Ml! CHIEF HELD
FOR TIES HORROR
SECRETARY-TREASURER McNAM
ARA OF INTERNATIONAL UNION
OF IRON WORKERS CAUGHT.
MUCH DYNAMITE FOUND
Lztor Leaders Arc Charged With Dy
namiting Los Angeles
Times’ Plant.
Indianapolis, Hid. —After months ol
investigation, directed by William .1.
Rums, a New York detective, John
J. McNamara, international secretary
of the Bridge and Structural Iron
Workers of America, the headquar
ters of which are in Indianapolis,
was ai rested here charged with com
plicity in the dynamiting of the Los
Angeles Times on October 1, 1910,
and the plant of the Llevyellyn Iron
works at Los Angeles.
Twenty-one persons were killed
when the plant of the Los Angeles
Times was destroyed.
Four hours after McNamara was
arrested detectives found two quarts
of nitroglycerin and seventeen sticks
of dynamite in a barn three-quarters
of a mile west of Indianapolis. The
barn, the detectives say, was rented
by McNamara from T. H. Jones, the
owner.
Later investigation of the interna
tional offices of the union disclosed
in a store room in the basement o!
the building sixty-four sticks (about
sixty pounds of dynamite, 200 feet ot
fuse, 500 dynamite caps, one dozen
small alarm clocks and a leather case
made to carry a ten-pound can of
nitro-glycerin. Detective Burns took
possession of all the explosives.
McNamara’s arrest followed an in
vestigation lasting several months,
during which a force of detectives
have been in Indianapolis. Burns
himself made frequent trips to Indian
apolis, and was at all times in touch
with the force of detectives here.
Requisition papers from the gov
ernor of California having been sign
ed by Governor Marshall before the
arrest, McNamara was taken to po
lice headquarters, where he was ar
raigned immediately before Judge
Collins in police court. Twenty min
utes after McNamara had been seized
in the association headquarters In the
American Central Life building, in
which a meeting of the executive
board of the organization was just ad
journing, he was taken from the city
by four detectives in an ambulance.
Responsibility for other destructive
explosions in different parts of the
country would be placed as the re
sult of an investigation now in prog
ress, Detective Burns said.
Indianapolis, Ind. —Four hundred
pounds of dynamite were uncovered
in the heart of the city of Tiffin.
Ohio, according to information here
by Detective William J. Burns, who
left here secretly after having arrest
ed John J. McNamara, secretary
treasurer of the International Asso
ciation of Bridge and Strifbtural Iron
Workers, at the headquarters iu this
city.
PEACE IS IN SIGHT.
Five Days’ Armistice Signed by Lead
er Madero and Agent of Diaz.
Ela Paso, Texas.—An armistice ol
five days affecting the district be
tween Juarez and Chiuhuahua and
west of the latter city, was made ef
fective in an exchange of identical
letters signed by Gen. Francisco I
Madero for the rebels and Gen. Juan j
Navarro for the government.
The truce provides that there shall |
be no movement of troops of either j
side during the five days and that
provisions and medicines may be
brought to either camp from trie
American side without the payment j
of duty.
Ojinaga, where a small Federal
force is besieged, is not covered in
the armistice, the insurrecto activi
ties in that district being largly inde
pendent. However, the moral effect
of the cessation of hostilities in Chi
huahua is regarded as certain to
make settlement in other parts of
the country simple.
Wilson Wants Nomination.
Washington.—Gov. Woodrow Wil
son is to swing around the circle and
light the bonfires for his 1912 boom
for president. Following the govern
or's eminently successful experience
with the legislature just adjourned,
and coming close upon the format
launching of the Harmon boom by
the Democratic delegation from Ohio,
the report lias set political tongues
wagging. The three men now most
favorably considered for the nomina
tion are Harmon, Wilson and Clark.
Taft Advises Unitarians.
Washington.—A plea to all Unitari
ans to stand forth and aid the faith
and to provide in Washington a
“principal church’’ to correspond with
the cathedrals of other denominations
was made by President Taft at the
service in All Souls’ Unitarian church
of which he is a regular attendant. In
his address, made from the platform
of the church in the interest of a
movement for a large Unitarian edi
fice, he referred to the discussion of
his religious faith during his presi
dential campaign.

HARMON BOOM LAUNCHED
OHIO MEN MAKE DECLARATION
OF THEIR CHOICE FOR '
PRESIDENT.
Senator Pomerene Is the Leader of
the Governor Harmon
Campaign.
Washington.—The formal launch
ing of the boom of Governor Judson
Harmon of Ohio for the presidency
took place in the rooms of Senator
Pomerene of Ohio In the senate office
building.
Senator Pomerene sent out a call to
all the 16 Democratic congressmen
JUDSON HARMON.
Governor of Ohio.
.mu uhio to attend the meeting to
discuss the outlook and devise ways
and means of promoting Mr. Har
mon’s chances. All members of the
Ohio Democratic delegation were
present and it was stated by those
friendly that a unanimous declaration
in his favor will be made, probably
next week.
