Indianapolis. Ind., October 7.?
Pagt s from the careers of the McNa
maras and Ortie E. McManigal, as
Isadsn of "the ilying squadron of
dynamiters," with conversations in
which thay were said to have plot?
ted to send McManigal to Panama
to blow up the locks of the Panama
? '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. McCarthy, then mayor Of San
Francisco, would insure protection
from tho police,
j Tveltmoe was then editor of a trade
paper and secretary of the Building

Augusta, Ga., Oct. 7.?The Georgia
railroad strike situation now hinges
on the technical question of whether

Terminal company. That company,

a "sympathetic" strike. It is known

strike "can be settled in 30 minutes"
if the terminal question can he got?

made tomorrow morning to move

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.

I regret to say that 1 have no power

The only thing for you to do Is to

I am advised that the Southern

believe several other companies not

additional rates. I am enclosing list
