Brothers Confess CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE life imprisonment for James B. McNamara, tho confessed murder, and probably fourteen years for his brother. The men's lives are considered saved. The great question that the Los Angeles Times was not dynamited is dead beyond any doubt or argument. Friday night as the two brothers sat together in the county jail ’ refusing to see any one or make a statement, an interest, second only to the occurrence Itself, hung about the question with reference tc James B. McNamara, “Why did he confess?” To this opposing counsel gave the same answer. "H« confessed because he was guilty, and that is all there is to it.” declared District Attorney Fredericks. “He was counseled to confess, because that was the best thing that he could do, in the opinion of counsel,” said Attorney Clarence S. Darrow, chief counsel. ‘‘l will say now that there was no other reason or motive in it. I’ve studied this case for months. It presented a stonewall.” ERIE DERAILMENT. Another derailment was caused by the interlocking system Friday noon when an Erie eastbound local, which was switching in the yards, exceeded the limit and backed a car and the tender off the derail which guards the entrance to the main track. They were running down to get on a spur track and did not notice that the block was closed, so they backed a car off the derail and before the train could be stopped, the tender of the engine followed also. The train crew made some heroic efforts to replace the derailed cars by the use of the frogs but the tender, running into a bed of soit cinders, threatened to turn over and the wreck crane was summoned from Huntington. They arrived about 7 o'clock and worked until 10, when the wreck was cleared up. The section men wore forced to work all night to replace the damaged track and this morning the scene of the wreck is in as good shape at before. No delay in traffic resulted, as the occurrence was on the east passing track. Mrs. Paul Miller, who was operated upon yesterday, is much better, having spent a very restful night.

IN COURT ROOM; . , Adams County Teachers Association Holds Thanksgiving Institute. A GREAT INTEREST The Many Well Studied Numbers Were Received i With Pleasure. i The Adams County Teachers’ association convened in the Adams county circuit court room with L. E. Opliger, county superintendent in charge, I oilowing the devotional exercises, led by Rev E. A. Goodwin, of the United Brethren church, the association listened to a selection by the ladies quartet of Berne. The first number on the program was oration on “The Influence of the Teacher Upon the Life of a Child,” by Clarence Beck, principal of the Linn Grove schools. Mr. Beck urged the imitation ot the good in former teachers and argued in favor of the betterment of our schools along lines of morals and citizenship. The next number was '‘Primary Reading,” by Miss Congleton, one of the primary teachers of Decatur. Miss Congleton illustrated three methods of primary instruction. Professor East, principal of the Monroe high school, discussed “The Teacher of Tomorrow.” Mr. East illustrated by reference to the McNamara trial The teacher should have back-bone, enough to stand firm on all questions. ; The discussion of the subject was given by Professor Huff, superintendent of the Berne schools. Mr. Huff stated that invariably the teachers who made the greatest failures as teachers were those who could pass the examinations with the highest grades cf license. Following Mr. Huff's discussion, the association was favored by a piano duet by Miss Boer and Miss Opliger of the Linn Grove high ! school. The number was favorably ' received. W. L. Thornhill, trustee of Wabash township, discussed the I subject, “The Mission of the Public I Schools.” At this time the county superintendent sprang a surprise on the institute by suggesting a plan of reor-

ganization. A motion was made to adopt the plan and a nominating committee was elected as follows: Union township, William Hirschy; R oot Martin Jaberg; Preble. Lewis Adler; Kirkland, James Brown; Washington, William Faurot; St. Mary’s, B. S. Colter; Bluecreek, W. H. Miller: Monroe, Rufus East; French, Leota Bailey; Hartford, Jesse Kelley; Wabash.