The Harmon boomers were in con
ference for several hours, all of the
congressmen participating in the dis
cussion. It was learned that tile prin
cipal matters considered were plans
of properly launching the Harmon
candidacy, and also the Democratic
candidate who might dim the Ohio
man’s chances for the nomination.
DIAZ WILL NOT RESIGN.
Madero's Demand Is Treated With
Derision.
Mexico City.—The excitement caus
ed in the United States by the news
that the reply of President Diaz to
the demands of President Taft was of
a defiant nature brought a quick
change of attitude on the part of the
Mexican government.
Dispatches telling of President
Taft's refusal to be stampeded into
an unfriendly act had much to do
with moderating sentiments of Presi
dent's Diaz’ advisers.
General Madero’s demand that
President Diaz resign to prevent an
attack on Juarez was greeted with
derision.
Cannon Speaks Against Reciprocity.
Washington.—Former Speaker Jo
seph S. Cannon held the floor of the
house in opposition to the Canadian
reciprocity agreement for three hours
and in a vigorous attack on Presi
dent Taft’s pet policy, insisted that
the proposed legislation was inimical
to the farmers. The gentleman whom
Henry Watterson of Louisville, Ky..
referred to as “that magnificent old
reprobate" displayed his proverbial
vigor and powers of endurance un
der the strain of three hours' contin
ous speaking.
Free List Before the House.
Washington.—The majority report
of the ways and means committee on
the so-called farmers’ free list bill,
submitted to the house by Chairman
Underwood, is a merger of Democrat
ic political argument and an analysis
of the proposed duty exemptions. The
report shows that the bill would re
duce the tariff revenue $10,016,495,
based on the importations for the last
fiscal years, an amount described as
'inconsiderable ix comparison with
the great saving from the additions
to the free list provided for.”
URGES SPLIT IN THE SOUTF
Secretary of the Treasury Makes ;
Notable Address Before South
# Carolina Bankers.
Summerville, S. C.—Secretary Mac
Veagh, speaking before the Soutl
Carolina Bankers' Association here
made a plea to the Southern state:
to break from one-party rule and be
come bi-partisan in their politics fo
thei rown good. He declared it U
be of fundamental importance tha
any party-governed nation shoult
have two available parties that tin
political life of all the people shal
be at its best.
"Two parties with at least fairly
equal chances of governing are re
quired in the work of governing th«
country, both locally and nationally,’
he said.
"1 do not speak as a Republican.’
he said. "I am a member of the Re
publican party, and 1 am a member
of it because I believe in it. 1 was
a member of the Democratic party
during Cleveland's time and I was
a member of it because I believed
Secretary MacVeagh discussed par
ty conditions in both the North and
South in a friendly spirit, and said
in it. But my interest in bi-party
politics is not the interest of a par
ty man, but is the interest of a cit
izen—of an American. 1 want you
to believe that my interest in seeing
the South under a two-party system
is wholly independent of the ques
tion whether cne party or the other
shall prevail.
“The important tiling to me is not
that any one party should win. It is
that there shall be two parties with
the possibility that either may win;
for this is party government in its
real meaning, and with its real equip
ment. If the South were alone con
cerned, bi-party everywhere would
still he a matter of sincere aspiration
to me. But the question is a larger
one —its importance is national.
"With the same parties established
everywhere, North and South, and
everywhere marshalling and dividing
the people on the same lines of
thought and action, the last stone will
have been added to the immovable
foundation of our perfect union. Our
dreams can all then come true and
no single sacrifice of the great and
terrible Civil war will remain with
out its reward."
Pai. -cn.cU Stripling.
Atlanta.—Thomas Edgar Stripling's
application for pardon has been de
clined by Governor Brown.
After fourteen years of liberty,
v. hich he achieved by breaking jail,
the man who slew W. J. Cornett in
the dead hours of the night in Har
ris county, in 1597, must don the
stripes of the convict and begin the
service of the sentence demanded of
him by the law for his crime, and
which will terminate only at the end
of his life.
From a life of respectability in
Danville, Va., where he had attained
by industry and sobriety to the office
of chief of police, and where, under
the assumed name of R. E. Morris,
he had come to be looked upon as a
man to be honored and trusted, he
must join the band of lost citizens,
and at the sacrifice of his liberty and
the forfeiture of all his rights, make
the atonement for his crime.
Piea. „ Untrue.
Albany, X. Y.—lnvestigation of the
charge made recently at the Method
ist conference at Saratoga by Rev. O.
R. Miller of the New York Civic
League, that a two hundred and fifty
thousand dollar fund had been raised
to force a Sunday baseball bill
through the New York legislature,
was concluded by the senate commit
tee on privileges and elections. It is
understood that the senate committee
will report to the senate that no evi
dence has been adduced to support
the charge.
Gould Controls Missouri Pacific.
New York. —Although recently forc
ed out of the position himself, George
J. Gould, opposing the Rockefeijfer-
Kuhn-Loeb interests, brought atSout
the electiolS of R. F. Bush as his suc
cessor as president of the Miissouri
Pacific railway, defeating David R.
