When the trial or the 48 members of the International Association j ot- Bridge and Structural Ironworkers, charged with Illegally transporting. dynamite, waaliesumed liere today, Prosecutor John , D. Miller continued to outline the charges he ex pecta to prove against .the defendants. 4i is noi certain that Miller will con elude today. v Before , Miller, started speaking this tnorning Judge Anderson cautioned the jdry that Miller's statements were not to be considered as evidence by them but they were merely what the prose cution hoped to prove. The defense's statement, It .was announced, will be brief. Ovesn Cneekbook Important. , V ' That a "little green checkbook" will play an Important part In the trial Is evident ", from the frequent references made to It by Miller yesterday and to day. In the checkbook, he said, the ex ecutive board of the International Asso-. elation of Bridge and Structural Iron workers kept 'an account of money paid for various "dynamiting Jobs." , In this connection he told the Jury that the board met regularly and ap propriated money for the expenses that attended dynamltlngs for which officers and members of the organization are on trial. President, Ryan,- he charged, iffned the checks with the knowledge of the. board. -t Accounts of the union were juggled, iM liter asserted, to hide these alleged expenditures from anyone not of the Inside circle. - McManlgal double Crossed." Miller today, flatly charged that H. S. Jlockln, treasurer of the ironworkers' organization paid Ortle E. McManlgal 1125, for each dynamiting job. He 'charged,, that the union allowed. $233 for these Jobs but that Hookln pocketed the difference. Miller's arraignment of Hockin wa particularly severe. He aid that Hockin sought to save him self by furnishing Incriminating evi dence against his associates to federal authorities, "I want this man Hockin to take the tand now," Miller shouted. Miller ad vanced to the witness stand and stood With flushed face. "That man," said Miller, pointing to Hockin, "double trossed McManlgal and his own organisation,- I will tell you later how he Conveyed information to the federal authorities. I will show you how he double crossed everybody." Charges Hockin rocketed Blfterenea. Miller , declared that McManlgal re ceived .$100 with Sgt for expenses for I the Mount Vernon job. Then Hockin, he said, charged up the union with $235. Jim MeNamara, Miller said, told Mo ll Manlgal that he received $200 for pull ing on a jod in Pennsylvania. McMan lgal then asked Jim, Miller said, if the union had doubled the ante. Jim told him no, according to Miller, that $200 was the regular fee. McManlgal Is then said to have told MeNamara that lie never- got more than $100. Jim then told McManlgal, Miller said, that the books showed $236 was allowed for each case. Both men, Miller charged, then went to Indianapolis and told John Me Namara, the latter exposing Hockin and )ils associates. s :- Miller read letters purporting to have been written by John J. MeNamara, re ferring to 'balloon races," and "aero, tiaut stunts." The prosecutor charged these referred to dynamltlngs. Miller took up the dynamltlngs attributed to the union men one by one. He claimed Ithat 'Ortle McManlgal was a humane man and cited the Mount Vernon dy namttlng to .emphasize his point. There, he said, McManfgal Intended. to dyna mite a derrick, but that the watchman refused to leave. . V McManlgal then arranged, Miller said, to set off explosives elsewhere to at tract the watchman's attention and to prevent his injury. Then, he maln- , tained, McManlgal returned and dyna mited the derrick. Miller also declared that alarm clocks to set off explosives were first put In use at Mount Vernon.

