THE DYNAMITE PLOT.

Whether MCManigars story as told
on the witness stand in indianapolis
is true or not, it is only in some such
way that the dynamiting Of structural
ironworks throughout the country can
be accounted for. Bridges and build
ings on which structural iron was
being used were blown up all over the
land, one after another, for many
months. Invariably there was a labor
dispute over the structure that was
destroyed. AS McManigal tells the
story, dynamiting, after he did the
first dob" was his sole occupation.
He was ordered hither and thither
about the country by kilograms in ci-
pher, being put under the direction of
local labor men where there was an
offending contractor TO be taught a
lesson.
His story makes out an extensive
conspiracy among the ironwOrkerS
leaders to carry on war against build
ers defying their union, and, whether
his charges against individuals are
true or not, no explanation. except it
be similar to his, is possible Of the
dynamiting that was actually done.
Moreover. the explosions stopped when
the arrests were made, either because
the government had caught the guilty
persons or because it had frightened
them so that they did not venture 10
resume their work. II the government
is successful in furnishing the guilty it
will be a long time before dynamiting
on any such scale is tried again In

is represented as declaring that, no

done as a result of tho Balkan war. the
one supreme and indispensable sine qua

union with Servia. for without that life
would no longer be worth living, while
that same great power and Germany
and Italy are sitting up o nights In
vigilance to prevent this same terrible
Servia from getting an outlet TO the
Adriatic. why are they all so afraid
Of Servia? And why are relations with
that little kingdom OF such transcend

of Emerson Clark, his wife and one of
their children have been found in
the ruins of their house at Harvard,

with kerosene. set fire to it, and then
persisted himself in the burning house.
The body of the child, aged 5. was
found bound up in bed clothing. There
we're evidences hat kerosene had
been used. Clark and his wife did not
live happily.