Francis, former governor of Missouri.
Mr. Bush is president of the Western
Maryland railway. The victory of tin..-
Gould faction was followed by the an
nouncement of Kuhn- Loeb & Co’s
withdrawal as bankers for the sys
tem.
GEORGIA
NEWS
Washington, D. C. —Representative
William Schley Howard introduced a
bill to establish a subtreasury at At
lanta. The measure was referred to
the ways and means committee. It
is unlikely that the matter will be
considered at this session of congress,
as the Democratic program includes
the consideration only of tariff legis
lation and the investigation of the ex
ecutive departments. Savannah and
Birmingham are also contenders for
the institution. Atlanta has small
chance of winning the subtreasury, it
congress determines to locate one in
the Southeastern states. It is a mis
take for the commercial bodies of
Atlanta or the bankers to urge the
agitation of the matter at this time.
The cards are stacked in favor of
Birmingham, with Savannah the sec
ond choice.
Savannah. —Governor Plaisted of
Maine and Mrs. Plaisted reached the
city to spend some time in Savannah.
The governor has come South for a
rest after the session of the Maine
legislature. He says the outlook for
national success for the Democrats
next year was never brighter. Ex-
Governor Nance of Nebraska is stop
ping at the same hotel with Governor
Plaisted. The latter says Maine will
be placed in the local option column®
before very long.
Washington, ml). C. —The congres
sional reapportionment bill reported
to the house provides for a total
membership of 433, and gives one
new member to Georgia, it will pass ,
the house overwhelmingly. The only !
respect in which the bill differs from |
the C’rumpacker bill passed at the
last session is in the omission of the
provision for an automatic reappor
tionment by the department of com
merce and labor in future. There is j
seme opposition in the senate to the j
increase in membership on the lious*
side. Senator LaFollette, chairman j
of the census committee of the sen- !
ate. is the leader of this opposition, j
and it may become formidable.
Tennille.—At the primary, Hon. H.
M. Franklin, who has represented this
county in the legislature twice and
also served as mayor several times,
was elected mayor of the city of Ten
nille without opposition, and C F.
Brown and Iverson Lord were elected
members of the board of education of
the city. The aldermen elected to
serve the next two years are: 11. M.
Bashinski, Dr. E. B. McDade, G. H.
Wood, J. 11. Peacock, S.*C. 'Knox and
C. L. Brantley.
Savanfiah.—For the purpose of
starting a movement for the iuagura- J
tion of a highway from Savannah i
through Waycross, Valdosta, Thomas- j
ville and other points, a convention j
at Waycross has been called for the ;
latter part of May to launch the plan, j
The purpose is to tack on to the i
Great Southern highway at Savannah |
and lead away from here with a fine :
road through the prosperous counties j
of south and southwest Georgia into
Alabama and across the southern por- |
tion of Alabama, Mississippi and Lou- I
isiana into New Orleans. This road j
into south Georgia will give a con
venient route to Jacksonville, with
all ferries eliminated but King's fer
ry, and with as short a route as the i
present one. The counties directly j
concerned and those that will be ask- j
ed to send respresentatives to the j
Waycross convention are Chatham, !
Ware, Wayne, Liberty, Bryan, Thom- |
as, Brooks, Grady, Decatur, Lowndes, I
Pierce, Clinch, Mclntosh, Charlton ,
and Camden.
Savannah.—“l have never known j
illicit distillers to be so active as *
they are right now,” said Theodore i
Basch of the internal revenue de- j
partment, who returned from a “still
hunt” throughout north Georgia.
“The temptation to make corn liquor
is too strong for the fellows in the j
upper part of the state to resist it.
A man can take a bushel of corn j
for which he pays 75 cents, run it j
through a crude process of distilla- j
tion and get three gallons of corn j
liquor worth sl2. And they are do- !
ing it when they can get a chance.
They peddle the stuff in wagons and j
sometimes haul it a great distance to j
find a market. We intercepted a
mountaineer at Ellijay, en route to
Atlanta, with a wagon load of corn
whisky that he had brought from Bu- j
ford in Gwinnett county, and there
have been 126 illicit stills cut up by
revenue officers in this state within |
rhe past month.”
Oxford. —Regarding the published
statements that Emory and Wesleyan
colleges were likely to be merged
shortly, Dr. James L. Dickey denied
most emphatically that such a plan
was on foot. Publication of a story
in an afternoon Atlanta paper brought
to him the first intimation of ths
projected union.
Macon. —At a largely-attended j
meeting of the Wesleyan Alumnae as- ,
sociation plans were launched for the i
observance on May 29 of the 75th j
anniversary of the founding of Wes- i
levan college, the oldest exclusive fe- j
male college in the world. It is ex
pected that hundreds of ladies from |
ail over the South will come here to j
attend the exercises, which will be
of an elaborate nature.
Gainesville. —The city has complet
ed taking the census, the figures now
showing a total white and colored
population of 6,578. The government
census figures were 5,985.

Because your case is a difficult one,
