M.--Ortie E.McMan- igal and J. B. Brice, or J. B. McNatnara, arreted ai Detroit, Mich., for com­ plicity in the alleged dynamiting of the Los Angeles Times building in Oc- tobed last passed through here on their way to Los Angeles, in the cus­ tody of detectives on the California Limited or" the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad. They were pre­ ceded on an earlier train by John J. McNamara, secretary-treasurer of the International Bridge and Structural iron Workers' union, also under arrest for complicity In the wrecking of the Times buiJding, in charge of three of­ ficers who were taking him to Los Angeles to stand trial. Two other men, Harry Kaplan and Matt Schmidt, now under indfttment j in Los Angeles for complicity in the dynamite outrage, are expectc-d to be taken into custody at any moment. The two McNamaras and McMani- gal are charged with being implicated in dynamite outrages in which 112 lives were lost and $3,500,000 of prop­ erty destroyed in various cities of the country. The greatest precautions are being j taken to guard J. \Y. McNamara and | McManigal on the train. Both are leg I ironed and handcuffed. Not only do the detectives fear an attempt at res- i cue, but they know that efforts are j being made to prevent by legal means the prisoners from being taken to Los ! Angeles. Union labor leaders all over J the country are declaring that the ar- | rests made in the dynamite outrages I are a conspiracy and that the men were "kidnaped." ! There is particular attention being I paid by the officers to McManigal, as ! he is said to have made a confession i which implicates the others named. | This confession was obtained in Chi- | cago at the home of Detective Wil­ l i liam Reed, where McManigal and Mc- I N'amara were taken on April 13 after J they bad been arrested in Detroit April 12 bt operatives of the W. J. Burns agency and by the Chicago po­ lice. McManigal was "sweated" while at the detective's home, promised par­ tial immunity and finally appealed to to tell what he knew for the sake of his wife and children. He is then said to have broken down and told of the dynamite outrages in which he is con­ cerned. The confession includes, it is de­ clared, ninety pages of typewritten matter, and is now being taken to Los Angeles with the prisoners. The sworn copy of the confession, as well as McManigal and McNamara and their guard of police, came near to being blown out of existence, it was learned when an automobile in which they were riding and carrying dyna­ mite and nitroglycerin as evidence ran into a roadside ditch and almost turned turtle. The prisoners were being hurried from South Chicago to Joliet to take the Overland Santa Fe train and had got as far as Frankfort--thirteen miles from Joliet--when the mishap occurred. The prisoners, guards and the Los Angeles prosecuting officials, badly frightened, climbed from the au­ tomobile and went to the one Frank­ fort hotel for the night, as it was too late to catch the train. The party remained quietly at the hotel and went to Joiiei on an inte^- urban car, leaving on the Overland train 24 hours later than they had in­ tended. Presumably as the result of infor­ mation given by McManigal in his statement to the detectives, operatives of the Burns agency and their chief himself were heard of during the day in a half dozen widely separated cities investigating clues and finding cor­ roborative proof of the confession in the discovery of the plants, the dis­ closures of circumstances attending various explosions, and the finding of results, all in keeping, it is said, with the confession details. In his alleged confession McManigal is said to have denied any complicity In the Los Angeles Times building dis­ aster. He, however, is said to have admitted he went out to Los Angeles last December In an attempt to de­ stroy the temporary building of the Times and to have implicated the two McNamaras and Kaplan and Schmitt in the Los Angeles affair. McManigal is said to have declared that al! of the operations in which he took part occurred within the last two years.

