CLAIMS IRON MEN KEPT TWO RECORDS BOOkkeeper Tells of Ex- pense Account of
 McNamara

Indianapolis, Ind, october 21-Readlng from the financial account books of the International Association of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers for the period when John ]. McNamara. the secretary treasurer, was conducting a "campaign of explosions about the country, Mrs. Mary c. Dye former bookkeeper for Me Namara, testified at the dynamite con- spiracy' trial today that one record of money expended was kept for the union S officials and executive board members, while a different record was kept for the public and for members of the union gen. erally.
 A regular system of Juggling" the ac- counts. the government charges. was maintained to conceal payments for dy- namiting expenses.
 Miss Dyes testimony was that dual system of recording expenditures was in force prior to 1909, or until the execu- tive board decided to allow McNamara 5000 a month without requiring any ac- counting which continued until after the Los Angeles Times building was blown up. It was out of this $10o0 month the government charges, that McNamara paid Ortie F. McMangal and James B. Me Namara for the Pacific coast explosions and for thirty-five other explosions.
 Miss Dye testified that in the books available to the officials full amounts paid to McNamara. Hockin and others were given, but in the records published in the union magazine less than half the amounts were charged to the individuals, while the difference was charged to emergency fund by order of the execu- tive board.
 The witness said that for the fiscal year ending in 1909, s369s was paid to Frank C. Webb of New York. while s1572 was recorded in McNamara's report to the union; $4,970 was paid to Hociin, while $2o43 was reported to the union; and s2537 was paid to J. J. McNamara. while sl9S7 was reported to the union having been paid to him, the differences in each case being charged to the emer gency fund.
 The government alleges S20,000 was rep resepted in aggregate differences and was used for dynamiting purposes.
 The witness stated that prior to the monthly allowances to McNamara, funds were charged up as donations to various unions or as advances to various officials, without any later showing to the dis position of the money.

MARSHALL SPEAKS
 IN CALF ORN|A Criticised Governor JOhn- son for His Indiana
 Speeches

Sacramento, Cal, October Ex-Governor Marshall of Indiana, democratic vice pres idential nominee, criticized Governor Johnson of california, his opponent on the progressive ticket, in an open air meet ing here late today. His reference to Gov ernor Johnson was made after the demo- cratic nominee had been welcomed to Sac ramento and had been wished success by Grover Johnson, Governor Johnson's s father.
 'Governor Johnson came into our state and gave our people lot of advice about running Indiana" said Governor Marshall. He had a lot to say how backward we were and how much we lacked progress but am not going to attempt to give you California people any advice in this con nection l think you are competent enough and sensible enough to handle your own affairs without suggestions from me
 However, I do want to say in reply to Governor Johnsons criticism of h. diana that Taft republican in Indiana this year will be able to vote for MT. Taft on republican ticket under republic an emblem. We have no such law as your election law, which l am told bars your republicans from voting for 1dr Taft.
 You are not progressive evidently, as l had been informed you were, or you would not be held powerless under this law which practically has lost to many of you your franchises.
 T should like to see California cast it's electorial vote for Woodrow Wilson, but I want it done through the free will voters. l would not like to see Wood row Wilson win this state if the voters were driven to it by a law which rendered them powerless to vote for their own choice"
