This " hroposltton was made by. Mr. Long this! morning to the national con vention of the Christian church, in ses sion at the White Temple. It came while he was explaining the gifts and various propositions that he had al ready made for the hospital, which at first was planned to be an Institution to coat about $400,000.

Oivea Much Money Away. "We who have any means to Invest in charity or benevolences' of any kind should give ns careful consideration to them as we give to other investments," said Mr. Long. "So I want to tell you about the American' Christian Benevo lent association, which has headquarters in St. Louts. In selecting the board of director two things have been con sidered. One is the spiritual life of the members, and the other is their influ ence In financial circles In the, communi ties In which,. -they live. J. W. Perry, president of the board. Is president of one of the largest banks in Kansas City. This does not make him a better man .than his clerks, but It gives him a much greater inftuence. t. .

Three of us agreed to give 1100,000 If the total sum of $260,000 was raised. Then Mr. Perry agreed to give $10,000. which Js one-twentieth of all ha possessed. Buy 38 Acres of Ground. "After 'thinking the matter over It occurred to me that if this hospital was to do the work it ought to do it would need a greater Income than would be received from the institution itself. So I made the proposition to Mr. Perry that I would contribute $250,000 If the church would raise $150,000 for endow ment. This proposition was based on the" provision that the hospital be non sectarian and that one-third of all the beds bo free. This proposition has been met. "At first we thought that a block of ground would be enough, but after the architect and myself visited many of the greatest hospitals in the coun try, we decided differently. Just be fore I left homo a deal was being closed for 38 acres of land within three miles of the center of Kansas City.' It will take from 10 to 20 buildings to form the great hospital we expect to have. "May X say In all humility. If I live (Continued on Page Twelve.) NEW CAR AN fvWILL BE BUILT BY P. R L. & P. CO.

" 'Stand back,' he yelled; 'I'll shoot the first mother's son of you that attempts to come on this bridge!" "Jt was only when the ship began to break up and the men passengers went to Farla In a body and threatened vio lence that preparations were made to take the crowd ashore." W. H.

Welcomed by the cheering of a vast crowd and amid a roar of cannon from the channel fleet. King George V. and Queen Mary landed here today from the royad yacht Vic toria and Albert for a five days' stay In the Emerald Isle.

This afternoon King George opened the Royal College of Science and Inter visited Trinity college, where he was welcomed by tho authorities of the uni versity.

(ITnited Eatmm Leased Wire.) Los Angeled Cal., July 8. When court reopened In the McNamara case at 9 o'clock today, following the disallow ing of the defense's plea of "tto Juris diction" yesterday, the defense filed a motion to quash the Indictment against John J. McNamara in the Llewellyn Iron Works case. Sharp criticism of the methods- of the grand Jury character ized this motion. An affidavit attached to the docu ment makes the charge that the grand Jury "has been kept In session and has brought various people before It with the evident intention of intimidating any who might be friendly or favorable to the affiant, and forcing from wit nesses any statement or evidence that might he by any possibility construed against the Interest of this affiant." The affidavit then goes on to claim that Detective William J. Burns had seen Mrs. Ortlc E. McManigal In the enst and had urged her to come to California and persuade her husband to retain & stand In support of the prose cution. When she refused, it says. Burns' agents followed her arid hounded her. The document also scores the grand Jury for the manner in which Mrs. McManigal was treated, saying that "It was done with the full knowl edge and connivance of the grand Jury." It nlso sets up the allegation that In April the first Indictment was found on a telegram from Burn without any witnesses being summoned. This tele gram, it says, was .regarding Ottie Mc Manigal's alleged confession, implicat ing John J. McNamara. "Then," the affidavit says, "when McNamara was brought to Los Angeles he was reindicted by the grand Jury on the same charge a second time with out being given a chance to take ac tion on the first Indictment." This morning Deputy District Attor ney W. J. I Ford, started a long and technical argument to prove that the indictments charging John J. and James ,.B. McNamara with the murder of 21 persons in connection with the destruc tion of the l.os Angeles Times build ing Were found according to the pre scribed rules of procedure and should not be quashed. Attorneys for the de fense had asked that the Indictments be quashed on the ground of alleged bias on the part of grand Jury mem bers. Before going to court Clarence Dar row stated that the defense would ap peal from Judge Bord well's decision of yesterday when he ruled that John Mc Namnra would have to stand trial on the Times charge. Darrow contends that Judge nordwell set a precedent when he decided that a prisoner could be tried on other indictments than the one for which he was extradited.

His face was not sub eired-r- He ' W .suWecX however, 'W heart trouble,' which may have caused his death; another theory is that soma culprit was, in the basement when he entered and' struck him; a third is that he followed someone into the opening; and was killed.
