Reports from Indianapolis today that a Fed eral errand ory would Investla-ate the o-called McNamara dynamiting rase, supplied a theme for consideration by roun.rl for the defense of John J. and James B.

It was concedes thst the m hole peneral apect of the re might he altered by prospective action of the Federal authorities, and that .the air Nomuras mlfht enter upon an entirely changed legal status. Action Mmr Aid Preaeratloa. Two main situations were regarded here today as possible to result from the Indianapolis Investigation. It was admitted In the first place that the In vestigation, regardless of Its outcome, might make It easier for the prosecu tion to Institute proceedings by which to obtain certain books and records which the Indiana authorities have re fused1 to give up. This evidence much desired by Plstrlct Attorney Fredericks and lack of It wan said to have been one of the reasons why James R. McNamara's rase was tried The second possibility also has to do with the fact that the state elected to trv James first Instead of John. The trial now In session mav last well Into next Hummer, during which time John J. McNamara ordinarily would be kept In Jail here, except for the periods when he might b called to testify aa witness In his brothers defense a pos- sIMIiv which has been considered with out eliciting any statement from the defense.

This could be done nnder order from a I'nlted Mates Commis sioner, after a hearlntr lastltuted upon receipt of a certified ropy of the In dictment, riuch action would raise again the question of McNamara'a ex tradition from Indiana to California. "In case the Commissioner should decide thnt the evidence warranted the removal of the prisoner, whether he would stay here until after trial or go to Indianapolis first would be a mat ter of comity between the county and Federal authorities." said fnlted .States nisjrlct Attorney McCormlrk discussing this aspect or the rase.

The meth od previously used by European fruit men lias been 'to secure the shipments on consignment. However, the recent salea were made by cable communica tion direct to Hamburg. The sales were made entirely on the reputation of the union pack. The great bulk ef the Hood River Vallev product will be marketed this season west of the Rocky Mountains. hecaiise the large crop or local prod uct In the East and Middle West pre vents the union from securing satis factory prices In the Eastern markets. The" season's crop will be very much shorter than the estimates made by the growers early ft! the season This Is due here as In other Northwestern fruit districts to the small size of the fruit. "The union has been greatly embar rassed In filling some -of Itei orders. especially In Jonathans." said C. H. Fproat. manager of the union, "be cause of this shrinkage In the pack. ne hnve been obliged to cancel a num ber of orders on this account. There will be a shortage In Baldwins and Black Twigs, and we will not be able to fill til of our orders for these va rieties because of sale having been made early In the season on the grow-ers'estlmates." The union has shipped II full car- oads of pears this season, the ship ments consisting of Rartletttt. d'AnJous. Winter Nells and Buerre Easters. All of the shipments were made f. o. b. lood River, and the prices received mere entirely satisfactory. The shipping season of apples Is at present at s height.
