THE FIVE EXPLOSIONS
AT KANSAS CITY, MO.
Grand Jury Enlightened Regarding
Identity of the Dynamiters.

indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 25.-F1ve ex-
blossoms in Kansas City, No. all di-
rectsd against iron work contractors
who employed men on an open shop"
basis, were Investigated by the federal
grand jury today through Kansas City
police officials who are said to have
learned facts relative to the identity Of
the dynamiters.
Only one Of the explosions-that Of
Aug. 90, 1910. when bridge was dam
aged--is credited to Ortie McManigal.
Evidence that on the subsequent ex-
plosion and three previous ones were
arranged by men other than McMan-
igal and the Mcnamara brothers is
said to have been given the Jury. 1t
was also shown that Kansas City fig
ured in the dpnamiters' scheme to have
explosions occur in distant cities on
the same day, because the blowing up
Of viaduct there on July 26, 1909, was
simultaneous with the wrecking by
dynamite Of a bridge at Steubenville,
Ohio.
The destruction Of both these places
was declared to have been directed by
telegraph from indianapolis, the readi-
ness of the men at Steubenville and
Kansas City being announced by
code message. Carl Carson, livery
man who rented vehicles in which J.
]. Mcnamara and his 'dynamiting
crew. made trips to Muncie, Ind,
where quantities Of dynamite and
nitro glycerine were kept. also testi-
fed. Hundreds of pounds of explo-
sives later transported in suit cases to
various cities were said by Mechanical
to have been carried to and from

New York, Jan. 26.-Signor Caruso
has expressed contempt, ecorn and pity
for Signor Bonci, who in ST Louis
despatch was quoted IS saying that
Caruso didn't sing, but screamed"
Shown a copy of the despatch, the
greatest tenor of modern times went
red as a beet as he read it and for q
minute looked as If he were on the
verge OF exploding with wrath.
Fine! Fine! Finel" he exclaimed,
raising his voice with each word. Fine

Ha, hal And he can Sing? Yes?"
And Caruso rolled his eyes and glared.
"All right; he can sing. But l have
the money. I stay in New York all the
time and get the money"
He took q step, turned on his heel
and continued:
"Bonci he goes on the road to make
a living and / stay here and sing"
And Caruso smiled in satisfied tri-
umph at the contrast he had drawn
"Bonci with an Indifferent toss of the
head, let him go on the road and
sing.
II am too high" he added-going up
on the toes of his shiny patent leather
boots, and lifting his right hand as
far over his shiny tile as the length of
his arm would permit-"too superior
to waste any words in characterising
him. All I can do is scream. but" he
showed his teeth in an emphatic smile

Life and Dickens.

Some one has said of Charles Dick
ems that he was not afraid of being
melodramatic. 1t not one fault of our
more modern literature that it is 100
faultless? There is a certain snobbish
tyranny of taste which pals Wood
row Wilson has said that taste is un-
democratic. The culture which cannot
bear contact with coarseness is much
to blame for our social maladiust-
ments, he said. So the literary taste
which sympathiZes not with Rabel-
asian humor and disdains redundant
emotion is at odds with life
People live not by repression. AS
ceticism forms but a very small part
Of life. And it is asceticism to cut out
emotion, even excess emotion. with it's
boisterous laughter and too easy tears
Heaven forbid that from the one ex-
IRENE of chastened, white corpuscled
style" the other extreme of affected
forcefulness-of slang and unreal real
ism-should be reached. There is too
much of that now. 1t will never salts
fly 1t will not set a true standard or
mark literary epoch. But may we
have more of the big artist work which
is not agraid to be as untrammeled
and as filled with caricature as life
itself isi-Kansas City Star.

Orioin OF Life.

No one has the faintest idea how,
when or where life began. There
are all sorts of theories, but no abb
.solute certainty on the subject So
far, no experiment has succeeded In
producing life from non-living matter.
Almost the last words that the great
Huxley wrote was to the effect that
the theory of spontaneous genera
ton" was a failure. Many claims
have been advanced by those seek
ing to produce life in the laboratories
from various sorts of inanimate mat
ter, but in every case the claims
have gone up in smoke. We do not
know what life is or how it originated.
And the probability is We never will

something like $18 in jingles. When
he was arraigned in court that night
for begging his wife arose:

his own counsel. After he had been
toasted upon the judicial Goals he was
led away to give bail for his good con

-bathed, shaved, dressed up in well
pressed clothes and wearing polished
shoes-Paul gave his own story of
his double life.

Chicago, June 19-At 10 a. IN. Tues
day the big Coliseum building where
In the Republican national convention
was to be held, was opened to the pub
lie. The structure, immense as it is,
was wOefully inadequate to accommo-
date the enormous crowds that were
eager to find places where they might
see and hear the proceedings, and the
march on the building began early in
the morning, with the result that the
big structure was the center OF push
ing, shouting, impatient throng long
before the convention was scheduled
to be called to order.
Every seat in the Coliseum was
numbered, and a ticket bearing a cor
responding number was in the posses
sion of some lucky person. Without a
ticket no one was permitted to enter
the building.
There was a regiment Of ushers and
assistant sergeants at arms on duty in
the building to see that ticket-holders
got justice and to maintain order.
They were reinforced by $50 police
on the combined forces was to pre-
vent smoking in the convention hall.
This was police precaution for pub
lie safety.
While the convention assembled,
and at intervals in its proceedings,
several bands supplied music.
Precisely at 10 a. m. the building
was thrown open to the public, and
from that hour until shortly after noon
the visitors and assembled delegates
chatted among themselves and lis
tened to the music.
About 1915 Victor Rosewater of Ne
braska, chairman Of the Republican
national committee and said to be the
youngest man who ever held this re-
sponsible position, called the conven-
ton to order.
Mr. Rosewater did not make
speech A bare announcement of the
event, of the purpose Of the gathering,
with a suggestion that the convention
