BY POLICE AND MUST
FACE A TRIAL.

police authorities* are massing evi

in custody. The grand jury met yes

leaders in the nefarious enterprise.
The indicted are Mr. and Mrs. Moon

the famous McNamara case at Los
Angeles; Israel Weinberg, an agita
tor who drives a jitney in the city;
Warren Billings and Edward Nolan,

involve many persons. McAlpine,
the ex-convict and associate of Moon

the immediate punishment of the

work in running down the perpetra
tors.

CASES WITHIN PAST
24 HOURS.

of diseases and remedies have taken
up the matter of infantile paralysis
and will devote their energies in this
direction.
