ROAD MEETING HELD

Owatonna.-More than three hun
dred men, the great majority of whom
were farmers vitality interested in
good roads work, attended a meeting
here. Township supervisors, road
commissioners and good roads boost
ers from miles around were present
and sat down to dinner provided by
the Business Mems league and served
by Universalist church members.

comes from the large corporations

When he wants to be deliriously joy

46 ARE ARRA|GNED
DEFENDANTS CHARGED WITH
UNLAWFUL TRANSPORTA-
TION OF DYNAMITE.
LONG CONTEST BEGUN
Motion to Quash the Indictments De.
nied-OnIy Eight Of Ffty-four
Men, Accused of Conspiracy,
Are Absent.

INDIANAPOLIS, Indiana. Forty-six
labor union leaders, charged with un-
lawful interstate transportation of dy-
Mantle and nitroglycerin, alleged to
have been used in five-year campaign
of terrorism against the open shop"
in the structural industry throughout
the country, were arraigned in the
federal court.
Demurrers to indictments against
the defendants were filed before
Judge A. B. Anderson by counsel for
the indicted men. Elijah Zoline of Chi
cago, one of the attorneys for the de-
fense, began the argument in support
of a motion to quash' the indictments
on the ground that many of them
charged the same offense of conspir-
acy to illegally transport explosives.
Judge Anderson interrupted Mr..
Zoline with a statement that the mo-
ton to quash the indictments on the
ground of confusing multiplicity was
absurd
Indictments Are Attacked.
Attorney Alfred Hovey then attack
ed the indictments, denying there was
a showing that the defendants had un-
lawfully conveyed explosives on pas
senger trains. He declared there was
no violation of federal statute unless
explosives were transported on COM
mon carriers concealed in marked
packages and maintained the indict-
ments did not so state.
Never before in the history of the
federal courts had so many men been
indicted in a single proceeding, and
because of the wide interest in the
case the courtroom was crowded be-
fore Judge A. B. Anderson came to the
bench.
Eight Defendants Absent.
The absent defendants were John j.
Mcnamara, James B. Mcnamara,
Ortie E. McManigal, Eugene A. Clancy
of San Francisco, former member of
the executive board of the Iron Work
ers, and Olaf A. Tveitmoe, secretary
of the building trades council of Cali
fornia, under indictment and bond in
that state; John J. McCrary, former
member of the executive board of the
Iron Workers association where
abouts unknown, and John R. Carroll
and Edward E. Phillips of the Iron

MOORHEAD ON STAND AGAIN
RELATES HOW HE FEARED BEING
INTERCEPTED.
Moorhead Man Says Logging Line Zig.
Jagged Through Best Timber
Tract.

Washington, D. C.. w. X. Moor
head, witness before the Graham COM
mittee, was again on the stand and was
asked by Representative George to go
into details regarding his statement
that when collecting affidavits on the
White Earth reservation he feared he
might be intercepted in his effort to
take the affidavits to Washington.
When | was about ready to return to
Washington" Mr.. Moorhead replied,
"a friend of mine who had recently
been in Park Rapids, the nearest point
to the railroad, said that several per-
sons had asked when l would reach
Park Rapids and when l would start
for Washington. My friend said he
inferred from their questions that they
hoped to persuade me not to present
my affidavits to the federal authorities
and might even accompany me on the
train.
1T was plain they represented the
interests involved in my affidavits. Not
desiring to take any risks proceeded
north and took the railroad at another
point"
Mr.. Moorhead also discussed the con-
struction Of the Nicholas Chisholm log
ging railroad, running Is miles north
of Pontsford in navigable waters.
This incident in the White Earth
history should be investigated. The
Nichols-Chisholm people were given
concessions to pass over the Indian
lands with their railroad after COM
pensating the owners for timber. 1t
appears, however, that the compensa-
tion was merely nominal, and that the
railroad builders twisted their route in
and out so as to pass through the fin
est pine timber, besides cutting a path
many times wider than their permit al
lowed. When l saw the amount paid
the Indians for this timber / was
amazed at it's smallness."
