For two months, however, he has not made a move that detectives have not follow ed and reported on. McNamara lives with his wdfe and family in a handsome home at 2,9.54 VVasiiington boulevard, Indianapolis. The California offlcer gave him a few minutes with them before rush ing him to an early evening train for the West. The arrest of James W. McNamara and his side partner, young McNani- gal could have been accomplished several months ago, had merely lock ing them up been sufficient to the case. It was necessary to get them to gether at a time when they had dy namiting machinery in their posses sion. They executed several outrages indepeildently, but never until they set out for the “Detroit demonstra I tion” did they decide on a job to get her. The pulling :n of the many detec tive lines began on April 11 when W .]. Burns learned that the two were to meet in Toledo. He knew that De troit wa:s their objective point and decided that the arrest should be made there by his son, Raymond Burns, of the Chicago office. Captain Stephen B. Wood, ch'ef of detectives of the Chicago police de partment, had been co-operating in the case and assigned city detective sergeants Guy Bigginger and William H. Reed to accompany Raymond Burns McNamara was picked up by Burns operatives as he left his brothers Office in Indianapolis and followed to Toledo. At the same time Raymond ■Burns and the Chicago detectives were traveling behind McNanigal to the same destlnaion. McNamara met McMaginal at the Toledo railroad station and took hto to a small hotel not far away. The detect Ives watched outside the hotel all night in the rain. After breakfast the dynamiters sat for two botirs smoking in the window of the hotel office. Then they went to the station, carr^ig a big handbag and an ob viously heavv suit case. They bought tickets for Detroit and the detec tives followed suit. On reaching Detfoit they walked to the Oxford hotel. They did not reK* ister but checked their baggage. Mc Namara suggested to his companion that they go for a stroll. Just otitsite the hotel door Bigginger and the Chicago sergeants, grabbed them from behind while Raymond Burns covered them with a revolver and told them they were under arrest. “What the h was McNama ras only exclamation. “What have we done?” demanded McMaginal.

"With my system of living T i^ouldn't be surprised if 1 should live to be one hundred and fifty years old. "My system of living that enables me to work twice as hard as a Harri man of a Stubbs and think twice as long is based on: (1) Proper eating. “(2> Proper sleeping. “(3) Proper clothing.” A reporter for the International News Service found Edison in the workshop of his laboratory in Orange this morning. The time slips in the office showed he had already worked 97 hours and 40 minutes during the week ending today. Nightfall this evening made it seven teen hours a day for the inclusive six days from Monday to Saturda>\ And forty-eight hours of the work was put in at one stretch! “Think, of that!

But I don’t work as hard as I used to.’ he continued, a trifle apologetically Then it was twenty hours of an aver age, except Sunday, Now I put in about sixteen hours a day in my work shop. “Not that T haven't got It In me to do more,’’ he added Quickly, “for tm occasions I do as much as I ever did And at that I think twice as much an# work iw'ice as long as most other men.

Stubbs says thinking in bed killed Harriman. Why did Har riman think in bed? Because he ate too much. 1 eat one-fourth as much as Harriman did and one-fifth as much as Stubbs doeis.

Washington, April ^2.—An armis tice, to be followed by plans for permanent place, has been agreed up on by the Mexican government, and the revolutionists. Wtiile not officially announced, it is understood General Francisco I Madero, leader of the revolutionists, withdrew his demand for the immedi ate resignation of President Diaz as a necessary condition precedent to the cessation of hostilities. In return Diaz, it is, said, will grant new and fair election for all officers of the Mexican government from the president dow-n. Vice-President Corral, now on the way to Europe, and Minister of Fi nance Yves Limantour, both detested by the insurrectos, are to resign Dr. Vasquez Gomez, diplomatic rep resentative of the Madero provisioilal government, gave out the peace news in the following announcement to- day: “I am in’receipt of a telegram today from General Madero, telling me that an armistice has been agreed upon be tween himself, as head of the revolu tionary party, and Senor de La Barra, as repi*eBentative of the Mexican Fed eral government. A commission will be appointed by both sides to discuss permanent peace plans. “Pending the appointment of the peace commission and the discussion of peace all hostilities will*cease* on both sides. This means that the Fed- erals will continue to occupy- Jaurez and that the revolutionists will not abandon their position about the city. , I am not at Ijberty to state in de tail what the terms of peace will be. All that will depend upon possible agreements or mutual concessions honorable to both parties.” Madero’s telegram to Dr. Gomez fol lows; “Taking into consideration the ac tual situation, General Madero He Was Picked Up From Hotel Floor in Piteous Con dition—Doctors Hold Out Very Little Hope of Recov ery.

