DECEMBER 13, 1912. If SOU MAY FACE ALLEGED PLOTTERS REGENT OF BAVARIA, WHO DIES FROM AILMENT COMPLI- CATED BY HIS GREAT AGE. Exceptional Offering in Our Year-End THK mifl; OREGOMAJV. FRIDAY. " ; : 1 I inw a I I II COURT CENSURES PRESIDENT rfe 1 Ryan Speaks of "Violent At tacks" Over Objections of Federal Prosecutor. "TRIMMING" IS DESCRIBED Witness In Dynamite Cases Says He AVrote for Money to Pay Fines and Fees or TTnion Men W"ho "Defended Themselves." JXDIAXAPOLIC, Dec. 12. For' say ing that virulent attacks" were made on him by contractors who employed nonunion workers. Frank M. Ryan, president of the Ironworkers' Interna tional Union, was censured by the court at life "dynamite conspiracy" trial to day as giving "Irresponsive" answers. Ryan was asked what he meant by comments be made on an invitation he received to visit William T. Jerome; then District Attorney of New York. Ryan's comments were contained in a lettT written in January, 1906. to John J. McXamara, secretary of the union. At that time, according to the Govern, ment, Ryan was In New York directing the "dynamiting" campaign" in the ironworkers' general strike against "open shop" contractors. Jerome's Invitation Read. Ryan identified a copy of a letter he received from Jerome, saying: "I shall be glad to see you alone or with your attorney. If you prefer." In his letter to McKamara he said: "Another surprise. I Inclose a copy of Jerome's letter with a suggestion that if I am prevented in any way from conducting the affairs of the associa tion, you should advise the first Vice President to take charge." "What did you mean when you said If I am prevented from conducting the affairs of the association-?1 " asked Dis trict Attorney Miller. "I meant just what it says." replied Ryan, who, although the District At torney objected, kept on talking. "There hod been virulent attacks pub lished in New York and emanating from the National Erectors' Association nd a man named Donnelly had come from Albany to circulate a petition to have me impeached as president. I did not know what there was to it. until I investigated Donnelly's authority, and I wanted to be prepared for any emer gency. That is all there is to it, except that I saw Jerome." Answer Declared "Irresponsive." Objection was then made to Ryan's remarks. Judge Anderson, turning toward the witness, said: "All this talk is Irresponsive. This is the case of the United States Gov ernment asainst the defendants, and not the Erectors' Association. The Government is behind this prosecution." Senator Kern, for the defense, then asked Ryan: "Were you apprehensive that you had done anything contrary to law that might endanger you?" "I was not," replied Ryan. Michael J. Hannon, of Scranton, Pa., testified tiiat "trimming" nonunion workers meant "beating them up." Hannon said that in 1910 he wrote let ters to McXamara asking that men be sent to Fcranton to help unionize Jobs there. He said nonunion men at work there were assaulting union men who were out of work, and he had asked McXamara to "send money on the ouiet" to pay attorneys' fees and pos sibly fines when the union men defend ed themselves. Plen Will Xot Be Changed. "Why was it you thought these open shop contractors had no right to do their work the way they wanted?" the witness was asked. "Because they employed men outside the union. We wanted to bring the nonunion men into the union." "How did you want to bring them in on a stretcher?? "Xo. in a kindly way." "You said that you were sorry for some of the letters you wrote. Do you wish to change your plea of not guilty?" "Xo." " BIG LUMBER MILL SOLD Port Blakeley Plant, Largest Mill In World, Changes Owners. SAX FRANCISCO, Dec 12. A peti tion to change the corporate name of the Port Blakeley Mill Company to the Blakeley Mill Corporation revealed yesterday that what is said to be the largest lumber mill in the world, has .changed owners. Who the purchasers are does not ap pear in the petition, which was filed in the Superior Court by D. E. Skinner, W. J. Hotchkiss, C. A. Xohrhardt, W. F. Creed and John W. Eddy, trustees and millionaire lumbermen of San Francis co, but the reason assigned is that the company is about to dispose of all It assets, appraised unofficially at about 000. 000. to a syndicate which wishes to retain the old name and the valuable goodwill that goes with It. It is necessary, however, for a cor poration of some sort to handle the details of the sale, hence the petition for a change of name. The Blakeley mill Is located at Port Blakeley, across Elliott Bay from Se-, ittle. and was originally owned by Cy rus Walker.

The Republican electors were ito gressive electors also and were on the ballot as Republican-Progressive, so they represented two parties, and not a party only.
