Los Angeles. April 27. The Mc
Namara brothers and McMonigal, un
der triple guard, spent a restless
night. This morning they swept out
their relit, handed the ... blankets
through the bars and shortly after

Burns Ix Confident.
Indiunapo'ils, April 27. Stung by
criticisms of the union laor which
he characterized as "raw," Detective
Burns before leaving for Chicago
promised a big surprise to the pub
lic before the dynnmlting case Is
ended. He said: "I am tied to no
corporation. I only work on legiti
mate cases. I can prove my honesty.
It's nil rot about me being wild to re
cover the reward for the Los Angeles
dynamiters. I never did not ever
will mbjeet suspects to the "third
degree." I simply get the evidence
nnd leave it to the courts. I can
connect my prisoner with 'dynamit
ing In nearly every state, as this ev
idence will show.

Seattle, Wash., April 27. Union
labor and socialists will hold a mass

of the alleged dynamiters. Last night
the .Seattle Trades Council pledged
itself to subscr be J 5. onn for the de

cient firm alarm system yet awhile
longer. It takes money to Install ap- j
paratus whereby the population may i
know that a conflagration Is raging
In Its midst within a few minutes af- j
ter the flames are discovered, and '
money is an article which the city
does not possess In abundance. In
tnnt tliA tint,, Xfntn ntrnet hridfrn. the
contract for which was Just let last j
week, will all but deplete tho munici
pal exchequer, and therefore the
alarm system must wait upon the .
completion of the bridge nnd the ac-
cumulation of a little more of the
coin of tho realm. I
This was tho decision reached by
the city council last night when it ,
refused to accept in full tho report of
the fire committee which recom
mended the purchase of new shut-off
nozles, new hose straps, new washers, j
a new fire bell and a fifteen box fire

WEST COURT STREET
WILL BE IMPROVED
MANY CROSSWALKS TO
BE CONSTRUCTED
ITotest Are .Made by Many Rel

Got Total Sum of 1155 for Work
in Tills City.
West Court street will be Improv
ed by the building of sidewalks and
crosswalks on the north side from
the west line of Calvin street to the
east line of Ash and on the south side
from the west line of Starr to east
line of Ash, despite the protests of
a number of residents who own prop
erty in the district affected. Two or
dinances ordering such Improvement
were passed last night by the city
council, the cost of the sidewalks to
be assessed to the abutting property
and that of the cross walks to be de
frayed by the city.
Prior Jo the reading of the ordi
nances, two letters of remonstrance
were rend, one from Mrs. F. B. Clop
ton and the other from Miss Ida
Boyd, both of whom own vacant lots
on West Court street. These ladies
claimed that such Improvement would
not enhance the value of their prop
erty to any extent and that the only
Ixnefit would be derived by the
Roundup association and they sug
gested that it would be only just that
that association and the, city, which
owns Roundup Park, assist In meeting
the expenses should the improvements
be determined upon. The letters were
referred to the street committee and
shortly afterwards the ordinances
were duly adopted.
By the ordinance, tnree blocks on
the north side of the street and two
on the south side will be provided
villi walks and the owners are given
the option of making them wooden
or concrete. The city, which must
provide a walk along the Roundup
property, will construct one of con
crete, six feet in width, the council
deciding such a one to be more eco
nomical in the end.

for the hose companies nnd for a new
bell, and they went further on their
own initiative, deciding that tho pres
ent alarm .system, such as It is, Is
miserably inefficcnt. Charman Ell,
in defense of their recommendation,
stated that they did not want tho re
sponsibility of the lack of fire pro
tection to rest upon the fire commit
tee, and further he stated that the
Installation of a good alarm system
would reduce the fire insurance rates
all over the city.
Mayor Murphy and the other coun-
cilmen admitted all of the conten
tions of the committee, namely, tlurt
the present system was bogus and
that there is a crying need for a new
bell and the alarm boxes, but they
were unable to see where the city
ivn to net xriiUPO for such a purpose
it the present time. The mayor stat
ed that fully two thirds of tho taxes
has already been paid in and that it
will bo some time before the remain
der is forthcoming.
However, the fire committee was
somewhat uppeased by the promise
that tin- now bell ami the alarm box
iould he given the enlrlest pos
sible consideration nnd by the mayor's
expressed belief that the end of the
year will have seen both installed If
proper economy is exercised by all of
the counoilmen.

