' IXDIAXAPOLIS. Ind., Oct i. Five
. days after the blowing up of the Ios
i Angeles Times building, when 21 per
sons were killed, a plot was considered
j , by the McNamaras to cause a similar
; explosion on the Atlantic uoast.
! Charles W. Miller, United States Dis-
i trict Attorney, who is conducting the
' prosecution of the accused "dynamite
plotters" before federal juage Anaer-
i son, so asserted in delivering the Gov-
' ernment's outline of the case before
! the Jury today. Mr. Miller said Ortie B.
I McManlgal had been selected to do the
' job and was sent East from Indian-
spoils to Massachusetts.
Oho Wasted la East.'
Mr. Miller's narrative of this par
ticular charge was as follows:
"McManlgal bad been down to High
Bridge, Ky., to gee about blowing up a
structure there. He arrived back in
Indianapolis on the morning of Octo
ber 2. That was the day after the Los
.Angeles Times was blown p. Mc
Manlgal first read about it in an In
dianapolis newspaper. He called John
i J. McNamara. on the telephone.
"Now, what I want is an echo of the
Times explosion in the East, so as to
make "em sit up," McNamara said to
! i him. "But I want you to change that
,; alias of J. W. McGraw." It then was
I i arranged for McManigal to go East and
I , cause the "echo ' of the Times disaster.
$11,000 Declared Appropriated,
i Mr. Miller said McManlgal traveled
about the East with explosives in a
, suitcase, finally blowing up a railroad
l bridge at Worcester, Mass., on October
10.
As showing, as he said, that the of
ficials and executive board members of
the Ironworkers' Union were aware of
i the explosions and were appropriating
money for the expense of carrying
; them on, Mr. Miller quoted from books
' which he said were taken from the
: union headquarters.
Those records, he declared, showed
- that $11,000 was appropriated at a
, meeting of the executive board held in
Indianapolis December 8, 1909. and was
. paid out at the rate of $1000 monthly to
John ii McNamara, with the specific
' understanding that McNamara was to
use it to defray the expenses of dyna
miting. Mr. Miller declared that Herbert S.
Hockin, said by Ortie McManlgal to
have been one of the "dynamite" crew,
": had given information against the
: other defendants.
"Hockin bas been double crossing
everybody," said Miller. "He not only
double-crossed McManlgal, but be even
I double-crossed the union. He has been
double-crossing these defendants.
i "I will not stop now to tell you Just
how he personally delivered evidence
here at the federal Duuaing, tms evi
dence tending to incriminate other de-
fendants. I will tell you all about It
later."
All the other 45 defendants looked
, toward Hockin, who sat in their midst,
bis bead burled in a newspaper. '
: Next to Frank M. Ryan, president of
i the Iron Workers' Union, Hockin has
been considered the most prominent of
the defendants.
Long before the Los Angeles Times
' building was blown up. Miller declared,
a quarrel between McManigal, Hockin
and James B. McNamara over the fixed
i price which was to be paid for dyna-
miting jobs, occurred, and McManlgal
threatened' to expose the others.
. Miller narrates the alleged quarrel
as follows:
"McManigal said: 1 have a notion
to quit this business and give It away.'
" 'If you do, your life won't be worth
much,' replied Hockin.
McMaalgal's Money Held Back.
"Hockin had been keeping back part
of McManigal's money. Tbey patched
up their differences, James B. McNa-
' m&ra "going to California and doing his
destructive work there.. Just as soon
as the Government investigation be
gan here. Hookin began to double-cross
the union by personally bringing evi
dence directly to the Federal building."
Hockin formerly lived in Detroit
McManlgal was working on a building
there in 1907 when, according to his
confession, be was first induced by
Hockin to go into the dynamiting
business. McManigal had worked in a
stone quarry, and It was because of
his familiarity with explosives that
Hockin sought Tilm, he said.
Seattle Union Men Sobpeaaed.

AMERICAN FORCES VICTORS
(Continued From First Page.)
retary Huntington Wilson served for
mal notice upon the Nlcaraguan gov
ernment of the policy of the United
States "to take measures for an ade
quate legation guard at Managua; to
keep open communications and to pro
tect American life and property."
The Nlcaraguan government had al-
rud declared its willingness and even
Its earnest desire that the United States
should act finding itself fully engaged
in fighting the rebels.
State Department officials are fully
prepared for any-adverse criticism of
the use of the American naval forces.
The answer probably will be given W
an elaborate memorandum to fea sylfe-
mitted to Congress by the State De
partment at the beginning .of the next
session. It will be tnus summarizea:
An examination of the Authorities ap
pears quite clearly to show that one
state may, without Just cause for of
fense to another state, thus interpose
in favor of its nationals, resident in
the other state, and there is not a
little authority for the proposition, for
such interposition by - the one state
as against the other is a matter of
right and Indeed duty.
Samoaa Case Is Cited.
In the list of authorities referred to
are .cases where the United States has,
alone and with others, landed forces in
times of revolution in foreign countries,
to protect American interests.
The citations begin with China in
1864 and continue down to the Ameri
can intervention in Honduras last year.
One case of particular strength, where
American blood was shed as in .Nica
ragua, occurred in Samoa, in 1899, when
American marines and bluejackets
fought side by side with the British
naval forces against the Samban rebels
under Chief Mataafa, with a loss of
four American and three British lives.
The State Department declares It
finds ample precedent for Admiral
Southerland's action in Nicaragua yesterday.

EX-OFFICIAL NOW WRECK
One Time Cbief Resident at Celebes
Jailed at Vancouver, B. C.
VANCOUVER, B. C, Oct 6. Weak
from the effects of drugs and feve'r,
with his mind wandering, Hendriok
Cecil Burke, who was once chief resi
dent of the Dutch government on the
Island of Celebes, Malay Archipelago,
lies in the Vancouver City Jail today
with a charge of vagrancy resting
against him.
Burke, who is more than 60 years old,

to himself in half forgotten Malay dia
lects, and apparently suffering from an
overdose of strychnine.
Burke was born of Dutch-Irish 'par
entage in the islands, and educated in
the best colleges of Holland. He acted
in various high and Influential posi
tions in the archipelago for many years,
finally being appointed chief resident
of Celebes.

You Pay Either Way
SOME people look at necessary expenditures entirely the wrong
way. They figure to save the few dollars that, if properly
spent, would be worth hundreds or thousands to them. One
man saves a carfare; and misses his train. Another saves the cost
of house paint; and ruins the house. Another saves the price of
good clothes; and goes around shabby. They all pay: sometimes
in cash, often in serious loss.
