It took only $30,000 to\nclear Vincent Altman of Chicago and\nif they could not convict him they\ncan't convict me.\"\nThis boast, attributed today by Detective McLaren to JameB B. McNamara, as the latter was being taken\nfrom Detroit to Chicago on the night\nof April 12 last, caused Ortle E. McManigal, then also under arrest, to become angered with McNamara for his\nindependence and was the firBt circumstance that led McManlgal to break\nfrom his companion and eventually to\nconfess his connection with dynamite\nexplosions throughout the country.\nHear McManlgal'a Story.\nThe federal grand jury heard Mc-\nManigal's story today and will hear\nmore of it tomorrow, laying the foundations for the prolbe into the alleged\ndynamiting conspiracy, that extended\nfrom coast to coast, in the laBt three\nyears. The McNamaras were not\nbrought before the federal grand jury\nand It may be that McManigal's story\nwill be regarded as sufficient and\nthat the other two will be removed to\nSan Quentin without interrogation\nhere.\nDetails of what McManlgal knows\nof the alleged conspiracy win be given before, .the grand jury. That his\nstory implicates other men in the International Association of Bridge and\nStructural Iron Workers became\nknown through various sources. McManigal alleges that persons other\nthan John J. McNamara, the secretary-\ntreasurer paid him for the 20 \"jobs'\nof dynamiting, which he says he accomplished since 1907.\nAs the question has been raised as\nto the competency of testimony from\nconvicted felons, it is considered unlikely that the declarations of the McNamaras, if any, will be of consequence, for such testimony could not\nbe used in court against those indicted.\nRecreant to Labor's High Ideals.\nWASHINGTON, Dec. 7.\u2014Branding\nJames B. McNamara and John J. McNamara as recreant to the good name\nand high idealB of labor, and expressing the satisfaction of organized labor\nthat the culprltB have been commen-\naurately punished for their crime, the\nMcNamara ways and means committee of the American Federation of Labor, after two days' conference here,\ntoday issued a statement vigorously\ncondemning the McNamaraB for their\ninhumanity and declaring that organized labor should not be held, either\nlegally or morally, responsible for the\ncrimes of an Individual member.\nThe labor leaders asserted that they\nwould . welcome any investigation\nwhich either federal or state government might undertake. The statement Is signed by every member of\nthe McNamara committee except F.\nM.

The\nmerits of the scheme and Its practical\noperation are explained in the following letter:\nTo the Editor of The Daily News:\nSir\u2014I would ask your Indulgence\nwhile outlining a new 'proposal on\npublicity lines, immediately applicable\nto the .whole of West Kootenay.\nThe letter writing ability of thousands of well-informed citizens of the\n'.Vest Kootenay is a latent force that\nhitherto has not been applied in any\nsystematic way for publicity. The deduction is that a powerful agency for\nterritorial publicity could lie created\nif a way to utilize that forc;e could be\nfound.\nA Force and a Field.\n1 would invite your attention to four\nsets of facts:\n1. The man, woman, hoy or girl, who\ncan write, and does write, many au\ninteresting letter to the friends \"back\nhome,\" can write an equally interesting letter to the paper \"hack home.\"\n2. The paper \"back home\" is more\nthan glad to 'get just. , such letters,\nwhich, its editor knows, ure read hy\nthe whole community with a particular\ninterest.\nOf the 25,000 boosters of the West\nKootenay, 10 out of -0 probably can\nfairly claim the interest of some community \"back home.\"\nThe human race accomplishes its\nchief progress in the winter, and this\nseason of leisure and orainwork is the\nseason in which to reach the people\n\"back home.\"\nTerritorial Press Corps.\nThe Nelson Publicity Bureau wishes\nto suggest the formation of the logical\norganization toward which the above\nfjicts point, an organization whose task]\nwill be to conduct a winter's \"campaign of education\" regarding ttie West\nKootenay in the home papery. The organization could appropriately be\ncalled the West Kootenay Corps ot\nHome Press correspondents. Its official object .would be to make tiie character, resources and present development of the West Kootenay known far\nand wide. Ub working principle certainly ought to be, \"community of interest.\"\nThe obligations of membership could\nbe to write 10 letters reflecting life\nand conditions in the West Kootenay\nto the home paper during lhe winter.\nThe type of organization could in1\nthe simplest possible. All that would\nbe necessary would be for all the correspondents to be duly enrolled, and\nassigned to the papers for which they\ndesired to act. This much centralization would be desirable for two reasons: First, to avoid waste of effort\nthrough different correspondents selecting the same paper; second, to permit a certain amount df Intelligent direction of the work, only feasible by\nnil parties (being in touch. Aside front\nthis necessary machinery, the organization would be limited to the members themselves, each one an active\nforce.\nOne Thousand Members Wanted.\nNow let ub Imagine 1,000 correspondents, from all the localities of the\nWest Kootenay, writing to their homo\npapers, published in 1,000 communities\nscattered over eastern Canada, tho\nBritish isles, the United States and\nother countries. Here are 1,000 chaltis\nof IntereBt being forged between valuable constituencies of readers and the\nWest Kootenay. Every community in\nour bountiful territory would be securing direct publicity according to the\nmeasure of Its literary enterprise, and\nthe, West Kootenay\u2014more or less described in every series of letters-\nwould receive a diversified advertisement that would be a good beginning\ntowards placing It on the map of the\nworld.