ADVOCATES MORE PUNISH
MENT FOR DRUNKENNESS
Spokane, Wash. "Punishment for
drunkenness should be more rigor
ous than it is now," says J. Rdworrt
Preuell, a prominent property own
er. In a letter to the ommissioners of
Spokane, who are about to pass on an
ordinance deigned to clear saloons
of box partitions, tables and hairs
and restrit the liquor traffic, adding:
"The punishment for the first con
viction for drunkenness should be 30
days In Jail; the second time the
same individual commits the offense
it should be six months; the third
time, two years, and the fourth time,
10 years. Disorderly persons should
be arrested on sight." There is
much opposition to the ordinance and
even the commissioners are divided
in opinion as to the advisability of
passng suh a stringent measure at
this time. However, the churhes and I
several citizens' leagues are urging
the commission to adopt the measure
and enforce Its provisions. Members j
of the Royal Arch, a liquor dealers' .
organization, declare the new law will !
eventually place the city of .Spokane

SAYS ABOLISH SENATE
Washington. April. 27. A resolution
to abolish t'.ie U. S. senate was pre
s?:ited today by Congressman Berger,
icIMIt. !n the house. A constitu
tional amendment do ng a Way with
the "greatest deliberative body in the
world" is the means provided in the
resolution. Berger asserts the senate
has become obstructive and many of
its members represent predatory
wealth and not the states.
The resolution recites that the sen
ate has become a useless body and
menaces the people's l.berty. The
corruption of the attending election
of Its members has furnished the
gravest public scandals In the his
tory of the nation. The proposed
amendment would give the house rep
resentatives all the duties now held
by the senate with th referndum on

tion of five per cent of the qualified
voters of three-fourths of all the
states, to be filed within ninety days

Welser, Idaho. Of the great lrrl

1 400 squar'" miles in area, Is conserv
j ed in a reservoir overing 3200 ares
I of land, and delivered by gravity preis-
sure to the lands to be watered. The
entire project, of the greatest possi
ble value to Weiser, is to be com
pleted in the spring of 1912.
Another undertaking of merit has

i ounty about Weiser are rich and vast
; deposits of iron, copper, lead, gold
and silver. Here is situated the great

concerns. The richest mine in this d s
trict is the Arkansas, from which 2 '0

W'ith a unanimity such as has :
been noticeable before in reserra-tio
affairs, local people who are Infono&e
regarding matters are flocking ter tbe
defense of Major E. S. SwartzJoxaSrn
agent upon the Umatilla reservation. -
They uphold his administration i
being the most honorable and" sjBv
factory that has been witnessed? iw
many years if not in the hiUiy &,
the reservation.
Bankers, business men and f&im -ers
all unite in saying that the etmr
ges made against the major thxocck '
a local sheet famous for its BMdm
propensities, are not justified. Tbw '
assert that if there is any complaint
against Major Swartzlander ft Is
a trivial nature and can amount tw
but little. Others frankly assert eir
belief that the stories have svmm
prompted by vicious motives that wilP
later come to light. '
The charges made regarding th res
ervation affairs are to the effect, tfaatn
bribery and crookedness have beck'
rampant on the reservation and Oat.
Major Schwartzlander has been bi in
his duty as agent. The names of norm
of the accusers, if such people reaDtS" '
exist, have been given.
By the nature of things the local'
bankers are closely Informed regard--
Ing re-wrvatlon matters and are
ally therirst to learn bf any t

banks are emphatic in declaring they
know of no sound reason why any
criticism should be made of Major r
Schwarzlahder.

"I have not heard a word of serena
complaint regarding Major Sch ware
lander's work and I am wholly at loss1
to know who could be back of tto
charges that are being made," says
G. M. Rice, cashier of the' First Na- -tional.
"From what I know of ml- -fairs
the business of the reservation
is proceeding very smoothly and -
square deal is being given to every
body regardless of whom they may'
be. I feel there is less room for erit-
icism of this sort than ever before

Equally earnest in defense of th -work
