The prospects aie that the "tmocrats will grapple with the big gest problems of the next four years at the outset of the administration. If the tariff, the trust question, and the currency question are tackled, this will mean that the extra session will st most or all of next summer.

Confident of McNamara's Escape. Confident that the agitation over the Los Angeles explosions would "blow over" and that James B. SscNamara would be free to do "more jobs," Mc Manigal added, plans were begun in January, 1911, to carry on the dyna mite campaign with zest. "When I reported to J. J.

"About this time," McManigal testi fied, "John J. was startled by receiv ing a newspaper account of the finding of a suit case at San 'Francisco. J.

He said a roan named Bd Francis had told the board he had two Cleveland men who would do the south Chicago job for $500, but the executive board bad asked Hockin whether it could be done cheaper, per haps fdr J200 or $300. J. B. and I looked over the south Chicago plant and decided to do it. "We went to Indianapjjls and got our packages, each containing 20 pounds i of dynamite. John J. McNa mara instructed us he wanted four ex plosions on the plant, saying if we did a good job he would pay us $100 extra. He said he would have to wait until local No. l, in Chicago, paid the money, but Patty Ryan had called us up and said he wanted the job done. "When we reached Chicago, the dy namite was frozen.

McMani gal so testified. He named men other than the Mc Namaras as having inspired the second Los Angeles plot He said he learned on reaching Los Angeles that the aux iliary plant was too well guarded. In stead, he set a bomb in an ironworks plant to explode on Christmas day. That was the "Christmas present" he said Olaf A.

It is, "Who is the 1912 speed champion?" .That ques tion is agitating the friends of both Teddy 'Tetzlaff and De Palma, who burned up thousands of miles of tracks and roads this year. Friends of De Palma say that the plucky little driver who so narrowly escaped death at Milwaukee is entitled to first honors for the year, while Tetzlaffs followers are insistent that he is the particular one who should wear the crown of the speed king. In comparing his record -with that of De Palma. a friend. of Tetzlaff says: "Tetzlaff has always defeated De Palma except on one race having also won a 100 mile match race against De Palma. De Palma has broken no world's records during 1912. -whereas Tetzlaff has broken over 200 world's records. Tetzlaff broke and still holds the world's road race record, and also broke practically all the -world's rec ords up to 250 miles at Indianapolis." Friends of De Palma retort that he was the handy winner of the biggest of all races, the Indianapolis, when his auto went bad and forced him to droi out of the race. They also de clare that he was making a wonderful race when he met with the accident at Milwaukee.

REBELS ' ALSO LOSE HEAVILY The Mexican rebels are again in possession of Palomas. The 10ft federal troops defending the port made a determined and daring fight Thursday agaisnt 350 rebels, and only surrendered after two distinct en- gagements, in whichhrdlu hrdl & cmt gagements, the last of which was fought from house tc house. The loss in dead and wounded on both sides was over 30. By employing dynamite bombs, the rebels early in the day entered the town, and fighting con tinued for two hours. A cessation of firing led to the belief at Columbus, N. M., 10, miles to the north, that the town had fallen. But about noon the battle resumed, the federals still holding a position in their barracks and urged to make & firm stand by their commander, CoL Francisco Corella, who, though suf fering a painful wound in the leg, re mained on the firing line. Brisk fight ing continued until nearly three oclock, when the government troops were trheatened again by hand grenades and compelled to surrender. Aside from the federal lieutenant who early in the morning fled to the American side, all of the government troops not killed or wounded were taken prison ers, with their rifles, supplies and am munition. There was no artillery in the town. The Losses Heavy. Official reports to Gen. E. Z Steever at Fort Bliss give the federal losses as seven killed and eight or 10 wounded, while the rebel loss is indefinitely giv en as 14 killed and wounded. As soon as hostilities had ended, Maj. McDon ald, in charge of the 13th U. S. cavalry border patrol at Columbus, sent word to Palomas that all younded, either rebel or federal, would be cared for on the American side. A party of both rebels and federal injured came to the line late in the afternoon, but declined to cross. Maj. McDonald's report did not say if the men were treated at the boundary. New CeatHtlOBS Arise. Rebel success in taking Palomas not only scores an important victory for the revolution, but creates a peculiar condition which has iot existed since Madero's insurrectos captured Juarez. With the revolutionary forces under Gen. Inez Salazar now in command op posite Columbus, only 73 miles to the east federals under Gen. Trucy Aubert still retains Juarez, opposite El Paso. While the Madero rebels were permit ted to cross munitions while holding the port of Juarez last year, it is con sidered improbable, in view of the re cent attitude of the war department that the same will result in the nresent instance at Palomas. May Be Smuggling Bases. The rebels captured Palomas earlier in their revolt and held it for several weeks, relinquishing it without a tlgnt a short time Deiore tney leu juarei without a fight Their return and re capture of the place is considered by some as an indication that they mean to try further ammunition smuggling operations: by others that they wish to get near the border again in an effort to deliberately bring about complica tions with the United State-. Not RegHlar Array Troops. The federals who defended Palomas were volunteers of the ex-Insurrecto type, and not federal regulars, accord ing to Gen. Trucy Aubert at Juarez. The Juarez commander has received no official report of the taking of the town, but is convinced of the report He wired the report yesterday after noon at Gen. Tellez at the city of Chihuahua and president Madero at Mexico City. One hundred federals booked to depart from Juarez last evening for Guzman on a scouting ex pedition were recalled and did not make the journey over the North West ern railway.
