Webb, a New York member of the executive committee of the union, who is now serving six years in prison. Gigantic Scheme Planned. A feature of Davis' statement, was a story of a gigantic scheme to set off simultaneously explosions in Omaha, San Francico, St.

Louis New York city, while the McNamaras were in jail. This was to create impression for all the dynamiting in the country. The consummation of the plot was nipped by the confession of the McNamaras. Davis left for Indianapolis over the Pennsylvania Railroad at 6:20 o'clock this evening in charge of Deputy United States Marshal Joseph Kund. Statement by Counsel.

Walter Drew, counsel for the Erectors' Association, said tonight: "This arrest and Davis' confession are important because they go to show that officers of the International Agsociation of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers planned to go ahead with the dynamite conspiracy to draw attention the McNamaras. We should have arrested this man Davis before if we had had the evidence to convict him. "At the trial of the McNamaras and at the Indianapolis trial facts in relation to various dynamiting jobs in the East were disclosed but the confession of Davis reveals the names of the persons responsible. Attempt to Wreck Potter Plant. Coudersport, Oct.

attempt to wreck the plant of the Potter Enterprise, was made early today. No one was in the building at the time. To explode the charge a tunnel had been made from an alleyway under a wall. There was no basement under this part of the building. The Enterprise is published by M.

T. Stokes, who formerly was engaged in newspaper publishing in Ohio. The paper has been conducting a very vigorous campaign on local issues. A reward of $500 has been offered for the arrest of the perpetrators. Harry Jones Arrested.

(By the Associal Pre 6 I Indianapolis, Oct. 2. -Harry Jones, secretary-treasurer of the International Association of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers, arrested here today on a charge of conspiring to transport explosives unlawfully, was released on $10,000 bond late this afternoon. His hearing was set for October 13 before United States Commissioner Howard S. Young.

The arrest is the result of a confession by George E. Davis, alias George O'Donnell, arrested in New fo York today. In the confession Jones charged with aiding Davis in his dynamiting work in the past. The charge against Jones is the same as charges on which 38 of his fellow unionists were convicted in the Federal court here last December and sentenced to the Federal prison at Leavenworth for terms ranging from one to seven years. With the exception of H.

All of the men sentenced from here have appealed their cases to the United States Circuit Court of Appeals at Chicago. The appeais are set to come up this month and today's developments are MACK'S REGULARS STOPPED BY RAIN Game Intended For Training Purposes Goes Only Four and One-half Innings MAY PLAY SCHANG (By the Associated Press.) Philadelphia, Oct. four and one-half innings of the first game of the series with the New York team, which Manager Mack, of Philadelphia, intended should be used as a basis for putting his players in trim for the world's series contests, could be played this afternoon.

While New York was at bat in the fifth inning with the score 0 to 0, a hard shower caused Umpire Evans to suspend play. In a few minutes the field was SO soggy that the game was called off. For the first time in a week, Manager Mack had his full strength in field. Bender and Schang were sent in at the start of the game it was taken as an indication that they would form a battery in the world's series and that they would probably be the men selected to do this work in the first engagement of the big series. The fans have been guessing as to who Mack would lead off with.

Bender. Many believed that Thomas would again up with the big Indian twirler. leathe indications, however, are that Schang has been decided on. In today's contest foul tip off Peckingpaugh's bat in the third inning struck Schang on the right hand and bruised one of his fingers. Manager Mack declared tonight he did not believe the accident would prove serious.

Bender pitched three innings. He had excellent control and gave only two hits. Only nine batsmen faced the Indian. Three knocked the ball out of the infield, two of these being easy chances for Oldring, while one batsman struck out. Brown and Lapp became Philadelphia's battery in the fourth inning.

The American league champions put up a snappy exhibition in the field, the infielders showing signs of staleness from their lay off." At the bat Philadelphia did not size up as being in form, although they usually have trouble hitting Caldwell, who pitched for New York. The home team made two singles in four innings. These were the only times when Philadelphia could bat the ball out of the infield. Two games tomorrow will give Manager Mack the opportunity to use a large number of twirlers. The chances are that Bender, Plank and several of the young pitchers will work a few innings.

considered of great importance at the U. S. district attorney's office, in that many missing links are supplied by Davis' confession. The Government with Davis' confession, it is said, would be better equipped to go into a second trial should the court of appeals so rule. Two men, Ortie E.

McManigal and E. D. Clark, actually did much of the dynamiting work, testified for the Government in the trial here last fall, and Davis, who is expected to plead guilty soon after being brought to this city, would be a third dynato testify in case of a second trial. No statement could be obtained from the international headquarters of the union here. Jones is a new man in the dynamiting case.

