time that the wounds would prove
fatal but later reports are that Robin

Pimentel was committed to the

Especial Dispatch 10 The Call

Especial Dispatch 10 The Call
WASHINGTON. Feb. At the
eleventh hour President Taft has
changed his mind about the successor
to the late Justice Harlan, and Judge
William c. Hook of Kansas has been
eliminated from consideration. The
vacancy Will probably be filled by the
appointment of Secretary of Commerce
and Labor Charles Nagel of st. Louis.
1t Is said that Hooks name has been
wiped off the slate on account of a Jim
Crow decision in an Oklahoma rail-
road case, in which an attempt was
made to obtain dining and sleeping car
privileges for negroes. The court.
Judge Hook concurring. decided that 1t
was optional with the railroad to fur
nish these accommodations for negroes.
Both President Taft and Attorney Gen
eral Wickersham hold that Hook went
too far" in this case, and Secretaries
Knox. Stimson and Fisher concur This
was the reason why the president
scratched Hooks name today.
Both Wickersham and Hitchcock join
in urging Nagel's appointment Nagel
is 63 years old. and although a lawyer
of wide practice, has had no judicial
experience

looms May Lead to Death

TRUCKEE, Feb. w. II. NJ. Smith,

prietor of the Whitney house and of
the winter carnival attractions, was
shot twice by P. NJ. Doyle, merchant

The shooting took place in the post

keeper of the Tahoe inn at Lake Tahoe
who had postcard torn from his hand
by one of the bullets fired by Doyle.
The trouble between Smith and
Doyle is of long duration. Smith,
through his newspaper. has been wag-
ing a crusade against the saloons of
Tuckee and against Doyle as being
lined up with them. Some time ago a
newspaper, the Independent, was start
ed in Truckee to fght the Republican.
and Smith blamed Doyle for this move
Doyle had an attachment served on
Smiths paper not long ago for an elec-
trio light bill.

Bride Lost, Maybe
Land, for Baking
At Church Wedding


SAN JOSE, Feb. lit de-
veloped during the proceedings
in the superior court today that
the refusal of young Thomas
Silver of Milpitas to acquiesce
to a church wedding lost him
bride and that it may cost him
a farm.
In an action brought by the
lads father to set aside a deed
to the farm in question, the old
man testified that he conveyed
the place to his son on con-
dition that he should marry-his
pretty neighbor, Miss Annie
Ramos, and that they would
make their home on the land.
He wants the deed set aside, as
the conditions under which the
transfer was made have not
been complied with.
The young woman, who is
now Mrs. Carroll L. Garcia, tes-
tilted that she was engaged to
young Silva, but that she broke
the engagement when he re-.
fused to have church wedding.

Dynamite Conspiracy Warrants
to Be Served simultaneously
throughout the Country

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 7.-Capiases for
named in the 80 indictments. returned
by the federal grand jury in the dyna-
mite conspiracy cases, with certified
copies of the indictments We're COM
pIeted today in the expectation that the
arrests mi ght be effected within FIVE
probably next Monday.
Although the men are scattered from
Boston to the Pacific coast. the papers
for their apprehension have been so
arranged that they are to be arrested
and afforded an opportunity to give
bond on the same days and as nearly
as possible within few hours. The
bond, said for all the men to aggre-
gate 5000 900, is to be asked for their
appearance in Indianapolis March 12,
when they are to be arraigned before
Federal Judge Anderson.
The necessity of the government to
take into custody so many prisoners
located in at least 20 different cities
within a given time, SO that, through
premature arrests, one defendant, by
dema nding a copy of his indictment.
may not reveal the names of his al
legged co-conspirators. is regarded as
unusual.
kilograms announcing the return of
the indictments are said to have been
forwarded from United States District
Attorney Miller's Office today to au-
thorities in various federal districts
where arrests are to follow.
while there will be no haste in
making arrests, it will be done as soon
as possible" said Miller. Many in
quiries have come asking for the exact
day. but we have declined to answer.
Frank M. Ryan, president of the In
ternational Association of Bridge and
Structural Iron Workers, at the head
quarters here. where J. ]. Mcnamara
formerly had his Offices, said today he
had made no plans for the defense of
any of the men.
There will be time enough to think
Of that when we learn who have been
indicted. said Ryan.
