Under the guardianship of two detectives and se curely locked in the stateroom of a Pullman sleeping-car attached to the Golden State Limited Southern Pacific train. Ortle E. McManlgal arrived hero this afternoon. Ills car waa trans ferred to an El Paso Southwestern Rock Island train and In a few min utes was flying north. No one waa permitted to see McMan Igsj. and the fact that ho was on the train was made known by the conduc tor. McManlgal la said to be en route to Indianapolis, where he la expected to teatify in the probing of the dyna miting cases there by the Federal grand Jury now in eeaslon. His routs from the city will bo dlreot to Chicago. Union Labor leaders are expected tn the trial of B. H. Connors, A. P. Maple and F. Ira Bender, charged with having attempted to dynamite the Hall of Records, erected by open shop con tract, the night of September . 1910. Connors' trial began today In Judge Willis' deportment of the Superior Court, with those of Bender and Maple to follow In the order named. George Eckerman. of Seattle, now under eub pena to appear before the Federal grand Jury, will be a witness at the trial. At the time it occurred he was in this city as superintendent for the contractors who were building the postofflce building. He declined to say todsy what he knew about the Hall of Records case, - but Intimated that It would tend to show who Inspired the attempt. The state does not believe that Con nors, Bender and Maple tried to blow up a building without being told by somebody to do the Job. The prosecu tion will go upon the theory that "higher-ups" Instructed the men .to ter rorize the contractors. Eckerman Is believed to have Important information about tho higher-ups. Ten Jurors were obtained today to try Connors. The petit Jury panel in Judge Willis court waa exhausted and the panel in another department of the Superior Court waa drawn upon, over the objections of Lecompte Davis. Con nors' attorney.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 4. The Mone tary Commission's plan for a National Reserve Association when It goes to Congress on Tuesday will provide for an organisation so constituted that the financial institutions of New Tork would control less thsn 10 per eent of tho total representation In the Cen tral Association, although they pos sess fully 10 per cent of the banking capital. This will be done to guard against so-called Wall Btreet control of the proposed institution, which would lHrgely supplant the United States Treasury and perform the functlona of a National fiscal agent. . Far West's Influence Doubled. The South, with about 10 per cent of the banking resources of the coun try, would control 13 per cent of the representation in the Reserve Associa tion. New England with 12 per cent of the banking capacity, would have 8 per cent; the Middle West, with 15 per cent of the banking capital would control 80 per cent, and the Far West ern and .Pacific states with about 13 per cent of the banking capital, ap proximately 25 per cent. By prescribing such a method of or ganization. It is expected to remove completely the possibility of control of the Reserve Association by any single group of men. Fifteen branch associations are pro vided for one in New England, two In the Eastern states, four In the South, four in the Middle West and four In the Far West. To control the Reserve Association, it would be necessary to control a majority of the branches. This Is considered impossible. leterholdlnars Hay Be Barred. It has been proposed that ownership of bank stocks by other banks be prohibited and that any bank that is a membi-r of the Reserve Association be forbidden to own stocka Jn another bank. It also has been proposed that when a bank acquires stock control in another bank. It be prohibited from voting that stock in the main organi sation. Much Btudy on the part of the commission, however, haa failed to auggest any provision that would be Impossible of evasion. but If any workable plan of defeating Interhold Ings of stocks can be devised It will find a place In the commission's report. PLAN TO PLACATE BRYAN (Contlmud from First Pate.) present board, notwithstanding it is a non-partisan body, and supported by appropriations for which Democrats as well as Republicans voted. Report Made to Coagreaa. It la aald tho appropriation for this board will be cut oft by th House, on the ground that tho board Is ap pointed by the President and reports to him. This, strictly speaking, is true, but the board has never been Interfered with by the President since it was ap pointed. It has acted entirely upon its own initiative and responsibility; and while It did report to the President, the report was promptly sent to Con gress, and in effect the board made its report to Congress, for the Informa tion and benefit of Congress. But Clark and those who have rallied behind him are setting up the claim that the House of Representatives, under the Constitution, must originate tariff legislation: that it cannot be originated by a tariff board or com mission, and especially by a board that reports to the President. This, it Is evident, is mere buncombe, for every one is aware that the tariff board, tn re porting on wool, did not recommend or even suggest a bill to carry out its findings. It did not draft any sort of bill, nor did it In any way indicate the kind of bill that would meet Its findings. It merely ascertained the facts as to the cost of producing wool and woolen manufactures In the United States and abroad, and gave to Con gress such data as would guide It In determining rates that would be fair and consistent, either with the policy of protection as sdvocated by Presi dent Taft or by others, or rates that would produce a certain amount of revenue. Old Errors to Be Defended. Spealer Clark haa declared over and over thgvt he would stand for a tariff commission that reported to Congress, but not for a board that reports to the President. The line of distinction he draws Is extremely fine, and It Is plainly apparent that the purpose of the present attack Is to Justify the Demo crats In ignoring the facts brought out by the tariff board on tho wool ques tion, and also to Justify revision of other schedules on which the board has not and cannot report at this ses. lon ,, It Is pure politics, and Democratic leaders apparently have deckled it is better for them to try to sustain the action of the House in the special ses sion than to confess error and under take revision along new lines.
