t Before Grand Jury
IN'DAS'APOIJS, Iud.. Dec. 22.-Claude
K. Myers, chief of police of Tiffin, O.,
where HQ pounds of dynamite and other
explosives were found hidden in a barn
the day after the arreBt of John -J. Mc
Namara In Indianapolis, on April 22, was
the chief witness before the federal grand
jury in the Investigation of the dynamit
ing conspiracy today.
He was among those from whom It was
raid, the investigators expected to learn
facts as (o who, besides the McNamaras
and Ortle McManlgal. were Implicated
particularly In the explosions In Penn
sylvania, Ohio and Indiana to carry on
which ..the stores of explosives at Tiffin
were used as a base of supplies. . Infor
mation was said, to have been obtained
by District Attorney - diaries W. Miller
that the explosions were directed from
McNamara's headquarters in Indianapolis.
LGS .ANQEIjES, ' Dec, St. H. A. Clan-
cey, the Ban Francisco labor leader, whs
answered a Bubpoena to appear bVore
i the federal ,4 rand Jury. - which is Inves
tigating the- alleged nation-wide uTna
mite conspiracy, said today that be had
been told 'the Jury would not call him
' until Tie was ready to talk first' with
the government prosecutor.
Apparently Clancey rejected this sug
. gestlon, for he left the federal building
immediately afterward. His statement
caused many conjecture as to what he
meant.
Snow of Two Days
Makes Record for
Extent and Depth
The snow storm that for two days pre
vailed from central Iowa west to the
mountains broke Thursday night and Fri
day clear and colder weather Is reported
over the entire area, with high winds In
western Nebraska and throughout Wyoming.
Reports to the railroads are to the
effect that so far as the fall of snow
was concerned the storm of Wednesday
and Thursday holds the record of recent
years.
Over Nebraska the snow was general,
ranting from three to eight Inches, with
the heaviest fall In the southwestern
portion of the state and up In the sand
hills.
Up through the northwestern portion
of Nebraska no single snow fall In many
years has aproached that of Wednesday
and Thursday. From a short distance
north and west of Alliance and all the
way through to Dcadwood and well up
toward Billings the ground Is covered
with snow and for stretches of miles It
Is from eighteen to twenty Inches deep.
Up In this territory ths mercury this
mernlns; was around cero.
SCHOOL FUNDLAW VIOLATED
Board of Education Aaks Treasurer
to Correct Practice.
HE HOLDS BONDS AS TRUSTEE
WOMAN DROWNS IN RAIN
BARREL THROUGH ACCIDENT
HURON. 8. D., Dec. 22. (Special Tele
gram.) Minnie, wife of John Isaenhuth,
commercial traveler, was drowned In a
rain barrel this evening. She is sup
posed to have fallen In while trying to
get water. She, with her sister, had
been addressing Christmas packages and
, while the sister went . to the. postofflce

Law neqoires All Kind Shall Be
Carried as Treasurer of District
Ex-offlclo and la No Case to
Be Carried as a Trustee.
R. V. Cole, chairman of the finance
committee of the Board of Education,
backed by the other members, 8. P. Bost-
wlck and W. T. Bourke. hava discovered
that the treasurer of the school district
has been violating the law and the policy
of the board by holding school funds as
trustee instead of treasurer of the district.
'"It hasn't been the safest way," said
Mr. Cole, "and by advice of the board's
attorney, Carl Herring, we believe the
passage of a resolution ordering the treas
urer to hold funds aa treasurer and not
as trustee Is necessary." v
Mr. Herring said that under the present
system the treasurer, "In case anything
should happen," could not be held re
sponsible for the funds. The board has
passed the following resolution, suggested
and approved by Comptroller Fred H,
Cosgrove, covering the point:
Whereas, It has come to the attention of
the finance committee that the treasurer
is carrying certain funds of the school
district, notably ths bond redemption tuna
school Insurance fund, teachers' retire
ment investment fund and the Edward
Rosewater scholarshiD fund, aa trustee,
whereas It Is opposed to the policy of
this board and the law for the treasurer
to carry any fund of ths district In any
capacity other than as treasurer ex-of-
flclo of the Board of Education, and
Whereas, This practice haa grown up
through various administrations without
fault or criticism of any. one, but In order
to correct the practice and to eliminate
any doubt as to the required methods, be
Resolved. That the treasurer be. and Is
hereby directed and Instructed to carry
all funds of the school district as treas
urer of this district and in no case as
trustee. Transfer from one fund' to
another to be made upon written notice
to the treasurer ana comptroller by
proper resolution of the board trans
mitted by ths treasurer of this board.

Examiner, of Plays
in London Kesigns
LONDON, Dec. 2. London's dramatic
censor, George Alexander Red ford, known
officially as the "examiner of plays," re
signed his position today. Charles E.
Brookfield, who was appointed his as
sistant on November VI, last, is to suc
ceed htm. ,
It Is understood that Mr. Redford re
signed because Mr. Brookfield was ap
pointed to assist him. Mr. Redford
tonight declined to discuss the matter,
beyond saying:
"After all, seventeen years of reading
bad plays is enough for toy man."
The appointment of Mr. Brookfield last
November caused considerable stir In the
advanced section of the dramatlo world,
represented by George Bernard Shaw and
Granville Barker, which denounced It aa
"shameful." Older managers, like Sir.
Herbert Beerbohm Tree, favored the ap-.
polntment.

Do Kerosene Lamps
Cause Explosions?
WASHINGTON, Dec. 22. Whether kero
sene oil lamps explode was the question
debated by attorneys today before the
supreme court In concluding the argu
ments as to the constitutionality of the
North Carolina statute for the Inspection
of illuminating oil.
R. W. WInslow of Raleigh. N. C, con
tended that neither he nor any of the
justices had ever seen an oil lamp ex
plode and that tales of such explosions
were as "fictitious as the sea serpent, or
Mrs. Harris of Dickens fame."
