Mc >1 animal's Itcfusal to (?'o to Panama
at Time Suggested and His Arrest
Along with McXamaras Soon
After Prolmhly Prevented Destruction
of ('anal Locks.
Pages from (lie careers of the Mc-J
Namuras and Ortle 10. McManigal, as i
leaders of "the flying squadron of j
dynamiters," with conversations in
which they were said to have plotted
to send MdManigal to Panama to
blow up the locks of the Panama Ca-J
nal, were read by District Attorney
Charles W. Millers before the jury at
the trial of the accused "dynamite
conspirators" at Indianapolis, Ind.,
Monday.
The incident in reference to Panama
Mr Millnr sniiL nerniired 1 list, be
fore the arrest of the Los Angeles
dynamiters, when they were becoming
desperate in their efforts to secure
explosives without betraying
their identities.
"John J., called James B. Mc.Nainara,
his brother, and McManigal to
the headquarters of the International
Association of Bridge and Structural
Iron Workers," said 'Mr. Miller,
"John J. said to McManigal, we can't
get any more dynamite around here
without stealing it. Now you go to
Panama and see what you can do
down there. The McClintic-Marshall
Construction Company has a lot of
dynamite stored down there. You
could easily get hold of it and blow
up the locks. That would make 'em
sit up and take notice and take their
minds off the Los Angeles affair.'
McManigal refused to go at that time.
Soon after they all were arrested.
The contractor mentioned was one
of those who had declared for the
"open shop" in the United State,
other developments of the day were:
Edward Clark, Cincinnati, former
president of the local Iron Workers,
changed his plea from "not. guilty"
to "guilty", and was locked up, pending
sentence.
Olaf Tveitmoe, of San Franscio,
now on trial, was accused in the Government's
statement to the jury as
having been the "protector" of the
dynamiters on the Pacific coast who
pointed out how the Los Angeles
Times building and the Llewellyn
Iron Works were to be blow up, who
wanted the Baker Iron Works and
the Times auxiliary plant blown up
and who promised to the dynamiters
that his (Tveitmoe's) friendship
with P. H. McCarthy, then mayor of
San Franscio, would insure protection
from the police.
Tveitmoe was then editor of a
trade paper and secretary of the
Building Trades Council, of California.
McCarthy recently was in Indianapolis.
Evens implicating the present
defendants, as charged by Mr.
Miller before the jury, were as follows:
W. Bert Brown, then business
agent of a local union at Kansas City,
Mo. James R. McNamara and "a citizen,"
in August 1910, conferred about
blowing up a $l,.r>00,000 bridge
constructed by non-union labor employees
across the Missouri River, at
Kansas City. Previously negotiations
were conducted by Rrown and
William J. McCain^.also a Kansas
City business agent, with the iron
workers' headquarters in Indianapolis.
James B. offered to employ the
"citizen" regularly, saying "there's
lots of money in it. We're going to
Los Angeles to blow up the whole
town to hell. We 'have unlimited
money back of us and if we ever get
into trouble we'll have the best lawyers
money can buy. The "citizen"
declined.
On August 22, McManigal placed
twelve quarts of nitro-glycerlne beneath
the under-structure of the
bridge. The explosions occoured
next day, after McManigal had placed
batteries on the bomb timers.
Meantime James B., arranged for
the Los Angeles Times explosion and
alter hiding for two weeks in Salt
Lake City, he returned East, being
met in Nebraska by Frank Eckhoff,
of Cincinnati, with a message from
John J. .lames B said: "I have been
keeping pretty low. If I could get
by for five years, like J. E. 'Munsey,
in Salt Lake, they'd forget about the
Los Angeles affair. James R. and
McManigal then went hunting in the
1 ~ ^ f ^ UUa
WUOIIH 111 VV IMCtlllHI II, III lllllt'.
The next month, at the Iron Workers'
Convention, in St. Louis, Tveitinoro
had a talk with J. J., during
which the blowing up of the Llewellyn
Iron Works, the Baker Iron
Works and the Times Auxiliary wore
suggested.
McManigal returned to Indianapolis
when John J. repeated Tveltmore's
remarks. John J. approved of McM
anikal doing these jobs because he
was unknown. He cautioned McM
anigal against using nitro-glycerine
and told him Tveitmore had assured
him that "we'll he protected".
After tne Llewellyn explosion on
December 25, J. J. wrote to Eugene
A. Clancy, San Francisco, instructing
him to notify Tveitmore that the order
had been carried out. Tveitmore
acknowledged receipts of the information
in a letter to J. J.
Charges against Clarence E. Dowd,
Rochester, N. Y.; Charles Washmoister,
Detroit; Frank J. Murphy,
Detroit; William K. Benson, now of
East Golway, N. Y.; Spurgeon P.
Meadows, Indianapolis, and Iliram
Cllne, Muncie, Ind., involving unions
other than the Iron Workers were
outlined by the district attorney. He
said it would be shown ih&t they all
met in Detroit in 1911 "to have a
wholesale blowing up"; that J. J. McNamara
hesitated about the jobs,
i
"because there were too many in on
the deal."
Cline and Meadows were officials
of the International Protherhood of.
Carpenters and Joiners, and Dowd !
was a national organizer of the International
Association of Machinists.
Mr. Miller asserted that a detec-i
live got. into the "deal" and learned J
that dynamite to do the jobs with had
been brought into Detroit on a passenger
train.
A map of Detroit was prepared,
with five locations marked, where explosions
were to occur. McManigal i
was sent to do the job, and was giv-!
en a list. 'McManigal said "there are
only four on the list?whore's the
other place?" J. R. McNamara replied:
"We are to throw a false
bomb on the porch of the homo of a
member of the Detroit Merchants'
and Manufacturers' Association."
McNamara and McManigal were on
their way to do the jobs in April,
1911, when they were arrested.
Clark pleaded guilty to all the
charges?five counts of conspiracy
and fifty counts of being a principal
to the actual illegal Inter-State shipment
of dynamite and nitro-glycerine.
Clark was business agent and
president of local Union No. 4 4, of
the International Association of
Hridgo and Structural Workers,
from January, 1 908, to July, 1911.
His activities in promoting explosions.
Mr. Miller asserted, were carried
through by letters written by i
Frank M. Ryan, president of the1
union, and the iMcNamaras. An ivory
handled umbrella hearing the initials
"10. C." found in t-he wreckage of a
dynamited bridge at Dayton. Ohio,
Mr. Miller said, led to the disclosure
that. Clark actually had caused the

