In closing his argument to the Jury District Attorney Miller again referred to the argument of United States Sen? ator Kern, counsel for the defendants, ttor Kern had left the city, saying going to Washington. , "The Loa Angeles Times building explosion was called the crime of the century." said Mr. Miller, "but the real ertsne of the century was this damns bla conspiracy. It will be an everlsat lag disgrace to our country and to our etvtlu?e.Uen If these' forty conspirators p re not convicted. "Gentlemen of the Jury, a United States Senator, sworn to uphold the laws of ate country, has dared to stand before yen In defence of these enemies of the Republic.

After stating the substance of the various etYencee charged and mention tag the nation-wide strike of the Iron Work era* Union, which. th?* Govern? ment charged, was the motive for one hundred explosions on the work of contractors who refused to recognize the union. Judge Anderson In his In? structions said: "It was not unlawful for the struc? tural iron workers to organize the union to which they belong. It Is not unlawful for the defendants to be mem tsars of that or any other labor organisation, men have the right to use their combined fewer through such organization to advance their interests In any lawful way; but they .have no right to use their power in the violation of the law. Organised labor la not on trial here, nor Is the right of labor to organise an Issue, but members of labor organisations owe the same obedience to the law and are liable to the same punishment for Its violation ss persons who are not members of such organisations.

"If you find from the evidence ' "it in order to carry out the purposes of the International, the defendants, or two or more of them, entered into a conspiracy to destroy with dvnamite or nltro-glycerine the property of the American Bridge Company and other open shop concerns, or the structures which they were erecting in various States of the Union, and if you find such conspiracy to destroy sucn prop srty included, as a necessary step in the accomplishment of such destruc? tion, the unlawful transporatlon of dynamite and ?n\ro-glycerine upon the vehicles oi* common ca?TiV?rs <?#M*ugeil *s the time in the transportation < f passengers from a place in one State < to a place or places in mother, or oth? er States of the United States; and if you further find, thf.t such destruc? tion of property was accomplished by explosions of dynamite and nltro-gly? cerine in various places throughout the United States, and that the dyna? mite and nltro-glycerine, with which auch explosions were produced were as a matter of fact transported from State to State upon the vehicles of common carriers, engaged at the time in the carrying of passengers^ as averred, then you will be authorized to And that a conspiracy was formed to transport dynamite and ntiro-glyce rlne unlawfully, as charged in the in 1 dijtment." Calling attention to the charges of Illegal transportation, the Court said: "You may find the defendants guilty upon all of the cdunts of the indict? ment upon which they are now upon trial, If you are satisfied beyond a reasonable doubt that the proofs Jus? tify It Or you may find the defend? ants guilty upon any one or more of I the counts of the Indictment and not I guilty upon the others.

"The, witness^ William t Burns, j while on i?e witness stand, detailed a conversation that he had with the de? fendant, Hoekin. in which he made statements to Hoekin about the de fendant, Tveltmoe. having been in prison and rtUVIng a prison rcord.

The testimony of Bums about Tveltmoe, referred to by the Court, was that Hums had numerous conver? sations with Hoekin shortly after the Los Angeles Times explosion and that I dims reggted to Hoekin how he ex? pected Tveltmoe would "blow him up,' because he (Mums) had obtain? ed a photograph of Tveltmoe in the garb of a Minnesota penitentiary prisoner and had published it In a San Uraneiseo newspaper.

President Flnlo> of Southern liuilwuy Sees In Puiiumu ( anal Great Op? portunity for South. Washington, Dec. 26.?President Finley of the Southern Hallway Com? pany and the Mobile & Ohio Railroad Company, referring today to tho or? ganization at Atlanta, on the 11th in? stant of the Southern Panama Can? al Conference, with a permanent or? ganization to work for the develop? ment of trade between the Southeast? ern States and the markets that Will I be brought into closer relations with the South Atlantic and Gulf ports by the opening of the Panama Canal, said: "It is the hope of those who par? ticipated In the formation of this or? ganization that it may prove to be an efficient agency for co-operatkn with manufacturers and merchants th\rougout the Southeastern States and Wlfrh all of the South Atlantic and Quli* ports for the building up of a large and profitable business with the Latin-^American countries. "Tho people of those countries pro? duce large quantities of commodities consumed in the United States and are constantly buying increased quan? tities of commodities that can be suc? cessfully be produced in the South? eastern States. "As illusf ating the fact that this traffic cap successfully be moved through Southern ports, I may men? tion that there are now regular steam? ship sailings from the port of Mobile to Montevedlo and Huenoa Ayres and that these vessels carry full cargoes on each trip.' At present these ves? sels carry return cargoes from South America to the North Atlantic ports, but efforts are b&ing made to deevlop the handling of return cargoes through Mobile. It is expected that this ser? vice will be expanded to cover the principal Pacific Coast ports of Cen? tral and South America as soon as the Panama Canal has been completed. "The possibilities tor the develop? ment of trade with the Latln-Ameri can countries are so great as to open opportunities to other Southern ports as well as to Mobile, and it is the purpose of the Southern Panama Canal Conference and the railways I have the honor to represent to be helpful as far as practicable in the building up of this business." another hunting accident. Well Known Columbian! Accidentally Killed Friday. Columbia, Dec. 28.?An accidential gunshot wound self-inflicted caused the death of George Wilmot Davis yesterday afternoon '. about 5.30 o'clock. The accident occurred about two miles east of the city at the end of the Shandon Annex chr line, where Mr. Davis, who was returning from a hnniing trip, was waiting for a car. The details of the accident were un? obtainable, because there were no eye-witnesses, but an investigation made by those who heard the shot and arrived a few minutes later show? ed that Mr. Davis had laid "his gun aside and was playing with his two hunting dogs. He evidently picked up his gun with the muzzle pointed toward him and one barrel was dis? charged, the entire load entering his side.

