Indianapolis, Dec. 29.-Weeping
women and wondering children looked

rion county Jail, after they had been
pronounced guilty of completely in
the Mcnamara dynamite plots, includ-
ing the blowing up of the Los Ange-
les Times building Oct. l, 1910.
Only two of the forty men on trial
left the courtroom free men. They

port, la.
The convicted men are to be sen
fenced shortly, at which time the de-
Tense will file an appeal, and if the
bonds fixed are not too heavy all the
defendants will be at liberty pending
review of the verdict By the United
States circuit court of appeals.
Some May Escape Lightly.
Some of the defendants, it is ex-
pected, will receive comparatively.
light sentences, as the court at diff
ferent times remarked. that it. had.
been, established that all were not
equally guilty. The longest term
that any of them can be sentenced to
serve is %thirty-nine and a half years.
The verdicts came after a trial last
ing more than three months and after
the jury had deliberated on its find
ilfgs. for more than forty hours. ORA
matte scenes accompanied. the pre-
s~entation of the verdicts, which ere
received. in deep silence. broken only
by suppressed sobbing of the, wives of
the convicted men. >
All those ad1udged guilty, were
found guilty on all the counts as
charged in the indictments.
After Judge Anderson had cleared
the courtroom of all spectators and
the families of the defendants the
thirty eight prisoners were taken In
custody by deputy United States mar
shals and special detectives and were
taken to the Marion county jail.
Not Accused Of Dynamitins.
The men we're not charged actually
with causing explosions. The only
charges under which they could be
prosecuted by the federal government
were conspiracy and illegal transpor-
tation of explosives. But the court
ruled that evidence as to violence was
competent as showing motive.

TRAINLOAD OF TRUCK AUTOS
FOR THE PACIFIC COAST

SAN FRANCISCO, May 27.-That
the automobile as a commercial vehi-
Gle has come to stay is evidenced by a
special train of twenty-six cars loaded
with 154 trucks now en- route from
Chicago to the Pacific coast. The
trucks were shipped by the Lincoln
Motor Works at Chicago on May 10,
consigned to b. F. Taylor & company
of Los Angeles. They are valued at
$4,000.
Solid cars will be sent to San Fran
cisco, Los Angeles, Portland, Seattle
and Vancouver, B. c., from where they
will be distributed throughout Cali
fornia, Nevada, Oregon, Washington
and British Columbia. They are rout-
ed via the Rock Island, Ell Paso and
Southwestern and Southern Pacific
lines.
This shipment is the largest ever
made of purely commercial power driv-
en- machines. There have been ear
loads of auto trucks before and trains
of pleasure automobiles, but this is
the first train of its kind ever sent to
the coast. 1t is freely predicted that
this movement and Others of its kind
to follow mean a general replacement
of horse drawn wagons and trucks
throughout the west.

Yesterday !. j. Williams and W. S.
O'Brien came in from Sunshine, and
reported the camp in a flourishing
condition. This new camp enjoys
unique distinction, from the fact that
every claim owner who performed any
amount of labor. over and above his
location work has struck ore in paying
quantities, which is more than can be
said of any other camp in the state.
The ala Plata claim. on which
Mr.. Williams made rich strike about
ten days ago, is sinking proposition
For the present the shaft will be pros
ecuted with windlass and bucket,
but if present values hold out with
depth. gosoline hoist will be in

Already there are five producing
mines in camp, namely, the Superla-
tive, Diamond c, Morning Sun. La
Plata and Landrum property.
This Morning Messrs. Williams and