Child Lived on Free Lunch. Trenton, N. J.--Joseph Smith, 38 years old, was placed under bail on charges of wilfully neglecting his wife and children, girls five months and, five years, respectively. It is charged in the complaint that the only food given the older child was the free lunches from barrooms, where the father would take her while he bought liquor. Smith was told in no uncertain words the sort of a father he is by Judge Harris. trlbuted to his activities and those of his partners, however, have occurred within a period of five years. According to the police McManigal said he got his orders for the 'work he and McNamara did dlfect from "headquarters." 1 I it was his evidence, they declared* that led to the arrest ot johu J. Mc­ Namara in Indianapolis. As yet no trace has been discovered as to how McNamara and McManigal, who, ac­ cording to McManigal, did the actual work in arranging bomb explosions, got the money lor this work. McMan­ igal is said to have been well supplied and dynamite wnich has beeu uncov­ ered in various parts of the country must have cost considerable'money. Three or four hundred pounds of dynamite were dug up by Detective Burns and his aids at Tiffin, O. More was obtained, it was claimed, at Indianapolis on the night McNamara was arrested, and electrical appli­ ance^ clock works and similar in­ struments are said to have been found both at the home of McManigal in Chicago and that of J. W. McNamara in Cincinnati. The arrests marked the end of one of the most thrilling criminal hunts ever recorded. Many times detectives knew in advance that certain explo- r. • n n r. + <1 nlo/%0 OYtH H P r/lH oiuuo ncii IU WMM u&iVU not prevent them lest they warn the quarry of their presence. For six months, during which more than a dozen bomb outrages have been staged by the "wrecking crew," its members never have been out of the sight of a detective. All this time the men were being sought by regular police in the cities in which they were operating, but never once, despite the omnipresence of posters describing their appearance accurately, were they molested by the authorities. It was the peculiar clockwork bomb, delicate, yet wonderfully sure, used by the dynamiters that yielded the first ciue resulting in the exposure of their identity. A few weeks before the Times building was destroyed an attempt was made to blow up a bridge at Pe­ oria, 111. An error had been made in the adjustment of the machine and it failed to explode. It was found by a watchman and turned over to detec­ tives employed by the-Erectors' asso­ ciation--the national body of open- shop contractors, against whom the hand of the "wrecking crew" had been turned. After the dynamiting of the Times building, similar bombs were found planted near the residence of Gen­ eral Otis, publisher of the Times, and Felix J. Zeehandelaar, secretary of the Merchants' and Manufacturers' association of Los Angeles. Passers- by heard the clockwork ticking, dis­ covered the source of the ominous sound and turned the infernal ma­ chines over to the police. Comparison of the machine found at Peoria and those picked up at Los Angeles convinced the detectives that the dynamitings had been planned by the same person and carried out by his agent or agents. Indianapolis, Ind.--Three men were arrested here on charges of kidnaping in connection with the arrest of J. J. McNamara, secretary and treasurer of the International Association of Bridge and Structuarl Iron Workers. They were Walter Drew, counsel for the Na­ tional Erectors' association; W. J. Ford, assistant district attorney at Los Angeles, and Frank Fox, a chauf­ feur. A warrant charging kidnaping also has been issued against William J. Burns, the detective who has been in­ vestigating the charges of a bomb con­ spiracy by the labor leaders, and who caused the arrest of McNamara, his brother, and Ortie McManigal. Drew and Ford were with Burns at the time McNamara was arrested. In the information filed against them it is charged that though McNamara was not turned over to a detective sergeant from Los Angeles until Gov­ ernor Marshall had honored requisi­ tion papcie ffOiii tlic gOVciiioi uf v^ail- fornia, he was not permitted to con­ sult with counsel or to make a plea of resistance to extradition before Po­ lice Judge Collins when he was identi­ fied as the man named in the warrant for his arrest. Fox was accused t)f having aided the kidnaping, as he was the driver of the automobile in which McNamara was taken to Chicago to be placed aboard a train for Los Angeles. Drew and Ford were released under bond of $5,000 each and Fox under bond, of $3,000. The charges against the men prob­ ably will come before the grand jury, which today began an investiga­ tion into the Indianapolis end of the alleged bomb conspiracy as Frank P. Baker, county prosecutor, is deter­ mined t» give both sides a square deal. Mr Baker said that the grand jury's Investigation would go into intima­ tions that there was a conspiracy against the iron workers' association and its officials resulting in the "plant­ ing" of the dynamite, to create evi­ dence against them, in their office buliding Eight-Wheeled Auto.

