con-
sumption it strikes the word comfort.
II is not going to promise the impossible,
or to pretend that hanging on strap
with some one else standing on your feet
is comfort. Whichever way you choose
to regard it, the obliteration Of the word
bespeaks fine sense Of honesty in the
new company.
Safety, speed, courtesy, cleanliness,
light and heat'-will the public want
more than that from its new servant!
Comfort Is Ttopian.

sis was made of the lessons and they
were discussed at length showing the
good qualities and their adaptability
ito the children.
Teaching Temperance and Missions
to Children was then taken up by
Miss Edith NJ Nichols. The ques-
ton of the teaching of temperance in
the elementary grades was first tax
en- up by Miss Nichols. II was
shown that temperance could only
be taught by the positive method
that is, by teaching a child what 1t
should use, while the child was UNI
Q
der nine years of age. After that the
evil effects of certain things can be
taught. The question of teaching the
child missionary subjects was also
taken up by her Statistics show that
thirty out of every forty in the mis-
sionary work today chose this work
before they were twelve years of age
Therefore ii was said that children
should be taught missionary subjects
while in the elementary grades.
This was followed by discussion
of elementary work presided over by
Miss Nichols.
! Dinner was served at IL O'Clock By
the ladies of the Christian church, to

The STORE For RooKLovERs.

One of the few pleasures in life,
which is not the privilege of every
community to enjoy, is the opportun,
ity and privilege of going to a book
store and being able to get the book
which is desired. Honolulu has such
bookstore 1t is not meant by this
that Honolulu has a bookstore which
has on hand all of the books which
are in print today-that is something
impossible. But Honolulu does have
bookstore that is alive to the wants
of the book-buying public, and goes
to no end of trouble and expense TO
have the best and the most desirable
books on all subjects in their store.
The Crossroads BookshOp has made
some great strides in the past year
in the big problem of giving the book
buyers of the world just what they
want. The term book buyers of the
world is used because the trade Of
this establishment is greatly augment
ed by the tourists that pour into this
city continually. It's plans for the
coming year cover a large field and
the next twelve months will witness
even greater steps toward the deyel-
opment of this metropolitan book
store than have even taken place this
| past year,
