Los Angeles, Cai., 'April 26.
John J. McXamara, secretary 01
the International Bridge and
Structural Iron Workers' Asso
ciation ; his brothei, James B.
McXamara, and Ortie K. McMan
igal, accused of activity in or
knowledge of the bloowing up of
the Times newspaper plant last
October when 21 men were killed
are in the Los Angeles jail to
night. They arc in separate cells
surrounded by extra guards.
All three are charged with mur
der. Their arrival in irons from In
dianapolis and Chicago signalizes
the beginning of a desperate legal
struggle. Thus far, however, no
definite arrangements have been
made for their defense. District
Attorney John D. Fredericks,
who said yesterday that the state
was ready to go to trial at once,
announced that the formality of
arraignment would now await the
convenience of the defense.
The alleged conspirators arriv
ed at the jail from Pasadena in
automobiles after running through
two crowds, which, in their eag
eruess to get a glimpse of the
prisoners, bore down more than a
score of detectives and deputy
sheriffs.
As James McXamara entered
an automobile to be taken to jail
he was seen by Mrs. D II. Inger
soll, a San Francisco boarding
house keeper, with whom J. 11.
Bryce stayed before the Times ex
plosion. James McXamara. according to
detectives is held as Rryce. the
man alleged to have laid the in
fernal machine that blew up the
newspaper plant. Mrs. Ingersoll
piercd into the face of McXa
mara as he entered the machine
The man was shackclcd to an of
ficer, but he kent H- unbound
hand before his face. In spite of
this Mrs. Ingersoll declared af
terward that he was Bryce.
Xo one, however, could havi
identified him as Bryce from tin
printed descriptions sent out at
ter the indictments were found by
the grand jury. Thin and pale
he looked little like the 160-pound
man described in the official cir
culars.
Mrs. Ingersoll will again con
front him in jail tomorrow.
At no time was there evident
the least sign of anger on the part
of the crowds or of a disposition
to justify the apparent fear of the
officers that an attempt might be
made to rescue the prisoners.

Washington, D. C, April 26.
A total eclipse of the sun is sche
duled for April 28, visible in the
Southern States as a partial
eclipe. As a totality it will be
observed only on- the Archipel
agoes of Kongo, Samoa, and Un
ion, of which Vairvait Island, of
the first named group, has been
selected by the English expedi
tions as the best point of observa
tion. American observatories will
send out no expedition, because
of the atmospheric conditions on
the islands named. On some of
them at this season rain falls on
an average of seven out of twelve
days. The Germans, having a
permanent meterological station
at Samoa, will endeavor to make
observations.
"The partial eclipse of April 28
will be visible as far northeast as
Washington if the sky and the
horizon are clear. Pittsburg and
Cincinnati also might catch a
trlimpse of it. Practically all of
Mexico and the southern two
thirds of the United States ought
to see it quite well. I have made
no plans for observing the phen-onon."

