M’NAMARA UNABLE TO GIVE BOND Local Ironworkers Union Officials Discuss Means of Securing $20,000 Bail for Indicted Business Agent. While John J. McNamara, business agent and secretary of the local bridge and structural iron workers' union, remained in county jail on four indictments charging blackmail the executive board of the union discussed means of securing 320,000 bond for him. Officials . did not discuss the charges of threatening employers against McNamara. Attorney General U. S. Lesh said today his office helped Prosecutor William H. Remv and his grand jury deputy, Daniel V. White, on legal questions involved in the indictments. “I am not empowered by law to assist in the prosecution, but my office will assist him in any way it can." said Lesh. May Venue From County McNamara probably will he arraigned the first Monday in Novem ber. the next regular arraignment day in Criminal Court.

April 22. 1911. when McNamara was taken to California in connection with the notorious dynamiting cases at Los Angeles, where twenty-one persons were killed. Collins Is now judge of Criminal Court. AC the time efforts were made to have Collins indicted on charges of complicity in kidnaping' McNamara for California.

Worley was ir. progress, assisie i by Detectives Reynolds and Samuels, Remy received much censure for not taking action in the case. It was nqarlv impossible to find witnesses who would talk about the labor troubles, lie said. Property owners frankly admitted th* y feared for the property and workers for their personal safety, he said. Sh Jrtly after the vandalism at the Elks Bldg, a reward of SI,OOO was offered for information leading to the arrest, of the vandals. The Dahlstrom Metallic Door Company, Jamestown, N. Y., which had the contract to install the doors and windows, offered SI,OOO of the sum. -Vandal Acts Listed The October publication of the Associated Employers calls attention to a number of acts of vandalism upon buildings in the last few months and calls up citizens to aid authorities in apprehending those responsible.

Cal, Oct. 10.—(By Radio to I United Press) The Shenandoah i drew near San Diego and the Pacific Coast today after a thrilling night across the Great Divide I through unchartered skies. We expect to reach the California city luring the day and will taka off | for Duke view, near Tacoma, Wash., jat 10 a. m, Saturday, completing ( the outward half of our cruise. Rear Admiral Moffatt. chief of the j naval bureau of aeronautics was on the bridge through most of the thrilling night flight. Many Difficulties “It is simply tremendous." he said, during some of the most exciting moments. "The difficulties of navigating an airship over uncharted lands, with the complications of buoyancy are greater than those of piloting a warship at sea." Few voyages have furnished thrills in as short a time as the navigation of the first passes of the Rocky Mountains. Driving ahead at a speed of seventy miles an hour with the wind roaring like the booming of a cannon, we rose gradually until between the highest peaks we were at. an altitude of 6.800 feet, following u new and uncharted course, wi’h only a white ribbon of highways arjd glistening railways as guides. As the ship hailed over the mountains it would turn through a canyon and drop closer to the ground giving the Impression of jagged cliffs on ail sides hemmed in the i Leviathan of the skies. Pressure Felt The ears and eyesof those aboard reacted to the atmosphere and the I immense gas bags inside the tube, | which h,ad only been partly dlstendI ed during the previous two days of i the cruise were straining against I their network of cords.

GIANTS ANO SENATORS IN FINAL BATTLE FOR TITLE OF WORLD B. B. CHAMPIONS Curly Ogden, Washington RightHander, Will Probably Oppose Hugh McQuillan in Last and Deciding Contest of 1924 Series. INJURIES RECEIVED THURSDAY KEEP PECK OUT OF GAME Capacity Crowd Out to See Capital City Crevt 7 and National Leaguers in Last Stand—Expect Attendance Records to Fall. | By HENRY L. FARRELL I nited Prcaj Stuff Correspond' l ** ’WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.—Still puffing from the strain and pressure of a game where bravery alone pulled them through, the valiant Washington Senators faced another crisis here today when they lined up for the final contest with the New York Giants. Twenty-four hours ago the experts had long faces and were telling Buck Harris he was a nice hoy, but too much of a kid to heat one of Old Man MeGraw’s teams. Someone must have told the youthful manager these very words, because it was a poke by him over the heads of Long George Kelly and BJondo Frank Frisch that drove in two runs Thursday, won the ball game and squared the series at three all.
Only Washington fans believed the Senators had a chance Thursday. The faith.of a city in a oall team never has been displayed as it was then. There was not a doubt that rfhe Senators were not going to win and the city worked itself into near hysteria seeking information about tickets for the seventh game that the critics thought and declared would not be necessary. It took only a timely single bv Buck Harris, a sensational catch byRice and a wonderful step by Peck in the ninth to upset the minds cf those critics. Peck Hurt Again Peck's great stop and throw in the ninth inning on Meuse J's bid for a single over second forced Southworth at second and saved..the game, but it may also proved to have lost today's battle. Manager Buck Harris announced at l.oon that Peck will be unable to pjay in today’s game as result of the injuries received when he made that sensational play Thursday. "I'll have to use Tom Taylor at. third and move Bluege over to short again if reck can't play." Harris said. “Taylor is getting over a double fractured throwing hand, hut he's game enough to get in there arid bear down." Both the Giants and Senators- are in a bad way for pitchers at a time when one good sure pitcher might win the championship. Curly Ogden is ready to work for Washington today, elie has had a sore arm and hasn't done anything for weeks. Harris said today he felt Ogden could be trusted, as he was in good condition and he had a good style to put against the Giants. Ogden is a curve ball and a floater pitcher. President Coolidge and his party announced themselves as sure to attend today. It was said at the White House that the President couldn't stay away from the park when the Senators were fighting for the one game that means tlw championship of The'world. With • Washington. from the White House to the railroad tracks, aroused to a frenzy. Clark Griffith, owner of the Sena to- ... felt it was safe to announce new record for receipts, would .jo made. “We need only .$92,090 to break the record, and we have already sold more than that amount of tickets," Griffith said. Weather conditions were again ideal. The sun was out bright and it was warmer than Thursday. McGraiv Undecided John McGravv, manager of the Giants, refused to givany information this morning about the pitcher he had in mind to go after the final game. “I really.don't know myself and I won't know until I reach the ball park ami look over the boys," he said. Later he said he intended to pitch Virgil Barnes. The Giants were upset Thursday when Nehf failed to turn in a game, that they ail expected was aa good as won. and they we're' rathefr dubious about a pitcher for today. Hugh McQuillan is practically the only pitcher the Giants have left, who is safe to start, but McGraw may take a chance on Mule Watson HOURLY TEMPERATURES 6 a. m 59 10 "a. m 75 7 a. m 69 II a. m 79 a. m 63 12 (noon) .... 78 9 a. m lp- m So

The State general fund, from which it is necessary to pay out $625,000 a month for State administrative expenses, today stands at less than $66,000. No more money will be received into the fund until December, when the fall tax payments are made by the counties. Annual transfer of money from the contingent fund to the benevolent fund, in order to allow the State benevolent Institutions to function, withdrew $50,000 from the general fund this week. When the genera! fund is exhausted within a week or two, the State will have to borrow money, either from one of two or three other funds or from banks.
