M'NAMARA ARREST LEGAL Court Would Apologize If It Had prrn Concrrnrrl In Proceeding Against IVIPrtivc Hosick to B Discharged. rvTMAXAPOI.IS. Jan- Corranend e4 b the Federal Court for having rend"red a (treat service to hla coun trv." w. J. Burns, the detective, today ru released from the charge of hav ing kidnaped J. J. Mr.Vamara. the con rlcted dynamiter. All the charges In the Indictment against Burna for hav ing captured the labor leader In In dianapolis laat April and taking him to California for trial were held to be null and Told. "If I or this court had had anything to do with the arrest of Mr. Burns In this Instance. I should certainly now tender him an apologw," said Judge Anderson la dismissing tha Indictments brought by the county strand Jury. "The order which tie court shall er.ter will make It Impossible for any prosecutions to be brought tinder tha Indlctnienta" Arreat Made Legally. The court held that when Burns and James Hojlck. a detective of Lo Angeles, arrested McNamara on a requi sition from the Governor of California and honored by the Governor of Indi ana, they acted legally under tha Federal statute., and any conflict In the state law with tha Federal law. which made it possible to bring an nrtictmenl. was not constitutional. The Federal Constitution and Congress, tha court said, had delegated to the Gov ernors of the states the power of honoring requisitions for fugitives from Justice and tha Indiana Legislature had no legal right to lake this power from (he Governor and add It to the dutlea f a County Judge. The Indictments sgsinst Burns and Hoslclc had alleged McNtmtra was denied a right to re sist extradition In a County Court. Hoalefc Will Be DlmaUserf. Judge Anderson Indicated that If Hos'ck. who also was Indicted, pe titioned for release It would be granted. Detective Burns In a statement said: "Ever since my arrest I have con tended there was no Justification In prosecuting me. Then I repeatedly asked for a prompt trial, but this was denied br the County Authorities. At the time I regarded It aa an attempt to hamper my art'vltles at Los Angeles. I am still working on this dynamite con. solracy and constantly turning up mora evidence. I am asserting everywhere that organized labor will not be In jured by tha present proceedings, for It will be a benefit to labor to have It purged of corrupt political leaders." Witnesses presumed to have Infor mation as to tha Identity of persons responsible for explosions at "open shop" firms In Boston and Fprlngflekl, Mass- and Hoboken. N. J, also were examined by the Federal grand Jury today. MX rXIOV MEX IMPLICATED State's Star Witness Tell of Work of 'WrecklnB Crews." in.S ANGELES, Jan. 11.

JUDGE COMMENDS FOR GEEAT HIS COUNTRY. j 'i My fw KETCBTD FROM LIFF- IS LODGE AMENDMENTS DO PIEASE DEMOCRATS. NOT Republicans by Themselves Have Not Strength to Get Lodge Changes In Treaties Through Senate. WASHINGTON. Jan. 11. The Lodge amendment to the resolution for rati fication of tha arbitration treaties with Great Britain and France has stirred uo tha expected opposition from Jjemo- cratlo Senators. It Is favored, how ever, by three-fourtha of tha Repub lican Senators, who accept it aa a han dv compromise of all differences. The amendment waa Introduced by Mr. Lodge In executive session of tha Ben- ate today. Before the Lodge modification was suggested, seven or eight Democratic Senators had indicated a willingness to support the treaties, some without amendment and soma with amend men fa which would reserve from arbi tration all questions involving atrlct ly American questions. Those Demo- crats. however, took the position today that the Lodge amendment conflicted with the treaties themselves. Tha Republican Senators are not strong enough to put through the treaties without considerable Demo cratic assistance. Senators Rayner and Williams are favorable to them without any modification. Senator Rayner announced today his Intention of provoking a general dis cussion on tha treaties some day next week. Tha text of the Lodge amendment to the ratification resolution follows: The Senate advises and consents to the ratification of the treaty with the under standing to be made a part of such ratifi cation, that any Joint high commission of Inquiry to which shall be referred the ques tion to whether or not a difference Is sub ject to arbitration under article one of the treaty as provided by article three, thereof, the American members shall be appointed by the President, subject to the advice and convent of tbe Benate and with the further understanding that the reservation In article one of the treaty that the special agree ment In eaca case ehan be made by the President by and with the advice and eon rent of the 6enate means the concurrence of the Senate In the full exercise of its constitutional powers tn respect to evary special agreement whether submitted to the Senate as the result of tbe report of a Joint hlsh commission of inquiry under article three or otherwise.

