GOVERNMENT'S CASE ENDS
Defense 'to Have Innings Within Day

Have Contributed to
Jplosion Fund.
TirPIAy.VPOLJS. Xov. 28. The Gov
ernment has nearly completed Its pre
sentation of testimony at the dynamite
rrmpiracv trial.
District Attorney Miller announced
today the Government would end Its
rase tomorrow or Saturday. Then the
defense will hesrin Its ease in denial
of the charges that the 45 men on trial
aided in the McXamara dynamite plots
by Illegally transporting; explosives on
passenger trains.
Mr. Miller served notice that tomor
row he. would insist on a prompt en
forcement of the court's ruling that the
bonds of 14 of the defendants are in
valid because the bondsmen are indem
nified. Attorneys for the defendants
said they had been endeavoring to pro
cure new bonds and if the court insisted
on immediately producing new bonds
aggregating more than $100,000 the men
trill have to be confined in Jail between
sessions of the court.
Mr. Miller said further question
would be raised as to the bonds of
Frank M. Ryan and John T. Butler,
president and vice-president, respec
tively, of the Iron Workers" Union.

Telling of an explosion at North1
Randall. O.. on March 25. 1911. when
$.".0,000 damage was done to an ore con
verter by nitroglycerin, Edward Cole
testified today that he heard the noise
in his store a mile and a hall away
and with a lantern and a revolver ran
down the road.
On the way, he said he met a man
running away from the explosion.
Asked if the man was In the court
room. Cole pointed at George (Nipper)
Anderson, of Cleveland, saying: "He's
the man."
Seven persons were named by Rob
ert G. M. Ross as having known of a
plot to blow up buildings in construc
tion in Detroit in 1910. Ross, now em
ployed as a mechanic by the Govern
ment in Hawaii, testified that Hiram
Cline, of the Carpenters' Union, had
confided to him that $100 had been paid
to Charles Wach'tmeister, of the Iron
workers' Union, "as the carpenters'
share of the expenses of the explo
' sions."
Talker Blocks Plan. -
The witness said the explosions did
not occur, -"because Wachtmelster
talked too much."
Later.- he said. Frank J. Murphy.
Clarence E. Bard, William K. Benson
and Spurgeon P. Meadows, all in
dicted union officials, were present
when the money paid to Wachtmeister
was discussed.
When objection was made to the
mention of L. A. Noel, financial secre
tary of an Iron Wockers' Union, the
court allowed the testimony to be of
fered on the representation by the Dis
trict Attorney that it had been shown
that "Noel was a co-consplrator."
Ross said he had been called to a
meeting of union officials and accused
by them of being employed as a spy by
non-union builders and that "the
brothers wanted to take radical action."
Ross declared he denied the charges,
but warned them that the proposed ex
plosions "would make a big noise."
LIQUOR ISSUE IN NEWPORT
Legality -or Kleetlon Questioned and
Fight for Council Is Waged.
NEWPORT. Or., Nov. 28. (Special.)
Newport is having one of -the live
liest city election fights in its history.
The Issue is "wet" or "dry." Tuesday
nlgM a large meeting was held In the
Presbyterian Church basement, at
which an anti-saloon party was organ,
iaed. with nearly 200 voters pledged to
support a ticket of strictly dry nomi
nees. The women are taking an ac
tive part in the campaign and almost
every woman in the city entitled, to
vote is registered. With so many
votes already pledged, the drys feel
confident of success next Monday.
Some question has been raised as to
the legality of the proceedings in hav
ing the liquor question submitted at
the city election, and the .anti-saloon
party is accordingly exerting itself to
make sure of having enough dry mem
bers in the Council to be able to con
trol the situation in the event f ad
verse litigation, as It Is certain that the
liquor men will resort to the courts if
the drys win.
DIVORCED WIFE-DEPORTED
Austrian Woman, Wed in Chehalis,
Declared Undesirable.
CHEHALIS. Wash.. Nov. 28. (Spe
cial.) Yesterday United States Immi
gration Inspector C E. Keagg, or Ta-
oma. arrived in Chehalis and took back
with him Victoria Schroeder. who will
be deported to her native country
Austria on the charge of being an un
desirable citizen.
This incident recalls the mar
riaKe in which the woman figured two
. y-ars ago in Chehalis. Her former hus
band, who now lives at Napavine on a
farm, sent money for her transporta
tion from Astoria to this country. They
were married here by Rev. W. F. Hoil.
Some three weeks after the ceremony
they returned to the auditor's of He and
wanted to give back the marriage li
cense for a divorce. Naturally this was
refused them, whereupon she made con
siderable fuss over the matter. Later
she secured a divorce by default. Her
maiden name was Knecharek.