A GREAT MEETING ENJOYED BY MANY VISITORS
Large Delegation from Greensboro The Days Proceedings Wind
Up With the Big Parade
BY MAMIE BAYS.
Xo feature of the State Sunday
School Convention is attracting
more favorable and more wide
spread attention than is the mus
ic. The singing of Mr. ajjd Mrs.
Butler and the piano accompani
ments of Miss Anderson arc look
ed forward to every session with
the greatest pleasure. Mr. and
Mrs Butler have been givin
their talent to evangelistic work
for several years, and recently
Miss Anderson has made the
same choice. The Times Record
er of Zanesville, Ohio, has this to
say of Miss Anderson : "The play
ing of Miss Mary Anderson, pian
"st at the Torrey meetings has
excited no little attention because
of the unusual skill of the plavcr.
who is a talented musician. In
Xovember. 1909, she joined Dr.
Torrey and has been with the
company almost continuously
since that time." It was Dr. Tor
rey who first referred to Mr. But
ler as the "Singer from the South,
with orange blossoms in his
voice." and it was he who so
highly commended Mrs. Butler in
her rendition of "The Holy City"
as to say that after having heard
licr, he wanted her. instead of Mr
Butler, to sing this solo thereaf
ter in his meetings Tt is a source
of special pleasure to the con
vention to know that Mrs. Butler
will sing as a solo "The Holy
City" at the close of the song
service with which the sess.on of
this evening begins.
It is very probable that the seat
g capacity of the warehouse
will be taxed to its utmost this
evening, 011 account of the large
number of delegates who arrive
today, increasing the attendance
by several hundred, and on ac
count, also, of the special interest
in the program.
Mr. Marion Lawrence arrived
this morning and he will speak
this afternoon and this evening,
his subjects being those which
will deal with questions of vital
interest to the work of the Sun
day school, and he will be beard
with unusual pleasure.
Opening Session.
The opening session of the con
vention, held yesterday afternoon,
was most auspicious. The large
auditorium in which the session
was lidd, contained scores and
hundreds of delegates to the con
vention and residents of High
Point.
Rev. R. M. Andrews, of Hen
derson, president, called the State
Sunday School Association to
order promptly at 3.30 o'clock,
the appointed hour. The conven
tion opened with a song and de
votional service which Mr. and
Mrs. Butler conducted.
After the close of this service,
Mr. Andrews introduced Hon
Fred N. Tate, Mayor of High
Point, who delivered the address
of welcome to the convention.
Mr. Tate began with the state
ment that it was not his purpose
to take up the time of the conven
tion with a long addres,. He said
that it was not necessary for him
to tell the convention the ad
vantages and benefits of u:i.
Point, nor to tell what she is-and
wnat she expects to be.
Mr. Tate said further that dur
mc Pm two years he had
neen called upon to welrnm.
number of conventions holding
their sessions in this city, but that
never had he experienced such
pleasure in this connection as
upon this special occasion. His
concluding statement was that
when he extended welcome to the
Sunday School Convention to
High Point, he did so in the name
of every man, woman and child
who is a resident of this city.
Mr. E. S. W. Dameron, of Bur
lington, delivered t lie response to
the address of welcome. After ex
pressing, for the convention, ap
preciation for the cordial welcome
extended, he referred to the work
"f the Sunday school, and show
ed this organization to be one in
which the workers arc united in
.1 common cause under a common
banner, their object being the
oiiiinst oi the world for Jesus
thrist. lie emphasized the fact
;ilso that one great object of the
Sunday school in Xorth Carolina
is to place the Bible in the hands
of every man, woman and child in
the state.
Mr. Dameron referred to the
church, the state, and the home
as th- three great corner stones
of the nation and showed that
the Sunday school is an ally of all
of the-e ."-peaking of the fact that
three of the Presidents of the
United States in recent years, in
cluding President Taft. have sent
encouraging messages to the
Sunday School leaders of the
world, he said that fact is signifi
cant and shows that these men
occupying the highest place in
the nation recognize the Sunday
school as an ally of civic right
eousness and a guardian of the
home.
The other feature on the after
noon program was the annual ad
dress of the president. Mr. An
drews spoke on the subject, " The
Value of a Vision," and his ad-
lress was one which evidenced
careful thought and earnest ap
peal. He began with the state
ment that the best of man is with
in him and is not material He
then showed the value of a vision
in the pursuit of that perfection of
ife which every christian desires
to attain .Manv people, lie said.
ire needing ana wanting a vision.
and that the difference between
success and failure, between sal
vation and damnation depend'
largely upon vision.
Speaking ot the transtoimmg
power of vision Mr. Andrews said
that it is the power which expel
evil and develops good, and that
no life can afford to lose sight oi
vision which is the force that lift
men and women above the thing-
which discourage.
The speaker last evening was
Rev. C. W. Byrd, D. I")., of Ashc
ville. It was expected that Rev.
C. X. Tyndall, D. I)., of Fayctte-
villc, would be present also and
speak at that hour, but he was
detained at home, on account of
illness. The theme of Dr. Bvrd's
address was the supreme need of
Sunday school workers, and he
showed that as individuals and as
a class what these workers need
above all else is touch with life
with the life of Jesus Christ. He
emphasized the fact that lesus
Christ is the only perfect man
physically, intellectually, and
spiritually, that the world has
ever seen, and that He alone fur
nishes a model for men and worn
en of today to look to for direc
tion and uplift.
Dr. l'.yrd s address was filled
with earnestness and appeal and
was heard with close attention
and frequent expressions of ap
proval. The social hour held at the close
of the program was an enjoyable
eaturc of the evening.
TODAY'S SESSION.
After the song services of the
session this morning the presi-
lent oi the State Association an
nounced several committees. Thf
next hour was devoted to hear
ing the reports of the work of the
ast e;ir from the superintend
ents ot (litterent departments.
Mrs. E. R. Michaux, supcrintend-
nt oi elementary work, Rev. J.
Caldwell, of teacher training,
were not able to be present. The
reports submitted were from Mrs.
C. D. Mclver, home department.
r. B. Eldridge, organized adult
lass, Miss Dora Redding, visita
tion.
Rev. L. F. Johnson, statistician,
was not present, and I. Van Car
ter, general secretary, read his re
port. This report showed that
leven denominations are affiliat
d in the Sunday school work
f the state. These denominations
re Friends, Christian. Episcopa
lian. Presbyterian, Methodist,
Missionary Baptist, Methodist
'rotestant, Reformed, Disciples,
Moravian, and Lutheran. J. Van
arter, general secretary, suhmit
d his annual report and this re-
iort furnished all of the evidence
leccssary to prove that he has
iceii an exceedingly busy man
luring the past year, and
hat his first year in this office
has been one of marked success.
He has travelled extensively over
the state, has a number of county
ind township conventions and de
livered numerous addresses.
Mr. Carter paid a high tribute
o Miss Maude Rcid, the efficient
iffice secretary of the state asso
ciation. It is not to be question
al that she is the officer whose
vork is of more detail and is more
lifficult than that of any officer
onnectcd with the state associa
tion. I he success which has
iceii attained in this association
s due to the cheerful, constant
work of Miss Rcid to a much larg
er degree than manv ol the .Sun-
lay school workers of the state
realize.
The report of the treasurer was
ubinittcd. Miss Reid presenting

liled the largest amount during
the year, and has won the banner
'or contribution.
X. B. Broughton, who has been
the efficient chairman of the exe
cutive committee of the state as
sociation for the past sixteen
years, submitted a report that
was encouraging throughout. This
raport emphasized especially the
fact of the increase in denomina
tional activity during the past
year.
Mr. Broughton referred to his
long term as chairman of the exe
cutive committee and asked to be
