The MfXainaraa were not brought be
fore the federal grand Jury, and It may
b that McManlgal'. story will be re
Rnrdnd aa aufflclcnt, and the other two
will be removed to Kan Quentln without
Interrogation hrre.

today that i: r no rlrcumstancea would

)lt wait understood that Jamea B. Mo
TVamara would refiiaa to give testimony
to the fedeial grand Jury.
: Dotal! of what McManlgal knows of
tlie alleged conspiracy were given to the
grand Jury today. That lila story 1m
pllcatea other men In the International
Association of Bridge and Structural Iron
Workers became known through various
sources. McManlgal alleges that persona
'other than John J. McNamara, the secretary-treasurer,
paid him for the twenty
"Jobs" of dynamiting which he aaya he
aecompllahed line 1907. Aa the question
had been raised aa to competency of tes
timony from oonvlotsd felons. It was con
sidered unlikely that the revelations of
the McNamarga would be of consequence,
for auch testimony could not be used In
vourt against those Indicted.
Ths story of McManlgal, who has not
ye( been brought to trial, will be of rreat
valu to the government's Investigation
and the stats will not try him on the In
dlctmenta against him until the federal
authorities are through.
Kven then, it was asserted tonight on
good authority. .District Attorney Fred-'

and who baa soen In cloas. co-operation

appointed by the proaeoutor In the fed

version of the evidence and clroujustancM
which led up to the arrest of MeManlgal
wltU McNamara In Detroit.
Mclaren told In mlnuto detail the dates, 1
hours and places of his shadowing of No
Manlgal for a long period prior to his
arrest. When ho confronted McManlgal
with the knowledge that, he had thus
gained the dynamiter decided to breaJc
from his companion and tell all he'knew.
, "About the seventh or eighth of April
lal." said McLaren, "I picked up Mc
Manlgal at tits home In Chicago, lie had

RIGHT TO USE WATER FOR
PURPOSESjHJTSIDE STATE
(From a Staff Corrspondent.)
LINCOLN, Dec. 8. (Special.) Has the
Hate. Board of Irrigation power to give
permission to take water from tlx? rivers
of the commonwealth? Such a case came
up before the supreme court today for
trial.
Over two years sgo Ec I Kirk of fcloux
City made application to the Nebraska
Plate Board of Irrigation to take certain
water out uf the Niobrara river, for
power purpoHes, the point of division be
ing in Knox county. ' The plan was to
utilize this power for Ploux city enter
prises. For a short time after thus the state
board granted the right .to Mr. Kirk, but
according to section 42, article 2 ot the
Nebraska Irrigation laws, such a grant
could net be made by the stcte board.
After this defeated Mr. Kirk's plan he
appealed to the district court of Knox
county, and hero the Irrigation law was
sustained. Accordingly, the case waa
taken to the supreme court, where Kirk
takes tho position that the state legisla
ture can take in measures it may see fit
In a case of this kind, but that the State
Board of Irrigation has no legal right to
do other than what Is prescribed by the
legislature.