is 14 degrees lower than the coldest
Canadian point reporting tonight.
The suffering in the South is intensi
fied by the fact that residents are not
prepared to combat it. Their dwellings
are set on stilts and the chill winds
have full sweep. The public generally
is not clothed to withstand the. present
cold weather and the means for artifi
cially warming residences are woefully
Inadequate. "
Perhaps the worst feature, however,
is the fact that comparatively warm

he c-o into the Cabinet. The Democrats
have no Senators to spare now. Gover
nor West, also, is not likely to De ap
pointed, for his views on conservation
are not in all respects in accord with
the views of other influential Western
Democrats." The fight, as far as Ore
gon Is concerned, lies between Joseph
N. Teal, of Portland, and National Com
mitteeman King.
There is prospect of strife growing
up between these two which may resull
in the defeat of both. For Kilg is op.
posed to Teal and says In effect that
if he (King) cannot be" appointed Sec
retary of the Interior he intends to
use his influence as National Com
mitteeman to prevent the appointment
of Teal. It i) jappens that Teal has
the indorsement of most of the leading
Democrats of Oregon, as well as the
backing of many influential Republi
cans; he has the social standing to
equip him for service in the Cabinet,
and he has devoted years of effort and
study to the practical problems of con
servation, and in that way has equipped
himself to handle an office like that
of Secretary of the Interior. Without
doubt Mr. Teal is as well fitted for this
appointment as any man whose nam
has been suggested, but he faces the
opposition of the Democratic National
committeeman from his state, and may
therefore lose.
Burke Is AVell-Rrgarded.
Those who have been in touch with
leading Democrats in Congress incline
to the opinion that Governor Burke, of
North Dakota, is to be kept in mind
until a Secretary of the Interior is se
lected. Governor Burke, it will be re
called, was considered for a time for
the Vice-Presidential nomination at
Baltimore, and is well-regarded by the
National Democratic leaders. Governor
Norris, of Montana, is also a capable
roan who would satisfy the demands of
the West if named as Secretary of the
Interior, but Governor Norris has de
cided views on the question of con
servation, and has expressed his views
publicly on many oqcaslons. There is
likelihood that if his name is consid
ered by the. President-elect certain
Eastern theorists will get ouf their
knives and undertake to prevent his
appointment.
Idaho, like Montana, is a small state,
when it comes to Influence in a Presi
dential election, ut that is not just
ground for assuming that Governor
Hawley of that state may not be chosen
to sit in the new Cabinet. Governor
Hawley goes out of office the first of
the year and his friends are desirous
of seeing him succeed Secretary Fisher.
The "Governor, however, was not an
original Wilson man. That will operate
against his chances. Another Governor
who probably will not be seriously con
sidered is Joseph M. Carey, of Wyo-ming-.--
Cares', until the year of his
election as Governor, was a Republican,
and two years ago was made Governor
of Wyoming by running on two tickets.
He is only half Democrat, and at that a
Democrat for office only. Though he
was author of the famous Carey irriga
tion act, he stands no chance of ap
pointment as Secretary of the Interior.

