INDIANAPOLIS, Dec 28. The United

cisive swiftness today took into its
possession J8 union labor officials, con
victed of conspiracy, of promoting ex
plosions on non-union work throughout
the land, of aiding in the destruction
which brought loss of life in Los An
geles, and of carrying on a "reign of
terror" declared to be unparalleled in
the history of the country.
Almost the entire executive staff of
the International Association of Bridge
& Structural Iron Workers was con

now remain out of Jail.
Iron Worker' President Heads . List.
At the head of the list of those con
victed stands Frank Moran, the presi
dent. It was of this union, with 12.000
members, that John J. McNamara was
secretary-treasurer while he conducted
the dynamitings out of which the pres
ent convictions grew.
Today's convictions, coming on a
scale unprecedented in a Federal Court,
were an aftermath of the killing of 21
persons in the blowing up of the Los
Angeles Times building on October 1.
1910. McNamara and his brother. James
B., the Times dynamiters, are convicts
in California, and his fellow officials,
former associates of McNamara, are
Federal prisoners here, awaiting 'sen
tence. Treltmoe Is Leader Coat.
. Two of . those convicted were not
affiliated with the Iron Workers'
Union, but they were found guilty of
Joining with the Iron Workers' offi
cials in promoting the conspiracy. One
of these is Olaf A. Tveltmoe. of San
Francisco, a recognized labor leader on
the Facific Coast, the testimony against
whom was that he aided in causing
explosions in Los Angeles, wrote let
ters about them and referred to them
as "Christmas presents" after the fatal
explosion in Los Angeles, and that he
aided in concealing evidence wanted In
California. He is secretary of the
California Building Trades Council.
Hiram It. Kline, of Muncie, Ind., the
other member of another union con
victed, was formerly an organizer for
the United Brotherhood of Carpenters
and Joiners in Detroit.

B. McNamara for two weeks in Salt

Many of those convicted were
charged with knowing only of local

by adoption a son of New Jersey, pro
claimed today the hope that his Ad
ministration might mean the final ob

divided the North and the South.
"I suggest an added significance to

presenting the greetings of New Jer

the South who brings the greetings of

Standing on the porch of Mary Bald

he was baptized, the President-elect

far and wide on the occasion of his re
turn to his native town on his 56th
birthday anniversary.

While Mr Wilson spoke with feeling
of his hopes or-a spirit of reunion that
would recognize "neither region nor
section, nor North nor South," he
talked significantly of his future course
in politics, with particular reference to
the conduct of business.
The Presidency, the Governor said, he
regarded "as an office in which a man
must put on his war paint," but he
added that his Visage was such that he

he objected to brains that established

Into which no competition could en

only a few minutes, but his voice came

Washington Scrutinizes Career and

WASHINGTON. Dec. 28. The arrival
at New York tomorrow of Ciprlano
Castro, former President of Venezuela,
on the French steamer La Touraine, is
awaited with keen interest by officials
of the Departments of State and Com
merce and Labor, who ar9 searching the
spectacular career of the once powerful
figure of South America for evidence
to tum him away from the gates of
the United States as an undesirable
Immigrant. V. :
The State Department far nas
failed to find that Castro has been con
victed of any crime Involving moral
turpitude which would Justify his de
portation. Reports to the department
from Caracas say that the deposed
President is under indictment on the
charge of having Instigated a plot to
assassinate President Gomez, of Vene
zuela, his successor in office. He never
has been tried, however, and the immij
gration laws provide that he must be
convicted of or admit such a crime to
warrant his expulsion.
All State Department reports in this
connection are being laid before Secre
tary Nagel, who personally will de
termine whe'ther Castro can be denied
admission.
CHOIR MAROONED IN "PEN"

TACOMA, Wash., Dec. 28. (Special.)
Battered about In a Government
launch by a fierce wind and high waves
until several members were seasick
and most of them badly frightened, the
cholr-of Trinity Episcopal Church, num-H
berlng about 15, was marooned on Mc
Neils Island last night and compelled
to spend the night in the Federal peni
tentiary. It was a terrific wind and
sleet storm that struck the narrows.
To make matters worse, the telephone
wires to Tacoma were put out of com
mission and many families in the city
were greatly alarmed by the unex
plained absence of the singers.
Mrs. Frederic W. Keator, wife of the
bishop of this diocese, was among the
women made very ill by the perilous
experience, though net suffering as
severely as Mrs. Harry Ferneyhough,
soprano soloist. The latter was ill all
night arid remained - so-toda;v -
Mr3. George C. Hastings, 2la ortn

well. "

A severe southwest gale.- accom

and squalls of hall and sleet, struck
this section about midnight and con
tinued for several hours. The wind
at North Head attained a 60-mlle
rate and the wind gauge as well as
some of the water gauges used at the
weather bureau station were torn
from their fastenings and hurled Into
the sea.
f ABERDEEN, Wash... Dec. 28. (Spe
cial.) Heroic work by the Westport
llfesaving-crew was all that saved the
officers and men, 30 in all. of the Brit
ish four-masted bark Torrisdale, which
went ashore a half mile south of the
jetty near the entrance to Grays Har
bor early today.
It was the fate of the vessel's crew
to realize that they were drifting to a
most certain aeath for several hours
before the Torrisdale finally struck.
Seven hours' work in a lifeboat in one
of the worst '-seas ever known along
tb- coast was the form of Providence
that" saved Captain Collins and his men.
Th Torrisdale lies a total wreck on
her beam ends and wlth .warves dashing
over her; not more than 800 yards from
high water line. Her back is broken,
and her crew aver that she was leaking
badly when she finally laid over.
Strike Follows Crash.
Th Torrisdale struck at 4:15 o'clock,
not more than 20 minutes after she had
crashed into the end of the south Jetty.
Shift in ballast three days ago had
rendered the bark unmanageable, ana
she fought against a certain fate.
Accordine- to the story gleaned
meagerly from various men of her crew,
it was Wednesday night when high
n-inrix nnri heavv soas shifted the Tor-
rlsdale's ballast. So heavy was the sea
at the time that all work to trim the
vessel was fruitless, and, totally unre
sponsive to her rudder, tie DarK
ar-nriHeH helnlesslv before the wind.
On Thursday an attempt was made
to enter Grays Harbor. The bar was
rough, and in her crippled condition
rintain Collins thought the venture un-
safe. Instead, he attempted to stand
out to sea beyond tne aanger zone.
-nrnri were airalnst him and he was
gradually beaten back, untinast night
the Torrisdale was but a few miles
from the coast.
Gale Worst In Years.
The e-ale. one of the worst of several
years here, sprang up before 10 o cjock.
Rv 11 o'clock the wind velocity was
not less than 60 miles, says Captain
Collins. He realized that ne couia not
hold his bark's head to the sea and that
he must pile up on the coast. At that
he took a long chance' and attempted
to stee.r for the Grays Harbor entrance
by the Westport light. He missed it