PORTLAND AUTO CLUB
TAvORS POWERFUL SIGNAL

The directors of the Portland (Ore.)
Automobile club have put the ban on
the "honk, honk" type of automobile
horn.
In recent meeting, resolutions
were adopted calling their members
attention to the fact that "the wise
use of an adequate warning signal rs
the most efficient aid in the prevention
of accidents. - To this end they roe
ommend the observance of the provis-
ions of the so-called Chicago ordi-
nance. which requires the use of a
signal producing can abrupt SOUND
sufficiently loud to serve as an ade-
quate warning of danger, but re-
stricts its use to times when necessary
to sound a warning of danger.
In this connection, the club also re
solved to discourage the use of made.
quate warning signals "as they tend
to increase. rather than reduce, the
possibility of accident.
In taking this stand the Portland
Automobile club is following the ex-
ample of a score of cities throughout
the country. which have determined on
this method of reducing unnecessary
soise to a minimum, and at the same
time enforcing the use of an ADEQUATE
signal device for the protection OF the
public.
In his report, w. J. Clemens, presi-
dent of the club, makes reference to
the courtesy due from one motorist TO
another, and from the motorist to the
public in general, and states that IN
no phase of motoring is this more evi-
dent than in the use of the warning
signal. A harsh signal must be used
but il must be used properly-to give
fair and reasonable warning when
necessary. Mr.. Clemens declares ,na'
the diseourteous, selfish 'ridine
type of motorist, who represents ou'
small minority of automobile drivers,
is the cause of any hostile feeling tha'
the public may have towards the mo
torist. and maintains that this is eaus,
ed not only by reckless driving ana
unlawful speeding, but by nnwarran,
ed and unnecessary use of the wornine
signal.

ALABAMA MlNSTRElS
PLAY TO capacity HOUSE

The Alabama Minstrels did not ar
rive in Winnemucca from Lovelock
until Sunday afternoon on No. 4.
Manager Erickson then decided that
it was too late to erect his tent and
give the usual street parade as well,
so he made arrangements with Manag-
er Smith to use the Nixon opera house
for an evenings performance. This
fact was announced during the street
parade, and the result was that when
the box office opened at O'Clock a
line formed that reached out into the
street and every seat in the house was
sold out before the show opened at
$50 O'Clock
Winnemucca was hungry for a negro
minstrel show, and the Alabamas
filled the bill IN every particular. The
olio proved popular, the end man
Watts, who possesses not only a pow
erful bass voice but is a comedian as
well furnishing an entertainment in
himself. A feature of the show was
two female minstrels, whose acts were
pleasing. The slack rope walker and
the hoop act drew salvos of applause.
To the Silver State Manager Erick-
son stated that Nevada was the ideal
state for minstrel or any other kind
of shows, as the people here seemed to
have nothing but coin. He said he
had made so much money in the state
that he was beginning to wonder if it
was all "real money!

FARMERS LOSE
THEIR WATER SUIT

More than 10000 farmers on recla-
nation projects of the west will he af-
feeted by the Supreme Courts decis-
ion yesterday that they must paw to
the government the cost of maintain
ing and operating the various reclama-
tion projects, pending their compile
tion.
The decision was in the suit by d.
p. Baker and other farmers on the
Sunnyside unit of the Yakima, Wash,
project, to have the reclamation
service enjoined from cutting stf the
water supply to enforce collection of
such charges, imposed under instrue-
tion of the secretary of the Interior
in 1902.
Nearly million dollars have al
ready been collected by the govern
ment. Half a million more is about
due.
Justice Lamar announced the
courts unanimous decision, ard de-
clared that congress intended the
settlers should pay the cost of ,aain.
tenanee and operation.
In this case the defendant refused
to pay the assessments on the
ground that the assessment vas not
provided for under the rec amation
laws. He won favorable decisions in
the state court and the Federal Dis
trict Court at San Francisco.
Among the systems affected by this
decision are the Orland project, Cali
fornia; Klamath project, Oregon and
California. and Truckee Carson pro
iect. Nevada.

HOBO QUEEN CREATES
LIVELY SCENE IN SPOKANE
(Snecial To fhA Silver Sfafal

SPOKANE, WASH, May 81
Georgia, the boxcar queen,' after

land to Spokane on the blind baggage
and in boxcars, created a near riot at
the police station by trying to whip
the force.
Although she calls herself Georgia
Mccarthy and says she comes of
wealthy family in the east, she re-
fuses to tell anything more about her
self. Attired in a neat tailored suit,
new tan shoes, and wearing rings that
cost more than the average person
spends for jewelry, the "boxcar

better days. She is well educated.
That she is considerable of an ath-

Georgia they were going to take her
for an automobile ride, the officers
took her to the street, where R. w.
Roberts, photographer for the Spokes-
man Review, was in hiding.
Roberts got the picture, also a
couple of athletic kicks on the shins.
The irate traveller tried to break up
$500 worth of camera for Mr.. Rob-
erts, too.
Before coming to Spokane the
feminine queen of the side-door Pull
man rode the front end of fast mail
train from Portland to Tekoa, Wash.
At home near her disembarking sta

charged with having taken a watch.
That accounts for her arrest and sub
