WHO Is mlBLAME,

| Under the caption 1.-THE Expected
Happened" the Devils Lake Journal last
evening made the murder Of Haberly by
a negro the pretext for administering a
very severe and. we believe. undeserved
roast" to Chief Of Police w. I. Barnes.
It is generally understood that the AMI
mus Of the Journal ATTACK is the present
city administration. The present mayor
and the Journal never could agree, and
that newspaper has left no stone un-
turned in its efforts to discredit Mr.. Nc
Glory and the men composing the pre-
sent city council.
OF course the TRADE Of che Journal
does not alter the facts. It is admitted
by all who are willing to be fair that
W. I. Barnes is one Of the best police
heads in the state. It Is also admitted
that he has one Of the most difficult
cities to handle in the whole northwest.
But in its desire to wreak vengeance
on the city authorities the Journal is
not willing to admit this. In its insane
eaeerness to pick flaws and find fault
the chief Of police can by no stretch OF
the Imagination. be held responsible for
the tragic happening Of Tuesday evening.
In common with the departments Of
other cities Of like size. the Devils Lake
police department is overworked and
underpaid It is continually rounding up
and driving out Of town suspicious char
acters and It is hardly to be blamed it
one occasionally "gets BY"
non,il'o 1neo<ion onA ne
that 1t is great distributing point for
transient labor to the harvest fields
makes it certain that there always has
been and always will be an undesirable
class here during harvest and threshing.
This class NUT be watched but they
can hardly be driven out of town uulesa
they commit some overt act
Murder, unfortunately, is crime as old
as the human race. and such crimes
will continue to occur as long as the
race exists. But We submit that Devils
Lake, under the administration Of P. J.
McClory and with W. I. Barnes as chief
Of police. has been as free from these
tragedies as any city Of its size IN the |
United States, similarly situated. !
II the Journal had attacked the present |
prohibition law, which makes the selling !
Of liauor a crime without prohibiting its |
importation, instead Of the police depart
ment The World would have been I'm.
PEELED to concur. but as long as liquor
Is to be had. and as long as 1t is com.
posed of the ingredients which inhame
mems passions and make them temper
arily mad. Just 20 long viii crimes be
committed and occasionally murder done.
and this IL no more true Of Devils Lake
than It fs OF any other city in the state, I
no matter whether w. = I. +@Baihes-: or1
some man Of the Journals choosing be
In charge Of the police department.. =.

The campaign, With little more than
two weeks more to rum is crystalizins
from it's early stage Of utter confusion
Of tongues and contentious into some-
thing like the play of forces witnessed
in other presidential. years. The noisy
element is still with us, but as its pro-
portions are now known and it's prefer
ences proclaimed. appeal is being made
to the larger and more conservative body
Of voters who reserve their opinions un-
til a full and fair discussion can be had.
The. real issues are still obscured in q
measure by the. threshing out Of old
straw by the Clapp committee but this

tionaI Erectors Association, were among
the witnesses
1t is believed Foster had rather long
story to tell the grand jury. Considerable
Importance is attached to his evidence
by the government authorities. 1t is be-
lieved, as he has been in touch with the
erectors' association and the work Of as
certaining the names of persons other
than the McNamaras and McManigal,
who were in the dynamite plots.
1t was Foster, 1t is understood, who
carried on the negotiations for obtain
ing books, papers, letters and other doc
uments from the office of the Interna-
tional Association of Bridge and Struc-
tural Iron Workers for use by the gov
eminent as evidence in the dynamit1ns
cases. 1t is said the negotiations We're
conducted by Foster with H. s. Hockin.
| acting secretary-treasurer of the organ
ization, although Hockin. never has ad-
mitted that such was the case.
Relates Finding Of Dynamite.
Fosters testimony it is understood.
dealt with his work for the erectors
association, the confidential and secret
work he performed in ascertaining the
names Of persons who were connected
with the dynamiting plots.
The testimony of Chief Meyers Of the
Tiffin police, it is believed, dealt with
| the finding of dynamite at that place.
W. ]. Burns found dynamite stored in a
| shed on the property owned by o. +.
McManigaIs father in Tiffin, and at the
| time of the find Chief Meyers accom-
panied Burns to the place.
1t afterward was found that the dyna-
mite stored AT Tiffin was stolen from a
stone quarry at Bloomville. Ohio. twelve
| miles from Tifiin. McManigal formerly
was employed at the quarry. and the
owner Of the quarry told Detective Burns
| that McManigal was familiar with the
place and that he knew where the ex-
| plOsiveS were kept.
Investigate Juryman's Insanity.
The appearance of the Indianapolis Of
| ficers before the grand jury. and the fact
that Henry and Frank Jones, sons Of
! Daniel Jones, owner of the barn west of
| Indianapolis which was rented by j. J..
| Mcnamara. and where dynamite was
| stored. also were witnesses, indicated
with the local end of tho conspiracy.
Edward II. Davis. foreman of the Mar
| ion county grand jury at the time Prose-
cutor Baker took UP the local investiga-
ton, gave his testimony. The revelation
made by Prosecutor Baker concerning the
juryman driven insane by the Mcnamara
investigation, who imagined that he him.
self was John J. Mcnamara, is believed
to have been inquired into among other
things.
In appearing before the federal grand
jury Prosecutor Baker confronted Dis
trict Attorney Miller with whom he had
a wordy battle in the newspapers when
the investigation was started.