\nIs 1,000 volunteer press correspondents too large a number to ask for? I\ndo not think bo. There are thousands\nof good boosters In the \"West Kootenay who want to be shown a way to\nhelp.\nHere is a way thev can help: Man\nfor man, there Ib probably not nn acri-\ncultural ponulatlon In the worM that\nhas the attainments of the ranching\npopulation of the West Kootenny.' It\nwould he play for them to assist, during their winter leisure. Hundreds of\nmining men and miners are either\nspending quiet evenings in the bunk-\nhouses or are men of leisure for the\nwinter . In the towns. They have the\nopportunity. The townspeople have\nexchanged the summer cultivation of\nbrown for the winter cultivation of\nbrain, and the work proposed should\nbe in their line. Finally, it Ib hard to\nImagine an intelligent family In the\nWest Kootenay tihat could not contribute one correspondent, If so disposed.\nSo we boldly submit that a membership of 1,000 for tip w\u2014' Kootenay\nCorps nf \"y^aan 'AOudespondent's\nsecuring Members.\nUnder the circumstances no one will\nBerlously object if the Nelson publicity\nbureau assumes to step into, the breach\nand provide the central machinery required. Accordingly, a roll-book foi\nthe West Kootenay Corps of Home\ncorrespondents will be opened by this\nbureau at once, and enrollment of volunteers will commence forthwith. First,\nsecond and third choices of papers\nshould Ibe given, wherever possible, by\nintending members. Supporters of this\nmovement will best assist the cause\nhy sending in their natt>\u00ab. with their\nchoices of papers and by hustling to\nsecure other members in their particular-community. No person desiring to\nco-operate should wait a day.\nThere are a large number of progressive organizations closely covering\nthe West Kootenay, whose office is to\npromote the public welfare. This plan,\nin my estimation, ought to appeal to\nthose organizations, as worthy of active Bupport. and I think that thev\nmlght very well take the lead in their\nseveral communities In rolling up the\nmembership. If 1 might make them\nthis public intimation, they are: Nelson Improvement association, West\nKootenay Farmers' institute, New Denver Town Improvement association,\nSouth Kootenay Farmers' institute\n(Columbia valley), Edgewood & Fire\nValley Progress association, Kootenay\nLake Farmers' institute. Trail Improvement association, Creston Farmers' institute. Queen's Bay Fruit Growers'\nassociation, Crawford Bay Farmers' institute, Boswell Kootenay Lake union,\nSlocan Valley Citizens' league, Ranchers' Union of the Arrow Lakes, Pend\nd'Oreille Settlers' association, Outlet\nPublicity; bureau. Nakusp Farmers' institute.\nI omit tiie boards of trade, which\nshould head any list, because in all\nenses hut that of Rossland some other\norganization exists that could more appropriately discharge this particular\ntask. If committees were formed in\nthe various communities, or if public\nmeetings were called to take up the\nmatter, progress would be rapid.\nWhen once the membership is obtained, an advantageous move would\nbe for the members In any one community to form a local press corps,\nelect a dean as presiding officer and\nmeet for freouent conference.\nEveryone en Firing Line.\nMr, Editor, it seems to me that we\nhave outlined above the skeleton of a\nmagnificent organization. Here is the\nlogical task to the hand of the individual who is anxious to help liis community and country. Every member\nwill he on the firing line, a role that\nin most organizations falls to only a\nfew. The work of writing a series ol\nletters to the home paper is a valuable\nwork for the community and the territory and it is an agreeable and improv\nIng one for the correspondent. My expectation is that this plan will introduce hundreds of persons to an agreeable and, intellectual recreation that\nwill thereafter always have a charm\nfor them.\nIf you will permit me, in closing i\nwill urge every progressive reader o*\"\nthese lines, of either sex, to be an Individuality, avail of the one door that\nis open to every reputable person\u2014\nthe home paper\u2014and enroll as a Home\nPress correspondent for the West\nKootenay, the fairest land, with the\nmost diversified resources, that a people were ever blessed with.\nH.

The\nBervlce now in existence via England\nis a much quicker service than the one\nproposed, having the advantage of being a weekly service, whereas the\none by the Allan line is a fortnightly\nservice.\nCheaper Rates\nThe advantage of this direct service\nIs that all parcels that are not required\nto he delivered in a hurry may be\nsent at a much cheaper rate and thus\nbenefit the purchaser in the case ot\nCanada, and the sender in the case\nof France. Parcels trom France come\nto Canada on what Is called the triple\nscale, that'is three classes of parcels\nare sent up to three pounds, up to\nseven and a half pounds,, and up to 11\npounds. The rate on three pounds is\nat present three pounds is at present\n55cents cents; seven and a half pounds\n95 cents and 11 pounds $1.55. This arrangement will of course remain li.\nforce as regards parcels coming to\nCanada via England.\nUnder the new arrangement, the\nscale of weights prevails but the rat Glare very materially reduced, being at\nthe rate of 42 cents for three pousds,\n55 cents for seven and a half pounds\nand 67 cents for 11 pounds.\nMAY DELAY MAIL\nLIVERPOOL, Dec, 7\u2014During a gale\nlast night, the Cunard liner Mauretania\nsnapped her anchor chains and swunr\nacross the1 Mersey.
