FRANK M.RYAN FIRST DEFENSE WITNESS IN
 THE DYNAMITE TRIAL
Denies All Charges-H0ckin Voluntarily Resigns as Secretary-Treasurer of
 Iron Workers Union

Indiana polls, December 2.-Efforts to sustain a contention that those who have confessed alone caused the illegal trans- portation of explosives on passenger trains to blow up non-union iron and steel jobs, were put forth in the examination at the dynamite conspiracy trial today oi Frank M. Ryan. president of the Inter- national Association of Bridge and Struc- tural Iron Workers
 After the testimony of it's 549th witness, the government closed it's case and on it's own motion had four of the 45 defendants dismissed on the ground that the charges against them were not sustained.
 Before taking the stand as the first wit ness for the defense. Ryan announced the resignation of Herbert s. Hockin as sec retary-treasurer of the union. Hoclin, a defendant, was in court in custody of bal liffs. having been unable to get increased bonds ordered by the court nine days ago, after witnesses described him as q spy who had helped the McNamaras organ ize the "dynamiting crew. and then had given information to the government and to detectives after quarrels with the eon- IeSSeu MI. fAS nu Shiu iApNAA7 ins resignation was voluntary
 Knew Nothing of Money
 Ryan testified that neither he nor the executive board members knew of money having been expended by McNamara for dynamiting purposes. All the letters writ ten by him, which the government charges contain yelled instructions abopt jobs to be blown up, Ryan said simply referred to work upon which non-union men were, or were about to be. employed.
 Did you ever talk to Ortief E. McMan- igal about dynamiting or tell him 10 change his appearance oftener. so he would not be recognized?' asked Attorney William N. Harding.
 ''I hardly knew McManigal, and oer- tainly never knew he was employed as q dynamiter for McNamara or anyone else. ' He stated he never had visited vault in the Iron Workers headquarters in In dianapolis. where nitroglycerin and dy- namite had been kept and he never had proposed, as charged, that J. J. McNam- ara then secretary of the union, take Uockin's place as head of the "dynamiting crew" He denied he had urged violence in union strikes called seven years ago and which still are on.
 Questioned why he enclosed in a letter a newspaper clipping giving an account of an explosion, he explained 1t was sent 10 McNamara as a matter of news. He de- nied he had told Edward Clark, the con- -~~~~--~---~>~-- ~>~------->~-~-~--~-~-~-~-~->~

"While Law May Not Be Able to Enforce COmpetl- ton It Can Reach
 Combinations
JUSTICE DAY READS
 OPINION WITHOUT
 DISSENTING VOICE
Nickersham Greatly Elated by De cision-Influence of Judgment on Railroad World Will Be Wide
 Spread-Court to Super
 wise the. Separation

Washington, December 2.-The great Hartman merger created when the Union Pacific Railroad company bought 46 per cent of the stock of the Southern Pacific Railway system was split asunder today by the supreme court of the United States as violation of the Sherman anti trust law. Then, with the end of the mer- ger before it. the court sent forth it's portentous declaration that while the law may not be able to enforce competi- ton, 1t can reach combinations which rem der competition impracticable."
 Justice Day announced the unanimous opinion of the court. Justice VanDeven- ter took no part in the consideration of the case today but his personal feeling, when he was judge of the Utah circuit court, to the effect that the two roads were not competitors. and therefore not violation of the law, had resulted from the purchase, was reversed and annuled. 1n- stead of following the reasoning of Jus tice VanDeventer and Judges Sanborn and Adams, the court in substance ap- proved the minority holding of> Judge Hook that the roads were competitors and that it was just as much d violation of the law for one road to buy the con trolling stock of a competitor as it was for a holding company, as in the Northern Securities case, to buy the controlling stock of two competing companies. As the. Northern Securities company plan failed nearly 10 years ago, so the Harri- man plan fell today. W
 Court to Supervise Separation
 The circuit court for the district of Utah was directed to supervise the hS D aration of the two roads after hearings, and in emergency to appoint receiver to sell the stock. The Union Pacific, if the circuit court sees proper, may re- tain control of the old Central Pacific line from ogden to San Francisco. The de- cision of the lower court that there was no violation of the law in the attempt to acquire the Northern Pacific stock and the stock of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway company, afterwards abandoned, and certain interest in the San Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt Lake Railroad company, was allowed to stand.
 It is the general belief here that the application of the decision to the railroad situation of the country will be wide spread, placing a powerful precedent in the hands of the Attorney General to pre- vent consolidation of competing roads.
 Department of justice officials, however, were not prepared tonight to discuss the full effect of the decision. Attorney Gen eral wickersham, elated over the out come, issued statement in which he sim . ply declared the case extended principles of the Northern Securities case and re-

Statement Measuring

London. December 2.-The imperial German chaneellors statement on the European situation, together with that of Herr Won Kiderlen Waechter. the German foreign secretary, confirming that Great Britain and Germany are cooperating amicably in favor of peace is regarded in the European cap itals as reassuring and as calculated to have an effect when the peace dele gates come to discuss terms.
 pr. Von Bethmann- Hollweg's declar- alton of the solidarity of the triple all liance, which, it Is reported, has just been renewed for another term of years. and his announcement of Ger manys determination to pursue pol icy upholdlng Turkey in an economic sense, is likely to influence the dele gates of all the countries concerned to discuss peace conditions in the spirit of moderation already shown in the armistice negotiations.

No Change in Situation

Although there is no change in the actual situation tonight, some misgiv-
 ing is beginning to be expected with regard to the attitude of Greece. Vari- ous reasons are assigned for Greek reluctance to sign the armiatiee. Ac- eording to the Greek minislee at Paris, Greece opposes the proposal that the besieged garrisons shall be proyisioned during the arngistice and thinks that tho allies ought to have insisted upon theiI surrender
 There is no doubt that jealousy exists between Greece and Bulgaria. Greece asserts that the Greek fleet played an important role in the war, especially in preventing Turkey from moving her troops by sea and that without her naval assistance the allies could not have achieved such brilliant success Tho race between the Greeks and the Bull garians for the occupation of SalonilSi and the incidents which followed this, increased the i'll feeling and now the Greeks consider that their interests are being sacrificed in the peace negotiations.
 It is expected the armistlce protocol will be signed some time tomorrow but it is possible that this may be still fur ther delayed
