'anal, were read by District Attor? ney Charles W. Miller before the jury at the trial of the accused "dynamite conspirators" today. j The Incident In reference to Pana? ma, Mr. Miller said, occurred just be? fore the arrest of the Los Angeles dynamiters, when they were becom? ing desperate in their efforts to se? cure explosives without betraying their Identities. "John J. called James P. McNa mara, 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'* get any more dynamite around here without stealing it. Now you go to Panama and see what you can do down there. The McClintlc-Marshall Construction company has a lot oft dynamite stored down tihere. 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 Ix>s '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 States. Edward Clark, Cincinnati, former president of the local Iron Workers changed his plea from "not guilty" to "guilty," and was locked up, pend? ing sentence. . ? Olaf Tveltmoe, of San Francisco, now on trial, was accused in the Gov? ernment's statement to the jury as having been the "pretector' of the dynamiters on the Pacific coast who pointed out how the- Los Angeles Times bulldlg and the Llewellyn Iron Works were to be blown up, who wanted the Baker Iron Works and the Times auxiliary' plant blown up and who promised to the dynamiters that his (Tveltmoe's) friendship with 1\ 11.

Situation Now Hingen on Action of Atlanta Joint Terminal Company Rogarding its Men. Augusta, Ga., Oct. 7.?The Georgia railroad strike situation now hinges on the technical question of whether or not the Georgia railroad directs ^ the operation of the Atlanta Joint Terminal company. That company, through announcement at tl e Geor? gia railroad offices \bere, refuses t<> take back 40 m ^n who went out on a "sympathetic" strike. It is known on perfectly good authority that the strike "can be settled in 30 minutes" if the terminal question can he got? ten out of the way. That depends on the outcome of a conference in Atlanta between Messrs. Evans and Smith who, with Col. T. K. Scott, compose the terminal hoard. There will be no more conferences here tonight, and no effort will be made tomorrow morning to move trains. - WUi Meet Tomorrow. Atlanta, Oct. 7.?President G. A.

Augusta, i >ct. ?The Qeorgia railroad .strike preaenta a peculiar triangular problem tonight Superin? tendent Brand says there uili be no effort to operate the morning passen? ger trains out of Augusta or Atlanta, but beyond that will not in any way forecast the future. When the road intends trying to operate freight trains he will not discuss at all. Among the men involved in the strike the plain declaration is that the road is locked tight and is going to remain so until an agreement is reached in the matter of the 40-odd men in Atlanta. Therein the road and the striking men occupy the position they have occupied all the time, and the other corners of the triangle come from the people along the line. At Thompson the open declara? tion Is made that no trains will be allowed to run through McDuffie County unless operated by agreement of the men involved In the strike. At Sparta the people are getting hungry and demand has been made on the officials of the road and the of? ficers of the union organization for the operation of one train to Mil ledgeville for supplies. Superintend? ent Brand has agreed and Vice Pres? ident Murdock has declined, with re? gret. Finally Gov. Brown has been appealed to and takes the position that he can't interfere unless called upon officially by some sheriff. How? ever, Sparta declares that town will station men the entire distance and operate the train despite any adverse sentiment if they can find a crew to operate it, declaring it is simply a question of hunger with them.
