McNary, chairman of the har- bor and land commission, to Governor Foss and the directors of the port of Boston Mr. McNary, who says his information is based upon facts se- cured from Grand Trunk and New Haven sources, outlines a proposed traffic agreement between the two sys-y| tems, The report finds in part: Extension Will Be Built. “That the work of the Southern New England extension from Palmer ‘o Providence has been stopped because the Grand Trunk, which is substan tially an Emglish owned and financed road, cannot get the funds at present in England or Canada, the Balkan war geare contributing quite largely to this result.

McNAMARA BLEW UP THE TIMES BUILDING IS TOLD BY McMANIGAL Testifies That James B. Gave Him the Details On a Hunting Trip—Sorry He Did Not Get Otis. McNamara Indianapolis, Nov. 14.—For the first time since the 21 persons were killed in the blowing up of the Los Angeles Times building on Oct. 1, 1910, James B. McNamara's detailed confession of having caused the explosion, with his motives for doing it, and his comments on the fact that so many people were killed, was related on the witness stand in the “dynamite conspiracy” trial today. Ortie E. McManigal testified the confession was given to him while he was hiding in the woods five miles from Conover, Wis, with McNamara, both of them having gone to the woods on the pretext of being hunters. Frisco Labor Leaders Involved. Olaf A. Tveitmoe and Eugene L. Clancy, San Francisco labor leaders, McManigal testified, were named by McNamara as having made arrange- ments for the Los Angeles explosion and as having furnished the two men —F. A. Schmitt and David Caplan— to assist in buying the high power nitro-gelatine, because Schmitt and Caplan had been regularly employed on the coast by the building trades council of California. Tveitmoe and Clancy are among the 45 defendants now on trial. Caplan and Schmitt, named by Mc- Manigal, were indicted in Los Angeles county with James B. McNamara on charges of murder, but they never have captured. Government agents have been informed that Caplan was killed. Hoped to Kill General Otis. When he asked McNamara why he twisted off a gas jet in the basement of the Times building before the ex- plosion, McManigal testified that this conversation ensued: McManigal—"“Why did you break off the gas jet?” McNamara—"“Because when the ex- plosion occurred I wanted the whole building to go to hell.” McManigal—“And you knew there was so many people in there, too?” McNamara—“What's the difference? I was to make a good cleaning out, and I did it. But I am sorry so many \Overe killed. I hoped to get General tis.” Took McNamara on Hunting Trip. McManigal said that on Nov. 5, 1910, he was at his home in Chicago and expected to leave the next day for , whence he was to start with a hunting party. That very day, he said, John J. McNamara, brother of the Los Angeles Times dynamiter, asked him to take James B. on'the hunting trip. McManigal said he had learned that James B. had been in hiding on the way back from the Pa- cific coast and was two weeks with J. E. Munsey in Salt Lake City. He =ald he went to Kenosha and J. B. hid him there. They procured hunting ' licenses and went with the party to Conover and then to a camp five miles in the country. Got Suspicious of McNamara. “On Nov. McManigal, missed James alone to look o out crack of a pistol, but, looking around, saw no one. Everyone was supposed to wear a red cap to dis ple from deer. I saw presently I saw James o flashed into my mind. I accused him right out. ‘T think you were taking a shot at me,’ I said. ‘If you do. you had better be quick about it. This is a fine place up here to get rid of a man —just shoot him and the coyotes will eat up his body. Told Him of Los Angeles Job. “He replied he just did it to scare me. Then, we being alone for the first time, he’'sat down and told me about the Los Angeles job. He said he went to the coast in July to get in touch with Tvietmoe and Clancy, ac- cording to instruction from his brother at the headquarters of the Iron Workers' union in Indianapolis. “Then he told me how he had set the bomb in what is known as Ink alley in the Times plant among some ink barrels and old papers. Going in, he said, he was stopped by the night watchman, who asked him what he wanted in there. He replied he was going to the composing room. The watchman let him pass. He was again stopped by a boy, but he also told the boy he was going to the composing room. The boy directed him to a door or a stalrway, I think he said. Put Infernal Machine at Otis’ Door. “He reached the basement and while passing through It took off a gas jet. I agked “‘Why did you break off the gas Jjet?” He replied ‘Because I wanted the whole building to go to hell’ I said I wasd surprised he would do it, knowing there were g0 many people in the building. He answered: ‘What's the difference? I was to make a good cleaning out, and I did it Then he thought for a while and added: ‘But I am sorry there were so many people. I wanted to get General Otis.’ “He told me he put the infernal machines at the residences of Gen. Harrison Gray Otis, proprietor of the Times, and of Felix J. Zeehandlaar, secretary of the Merchants’ and Man- ufacturers’ association, all to go off at 1 o’clock in the morning. Hid in Munsey’s House. “He said on the way back east he wasg frightened by the people talking of the explosion. He said he couldn’t bear to look anybody in the face and he thought everyone on the train was looking at him. At Salt Lake City he could not stand it any longer, so he stepped off the train and got In touch with J. B. Munsey, who hid him in his house for two weeks.” Telling of other explosions, McMan- igal testified that in September, 1910, he was sent to Chicago, where he talked with Willlam Shupe and James Coughlin, Iron Workers' union officials, about a job to be blown up between Gary and Pine, Ind., but which he did not blow up because the job was not properly ‘located. Wanted an Eastern Eche. He said after news of the Les An- geles explosion was published J, J. McNamara, secretary of the Iron Workers' headquarters in Indianapolis, sent him to Wercester, Mass,, to cause an “echo” of the Pacffic coast expio- sion in the east. “I want an echo of that Les Angeles affair in the east so if they catch J. B. they’ll -think they have the wrong man,” McManigal said was the way J. J. instructed him- Job E.