'Their Position at Detchiteh I-'aiis Hefore
Terrific Hoiiibardmoiit.
A cablegram from Podgoritza,
Montenegro, says the Montenegrins
have captured Detchiteh Mountain.
The Turkish commander and odicers
with many soldiers have surrendered.
For the last thirty hours the battle
between the Montenegrin forces, under
direct command of King Nicholas,
and Turkish troops strongly entrenched
in the hills, has been in
progress.
The fight began at eight o'clock on
Wednesday morning, the first shot
being fired by Prince Peter against
tbe Turkish position on Mount Planinitza.
Within a few hours the
Turks evacuated that district.
Strongly fortified positions were
occupied by the Turks, however, on
Detchiteh Mountain, which commands
the road to Scutari and reinforcements
were brought up, which
resulted in a general engagement,
which extended over a line several
miles long.
King Nicholas remained at his
headquarters at Podgoritza while the
Crown Prince directed operations at
the front. The Montenegrins resumed
the bombardment of Detchiteh at
dawn and a heavy cannonading was
kept up until eleven o'clock in the
morning, when the Turkish batteries
on the mountain were silenced.
Meanwhile a great battle was proceeding
near the Turkish town of
Tushi, about 15 miles to the south
op Podgoritza. In the afternoon the
Turkish commander in Detchiteh,
with his officers and a majority of his
troops surrendered. The Montenegrins
captured four guns.
The (Montenegrin standard was
hoisted over the captured position.
There were heavy losses on both
sides, but the Montenegrin camp gave
itself over to rejoicings on the first
victory in the war. A division of
Montenegrins commanded hy Gen.
Vukotuch crossed the frontier early
Thursday morning, near Berana.

Disclosures at Trial of Hugger Le<l to
Breaking of Engagements.
Witnesses at the trial of Ellwood
James, of Sterling, 111., charged by
Miss Alice Prescott with attempted
assault, proved that ho had made
love to practically every unmarried
woman in the town and had succeeded
in hugging and caressing 12 of
them. He was fined $25.
After the trial, Edward Hans and
William Matzinger, sweethearts of
two of the objects of James' attention.
organized a posse of other similarly
affected young men and drove
James out of the city. He led his pursuers
for several miles and managed
to escape. As a result of the disclosures
at the trial several engagements
have hcen canceled.

trian and Russian Representatives
in Mantenegrin Capital.
A cablegram from Paris, France,
aays a general conflagration is expected
in the Balkans by oilicial3
within the next 4S hours. MontenegroGs
declaration of war against Turkey
is regarded as the beginning. It.
is believed other unitB in the Balkan
coalition will follow suit as soon as
the mobilization of their armies is
complete. There is only a faint hope
[now that representation of the Pow->
ers will avert general hostilities.
Montenegro's move is considered
i ir Paris to be part of the pre-arranged
plan. It is asserted Greece was
| first selected by the Balkan confeder'
ation to force the issue, and inaugurate
the war. This could easily have
been done by Greece seating in the
! Greek Parliament the deputies from
Crete, which was certain to prove a
casue belli to Turkey. Greece, however,
declined to start the war.
Montenegro then was picked. She

