STENOGRAPHERS WERE BELOW

Indianapolis, Ind, Feb. 19.-What-
ever Frank NJ. Ryan and other lndlct-
ed union officials have said in their
office about the dynamite conspiracy
since last October is alleged to have
been learned by the government
by dictagraph shown today in the
headquarters of the international AS
sociation of Bridge and Structurai
Iron Workers.
The dictagraph, hidden under a
drawer in a desk about which Ryan,
the president; Herbert S. Hockin, the
secretary-treasurer, and j. T. Butler,
first vice-president, and other offlc-
ials, conferred concerning their de-
fense and pleas is said to have en-
abled two government stenographers
in a room below to take daily reports
of the conversation.
The use of the dictagraph was dis
closed today, when the government de-
cided it was no longer of value, be-
cause a woman clerk in Ryan's office
was heard to say. well, | suppose
they are hearing now whatever we
say" That, with statements by Ryan.
convinced Assistant District Attorney
Clarence Nichols that the dictagraph
was no longer useful.
The discovery of the dictagraph fol-
lowed soon after the government had
received intimations that some of the
defendants were ready "to tell all they
know"
District Attorney Charles w. Miller
said many volumes of stenographic
notes had been taken on the dicta-
graph and would be used at the trials.
The instrument still was working to-
day when the following was recorded:
"Woman's Voice: wonder if those
wires go to the Jail and whether they
are listening to us now""
"Voice: 4 suppose so. l wish L
could find out where the sounding
board is"
"Hockin: "Say Ryan, do you know
what a dictagraph looks like?
Ryan: It's about as big as a hat,
I am told, but never saw one
"Hockin: 4 hear there is one on eX-
hibition in this city and l believe 1
will go and take look at it,
After that Mr.. Nichols said he had
no doubt Ryan knew of the dictagraph.
AS further showing the operation Of
the dictagraph, Mr.. Nichols gave out
a sample of "a conversation known to
have taken place last Wednesday soon
after the arrests were made.

ment will pay the expenses of these
men coming to indianapolis on March

Ryan was then told there was a dc
tagraph in his office. He consented to
have his informant search the office.

ARIZONA EASTERN WILL
ISSUE sl,750,OOO BONDS
Railroad Company to Spend
Large Amount of Money
in Improvements

What does the Arizona Eastern rail
road company want to do with
sI750,oOO?
This interesting question will be
made clear next Friday, when repre-
sentatives OF that company will ap-
pear at Phoenix before the Arizona
corporation commission TO show cause
why permission should be granted for
the issuance OF S1,T50,0O0 worth Of
bonds.
First. the Arizona Eastern applied
for permission to issue bonds to the
value Of S650,000. Il was stated that
the money was required to build new
shops in Phoenix. The hearing was
set for last Tuesday.
The latter part OF last week the
railroad attorneys asked leave 10
amend the application and requested
that the hearing be postponed. Post
ponement was taken till Friday. No
vember s, and the amendment was
fled
The amendment states the amount
of bonds which the company desires
TO issue at S1,75O.000. 1t does not
state, however. the reason for the in
crease. II is suspected that the ad-
ditional money is required to build
the proposed road through the ella
Box canyon.

DON'T PULL OUT
THE GRAY HAIRS
A Few Applications of Sim
pie Remedy Will Bring
Back the Natural Color.

Pull out one gray hair and a doz-

ing, which is, TO 4 great extent, true,
if no steps are taken to stop the
cause. When gray hairs appear it is
sign that Nature needs assistance.
1t is Natures call Tor help. Gray
hair, dull, lifeless hair, or hair that
IS falling out, is not necessarily a
sign Of advancing age, for there are
thousands OF elderly people With per-
feet heads Of hair without a gngle
streak of gray.
When gray hairs come, or when the
hair seems to be lifeless or dead,
some good, reliable hair-restoring
treatment should be resorted to at
once. Specialists say that one OF the
best preparations to use is the old
fashioned sage tea" which our grand
parents used. The best preparation
Of this kind IL Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Hair Remedy, a preparation
OF domestic sage and sulphur, scien-
tifically compounded with later dis
covered hair tonics and stimulants,
the whole mixture being carefully
balanced and tested by experts.
Wyeth's Sage and sulphur is clean
and wholesome and perfectly harm
less. 1t refreshes dry, parched hair,
removes dandruff and gradually re-
stores faded or gray hair to its nat
Hral color.
Don't delay another minute. Start
using Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur at
once and see what a difference d few
