A large and very much interested audience heard Miss Ellen Stone's address at the Methodist church yess After the open- by the congre- Nowlin, Miss Piner, [ternoon, ing exercises, singing gation, and prayer by Dr. pastor First Baptist church, Stone was introduced by Dr. with a few well chosen words. After gracefully acknowledging the in- troduction, Miss Stone proceeded to give a most interesting account of her work in Macedonia, This, of course, was a sketch only, as her work there, covered a period of 2. years, ending with her capture in company with a friend, Mrs, Tsilka, who was traveling with her. By special request, she gave a vivid ae- count of their capture and treat- ment by the brigands.

She told of little Ellenci Tsilka who was born while they wers captives and made an urgent appeal to Christians in America to give more freely of their abundance that little ones like Ellencia might have n:ore and better privileges of hearing the gospel. Miss Stone told of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union work in Bulgaria; how their young lady grad- utaes went out wearing the white- ribbon, and an Albanian man, became converted, broke poured out all the liquor he had had for sale, and gave up tobacco be- cause it is unclean. It shows how closely connected are and temperance, and perhaps impressed some, who give little thought to the subject, with the vastness of the W. . T. U work.

McNa- mara's parting comment to the world, according to Clarence 8. Darrow, his chief counsel. John J., also ex- pressed the hope that sentiment ol union labor toward him would change remarking that in time the case would be better understood. The route to be taken by Sherift William A. Hammel and his prison- ers was kept secret and even the timd of departure was unknown to the public. By wrevious arrangements with Sherifft Hammel today a coterle of men and photographers, concealed behind the jail, saw the brothers enter an automobile. James B's right hand was manacled to John J's left wrist. Both men looke:d pale and cheerless and walked the few steps from the jail door with Lhowed heads. Sheriff Hammel was accompanied by three deputies. As soon as the prisoners were seated in the ma- chine, canvas curtains were drawn and the automobile dashed away to the north. The prisoners carelessly groomed and had prepared in no y for their departure, except to order their belongings sent to east- ern relatives. One of them had $125 and the other $150. This money was turned over to the sheriff today. George Gallagher, chief jailer, heaved a sigh of relief when his charges left, “They have behaved well)” he de- claped, “but always had to be watchful about people from the out- side.” The federal grand jury was not in n today but will convene again Tuesday to take more testimony newspaper were we KeEs about alleged dynamiting conspira- cies Oscar Lawler, government prosecutor, expressed irritation to- day that newspaper reporters had identificd one of the government's witnesses, J.