Ltd. - - - 1 Established J780- CD 30L The struggle to place the Wood short commission plan charter on the -.ballot was made to involve a fundamental is sue of municipal government when the mandamus, proceedings to compel City Auditor-Barbur-t place U or the bal lot was argue before Judge Morrow In the circuit court this morning. . "Has the cotlncll arbitrary power to decline to place on-.tbe .ballot at the special election a measure proposed by initiative petition?" , This II the question which Judge Morrow is called upon to answer. City Attorney Grant pays that if he decides the council has no such power, unlimited Initiative measures may be placed on the ballot of every election, including 'proposed bond issues', and that as result every bond Issue hereafter voted upon, may bo vitiated, and the bonds rendered unsalable. Tfie argument was continued this afternoon. Large Petition Tiled. The Wood short charter wa filed by initiative petition, carrying 6000 names. It was asked by the promoters that the measure be placed on the -ballot at the special election. The council declined to do so. Acting under the McNary ordinance the council ordered a separate special election for every measure or dered on the ballot. In behalf of the Wood short charter, E. S. J. McAllister declared that the state law governing the Initiative re quires that any Initiative petition for the placing of a measure on the ballot when properly filed must be placed on the ballot. If the city council orders it on the ballot all well and good. But if the city council declines or Ignores the petition, then the city auditor must place the measure on the ballot. Attorney Grant Answers. City Attorney Grant, answering, de clared that the Btate constitution gives the city power to determine the mode and manner of Its administration of Ini tiative law, and that In this case the city, by adopting the McNary ordinance, has chosen to act contrary to the state statute. This phase of the situation makes the issue highly interesting, attorneys for both the plaintiff and the defense admitting that if Judge" Morrow says any Initiative petition filed with the city auditor must go on the ballot at special or general election then, bond is sues and constitutional amendments and ordinances galore may by Initiative pe tition be made to lengthen the ballot. Bartrar Appears. City Attorney Grant and Assistant City Attorney L. E. Latourette appeared this morning for the city. City Audi tor Barbur, who was mandamuaeed by the promoters of the Wood charter to place it on the ballot, was present, but was not placed on the stand. When mendamussed he answered that he had not the power under the city ordinance governing the submission of measures for the special election to place It on the ballot. E. S. J. McAllister and C. E. S. Wood appeared in behalf of the Wood charter. This charter confllcts seriously with the measure drafted by the official charter board and the coun cil did not desire to invite the confusion which placing It on the ballot would precipitate. BOOSTERS FOR DAVIS PLEDGE ACTIVE EFFORTS Support for George N. Davis as can didate for Judge of the circuit court to Bucceed C. U. Gantenbein was pledged at a meeting at Women of Woodcraft hall lawt night, when a good crowd turned out to hear the candi date and discuss plans for his cam paign. Mr. Davis made a short talk. In the course of which he declared In favor of the recall of judges, saying: ' "I do not Dtrieve aTJUdgo who 18 on tho square has anything to fear, from the recall. And If he is not on the square the sooner he is recalled the. better off the community will be. If I am .elected all men shall be equal in court, and I promise that It can never be truthfully said that on a political question I have my ear to the ground."

NEW EN N ORATOR 0 SPEAK IN PORTLAND Unable to furnish bonds of $1000 re quired of each of them, Jack Kisbey and William Rase, Involved In a plot to extort $7000 from Karl V, Lively In connection with the death of Miss Grace Dow in a night auto ride on July 11, are held In Jail today. A charge of vagrancy against them will be changed by Deputy District Attorney Fttsger aid to obtaining money under false pre tenses bef ode their preliminary hearing in the municipal court next Tuesday. That they had Intended to use Gov ernor West to herp them "shake down" Livtly Is Indicated by an anonymous letter to the governor, commending him for saying he would look Into the rea sons why no inquest rwas held over Muss Dow. A copy of this letter .was sent to the police by the governor, but as tho letter was unsigned little at tention was paid to it until Chief of Poiloe Sltver yesterday 'afternoon hap pened to think of It in connection with the other evidence against Kisbey and Rase. Would Eire Sleuths. s this letter was . written at the sifme time that Kisbey was 'sounding" new spaperraen as to whether they would go into the scheme with hlinf and more than a month after the governor had taken up tho matter with the coroner, It Is believed that Kisbey was the au thor. Governor West last night did not re member whether the original was type written or in hand writing, but prom ised to send It to Captain of Detectives Baty so that If It Is In handwriting it may be compared with the writing of Kisbey and Rase. Because the extortion scheme had not actually been put Into effect, a charge of extortion cannot be placed against the men. Mr. Fitzgerald, however, Is confident of obtaining a conviction for obtaining money under farse pretenses, Inasmuch as last Tuesday In his note to Lively asking for $150 Kisbey Jeclared he had a $350 a week theatrical Job In sight. When Mr. Lively lent him $75 it was based on the security offered by this job. ' To make Tun Inquary. "If necessary I am willing to go to the extent of hiring private detectives to run down the rumors that there was a second woman in the auto with us the night of the incident," eaid Mr. Lively today. "I repeat that I want, anrt urn eolnc to have, a thorough In vesticatlon. with tltft widest publicity, to clear ud the case onre and for all With the witnesses I have, I think It can be clearly proved to the satisrac tlon of everyone that all these rumors r absolutely false. I see now that Governor West was Imposed upon ta much as I was." Any investigation of this sort, it, was said today by the detectives who re vealed the extortion plot, would prob ably have to be done privately, as it is hardly a matter now ror ponce inquiry.