WARBURTON TURNED DOWM Resolution to Place Washington Member on Special 'Sngar Inves- tigating Committee) Is Re jected, 167 to CI. WASHINGTON. Jan. 1L RermbM oan Insurgents met defeat tn tbe Honsa today In an attempt to upset Republi can Leader Mann's power to name Re publican candidates for places on tha House committees. Lad by Representative Norris, of Ne braska, who waged tha great rules fight of tha previous Congress, tha tasurrents triad to set aalda Mr. Mann's nomination of Phillip B. Campbell, of Kansas, regular, to suo ceed tha lata E. H. Madison, Insurgent, on tha committee on rules, and to nom inate In his place Victor Murdoch, of Kansas, insurgent. Attempt Is Voted Down. Opposed by both Democratic and Re publican leaders, the Insurgent at tempt was beaten by a vote of 167 to 107. Of the 107 votes cast in favor of Mr. Murdock, 18 were Republican and SI Democrats. The Republicans who- favor substi tuting' Mr. Murdock's name for that of Mr. Campbell were: Akin, NewTorkj Cooper. Davidson, Carey, Esch, Lien root, Morse and Nelson, Wisconsin; Anderson. Davis and JUndbergh, Min nesota; French, Idaho; Haugen, Hub bard, 'Woods. Green and Prouty, Ipwa; Helgeson, North Dakota; Lafferty, Ore gon; La. Follette and Warburton, Washington; Norris, Nebraska; Rees, Toung and Jackson. Kansas; Stephens, Cal.fomla. Tbe nomination of Murdock by Nor ris came after the nomination of Campbell by Democratio Leader TJn derwood. who Informed the House that Mr. Campbell's name had been pre sented to him by Mr. Mann. Underwood Aids Republicans. Mr. Underwood exhorted the Demo crats to uphold the Republican leader whom the Republican cauous bad em powered to select committee members from the Republican side. Representative Norris attacked both the cauous method of selecting com mlttees and the right of either . party to prevent opening nominations on the floor. Mr. Underwood declared nomi nations from the floor of the House would destroy completely the balance of committees and that the authority of someone to pass on appointments must be recognized. Notwithstanding this attitude, many Democrats voted with the insurgents. Warborton Also Rejected. Following the defeat of Representa tive Murdock for the committee place, the House elected Mr. Campbell. The insurgent representation on the rules committee was thus reduced to one. Representative Lenroot, of Wisconsin. Representative Norris followed his first defeat with a resolution for the appointment of Representative War burton, of Washington, insurgent, as a member of the special sugar inves tigating committee of which the late Representative Madison also was a member. This resolution was tabled on the motion of Democratio Leader Underwood, 167 to 21. The Insurgents could not muster enough votes "to force a rollcall on the question. REPUBLICAN RACE NARROWS (Continued From First Ptre.) the country believe that La Follette entered the field with no expectation of being nominated, but solely to crys tallize sentiment In the Interest of Roosevelt. This Is strange talk. In view of the fact that the La Follette bureau never oommended Roosevelt up to a week ago. and In view of the fur ther fact that the La Follette bureau called on the Colonel a month ago to Inform the country that "under no circumstances" would be accept the nomination. The breach between La Follette and Roosevelt, following the Colonel's re fusal to Issue an "under no circum stances'" declaration, was well and widely known. But now the La Fol lette bureau wants the country to know that It, led by La Follette, waa work ing for Roosevelt all the time. Lines Distinctly Draws. President Taft has let It be known that he will not withdraw from the race, and It appears to be equally cer tain that Colonel Roosevelt will not make any statement to the effect that he will decline the nomination. If It is offered him. Therefore, if the present situation remains unchanged, the Roosevelt forces will be arrayed against the Taft forces when the con vention 'assembles, and the delegates will choose between these two leaders.