I#"T I ft&Ju U .uELifl f III I RECIPROCITY MEASURE GOES THROUGH HOUSE DESPITE REPUBLICAN OPPOSITION. MAWY AMENDMENTS OFFERED Bill, Which Now Goes to Senate, Gets Almost Solid Support of the Democrats--Pinal Roll Was 264 to 89. Washington.--By the decisive vote of 264 to 89 the house of representatives passed the Canadian reciprocity tariff measure, marking the close of a six . days' fight Ten of the opposing votes were cast by the Democrats and the other 79 by Republicans. A majority of the Republicans in the house voted against the measure, and the fears of President Taft were realized, namely, that the reciprocity measure would go through by Democratic votes alone. At the last minute the president sum­ moned a group of Republican oppo­ nents of reciprocity to the White House and made a personal appeal to them, but without avail. The bill now goes to the senate, where strenuous efforts are to be made, through amendments and other­ wise, to defeat It. Announcements that such was the plan of opposing senators were made during the fight in the house. Most startling in their nature were the explanations given by Chairman Underwood of the ways and means committee, of plans that had been adopted by great trusts, monopolies and interests to defeat the reciprocity bill. That fight is still on and will have to be met in the senate. Despite protestations of unchanging support of progressive legislation, Ir­ vine L. Lenroot of Wisconsin and George Norris of Nebraska, progres­ sive leaders, lined their following up in opposing the bill behind a handful of the old guard of stand-patters. The contention of the progressives was that the bill was amendable and that it could be changed by giving Canada free trade. They held to this insistently, in the face of positive as­ surances from President Taft, the state department and the commission­ ers who framed the pact, that any chasgc WCUld SC-nd the agreement back to the commissioners with the certainty that this would defeat it. The record vote came on final pass­ age of the bill, nearly everyone insist­ ing on it. Ten Democrats voted against the tariff pact and 79 Repub­ licans. This was a majority of the Republicans voting. Among the op- penents of the bill were nearly all the progressive Republicans of the house. MOB LYNCHES NEGRO DRAGGED OUT ON OPERA-HOUSE STAGE AND HANGED. Grim Audience in Orchestra Pit. Fire Volley at Victim as His Feet Leave the Floor. Livermore, Ky.--Will Potter, a ne­ gro, was dragged upon the stage of the opera house and hanged and his body riddled with bullets. He had shot and killed Frank Mitchell, twenty- two years old, white, in a quarrel. With his hands tied behind him the negro, shivering and trembling, was dragged from the basement of the opera house, where he had been hid­ den by Marshal Stabler and tied up on the stage. The mob took Its place in the or­ chestra pit, the lights were turned on, the curtain was rung up on the most weird scene which ever graced a stage in America. At a word from the lead­ er fifty shots rang out and the hanged negro fell dead to the stage. The cur­ tain was lowered and in silence the men went out into the night, leaving the black, who had taken the star role in the death drama, behind them on the boards. The authorities used all secrecy they could, but the lockup, a flimsy affair, was of little service, and in thei hope of eluding the mob the officers: carried the negro to the theater and hid him in the basement. Some one saw them hurry the negro into the side entrance, and the hiding place was told to the leader of the mob, who had his men surround the building, and the prisoner was de­ manded from the authorities. They refused, but when they realized that it meant not only death to the black, but also to the men who were trying to defend him, he was turned over to the crowd. What Potter and Mitchell quarreled about will never be known. They were in a poolroom, and when they got into trouble Mitchell started home. As he was walking up the street toward his home the negro ran after him and fired a bullet through his breast. It was soon noised about the town and a mob of half a hundred citizens began searching for the black. They did not find hlm until the leader was told where the officers were in hiding. When Sheriff Beeler arrived from Cal­ houn, having made the journey in a fast motor boat, thee was nothing for uiui to uu uui take cum^e of ine body that still lay on the stage, the glare of the footlights revealing in Its entirety the deadly work of the mob.