Young Mal- com Arnold, real estate dealer, wa& picked up from a local hotel floor at : 30 this afternoon with a bullet through his left lung. The young fellow had gone to the hotel to talk to a former sweetheart, with whom he had ceased relations three .years ago. They talked a few minutes, when her mother called her away.

(By OTHEMAN STEVEN8) Mexico City, Mexico, April 22.—Mitt* ister of foreign affairs De La Barrfli was receiving me this morning when he received the telegram from Dr. Vasquez. Gomez saying that Madero had accepted the doctor’s suggestion for, an armistice. The minister, without undue exul tation said; “I’m naturally greatly pleated to know that Dr. Gomez has brought Mr. Madero to his point of view. The gov* ernment, will on reception of Official confirmation of the news, begin work to* arrange the details and stipulation ac- '.neccessary. I told you yesterday that cepts the armistice proposal covering i had good basis for my belief that the zone between Juarez and the city matters could still be arranged com of Chicuahua, in order to negotiate peace in conferences that are to fol low.” • The new’s was immediately tele graphed by Dr. Gomez to Senor de La Barra, minister of foreign affairs at Mexico City. Dr. Gomez said: “I confidently expect that peace wall he established w'ithin a week and that the war is over. The terms of the ar mistice are the terms of peace. “The negotiations for peace will be along the same lines as indicated in patibly with* the dignity • of the na tion and the proof of my assertion seems to be coming rapidly.” A short time later Minister* Liman tour received me and while speaking guardedly did not entirely conceal his great satisfaction at the situation. H© said; “We have received confirmation from Dr. Gomez of Mr. Madero’s ac ceptance of Dr. Gomez’s project for an armistice. This originated from the* talk 1 had with Dr. Gomez in New York at the request of the senior Ma dero.

Montgomery, Ala., April 22.—Sheriff Hood today seized about $5,000 worth of liquor, resulting from the raid of Burkhardt’s store on'Bell street. A special guard was stationed at the store pending arrangements for re moval of the goods. Henry R. and^ James F. Burkhardt, proprietors, w^ere the United States for Mexico delighted with the outcome. 1 see per manent and happy peace in the future tor Mexico.” Ambassador Zamacona was el?.tea. He said; “I see an end to the disturbances in my country. It is gratifying news to all patriotic Mexicans. Several months hence, or less, the country will see peace and amity again.” With great satisfaction he summon ed Secretary of War Dickinson and Secretary Knox for a short conference. All expressed great pleasure. It is believed the armistice will re lieve both the Mexican 'and United States governments of an embarras sing tangle over the Douglas (Ari zona) incidents. Asked what was con* pr eh ended by “the zone between Jiurez and the city of Chicuahua,” in which the armistice is to be effected, Dr. Gomez declared, he was not yet certain but expected a more definite statement soon. He intimated that if the zone did not in clude most of the American border lie would make such a suggestion, as he was desirous of forestalling any furth er complications on the boundary line. It is tielieved here that while the armistica is to include only a small part of Mexico, it win have the moral effect of producing at least temporary inactivity on the part of the insur gents in other parts of the republic. Dr. Gomez believes peace negotia tions should be conducted on Mexican territory at some city where neither Federal nbr insurgent forces are iu ©viddicc. Among the reforms which President Diaz is understood. to have pi'omised is the removal of certain governors of Mexican states objectionable to the Maderistas. say that if Mr. Medero and Ws asso ciates are actuated by the same spirit of patriotic devotion to Mexico as moves the members of the administra tion there will be little diffl-culty in bringing about an end to all the- trou ble. We do not know yet how far Mr. Madero intends the armistice to apply. What 1 mean is we are not informed whether he proposes to allow Dr. Go mez to negotiate for an armistice cov ering other regions of Mexica or sim ply the territory contiguous to Jaurez.” A cabinet meeting wall be held this evening at which the entire question will be thrashed out and a basis foP action adopted. — -vj-.; _ Progtesstves Put Up Fight in Senate Washington, April 22.—A truce was arranged today in thfe fight between the progressive and regular republican senators for representation on tbe senate committees.