He was financial secretary of New York local No. 40 and was elected international secretarytreasurer at the convention held here last January. CHINESE BRIGANDS MALTREAT AMERICANS. According to Report Received by American Legation at Peking. (By the Associated Press.) Peking, China, Oct.

American legation here received report today from Paul Jameson, vice-consul at Shanghai saying an American child had been killed and foreigners were being maltreated by Chinese other, brigands at Tsao Yang. The legation believes that ransoms alone can save American prisoners held by the brigands. Nearly 3,000 Chinese troops are advancing on the town of Tsao Yang. A communication to the American consul had reported that the missionaries, Reverends S. C.

Stockard and Johnson were proceeding to Tsao Yang from Siang Yang Fu, but their expedition evidently failed, as Stocks had telephoned today as follows: "The robbers still holding Tsao Yang. The little son of Rev. Harman Fauske, atached to the mission of the Lutheran brethren, has been killed. A foreign rescuing party again is proceeding to Tsao Yang." (Special to The News and Observer.)

CLOSE GAMES WITH LOW SCORES Prominent Baseball Players Say Opinion Divided on Outcome of World's Series BETTING AT EVEN MONEY (By the Associated Press.) New York, Oct. regarding the outcome of the world's series appears to be unusually divided this year. Prominent baseball players and writers are predicting a close series of games with low scores. Outside of the home cities of the two competing clubs the wagering is at even money. In Philadelphia the Athletics are slight favorites over the New York team and here local supporters are quoting odds of 10 to 9 on the Giants.

Expressions of opinion on the part of the managers and players of other clubs are beginning to be heard here with the gathering of the advance guard for the opening games Tuesday. Among those who are favoring the Athletics are Frank Chance, Napire Billy Evans. Some of those who poleon on Lajoie, Clark Griffith and Umare naming the Giants as probable winners are George Stallings, Johnny Evers, Fred Clarke and Ty Cobb, Hughey Jennings and Bill Dahlen have said the teams are 80 evenly matched the outcome of the series is a toss-up. More For Giants. A consensus among thirty of the leading baseball writers of the big league circuits shows that eighteen favor Giants to win against nine for the Athletics and three frankly undecided.

Almost without exception they predict tha the slightest break of luck in the game will swing the championship one way or the other. Manager McGraw had all his world's series regulars, aside from Fred Snodgrass, the "Charley-Horsed" center fielder, in action today, Larry Doyle, captain and second sacker, whose shoulder has been lame, got into the harness in the second game of the double-header with Philadelphia. It was in the first today that Mathewson and one encounter, or the other of whom is likely to twirl the opening world's series game, were tried out. "Matty" possibly has been in better from this year, but in the four innings he worked the heavy hitting Phillies scored but once and would not have counted then had not Shafer made a bad throw to first. Marquard had fine speed and control in the five innings he pitched only one run scored for which his pitching was responsible.

In another double-header tomorrow McGraw will have plenty portunity to tune up his other boxmen. Tesreau and Demaree are expected to show in these games. Deaths and Funerals J. B. Cornell.

Baltimore, Md. BUMGARNER HEARD BEFORE THE HOUSE Disclaims Dishonesty of Purpose and Intentional Wrong IS SHARPLY CONDEMNED Senate Committee Denounces Method Adopted By Representative From WilkesHouse Refers Matter to Special Committee of Five. Following a somewhat dramatic statement on the floor of the House yesterday by Representative Linville Bumgarner, of Wilkes, in which he disclaimed any intention on through the Legislature his bill to transfer his county from the Seventh to the Eighth Congressional district and declared that he had a record in his home community and county for honesty and for activity against corruption in politics, the House referred the bill, which had been recalled from the Senate, together with the Senate committee's report, to a special committee to take the matter under consideration, give Mr. Bumgarner a hearing and report Its findings and conclusions. The committee consists of Representatives Sikes, of Union; Seawell, of Lee; Doughton, Alleghany; Page, Moore, and Ferguson, of Swain.

