Miller, in charge of the Federal probe of the McNamara dyna- ting conspiracy here, to bring sult for eccounting of the big fund used in defense of the McNamaras. 'This should be done as an evidence Good faith,” said the District-Attor- » “and to show to the people of the tates how much was used for and unlawful purposes and how of this vast amount of money in by tabortag men was used ‘or ate attorney's fees and legitimate celved representatives of the newepa- pers, to whom he gave an extended statement. Mr. Burna waa in cheerful mood. He wore @ checked ault of clothes, a black overcoat and a brown derby. “Gompera has condemned himself be- fore the American people,” said Mr. Burns, “His recent attitude is an ineult to the Intelligence of the public. Every- body understands that Gompers had knowledge of the guilt of the NeNe- Maras before they confessed. If Gom- Pers had a leg to stand on he would make a speech that would reach from here to Washington. Now, all he will say ie contained in @ few short sen- tences or the statement that he will not discuss it at all. “Nor does Gompera deny the charge that after the arrest of J. J. MoNamara he wont to Indianapolis with the very people who appropriated the money for dynamiting. Is it not natural to be> Heve that Gompers asked these men how much of a case there was the McNamaras and how the case against J. J. McNamara, and that he was told the full particulars?” As Mr. Burna spoke he walked up and down the room and showed by his ner- Vousness the strength of his emotion.

A Clancy, he was dropped because he was ill, or supposed to be. He ts now in a hospital and claims to be suffering from heart disease, “It was to Clancy that MoMantmal was commissioned to deliver the mea- sage from J.

Mr. Burns explained that Burnha and Baker had come to his financial a: sistance in following the McNamara trail when Gen, Otls of the Los An- geles Times had tied up the funds voted through the tnatrumentality of Mayer Alexander of Los Angeles, Burns aald In closing: “Gen, Ott thought 1 was the ‘enemy ot capital’ at that time, because of my work tn San Francisco, 80 you see in the pursuit of criminals I have been dubbed both the enemy of labor and the enemy of capital.

Much as the King and Queen desired to impress the natives, they decided that elephants should be barred from the parade, fear- ing tthat the ponderous animals might stampede and carry their burdens through the walls of a few dwellings. To remove the bad impression caused by the lack of elephants in the proces- sion, the Government got Munshi Syed Ahmad, an Indian religious leader, to explain things properly in an official Pamphlet.