No armistice has yet been concluded; difficulties have arisen about the terms. It is said that Bul- garia demands the evacyation of Adrianople, Scutari and Monastir as a condition of agreeing to_an armistice, Negotiations, however,/coptinue, Fall of Adrianople Reported. The censorship is again exceedingly severe and it is difficult to arrive at any correct ideas of the military po- sitions. The fall of Adrianople is ru- mored from both Servian and Turkish sources, but this is still uncdnfirmed. Another report says that the Bul- garians have occupied Hademkeui, 21 miles from Constantinople. If this is true, it is a very important capture, as that town is Nazim Pasha's staff headquarters while the Vienna Reichs. post correspondent with the Bulgarian army reports what he describes as “murderous fighting” along the Tchat- alja lines. Turkish officlal reports de- ny that there h&s been any serious fighting for several days. Montenegrins Get Busy. ‘With regard to the other points, an improvement in the weather has per- mitted of the resumption of the Mon- tenegrin attacks against the Turkish positions around Scutari, with some success. A Dbattle is imminent at Monastir, where the garrison has en- deavored to make terms for its sur- render, but imposed conditions which the Bervian crown prince was unable to grant. Should an attack on Monastir bs made the Turks are not expected to offer serious resistance to the com- bined Servian and Greek armies, and the fate of Monastir is likely to fol- low that of Saloniki. Bulgarian Losses 60,000 to 80,000, The Greeks continue their advance towards Janina, They have now cap- tureq Metzovo, a few miles to the northeast. A report through Bucha- rest places the Bpigarian losses in the war at a far greater figure than has yet been estlmated. According to this report, the killed and wounded num- ber between 60,000 and 80,000 out of a total of 320,000 men, and ,it is point- ed out, after allowances are made for holding the line of communication. only 160,000 effective men are left for fighting. Reported Epidemic of Cholera. One reason which is considered like- ly to induce Bulgaria to consent to ar armistice and to a peace settlement is fear of cholera. Official reports is- sued at Constantinople represent that comparatively few cases are occurring dafly, but other reports say that the epidemic is serious, with & high mo.- talty. There is no new development in the diplomatic situation, but an official denial has been issued at St. Paters- burg to the reports that the Russian government has pronounced itself def- intfely in favor of Servia's claim for an Adriatic port, or has sent instruc- tions to the Russian ambassador at Vienna to that effect.

Kansas City, Mo, Nov. 14—Women's card parties conducted under the name of clubs ,not requiring a membership card nor a special Invitation, were branded a violation of the gamblit law by Judge Burney in the municl, court today The case in court was that of Mrs Laura Setzer, charged with disturb- ing the peace following a quarrel with Mrs. Frances Thompson at a meeting of the Progressive High Five club at the home of Mrs. Connie Stewart, & teacher of China painting. The courtroom was filled with wo- men. Witnesses testified variously that Mrs. Setzer gave Mrs. Thompson the first slap and vice versa.