the constant telegraphic Interchanges
of views.
Great secrecy is preserved regarding
the conference at Baghtche, and it ie
not known whether the plenipotenti
aries are discussing he terms of an
armistice or basis for the conclusion
of peace.
It is reported from Rome that a pro
visional Albanian Goveraaaat hasbeen
constituted at Valona '(Avalona) by 80
Albanian delegates. -
FOUR OF SIX POWERS AGREE
Grey's Plan Would Prevent Division
Into Hostile Groups., .
LONDON. Nov. 28. Sir Edward Grey's
proposal that the ambassadors of the
six srreat Dowers. Great Britain, France,
Germany. Russia. Austria-Hungary and
Italy, assemble in one of the capitals
with the view of emphasizing the points
arising out of the Balkan war on whtcn
the jiatlons are already In agreement
is understood to have the support of
Germany, France and Russia.
The idea is intended to avert the dis
position to drift into an alignment of
the two groups of powers forming tne
triple alliance and the triple entente in
opposite camps over isolated questions
such as caused the tension that existed
early this week.
It is expected that without attempt
ing to reach a definite settlement ot all
the problems that will come upifor ar
rangement at the end of the war, the
ambassadors will be able to register an
agreement in principle in such matters
as the future of Albania, the disposition
of the islands in 'the Aegean Sea and
the opening or closing of the Dardan
elles.
The Dowers apparently are ready to
recognize Albanian independence and
to pledge themselves not to seek terri'
torlal acquisitions in the Aegean Sea.
Some revision of the standing of the
Dardanelles seems bound to follow the
changes of the map arising from the
war and there Is s. disposition to De-
lieve that they will be bpenedon a
basis of equality for all nations.
Problems like the Austro-Servian dif
ficulty will be left for settlement after
peace has been concluded.
The main object of the proposed con
ference is to bring the powers into
closer contact and to have in existence
an authoritative body which will be In
a position to eliminate causes of fric
tion whenever they arise.
AUSTRIA FURTHER PREPARED
Parliament Aerees to Premier's
Plans! for Mobilization.
VIENNA, Nov. 28. Much excitement
has been occasioned by the action of
the Government in arranging for the
mobilization "of the Austrian army,
which proves the Minister's determina
tion to be prepared for any develop
ment In the Balkans crisis.
The parliamentary lawyers decided
tonight to allow the Premier's three
bills dealing with matters connected
with the mobilizatoin to go to commit
tee without the customary first read
ing. According to the Neue Freie Presse,
the Premier, in announcing the bills to
the procedure committee, told the par
liamentary leadersthere was no change
In . the international , situation. The
Neue Freie Presse regards this as an
admission that the situation is critical.
Another incident commented on as
being of equal importance to the recent
visit to Berlin of General Schemua,
chief of staff, is the visit of Field Mar
shal Baron von Hpethendorf, inspector
general of the Austrian army, to Bu
charest, where he arrived yesterday as
the guest of King Charles. He bears
an autograph letter from the Austrian
Emperor and will confer with the
Roumanian chief of staff.
The municipal council made a dem
onstration tonight of great loyalty,
amid rousing cheers for the Emperor,
and adopted a manifesto declaring that
the maintenance of peace is worth
great sacrifices, but the economic pros
perity of nations and the full 'blessings
of industry are only vouchsafed to
states which maintain peace , not by
dishonorable weakness, but forcefully
supported by the consciousness of a
Just cause."
After the meetings thousands of per
sons formed in procession and singing
the national and other patriotic hymns
marched to the Dj? utschmeister monu
ment, erected in 1906 and on the 20tth
anniversary of the "Hausregiment," in
honor of their power. The burgomaster
delivered a patriotic address.
Germany Allays Alarm.
KOENIGSBERG, Germany, Nov. 28.
Telegraphic instructions . to make ef
forts to allay the alarm prevailing in
the Province of East-Prussia were re
ceived today by the Provincial Presi
dent from the Imperial Chancellor, Dr.
von Bethmann-Hollweg.
In his dispatch the Chancellor de
clares the alarming reports about war
preparations on the German and Rus
sian sides of the frontier are wholly
groundless,. No special military meas
ures, he said, have been taken on the

