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.

LAW CALLED INADEQUATE
California Attorney-General Would
Amend Anti-Trust Statute.
SACRAMENTO. "Dec: 12. Attorney-
General Webb, in his biennial report
made public today .declares the anti
trust law of California Is Inadequate,
Involved and of doubtful legality. He
asserts that the word "reasonably" In
the amendments to the act has virtual
ly killed Its effect and recommends
numerous changes.
The Attorney-General also recom
mends changes in the general election
laws and calls attention to an em
barrassing possibility that candidates
of the Republican and Progressive
parties might not be able to get on
the ballot In 19H. Tne law as it now
stands provides, he says, that candi
dates may get on the ballot by peti
tion If they secure 3 per cent oi tne
total vote cast at the last general elec
tion for a candidate of the "party
only."
. 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.

It Is alleged that verbal agreements

contract which empowers the manufac

Jobber sells to retail hardware deal

fair way. The Roosevelt men conse

the results in California are at last
definitely known. There is a spilt
electoral ticket, the Democrats getting
two of the electors. The electoral
candidates who stood highest were
Wallace. (Prog.), with 283.610. and
Griffin (Dem.). with 283.436. The high
est progressive vote Is thus 174 over
the highest Democratic vote.

the clubs of the South to have her
chosen as the bearer of the electoral
vote to Washington. .

GOVERNMENT CASE WEAK
Only Real Evidence Against Trio Ac
cused of Threatening to Kill New '
Jersey Governor Is Similar
ity in Handwriting.
NEWARK, N. J., Dec. 12. President
elect Wilson1 may face in court here
next Tuesday the three men accused of
threatening his life.
A subpena was issued by United
State Commissioner Stockton today
for the President-elect's appearance,
and to make this possible, he postponed
the examination of the alleged black
mailers from Monday to Tuesday, by
which time it Is expected the Wilson
family will have reached New York
from Bermuda.
Governor's Secretary Snbpenaed.
The letters which Warren Dunn, Ja
cob Dunn and Seeley Davenport, who
were arrested Tuesday night, are al
leged to have addressed to Governor
Wilson at Trenton, were opened by Jo
seph Tumulty, the Governor's secre
tary. Mr. Tumulty also was subpenaed
today. In case his testimony as to the
receipt of the letters Is accepted as
sufficient proof. Governor Wilson may
not be required to testify.
The Issuance of the subpenas was de
scribed by Commissioner Stockton as a
mere formality, but the Commissioner
hoped the President-elect would appear,
since he was the proposed victim of
the plot.
Threat In Demand of 95000.
The threats In the letters were in de
mand of $5000 or life, and one of them
reminded Governor Wilson of the fate
of McKinley and of the attempt to kill
Colonel Roosevelt. '
The specific charges on which the
three men are held is misuse of the
mails. Jacob Dunn Is the alleged au
thor of the letters. All the. men have
been known in the Morris County re
gion for years.
Reports of their "extreme lawless
ness" are denled by the neighbors, who
say they were of "an apparently Harm
less sort."
Federal authorities Intimated today
that they had doubts of being able to
hold the trio. The main evidence is a
similarity between the handwriting In
the letters and that of Jacob Dunn.

Wants to Shoot President-'Elect.
NEW YORK, Dec 12. Hermain
Steinberg, a 17-year-old boy, who is

when a detective questioned him.
"This Is not a fit country to live In,"

go back to Russia, so I would rather
go to jail, but I would like to shoot
Wilson and my boss and all the judges
first."
The detective searched him and took
the revolver away, arresting him on a
charge of carrying a dangerous wea
pon. In court a frultdealer who formerly
