TRANSFER PROBE
FROM THE WEST
Los Angeles Business Interests Tick
led over Prospect Of Losing
Dynamite Case.

limited Press Leased Wire Service
LOS ANGELES, Cal, Dec 1.-THE
business interests of Los Angeles, are
confident today that they have won
the fight which will shift the center
of the countrywide dynamite probe to
Indianapolis and thus end the unfav-
able advertising this city is receiving.
Secure in this belief it was thought
when the hearing of Bert
Franklin, chief detective for
the Mcnamara defense, charged
with bribery, was begun be-
fore Judge Young today that only evil
dence duplicating the accused would
be produced by the state District
Attorney Fredericks planned to put
enough evidence before the Judge to
warrant holding Franklin and then to
have the entire matter drag along I'M
til forgotten by the people when the
original plan for plea of guilty and
release of the accused on probation
might be put through without attract
ing too much attention. Both sides in
sisted, however, before court con-
vened. that they would fight the case
until the decision is subject to as sud
den change as when the Mcnamara S
pleaded guilty.
AS evidence that the business men
here have carried their point for the
soft pedal in connection with the
investigation is the admission that
Ortie Mechanical will be taken direct
to indianapolis next week.
He is to be used to corroborate the
evidence of a member of the inner
circle. of the Iron Workers union
who has agreed to tell all he knows
about the alleged dynamite conspiracy

above the bable of innumerable

that over 1000 taxicabs and automo.

and serve as a sort of aAclinic, being
instructive along the lines which are
followed j. w. Newer, of Chicago,
lauditor of freight accounts, gave a talk
about what the railroads are paying
lout annually for damage and loss. Mr..
Newell pointed out how agents, conduc-
TORS, yard men and other men connect

company money by being more dill
gent in handling freight, seeing to it
that all packages are properly marked

ed at Keokuk by the forming of the
water power lake, says The Open
Exhaust, monthly magazine publish
ed at Lacrosse, which contains wa
ter power article in the, current issue,
Illustrated with several views of the
work ON the dam.
Regarding this feature of the work,
the magazine says:
"The Harvesting of the Mississippi
river al Keokuk, Iowa, at, cost OF
TWENTY-FIVE million dollars to create
two hundred thousand horse power
will produce a lake two miles wide
and extending siXty-five miles up the
river, which will be one OF the finest
motor boat meccas in the United
States. The creation of this big pow.
err plant is the largest engineering
feat of it's kind on the western hemis
rhcre with the single exception of the
Panama canal. 1t includes the build
ing CT great dam from the Iowa &C
the Illinois shores across the Missis
sippi and the back waters from this
dam will form lake Of great depth
which should make motor boat inter
ests in this vicinity grow by leaps
and bounds
"All submerged trees will be remov
ed by the power company. thereby
forming body of water that will be
ideal for regattas and water races o.
all descriptions. The silent appeal o.
lake of this magnitude to pleasure
seekers in the middle west needs ne
comment.
Navigation interests now served by
the three old locks anc seven mile!
of canal will use the single lock at thu
Iowa end of the new dam.
THE construction of this big dan
is of Importance to the motor boat
ing interests of the west beyond thu
Irrention of the big lake, for 1t opens
up, in fact, the question Of waite
Transportation in competition with thu
lateral railway lines.
The new dam greatly improves tn,
facilities at this point for navigation
4 owing to the fact the delay Of lockin!
through three different government
locks is eliminated. In fact, the oil,
government locks at this point will b.
inundated and boats will have to us
only one lock in the future.