Archbishop Keano Declares That in
Spite of Booming of Guns on
Bosphorus, Peace Idea Is
Gbining a Foothold.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 28. Under the
flags of the 21 republics of the West
ern Hemisphere Thanksgiving day
mass was celebrated in St. Patricks
Roman Catholic Church here today.
President Taft, Cabinet officers.
Chief Justice White of the Supreme
Court and other high officials repre
sented the United States, while the dip
lomats of the other American Repub
lies were present in a body.
Peace was the central theme ot tne
service. The President was not accom
pan led, as is usual even when he at
tends religious meetings, oy nis mili
tary aid. but was met at the door and
escorted to. his seat at the front of
the church and attended while there
bv a whlte-laced messenger of peace,
Rev. Smythz, an assistant at St. -ai-
rlck 8.
Taft's Peace Efforts Landed.
Archbishop Keane. of Dubuque, who
preached the sermon, paid high praise
by intimation to the efforts President
Taft has put forth to farther the
cause of international peace. He ae
clared the peace idea was growing, and
added that he said this deliberately in
spite of the booming of cannon along
the Bosphorus.
Cardinal Gibbons occupied a scarlet
throne on the right of the altar and tne
ceremony took on almost a pontifical
grandeur, the Cardinal being accom
panied by Very Rev. James A. Burns
and Rev. John T. Whelan, as chaplains,
while his train was carried by pages
dressed in rich red velvet.
The sanctuary was lighted by hun
dreds of candles and the music was of
unusual quality, a feature being the
Pan-American march, which was played
as a recessional by the organ and or
chestra. It Included portions of the
national airs, of the various repub
lies. The celebrant of the mass was
Rev. John J. Murray: Rev. Charles W.
W. Curler was sub-deacon and Rever
ends Thomas E. McGuigan, George M,
McNamara and William J. Carroll were
masters of ceremonies.
Officials Guests at Lincbeon.
After the service Mg?. Russell, rec
tor of St. Patrick's, gave an informal
luncheon in the rectory adjoinihg, to
which were invited several Cabinet of
ficers, the Latin-American diplomats
and a number of prominent Government
officials and church dignitaries.
The President and Mrs. Taft left the
church Immediately after the sermon
to attend a Thanksgiving service at
the President's own church. All Souls'
Unitarian.
The principal event of the President's
afternoon was the wedding of Miss
Alice Gates Boutell, daughter of Henry
S. Boutell, American Minister to Switz
erland, and John W. B. Ladd, of Boston.
The big White House celebration of
the day came when the 32-pound Rhode
Island turkey, "Aunt" Delia Torrey's
monster mince pie and all the other
good things stored away in the Presi
dent's kitchen were served.
Mrs. Taft and Charles Taft were in
Washington with the President. Miss
Helen Taft has not returned Irom, her
trip to Panama.

SENTENCE IS LIGHTENED
MURDERER WHO SENDS GIFTS
TO JRIPPLES TO BE FREED.
Montana Prisoner's Life Term Is
Commuted to 15 Tears in
Recognition of Charities.
HELENA, Mont., Nov. 28. Albert J.
Beckman, serving a life ' sentence for
the murder of his sweetheart, Helen
Kelley, in Butte in 1903, today received
a commutation of sentence to 15 years
from Acting Governor Leighton.
Beckman's case has aroused interest
all over the country. Since his con
finement in the Penitentiary he has
sent money regularly to charitable or
ganizations and worthy sufferers
throughout the United States. He
showed special interest in crippled chil
dren and searched the papers for news
of those who needed assistance.
-For several years no one but the
warden of the Penitentiary knew from
whom the gifts came. Beckman never
has made an application for pardon
or commutation of sentence. He is
working in a convict road camp in Flat-
bead County, and it Is possible the
news of the commutation may not
reach him until tomorrow.
