SAN FRANCISCO, April IS. (Spe
claO.) Officers and crew of the British
steamer St. George. 7S days from
Antwerp, which arrived In port this
morning, were treated to a meteoric
shower at sea seldom seen In the life
of a sailor.
While passing through the Straits of
Magellan, the steamer passed througn
a veritable shower of fiery balls which
fell from tha clear skv. according to
the report wf Captain Sadler.
One of the sailors on watch declared
that a meteor fell so close to the ship
that he fancied be could smell It and
that the odor was not unlike that of a
hard-boiled egg.
Boatswain Murohv gave a vivid de
scription of the heavenly pyrotechnics.
He said that he and the men on waicn
were temporarily blinded by the tran
sient brilliancy.
The peculiar feature of the unusual
display at sea was that the w earner
was not of the sort that Influences
tirh nhenomena. The great balls of
re fell Into the sea and slxxled. caus
ing the water all about the ship to
throw off vapor.-
Members of the crew declare that
th. ahnwer lasted for about lour
minutes. The St. George brought
large cargo of European merchandise.

LOS ANGELES. April 2.-Attorneys
for both sldea In the dynamiting case
completed arrangements today for the
early arraignment of John and James
MeNamara and Ortle McManlgal.
The appearance of the prisoners In
court will not be deferred later than
next Wednesday, by which time It is
expected Clarence Darrow and Attorney
W. J. Ford, who has been named to
assist District Attorney Fredericks, will
have arrived In the city. Detective W.
Burns Is also supposed to be on his
way here, and there are reports tha
his appearance here will be the signal
for further arrests In connection with
the Times explosion.
Job llarriman. the Socialist attorney
who has been retained In the Interests
of the alleged dynamiters with Darrow.
bad a three-hour conference today with
the two MeNamara brothers, after which
he declared that the two accused men
bad been Informed of tne confession al
leged to have been made by McManlgal.
and that there was nothing In It which
the defense need fear.
Iefense Says tim Did It.
In connection with this, Mr. 11 am man
declared the defense would hinge the
fate of the MrNamffras on' the question
of whether the wrecking of the Times
building and the consequent death of
men was caused by gas or dynamite.
He also said that Dr. J. A. Holmes,
director of the United States Bureau of
Mines, would be one of the chief wit
nesses, called to uphold the contention
that gaa and not an Infernal machine
caused the explosion of the newspaper
plant on the morning of October 1 last.
The contention of the defense, accord-
ng to Mr. Harrlman. will be based on
hestf grounds:
First. That the dynamite made by the
factory from which the dynamite that Is
alleged to have caused the explosion
wss purchased, was tested In the Gov
ernment Bureau of Mines and would not
sat fire to gas.
Second. That dynamite will not set
re to Inks and oils, and an explosion
of dynamite of the kind said to have
been used would not have been followed
by sheet of flame, but. on the contrary.
would extinguish flame. .
. Third A gas explosion, on the other
band, would set fire to Inks and oils,
and would be followed by sheets of
flame.
Junes MeNamara Again Identified.
One of the most Important develop
ments of the day from the viewpoint of
the prosecution was the identification
of Jamea B. MeNamara as James B.
Bryce by Trevor McCachren, a bellboy
who was employed In the Argonaut Ho
tel In San Francisco last September. J.
B. Bryce, the man. who Is alleged to
have purchased 'the dynamite that de
stroyed the Times, lived at that hotel.
James B. MeNamara was led Into the
Jail office today .with a number of oth
er prisoners and, according to officials
of. the District Attorneys' office, the lad
quickly picked out MeNamara as the
man he had known as Bryce.
Two registers of the Argonaut Hotel
were brought here today for the pur
pose of Identifying the handwriting of
Bryce's signature as that of MeNamara.
They also contain the signatures of
Caplan and Schmidt, who have also been
tConcluded en Pae 2.

The train was traveling B0 miles an
hour and when the locomotive struck
a sharp curve where men had been re
pairing the tracks. It Jumped and ran
along a hillside, carrying- four of the
five cars with It. All of the cars took
lire and burned like tinder. Not a
splinter Is left.
When the train reached Stroudsburg,
Pa., a Pennsylvania railroad crew took
charge and .was to have run It through
to Philadelphia. The passengers were
enjoying the early Spring scenery along
the picturesque Delaware River Valley
when there was a sudden jar and the
excursionists In each car were thrown
together in a heap.
Oil Runs Over Wreckage.
Hardly had the train come to a stop
before the Are started and spread so
rapidly that some of the imprisoned
passengers are believed to have burned
to death. As the train left the track
it broke a tank of oil. which ran over
the wreckage and added fury to the
flames.
Physicians were called from this olty
and every town within a radius of ten
miles "and went to the scene in au

Shortage of $50,000 Still "Ex-.
Ista Arrest' Threatened. ,
KANSAS CITY. Mo., , April 29. The
case of the young woman who recently
stole $150,000 worth of securities from
her employer, Mrs. S. B. Armour,. Is de
clared by her attorney, Joseph G.
Stacey, to be one which would interest
the alienists. The attorney avers his
client does not know positively now
that she ever took any of Mrs. Armour's
property. The young woman, he says,
Is suffering from an extreme lack of
memory.
"She told me," said Mr. Stacey, "that
one night she dreamed that 'she saw
$32,000 'worth of bonds hidden in a dog
kennel near the Armour house. So
greatly was she exercised by this dream
that she arose in her night clothing
and without jwaiting to dress went to
the kennel. The bonds were there.
Just as she had dreamed they we:
She does not remember having taken
them from the safety deposit vault."
Shortly after the thefts, were dis
covered the young woman told attor
neys for Mrs. Armour that there was a
bundle of bonds in the kennel. They.,
were found there and restored to their
owner.
Investigation by Stacey of his client's
accounts at a local bank today showed
that in the last three years she had
deposited $122,004.99. The bonds in the
dog kennel were worth $32,000. Her
salary for the three years was about
$4000. It was concluded therefore, that
the original estimate of her thefts,
$150,000, is correct. Several times the
account was overdrawn, but afterwards
she always made large deposits. She
drew a check for $10,000 on December
19, 1910. It is presumed this money
was spent for Christmas presents.
It was announced today that, unless
the woman made good a shortage of
$150,000 she would be arrested and Mr.
Stacey has been trying to raise money
for the purpose but found her affairs
bidly tangled. He says his client does
not wish "to keep the stolen bonds.

PENDLETON. Or., April 29. After
three white doctors from Pendleton had
been driven away from the scene by
dancing" medicine men. Little Jack, a
famous Indian chief, died on the Uma
tilla reservation tonight. Had not
the men been accompanied by
Major Swartzlander, agent on the res
ervation, Indians would have 'attacked
the physicians, against whom they were
much incensed. h ' '
Medicine men from all - over the
Northwest were brought to the bedside
of Little Jack, who was stifferlng from
articular rheumatism, and although
they danced for 36 hours continuously
around the bed, their efforts were use
less. Little Jack's squaw died a few hours
prior to his passing. Little Jack was
well known on every Indian reservation.
In late years he has been a great gam
bler, a year ago winning his late squaw
in an Indian gambling game from an
other red man, to whom she was at
tached. His estate is large, probably
totalling- $50,000 in value.
