CANNOT BRING M’NAMARA BACK

Jn California He Is Out of Indiana's Jurisdiction. LAWYERS UNITE IN OPINIO! Judge Collins Claims that Proceedings Before Him Were in Strict Conformity with Law—Had no Discretion in Matter. Indianapolis, April 2S. — It now seems impossible to reach J. J. McNamara, secretary-treasurer of the International Association of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers, and force his return to Indiana through legal processes, but It appears difficult for the leaders of organized labor to fully realize it. McNamara was arrested here and hurried out of the state.

Two firms of lawyers were consulted with reference to the McNamara case and both advised the labor men that there was no way in which the secre-tary-treasurer could be gotten out of California. They said if the officers in charge of the alleged dynamiter could have been stopped by a writ of habeas corpus between here and California the question of the legality of the extradition might have been tested but as soon as McNamara crossed the line into California he lost the benefit of any statute in Indiana. Judge Collins of the police court, who turned McNamara over to the detectives after his identification as the man named in the warrant, said: “There is no way in the world by which anybody can sustain a charge of kidnapping in this matter. Every move made, in which I had part, was in strict conformity with the law. The governor had honored the requisition of the governor of California for McNamara and had Issued the Warrant. McNamara had been arrested and was brought before me for the sole purpose of identification. McNamara himself admitted his identity and said he was the man named in the warrant. Hosick also identified .McNamara as the man described in the warrant. When this was done, there was only one thing I could do under the law, and that was to give McNamara into the hands of Hosick In compliance with the law.” Nitroglycerin used by persons who destroyed the structural iron mill of McVlntock, Marshall & Co., at Peoria, Sept. 4 last, was sold by M. J. Morehart, manager of the local magazine of the DuPont Powder company at Portland, this state. Monday, Aug. 28, last year. Morehart delivered at Albany, twenty-five miles west of this city, 100 quarts of the explosive to a man who gave his name as J. B. McGraw. McGraw answers, Morehart says, the description of J. B. McNamara, arrested at Detroit a few days ago and taken to Los Angeles to answer for the wrecking of buildings in which many lives were lost McGraw gave as a reason for buying the nitroglycerin that he was the owner of a large stone quarry at Peoria and wished to use it blasting.

PROMISES SOME THRILLS

Attorney for Suspected Dynamiters Makes a Prediction. Los Angeles, April 28. —Janies B. McNamara, called to the office of the county jail ostensibly to hear from District Attorney J. D. Fredericks an outline of his legal rights, came face to face with Mrs. D. H. Ingersoll of San Francisco. She identified him positively as “J. B. Bryce,” a lodger in her house in that city last September. O. M. Hilton, one of the attorneys for the defendants, accomplished a coup that worried the district attorney. Hilton asked McManigal, in the presence of two witnesses, if he had made any confession. McManigal denied having confessed. To combat the effect of this assertion McManigal was hurried to the district attorney’s office and there, according to attaches of the office, repeated the confession he is said to have made in Chicago. Attorneys Hilton and Harriman conferred with the defendants and Hilton, in a statement given out later, predicted sensational developments during the trial. Clarence Darrow of Chicago has consented to defend the prisoners and is expected here Monday. Officers and employes in the aynamite works at Giant, Cal., are to be brought here to identify James McNamara as Bryce, one of the purchasers of dynanite there.

Woman’s World

The Bryans’ Younger Daughter Expected to Be a June Bride.

MISS GRACE BRYAN.

When Jane comes around with Its roses there will be another wedding in the family of the great commoner, and Lincoln, Neb., is delighted, since it means the keeping of the younger of the popular Bryan girls with them. Perhaps the Bryans are delighted, too, for Miss Grace, the youngest child, is to marry no stranger, but a young man who has always been known to them and whose parents have long been their friends. Richard Lewis Hargreaves is the prospective bridegroom. The young man is only a few years older than the bride to be. who is about nineteen.

Presumably the wedding will take placeat Fairview, the family home on the outskirts of Lincoln, or else In one of the local churches. Miss Grace Bryan resembles her mother in appearance and has the same charm of face and manner. That she is clever goes without saying, for the children of such parents could be nothing else. Her special talent Is music, as that of her elder sister is literature.

The Bryan girls have always been great favorites with the American people. Like their mother, they are simple and democratic and put on no undue airs, although their father’s great position in the world would excuse them for so doing. When Miss Ruth Bryan was married to W. H. Leavitt in 1908 the marriage could scarcely have been a matter of more public Interest bad her father been president. Every one felt sorry for her, and particularly for her parents, when the marriage turned out so unhappily. Certainly the younger daughter will have the best wishes of the American people in her new life.

Although so prominent, the Bryans have always insisted on keeping the particulars of their private life from the public. That their daughters are good looking, healthy and wholesome American girls is obvious. They are well educated without being representatives of the modern higher education for women. Miss Grace attended a | school for girls in Virginia and afterward studied in Germany. She is fond of dogs and horses, a lover of the outdoor life and in most respects a thor- | oughly typical American girl. She is | the last of the three Bryan children to marry, her brother, William J . Jr., having married Miss Helen Berger, daughter of a wealthy Milwaukee business man, about two years ago. On their recent return from Europe the Bryans brought many handsome things for their daughter’s trousseau.

GARDEN SHRUBS.

They Should Bo Arranged For Artistic Effect. Never plant shrubs or flowers or anything else in the center of the lawn. It dwarfs the place and spoils all artistlc effect. Where the bouse foundation meets the lawn is a harsh line. Plant shrubs around the house close to the foundation to hide it. The view under the front porch is not pleasing, so plant something to hide that The weekly wash and other things occasionally Been in the back yard are not beautiful, so plant a screen of tall shrubs from the back of the house to the fence on either side. The division fences are not handsome, so shrubs

may be planted to hide them, at least partly. Square corners are not pleasing, so plant shrubs in the corners to round them off.

If there is anything unsightly about which can be hidden by plantations of •hrubbery plant it out. Use shrubbery for all these purposes, because, while flower plants are dead seven months in the year, shrubbery partly conceals and has pleasing forms even in winter.

Do not make a circle in the lawn around every shrub you plant. Plant the shrubs in borders and plant them fairly thick, since If you get them too far apart they will suffer from drought and winter winds.

Tucked Pillowcases.

1 Run a row of stitching about threequarters of an inch from the closed edge of pillowcases, forming a sort of tuck. It looks well on the pillow, gives something to hold to when slipping it on and off the pillow and is a great convenience when turning the ease in the laundry. The corners are Immediately adjusted without the customary poking; hence pillowcases never wear out at the corners.

PERT PARAGRAPHS. H br friends all think that a mother ought to trounce her young hopafuls four times a day, but If she happens to be ouly their stepmother and spanks them occasionally they want to call the police. When you see one man avoiding another it Is a safe bet tbat some old hen has hatched. Many an act tbat has started as * joke has finished with the undertaker.

“My father can lick your father.” “Can be. though?" “You bet he can!” “Well, my mother can outtalk your mother.” Common Mistake. Mary Anderson Is going to write a book about the American man. telling him, among other things. Just where he gets off. Mary has made the mistake Into which travelers fall. Seeing a few hundred masculine forms in white shirts and topped with high hats, she jnm[)s at the conclusion that this is the American man. No guess could he wider of the mark. Without census figures we make bold to say that the American man as a whole doesn’t possess that gawky harness known as a dress suit. Neither does he make his main diet on cane heads. A fellow in brown overalls handling a crane In a.steel mill or a one gallused person guiding a team of mules through a corn row comes nearer being;, the type. We are sorry for Mary, but her man, being purely ornamental, doesn’t count.
