very little about study. College Ih to
them merely an excuse for persuading
their parent to piTintt them to spend
four years In riotous laziness. At

the Inherent weakness of I hone men.

Explosive In Barn Found.
Immediately after the offices of the

Hums and a squad of his men went
to the bam west of Indlanapolln
where the explosives were unearthed;
The detective then returned to th)
city, and a search of the basement o
the union headquarters revealed
more explosives.
President Ryan In an Interview
said that lie had been connected with
I'nlon labor for several years and
had never heard of a case similar to
the one charged against McNaniara,
but that he had known of rases
where "plants" had been made by
enemies of labor arganlzatlona, and
that If explosives were found they
must have been placed by enemies
of the organization.
The warrant for his arrest was
based on an Indictment found by the
grand Jury In Los Angeles.
Responsibility for other destruc
tive explosions In different parts o(
the country would he placed as the)
result of an Investigation now In
progress, Rums said.
"This is the beginning of one ot
the greatest criminal prosecutions

Rurns sayg Otto McGonigle told
him where these explosives could bo
found, and It was upon this Informa

dynamite and nitroglycerin were
burled under saw-dust In the barn.
Jones, the owner of the barn, tfMd
the explosives were placed there last
January and that McNaniara and
other men made various trips to the
barn with suitcases, but he did not
know the purpose of the visits. Jones
says that McNaniara rented the barn

Among the Republicans voting there
was a majority of 14 votes against
the bill.
The distribution of the votes was:

The sun went behind a cloud at 3

Many persons left the church be

battle was fought.
The Slate Department, In com

through Amirican Ambassador Hen

clared that "It Is Inferred from the
Kmbassy's telegram that there Is
some discrepancy between the news
which had reached the two capitals
as to various particulars connected
with the Douglas Incident."
Coincident with the War Depart

President was inclined to await the
receipt of a full copy of the Mexi