Georgia Governor Would Exclude Those Paroled on Condition That They Leave South Carolina. Atlanta. Ga? Doc. 26.?Gov. Brown will bar from Georgia the convict-* freed by Gov. Hlease of South Caro? lina if it is possible for him to do so. The Georgia executive, who is known for his stand against the too free use of the pardoning power, to? day severely criticised the action of Gov. Hlease in freeing convicts on condition that they go to some other State. By this course Gov Hlease pro? tects his own State but at the same time menaces the oeace and the wel? fare of other communities, the Geor? gia executive said. "I don't know," declared Gov. Brown, "whether anything can be done but it is my opinion that nothing can be done so long as any of the convicts who may move to this State conduct themselves in'an honorable and upright manner and maintain a standard of good citizenship. "The action taken by Gov. Blease, I think, is to say the least, one of great impropriety." La Follotte's Cat Tale. Xew York Times. Senator La Folietle, apropos of the campaign contribut .ons investigation said to a Washington correspondent: "It used to be that the party bribed the voter. Now, it seen.s, the voter bribes the party?and not with a $5 bill or so, but with quarter millions. "I suppose that vicissitudes like that of the Nola Chucky cat no longer happen to electioneers. "An electioneer, you know, visited a Nola Chucky man to get his vote. The man himself was out, but his wife said: " *I can't promise you nothing about Jonathan, sir. He's independ? ent. He'll vote as seems best to him? self.' "The electioneer, after being as agreeable as possible, rose to go. But first he patted a wretched, mangy kitten on the woman's lap. " Tm very fond of cats,' he said. 'I shouldn't mind giving you $5 for that one.' "The woman jumped at the offer. She locked the $5 in a drawer, she put the cat in a basket, and, as she ushered the man out with his pur? chase on his arm, she said: " *P11 do the best I can for you *hoJt that vote, sir. Ao I told you be? fore, Jonathan won't be influenced by anybody. The gentleman thaCs elec? tioneering for your opponent spent a full our here with me uselessly yes? terday, and by the way, he bought the brother of that kitten of yours for $10/ " The Honor System. Changes of the most unexpected character are always being made, an I the world stands willing and waiting for new movements by most every? body. Recently one of the leading ed? ucational institutions in the South has been stirred considerably by the ru? mor of the abolition of the honor system, which has been in vogue there for quite a while. For many months the country has been clamoring for the honor system for the peniten? tiaries and convict camp, and the pa? role is now a common occurrence. To the uninitiated it seems more than passing strange that the highly educated college youth can not be trusted to do equally as much, or more for honor's sake than the man who has gone down. They say that it is easy to keep going until you fail in honor, and after that the dark, so to speak. In educational institutions there is no doubt but that one of the great fundamental and underlying principles should be honor. Honor is one of the greatest words in language of any kind, and from it springs the innumerable high ideals that affect the very life of our people. Around that word the songsters of time carol music that blends with eternity ,an>l the harbingers of home are garbed in its radiant white. In Its rhythm is found the essence of motion, and if it is once abolished, all else falls to a lower standard, for it means placing one in position to do what he may, as long as he can get away, as it were. Reforms and progress and all the kindred things that beset the folk of today ate distracting to many. It is strange that people who clamor for the honor System and its extension to the uttermost ends of earth should v\ant to have it abolished right where Iii. highest principles of life find their Inception, It is going just a little too far in one direction or another, and there ate but few people who can not arrive at the conclusion ;is to which is the right way to solve the problems in both instances.?Augusta chronicle.

