Asheville, N. C. was selected as the 5 !,ne?"ns place for 1918. the date to be j decided later by the executive com- S mittee. J A resolution proposing that the asso- S ciation approve President Wilson's 5 fuJ18 made Public in an address by 1 the President at the Manhattan Club t Isew York, was offered by General j Henry D. Hamilton, of New York. Without debate the Tesolution, which I sked that "the plan of the President g of the United States for a continental army be indorsed by the National g Guard Association." was referred to the legislative committee. J Motion Snggt.ttd by Garrison. It is understood General Hamilton told friends, after offering his resolu jr t,on- tnt- a suggestion that he present euch a motion before 'the convention g had been made to him by Secretary of . War Garrison. Officers of the organ j ozatlon, as one explanation of why Gen Ji eral Hamilton's proposition was not w acted on favorably, was to the effect 7 that General Hamilton, although a 1 member of the association, was not a delegate to the convention. In recommending that the Hamil- r; on resolution be "laid on the table." t the legislative committee reported 1 "that the committee is of the opinion that the resolution presented is a mat- ter fully considered by the commit "lee in its report and that there is no necessity for taking further action." Conflict of Plana Feared. This ended the discussion and soon afterward the association adjourned. It is understood the National Guard Association is opposed to the conti nental army plan of President Wilson -and the War Department heads be cause it believed it would conflict rcwith . their organization. Some of the jj officers contend that if a larger re & serve force is to be provided in the 2 United States it should be done under 3 the guidance of the National Guard. g General Thomas J. Stewart, of Pitts- 5 burg. Pa., was re-elected president at 3 the association for the seventh term. Other officers elected follow: Gen- 6 oral Guy E. Logran, Des Moines, sec- retary; General Joseph A. Storch, Kul f lerton. Neb., treasurer. Among the S vice-presidents chosen were General 5 George A. White. Portland.

TfOVE3rBER -I PLOT TO DESTROY CITY IS CHARGED Dynamite Prosecution in Los Angeles Outlines Proof It Proposes to Offer. DEFENSE SCORES POINT Recital of Events After ' Times AVas Blown Up Stopped, but Tes timony May Be Admitted Later in Trial. LOS ANGELES, Nov. 11. Talcing of testimony was begun today after the defense had scored a legal point cutting short the opening statement of James W. Noel, special prosecutor at the trial of Matthew A. Schmidt, charged with the murder of Charles Hagerty, in con nection with the dynamiting of the Los Angeles Times building five years ago. Judge Willis ruled that Attorney Noe' could not continue the recital of events which took place after the Times was blown up. As an indication of what be intended to say. Attorney Noel told the court in the absence of the Jury, that the prose cution proposed to prove that after the Times explosion, J. B. McNamara, who is serving a life term in San Quentin Penitentiary, after pleading guilty to dynamiting the Times building, and Or tie E. McManigal. who turned state's evidence, and who will be a witness in the present case, plotted practically to destroy the city of Los Angeles. Plan to Born City Charged. He declared that evidence would be produced to show that McNamara and McManlgal planned to set 40 or 60 ex plosions in different "parts of this city the same night by means of clockwork devices. In connection with, these ex plosions, Mr. Noel said, there was to be used an arrangement devised by Mc Namara to cause fires to follow the explosions, which would almost entirely wipe out the city. Judge Willis said that if a 'conspir acy were proved testimony in support of these allegations might be admitted later in the trial. Attorney Noel said that the evidence would show that after the Times build ing .explosion Schmidt fled from this Coast and was a fugitive from Justice until he was arrested In New York City in February of this year under the name of Joe Hoffman. At this point he was interrupted by objections by -the defense. Death of Hagerty Proved. Marcus S. Bentley was the first wit ness called by the prosecution. He tes tified that he was mechanical superin tendent at the Times plant. He said he knew Hagerty and saw him alive for the last time the evening before the explosion. Five days after the ex plosion, he said, he identified Hagerty's body in the ruins. David . Douglas, a pressman, told the Jury he was joking with Hagerty in the pressroom at the time the ex plosion took place. He testified that he was knocked down by the explo sion, but was not seriously injured, and made his way out of the building with difficulty. He described the noise of the explosion as a "dull thud." He testified he did not see Hagerty after-, ward and did not know what became of him. TRADE REPORTS ORDERED Consular Agents Are to Gather Data to Assist American Commerce. WASHINGTON, Nov. 5. Instructions to American consular and commercial representatives in foreign countries, calling for exhaustive reports on indus trial organization and the relations be tween industry and government have been transmitted by the Bureau of For eign and Domestic Commerce.

Instructions were prepared separately tor each of the va rious countries. The information collected is expected to be of immense value to the trade commission in its task of working out a definite policy tor the United States, both as to business methods and as to the attitude of the Federal Government toward business organizations. Special instructions have been issued calling for reports on the so-called "cartel" system of business organization, as de veloped in Germany, under which great combinations of capital are fostered. The reports also will be available for use by the bureau and the Commis sion In their efforts to extend the for eign trade of the United States. The Commission already has held numerous hearings in this country on this sub ject. American manufacturers have urged that they should be allowed to form combinations for economy and ef ficiency in the export trade, but the question has been raised as to whether such combinations would not render the members liable to prosecution under the anti-trust laws. This subject prob ably will b taken up by the Commis sion In an early report to the Presi dent or to Congress.- SHIPPING FACING CRISIS Available Craft Only 60 Per Cent of Needs; Rates Fast Climbing. PHILADELPHIA. Nov. 7. Shippers through this and other ports are facing a grave situation in the increasing scarcity of vessels. Officials of the Earn Line placed the available ocean tonnage at only about 60 per cent of the requirements of the exporters of war supplies and other merchandise. Grain is the chief commodity being shipped through the port of Philadel phia, and freight rates, owing to the scarcity of available ships, have risen tremendously. Where freight rates formerly were 6 cents a bushel they have risen to 40 cents, and the end is not in sight What a tax this is on the foreign purchaser may be understood when it is consid ered that more than 6,000,000 bushels were shipped through this port alone last month. More than 1,500.000 gross tons of shipping already have been destroyed as a result of the war in Europe, and in addition the British government is commandeering for its naval and mili tary operations many ships that are thus withdrawn from ocean trade. The shipyards, busy as they are, cannot turn out ships fast enough to make up the deficiency. BOY SUES FOR TREASURE Action Brought Against Estate to Recover $ 6 1 0 Unearthed In Can. BLOOMINGTON. 111.. Nov. 5. George Chamberlain, a boy. while playing near an old barn in Streator, unearthed a tin can which contained $610 In gold and bills. The property was turned over to the estate of Mrs. Alice Riley, who was the owner of the property.