Turkey over the boundary question
and Turkey's refusal to grant satisfaction
was seized upon as justification
for Montenegro's resort to arms.
It is not doubted that cooler heads
in Bulgaria have been against war |
from the start, but popular excite-j
ment is at such a high pitch that the j
country practically will be driven
to war to satisfy public opinion.
In the failure of intervention, every
eflort will ,l>e made by the Pow i
to prevent war from engulfing Europe.
It is realized that all depends
or the eventual attitude of Austria,
which, according to late advices, already
has mobilized four army corps
and stands ready to occupy the Sanjak
of Novipazar, should this coveted
strategic territory be menaced by the
Servians and Montenegrins.
Despite Russian sympathy for the
Balkans, whose political welfare Russia
has fostered, no complication exist
between Russia and Austria and
both these nations have assured the
other Powers of heir determination
not to be drawn into embroglio.
I Ofiicial circles in France greatly
regret the criticism of certain French !
newspapers that Great Britain's slowness
in agreeing to the phraseology of
til? note has embarrassed representa- tions
of the Powers. It is pointed r
out that such criticism is liable to
cause a false impression abroad and that
it has furnished ammunition for i
an attack by the German press on
Great Britain.

Russian representatives prevented
the note in the name of the Powers, warning
the Balkan States against r
war, at eleven o'clock in the morning,
but two and a half hours earlier the
Montenegrin Government had handed
his passports to the Ottoman charge. Thus
the (Montenegrin Cabinet was i
in a position to say that the representations
of the Powers came too
late.
Queer Tale About Blease. 1
A dispatch from Columbia to the
Spartanburg Journal says the Governor's
bodyguard in the recent countv-to-county
campaign, and publicity j
man for the Governor, but now permanent
secretary of the Bull Moose
party in the State, stated (Monday
that before the recent meeting of the "
State Committee at which Blease was
declared the nominee of the Democratic
party, Governor Blease had
como to the conclusion that if the
committee should not declare him the
nominee he would enter the gen- .
rial election as a candidate of the
Bull Mooso party.
However, said Beard, when the
dommlttee declared Blease the nominee,
there was no need of the Governor
changing parties. The dispatch
goes on to say that for weeks before
Blease was declared the nominee,
there were rumors to the effect that
Blease and the Bull Moose party '
were preparing to lock horns and the
statement Monday by Beard, a man
close to the Governor, shows that
these reports were true. This report
was denied by Governor Blease be- .
fore he was declared the nominee.
It is further stated in the dispatch
that Beard said that Blease had all
along determined to be governor and
that if the committee nad not declared
him the nominee, he would have
been. lie further gave as the opinion
of the Blease faction that the
committee know that the Governor
intended becoming a Moose if not
nominted and that had a great deal
to do with the committee's decision '

This is the best kind of advice, and

The World's Host Medicine.
Fresh air is probably the world's s
beo?L medicine, not only in the treatment
of diseases, but in 5 s prevention.
This is a statement buried in
an announcement by the National Association
for the Study and Prevention
of Tuberculosis. Not one person
in one hundred, it fuirh<?r says,
sets enough fresh air at his work,
at his rest or in his sleep. The association
has published a handbook on
the subject of sleeping out of doors
and giving directions as to how to
obtain the greatest benefit rn so do
ing.
The helpfullness of fresh air has
long been understood in a general
way, but calling it the world's greatest
medicine will give it a new viluo
in the minds of many. Knowledge of
it lias expanded in the last few years
from a point at which it was thought
necessary to send sufferers from
tuberculosis to California, Colorado
or Arizona to a point where the atmosphere
of the Hluc Ridge was appreciation
of the most available large
preclation of the most availabl large
open space having clean air.
Rut while the curative work goes
on, thousands of more or less ablebodied
persons make no effort to secure
individual breathing space. They
sleep with closed windows, ride in
closed cars and work in stuffy offices,
shops or store. Some few persons in ^
the crowd whose lungs are offended
protest or escape, but the hulk of
humanity tolerates polluted air while
it cries for unpolluted food and drink.
\ ? ?
Depend on Moral Virtues.
The greatness of the future will
not depend upon its science, fts invention,
its industry, its trade, its
knowledge, or any of these material
things. Our glory must rest not upon
I the physical, but upon the spiritual.
{That has been the backing of all great
reforms and upward movements recorded
in history. It has been the
vital principle of all groat and true
lives. And what is this spiritual upon
which all true progress is built? It
is faith, love, hope, friendship, unselfishness.
There is no fact in everyday
life sure and steadfast as this.
I We may grow in materinl things, but
it is not true growth unless we gro\y
ir spiritual things, too, says the Ohio
State Journal. Whoever spends his