Distinguished Patient Almost Recov? ered from Im Grippe?Saw Only Two Visitors Yesterday?Resting Preparatory to Starting on Trip to Staunlon this Morning to Receive Honors Accorded by City of His Nativity?Elaborate Pduis for "Wil? son Day*' Celebration. Princeton, X. J., Dec. 26.?Propped up In bed, President-elect Woodrow Wilson sat for two hours today talk? ing about currency reform with Rep? resentative Glass, of Virgina, chair? man of the House sub-eomm.'ttee on banking and currency reform, and Dr. H. P. Willis, of New York, financial writer. "The confer* nee concerned gener? alities," said Mr. Glr.ss afterwards. "The Governor ha^ some positive views about currency reform and dis? cusses them more decisively and more clearly than any one I have ever met." Mr. Glass said he was not at liberty to d'f-.-dose what was discussed in the. conference. "That's what we talked about," he said as he exhibited a hand? ful of five dollar gold pieces. He remarked, however, that none of the bills supposed to be before his com? mittee in Congress were authentic and that the committee had not. yet draft? ed any measure. He adde? that pub? lic hearings would begin January 7. The Governor had almost recover? ed tonight from his attack of la grippe but in accordance with the physician's orders he remained in bed and saw no one but Messrs, Glass and Wrillis. He will leave at 10.20 o'clock tomorrow for Staunton, Va. his birthplace, there to celebrate with the townsfolk his 56 th. birthday on Saturday. Tire train will reach Washington at 3.15 P. M. and will be there for fifteen min? utes, while the two special cars car? rying the Governor and a party of Vir? ginians living in New York, who will accompany him, will be switched from he Pennsylvania Railroad to the Cnes apeak and Ohio. It will be the first time, however, that the President-elect will have stopped in the National Cap? ital since election. A coincidence of the journey is that Richard H. Taylor, one of the secret sendee men detailed with the Govern? or since election also hails from Staun ton, from which place as a boy he ran away to sea and won a medal of hon? or from Congress for safely navigating an American war .aVsel and saving it from destruction in a hurricane off the Samoan Islands in 1889. Mrs. Wilson will go with the Presi? dent-elect. She said tonight that while his health had improved, she had thought it a bit risky for him to make the trip to Staunton on account of the cold weather. Dr. J. M. Carnochan, the family physician, saw the Governor a few minutes early in the day, but did not think another visit necessary until early tomorrow. It is unlikely that the Governor wfll make any more au? tomobile trips to and from Trenton in the cold weather, though his indis? position is believed to be as much the result of the quick change from the warm Bermuda climate to frigid lati? tudes as to exposure. His digestion has not been of the best, either, since his return, and, cou? pled with the effect of his long hours j at the state House, it was feared at first that he was on the road to a se? vere breakdown.

ETHEREDGE AT LEESVILLE. Possible settlement of Bank Affairs on Saturday. Lexington, Dec. 26.?Much inter? est centres in the meeting of the di? re* tors and stockholders of the Peo? ples' Hunk, of Leesvillo, to be held on Saturday of this week. The Peo? ples' Hank closed its doors on tho -7th of November, after its president, l?r. E. J. Etheredge, had absented himself from the town for several days. Dr. Etheredge owed the insti? tution something like $20,000, it is stated, having violated the State bank? ing laws in loaning to himself more than is allowed by the statute. For the loans he had secured Dr. Ether? edge deposited with the bank a great deal of paper, much of which is said to be totally worthless. It is genet ally believed now that Dr. Etheredge is at his home in Leesville, where he remains secluded from the public, and where he has been making an honest effort to secure funds to square rt.nself with the bank and to clear his other outside indebtedness. He has been addressing letters to his friends in different sections of the S*ate, dating them at Leesville, but having them posted on the train. It is believed that, if the other indebtedness Of the president?which is said to reach up into the thousands, far in excess of his obligations to the Peo? ples' Bank?can be amicably adjusted so that no criminal proceedings will be instituted against Dr. Etheredge, his relatives and friends will make good every dollar that is owing the bank. That is they will offer a com? promise, the understanding being, however, that the bank will release Dr. Etheredge from further liability and agree that no action w?U be brought in the Criminal Courts. In the event that the stockholders and directors at the joint meeting Saturday refuse to accept a compro? mise, the next step will likely be to place the affairs of the bank in the hands of a receiver, and this step will be taken at once. It is an established fact that the depositors will be paid off In full, there being sufficient collateral held by tho bank to raise funds enough for this purpose, besides the stockholders, un | der the law, are liable to the depos? itors. Whether the directors snd stockholders will be willing to sub- ut to a loss themselves, if any there be, and relieve Dr. Etheredge, remains to be seen. '-v TILLMAN CHILDREN ER.