The Senate Judiciary committee, which discovered the so-called "sneak" bill Wednesday afternoon, submitted yesterday morning a report of the nature of bill and in the written report denounced such methods legislation as had been attempted by Mr. Bumgarner, expressing censure of the bill, its author and his methods in taking advantage of the courtesy extended him by members of the' General Agsembly. Having reconsidered the vote by which the bill passed its third reading, the House extended to Mr. Bumgarner the, privilege of making 8 statement explanation of his conduct and purpose. He boldly proceded to the center aisle, faced the members of the House with countenance that bespoke sincerity a and honesty, regardless of unseen motives, and declared he came to the Legislature an honest man and that he was honest still, that he assumed full responsibility for his act, that no other member of the House had any connection with it, that he had not intended to "sneak" the bill through the Legislature, but that if he had been asked by members of the House as to the contents, would cheerfully have explained the nature and purpose of the bill before it was passed, that he had always maintained record for honor and truthfulness, that his father had whipped him when he WAS boy because he told the truth but never for telling a lie (that he the truth and by doing so convicted himself of offense that chastisement from his father), that introduced the bill on request of Republicans and Democrats of his county, upon their insistence after he had told them that he would be burned in effigy if he attempted to get such measure through the General Assembly, that he had included the public local bill and the public bill both into one to save time, and that he was ready to suffer whatever punishment the House saw fit to impose upon him.

He did not intend to do a wrong, but that he was virtually a new man in the Legislature and not advertent to all the rules, customs, and practices. He invited investigation of all other bills he had introduced. The House awaits the special committee's report. Among a batch of bills sent from the House to the Senate, for the deliberation of that body, Wednesday was one introduced by Representative Bumgarner, of Wilkes. According to the of the Senate, this particular bill was referred to the committee on judiciary No.

1. The committee considered the bill and found that its provisions were false to its title, and that instead of being solely applicable to Wilkes county, it applied to the entire Eighth Congressional district. Had the bill pass both houses and been ratified, it would have transferred the county of Wilkes from the Seventh to the Eighth Congressional district. Mr. Bumgarner is the Republican member of the House from Wilkes, and it seems his purpose was to pass bill under a misleading title that would restore Wilkes to the Eighth district and thereby make that district Republican.

its report at yesterday morning's session of the Senate, the committee on Judiciary No. 2, submitted the following report regarding its investigation of the Bumgarner measure: The Committee's Report. Report of the judiciary committee No. 1, on House bill No. 124 and Senate bill No.

223. The committee unanimously reports the above entitled bill unfavorably and recommends that it do not pass and submits the following: This bill was introduced by Mr. Bumgarner, the member of the House of Representatives form Wilkes and is entitled "A bill to be 'entitled an act relative to Wilkes county to repeal chapter five hundred and ninety three of public local laws of one thousand nine hundred and thirteen and amend public laws of one thousand nine hundred and eleven. The title is misleading and calculated to deceive, and the confidence which the General Assembly has heretofore placed in its members in all mattere, grossly concerning violated. local legislation This bill was introduced and passed its first reading in the House September the twenty-seventh and on September the twenty-ninth it passed the second and third readings and was ordered to the Senate without engrossment.

October the first it was read in the Senate by its title and I referred to the judiciary committee number one. An examination of the acts it is intended to repeal and to amend shows that the first section of the proposed chapter Ave hundred and -three, public local laws, nineteen hundred and thirteen, which is an act relative to the board of county commissioners of Wilkes county, authorizing the said board of commisstoners to allow the officers of that county a certain sum for clerk hire. A bill of such character is passed by the General Assembly without scrutiny or question upon the bare statement of the representative of the county that it is local and concerns only his county. The second section of the proposed bill is as follows: "Section 2. That the word "Wilkes' in line eighteen, chapter ninetyseven of public laws of one thousand nine hundred and eleven, be stricken WINCHESTER Rifle and Pistol Cartridges It's the careful and scientific manner in which Winchester cartridges are made and loaded which has earned for them a reputation for accuracy, reliability and uniformity which no other brands enjoy.

Winchester cartridge shells are carefully inspected before loading for size, length and conformity. All Winchester bullets are swaged by machinery which makes them exact in size, contour and density. Then the loading is done by automatic machinery which not only insures a uniform charge, but seats the bullet in the shell so that its axis coincides with that of the shell; hence with that of the barrel of the arm. These are a few of the many reasons why Winchester cartridges in all calibers are the most satisfactory on the market. Use the Brand They Shoot Straight and Strong Mark Trade out, and that the word "Wilkes" be inserted at the end of line twentyone of said chapter." Chapter ninety -seven, public laws of nineteen hundred and eleven, is ten Congressional districts.

efthe act dividing North Carolina, into fect of this bill, if it had passed, would be to take the county of Wilkes out of the Seventh Congressional district and to put it in the Ninth Congressional district. This committee desires to strongly condemn such an atempt on the part of the author of this bill to secure this character of general legislation by abusing and taking advantage of the courtesy which is invarlably extended to members the General Assembly as to local legisla-. tion, and to express its censure of this particular bill, its author, and his methods. It is recommended that this report be spread upon the journal and the committee directs that it be made to the Senate for the committee by Senators Daniel and Grant. W.
