PURCHASING CLAUSE
ALTERED BY BOARD
City Alone Will Have the
Right to Purchase Plant
and No Company.
WANT OTHER CHANGES
Two Bidding Companies Be-
lieve that Further Chang
es Must Be Made.
WANT OTHER CHANGES

The expressed attitude of Demo-
commission, today influenced the
board of works to alter the purchasing
clause in the contract on which it
wants companies to bid for a water
franchise, SO that the city alone will
have the option of purchasing the wa
ter works plant.
The clause in the contract, which en-
abled the city to assign its option to
purchase to some other company at
the expiration of five years after the
contract was signed, was the stumbling
block that caused both the Richmond
City Water Works company and the
e. M. Campfield company to refuse
to bid on the plans and specifications
presented by the city.
The alteration adopted this morning
provides that only the city can pur-
chase the plant and it also prevents
the city from assigning the option to
purchase to rival water works com
pany.
City Attorney Gardner assured the
members of the board of works that
the establishment Of a public utility
commission is a certainty, and that it
would be good policy for the city to
1913 assembly before it granted fran
chises for water or gas.
Mr.. Campfield said today that 9th.
er clauses in the franchise would
have to be changed before his company
would bid.
Howard Dill, superintendent of the
Richmond City Water Works company
said the worst clauses have been regu-
lated. He would not say whether his
company would submit bid on the
altered plans and specifications, al
thought he did say the franchise was
more satisfactory to him that it was
formerly.
Good Water Here.
The price of water which is now
twenty-five cents per 1000 gallons, is
fair price, according to some of the
members of the board. Richmond has
better water than most cities in the
state and the plant which furnishes the
supply is forced to pay higher price
than most water works companies be-
cause of it's source, members of the
board aver. The water which is fur.
nished many cities comes from the riv-
ers.
The board decided to investigate the
water question in other cities where
circumstances are similar to those in
Richmond and. regulate the price ac-
cordingly. Mayor Zimmerman said the
price would be made low enough to the
company which gets the franchise SO
that it can be raised if necessary.
If the city can get a bid under the
present contract it will not wait
for the state legislature to pass a pub
lie utility commission law.
Other small matters concerning the
city's contract will also be changed.
City Attorney Gardner said the clause
regulating the kind of pump ought to
be regulated so that the company will
not be forced to buy a pump of a spe-
cial company.

McManigal Tells How Nc
Namaras Planned to Burn
a City and Blow Up the
Whole Panama Canal.
PLANNED ROBBERY
TO SECURE FUNDS
Incidentally They Figured on
Blowing Up Bridge Com
pany Officials and Loaded
Pullman Coach.
National News Association

John J. McNamara's plans to burn the
City of Los Angeles off the map; blow
up the Frick office buildings, Pitts
burg, containing the officials of the
American Bridge company; blow up a
loaded Pullman sleeper in which Mary
c. Dye, his former secretary, occupied
a berth; blow up locks of the Panama
Canal, being constructed by the Nc
Clintic-Marshall Construction COM
pany, and plans to get money to do
the depredations by organizing a
strong arm" gang to hold up wealthy
visitors to the Indianapolis Speedway,
in May, 1911, numbering half a dozen
persons If necessary, was testified to
by Ortie McManigal, king of the dyna-
miting squad, who resumed the wit
ness stand at the federal dynamiting
conspiracy trial today.
McManigal said that J. B. and ]. J.
McNamara outlined the plans to him
at the international headquarters, In
dianapolis, in April. 1911. Mcnamara
wanted McManigal to enlist in the
army in order to pull off the Panama
Canal job.
The plans to destroy Los Angeles,
according to McManigal. included the
blowing up of the city's water main to
destroy the water supply, and then set
fire to a large number Of buildings
simultaneously. McManigal said that
Mcnamara expected the executive
board to discountenanee the scheme,
but that he intended to go ahead with
the work If funds could be procured.
,"'I am afraid the executive board
is going back on me, but l am going
ahead with this work anyhow, and
I've got to have funds" Mcnamara
said, according to McManigal. THE
speedway races are coming off here
soon and I'll trail some of these rich
guys and then set my gang on them.
We may kill three or four of them, but
what the hell's the difference. We will
get 100000 or more and go ahead
with this work."
McManigal testified after Lindsey
Jewel of Panama had concluded his
testimony regarding the information
furnished him by Hockins. Jewel testi-
fled that Hockins had informed him Of
McNamaras plans to blow up the Off
GERS Of the American Bridge company
and to blow up the loaded Pullman car.
Jewel said that Hockins had declared
that President Ryan knew nothing of
the wholesale murder plan. Jewel also
testified that Hockins wanted the
Erectors' association to guarantee him
q two years job at $4,000 annual sal
ary in case he lost his job with the
union. >,
Judge Anderson did not take up the
matter of increasing the bonds of the
executive boards members, as was ex-
pected, this morning. Hockins is still
in tho custody Of the United States
marshal and Is carefully guarded to-
gether with the other two defendants
who are not now at liberty under
bonds.

house. When she arrived at the court
room the prosecuting witness, Mrs.

dered the state to discontinue the ex-
animation of it's witnesses until Mrs.
Huckemeier testified, in order that she
could return to the hospital. Mrs.
Huckemeier's testimony was received
and then she was taken back to the
automobile and hurried to the hos
pital.

ever. infirm old lady stopped and
kissed her grandson, who is said to be
her closest relative. II hope they won't
be too harsh on you," she said, her
voice choked with emotion.
Kelly was fined 500 and sentenced
to the county jail for a period of six
months. In passing sentence Judge
Fox said that he did not believe Kelly
had told the truth. He said that he was
inclined to believe the story told by
Mrs. Ross.
However. it is a case of outrageous
assault and battery" the court declar-
ed. According to the evidence the de-
fendant is not guilty of the charge in
the Indictment
According to the prosecution Kelly
asked Mrs. Rose to stay with his
grandmother on the night of Novern-

Fifth street, about 1915 O'Clock and
returned about IL o'clock with bottle
of whiskey which he had purchased as