BLAST ENTOMBS 23 EXPLOSION WRECKS OTT MINE NEAR ELK GARDEN, WEST VIRGINIA. • ALL BELIEVED TO JBE DEAD tons of Debris Block Re8cuersr-4I(M0 Feet From Buried Men--One Body Is Brought Out. Elk Garden, W. Va.--Twenty miners were entombed in Ott mine No. 20 of the Davis Coal and Coke company, near here, by an Explosion that wrecked the mine. There is not believed to be one oh»nce in a thousand that any one of the men is still alive. As tons of debris are blocking the way, it is not expected that most of the victims will be reached for a day or two. One body has been recovered. The cause of the explosion has not been determined. That the disaster was not even more dreadful Is due to the fact that digging of coal had beeu suspended temporarily and a reduced force was cleaning the workings. Whether the explosion was due to gas or dust will not be known until a complete investigation has been made. As soon as the accident occurred Superintendent Grant organized res­ cue corps and entered the mine, after notifying officials of the company at the headioffices in Cumberland, Md. The rescue parties had not ad­ vanced far into the workings before they discovered the obstruction. It then was decided to effect an en­ trance nearer the probable point of the explosion by cutting through the wall of an adjoining mine owned by the same company. The rescuers have penetrated to the No. 20 mine at a point about 4,000 feet from the outside entry. There still remained about the same dis­ tance to go before reaching the buried miners. The Ott mine No. 20 is almost di­ rectly under the town of Elk Garden which is on a hill. The moutji of the mine is about half a mile from the town, down the hill.

STEAMER ASIA GOES DOWN All Passengers and Crew Are Saved From Sinking Vessel Off Finger Rock, China. Tokyo --The Pacific mail steamship Asia, from Hongkong for San Fran­ cisco, has sunk off Finger Rock, South China. The passengers are reported rescued and the malls saved. The Asia struck while feeling her way cautiously through a thick fog, in the direction of Shanghai. Her wireless signals of distress were picked up by the steamer Amer­ ica of the Toyo Kisen company, which was en route from Shanghai for Hong­ kong. The latter vessel immediately replied: "We are coming to your assistance." No further message was received by the America, which pushed hard in the direction of the Asia. The Amer­ ica arrived off Finger Rock, but owing to the fog. which continued heavy, was unable to discover the where­ abouts of the distressed steamer.

COOK OUTDID THE SCHOLAR Maybe Sign Was Not All Good Latin, but She Translated It Without ,\m Difficulty. ?- Jack returned home from college, where he had won high honors aTa student of ancient languages, but he pleaded ignorance one day when his young sister asked him to translate a sign she had seen of an optician's Which read thus: "Con sultu sabo utyo urey es." Jack struggled manfully with it ttf peveral minutes and gave it up. "There are some words In it tMt are Latin. The others aren't* anyhow. It doesn't make sense." "That ie what I said," replied his sister. "But cook translates It with­ out any trouble. She says it means 'Consult us about your eyes.'" "ECZEMA ITCH I COULD D SO I N'T STAND IT." "I suffered with eczema on my neck for about b!x months, beginning by little pimples breaking out. I kept scratching till the blood came. It kept getting worse, I couldn't sleep nights any more. It kept itching for about a month, t£en I went to a doc­ tor and got some liquid to take. It seemed as if I was going to get bet-, ter. The itching stopped for about three days, but when it started again was even worse than before. The ec­ zema Itched so badly I couldn't stand It any more. I went to a doctor and he gave me some medicine, but It didn't do any good. We have been having Cuticura Remedies in the house, so I decided to try them. I had been using Cuticura Soap, so I got me a box of Cuticura Ointment, and washed off the affected part with Cuticura Soap three times a day, and then put the Cuticura Ointment on. The first day I put it on, it relieved me of Itching so I could sleep all that uigiic. It took about a week, then I could see the scab come off. I kept the treatment up for three weeks, and my eczema was cured. "My brother got his face burned with gunpowder, and he used Cuti­ cura Soap and Ointment The peo­ ple all thought he would have scars, but you can't see that he ever had his face burned.

DAME NATURE HINT8 When the Food Is Not Suited. When Nature gives her signal that something is wrong it is generally with the food; the old Dame Is always faithful and oni should act at once. To put-off the change is to risk that which may be irreparable. An Ari­ zona man says: "For years I could not safely eat any breakfast I tried all kinds of breakfast foods, bnt they were all soft, starchy messes, which gave me distressing headaches. I drank strong coffee, too, which appeared to benefit me at the time, but added to the head­ aches afterwards. Toast and coffee were no better, for I found the toast very constipating. \ "A friend persuaded me tc^ault eof- fee and the starchy breakfast foods, and use Postum and Grape-Nuts In­ stead. I shall never regret taking his advice. "The change they have worked in me is wonderful. I now have no more of the distressing sensations in my stomach after eating, and I never have any headaches.
