in such a school, he has imposed a pa

KERN MAKES PLEA

United States Senator Speaks
Before Jury for Forty Con-
spiracy Defendants.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Dec. "a
United States Senator John W. Kern
argued in behalf Of the forty defend
ants at the dynamite conspiracy
trial today. He appealed to the jurors
to remember when preparing their
verdicts that most of the defendants
came from distant parts Of the coun-
try.
"Plaln workingmen," he said, some
of them uneducsted ironworkers,
taken from their homes hundreds or
thousands Of miles away and made to
face a strange court with district
attorney hurting harsh and abusive
language at them-is it any wonder
that some of them became confused;
is it any wonder that some of them
could not remember details of letters
they wrote five years ago? Some Of
these men didn't know what they
were charged with. They came to
me and asked me what it was all
about
"I had to explain to them that they
v ere not charged with dynamiting.

illegally. You jurors cant convict
these nen of crimes with which they
are not charged. You cannot convict
them of causing explosions, but only
with carrying explosives on passen-
ger trains or conspiring TO violate the

WASHINGTON, Dec 24.-Speaker
Clark today goes to Trenton, N. j.,
to confer with President-elect Wilson
on the congressional program and
probably to discuss cabinet possibili-
ties. Mr.. Clark refused to divulge
the real object of his call.
Sena.p, FTnke Smith, of Georgia,
will visit Trenton later in the week
to advise with Governor Wilson about
the personnel of the cabinet Senator
Smith has been prominently men
toned in the cabinet talk, but he is
understood to have declared to friends
that he would much prefer to remain
In the Senate.
Mr. Clark goes to Trenton by invi-
tation of Governor Wilson. His
friends declare that If the President
elect brings up the question of the
appointment of William J. Bryan to
a position in the new cabinet the
speaker will make an emphatic pro-
test. The speaker will make 1t clear
that under no circumstances will he
have any intercourse in the future
officially or personally, with Mr.
Bryan.
In the natural course of events a
member of the federal cabinet and
the speaker come into close contact
officially and socially. The situation
that may be presented to President
elect Wilson, in the opinion of some
Democrats here, may cause him to
ponder, althugh 1t is generally be-
lieved that Mr.. Bryan has been ten
dered and has accepted the office OF
secretary of state. Mr.. Clark will not
thrust his views relative to Mr.. Bryan
on the Presidents t-elect unless asked to
do so.
Speaker Clark believes that he was
defeated for the Democratic presi-
dental nomination at Baltimore by
Mr.. Bryan. At one stage of the pro-
ceedings in the convention the

He is firmly of the opinion that had
